Unity Needed to Win Demands

Unity Needed to Win Demands
The Communist Party, in putting forward these
demands calls upon the millions of workers and
farmers, Negro and white, and particularly upon
those workers who until now have followed the
ms-leadership Of the Socialist Party and strike
breaking officials Of the A F. Of L., to unite their
forces in a determined fight for these demands.
Particularly in every struggle for the most modest
demands the workers meet the stubborn resistance
of the capitalists who always supported by the
armed power of the state This united front of the
bosses, their government and the strkebreakng A.
F. of L. officials only be defeated through the
united actions of the workers and all their organ
izatons. The above immediate demands of the
Communist Party serve the basis for this
united action of all workers and farmers who are
being oppressed and starved by the rule of monopoly
capitalism. Only united strugge-protest
tons, demonstrations, strikes political strikes-can
block the capitalists attacks and bring victory to
the workers and poor farmers.
The Communist Party urges you to energetically
support and elect Communist congressional can
didates. In Congress they will lead the fight for
the above demands and for all the needs and in
terests Of the toling population Outside of
gress they will directly aid in building the work
ers organizations and in leading the struggles of
the toilers for improved conditions, against fas-
cism and against imperialist
Spokesman of the other parties will promise every
thing, before elections, but after getting into office
they will vigorously oppose the basic demands Of
the toers; they will join in authorizing the beat
ing casing and shooting of workers who fight for
these demands; they will faithfully carry out the
dictates Of the Wall Street bankers and the heads
Of the big trusts who completely dominate both
the national and state administrations
Roosevelt and the Democratic Party took office
to the tune of New Deal" for the forgotten
man." but their record in office already gives the
lie to their promises. The conditions of the mass
of workers. the poor farmers the Negro people and
the lower middle cass-Roosevelt's forgotten men,
are worse today than when Roosevelt took office.
This fact confirmed by the investigation and
report of the Darrow Review Board. The New
Deal' has benefited only the nations richest men,
the heads of the big banks and trusts, by png in
creased burdens the backs of the great majority
Of the population. Side by side with this have
gone growing restrictions the rights of the masses
and the letting loose of the most brutal drive of
terror and persecution in the nations history
against the workers, the farmers and the Negro
people. Consider the outright murders of workers
deportation drives, strkebreaking, under the New
Deal-Brmngham Toledo Minneapolis, San
Pedro, Cleveland and San Francisco. Thus the
Roosevelt government stands exposed on the side
OF the capitalists the open shoppers, the company
unions, against strikes, for the suppression of the
workers and their organizations The Communist
Party has been singled out particularly for attack
because it is the organizer and fighter for the most
elementary rights and needs of the workers. Club
bing casing and killing workers base become a
weekly occurrence under the present Democratic
Party regime. These are Roosevelt's deeds for the
forgotten man."
