Fight" for five cents at all
Workers Bookshops.
With the great uprisings
against the Hitler government
with the rise of Fascism in other
countries, and with the develop.
ment of Fascist movements and
tactics in the United States, this
special issue of Fight, devoted to
Fascism is of great interest to all
workers.
Fight is the official organ of
the American League Against
War and Fascism. Its authors
are among the foremost workers
and intellectuals of the world;
and its short, well written aTti-
cles are given added life by some
of the best illustrations that can
be found in any radical maya
zine in America.
/ 5000 Concentration Camps
In this special edition of Ease
ism there are IA articles. The
slavery of Nazi concentration
camps is ably told with many
enlightening figures. 5000 such
camps there now are in Ger
many. When fully developed,
they are to care for million
youth, ages II to Is. Since it
costs the Nazis less than 80 cents
a day to get slave labor from
each of these inmates, it is no
wonder that forced labor is be-
coming popular with Hitler.
Women are soon to be includ-
ed among the slaves. The
author of the article makes an
able comparison between the
CCC camps and the German
camps.
Hate Negroes
The relationship betw cen
Fascism and racial hate is well
told. While always anti-prOle-
tartan in its aims, ''Fascism is not
always anti-Semitic. But always
its inflamed nationalist is joined
with race pride. In America
there will probably be COM
paratively little anti-Semitism
and much more violence
against The Negroes.
To Longshoremen
A Boston longs oremaIl
writes ringing appeal to his
fellow worker, showing clearly
that Roosevelt is playing the
same role that Wilson did in 1917
when he had himself reelected
on a kept us out of war" slogan,
knowing that he was q hypoerite
for he had assured foreign mini
sters nearly year before that
the United States would I'M
doubtedly enter the war. De-
claration of war should be fol.
lowed by a general strike. The
Marine Workers are fast awak-
ening to the fact.
Women Under Hitler
All Fascist countries regard
women in the same light as
breeders of men, and that alone.

SHERIFF

And who do the capitalists
propose as their candidate for
sheriff?
Matt Starwich, eX-sheriff and
ex-bOuncer in the Department
of Labor and Industries at
Olympia. whose duties it was
to storing arm helpless workers
who went to obtain justice from
the department. Starwich relies
on support from the under
world elements to carry out the
bosses rule of force.
w. B. Brinton. another
aspirant for sheriff, is the
county commissioner whose
record is at least muddied by
the indictment of using county
materials from HarbOrView
Hospital to build his home in
West Seattle and tampering
with county records.
o. X. Bodia, also candidate
for sheriff, is a petty political
racketeer beginning his climb
to success. He is a Vigilante
and was one of the star wit
nesses in the Frandsen case.
W. B. Severyns. another can
didate for sheriff was chief of
police during the administra-
ton of Edwin J. Brown which
was notorious for its graft in
connection with the liquor
traffic.

1894. Five cents.
There may be some workers
who think that we haven't given
the kids as much of a break
as We should. Maybe they're
right. so today we are review
ing the New Pioneer, maya
zine for the boys and girls Of
the workers; but the parents
could get lot of good out of
reading its pages, too.
Short stories, travel stories,
sketches of history that all
children should know, stories of
working class heroes, poetry,
humOr, an occasional bit of
drama or music, cartoons, stories
of science-it's all there in the
New Pioneer. In the last issue
we have the life story of Thael-
mann, the true story of the
American Revolutionary War,
one of the best pieces of child
ren's story writing this writer
has seen in years-"YOung Pho
neers in China, etc, etc.
Or, if you are interested in
poetry-and | surely am, you
will have right to be amazed
at some of the really beauti-
full verse-mOving verse-that
you will find here, written by
kids from ten to fourteen years
of age. How is this for a thir-

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
Emmett G.. Lenihan, now
chief deputy prosecutor, is run
ming for prosecuting attorney.
Lenihan was in charge of prose-
cutting the Frandsen case. He
was largely responsible for lOdg-
ing two felony charges and one
misdemeanOr charge against
each of sixteen men. He prose-
cuted the case viciOusly with
no concern for facts and showed
clearly his opposition to the
working class. His final argu-
ment was full of 100 per cent
Americanism-the Americanism
that is always on the side of
the bosses. No need to predict
the treatment workers struggl-
4 ing under increasing oppression
and Fascism would receive from
Lenihan-a more than potential
Fascist.

suit of nationwide survey by

And has the New Deal done
anything to alleviate this situa-

not been shrinking. Lights and
water of the unemployed are
still being shut off. Farmers
and workers in the rural dis
tricts are less able than ever
to have modern plumbing. In
fact the writer knows of sew
eral cases where the plumbing
that workers have once been
able to afford has had to be
abandoned and the old back
house resOrted to again be-
cause they could not keep up
their water bill.
The fight against shutting
off of water and light must
gain in velocity. We mustn't
be content even to see that no
more lights and water are shut
off, we must fight to have
those restored that have been
turned off during the depres-
sion. But the final problem
of homes for the workers can
be solved only when the work
ers have taken power and the

to those who produce.
