Only by a fight for the Work- ers’ Unemployment bill can we force the bosses to give us real relief. Only Communists in the state and federal forums of the bosses can fight for our interests. Jobless, Broke, Shoots Self Thru Head (By a Worker Correspondent) DENVER, COLO.—‘I shot meself. I am broke and out of work. Good- by.” Thus driven to black despair and not knowing of the need for Aghting the hunger system, Peter Metcheff, an unemployed worker, wrote the above on an envelope and then shot himself through the head. Thousands here are jobless, but suicide won't solve the question, It’s a fight for life now. The Republican, Democratic and “Socialist” parties are sworn to perpetuate this. The jobless must swing into the election campaign and send their reps, the Communists, inte the halls of Con- gress to tear bread from the grip of the bosses. Not “Wet” or “Dry,” but Food! Dayton, O.

Boss Parties : Speed World War Oakland, Cal. Daily Worker: Local news on war preparations. The V-6, one of the two largest sub- marines the U. S. Navy has just launched at the Mare Island Navy Yard. It is nearly 400 feet long— twice as long as the older S-Type. It mounts two large guns and has a sur- face speed of 21 knots. ee The annual armistice Army-Navy foothall game, played by local teams in the University of California sta- dium, will be “twice as big an affair” as any previous one, according to the Coast Army and Navy officials. This is no idle boast; this purely military advertising event has grown more elaborate each year lately, see The boss government preparations go on, fast and furious. This is a vital issue facing the workers in the elections. The parties of capitalist wars, Republican, Democratic, “So- clalists,” raise pacifism smoke screens, Only Communists fight bosses’ war. wW.c. Australia Would End Soviet Sheep Buying SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 80.— dustry there will destroy their par- tial monopoly.

This is Butler's state, where wage cuts and layoffs are piling up thick, with the A. F. of L. fakers, as in New Bedford, help- ing the official boss . parties carry out this program. The Massachusetts workers have got to swing into the elec- tion campaign and line up be- hind the Communist candidates to fight for their interests. $1,000 Bail for Eating 20c Food (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO.—Hungry, roaming the streets in a weary trudge daily, was John Shields. Hunger gnawed away at his stomach, making him feel weak, But still the endless rounds and fruitless search. In Scollay square he saw a lunch room, and now, desperate with hunger, he walked in and dared only to have a chicken sandwich and a cup of coffee. He had no money and told the proprietor so. Arrested, taken before Judge Duff of municipal_court, the farce of a $1,000 bail“was placed against him. He is charged with larceny. Thus the courts of the bosses throw hungry, jobless workers into jail for 20 cents worth of food, while rack- eteers, gangsters and the big bosses who rob the workers revel in lux- ury. This is the government of Thompson, of the Chicago bosses. The jobless fight is clearly a fight against the capitalist parties and a fight for Communist candidates. Chicago Workers Rally Against Fish War Plan (Continued from page 1) flimsiness of the accusations made against the Soyiet Union and show wherein they are simply another at- tempt, similar to the religious at- tack of a few months ago, to sty: up public sentiment in favor of an armed attack upon the Workers’ Fatherland. Still Preparing War The Fish committee, with the help of the news columns of the capitalist papers, whose policy is in this usual- ly at variance with their own finan- cial writers, continues to try by propaganda questions to make a basis for war on the U. S. 8, R. by “proving” that sales of Soviet wheat on the Chicago market were intended to “ruin the farmers’ prices. In Chicago, as in New York, Fish is having trouble whipping the grain brokers into line. Joseph P. Griffin, former president of the Board of Trade (Chicago wheat pit) and Chi- cago representative of J, S. Bach & Co., testified yesterday before the Fish committee, the same as Bach did in New York, that the Soviet sales were made in a way not to in- fluence the price, and that the 7,678,- 000 bushels sold could not lower the price anyway when sales were run- ning 60,000,000 bushels a day. Brokers Revolt The committee yesterday sadly heard President Bunnell inform them that the investigation ordered by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde had brought out only that the whole transaction was the acme of legality and normality, and that the Board of Trade had forbidden further govern- ment participation, partly because it ‘was now opposed to any government, “even the U. S. government,” enter- ing the market in competition to pri- vate traders, John L. Lewis, president of the shattered United Mine Workers, took the stand to denounce Communists, and so did M. S. Winder, executive secretary of the semi-gévernmental (Hyde-controlled) American Farm Bureau Federation. The war makers have less difficulty in rallying to their use these fakers and betrayers of labor and of the farmer than they do the big business men themselves. Vote Against Warmongers The Communist speaker at the Friends of Soviet Union meeting will urge the workers present to show their practical opposition to the war Plans by voting Communist in this election and thereby striking a blow at the capitalist imperialist system MILWAU. JOBLESS MUST FIGHT BOtS JUDGE, VOTE “RED Bosses Use Their Judge to Evict Thousands of Job- less Workers * Milwaukee, Wis. To the Editor of Daily Worker: From day to day the workers of Milwaukee are learning that while in words the capitalist politicians are “advocating” unemployment relief, in practice jailings and evictions are the order of the day for the jobless workers. Even the capitalist papers of this town are forced to admit 1,840 families have been “forcibly evicted” in the first six months of this year which is double the number of last | year. Judge Page, who has been on the | bench of the local district court tor |more than a dozen years, and who makes it a practice never to hold |court more than two to three hours |a day, has just returned from a much needed vacation of two months, | handing out with renewed vigor, |savage sentences to unemployed | workers on charges of “vagrancy,” “begging” and the like. One worker, after looking for a |Job until his last penny gave out, ready to drown himself in the lake, walked into a lodging house and asked to be allowed to stay there for |a week until he got a job. The owner answered by calling the police, and when the worker appeared in court, he was sent up for 30 days on a charge of “begging” to the house of correction which is already over- crowded to double the capacity, Negro workers brought into Page's court are convicted even before they appear as is shown by the case of one Negro. worker, although employed, was given 30 days on a charge of “vagrancy” without a trial. These are only examples of the treatment the workers. get from the. bosses’ courts in “socialist Milwaukee.” The Communist Party in the pres- ent election campaign is exposing the fake unemployment relief which the “progressives,” socialists and re- publican politicians talk about in their campaign speeches. The work- ers of this city are learning that their only solution is follow the leadership of the Communist Party and organ- ize for struggle against the system which breeds unemployment, .stiicide for the workers and more luxury for the bosses. “SOLIDARITY” IN GOOD NUMBER Articles on the latest development in Latin America, the unemployment crisis and the recent fascist attacks on the Workers’ International Relief Children Camps feature the October issue of Solidarity, just off the press.

Daciionn Sailor’s Story of His Trip In Soviet Union Have Interesting and Surprising Experiences, and Get Many New Ideas of Workers’ and Peasants’ State (Continued) The experiment at Gigant was commenced in 1928, The original program called for 10,000 hectares. | (One hectare is roughly two and a half acres.) The program was ex- ceeded by 2,000 hectares. Three hun- dred thousand roubles were spent for building purposes. In 1929, 60,000 hectares was plowed by untrained men, This yielded a poor harvest, due to severe drought. Three mil- lion, three hundred thousand (3,300,- 000) poods were produced (a pood is 36 pounds) an average of 65 poods per hectare, This was much below the normal figures, but the experi- ment was proving to be a success. For the same year the smaller col- lective farms produced 40 poods and the peasants only 30 poods per hec- tare. Seven thousand (7,000) workers were needed for the harvest. These were scattered around in different base camps and had to b féd by au- tos, Small tractors, Cletracks and Internationals mostly were used. These have now been replaced by 60 horse-power caterpillars. The total income was 6,500,000 roubles. After wages, oil, machinery, cost of seed grain, upkeep, depreciation, etc., had been deducted, there remained a pro- fit of 1,500,000 roubles. Eighty-five percent of the grain was used for seeding, The remainder for sale and consumption. One million, three hundred thousand (1,300,000) roubles were spent for building purposes and improvements. In 1980, 114,000 hec- tares were cultivated and the cost of seeding was cut down almost 50 percent.; from 7.17 roubles a hectare to 4.02 roubles. Six hundred tra tors, 450 harvestors, 230 combines and 150 binders are now in use. Although the area cultivated is al- most twice that of last year, only half the number of workers are re- quired. The remainder, profiting by the experience gained last year, are now establishing other state farms in various parts of the country. The crop this year is a good one of high grade grain. The units we saw be- ing harvested were yielding 88 poods ber hectare. The average wage of a worker this year is 85 roubles per month plus living accommodation, so- cial insurance, clothing, etc. As the profits of the farm increase, the wages automatically increase also. Judging from the appearance of the workers themselves, one can truth fully say that the are more than contented. At no time in the past have they been so well off as they are at present. This year 4,000,000 roubles are being spent on the farm, the plans next year calling for 160,- 000 hectares to be cultivated. In view of such evidence one can hardly say that Socialism cannot be carried out successfully in practice as well as in theory, One Surprise After Another We were told before leaving Gigant that a meeting would be held in Salisk that evening and that our presence was requested. The trip so far had been one surprise after another with each fresh surprise sur- passing the last one. The bizgest were yet to come. Just as we were embarking aboard our truck for the return trip to Salisk, four troopers galloped up. They infrmed our in- terpreters that a regiment of caval which turned out to be one of Bu- denny’s crack regiments — Budenny was a former corporal in the Czarist armies, now Commander ir? Chief of the cavalry of the Red Army—had been waiting in Salisk to greet us and as we were long overdue was now on its way out to meet us. « We asked ourselves, who were we to be so signally honored? Just com- mon sailors, But at present in a land where the ruling class is composed of workers and where the hand of friendship is extended to the workers of all nations. Ahead of us were several trucks loaded with people from Gigant bound in to Salisk. Sud- denly a sound of cheering drifted back to us on the breeze. We craned our necks to seo what it was all about and a long line of cavalry and field artillery appeared strung out over the plain. As we approached nearer the cheering and hurrahs were renewed and it gradually dawned on our bewildered minds that we were the main cause of the excitement! As we drew level with the column an- other and louder outburst greeted us. Did we return it? Tll say we did. The Prince of Wales in his most exalted moments never received a more genuine and spontaneous a re- ception than this! (To be Continued) 347 OF BRITISH TEXTILE WORKERS UNEMPLOYED NEW YORK, Sept. 30.—‘My view is that the bottom is gone out of our export trade,” said Arthur Shaw of the Bradford, England, dyers and finishers union, arriving to discuss the best means of scabbing at the A. F. of L. annual convention in Bos- ton as fraternal delegate from the British Trades Union Congress. “In the textile trade there are 456,000 operatives wholly or partly unem- ployed, or 34 percent of the 1,315,000 operatives in the country. The ex- port industries are suffering worst and there are no signs of improve- ment, “A Chicken in Every Pot, an Automobile in Every Garage” Such was the slogan of the Hoover campaign in 1928. What it really meant was wide-spread unemployment, wage cuts, ex- ploitation, misery, starvation,— and additional fortunes for the Parasites, Smash the capital- ist fakers! Vote Com- munist! LEAGUE AND FRANCE PLOT USSR EMBARGO PARIS, France, Sept. 30. — The League of Nations assembly at Geneva has voted a general “investi- gation of dumping” directed not only against the Soviet Union but against U. 8. and other grain exporting coun- tries. The French landowners and grain capitalists are calling on the govern- ment to impose prohibitory duties on Soviet wheat which is lowering the price of bread. The government can do this without new legislation, by arbitrary executive order under a century-old law, WARNS 5-YEAR PLAN WORKS WASHINGTON, D. C,—Secretary of State Stimson woke up September 29 to the necessity that he read an article in the October Scribner's, written by John Carter, economic ex- pert in the Division of Western Buropean Affairs, on “Russia’s Chal- lenge to American Busines For Carte™ declared that the Soviets’ five-year plan of industrialization is working. He warns American capi- talists that {t is unsafe to gamble on the failure of the Communists to make big business operate in their way. State Department officials said Carter had not shown his article to his superiors before publishing it, and that he would probably be ad- vised against publishing anything more.

The so: democ “Silesian Volkswacht” (“People's Guardian") writes: “But the victory of the communists is also great. They have succeeded in increasing their seats in the Reichstag by almost 40 percent, al- though the total increase of members | as a result of the considerably in- | creased poll was only 14 percent. All other parties, with the exception of the Centre (Catholic) Party, and of course, the fascists, have suffered defeats. social democracy has also suffered a, defeat, and this de- feat is not negligible, but a very serious one. In the new Reichstag the Social Democratic Party will have ses of the work- only 25 percent of the seats, against 31 percent in the last Reich- stag. That is a very serious weak~- ening of the position of our part: In this situation the attempts of the | “Vor erts |in rosy colors are more than uncalled for. Instead of advancing we have retrogressed, and that in a period when it counts very much.’ The social democratic Volkszeitung” writes: “The Social Democratic Party has gained nothing by the growth of the poll, The party has lost about 700,- 000 votes and this is a very serious reverse. The communists have won 22 seats and the greater part of the: gain is at the expense of the social democracy. Still further, they have made progress amongst those who are usually non-voters.” The remainder of the social dem- ocratic provincial press writes in the same strain. Only the “Vorwaerts” tries to pretend that all is well with the social democracy. “Leipziger BOSTON LL.D. FALL FESTIVAL BOSTON.—The Fall Festival ar- ranged by the Sacco-Vanzetti branch of the I, L.

By ALLAN JOHNSON’ When Paul Vaccarelii, strikebreak- er extraordinary, convicted gunman, rumrunner, ex-prizefighter, gang- leader, saloon-keeper and intimate friend of governors, mayors, and De- partment of Labor executives opened the new clubhouse of his Loyal Labor Legion at 3427 White Plains Avenue, among the more prominent of the gunmen and politicians who accepted invitations to the affair were: Governor Roosevelt, Mayor Walker, Aldermanic President Joseph McKee, Supreme Court Justice John McGee- han and Bronx Borough President Henry Bruckner, Included in the list of honorary members of this gun- m trikebreaker organization are Joseph Miller, Borough President of Manhattan, and appointed to the Supreme Court bench just a few days ago; Borough President Henry Bruckner; Commissioner William Weber, of the Board of Education; the Reverend James Gaffney, and Alderman J. J. Hanley.. * Gold: Medals to Labor Misteaders Every year the Legion proudly an- nounces it awards a gold medal to the “prominent labor representative who has done outstanding work in the interest of working people and organized labor in general.” Organ- ‘ized labor, Vaccarelli forgéts to men- tion, is. only one of the interests of the Legion, According to its consti- tution, the primary function of the club is to “promote good feelings be- tween employers and employees in | organized labor,” “Vacearelli's definition of “good feel- ings” doesn't coincide with that of workers, particularly striking work- G. O. P., Tammany and “Socialists” Join Gunmen in Strikebreaking Club ers, for it is generally believed by those who know him that when big- ger bullets are fired at strikers, Vac- earelli and his Loyal Labor Legion will fire them. € Vaccarelli and Green, Comra Vaccarelli, who is of course, presi- dent of the Legion, never makes a move without consulting the crooked misleaders who control the A, F. of L. A letter written about two months ago by Vaccarelli declared that “at a recent meeting the names of some prominent,men were put forth by members of the Loyal Labor Legion, atong them a very prominent inter- national president, but we wish to withhold the names at the present time, as I have communicated with President William Green of the Am- erican Federation of Labor, and other high officials of the labor movement, IN ORDER TO BE SET RIGHT AND NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES BE- FORE THE FINAL AWARD IS MADE.” (Emphasis ours.) Into this picture of gunmen, strike- breakers, rumrunners, Tammany chiefs and supreme court judges steps none other than Mathew Woll, vice-president of the A. F. of L., the ruling “59's” chief red-baiter and in- ventor of two-thirds of the :care stories concerning Soviet Russia. ‘When the New York Times next publishes a story to the effect that the Five-Year Plan has collapsed, or that revolting workers have set up barricades in Odessa, or that high Soviet officials insist on the right to Own at least thirty wives, or that hordes of starving children clutter up Moscow streets and interfere with traffic, a little detestive work will ti usually reveal that Mathew Woll has turned newspaper correspondent again. Vaccarelli and Mathew Woll It is in the nature of capitalist things that Woll and Vaccarelli should be colleagues. Their ends are the same. Each profits personally by helping the “59” drive America’s workers deeper into the hell of capi- talist exploitation, Their methods vary but slightly. Vaccarelli is the “strongarm” man. Woll is more “refined” in his tactics. Vaccarelli uses blackjacks and bul- lets. Woll uses cunning and conse- quently is able to mobilize the en- tire capitalist press, the. New York Times in particular, whenever he needs it. But the point is that they both need each other and they both use each other and each other's or- ganizations, Last year’s annual picnic of the Loyal Labor Legion was held on Labor Day. The guest of honor was Mathew Woll. He was accompanied by Congressman La Guardia, Edward F. McGrady, Special Organizer of the A. F. of L. Amid a great deal of speechmaking and backslapping, Mc- Grady was tendered the gold medal offered every year by the Legion to the “prominent labor representative who has done outstanding work in the interest of working people and organized labor in general.” Let us examine this “outstanding work.” Woll Destroys Union When the Fur Workers’ Union was under left-wing leadership, Woll de- cided to destroy it and reorganize it 48 & company union, The “reorgans ization committee’ was comprised of himself, MeGrady and Joseph Ryan, head of the Central Labor Council in New York. This “reorganization committee” hired gunmen, cops and judges by the dozen. When the company union was finally formed, McGrady was made its head, a though Woll continued to pull the strings. McGrady’s right hand man was “Big Alex” Fried, a gunman who had recently finished a jail sentence in Boston for a jewelry robbery. In June 1927, photostatic documents were obtained proving that the new union organized by Woll had bailed gunmen, who had murderously as- saulted left-wing strikers. Yaker, Woll's chief agsistant in the taking over of the union, was indicted for a gangland murder only about six months ago. Vaccarelli knew what he was doing when he gave the gold medal to McGrady at Wo! request. Woll Uses “Socialist” The picture wouldn't be at all com- plete if the “socialists’” connection with Woll were omitted. Samuel Markowitz, lawyer for almost all the corrupt socialist-led company unions in New York, was appointed counsel of the new union by Woll, When left-wing fur workers were arrested by the hundreds during the 1927 fur strike, this same Markowitz, to present the situation | « | wife, Ruth Hale, Execute 40 Young Men And Women Suspected Of Communism in China (Wireless by In| HANKOW, Sept. young persons were executed here on suspicion of belonging to thé Communist Part Not one was over twenty years of a) corr) four “SOCIALIST IN BOSSES’ RACKET Broun a Prostitute for Boss Press (Continued from page 1) Broun, just how much money YOU make like Winchell makes his; how much from your col- umn and other sources?
