the workers. What the grafterS of
the B. & S. mean by a new deal is,
if one branch makes more money
than the other, the boss should
cut the salary of the branch, and
raise the other. So in the end the
total salary of the whole shop is
not one cent more, and we con-
tinue to work for starvation wages.
The present business agent of the
B. g. S., Silverman, who brought
the B. 81 S. into the factory while
We we're striking for the recognition
of the United Shoe. and Leather
Union and better wages, has now
the nerve to tell us that we are
scabs.
EDITORIAL NOTE: This letter
by an I. Miller worker should
prove very clearly to the workers
as to just what kind of union
the Boot e. Shoe really is. A rat
like Silverman, the present agent
Of the Boot & Shoe, who helped
to ram the Boot G. Shoe down
the workers threats. peurs salt on
the open wound of the workers,
calling them scabs. Can the work
ers Of 1. Miller expect anything
in their favor from such a
leader? They certainly cannot
and they certainly should not.
Only their fighting opposition
to the boss-paid Siivermans can
force these rats to bring up the
demand of the workers to the
Millers. Only control by the rank
and file-not by the grating Of
ficials-can insure a real active
union that can WIN higher wages
and better conditions for the
workers in /. Miller.
If you want to get more infor-
nation On the Opposition in the
Boot e. Shoe, write to the Daily
Worker, so E. 18th St., N.Y.C.
Build rank and file committees
in the various departments. Dis
cuss your grievances and join the
organized opposition in the Boot

genuine Communist Party of the

Now the kind philosophers" who

Well, the game is unfair unless both
parties involved have equal chan
ces to put each other wise.
If those friends" who take the
trouble Of sending the Militant"
to us of the CP.U.S.A., would make
themselves known, many of us would
present them with copy of the

the Militant" sent. Isn't this fair
play?
1t is strange that in the left cor

ClOversville Relief
BurO Gives Starving
Workers Rotten Meat
By a Worker Correspondent

GLOVERSVILLE, n. Y. The
relief bureau gave cut smoked ham
in their orders. This meat was
mouldy and rotten. I called in a
home the same night the woman
received this shrinking meat, and
she showed me the meat and told
me it was spoiled and asked nc to
take it home for my dog. I took the
meat. it was two small hams or
shoulders. cut one and gave the
dog the meat raw, and he refused
at first to eat it, but I saw later he
ate it. This was at noon time. At
night fed him as usual, and he
would not eat all day and all day
next day he did not eat. I thought
he was going to Gle. This is just
some more of Roosevelt's recovery
program.
The woman has three small chill
dren. The Oldest is five years old.
What would have happened if they
had eaten this stuff?

Communists Uncover
Killing of Negro Youth
By Police In Chicago
tpalIy worker Miarest Bureau1


CHICAGO, July 23.-Breaking
through attempts to hush up the
case, the Communist Party, Sec
ton 8, has exposed the brutal po-
lice murder OF Jame7 Trou man,
18-year-old Negro youth.
Troutman, according to the rec
ords in the police station, died OF
an accident" The truth, workers
who knew him say, is that he was
killed by Third Degree methods,
following his railroaded conviction
on robbery charge.
To organize fight against such
tactics by the police, and also to
popularize the victory which Dora
Huckleberry, Negro Communist
candidate for state assembly, won
in forcing relief authorities to pay
rents, Section 9 held a mass pro-
tcss and election rally at Scot shoro
Hall yesterday.

LAWRENCE ROTH
Editorial Note: The Communist
League of America is a small
group of followers of Leon Trotsky,
renegades from the only party
that is fighting for the best inter-
est of the American working class,
the Communist Party of the u.
S.A., affiliated with the Commu-
mist International.
AS you have noticed, their chief
role and the chief role of their
paper, "The Militant" Is to
attempt to split the ranks of
the revolutionary workers by vi
cious attacks upon the Communist
Party and the General Secretary
of the c. P. S. U. Comradc Stain.
The correctness of the Communist
Party line in fighting the battles
of the working class Is shown daily
by the steady recruiting into the
Party and mass support being
given more and more to its actions.
AS a result, these spiitters, to-
gether with the right" betrayers
Of the working class, the social
democratic parties the world over.
the Socialist Party of the U. S. A.
and the A. F. Of L. bureaucrats
are intensifying their descriptive
efforts. The Importance of the
Trotskyites to destroy the soli-
darity of the revolutionary workers
is shown by the smallness of their
numbers.
No Communist paper today
can be published which does not
support with all its forces the
campaign te free the Scottsboro
h7ys. who have become the symbol
OF the oppression of the Negro
People by their white rulers, and
without whose liberation the work
ing class cannot be freed from
the shackles of capitalism.

THE MEANING OF LIBERALISM

No term has been subjected to greater
misinterpretation in recent years than the
ancient and honorable word Liberalism 2
A multitude of men, some holding official
positions of great Importance, have used it
to justify attempts to foist foreign theories
of government upon our people, to restrict
their liberties and their rights, and to ex-
cuse political quackery of the worst type.
In truth, Liberalism is best exempli-
fled in. fundamental Americanism-Old-
fashioned Americanisn, Constitutionalism.
The genuine Liberal strives to free the
people, not to bind them with the chains of
bureaucracy. He seeks to give them the
widest possible scope for their abilities. not
to restrict them with laws and pronounce
ments. The right to work, to save, to own
property and have it protected by the gov
eminent. to prepare for ones old age, to
assure the welfare of dependents those
are the tenets of real Liberalism, Con-
stitutionalism.
Throughout the world we have wit
messed what happens to great nations when
this type of Liberalism is crushed beneath
the iron heel of bureaucratic relationships.
Germany, Russia, Italy-here are prime
examples of what political "isms" can do
to a people. Free speech, freedom of the
press, freedom of action, liberty-all are
0utlaweds and punishable offenses. II it
We're possible, freedom of thought would
receive the same treatment
i u The American people should hold
tightly to their constitutional heritage-it
has been tested by the years, and has been
found good. If the people fail to do this,
all that our forefathers gave to us will be
destroyed.

SCHOOL AHEAD-SLOW DOWN!

During the summer months those
warnings you see on Key Vests streets,
School Ahead-Slow Down. or School
Ahead-Watch Quit" mean little to you.
You know the buildings are closed and the
youngsters scattered to all points of the
compass, and you continue your speed
without slackening.
Now, however, those signs have a
grave significance. The signs are vital
warning to all motorists to watch out for
the youngsters.
In spite of the efforts of school au-
thorities and safety workers, automobile
casualties still account for more child
fatalities than any other accidental cause.
Last year, 400 boys and girls of school
age were killed in such mishaps, and many
thousands more were injured, according to
figures supplied by the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters
The evidence underlying the statistics
appear to place the blame heavily on
motorists for the youngsters have shown a
remarkable ability to watch out for them
selves by observing safety rules and prin-
ciples. In five years, for example, while
motor vehicle accidents involving adults
have increased 81 per cent, those involving
children have decreased 20 per cent.
1t has been said that the achievement
in the schools is the brightest spot in the
entire safety movement Children can be
taught to respect and obey the rules of
governing their own conduct in traffic, but
they are helpless if careless motorists re-
fuse to cooperate
Motorists, take care for school chill
dren. The sign: School Ahead-Slow
Down." is a driving commandment.
