These conferences are especially significant coming at this time. It is now clear that the autumn months will not bring the promised improvement in the economic situation. On the contrary, instead of improvement, we see a daily worsening of the situation. More fac- tories are shutting down. More workers are being thrown out of t! factories. More evictions are taking place. Part-time work is in- creasing. Wages ar here being slashed. The misery and suf- fering of the x , both unemployed and employed, is daily beom- ing worse. Ev , as winter approaches, the hardship of the masses will become great It is these circumstances and this per- spective that causes the revolutionary workers’ organizations to call upon the workers to rally at the September 28th conferences to organ- ize and prepare for struggles Unemployed insurance—the Unemployment Insurance Bill as pro- posed by the Communist Party—will be the central demand consid- ered at these conferences. Instead of starvation and suffering these conferences will organize the fight for unemployment insurance. They will not propose to take a census of the unemployed. They will not propose to “study” unemployment. They will not propose to “investi- gate” the possibilities of unemployment insurance. All these are the stalling methods of the capitalist politicians. These conferences will organize the workers to fight to force these stalling political fakers to grant immediate Unemployment Insurance. And until such insurance is granted the local conferences in every city will fight to force the local city administrations to provide immediate relief equivalent to the $25 per week provided for by the Unemployment Insurance Bill. These conferences, also, will be a tremendous factor in uniting the struggle of the employed and unemployed workers. The fight against wage cuts, representing the most burning issue for the w -k- ers still in the factories and mines, will be fully considered by the conferences. The organization of shop committees and the prepara- tion of strikes will go hand in hand with the organizationof the un- employed councils-and the fight for immediate unemployment insurance. September twenty-eighth will mark a further and-important step in the organization and struggle of the American workers. Plans will | be worked out for continued struggle to force the bosses and their gov- | ernment to listen to the demands of the workers. All workers in all cities who are desirous of fighting against the present unbearable con- ditions forced upon the massés by a ruthless capitalism should rally to the conferences called jointly by the T. U. U. L. and the Unem- ployed Councils on September 28th. The Communist Party supports these conferences. It supports the demands which will be put forward there. It will support and give Jeadership in the struggles which these conferences will outline. It will make the fight for its unemployment insurance bill and against wage cuts the central issues in the election campaign. Workers! Don’t starve! Fight! Demand immediate unemployment insurance! Organize! Strike Against Wage Cuts! Rally behind the unemployed conferénces on September 28th! Vote Communist on November 4th! 3 Fighting Evictions Detroit workers have shown the way in the fight against evictions. ‘After unemployed workers have been evicted and their furniture piled in the streets by the court constables, the workers of the neighborhood have rallied, under the leadership of the unemployed councils, and replaced the furniture back in the house. This has been done in no Jess than a dozen cases during the past two weeks. In one case the constables returned and again removed the furniture to the street. The neighbors again replaced the furniture. Police, with sawed-off shot- guns, then carried through the eviction, showing‘ the length to which the city governments will go to protect the landlords while completely ignoring the shameful suffering of the unemployed workers. In many cases, however, after the furniture was returned, the bosses’ agents | have not dared to again attempt the eviction. The Detroit method is the correct method. Workers everywhere, harrassed by unemployment and the bosses’ brutal wage-cutting drive, must militantly fight evictions. Jobless workers, without income, with- out even the minimum of food and clothing for themselves and their families, obviously cannot pay rent. And why, we ask, should the workers be the sufferers from the economic crisis for which they in no sense are responsible? Why should the factory owners, the bankers, the landlords regularly get their huge profits, crisis or no crisis, while workers go without bread, without shoes, and finally without a home in which to live? This condition can only continue so long as the workers permit it to continue. The workers can end the rule of these capitalist parasites and robbers, now maintained by the police and military power of the capitalist controlled city, state and national governments, by system- atically preparing and continuously fighting to overthrow the govern- ment of the capitalists and to establish here, as has already been done in the Soviet Union, a government of the workers and farmers. In no | other way can the mass suffering and misery characteristit of capi- | talism be overcome. The fight against evictions is the beginning. Evictions can we | prevented by the masses of workers rallying as they have in Detroit. UP PREJUDICE | the presence in his home of Com- | | munist booklets BOSSES WHIP IN GA. TRIALS Latest Lynching Used | to Stir Race Passions | in South Trial Opens Tuesday | Court Orders Negro| Comrades on First The southern bosses are franti- | cally setting the stage for a judicial lynching of Herbert Newton and | Henry Storey, the two Negro “in-| surrection” defendants who go on trial next Tuesday in Atlanta, Ga. Two events which occurred yes- | terday at widely separated points | in the South show the extent to! which the bosses are going in whip- | ping up lynching sentiment against the two Negro defendants, whom | the Atlanta courts have deliberately | isolated from the four white work- | ers held on the same charge. | In Thomasvill, Ga., yesterday, 20-year-old Negro worker, Willie Kirkland, was lynched by a mob or- ganized by the bosses on the lying charge that he had raped the nine year old daughter of his boss. Southern bosses always have con- venient at hand wives and daugh- ters willing to do their bidding in framing up militant Negro workers. The International Labor Defense has been warned by telegram from its southern organizer, Jennie Coop- er, who is now in Atlanta, Ga., that the Atlanta bosses and their press have seized upon this lynching and its rape charge to stir up sentiment against Newton and Storey. In Miami, Fla., another group of | the southern bosses, staged a vi-| cious attack on David Weinberg, a | local member of the I. L. D. Wein- berg was thrown from an automo-| bile into a downtown street early yesterday morning after being kid. | napped, brutally beaten, bound and | gaged and covered with tar and | feathers and then wrapped in a/ white, hooded garment. Taken to a hospital by passers-by | who picked him up, he was instant- ly placed under arrest by the Miami | police who made no effort to find those responsible for the outrage. | The police, who seem quite familiar | with the motives back of the attack, declared today he was attacked be- cause of his Communistic talk and | al advocating race equality. This attack is significant in view of the splen'‘d support | given the Atlanta derc*""s by the | Miami workers, many of them going hundreds of miles to attend meet- ings called to demand the uncondi- tional release of the six defendants. A statement issued by Louis Eng- dahl, national secretary of the I. L. D., denounces these two latest out- rages as deliberate attempts on the part of the southern bosses to stir) up lynching sentiment against New- ton and Brady and calls upon the workers, South and North, to defeat the murderous plans of the south- ern bosses. MOBILIZE T0 Local unemployed councils must everywhere take the initiative in rallying the workers from the neighborhood to return the furniture into the evicted workers’ home. These militant demonstrations are, how- ever, only the first step. Following these, which must become the ‘means of arousing great masses of workers for the struggle against evictions, great working class demonstrations involving thousands of workers must be arranged within and around the capitalist courts which are issuing the eviction orders. The courts of the bosses must be categorically told that their -eviction orders must stop, that they will not be obeyed, that an aroused working class is determined to pro- vide itself with shelter from the snow and cold of a rapidly approach- ' ing winter. Such demonstrations will make the bosses think twice before they continue their present eviction policy. Such demonstrations will also prepare the workers to continue the fight on a higher plane to meet any further repressive moves of the bosses. Forward to the struggle DEFEND U.S.S.R.!

USSR EXECUTES 48 IMPERIALIST SABOTAGEURS Counter Revolutionists Were in British Pay (Wireless by Inprecorr.) MOSCOW, Sept. 25.—The state political administration has discov- ered a counter-revolutionary organ- ization sabotaging meat and fish preserves, as well as vegetable sup- plies, and corresponding seetions in the trading commissariat. Seven- teen of the counter-revolutionists admitted that their object was to cause a famine and discontent among the workers, and to over- throw the proletarian dictatorship. Leaders of this organization are Professor Ryjasantev, former land- lord and Czarist major general, and Karatygin, pre-revolutionary chief editor of a Russian bourgeois paper. The organization included former czarist nobles, officers, fishdealers and manufacturers, as well as mem- bers of the Cadet (liberal capitalist party), Menshevists. Connection with white guard emigres and foreign capitalists who supplied money was exposed. The collegium of the state political ad- ministration was commissioned by the Soviet Union Executive Com- mittee and Council of People’s Com- missars to condemn to death Ry- asantev, Karatygin and 46 organ- izers who participated in the active counter-revolutionary sabotage. * Write as you fight!
