The Real Rulers

EVEN a fascist demagogue like Father
~ Coughlin is not afraid to admit this
country is now ruled through special
committee of ffty-two leading Wall Street
industrialists and bankers.
This bunch of millionaires and multi
millionaires has been appointed by Roose-
welt
And no single law can pass without the
OK. of this Wall Street committee. They
are the real rulers of the country
This Wall Street committee, in short,
tells Roosevelt what to do and what not
to do! And he invariably Obeys.
This crowd is now organizing and f.
nancing fascist gangs, American Storm
Troops to smash the labor movement. At
the same time, they are preparing for
this fascist dictatorship by now exercising
their hidden dictatorship through their
agent, Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New
Deal.

Police Murder

DOLCE COMMISSIONER vALEN-
i TINES sadistic order to his police to
"muss 'em up" when making arrests re-
suited in the death of James Toomey, 20
year-old youth, in Bellevue Hospital on
Tuesday.
Toomey, arrested Sunday on suspicion
of participation in a hold-up, had his stom-
ach kicked in by three policemen, who beat
him on the head and jumped on him when
he fell
Such police brutality is nothing new.
Workers striking for better conditions, and
jobless men and women demanding relief
have been jumped on by the police,
slugged, kicked in the stomach and other
wise maltreated.
The 'muss 'em up" order by Mayor
LaGuardia's police commissioner legalizes
police brutality and violation of civil
rights. Directed ostensibly against gang
sters and gangster suspects, it will in
creasingly be used to justify police as
saults on strike pickets and unemployed
workers. Withdrawal of the vicious 'muss
EN- up order should be demanded by
every working class organization and sin
cere liberal group.

Coughlin Warns His
Capitalist Friends
Casey III.
Comrade Editor:


Comrade Editor:
What worries Coughlin at this
time, as he sees the laboring class
struggling for economic, social and
political liberty, is that wage slav-
cry will be dead-no more profits.
Therefore, in the same breath that
he shouts, "The system of Capital
ism must be destroyed" he screams,
The Catholic Church stands four
square behind the capitalist. /.
When his voice is silent and weak,
and his hands unclean, we will con-
front the Communist and Socialist
in his defense, and if necessary, die
in defending the Constitution under
which he gained his wealth"
Some one has said that the last
refuge of a scoundrel is the flag.
Here he appeals to patriotism, the
upholding of the Constitution, to
defend a system which enriches the
"unclean" hands of the few at the
expense of starving humanity.
But does this sly old fox believe in
what he preaches-the unfolding Of
the Constitution? He does not.
With the ballyhoo of dying to de-
fend the Constitution, which is sup
posed to guarantee free speech, he
is trying to save capitalism, to slip
over fascism-the open, brutal die
tatorship of the capitalist class-on
the working class.
He warns his capitalist friends
that the walls Of capitalism are
crumbling, that the workers are
struggling for an economic, social
and political freedom, that wage
slavery will be dead. It is a warn
ing against the rising of militant
working class and it's vanguard, the
Communist Party; against Social
ism which is enveloping the world.
1t will do you no good, Mr..
Coughlin, to warn your friends. So
cialism, Communism are historical
movements. You and your kind may
retard it by fascism, you cannot
stop it.
It will do you no good to cry out
to the masses, The Communists
want to take your God and your
country" They cannot lose what
they do not have, and instead of
your nationalism, we offer them
their internationalism
The coming generations, under
Communism, will accept science as
their guide, which will make them
healthier people and give them a
better world F. S.

LID. Members Honor
Memory of Linden
Portland. Oregon

Portland, Oregon,
Comrade Editor:
We are very glad to be able at
this time to tell you that the Theo-
dore Jordan Branch, which for a
long time has been idle and neg
lecting to carry on the activity of
the International Labor Defense,
has been reorganized. Our first
meeting was not so large in num-
bers, but all of the members took
very sincere and energetic atti-
tude, and pledged themselves to
work hand in hand together, and
we feel that a few good active mem
bers can in due time b-ild up in
numbers and have a real fighting
organization after all.
We, the members of the Theo-
dore Jordan Branch of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, wish to ex-
press our sincere sympathy in the
loss of our beloved Comrade Emil
Linden, formerly Section Organizer
of the Portland Section of the In
ternational Labor Defense. 1t was a
great loss to our organization.
There is work for the rest of us
to do, and we feel that it is our
duty to fulfill the last wish our
Comrade would have left with us.
Fight on, struggle on, and work to-
gether, colored and white worker,
that we may carry on all working
class struggles.

F.D.R. Fights the Guild

THE newspaper publishers have cracked
down on the President of the United
States and Franklin D. Roosevelt has
cracked up"
This is how Haywood Broun, president
of the American Newspaper Guild, char
acterized the decision of President Roose-
welt to reverse the order of the National
Labor Board for reinstatement of Dean
Jennings, rewrite man, fired by Hearst's
San Francisco Call-Bulletin for member
ship in the American Newspaper Guild.
The President decided that all COM
plants of newspaper workers must be
placed before the Newspaper Code Com
mittee, which is entirely composed of their
bosses, the publishers! Roosevelt's action
is direct blow at the American News
paper Guild. It is further evidence to show
that even in cases where the N. r. A.
misses out" and there is a favorable de-
cision for the workers Roosevelt can be
counted upon to see to it that nothing like
this gets by him.
Cracking down on the President" is
good way to put it. And the gentleman
who cracked the whip is none other than
William Randolph Hearst, the big gun in
the United front of publishers in the Pub
fishers Association. It is Hearst who
through his Call-Bulletin deliberately
forced a showdown.
The attitude taken by the Guild, as ex-
pressed by its president, indicates that
newspaper workers will accept the chal-
lenge of the publishers and Roosevelt with
a renewed drive to organize all newspaper
workers in the country Militant organi-
zation will win concessions from the pub
fishers.

Vol Joins Hearst

QERNARR MACFADDEN has Joined
u Hearst in bowling for the blood of all
militant workers in general and Commu-
nists in particular
One by one, the propaganda engines of
the Wall Street rulers are being drawn
into line for the most violent anti-Commu-
mist lynch hysteria ever seen in this coun-
try.
It is a sinister truth that Matthew
VOL, vice-president of the A F. of L., is
also part of the pack. In this weeks Lib
erty" he growls bloodthirstily: ''The time
has come for definite, drastic action. We
have been somnolent too long"
Thus the top oficialdOm of the A. F. of
L. is part and parcel of the Wall Street
machinery for smashing the militant labor
movement.
VOLTS anti-COmmunist blood taunt is
exactly similar to, and comes at the same
time as the bowls of the National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers speaking through
Hearst and Macfadden
In his RED batting" Vol is helping
this ruthless gang of Wall Street indus
trialists to smash the trade unions or turn
them into fascist prisons!

Roosevelt Cuts Wages

ROOSEVELT is rapidly taking his place
IL as the leading wage-cutter in the coun-
try.
First he set the wage levels of the
country at the NR.A. minimum" of SIP,
which rapidly became, in practice, a maxi
mum, with the average less than So
Then he warned, in his take the profits
out of the war" speech, that wages must
more and more approximate that of the
army-S30 a month
Now his latest work relief plan pro-
vides for not more than S12 week for
not more than 100000 jobless workers.
The other twelve million can starve.
Roosevelt, by fixing this starvation
wage level through the Federal govern
ment, and by establishing an army of
jObless workers getting no relief at all, is
helping Wall Street industry to smash
American wage levels to new lows.
The work relief program will not solve
the problem of the jobless.
The Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, H. R. 1927, alone provides for cash
relief, and for immediate insurance bene-
fits for all jobless workers without ex-
ception

Piled the correct policy. It shows

Fund" Used In Recruiting Drive
Unit Five did not consider itself
as a collection agency for the Party,
but understanding the political
points OF the Red Fighting Fund,
used the contacts to good advantage
and brought eleven new members to
the Party during the recruiting
drive.
We informed our section member
ship through a special letter about
Unit Five, challenging them to beat
the figure Of 1920. And here we
are: Another shock brigade unit
brings in their complete receipt
book. Unit Fifteen, Section Fifteen
has sent out twenty-four comrades
who collected $26.65, or $2.65 above
the minimum.

though Section Fifteen is still
first on the records as far as the
largest sum of money collected on

The conditions are that not less

to turn IN two books every week.
with a minimum of 50, drops out of
the contest.
1 am deeply interested in knowing
why the result of the Red Fighting
Fund Is not 100 per cent successful.
The answer probably is, because our
membership, and even our unit
leaders do not fully understand the
political Importance of the Red
Fighting Fund. They look at 1t as
another collection of money, and in
the units we are usually trying to
avoid such collection. Therefore, q
political education on finances and
special discussion in the units is
necessary.
