out; and not until 1913, according to the testi-
mony of Chief Radio Operator Rogers, was an
SOS sent out. 2 hours and Al minutes after the
fire started.
a. Every life on board could have been saved
were 1t not for the efforts of Warns, acting cap
tain, to follow company instructions to save
salvage costs.
Even when 1874 people had been murdered due
to these criminal deeds, Warns would not accept
a tow line from the Coast Guard cutter, Tampa !"
until he was told it wouldn't cost the company
anything We quote his own words. as testified 10
Rogers, radio operator When the Tampa" crew
said the towing would be free, Warns said:
o. X. fellows. You heard that. You heard
them say it won't cost anything. The ship Is
is in peril and it won't cost us anything for
salvage. Sometimes they forget their offer later
you know 50 remember what they just said"
Warns here is speaking the language Of his
capitalist masters; the language Of capitalist,
sordid greed that destroys lives especially lives
Of workers in order to make profits.
Yet they try to blame Communists for this
criminal deed. In the Soviet Union where the
Communist Party led the workers and farmers
to victorious revolution, the watchword is the
construction Of new life. Of new, classics
society There when the "Chelyuskin" sank with
104 on board, the whole country was modified
for the rescue. And 1OS lives were saved
Not one speck not scintilla. Of evidence was
ever brought out that Communists set fire to the
Moro Castle. All of these charges were DELHI
erstely framed by the Ward officials with the
help of government agents. That they failed
miserably to cast the blame on Communists will
not stop them
Every worker should be warned against the real
reason for these attempts to blame Reds Com
munistS for these criminal deeds of the EMPLOYERS
the capitalists.
They want to destroy the Communist Party
In this period Of mass strike struggles in this
period of growing economic crisis, when the Roose-
welt government is preparing for war, the en-
ployers and their government are using more and
more fascist methods against the workers They
slaughter textile workers and other strikers for
the crime Of demanding and fighting for a little
more bread for their families
They know that the Communist Party is the
most militant, stalwart, the most experienced
fighter in the interest of the workers They feel
the sooner they can destroy the Communist Party
the easier will it be for them to carry forward their
hunger, and fascist plans.
The Moro Castle Red frame-up is warning
and threat to every worker
Though they have failed thus far in their
frame-up, every worker must be alarmed about the
danger of the growing Fascist attacks We must
unite in our struggle for the defense of every work.
ers organization. Socialists Communists, A. F.
Of l.. members all workers. regardless of political
or religious beliefs, should mobilize their forces
in one united front against these growing fascist
threats.
Protest against these frame-ups. Fight against
Fascist terror and incendisry plots Defend the
Communist Party the revolutionary leader of the
workingclass. Defend the most elementary rights
of every workers organization.
Join the Communist Party!
