Cold-blooded murder is increasingly becoming a conscious policy of the American capitalists, their police tools and gangsters. NY, CONFERENCE Boss Class Feeds Beefsteaks to | u J This | is again shown by the fatal wounding of Mitchel Gray, an unemployed OF UNEMPLOYED Do Ss y Y hile Unem lo ed i sta YVE Negro worker, by the Chicago police on Saturday which Tuesday Y i : resulted in his death. to be killed (two by the police and one by A. F. of L. gangsters) since July ist. Nine militant working class fighters have been killed this year. Gastonia, New York, Chicago and Avella, Pa., have all been the scenes of such outright murders. In addition to these, twenty-six Negro workers have been lynched. Dozens of other Negroes have been found dead; nothing, but obviously fake explanations having been made as to the cause of their death. The death toll aniong the Negro and white workers, especially among the militant workers, is steadily mounting. This is not -accidental. It results directly from the deepening economic crisis, from the efforts of the bosses to place the burden of the crisis on the workers’ backs, and from the growing militancy of the workers. Workers, jobless, hungry, and homeless, are begin- ning to fight back. The bosses are afraid of what might happen with the coming of cold weather. They are attempting to break the workers’ resistance now, and prevent them from organizing and fighting, by instituting a terror regime. By brutal murder methods, accompanied by all kinds of fake promises about immediate relief and an early return of prosperity, they hope to tide through the winter. This offensive of the bosses must be stopped by developing a workers’ counter offensive. The demand for immediate relief for the unemployed and for the immediate adoption of the Unemployment Insurance Bill must be pushed with even greater vigor. All workers, employed and unemployed, must rally for this fight. In the shops the workers must organize. Shop committees must everywhere be established. Strike preparations must quickly be made. Great strike struggles must be undertaken, with the support of the unemployed, to stop the bosses’ wage-slashing drive. Strike struggles against wage cuts and a determined fight for the Unemployment Insurance Bill must occupy the central place in the workers’ fight. Hand in hand with the building of unemployed councils and shop committees of the Trade Union Unity League, must go the building of workers’ defense corps. The workers, while fighting against wage cuts and for unemployment insurance, during strikes and demonstra- tions and in all their activities, must defend themselves against the murderous attacks of the police and their underworld henchmen. The murderous attacks of the bosses must everywhere be met by the mass defense of the workers. The building of defense corps must now proceed, not merely before demonstrations, but continuously with the greatest speed. Lynchings and murders of Negroes and working class militants can only be stopped in this manner. In the election campaign the Communist Party calls upon al) workers, all farmers, all Negroes to rally for the fight against lynchings and police murders. We call upon the workers and far- mers to fight with us against capitalism which breeds murder against the toiling masses. We call upon the workers to organize defense corps to defend themselves against these attacks. Vote Communist!
