In special edition of Izvestia,

UNITED FRONT
is EXPLAINED
.BYHATHAWAY
1000 Hear Editor of
Daily Worker on Prob
lem of Unity

NEW YORK.-More than 1000
workers, including many Socialist
Party members. filled Irving Plaza
Hall to hear Clarence Hathaway,
editor of the Daily Worker, discuss
the united front and the recent &C
ton of the Socialist Party Executive
Committee defering joint action dis
cussion until 1886.
There is no one question that is
so vital for the working class move
ment as a whole as the welding to-
gether of the common front of the
workers in the fight against capital
ist reaction in all its phases" Hath
away declared.
For that reason" Hathaway con-
tinued, the Communist speakers,
the Communist press, the Commu-
mist Party as a whole, is today de-
voting maximum attention to this
problem of the united front in an
effort to make impossible in this
country the things that happened
in other countries because of the
division in the ranks of the working
class, division for which the Com
munist Party has never at any time
been responsible"
Commenting on the action of the
Socialist Party executive commit
tee decision, Hathaway stat d.:
Some comrades have gathered
from this that this settles the issue
of the united front for two years,
and that all we have to do now is
to fold our arms and wait for the
S. P. national convention to take
place in 1886. This, however, is
hardly the case" Hathaway de-
clared.
Hathaway then proceeded to show
that the movement for joint action
of Socialist and Communist workers
had already before the s.. P. Exec
utive Committee decision taken
many steps toward the united front,
and that even now local S. P. groups
were acting all over the country for
unity, citing especially the a,Lion of
the five southern states, and the
action in New England.
He concluded by showing that
the need for joint action is greater
today than ever with the Roose-
welt New Deal tending more and
more toward fascism and war.
In the discussion and question
period that followed, Hathaway
took up in detail the charges that
the Communist Party is ''insincere"
in its united front proposals, and
showed how and why such accusa-
tons are made to block unity.
The assembled workers unani-
mously adopted a resolution to be
sent to Joseph Stain at Moscow
on the murder of Kirov by coun-
er-revolutionary assassin. The re-
solution follows:
Thousand workers assembled
mass meeting New York December
six express deep sorrow death
comrade Kirov best leader Com
munist Party Soviet Union colleague
Lenin Stain died at hands of
agents enemies proletarian dicta-
torship Pledge strength energies

ton which Kirov gave life pledge

SALES TAX
BILL TO ROB
Ohio WORKERS
Utilities and Income Tax
Stalled by Committee
To Aid Monopolists

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. IA three
per cent sales tax was passed by the
State Assembly today, the House
concurring with the Senate in ex-
empting fluid milk, bread and news
papers. The tax is to go into effect
on Jan. /, 1885, and only awaits the
signature of Governor White.
The tax will yield between $780,
100000 and $80,000,0O0, robbing the
working masses of vital necessities.
Although the governor promised to
veto the bill unless an income tax
bill was also enacted, this was only
maneuver intended to smooth the
way for the passagle of the sales tax.
Indicative of the real policy of
the monopolies is the reenactment
of the liquid tax bill, another mass
consumption tax. But the income
tax bill was defeated and the util-
tiles tax bill was stalled in a COM
mittee.
The class character of the sales
tax is revealed by the callous re-
fuSal to consider the relief needs
of the unemployed. Only 40 per
cent of the sales tax revenue is to
go to local governments despite the
increasing need for Winter relief.
Since police funds and similar ex-
penditures will come out of these
local funds, comparatively little will
be left for the unemployed.
The Communist Party is answer
ing this attack against the living
standards of the workers by initiat-
ing struggles involving the widest
section of the workers, middle class
employees and small merchants,
against the sales tax. A real peo-
Piles movement must be started, the
Party declares, against this robbery
of the masses.
The Communist Party appeals to
all its sections in Ohio to organize
united front conferences, wherever
feasible, to carry forward the fight
against the sales tax. 1t has issued
the slogans Don't pay the sales tax;
Against starvation by taxation; Tax
the rich to feed the poor.
