Sim- cians. ilarly, tomatoes were bought at $29.75 a bushel; lima beans $22.59 a bushel, squash $1.50 a piece.

Some Workers and poor farmers will be fooled into- supporting this scheme, It is simply a fight between two different sets of thieves. The “independents” squeezed by the big- ger fellows squeal because they lose profits. They have of course no in- tention of helping the unemployed and poor farmers. It is simply a fight to see which capitalist group shall rob the workers, Workers Homes Sold ~ ‘Trenton, N. J, Daily Worker:— j ) An American ex-soldier sent in the llowing to the Trenton Times: “rer ently T read that 900 homes were old for taxes. I believe that we should bolish the law which permits sher- 1's sales on property of the jobless, roperty-owners and home-owners.” , It is not necessary to abolish the aw to prevent such sales. The work- rs themselves can prevent this cut- age, since this law is only used gainst the workers, The Trenton| for Taxes In Trenton Traction Corporation did not pay its taxes for years. Only for 1928 and 1929, the city commission itself, ad- mits, they owe $149,000 and yet their property 1s not being sold. In the coming city elections on May lath the workers must vote for those people who do not cater to the bos- ses and their crooked corporations.

They ad- mitted their Menshevik affiliation in pre-revolutionary labor movement. (There were, however, three excep- tions. They were ex-pre-revolution- ary Bolsheviks who defected toMen- shevik traitors.) For anyone super- ficially knowing the history of the Russian Social Democratic Party and not forgetting or ignoring the same on the anti-Soviet grounds this in- formation regarding the twenty-five to thirty years’ affiliation of most of the defendants with social democracy comprises the self-evident proof. At- tempts to deny the leading role of Groman, Sukhanov, Ikov or Sher in the history of the Menshevik move- ment and the Menshevik betrayals of the Social democratic affiliation of Kautsky, Otto Bauer or Leo Blum, By admitting firmly or trem- | bling, the Menshevik affiliation of the defendants, volens nolens, deliv- | ered first a blow to the colleagues of the Second Internationa] and Men- | shevik emigrants who brazenly deny | lin the Berlin “Vorwaerts” that the | | defendants are Mensheviks, Since al! the defendénts without exception mitted thitir return to the Men- | of the counter-revolutionary j®nd sabotage action in 1927 they ob- | | jectively prepared the next blow to | |the Social Democratic slander. * .

Krilenko requested the summon- ing of other witnesses to prove that the defendants were conducting wrecking activities, namely, Gyozdev, Nekrassov and Zheludkov. The court conceded after a short conference, The defendants requested no wit- nesses. The indictment was read. Twenty bourgeois correspondents were present. All defendants Clea guilty with- out reservation. . | . | | | | (Special Cable to Daily Worker.) -Atter reading the indictment, which required three hours, each de- fendant was asked individually whether he pleaded guilty on the charges read. One after the other, without exception, they answered af- firmatively to this most important question, saying briefly; “Yes,” or wane I plead guilty.” this question and answer, its entire importance became clear to all who saw how Groman, after he answered tively in a trembling voice return tumbling into his seat, low- ering his head, dodging the gaze of thousands of workers in the hall and resuming his seat with bent head. Likewise for all the other defen- dants. It was evidently very hard to publicly plead guilty, which act will be of great importance for judg- ing their entire life and deeds.

Sher was then a member of the Mensheyvik fraction of the Soviet Central Executive in Leningrad, but discontinued activity after the Octo- ber victory without formally leaving the Menshevik party, He was dis- satisfied with the Menshevik political line, considering it insufficiently counter-revolutionary and undeter- mined. Soon after the revolution he started working in the Centrosoyous (Central Council of Coaperative Ser ‘cleties), a Menshevik nest, most of their activity facilitating " capitalist, restoration. ‘The direct questioning of Krylenko, Soviet prosecutor, brought out startl- ing points. Krylenko asked the de- fendant’s position of the desirability of foreign and armed intervention. Sher endeavored first to evade the question, but later, as an example of the practical position indicated the measures of the Menshevik Cent~ rosoyous management in supporting foreign intervention in 1918. He took active part in fulfilling the decision of the Centrosoyous Mensheviks in supplying provisions to all areas un- der counter-revolutionary occupation. The defendant answered “no” to the prosecutor's question as to whether the Menshevik central organ ever opposed party members who openly | favored armed intervention, She's. further testimony related to Men+ shevist activity in 1922 following the failure of intervention and the begin- ning of the New Economic Policy, He worked jointly with the Men- shevik group at whose behest and | leadership was organized the cooper- ative Vsekoles (All Russian Lumber | Cooperative), under the guise of} | which they carried on Menshevik | agitation and organization gathering Mensheyik forces, and founding a party nuclei in important economic | institutions, Sher’s attempt to restore the Men- shevik printer’s organization failed. The Menshevik attempts to establish @ proletarian basis proved futile, Sher therefore concentrated more on anti- Soviet pro-Menshevik intellectuals, especially since 1923, when he was given a position on the State Bank Board of Directors, which he oecu- pied until 1930. The Menshevik pol- icy being collaborated with other anti-Soviet parties, Sher established close contact with the social-revolu- tionaries and the so-called popular socialists, working in the State Bank, or other Soviet institutions. When the Menshevik Berlatski, Ukewise a member of thé Board of Directors, of the State Bank, went to America in 1926, Sher instructed him to con- fer with Dan and Abramovitch, lead» ing counter-revolutionists ouside of Bank activities, and asking for in- structions regarding further activity, and the creation of a basis for find- ing ways and means, On his return from America, Ber- latski met Dan in Berlin; giving pre- cise, written and oral instructions to recruit responsible Soviet officials to widen the New Policy and to promote capitalist economic forms, Dan sent. a document, empowering Sher as Moscow representative of the ~acting wherever necessary. Sher | affirmed Krylenko's question whether Dan knew him pérsonally, Krylenko United States for this end.

It was so raw that some of the more shame-faced fakers in the So- clalist party objected. Dr. Ingerman, @ direct representative of the Men- sheviks in Russia, spoke. “He de- clared his doubt of the Five-Year Plan,” writes the New Leader of his speech, That is, he told the Social- ists now is the time to aid inter- vention because his associates are helping to smash the Five-Year Plan. He also hoped that the voice of the conference would be heard “across the ocean.” He wanted Groman, Sheer and Company to get a little more confidence in their wrecking work, knowing - Hillquit, Oneal, Thomas & Co, were behind them. This is just a small part of the} counter-revolutionary activity of the Socialists in the United States. No amount of lying will be able to cover up their open support to the plans for war against the Soviet Union in a vicious attempt to bolster up totter- ing world capitalism, MANVILLE JENKES IN BANKRUPTCY PROVIDENCE, R.

Manville Jenckes is the .concern against which the Gastonia strike was fought in 1929. Manville Jenckes hired gunmen raided the tent colony of the strikers after Chief of Police Aderholt was shot. Manville Jenckes’s gunmen (‘Committee of 100”) killed Ella May, and committed dozens of acte of violence against workers, flogging, kidnapping, attempts to lynch, etc. The Manville Jenckes Co. | attorney, Major Bulwinkle, directed the prosecution of the Gastonia trial. and got 20 year sentences for National Textile Workers Union leaders and Gastonia strikers. The company has mills in Provi- }dence, Pawtucket, Manville, Woon- | socket and Georgiaville (all in Rhode Island) and at Gastonia in -North | Carolina. As much as workers might be cheered by the news that this mur- derous gang of slave drivers has failed. the news so far does not bear this out. The mill Is to continue running under the recievership, and it is most probable that what has taken place is extensive grafting by inner rings of stockholders, and a@ reciev- ership forced by one faction.

Mosley Resigns from Labor Party Stage Set for Fascist Party LONDON, March 1. — The final step in the natural evolution of Sir Oswald Mosley from a social-fascist to an out-and-out fascist occurred today with his resignation from the social-fascist British Labor Party } and his announced intention of or- | ganizing a new party. The new party will be a fascist party and will have the support of a substantial bloc of British financiers who believe that the time is short in which the British Labor Party can successfully continue its treach- erous role as the defender of Brit- ish imperialism and its hangman in the colonies. These see the need cf @ more open and brutal capitalist dictatorship and have rallied to ths support of “Manifesto” Mosley. This objective is being covered up with such phrases as the need of transforming parliament “from talkshop into a workshop”, “natiqnal Planning”, etc. Under these and | other fake phrases, Mosley is mak- ing a desr-rate attempt to rally the youth of Great Britain to support of his reactionary program. In the meantime, a lerge group of British financiers are still depending upon the willing social-fascist Labor Party to pull them out of the de- pression by saddling the British workers and especialy the enslaved colonial masses with: the burdens of the crisis. Cut. Out Weekly Wages for Salesgirls Kansas, City, Me, Daily Worker:— The conditions of the working wo- men in this city are simply terrible. In almost all of the big department stores, the girls are now working on a commission basis. Before, they did not get a living wage, and now they get less, In Woolworth’s dime store the girls work nine and ten hours a day for about nine dollars a week. They stand on their feet all day long, and on the hard concrete at that. The law forces the company to furnish stools for the girls to sit on behind the counter, but if a girl is caught sitting down, she is canned. When business is slack and the girls have no customers to Wait upon they must tear up the counters they have arranged and rearrange them, in order to be busy all the time. If a girl is caught talking to her partner she is told about {t in no uncertain terms. The floorwalkers or the bosses are not allowed to visit the sales-girls or have anything to do with them.
