Just | |how far Muste will go in this direc- {tion with the U.T.W., the spear- |point of the A.F.L. attack on the Southern workers, is hard to tell. .| Apparently he is trying to bargain with Green, and arranging some kind of co-operation, at the expense of Lewis, and with the intention to fool the workers into positions where | their struggle can be paralyzed.

Senate Fears the Jobless Workers (Continued from Page One) into the discussion by Senator Wheeler of Montana, who demanded that Woll be called before the lobby | committee and questioned about his fake story of $1,250,000 being sent by the Soviet Government to Wil- liam Z. Foster for the Communist Party in the United States. Wheeler was forced to admit that Hoover was very quick to give $160,000,000 in tax returns to the big bosses. Wheeler’s fake opposi- tion is influenced by the mass dis- content of the farmers in his dis- trict, who are being hard hit by the growing agrarian crisis. Im an effort to show that he is one of the best supporters of the capitalist system, Wagner said: “The very safety of the whole econ- omic system is at issue.” Wheeler pointed out that Whal- en’s cossacks club unemployed men and women, while Whalen himself “is basking in the Florida sunshine with other millionaires.” The fake opposition of the petty- | bourgeois senators grows out of the Seet thot the revolutionary trade unions, under the leadership of the Trade Union Unity League, sup- MASS PROTEST — WOMEN'S DAY | Prepare For Big Meet | March 8 | International Women’s Day will | {be a mighty demonstration against | the New York District of ine | {Communist Party which is arrang- | 8 \ing a big celebration of International | : | each.
