—— READING “SOCIALISTS” GROSS BETRAYERS SAY MEMBER; BOSS AGEN | Socialist amidiltation Helped Bosses in Drive on Workers and Jobless Mislead Workers in the S. P. Should Join the} Communist Party for Real Struggle (Bu a Worker Correspondent) READING, Pa.—The workers here are beginning to see the true nature.of the socialist adm ration. Read the letter that a worker and a member of the socialist party wrote in to the “Reading Times.” “Mr. Rhodes (President of the Federated Trades Council and prom- inent socialist here): You talk about unions and organizations. Can you point with pride to any local victories for labor, any strikes won, any increase in wages? Surely you will not have the temerity to refer to the gross betrayal of the iron workers whom you helped to herd back with nothing more won than a new organization to collect dues fom? “And you dare not attempt to take credit for any part in the splendid victory won for the Reading Hardware workers when on strike seyeral years ago. This strike was led by class-conscious, and militant workers who spurned the very idea of help from the labor fakers at Labor Lyceum. And this was one of the very, very few strikes won by Reading labor and that it was a victory was due entirely to the fact that the men who led the strike were faithful to their trust. “Mr. Rhodes, if you are so vitally interested in the welfare of the ) Reading workers, will you then tell the public of Reading and the some 15,000 unemployed workers in particular, just why the socialist city administration failed to inatgurate a program of public improve- ment to aid the unemployed and why they have not had the honesty to live up to this pledge as made by Mayor Stump at the time of the stock | market crash and in answer to Mr. Hoover’s frantic appeal? Will you tell the workers of Reading why Norman Thomas attempted more grand stand play by publicly requesting Mayor Walker of New York . City to use his office in pushing public works to relieve the distress of workers when he knew the penny pinchers and labor charlatans hold- ing office in Reading were doing nothing? “As a socialist, these questions do not interest me. But you have raised the issue and choose to speak for labor—for the workers, There are some who repudiate this self-engendered leadership. We are not fooled by either socialist mayors, re-built school houses or new court houses, neither have we attempted to use the woes of labor to be elected to fat salaried office.” It isn't enough that the workers know that the socialists are only blood brothers of the capitalist politicians. Only the Communist Party fights against capitalism and its parties and all workers should join. —READING WORKER. From Women Workers of a Soviet Bread | Factory | (By a Worker Correspondent) MOSCOW.—We, the women | port about the International workers of the Bread Factory N 3 of the Proletarian district, send you ardent greetings. I want to relate to you how we | celebrated our holiday, March 8. | On this day all women could fin- ish their work ealier than usua!. ) It was permitted us on this day to work only 5 hours instead of 7 hours, of course, without cutting the wages. But we decided at our women’s meeting to work all the seven hours, so that our wages for those two hours could be given to our sisters, the peasant women, for the organization of institu- tions for the improvement of their conditions of life. With this sisterly help to the village on March 8 we strength- ened once more our friendshi| Sikthepeiae oe ene P| CLAUDIA KONDRATJEWA, | On the night of March 8 there | Woman worker of the Bread Do-+ was a gathering, with a good re- tory of the Proletarian District.

There must be a shop dele- ate conference in every city. 3. Every industrial group is to organize conferences to carry on the campaign. 4.

When Chief Thundervoice spoke, he was greeted with tremenoous en- thusiasm. He said: “When I ar- rived in Schenectady I was exam- ined by the police. They thought I was carrying a bomb.
