ton campaign. The union appeal
states:
t'FeIlow workers: A few short
weeks remain before the elections.
y The politicians of the capitalist
=, parties have come around, as usual,
ia with their golden promises. In ex-
-e- change for your votes, they are will

is nothing new in that. Did not
e. Roosevelt talk about the forgot

~ guarantee that no one would go
hungry, and that the workers would
s"~~be established in their right of col
M ;lective bargaining and Of belonging

h-, still $4,000, 900 Jobless
But what do we see? There are
still 100000 unemployed forgot
~ ten" workers; and the manner in
which Roosevelt has redeemed his
y promise about the right to strike
and to unionise can be judged from
~ the experiences in Toledo, Minnea-
polls, the San Francisco strike, and
2Sb the recent textile strike.
= Never before in the history of

l"'"quent use made of militia. Of gun
men, sluggers and vigilante gangs
. to break strikes, murder strikers,
and to force company unions on the
workers as now under the new
- deal. It is high time that workers
Turn in contempt from the honey
voiced politicians.
MisIeaders Favor Tammany
Those in control Of the Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor adhere TO
their outworn policy of rewarding
the friendly and Furnishing the
:. 'unfriendly' politicians. 1t is re-
5.a,, markable, however, that the friend
ly' ones always happen to be on
the Tammany Hall ticket. The la
Dor takers are trying to talk it into
you that the same people who send
police and the militia with bayonets
and poison gas against you when
49,. or. strike, who, issue injunctions
against you ond send you to Jail
are your friends and deserve your
- vote
s.ziol.zeNo, fellow workers! Do not listen
-f"'to those that ask you to vote for
. candidates Of the capitalist parties
They are not your friends They
II serve the interests of the wealthy
~1<7not the interests of the workers.

70 dining election time that through
o. out the year the Socialist Party
So leaders are supporting such out
o. standing betrayers of the workers
,.r.sgas German Green and zausner.
-g7 AND in the needle trades these lead
ers have been lined up with the
~ Dubinskys and Hillnans who en-
~ bFaced the slave driving N.RA and
r,.e ats chief strike breaker General
Johnson. The same Socialist Party
leaders consistently worked against
the. fur workers in their struggle
for better conditions and real
:. union.
90 There is only one political party
whose program furthers the inter
.,w ests Of the workers and the broad
q masses of the people, and that is
/: the Communist Party The Com
~ fnunist Party fights for old age pen
sions and genuine unemployment
r. Insurance, for the right of workers
- Ito organize and strike. The Com
111nist Party fights against boss
- terrorism. 1t leads in the battle
- against war and fascism That is
- why the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union appeals to all needle
trades workers to elect the working
- class candidates on the Communist
ticket. The candidates of the Com
munist Party have long records of
militant activity in the interests of
the working masses. They can be
relied upon to work with might and
81. main to make their program effec-
- tive.
- Cite Records of c. p
Can there be the slightest COM
parison between Israel Amter, the
!, standard bearer of the Communist
.ia Party and any other candidates?
Back in 1890, Amter, together with
- Minor. Foster, and Raymond led
the masses of unemployed workers
for relief The Tsmmany police
F. brutally broke up the demonstra-
ton, beat the workers and sent
Ar1ter and many others to prison
But the moment he finished his
F. : prison term, he was right back in
&. the ranks, leading the fight for
relief and for unemployment in
surance
1--WE will mention only few
. = other candidates, all workers from
the needle trades, all well known to
:. you, needle trades workers. because
!. they have been in the forefront of
. every battle that concerned your
!. = interests. There is Rose Wortis Ben
Gold, Isidor Weissberg, and Do
I1linick F1aiani.
Gold, Wortis Praised
eve do not have to tell you,
needle trades workers, who Ben
Gold and Rose Wortis are or how
y many years of their life they have
!. given to the cause of the workers.
I. Can you seek for better, more de-
+ Voted or mere vigorous fighters for
your interests? It is surely no ac-
(, cident that the Communist Party
has selected workers like Rose
Wortis, Ben Gold and the others
