I was searching for work in one of Chicago’s large new build- ings and had just left the employ- ment office where I was told that the emplyoment manager had gone out. I happen to be interested in machinery as I work on making and repairing machinery when employ- ed; so seeing the door of the motor soom open, I stepped inside for a moment to look at the latest kind of elevator machinery. As soon as { come out of the room, a detective of the building stopped me, asking ~ lot of personal and unnecessary -mestions. He took me to the em- vloyment office of the building for further investigation and there took me to a desk at which sat the chief detective. The cur that brought me in told the most outrageous lies about me,| saying that he had timed me and found that I was in the building an hour and a half, whereas I had searcely been in the building 10 vaimtes. He further reported that he had seen me trying the doors of the stores (though all the stores! were open and many were empty!) and that 1 had attempted to put ry in the bearings of the mach- ingry!

Y. SPANISH WORKERS FOR COMMUNIST PARTY The Spanish-speaking workers of New York, and there are 250,000 or so, are tending more and more to look to the Communist Party for a revolutionary solution of the misery they endure. This was shown over the week- end, in a contest between the Party and the Lovestone renegades from Communism. With all their talk of being the “majority” group, the Spanish workers on Friday evening, hearing that they were falsely claim- ing to be Communists, routed the Lovestone speaker. Saturday the renegades came back, significantly ‘protected against the workers by police. This incensed the workers, who flocked to the Party meeting across the street in such numbers that the “majority- police” gang sent their police allies to break up the Party meeting. The crowd was invited, and re- sponded en masse, to the Spanish | even we Communists, “believes” in Sir: I have been reading your paper for over a year, and I will ’say that it is the best paper for the workers. For foreign news it is excellent. I don’t believe in strikes, but I do believe in good wages. The only thing that keeps me from being a so-called Red is that Russia doesn’t believe in religion and I try to be a true follower of my Savior the Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of Mankind. A country without the Lord cannot exist very long, sayest the Lord. I am a Veteran of Foreign Wars, 1918. But I am 100% for | the working class. Last winter | was the most terrible for work that I ever saw. But before next winter there will be a change by Soviet Russia. It cannot be any worse than under Wall Street and the Hoover administration. But us ex-service men have to be quiet in public. But when the right time comes, nine-tenths of all overseas Vets will go against capital. I know the sentiment of all Veterans of Foreign Wars of the common class.—H.L.S. * eh Editorial Note: If H.L.S. will think over matters a bit more deep- ly, he will see some things about his letter—which on the whole is a good letter, that are not consist- ent with even his own logic. For instance: He don’t “believe” in strikes, but he does “believe” in good wages. Comrade H.L.S., don’t you see. that neither strikes nor wages is a mat- ter of “belief”?? Why do strikes occur? Not because anyone, not strikes, just to strike. But the only way to get those “good wages,” eve to save bad wages from getting worse, is to strike. Thus it is about Soviet Russia and this country and the conditions for the workers in both. There are millions of working people, parti- cularly the peasants, in Soviet Rus- sia, who “believe” in the “Savior.” For centuries they sprinkled holy water on their fields and prayed for good crops. But “believing” didn’t help them. So long as the landlords robbed them, the Czar—who was head of the Church, taxed them to death, and the priests kept them ignorant, so long as they used wooden plows and poor seed, their “Savior” didn’t do a thing to “save” them. Then they followed the leadership of the Communists and overthrew the Czar, drove off the landlords, and the Bolsheviks gave them trac- tors and selected seed, help of all kinds; and didn’t ask them whether they “believed” in the Lord Jesus or not.

The Lord Jesus can’t deliver the goods, but the Bolsheviks can! Incidentally, do you know, H.L.S., that this country was ruled by a man, “Injunction Bill” Taft, from Starving Woman Worker Has No Food for Kids Dear Comrade:— Recently in the city of the rich and prosperous there occurred on eof the most astounding oc- currences that can appear in a system of society only like the one under which we live, the sys- tem that robs the workers and sucks their blood. In Oakland, California, where the parasites come to spend the dollars that they rob by exploiting the work- ers, there appeared a woman in court charged with vagrancy. The charge was that she had given away all her children to anyone who wanted to take them. This woman is Mrs. Agnes Bunan. She pleaded guilty to the charge that she could not support her children and that she had to go to work and give her® children away. Here we quote this victim of capitalist injustice: “My husband and I could not get work. We cauld not get food. Both of us applied to the employ- ment agency, but without suc- cess. I applied to the commu- nity chest charity fund, but with- out success.” This case is not the only case. There are cases like that happen- ing every day. They will happen as long as we live under the rot- ten system of capitalism. There is only one place where the work- ers do not have to worry about starving and that is the’ Soviet Union, the only fatherland of the working class. WORKER CORRESPONDENT. Oakland, Calif. AMBASSADOR EDGE TRIES SOFT SOAP PARIS.—U. S. Ambassador Edge, tried to persuade the French cap- italists that the tariff really didn’t mean anything to them, and that everything would be all right. Their reaction to this hoakum is shown by the demands of retaliation on the part of the leading capitalists. that your Lord Jesus was divine? Yet “the country” existed just the same and the class struggle went on just the same, with Taft break- ing strikes just the same as under Hoover, whose “belief” is in the Quaker church, but who violates, in the interests of the capitalists, all the strict pacifist “beliefs” of the | Quakers, travelling on battleships, preparing war on the Soviet Union and England, and shooting Nicar- aguans who don’t understand the blessings of being robbed by the | Christian bankers of Wall Street. It is all a matter of fact, not of “belief,” and the fact is that so- ciety, “the country,” as you put it, is composed of economic classes, whose economic relationship to one another, and not their “beliefs” or lack of “beliefs,” determines whe- | ther they work hard and yet stay poor, or do nothing yet are rich. If one class exploits the other, the exploiters fet fat and the ex: ploited get thin, and they can “be- lieve” in Lord Jesus, or Buddha, or | Henry Ford. Nothing helps them until they organize as a class and fight to overthrow their exploiters. Not just to change places, but to stop exploitation. And remember that the fight against capital is not a fight against “England,’ but against American bosses, right here. Let the British workers, led by British Communists, take care of British capitalists. Well, H.L.S., you see we Com- munists don’t “believe” in an; Savior but the working class. You believe in a Lord Jesus, who we are quite certain don’t exist. But you say you are “100% for the working class.” « We ask you to prove it by join- ing in the struggle with us, to help win strikes against wage cuts, to force capitalists to help the unem- ployed, to organize the workers to overthrow capitalism and establish socialism. If your belief in Lord Jesus pre- vents you from doing your part in thus struggle, your belief in a Savior don’t save you. On the con- trary, it starves you, as an obstacle in the way of the only Savior there is for you and all of us workers, the revolutionary action of the working class. TeXas War Vet Finds “Daily” Fights for Workers Always Daily Worket: I am writing these few remarks to let the world know I am down here in Texas striving under the same slavery I read so much about in the Daily Worker. First of all, I want to try to ex- press my appreciation of having a paper like the Daily Worker to read. Ihave not been taking the paper for more than a short time. In fact I did not know there was a paper printed which was making such a plendid fight for the wealth producers of the wealthiest country in the world.

In the “Daily Worker” of June 11th on the back page there is an article hy comrade Manuel Perry exposing the treacherous charac- ter of Weishord, Keller, Dawson, ete. n iconnection with the strikes in Fall River and New Bedford. The objection I find with this article is that the writer doesn’t give the first name or initials of these traitors. This leaves a pos- sible opening for suspicion of comrades who may have the same surname as one of these lice. Be it known here and now if the article holds true to facts— that I have not the slightest sym- pathy with these renegades. And furthermore, if ever I should be- come a traitor (which I won't) that I would have the decency of Judas to go and hang myself.
