From Shooting Down Workers Licking HiIers Boots

bullets of Zorgebiel on May Day,
1929, to the bootlicking, the obscene
singing of the Nazi Horst Vessel
song on May Da, 1893. That is how
the Socialist Party leaders of
Germany served the capitalist class
of Germany.
EASCISM in Germany has ruled
for one year. Its rule has been
stained with the blood of thousands
of the best sons of the German
workingclass. 1t has torn into the
ranks Of the German revolutionary
working class with a Savagery, a
cruel. sadistic torture, that have
few parallels in all history. Through
the Fascist dictatorship in Ger
many the employers, the big own
erS of monopoly industry, the mil
lionaires, like Thyssen, Siemens,
etc. now rule by open violence.
Fascism is the military rule, the
openly reactionary, rule by means
Of the prison camp and the bay
onet, in the interests of the big
capitalist monopolists. In Germany
Hitler is the servant of the big iron
and steel, coal and munitions own
ers. In the United States Fascism
would be the open military police.
gang rule of Wall Street, the Nor
cams, the Rockefellers, the MELONS
and the DuPonts.
Hitler promised the German
masses that he would end the curse
of unemployment. He promised the
ruined peasants that he would re-
lieve the yoke of debt and landlord
slavery. He promised the petty
bourgeois of the cities an end of the
economic crisis. He promised the
youth of Germany an end Of the
stagnation and hopelessness of their
position.
Fascism promised the German
people an end to the yoke of the
Versailles treaty by which imperial
ism of the Allied powers drains
millions from the toiling German
masses in bond payments and in
IDENTITIES.
Fascism promised a national
Socialist revolution" against the
international bankers" and the
Capitalists
Broken Promises.
But what has one year of Fas-
cism brought the German working
class, the ruined petty bourgeois
and the impoverished small peas
ants in the countryside? Has Fas-
cisn accomplished real "revolu-
ton? Has Fascism made life bet
ter for the masses?
Fascism has brought new miser-
les to the German masses. 1t has
only brought benefits to a handful
of the population, to the big manu-
facturers. to the big Prussian land
lord Junker5, to the rich farmers,
and to a swarm of Nazi careerists
and militarists.
Fascism has not been able to
solve the economic crisis. 1t has
made it wo,se.
Hitler promised work and jobs.
Instead he has herded the young
workers into forced labor camps.

Boss Press Screams for Workers Blood

NEW YORK. - As the bosses
quaked on May Day, before the
modified might of the working
class demonstrating throughout the
entire world against Hunger, Fas-
cism and War, their police watch
dogs and prostitute press engaged
in the most open and vicious provo
cations against the working class.
The reptile press attempted to
hide the sinister purpose of the
huge mobilization of armed forces
by city and state governments
against the toilers by brazen dis
tortions of the aims Of the demon
strators, by weird stories Of bomb
ing plots, etc In this way, they
set out to build up justification,

DEMO CRATIC VESSEL

Fascism polarises the class forces
within a given country and i'm
measurably aggravates the class ten
sions. Fascist violence not only
delivers blows against the working
class, but by its very use Of I'M
bridled, savage violence against the
Masses, teaches the masses the
necessity for class violence in the
struggle for the smashing Of the
capitalist rule, and thus speeds the
process Of the education Of the So
cialist workers toward the road of
armed struggle for Soviet power.
Above all, Fascism speeds the des-
truction of the capitalist dictator
ship by sharpening all internal
and external antagonisms to the
breaking point, narrows the mass
basis Of the bourgeois dictatorship
through its widening Of the gulf
between the needs of the masses
and the ruling class character of
the State to an extraordinary de-
gree, revealing the state more and
more as the tool Of the most ruth
less monopoly eXploiters.
Fascism, therefore, "st once,
binders and accelerates the forces
of the prolctarian revolution"
THE failure Of the Fascist terror
l ism to stem the rising tides of
proletarian revolution in Germany IS
expressed in the utter failure of
the fascists to destroy the heroic
German Communist Party. which
has gone through the ordeal Of the
most raging Fascist brutality and
emerged, despite heavy Losses, with
its ranks intact, standing at the
head of the whole anti-fascist move
ment in Germany.
The German Communist Party,
moulded under the Bolshevik lead
ership Of Ernst Thaelmann, has
maintained its roots deep among
the masses, and no fury of Nazi
terrorism has been able to break
them. Under the very noses of
the Nazis, the illegal Communist
paper. Rote Fahne, is printed
With extraordinary ingenuity. the
factories are flooded with Commu-
mist leaflets. Nothing daunts the
German Communists. Thousands
of Thaelmanns and Dimitroffs defy
and outwit the Fascist police every
day in Germany, organizing the
masses for struggle against Fascism.
The revolutionary crisis which
steadily seizes the whole capitalist
world, grows in Germany. 1t is
not period of prolonged Fascist
reaction that the masses face. 1t
is a period Of approaching revolu-
tionary storm.
Today, on May Day. great day Of
international solidarity, the huge
tocsin Of world revolution against
the hideous oppression Of capital
ism is sounded throughout the
world.
In the ears of the Fascist blood
hounds, agents Of the capitalist ex-
ploiters. sounds the rising roar Of
the world proletariat-toward Soviet
Power! And in the very frenzy of
their savagery the Fascists know
that they will not be able to escape
their historic doom.

Must Accomplish Unity
Despite Tactics of
Socialist Leaders
By L. BARNES

MILWAUKEE-On April II about
5000 workers came to the Court
House, less than half of them
marched down Wisconsin Ave. and
met others at the City Hall, under
the leadership of the Socialist con-
trolled Workers Committee on IN
employment. Shortly after the c.
w. A. came to an end, the Workers
Committee had called a demonStra-
ton. Rank and file members sug-
gested that the Unemployment
Council also participate. But when
the Unemployment Council issued
a leaflet calling on workers to join
the demonstration, the leaders of
the Socialist Party called it off.
This time, without consulting the
County Committee Of the Workers
Committee On unemployment. the
Socialist Party decided on the dem
onstration and went ahead with
plans. The fact that 5000 workers
participated is an indication of
their readiness to struggle, of their
indignation over the ending of the
G. W. A., and their inspiration from
the splendid example of the Min
r1eapolis workers.
Raise No Local Demands
One of the Socialist leaders gave
as reason for calling the demon
stration that if they didn't the
reds" would. The demands raised,
and the statement of the resolution
presented to the County and City,
that the local governments we're
broke, shows that the Socialist lead
ers wanted to mobilize the workers
merely to demand the enactment of
the La Toilette bill for ten billion
dollars for relief work, and special
session of the legislature in Madison
% send money to Milwaukee.
The speakers at the demonstra-
ion were Karl Minkley, Al. Benson.
md Mayor Hoan. At the Court
House Benson and Minkley said
Iothing about some of the demands
hat we're raised on signs, such as
Cash Relief or Unemployment In
urance. They talked about the
necessity of voting for Al Benson
md other Socialists. Mr.. Benson
old in glowing terms what they
would do when they arrived at the
City Hall. And at the City Hall
Mayor Hoan told the workers what
hey ought to demand from the
County government, and what they
would do in Madison and Washing
ION.
The committee to present demands
was not elected. The demands were
not voted on by the workers. What
we're the demands? A special session
of the legislature in Madison, and
ten billion dollars appropriation
from Congress for a works program.
Not one concrete immediate demand.
Not one thing that could be acted
on here where the workers we're as
sembled.
Hoan ISLANDERS Minneapolis Workers
Mr.. Hoan in his speech, SLAM
iered the workers of Minneapolis by
stating that violent demonstrations
we're all wrong. He praised the
workers here for their peacefulness.
But in Minneapolis the police at
tackled the demonstration because
The bosses knew that the workers,
under the militant leadership Of the
Communist Party would demand
something.

Milwaukee demonstration and the

Instead he has spread work" by
dividing whatever jobs there we're
among a greater number of workers
thus reducing the wages of the
whole German working class to a
level which even a liberal English
paper like the Manchester Guardian
describes las the lowest in fifty
years
Hunger Grows
Fascism in one year has driven
the living standards of the masses
to terrible levels of deprivation and
hunger. Prices of necessities have
risen. Hitler sets up light tariffs
on agricultural and dairy goods so
that the big dairy producers in Ger
many can charge the German
masses higher prices for butter and
milk. The workers in the cities as
we'll as the small farmers are being
crushed under the weight Of these
rising prices f food deliberately
forced up by the fascist government
to protect the profits of the biggest
Prussian landlords, and the rich
peasants.
Not only are wages cut, but the
fascists have robbed the German
workers of millions of dollars
through the voluntary donations
to the relief work funds which
the Nazi Storm Troopers collect in
the factories.
More Joblesss
Unemployment grows In Germany.
The official government statistics
reveal 100000 more jobless than last
year. In many cases the govern
ment figures are full of lies hiding
the steady growth of unemployment
even in the face OF the spreading
of the available work among more
workers. One government report
shows discrepancy Of more than
100000 men in the number of en-
ployed, so desperate has the twisting

By a Worker Correspondent

PITTSBURG, Kan.-The Work
ers and Farmers League, recently
organized here, and numbering
more than 500 workers and farm
ers in Crawford County, marched
on the federal airport project on
April 10, demanding that the steam
shovel there be replaced by man
ual workers. This demand was
granted, but all federal works we're
closed for ten days.
While the relief heads were at
tempting to settle differences with
the Pittsburg Midway Coal Co., who
own the steam shovel, they prom
ised the workers that if the use Of
the shovel was permitted, 400 work.
ers would go back to work.
When work was resumed, 40 men
were hired, making a total of 1913
men in the county, leaving 6,167 by
official figures, without work.
On the morning of April a. the
workers modified at the airport,
and by effective plcketlng, stopped
all work on the steam shovel. No
trucks we're permitted to enter the
airport and the drivers joined the
pickets.
BY this time the workers voted to
march on the relief headquarters
and demand shoes and clothing for
a worker who was forced to march
barefoot.
When the elected committee Of
the workers entered the Red Cross
Federal Relief Headquarters, Beas-
ley, relief commissioner, grabbed a
tear gas gun and fired into the
midst of the workers. In the strug-
gle that followed, Beasley was
knocked unconscious.

Two Strikes
Continue in
Camden, NJ.
Shipyard Strike Is
Holding Up New Deal
War Preparations

CAMDEN, N. j., May 1.-The
Campbell Soup strikers have turned
down an increase Of two and half
cents an hour offered by Arthur c.
Dorrance, president Of the company.
and are holding to their original
demands Of a 40 per cent increase
over the present rates. which would
bring them up to the 1929 level
Dorrance increased his offer from
7 per cent to 10 per cent. when
threats Of injection Of the National
Labor Board into the matter, and
the intermittent continuation Of the
company's demand for an anti
picketing injunction failed to have
any effect on the group of militant
strikers who insisted on mass picket
ing and rank and file action in the
strike. The press reports that both
sides are now in a deadlock, which
means that new means Of smashing
the strike are being Matched.
Shipyard Men See President
The New York Shipbuilding Com
pany strikers are now waiting word
from President Roosevelt on the dis
position Of their demands for union
recognition and wage increases. The
President stepped into the picture
when other mediators failed to
smash the strike because the COM
pany is working on S52.000.00
contract with the Navy for new
battleships, in the governments
break-neck race to prepare for war.
Held Up War Plans
The strike has held up war prep
arations in this particular respect
for almost six weeks now, and the
President is apparently getting
ready to crack down" Militant
resistance is now more necessary
than ever, but there is great danger
that the Socialist policies of the
strike leaders may entangle the
strike in formal negotiations that
will strange the strike, when all
efforts should be made to solidify
the strikers ranks and prepare them
for real mass action, which in this
case is Of great political significance.
