INTERNATIONAL Bavarian Gov’t Quits; Reject New Tax Bill (Wireless By Inprecorr) BERLIN, Aug. 22.—The Bavarian government has resigned. The emergency tax bill has been re- jected, The cabinet approves Wirth’s franchise reform, which is now sub- mitted to the Reich’s council. The reform in the suffrage law for- mally observes that the constitution is actually reactionary. Smaller constituencies are recommended. There will be no Reich’s list and no official voting paper. Vote Communist! SPREAD SOCIAL INSURANCE BILL Demand War Funds For Unemployed (Continued from Page One) gram to prepare for war. War Funds for Jobless. One of the main demands of the Workers Social Insurance Bill, for which thousands of workers will come out and demonstrate on Sept. | 1st, is that all war funds be turned over immediately to an unemploy- ment insurance fund, to be admin- istered by the workers. The Workers’ Social Insurance Bill, provides a minimum weekly payment of $25 to all unemployed workers, whether they are unem- lack of work. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of copiés of the’ bill are being dis- | tributed in the shops, mines and fac- | starting point for tories. Millions of workers are dis- cussing it. Th» Trade Union Unity League is rushing plans for a huge demonstration on Sept. 1st to be the ever-widening mass organizations to force the bill through. No amount of lying by the capitalist government and their press can hide the seriousness and inereasing extent of unemployment. 400 Buffalo Workers Demand Passage of Bill. More than 400 workers assem- bled in Buffalo at William and Ben- net Sts. to listen to the speakers of the Trade Union Unity League and the Communist Party. ers, the majority Negroes and many unemployed, greeted the Workers’ Inguranee Bill with great enthu asm themes! to fight for the enactment of the bill and participate in the 1st. ‘Great Unemployed De tion in front of the*Broadw: torium. Nine workers joined the Party, and nledeed Aud: Many Daily Woriers, Labor Unity,, Party Platforms and other litera-| ture were sold. The preparation for the Septem- ber.1st Demonstration is going ahead full swing. A special shop leaflet is heing distributed for the Bethle- hem Steel Co., Crosby Dupont Rayon Co., Republic Steel Co; Special leaflets for the Negro and unemployed workers are being is- sued by the thousands. Members of the Trade Union Unity League are agitating and or- ganizing the workers every morn- ing in front of the large factories, where thousands of workers gather to look for a job. The T. U. U. L. of the Philadel- phia district is making preparations for big demonstrations of both em- ployed and unemployed workers. The conditions in Philadelphia are getting worse from day to day. The unemployment is constantly increas- ing. Wage-cuts are a daily occur- renee. In Kensington many mills are being closed down, with thou- sands of workers thrown out on the street. On the waterfront hundreds of Negroes and white workers come out every day hoping to get a little job, The Budd Manufacturing Co. and other big plants are laying off workers daily. The workers, because of their bad conditions and the betrayals of the misleaders of labor, are more and more responding to the call of the Trade Union Unity League. It is therefore to expect that on Sep- tember Ist thousands of employed and ‘unemployed, white and Negro workers, will demonstrate their strenght, power and will to carry on a struggle against the bosses for better conditions and unemployment insurance. The demonstrations will take place at 3 p. m. sharp at Jef- ferson Square, Fourth and Federal Sts. and McPherson Square in Ken- sington. Parade In New Bedford. Under the leadership of the T, U. u. ® mass parade and demon- stration, to demand the passage of the Workers’ Social Insurance Bill, will take place in New Bedford on Sept. Ist. The workers will gather atthe Common and begin their march at 2 o'clock, north on Pur- chase St, as far as Sawyer St., west on Sawyer to County, and then south as far as Walnut, east on Wal- nut to Pleasant and then north to the Common, Here a mess ?evon- stration will be held to »-o! workers for a fight for ; surance. he in- Vote Communist! i The work-} i- | vas} |.

The foreign banks are financing the counter-revolution against the Soviets and organizing troops of landowners and kulaks against them. The recent note of | the imperialists to the Nanking gov- ernment in connection with the events in Changsha, containing the demand “to prevent the repetition of such events,” was a stern sign to the Nanking government that the anti-Soviet war must be conducted more energetically and more ruth- lessly. The imperialists realize that the Nanking troops are unreli- able in the agrarian revolution and that many mutinies have taken place, the mutineers having refused to fight against the Soviets, in many places even going over to their side, DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST FRUIT PICKERS they tried to buy them off with a} couple of meals, All signs point to the fact that the farmer was implicated from the start.

British imperialism has also begun a struggle against the Chinese revo- |lution. Its arent is MaeDonald and |the British labor party. British | warships have repeatedly bombarded |the Chinese revolutionaries. The Chinese working masses were given a demonstration of the fact that the British “labor” government is pre- pared to drown the revolutionary | movement in blood wherever it} shows itself, in India, Feypt, Ara- bia, Africa and in China. The corre- spondent of the Frankfurter Zeitung | describes in a message how the com- | bined British, American and Japa- nese gunboats opened up a bomtard- ment of the red troops immediately they appeared in the Yangtze Val- ley. American imperialism is also not idle. It joined in the bombard- ment in the Yangtze Valley, it pro- millions and millions of the work: ing and peasant massés. The im- perialists therefore intend to take the conduct of the anti-Soviet war into their own hands. The imperial- ists are not only aiming at maintain- ing the colonial status quo in China, their aims are still wider. The whole colonial system of im- nerialism is at stake, not only in China, but in Egypt, in India, in Arabia, in Indo-China, in Corea, in the Philippines, ete. The Chinese Soviets are a flaming sign to the masses of thé oppressed and ex- ploited workers and peasants in all the colonial and semi-colonial eoun- tries to rise against their imperial- ist oppressors in the same fashion. It is the duty of the working masses in the capitali t countries to rally to the defense of the Revolution in China. BOSS PRESS HOT AT GERARD TALK ‘Handful of Rich Rule While Masses Starve (Continued From Page One.) statement.” That is, he should have known better than to spill the beans. Roy W. Howard, named by Gerard as one of the 59, is editor of the “N. Y, Telegram,” and is the only editor to remain silent. But happily enough, as the Com- munists have always explained, and as indeed Howard himself explained the other day, he has that fake “socialist” Heywood Broun, to come forward and deny that these 59 men rule America, “I cannot quite swallow his (Gerard’s) list of prize mixed pickles,” says the “socialist” | Broun, coming in as_ pinch-hitter | for the capitalist editor, Howard. “Socialist” Speaks for Capitalist Howard. Broun undoubtedly thinks that Broun ought to be in the list, and possibly his natural affinity, Aimee Semple McPherson. And he gets off his usual boner by saying that he would prefer to have the support of Arthur Brisbane than that of Weyerhauser, the millionaire lum- | ber king. Broun is such a half-wit that he doesn’t know yet that if anything has the support of Weyerhauser this will also guarantee the sup- port of Arthur Brisbane, the col- umnist. Broun doesn’t like to ad- mit that, because it would be ad- mitting that anything supported by his own millionaire boss editor, Howard, one of Gerard’s 59, will also be supported by Broun him- self. His column proves it. The N. Y. World, painstaking old “madame” of the Brass Check press, repudiates with horror that any list of rulers of America should leave out Hoover. It insists that he is one of the principal rulers of America, along with state governors and city mayors. But the “World” resents it when the Communists tell the workers to hold the government responsible for unemployment, wage-cuts, misery and war. So the “World” is just trying to get an alibi for the capitalist dictatorship. It is rather disconcerting for the A. F. of L. officials to be coldly with their claim that the U.S. is a “democracy.” A Minnesota paper at hand gives a local “labor” faker, McEwen of Duluth, in an at- tack on Communism because it, he claims, “is founded on autocracy,” while the A. F. of L. “believes in democracy.” Yet these fakers deny democracy to the A. F. of L. mem- bership and Gerard names two of the biggest fascist hureaucrats, Green and Woll, among the auto- crats who rule America. Only in one paper; the Journal of Commerce, which is read by cap- italists and not by workers, do we find a silent admission that Gerard is correct in saying that a handful! of rich men rule the country. W even find that the Daily Worker is confirmed in its statement, how- ever, that Gefard is wrong when he says these 59 rule “by their ability.” Ability? No! Power? Yes! The N. Y. Journal of Commerc | confesses that they rule, all right but says that many of them got power through inherited wealth, and politely indicates that some of them are no great shakes on brains, end- ing thus: “In short, Mr. Gerard appears to have succumbed to the universal de- lusion that position and wealth invariably connote ability in their possessors,”” We have an “invisible” govern- ment, a dictatorship of big capital ists.

But nothing terrorized or dampened the ardor of the masses. The speakers’ stands were ranged on each side of a red draped truck, bearing on the cab a replica of the electric chair and bearing large signs: “The Atlanta Six Must Not Die On the Electric Chair,” and “De- mand No Jail, No Death, for the Six Atlanta Defendants. Support the I. L.

He exposed the brutal at- tacks upon the foreign-born decla ing that in the opinion of the bos: a 100 per cent American worker is one who “will wrap himself in an American flag and starve to death.” E. Levine stated: “A Communist in every shop, on every ip, is the answer of the working class to the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti, to the vicious attacks upon the working class. Youkelson, Young _ Pioneer, brought up the case of Harry Eis- man, now serving five years in a reformatory for protest against terrible school conditions and de- red that the youth will be into the fight with the adult workers at all times. Many others spoke. The demonstration ended at 7:20 p. m., and the crowd marching south past the Workers Center, cheered for the Daily Worker, the Morning Freiheit and the Communist Party. Reference to the Chinese revolu- tion also drew tremendous cheers. J. Louis Engdahl, general seere- tary of the LL.D., declared “We raised the slogan three years ago that the workers of the world will never forget the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti by the capitalist class! “We repeat that today we will take revenge as a class for the mur- der of Sacco and Vanzetti! (“great applause”), And we raise ¢he de that workers organize into unions as an answer to the class injustice that befell Saeco and Vanzetti.” (More ap- plause.) | Spend Your Vacation at FIRST PROLETARIAN NITGEDAIGET CAMP—HOTEL Accommodations to suitsthe taste and desire of every camper HOT AND COLD WATER; POOL; T TS; BUN A Variety of Cultural Activities EVERY DAY SOMETHING NEW Athletics, Games, Hikes, Excursions, Dances, Theatre, Chorus, Lectures, Symposiums, etc. SLECTRIC LIGHTS; SWIMMING 3ALOWS; HOTEL ROOMS.
