BRONX JOBLESS RAISE DEMANDS Hear Exposure of the Tammany Racket The members of the 1622 Bathgate Ave. Unemployed Branch appeared at the front of the Bronx Registration Offices, where they spoke to the workers, who gathered there by the thousands in the hope of getting a job. They explained that the whole registration is a fake election stunt of Tammany Hall and that the work- ers will not get jobs, or relief, unless they organize themselves and demand immediate unemployment relief, or jobs at union wages. Many workers responded to an in- door meeting, where the demands of the unemployed were drawn up by them and they decided to participate in the organization of the November 2nd Hunger March and they will pre- sent their demands to Borough Pres- ident Bruckner 's, Harry staff, these lecting em in a strategic tr Vot Many joined the Unemployed Branch which is carrying on a day to day activity against evictions, for immediate relief, for the establish- ment of a number Station and to carry on the fight for Unemployment Insurance, the bosses and the U.

To be sure it would be too bad for the | bosses of this city to have as borough president a known corruptionist, who |sought favors. As long as nobody knows what he had done, or might do, it would not matter. Still Car- ngton would fit in nicely with the |grafters in City Hall, wheiher he is| republican or democratic. But Nor- man Thomas is worried about the| morals of capitalist officials. Carrington did not withdraw—his | master, Mr. Koenig, even chastising the republican functionaries for showing a tendency ‘to desert him. If | Koenig is satisfied with Carrington, | Police Arrest Strikers) what the hell have the ward heelers | to say? “If you don't like the can-| didates that the party chieftains put up, then get out of the party.” Thus Koenig—but that section of Wall Street which is republican, can- not afford at this time to have open grafters on its ticket. Hence there is a switch—not to Tammany. No—} Wall Street switches to something that is just as safe: Norman Thomas, Mrs. James Russell Parson, repub- lican leader, throws in her lot with Thomas. Endorsing Baldwin and Moffat, she states that the three of them—Thomas Baldwin and Moffat —would “form a real nucleus about which to build better government.” Mr. Wickersham, the well known lawyer, states that “public-spirited | citizens will have a real nucleus round which to work.” Splendid testimonial! “Better government”— for whom? For the workers? Thom- as and representaties of Hoover's Teapot Dome party—the party re- sponsible for the steal of more than $100,000,000 worth of oil lands, with Hoover sitting complacently in the cabinet when the steal was effected.

The three would be a; exposes the fake campaign carried on | nice nucleus for the bosses, for they | do not fear Thomas. safe—for as the World-Telegram, when endorsing Thomas, wrote (Oct. 30): “Socialists are no longer ogres with which the major political par- ties can scare their more liberal- minded children.” How true! Therefore, the N. Y. Times, the World-Telegram and the Tribune support Thomas. The Citizen's | Union, the Brooklyn Bar Association endorse Thomas. What better capi- | talist support could Thomas ask? He serves the bosses well and they have given him his reward. Has it come unsolicited? Do the bosses give en-/ dorsement for that which is not in their interest? Any workers knows botter—but Thomas prétends to be a leader of the workers. He is put) forward to fool, betray the workers. | The Citizen's Union also endorses Shiplacoff. Therefore, workers, be- | ware, when the bosses support those | whom you consider working class | out on strike and were later joined by | — leaders. Mc- | at an} | Mussolini Orders Mass Pay Cuts for Italian Workers Italian fascism, under the di- | rect supervision of Mussolini, Sat- |urday ordered wholesale wage |euts of around 10 per cent for | all industrial workers and many |farm laborers. This is not the | first time that Italian fascism, the | land that serves as the fascist | | model for the other capitalist | powers, has eut wages. .Recently a 12 per cent cut was ordered for millions. Mussolini says “further wage cuts” will be necessary. Coupled with the growing wage | ents in the United States, England and Germany, it clear that there is a world-wide) attack on | | the workers at precisely the time when in the Soviet Union wages are continuously going up. is ATTACK STRIKERS ATH & M KNITTING as Gangsters Allowed to Go Scott, Free NEW YORK typical example of the strikebreaking role of the New York police was shown October 31 at the H. & M. Knitting Mills, 210 Var- ret St., Brooklyn, where the workers are on strike under the leadership of the Industrial Union against a lock- out. The boss engaged the notorious Fisher gang in order to terrorize the workers. On the first day of the strike, the gangsters armed with knives and blackjacks made a vicious attack on the stikers, injuring S. Perlman and a passerby. Friday, noon hour as the workers were pick- eting, another assault was made which resulted in injuring two strik- ers—Sam_ Steinhar and Herman Atotsky, Both workers were taken to Kings County Hosnital. This as was carried through in the presence | and with the protection of the police. Other workers who witnessed the attack went to the police station and demanded the arrest of the gangsters. lInstead of arresting th thugs, the police placed these workers, as well as two injured workers under arrest. Three workers have been released on $1,500 bail. This open strike-breaking on the part of the New York police clearly by Mayor Walker and Commissioner rying on their publicity the Police Department of New York City is lopenly collaborating especially |against striking workers. | The needle trades workers as well as all other militant workers must an- | Swer these attacks by rallying to the | support of the strikers of the H. & M. and help rout out the gangsters as well as the entire Tammany gang. The strike against the Robinhood Hat Co., 65 W. 39th St., which in or- | der to evade union conditions locked | out the workers and signed an agree- ment with the racketter Amalga- mated, an organization formed by the bosses, is entering in its third week. The attempt of the bosses to break the strike through an injunction will have no effect on the strikers, who this shop who are members of the Industrial Union were the first to go the operators who forced their offi- The bosses of Great Britain also|cials of Local 24 to declare the shop allowed the British (socialist) labor | government to rule, when they need- ed workers’ representatives to put across wage cuts, cutting of the dole, | murder of the workers and peasants | of the colonial countries. They kept Ramsay MacDonald in government— | and have made him prime minister once more, now that the government | will become fascist. Why not? Do| not the socialists prepare the way for open fascism? Are they not, for this | reason, social fascists? Norman Thomas is part of the| same international as MacDonald, | Henderson, Noske and Blum. They all support the capitalist system, no matter what they may chatter about socialism, The bosses know it and therefore the endorsement of Mrs. | Parsons, Wickersham, the World- Telegram, Times and Tribune—and the statement that the socialists are not “ogres” hit the nail. Or as Emil Seidel said: “We (the socialists) _would do the same if we were in the same situation”—-which applies to the MacDonald path that Thomas and the socialists are treading—as Reading, Milwaukee and _ Racine, | Wisc., testify. | working class endorse so-called work- | ing class representatives, don’t ask |about the so-called working class | representatives! | The endorsement of the capitalist | |press, @ section of the republican | | the Citizen's Union and the should | party Bar Association |make it clear to every worker the socialist party has nothing to do with the working class, except to con- tinue to betray it.
