Alabama Reaction

A YOUNG Communist, Raymond Harris,
"A twenty-five, has just been sentenced to
six months in Jail in Alabama
His "crime" was the possession of leaf
lets urging the workers not to fight for
Wall Street in the event of war.
The fact that this is Crime" shows
how far this country has already moved
on the road to fascist reaction and terror
ism.
The South is Roosevelt's political
stronghold and on him rests the blame
for this reaction.
Now more than ever must workers of
every political belief and utilization unite
to defend all elementary civil rights
against the advance of fascism.

No Faith In Double Dealers

in the double-deal But the

the lower links of the former oppo-

We, your leaders, are compelled to

He is venomous against the Soviet Union because
workers and farmers rule has driven out the rule of
the capitalists
The issue is, Which class shall rule-the millions of
workers or handful of capitalists.
Hearsts lying campaign against the Soviet Union
and the Communist Party of the United States is based
on his desire to defend the capitalist system from which
ne has proited so much. His purpose is to whip UP
frenzy for armed intervention against the only workers
and farmers government in the entire world

possess any perspective, could not
imagine any perspective. Hence,
they we're bound to exaggerate all
difficulties, educate their people in
defeatist spirit, instil in them the
abominable hope of the defeat of
the working class, the defeat of the
Communist Party. In order to
achieve this they had to fan their
hatred against the best of our class,
against the best representatives of
our Party. All this resulted in such
an theological muddle, evoked such
inner conflicts that tn e people
thereby lost their sense of honor
and their belief in everything, they
became traitors to the prOietariat,
the Party, the revolution, and sank
ever deeper into the morass. Many
of these people also sank into the
moral swamp even before they
finally sank into the political quag-
mire. In order to fire a shot from
a revolver all that is necessary is a
little powder. But for people who at
one time had connections with the
labor movement, people who had
once read Lenin and Marx. for such
people to aim their revolver at a
leader of the Soviet power, at a
leader of the Party, meant that they
had sunk to the lowest depths.
They Were Dregs
The direct social force of this
group is aptly characterized as
"dregs" in the resolutions of the
Leningrad and Moscow organiza-
tons. They are not backed by any
worker or peasant. Those Lenin-
grad workers who formerly followed
zinoviev for time have long been
working enthusiastically in building
Socialism under the Leadership of
Stain. These dregs are renegades
of the Party, purifying while alive,
who have seized the revolver and
become murderers of the proletarian
leaders in the interest of the bour-
geoisie.
They are dangerous if they are
not flung out of the Soviet build
ing, for, under cover of their Party
card, they are able to commit such
vile deeds as the murder of Kirov;
outside of the Party they belong to
the cesspool, where all remnants of
the defeated class enemy gather.
The Party will crush them, ami
hilate them, sweep them from the
earth with the convinced support of
all those who have the cause of
the working class at heart.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 13.-The be-

Ford Assembly plant in Mexico City

President, who has begun his term

William Randolph Hearst Lies about the Communist Port,


IN HIS frenzied campaign against the Soviet Union
and the Communist Party of the United States, Mr..
Hearst shows great soHctude for the Starving peas
ants of the U.S.S.R.
Is Mr.. Hearst concerned about the fate of the mil

In the United States a result of the drought and
the failure of the to provide adequate relief
hundreds of thousands of acres were laid waste.
Twenty per cent of the livestock killed off as

went directly to where the men were
at work. Cardenas asked the work
ers to air their grievances freely to
him, promising that no reprisals
would be taken against them. More
than a score of workers spoke up.
The President left and all of the
workers who had complained we're
promptly fired.
More than two weeks have passed
and they have not been reinstated.
A vast number of appeals and pro-
tests have reached Cardenas from
workers organizations, but the Pres
ident has practically declared that
the men need not hope to get their
jobs back and that the matter has
been closed.

Open Forum in Shoe Center

OPSA Il VI AAh III OllOt NGnIeT
For the last two Sundays 1 at
tnded the Open Forum lectures held
by the Binghamton Workers Edu-
cational Club and with a great deal
Of satisfaction listened to Comrsde
Fred Biedenkapp (of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union)
lecture on, Why the Crisis" These
were the first of two lectures of
series of lectures Comrade Bieden-
kapp promised to give. The meet
ing was attended by over As workers
the first time and nearly double
the number at the second lecture.
all of whom left the lecture in a
spirit of enthusiasm
1t is my sincere opinion that the
open Forum is a step in the right
direction and should have been car
ried on long ago. Lectures such
as Comrade Biedenkapp presented
will go far toward reactivizing the
many forces in the ranks of the
Binghamton workers, who, because
OF the lack of leadership, have been
inactive for a long time.
Binghamton, johnson and Endi-
colt cities form great shoe cen
ter, having over 10000 unorganized
workers, most of whom are en-
ployed in the Endicott johnson fac
tories working under conditions
akin to chattle slavery and 1 am
certain that many of these workers
can be enlightened and brought to
the realization that organization
will help them to improve their con-
ditions. This also goes for the I'M
employed council. Conrade Bed
enkapp should be induced to re-
main in Binghamton for long
time. With his help we could, no
doubt, develop our forces and carry
on some real organizational ac-
tivity and develop some of our own
forces to the point where we could
continue with the work in the fu-
ture.
Needless to say that these lee
lures, besides being a stimulant and
of educational value, offer a good
opportunity to canvas literature
and spread the Daily Worker. 1t is
up to the class conscious workers of
Binghamton to get on the Job!

problem has been that of getting
mass distribution Of literature in a
section of the country where towns
are small and distances are great.
At such mass meetings as we
have, that I am able to attend. I
always manage to rig up some kind
of literature table. Sometimes it
consists of only some rough boards
placed across some boxes. But
when they are covered with att-ac-
tive literature they don't look so
bad. However, find that this at
tracts only Party members, a few
who are close to the Party and a
few others through mere curiosity.
Therefore I see some of the lead
ers at the meeting and ask for
few minutes time on the program.
This has always been given me.
I then select an inexpensive pam
phlet that seems appropriate for
the occasion and usually one or
more papers and magazines. I'M
mediately after speaking few min
uteS on this literature 1 take it
directly to the people at the" seats.
1t always results in good sales.
Before the meeting opens and
while I am getting my display ready
1 usually meet persons who are
especially interested in literature
and its distribution. After the meet
ing these persons often help me in
one way or another in making sales.
When I was tied down most Of
the time in one small town I sewed
a large pocket or the inside Of my
vest. I then filled large manila
envelope such as We get from Work
ers Library Publishers with small
pamphlets. This way I always had
something at hand to sell when 1
got into conversation with people.
Ii pamphlets are carried loose in
a pocket they are likely to become
worn and soiled.
Organizers can help literature
agents immensely if thev will tell
us as quickly as possible about
meetings to be held in the vicinity,
also something about the nature OF
the meetings. On short notice it is
sometimes hard to get to meetings
where distances are great and it is
often hard to have just the right
kind of literature there Of course,
We can hep organizers by trying to
get out especially the kind of lit
erature that will best prepare the
ground for organizational work and
to strengthen organizations where
they already exist. We can inform
organizers of new contacts we make.
1 should like to see some criticisms
Of literature distribution work from
the standpoint of our organizers.
