as it is present in city streets and
cannot be entirely eliminated in

cities for the suppression of unneces-

reducing the uproar.

Unique primrose
Rug to Crochet
By GRANDMOTHER CLARK

This rag rug measures Il lncneS
and requires about three pounds OF
material to finish. II appears TO be
made of six squares each of a differ
ent size, with the horizontal positions
alternating. Work is started with
the center square about 5 inches in
diameter. Triangles are then cro-
cheted on the four sides Of inner
square forming the second square.
Continue same way for third, fourth
and fifth squares. The sixth square
is the same size as fifth square and
therefore requires smaller triangles
on sides than the others. Colors
should be so arranged that center is
in light shades of yellow, while outer
triangles represent the petals Of flow
ers, and may be shaded in color de-
sired. This can be made into a very
attractive and unique rug, depending
very much on the color scheme used.
This is one of the twenty-six GRO
cheted and braided rugs illustrated
with instructions in Grandmother
Clark's rug book No. .. Detailed
instructions are given in this book
for the Primrose" rug, and If you

A War Measure

IT is taking no time at all for Roosevelt's
Il "take-t he-proft-o scheme to
appear in its true colors-as a step toward
further war preparations.
Baruch, who made over fifty millions in
Wall Street specializing in war stocks in
1917, praises the McSwain Bill 'to take
the profits out of war" as being sufficient
to place this country in a position immune
against attacks :. it will greatly increase
our strength for war . - he boasted be-
fore the House Military Committee
Strange and significant praise for an al
legged peace measurer
The whole Roosevelt gush about taking
the profits out of war" turns out to be
exactly the opposite-a scheme to paralyze
all attempts of labor to raise its wages to
keep up with the steep rise in the cost of
living during war days.
Baruch admits this when he says the
McSwain Bill aims to keep prices down to
peace time levels" By prices" he means
mainly wages.
Roosevelt's record war preparations are
today giving Wall Street billions in new
profits. When imperialist war breaks out,
Roosevelt's New Deal will become an open
terrorist machine to protect profits and

The Spirit of Kuibyshev

A MEXICAN workers mourn the loss OF
n the great revolutionary leader, Valer-
ian Kuibyshev, in deep hnship with the
emancipated masses of the Soviet Union.
AS a member of the Political Bureau of
the Communist Party of the Soviet Union,
and as head of the State Planning Com
mission, directing the economic programs
of the first and second Five-Year Plans,
Valerian Kuibyshev clearly showed to
workers in the United States how the
building of Socialism may be reached only
by the road of Soviet power.
Kuibyshev Joined the Bolshevik Party
in its great struggle against Czarism and
capitalism when he was only sixteen years
old. He died Saturday of heart attack,
still young-he was only 46. Every Soviet
worker loved him as the man who knew
the inside of every plant in the Soviet
Union"
The great fighter in the workers cause
is gone. But the Soviet workers have been
keen and eager pupils under the guidance
of such leaders as Kuibyshev. And un-
daunted, more confident than ever in their
own creative ability, they advance further,
day by day, to classless Socialist society.

trolled by the rich, the misery of the job
less and homeless breaks through

desperation and hopelessness, murdered

Sitting comfortably in the White House,
Roosevelt slashes Federal relief, and then
suicide and murder, tragedy and misery,
follow in the poverty-stricken homes of
the masses These tragedies are on his
head.
These horrible penalties which the
masses pay for the capitalist crisis can be
stopped by the passage of the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill CHR. 2827).

ployers must be forced to guarantee a

For an Auto Strike

MANY recent events show the growing
WI sentiment of the auto workers for
strike in the near future. A rank and file
conference of members of A. F. of L. auto
locals was held in Detroit over the week
end to discuss strike preparation against
the growing company union menace.
The sentiment of the auto workers for
strike has forced William Green to an
nounce that the Automobile Workers
Union has withdrawn from the Auto La
Dor Board and from the pact creating the
board, which William Green himself signed
on March 25, 1884.
Green and Dillon, Green's agent in the
auto industry, are now trying to put them
selves at the head of this growing strike
sentiment, in order to behead it. Last
spring Green prevented a strike by sup
porting the setting up of the Auto Labor
Board.
Green signed a pact which egalized
company unions, gave free rein to speed
up, allowed for further wage cuts, and
gave the Auto Labor Board, the tool of
the employers, power to decide the auto
workers fate.
From the very beginning, the strike
preparations must now proceed with all
negotiations, all strike preparations, and
all activities in the hands of the elected
rank and file committees of the locals. This
will prevent Green from repeating his be-
trayal of March 1884

Another Ship Goes Down

THE Mohawk is the third ship owned by
L the Ward line which has been wrecked
at sea within five months. Other Ward
line ships (like the Cauto) have had seri-
Gus accidents at sea.
The steering geer and the telegraph of
the rammed liner Mohawk went haywire"
when the collision with the Talisman took
place, testimony before the U. S. Steam
boat Inspection Service indicated The
sinking of this Ward line ship cost the
lives of thirty-five known dead and ten
missing.
The Ward line is heavily subsidized by
the Roosevelt government It's policy has
been to increase profits by cheap operation
in every respect, including lack of proper
safety measures, union smashing, and low
pay and abominable conditions imposed on
its crews.
In the previous Ward line disaster, to
the MORO Castle, the Ward line tried to
cover up its responsibility for the heavy
loss of life by blaming the crew, and by
raising the cry of "red plot and of "sabo-
tage." The sinister word Sabotage" has
been injected into the present disaster.
Thus are red scares manufactured.
But the record of the Ward line speaks
for itself The steamers Havana, MORO
Castle and now the Mowhak were wrecked,
with many lives of crew and passengers
lost, because of the shipowners greed for
profits.

Healy is continually making the
air putrid with his venomous talks
against the Communists and the

casts, he commented" on the re-
cent executions of the terrorists in
the Soviet Union. He said that the
new Russia, just like the old, is a

The Huey Long Fight

THE march of state troops and the or
ganization of special armed bands by
opposing factions in Huey Longs state
only shows how the crisis is breaking
down all traditional legislative customs
and is giving way to ever-increasing fas-
cist forms of capitalist rule.
More and more capitalist legislatures
are becoming obstacles in the swift execu-
ton of capitalist policy. The whole ma
chinery Of government is becoming cen
tralized and dominated by the direct
agents of the capitalists who rely more
openly on the armed forces.
It should be noted that the cIiques of
Long and his enemies are very anxious to
avoid, as far as possible, placing arms in
the hands of the starving Negro and white
workers and tenant farmers. The armed
bands are under the direct control of the
warning capitalist cliques. These armed
groups, in fact, are a fascist menace
against the toiling population
Both Long and his opponents are trying
to make capital out of the deep discomfort
of the starving workers and pauperized
farmers of Louisiana.
Long quickly reduced the tax on oil
when the Rockefeller monopoly put pres
sure on him. And the Standard Oil tried
to call off the armed workers it had arous-
ed as soon as it got its tax compromise"
Their squabble is over which capitalist
crowd shall get the lions share Of the
spoils, which shall be first in the march
to fascism.

School System Faces
Complete Shut Down
In Albertsville, Ala

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Jan. 81
If Alabama will not provide the
funds, the schools of Alabama will
close rather than go on federal re-
lief rolls, stated S. j. Chandler,
city superintendent of schools of
Albertville, in a letter to the Ala
bama Relief Administration. The
schools will only remain open until
January 81, and will then close their
doors unless the Alabama legislature
provides funds for further opera
ton.
The decision to close the schools
is apparently based upon a deter
mination to maintain "the pride of
Alabama" to the detriment of the
children of the state. For, added
Chandler, I'VE shall insist that our
state take pride in maintaining a
school system for her children. =
The pride of Alabama is thus being
used to widen the already extensive

want to share with the Daily
Worker readers a couple of convinc-
ing proofs of this.
A capitalist reporting agency,
United Business Service of Boston,
in the weekly bulletin of its Inves-
tigation Department for last Oct q
says: ut Is not true that Socialist
economy will not work. 1t is working
now in Russia"
Of course, the bulletin ends up in
f1ag-waving, ISLANDERS against the
below average man, the shiftless
and irresponsible, and the assertion
that "red-blooded ambitious young
men" will prefer opportunity" to
security"
Father Coughlin is orenly allied
with the Committee for the Ma
ton, the infationary band of capt.
talists. On the radio he says Com
munism chains the people to a sys-
tenn of terror, famine and living in
cellars" But behind the scenes,
when talking before select capital
ist groups, his committee pays more
compliments to Karl Marx and
Communism than Norman Thomas
would ever dare do.
Take the speech of Earl Harding
before the Executives Club of Chi
cago, delivered last September IA in
the Louis XVI Room of the Hotel

Chicago Lenin Meeting
Called Disorderly

Chicago, III.
Comrade Editor:
Chicago had a huge meeting at
the Coliseum in memory of Com
rade Lenin. We had trouble in
getting this hall because the Hearst
newspapers we're trying to use their
influence to prevent the renting of
the hall by the Communist Party
Bob Minor was the main speaker.
This meeting was the most dis
orderly meeting that I have ever
seen. Can you imagine a great and
most sincere revolutionary leader
like Comrade Minor having to stop
in the middle Of his speech and
himself call for order? Did anyone
ever see Comrade Minor put on
his workers cap in order to arouse
the working class sentiment for
order and discipline while he was
still speaking? Well, this, COM
rades, happened here in Chicago
during the Lenin Memorial meeting
at which there was greater at
tendance than ever before.
I am writing this letter to give
my impression Of the causes of
what happened so that in the future
they may be avoided. OF course
there is certain group which is
disorderly woman next to me had
apples for her kids, but this is
small number and when most of
the audience is all right they, too,
soon become orderly. Most of the
audience consisted of workers; they
were serious and cooperated as
much as was humanity possible. In
a large hall there is always trouble
with the microphones. Every
speaker could be heard clearly, ex-
cept one. And who was this one?
1t was Comrade Gebert, chairman
of the meeting and district organ
izer. Comrade Gebert could alb
solutely not be understood by the
mass Of people. When Bob Minor
rose to speak the people were tired
of trying to hear Bill Gebert, and
as a result Minor was faced with
a tired and uninterested audience
Another thing. Why do people
have to go around selling literature
while there is speaking going on?
Instead of going home enthusiast
tic for Communism, one went home
disguised.

great paper and may I thank es-
pecially David Ramsey for his en-

Letters From Our Readers
by Burck

to fight radicalism at its source"
all capitalists should get together to
add 1914 more to the treasury price
of gold to lift the average of basic
producers prices another 10 per
cent? OF course, Karl Marx pointed
out what this imitation and eleva-
ton Of prices does to the working
class, but Harding wasn't troubled
about that.
Among themselves the capitalists
admit the truths of Marx and the
achievement of Socialism. Then
they step out into the street and
shout against it so that the hungry,
