Class Against Class

THE capitalist character of the Roosevelt
L regime is shown in every action that it
takes. All of its activities are directed
toward handing out billions to the bankers
and industrialists. To the workers the
New Deal" offers nothing but demagogic promises.
Concrete proof of the capitalist class purpose of
the New Deal is given by report in the current
issue Of the Influential United States News, the
gan of the most reactionary section of the capital
lists 1t deals with the expenditures of the govern
ment for last week.
The following facts drive home lessons that every
worker must learn if they to check the hunger
drive of the capitalists The facts show that last
week the government spent $l92O00o0O OF this
sum, S92, 600 900 was given to the bankers as in
terest payments. The interest payments $1,000
900 more this year than last
In contrast with the increase in the amount
handed over to Wall Street there was decrease in
the amount spent for relief. This was cut from
SIS 0o0,0 900 to 100000.
The Roosevelt government is slashng relief at
a time when the United States News admits that
more than 100000 persons are on relief rolls
and that this winter another 100000 will have to
be added. This means that one-sixth of the entire
population have no other of life, other than
the starvation relief that they get.
Roosevelt holds out the promise Of better times
his for cutting relief This is nothing but
election ballyhoo 1t is exposed by the figures of
the Department of Labor which report that in Sep
TENDER there was drop TO At per cent in the
number of jobs, and that payrolls fell So per cent
Unemployment is increasing and wages are fall
ing, but the cost of living is going up steadily and
profits are at their highest level since 1881. These
facts illuminate the purpose of the new deal it is
to get out of the crisis at the expense of the iv-
ing standards Of the workers and their families
This is the point that the Communist Party
has been emphasizing since the inception of the
New Deal 1t alone ripped off the liberal mask that

DyerS Reject GOrman's
No Strike Truce

TWENTY FIVE thousand silk and rayon
dyers refuse to accept Germans mo
strike truce On Thursday morning they
will walk out solidly, and fight until their
demands, which include 100 per cent
union shop, 800 an hour, and no discrimination,
will be met Eghty-fve per cent Of the workers are
reported in the union yet the employers refuse to
aceede to complete union control. They wish to
hold on to every possibility for developing COM
pany union
But although the workers are well organized
unless the lessons of the recent bitter experience
in the industry are remembered the fight will be
seriously weakened.
In the first place the Gorman-Keller treacher-
GUS policy must be thoroughly exposed before the
workers 1t is German who called of the General
Textile Strike and agreed to a six-month mo-
strike" truce leaving tens Of thousands backisted,
to be evicted, giving a start to company unions,
and wage-cuts 1t is the Lovestonite Keller who
keeps his control in the silk locals by means Of
deputized henchmen and police and has thus far
managed to prevent action for a strike against the
wholesale lockouts and discrimination. At this
moment when both the dye and silk unions face
a strike situation ne is doing everything in his
power to prevent united struggle and that the
agreements OF these two branches in the industry
should expire at the same time
This strike should be marked by rank and file
control from beginning to the very end. Each shop
should elect representative action and picket COM
mttee. Representatives of all shops should meet
regularly and decide the conduct Of the strike.
Negotiations and settlement should not be left to
the leaders but should be subject to approval by
the strikers before taking effect
Because the shops unionized, there should
be no illusion that picketing is unnecessary The
bosses have already announced that they will seek
scabs through the U. S. Employment Service and
protection for them. There must be daily mass
picket demonstration around every plant. Only
such action from the very start, will force quick
and successful conclusion of the strike.
Silk and dye workers! Don't let the United
Textile Union officials split your ranks The silk
weavers should force decision for a strike at the
membership meeting scheduled next Saturday The
dye workers should appeal to the silk workers to
come out together with them. huge joint mass
meeting in the Passaic valley should be arranged
to unite all forces for the mass struggle.
Don't let the likes of German or Keller take
leadership of your struggle. Rank and file control
is the only guarantee that results such as we see
of the General Textile Strike should not be re-
peated.
or into placing your demands before any agency of
the N. R. A. You can only expect blacklisting and
company unions from these boards.

Silk workers. Defeat the efforts Of your lead
Come out with the dyers!

IniuncttonS Under the MIRA

TINE Injunction issued against the strlk-
L ing New York cafeteria workers is the
latest example of the manner in which the
government. operating through the N.R.A.,
is robbing the workers of their elementary
rights The workers in sixteen Manhattan restau-
rants. organized in the cafeteria branch OF the
Food Workers Industrial Union, went out on strike
after the agreement violated and tWenty-one
union members were fired for belonging to the
union
Immediately the government sprang into action
to break the strike. One hundred were arrested,
charged With violating injunction over two years
old secured from Supreme Court Justice Peter
schmuck against the Amslgsmated Food Workers
Union.
President Roosevelt has told the workers that
Section seven-A of the N.RA. gives them the right
to organize and to bargain collectively. The food
workers of New York can see what the NrRA
means Under the N.R.A- the employers are firing
workers wholesale for belonging to the unions. As
in the textile, steel, auto and other industries
50 in the food industry, union smashing, discrimi-
nation and company unions have hourished. The
NRA, the machinery of the employers, takes from
the workers their elementary rights.
The Sherman and other cafeteria owners are
backed by the whole machinery of the government
the police to arrest pckets; they backed by the
courts which granted the injunction A two-year-
old Injunction, granted two years ago against
different union is now revived under the MIRA.
to smash the union and break the strike.
The New Deal" is again revealed for what it is
"a deal to the workers of arrests union smashing,
discrimination and blacklist. The MA. boards
are carrying through the drive of the employers to
cut wages and lower the workers living standards
They are carrying through the union smashing
campaign under the slogan of industrial truce"
The Communist Party is the only party in the
present election campaign which takes cear-cut
stand against the ant-labor injunction. The Com
munist Party is the only party which has fought
tooth and nail against all strikebreaking govern
ment iniunctions. It has called on the workers to
defy all anti-lahor injunctions and carry on mass
picketing.
The Democratic New Deal Party and the Re-
publican Party alike, through their judges and
courts and police, issue injunctions against the
workers evicting them from their homes and pre-
venting picketing.
In the present election campaign the workers
should cast their vote against the anti-labor in
Junction for the right to organize and strike and
picket for all the elementary rights of the workers
The workers should vote Communist in order to
strike blow against such injunctions as the one
issued in the present cafeteria strike.
A Communist vote and the building of the Com
munist Party is the answer to the whole attack Of
workers living standards.

A Pact Against the USSR

DEFINITE news of war alliance be-
u tween Japan and Fascist Germany has
just been published by the Laborite Daily
Herald of London Japanese imperialism
has been particularly active recently boil
stering UP its war alliances for an attack the
Soviet Union. Not only have the japanese war
lords made definite war arrangements with the
Fascist butchers of Germany, but they have
ceivad great encouragement from British imperial
ism. Lord Barnby recently headed trade mis-
sion" to Japan and Manchukuo and told the Jap
anese press that Britain looked forward to the
closest chains of friendship" with Japan.
The Fascist commercial" treaty is an open
war move. 1t provides that the Hitler government
will supply Japan not only with chemicals (the only
chemicals needed now by Japan are poison gas, ex-
plosives, and such other materialsl, but will
send to Japan 500 German engineers and avators
: to stay for one, year.
BY this MEANS Fascist Germany and the mil
itarist ruling clique in Japan already open up the
campaign OF slaughter the attempted destruction
OF the Soviet Union Hitler lis speeding his war
preparations in the West; Japan in the East. Now
they both openly collaborate in getting their war
machines ready for the bloody attack
PERTAIN leading sections of American capitalism
have not been reniss in their assistance to these
war plans. j. P Morgan has aided the japanese
fnanciers prepare for this war. The dupont in
terests have supplied Japan with plants for
featuring explosives. General Motors holds
specially privileged position in Japan supplying
tors tanks and trucks for the oncoming of
japanese imperialism against the workers father
land s -,-
As the conflicts between the imperia1ist robber
powers grow. more tense, they do everything they
to direct the fire against the workers father
land. Japan and Germany are in the lead in the
preparations; with British Imperialism seeking
with might and main to knit all the imperialist
threads into a mighty rope with which they hope
to strange the workers fatherland
The danger grows greater every day Because
there have been no recent incidents" should
rot be lulled into state of security. Not for
moment does the Hitler gang nor the japanese i'm
psrGlists forget their plans their yearning for
to destroy the victorious proletarian revolution

BY R. F. ANDREWS

A NEW and deathless page has
n been written in the history of the
international workers struggle for
power. The revolt of the Spanish
workers during the last week has
brought them into the front ranks
of the workers OF the world
The full story of the gallant min
ers of Asturias, the shipyard work
ers of Barcelona, the textile workers
of Sabadell, the municipal en-
ployees at San Sebastian, who at
tackled the heavily armed police
and troops, themselves equipped
only with pistols, carbines, and
few machine-guns, has yet to be
told.
But it is clear already that their
courage has been second to none,
and that the wives and even chill
dren Of the workers have fought
bravely by their side, as they al
ways will.

which was responsible for the at
tempt of the Catalan Nationalist
to set up an independent govern
ment at Barcelona-for continuing
the fight after the Nationalist had
surrendered, and even for continue
ing the strike in Catalonia after
the treacherous Anarchist leaders
had called it off.
The revolt in Spain carries the
workers international struggle
against Fascism stage higher
than the Austrian fighting in
February, The fact that the gen.
eral strike was launched as the
direct reply to the formation of
a Fascist government, instead of
after months of encroachment on
the workers rights, is one sign of
that. The fact that the Socialist
workers had forced their leaders
into preparing for the general
strike. and that it was called from

New Member Writes on the Inn
portance of Carrying Out
Assignments
Lam a new member in the Party.
I joined about eight months ago. l
want to emphasize a point which
some of our comrades don't take
seriously, namely assignments.
Some of our. comrades take as
slgnments with no intention of
carrying them out, and In many
cases they are comrades who have
been in the Party many years.
Here is what happened in nv
unit. AT our last meeting, we de-
cided to distribute about 400 Daily
Workers, with a leaf1et inside the
paper. Two comrades were as
signed to draw up the leafiet and
insert it in the Daily and Their
take them to the Brighton Center
L and two more comrades were as
signed to distribute the Daily
Workers, at the given point. with
the aid of two additional COM
rades who were promised to us
from Brighton Center. The. dis
tribution was to take place Mon
day, October 9th.
The comrades who were assigned
to draw up the leaf1et had one
weeks time in which to do it
Here is what happened. On Mon
day when. went to the Brighton
Center. one hour before the dis.
tribution to get the Daily, was in
formed that the papers we're there
but no leaf1et. The comrade who
was supposed to write it was there

ing, and he went out to write tn,
leaflet, but didn't come back. ]
waited until 4;:30 and no one
showed up so I thought 1 might
as well do without the leafiet
which we had considered most i'm.
portant in our work, as there wa.
nothing else to do.
So you see, comrades, in this case
just because one comrade didnr
feel like working or had no time
but promised to draw up the leaflet
our work was not done right. II
this ccmrade had said that h,
couldn't do it, we would have found
someone else.
So you see. comrades. we have t,
take our work seriously If we want
to lead the workers in their dali,
struggles and finally in the revolu.
ton.
The comrades should take theil
assignments seriously and carr,
them out.
