Hearst for Low Paw

THE snti-labOr purpose of the fascist
Hearst campaign against the Commu-
nists is revealed in an editorial on page
two of Hearst's New York American (Feb
12), which praises Roosevelt's proposal to
pay low wages on work relief.
This editorial, entitled, Roosevelt Is
Right" demands that Roosevelt's works
bill be passed by the Senate with the
Roosevelt proposal of an average wage of
$50 month intact.
To Hearst, the fascist, Americanism
means low wages, relief cuts and enslave-
ment of labor under the heel of the open
and violent fascist dictatorship of the
employers.
IF the country, with it's strained re-
sources, its hesitating business, the near
approach of taxpayers to exhaustion, is
still able to provide SUSTENANCE AND
WORK FOR THE UNEMPLOYED" says
this scabby editorial cit is great thing
for which all should be thankful. q. T.. Re-
viving industry must not be forced into an
unequal competition against the slack and
careless use of public money on projects
of doubtful utility and on made work of
temporary duration"
The colossal and increased profits of
the employers under n. R. A. have not
satisfied the Hitherto Hearst, with his
profits of eighty million dollars in one
year.
The workers will not be taken in by
Hearst's flag waving which drapes his
propaganda for attacks on labor.

Soldier Urges Party Work

Comrade Editor,
In the Daily Worker of February
8, 1885, a National Guard comrade
ventured the assertion that there
were possibly Communist sympathi-
zers in the Regular Army. He is
right-there are.
However, the Regular Army COM
rades are in very difficult situation.

tiers of population, this in order that

words remain as ignorant as ever.
Second, it is impossible for soldier
to carry literature of any sort into
an Army post and have it remain
concealed for any length of time;
inspections, during which all SOL
diers' personal belongings are paved
over by young snobs, do not con-
duce to secrecy. Third, a soldier

Advice to Those Who

by Burck

New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
The letters from our readers
moved from the inside to the back
page is a good eye-catcher on sub
ways. Redfield's The Ruling
Claws" is swell.
All these things that tend to
draw the as yet uninterested masses
to read our paper should be watched
and emphasized. I have seen the
suggestion that the headlines be
worded to catch the outsiders in
terest; also that we have more
secondary news" and so on.
These comrades VINO ask for more
are right. But it is also very hard
fact that so long as many of them
buy one Times and one Daily in
stead of two Daily Workers, they
are not giving all they can to make
that more possible. Capitalist pa
pers can always be picked up some
where, somehow, even if they can't
be found the first thing in the
morning.

ters, elevator boys, your fellow

A Labor Party and Thomas

DOTH Norman Thomas and Clarence
~ Senior of the Socialist Party refused to
appear before Congress to argue for the
Workers Bill H. R. 1927.
Thomas did not even answer the invi-
tation Of the House Committee inviting
him to testify for this bill which expresses
the most crying need of the American
working class at the present momentum
employment and social insurance to be
paid for by the Federal government and
the employers.
Now Norman Thomas has declared
himself in favor of Labor Party. He has
even criticized the Waldmans and the
Oneals for their too-eager willingness to
base such Labor Party openly on Will
liam Green and John L. Lewis.
And yet here we have Norman Thomas
actually sabotaging the fight for the
Workers Bill, which surely would have to
be one of the main planks of true mass
Labor Party!
How can Thomas be working for a
working class Labor Party when he side
steps the fight for exactly the demands
that such Labor Party would fight for?
What kind Of Labor Party can he be
thinking of when he shows by his actions
that he does not think the fight for the
Workers Bill H. R. 1927, would have to
be part Of its program?

upon whether the nation is under
martial law or not.
These conditions prohibit the
Regular Army comrades from
spreading much literature except in
very safe places: their work is much
more subtle for it is not one bit of
use going to Leavenworth or Alca-
traz for forty years or so.
On the other hand, comrades in
the National Guard overlook many
opportunities. Here the fellow sol
diers are also fellow workers out
side of the arnories; many of them
are union members, members of the
same fraternal organizations, ETC.
All members of the N. G. are
workers or are unemployed In
either case they are excellent mate
rial for Party members and SYM
pathizers to contact. They can be
interested in literature, they can
be taken to meetings. Last, but not
least, National Guardsmen should
fight against the name of strike
breaker; any worker understands
its implications If this was clearly
brought home to the men. I am sure
