The optimistic statements issued are in- tended as soothing syrup to quiet down the growing mass discontent with unemployment and proposed wage cuts. What were the accomplishments of the meetings of bankers, labor fakers, railroad bosses, construction contractors and the rich farmers? The railroad figures showed a sharp cut for future railroad con- struction work. The building trades bosses would discuss only one thing—wage cuts for every building trades worker. The steel trade maintains, according to the New York Times, “it is not believed that a great deal can be done toward restoring the business which the steel industry is losing.” No concrete steps were taken which point to an alleviation of the growing crisis. However, very important steps were taken by Hoover’s imperialist bosses that will have their effect on every worker in the country. First, the capitalists are taking over the open function of the government preparatory to their union-smashing and wage-cutting drive. Hoover’s economic crisis meetings were but the preliminary steps to a stronger organization of American capitalism to cope with the grow- ing internal contradictions and the leftward swing of the working clas: In this dirty work of crushing the worker’s resistance at all costs, the best friends of American imperialism were called into council—the Greens, Wolls, and Morrisons are the shock troops of capitalism in the battle against a growingly discontented working class. Secondly, an imperialist apparatus of a fascist nature has grown out of the present crisis which will mobilize the forces of capitalism much quicker than can the present “democratic” capitalist state ap- paratus. The actual organization of this fascist instrument has been handed over to the United States Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of William Butterworth and Julius H. Barnes. A powerful anti-labor organization of 200 leading capitalists will be formed for the express purpose of “mobilizing its forces in co- operation with the government.” Its actual object will be the taking over of the leading functions of government. The immediate effect of the present crisis on the working class is growing mass unemployment. With this comes nation-wide wage cuts. Then follows union smashing campaigns with its reign of terror and the attempted suppression of the advance guard of the working class—the Communist Party, the Young Communist League and the Trade Union Unity League. Not only do'the Greens, Wolls and Musteites rush in to brace up the crumbling walls of capitalist economy, but insidiously one of im- perialism’s best allies is the degenerate, counter-revolutionary Love- stone clique which gives “comfort and aid to the enemy,” the capitalist class. The Lovestoneites assure capitalism that it has nothing to fear in. the present crisis. The Lovestone “analysis” of the present crisis is far to the right of any statement made by the capitalists called together by Hoover to discuss the present situation. There is a united front against the American working class reach- ing from the White House, backed up by Wall Street and the American Federation of Labor, with strong ramifications in the “socialist” party, the Muste group, on through to the Lovestone apologists for the sound- ness of imperialist economy. In this situation the task ofthe Communist Party, the Young Communist League and the Trade Union Unity League is clear. These stalwart leaders of the working class battles take the initiative in fighting the wage cuts; we must push the building of a revolutionary trade union center and affiliated organizations. The working class youth has the task of fighting with the Party in its important campaigns and taking the lead in preparing the working class youth to put up a revolutionary fight against imperialist war which will be pushed by the new fascist apparatus of American im- perialism. The Communist Party and the most conscious sections of the work- ing class—which more and more recognize the Communist Party as their leader in all present-day struggles—accept the challenge of Hoover's National Fascist Council! The American workers will not be willing victims of this new cut-throat drive of capital! On with the preparations for the sharpest struggle against the new crimes of wage-cutting and union-smashing of the “Mussolini” of the White House! Mant sertaEs ony ke ee Pioneers Expose Capit- | Not Fake, But Real alist Character of Strike, is Slogan of Thanksgiving Day’ Dress Meet Tonight The Young Pioneers of America have issued a statement to allwork- ing class children exposing the capi- talist character of Thanksgiving Day. The statement reads: “Hoover, the millionaire Wall St. President, has issued a declaration that Thursday, Nov. 28, be set aside as Thanksgiving Day. On this day the rich people will celebrate, but | the workers will starve, just as they | do all year around. “In the schools the teachers tell us that we should be thankful that God allowed us to live in such a wonderful country.

This is the de-| cision ‘of the Trade Union Unity League national executive board, in its session of Nov: 16 and 21. The board realizes fully the enor- mous power directed against organ- ization of the steel workers. The U. S. Steel Corporation, the .Beth- lehem Steel Co., and most of the smaller aggregations of steel capital jhave been consistently non-union for years. In the last great test of strength, 1919, the steel companies stood as a unit against their work- strike breaking purposes. They were also able to use the heads of the A. F. of L., and of some of the inter- national unions to betray the strike. Workers Are Ready. The T.U.U.L. nevertheless, knows also that there is much dissatisfac- tion throughout the steel industry, that the hundreds of thousands of workers are ready and anxious to do something to improve their con- ditions. The general, secretary of the T.U.U.L., William Z. Foster, leader of the 1919 strike, reported to the board that on his recent or- ganization tour in every steel center he found unemployment, speed-up, and the immediate prospect of wage {cuts. He found the steel workers eager to hear the message of the T.U.U.L., and anxious to organize. The T.U.U.L. metal trades com- mittee has headquarters now in Pittsburgh, and recently three Ne- gro workers were added to this com- mittee, for Negro labor plays a con- siderable part in the steel industry. The metal committee has placed a full time general organizer in the field, and is concentrating on steel. The first regional conferences will probably be held in Chicago, Youngs- town, Wheeling and Bethlehem... The board demands closer coop- eration between the steel organizers committees and leagues with the local general leagues of the T.U.U.L.

Injunctions are issued every day against picketing. More are expected tomorrow. Some bosses who have not actually locked out their workers are trying to worsen conditions. There are a number of arrests. But the strikers’ ranks grow day by day, and they are absolutely de- termined to win, in spite of injunc- tions. They defy the injunctions and keep on picketing.

Speakers for the renegade Lovestoneites at the meeting told the communist workers present “to go to their ‘nigger’ friends.” The meeting was a failure. The few workers present were aroused against the renegade Lovestonites, who relied on the capitalist police as an argument to the embarassing questions put to them. The Lovstonites got a petty- bourgeois restaurant keeper to press the charges against the arrested CUBAN WORKER Brooks Protested Use of Union’s Name for the A.

Santiago Brooks was the Secre- tary of the Union of Railway Em- ployes of Northern Cuba, and the “erime” which the Cuban capitalist press speak so mysteriously about hi. being involved in, was nothing more than. his protest at the use o the name of his organization and those of the port workers at Tarafa, in the signing of telegrams to the adhesion to the American Federa- tion of Labor. In connection with the resolution of the Foreign Relations Committee of the U. S. Senate on Sept. 29, 1929, concerning conditions in Cuba, the Cuban “government” has made various maneuvers tending to show that in Cuba the workers have good conditions and that the masses are “content with the government”—a flagrant lie.

Workers Read Daily, Can’t Get Enough Workers’ Groups Must Adopt Mill Centers Where Toilers Demand Daily Worker It’s in answer to letters like this that workers and workers’ groups must do their utmost to rush the Daily Worker to the southern mill workers. This leter comes from a mill worker in a part of North Caro- lina in which the workers are as yet unorganized. But they are so keen to enter into the s struggle that their appeals for organizers from the militant National Textile Workers Michael Tomsky, handed the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union a written dec- laration admitting their political mistakes, condemning their past op- position to the Party policy and pledging full support to Central Committee decisions. The declara- tion is quoted as follows: “For nearly two years we opposed the Central Committee in a series of political tactical problems. We con- sider it our duty to declare that in this dispute the Communist Party and its Central Committee proved to be right and we were wrong.” “Admitting our mistakes, we promsie together with the Commu- nist Party to fight decisively against deviations from the Party general line, particularly against right wingers, in order to overcome all difficulties and assure full victory for socialist construction.” JOBLESS GROW UNDER LABOR Union—and for the Daily Workers—have grown into demands.
