The politicians, from Walk- er through his “secretary and agent,” Sherwood, who is known to have, tak- en at least $1,000,000; Doyle, Farley, McQuade and the endless list—will continue to fill their pockets, in trne boss fashion. Thus the unemployed will starve—while the bosses and their parties are shedding tears about the misery of the unemployed, are amount holding big dinners to eat for the unemployed; while Walker goes to Harlem and makes big promises about what he will do for the unem- | ployed, etc. The Communist Party is the only party that has a clear-cut program for the unemployed of this country. The Communist Party demands that the city of New York appropriate out of the unheard-of budget of more than $631,000,000, $200,000,000 for un- employed relief—$150 for each unem- ployed worker as winter relief, and $50 for at least one dependent. This shall be taken out of the present budget, and in order to achieve it, the following shall be done: the sa aries of all officials shall be cut to a maximum of $5,000.

Seabury is a rich lawyer who in- herited millions from his exploiting father. He classes himslf as an “in- dependent” democrat, thus trying to make the workers think that this capitalist party is not as bad as the open graft of Tammany Hall makes so clear. In the present crisis Seabury is per- forming a necessary job for capital- ism, To do it he must dig up some of the graft, though he is partic- larly careful to place “individual” responsibility. He scraps a few lice off the Tammany tiger. He does not want to blame the capitalist parties or the system for it, He knows the workers:are losing faith in capitalism, ® year.

The Communist Party strike-breaking purposes. The Com- munist Party demands that all con- tracts be sifted, the graft be cut out, | and thus at least $100,000,000 can be taken from the city budget for the re- Hef of the unemployed. In addition, | proposes a} the Communist Party graduated tax on all incomes above $5,000, and a levy on all capital of $100,000 and above. In this way the fund of $200,000,000 can be raised. But this fund shall not be adminis- tered by the crooks and grafters, who sit in city hall, but by a commission | representing the Unemployed Coun- cils, unions, etc. The boss politicians sav that the Communists are dreamers. These politicians only know about hunger from the newspapers, by going to the registration places, or now by going | into the neighborhoods to so! it votes. ‘They have nothing to do with the | working class, except to rob it. The | Communist Party, the only party rep- resenting the working class, make: the demands that the workers put up. | The Communist Party, in addition, tells the workers that only by organ- jing into the Unemployed Councils and fighting for relief, will the work- ers get what they demand. The Com- munist Party is organiing the work- ers for these demands, and will con- tinue the fight through the winter, in spite of police terror, laws against “voluntary idlers,” as introduced by McKee, against forced labor—all out. side workers will be forced to saw wood before they ian get relief, against the derision not to register or give work to unemployed workers of 20 years and under; against discrimi- nation against the foreign-born and particularly the Negro workers. This is the fight that the Communist Party pledges to the workers—and for this reason alone the workers will vote for the Communist Party as the only party fighting for the interests of the 1,000,000 unemployed of New York. There is no factory or shop in which the workers have not suffered one wage cut after the other, The general wage slashing campaign i on, the bosses being determined to cut the wages to the bottom. The building trades workers are not get- ting the scale. Not 5 per cent get the scale even for a few months of the year. The majority of them get $5.a day for a few days a week, a few months of the year. The needle, food, metal, textile office workers all are having their wages cut to the hone. Women and girls are working for $6 a week. The bosses who are cutting the wages, and preparing for mags lay-offs, are asking te workers -) to contribute from their earnings for unemployment elief; 2) to spend their wages freely, as a means of “bringing back prosperity.” * |fights for the unity of the working class, native and foreign born, white | and Negro, young and adult, men and women—one united working class, employed and unemployed, fighting for the interest of the working class against the bosses, their government and their tools in the ranks of la- por. And in support of this growing | unity, the workers of New York are |supporting the program and cam- paign of the Communist Party and will Vote Communist on election day. Unable to find any way out of the crisis, except to throw crumbs to the unemployed, to cut wages, to terror- |ize the workers—while filling their own pockets with profits and divi- dends, with graft and corruption— the bosses are preparing for war— while talking disarmament. This is |some more of their two-faced meth- ods. They are building the air fleet. with all kinds of secret devices for destroying whole populations. They are inventing and producting in tre- mendous quantities gases, chemicals, bombs, with which to wipe out en- tire populations. U. S. imperialism is leading the fight against British im- perialism the world over. With the aid of French imperialism, Great Britain is to be reduced to a second rate.power. In Manchuria the scene of the coming war is being laid. Ja- pan with the aid of U. 8. imperialism lis invading China, threatening the Soviet Union, and with definite aim of destroying the Chinese Soviets, which today control 70,000,000 work- ers and peasants. War against the Soviet Union is on |the horizon—war against the only | country in the world, that has no un- jemployment, no wage cuts, no long 3 s lout the country, a need of 2,000,000 | workers for the new factories that lare being opened up etvery week, |with the 7-hour day, 6 hours for young workers; with increasing lei- sure and well-being for the masses of | 160,000,000 workers and peasants. The | Soviet Union shows the only way out lof the crisis—it shows the way that |the workers in the capitalist and co- }lonial countries must go—the way of revolutionary struggle against the |damnable capitalist system of hun- | ger, starvation, wage cuts, misery, |The worl s of New York hungry, | suffering wage cuts, filling the hos- | pitals and jails, their children starv- | lin, hundreds of thousands of these Hworkers who have been through the |last world war, that promised ‘pro- | sperity” and “democracy” know what this war means. It is a war made by the same bosses and their govern- jment that here, and will want to send them is starving the workers but wage increases through- | unemployment and hunger. Hence Seabury is chosen—even with the capitalism city government—not of grafters or graft, but of the bad name it Has with the workers. Be- cause of his boasted “honesty,” that is, his source of graft is through the usual channels of exploitation and grinding down the workers, instead of open robbery, Seabury is played up to the skies by the capitalist press. The New York capitalist press re- yeals in the Seabury “disclosures.” workers and peasants of the Soviet Union, The Communist Party is the only party that organizes and leads the workers against the coming war. It is preparing them to declare civil war against their imperialist war. It is mobilizing the workers for defense of the Soviet Union against the war | plans of the imperialist powers. The “socialist” party shows its stand. When the workers and peas- ants of India fought for their inde- pendence, they were shot down by the soldiers sent against them by the “socialist” Ramsay MacDonald; when the workers and peasants of Cyprus rose in insurrection against starva- tion, MacDonald sent troops against them. When the British bosses wanted | to cut wages, and lower the unemi- |ployment insurance, the British La- | bor party (“socialist”) put it through. When the German government want- |ed to cut wages and cut the dole, | the social democrats were their best aides. This is the position of the “so- | clalist” party, as carried out through the “socialist” administrations with their “socialist” police in Reading, | Pa., Racine and Milwaukee, Wis. This |is the “socialist” party—the third party of capitalism, the bitterest en- emy of the Soviet Union. Workers of New York: There is only one choice; either the hunger | program of Hoover, Roosevelt, Walk- -er Wall Street aided by the “social- \ist” party—or the program of strug- |gle and fight of the Communist | Party. This is the only choice—either | starvation, or struggle. The wdtkers of New York will support the strug- | gle as the only ‘way out of the crisis. | They will Vote Communist on elec- {tion day, send Communist workers to the legislative halls to carry on the fight there, while the Communist Party will organize the workers for unemployment relief and insurance, |against wage cuts and speed up, |against discrimination against for- | eign born and Negro workers, against | another imperialist slaughter, for de- |fense of the Soviet Union, and for |the overthrow of the whole capital- ist system of starvation and plunder.

The Tammany Hall fakers, under the leadership of Governor Roosevelt of New York, also are making a grandstand play for the presidency. While basically there is no difference between the two par- ties, the control of the-apparatus, the division of the local ‘and state spoils by the various machines, are. prizes they fight for vigorously. Tammany. Hall and the democratic party are preparing a campaign of demagogy, utilizing the mass hunge of the workers to put a democratic into the presidency to continue the policy of Hoover—that is, of Wall Street. Struggle of Aparatus To block this campaign and to preserve his apparatus in power, Hoover and the Republican politi- cians are struggling to undermine the Tammany machine which they regard as a lever that may pull them out of control. Within the State of New York, in preparation for the local elections, the: Republican snipe. at some of the graft of Tammany Hall in order to keep the workers dodging back and forth from the Republican and Democratic parties, or at most making excursions to the Socialist party, in order that they may not lose faith in the capitalist politicians or in the’ capitalist state structure. A Few Choice Stinks In the process many things are brocght out. The capitalist papers print the proceedings as’ unusual news. They stick in some moralizing editorials about the strike individuals who blight the good name of the city. Norman Thomas takes Seabury to his bosom and advises him how to clean up the capitalist government. But the workers are not told the truth. The real significance of the Decaying situation is left untouched. Seabury has only one object in mind—pre- serving the “dignity,” the sham screen. of “fairness,” bility” of the capitalist government apparatus. He wants a ‘pure” judi- cial system to send the workers to jail. He wants a “clean” police de- partment to club down workers on strike and unemployed. He wants an “upright” city administration to re- fuse unemployment relief. All this Seabury and his backers consider necessary in this time of sharpening crisis and sterner class battles. What Can Be Learned | . But in raking around the mess of the Seabury investigation the work- ers can learn some things. To accom- lish his job Seabury is forced to bring to light a few truths. When ‘the capitalist politicians realize that 42,500 workers in New York City sign petitions to place the Communist Party on the ballot, when they see the unemployed growing more militant in their demand for unemployment insurance, they begifi the “inviola- | BY GROPPER Capitalism plays which were puffed up by the capitalist newspapers, the Seabury investigators picked out some of the small grafters of Tammany Hall and put them through the grind. What was happening inthe meanwhile? Since the Hofstader committee was | formed unemployment grew by leaps and bounds. The number of starving families was growing; wage cuts upon wage earners; the ponu|Mfil upon wage cuts; the Communist Party was entering the election cam- |paign calling on the workers to vote as they fight, for the Communist | Party. The world crisis of capitalism |and the rise of Socialist construction in the Soviet. Union, was making it |more difficult for the capitalist par- |ties to fool the workers. Hoover's |many “plans” for ending the crisis flopped faster than they were set up. Governor Rédosevelt had entered the | drive for the presidency in true fak- ers’ style, He set up a “fund” of $20,000,000 for “unemployment _re- lief,” as bait for the unemployed. To counteract this, Seabury started in to produce against Tammany Hall. to look around for fake issues to In summing up the “results” of mislead the workers and to keep |the Seabury revelations every work- them from working-class action. \er must remember that Tammany The Seabury investigation was |Hall is not unusual. The startling started by the New York State Re- publicans who formed the Hofstadter committee and hired Samuel Sea- bury, millionaire lawyer, to shoot off the fireworks. The most important matters which confront the workers, Seabury, of course will not investigate. He will not touch on the starvation of ,800,- 000 New York unemployed workers. He will keep his hands off the $200,000,000 graft in the Bank of the United States. The millions in graft in the New York city budget Seabury will leave untouched. For a long time, the Seabury com- mittee put on a circus trailing after a spectacular horse doctor who col- lected grafting fees which he dis- tributed among Tammany officials. Nothing came of it.

In Illinois the Thompson Republican machine, as well as the Cermak outfit, know every trick of Tammany Hall. Hoo- over himself can duplicate the graft- ing record of Sheriff Farley or Mc- Quade, or the many others we will mention in Tammany Hall. Seabury, while he thought he was exposing the methods of Tammany Hall, in reality was uncovering the usual functioning of the capitalist political machinery from the city administra- tions up to the Federal goyerriment. Magic Tin Box The most striking case of graft brought out was that of (Sheriff Thomas M. Farley. On Oct. 6, 1931, the heavy jowoled sheriff began to tell of his dealings. Though the sheriff's salary for the past six years amounted from $6,500 to $15,000 a year, he deposited $369,660.34 in the bank, The sheriff ran a gambling house in one of the Tammany clubs. *To hide the source of his graft, the Sheriff told all sorts of fairy stories. He said the money he deposited came from a tin box that |never seemed to be empty. He kept the |tin box at home. When he was finally shoved into a corner about the original source of this magic tin box, Farley said he “earned” his money as businéss agent of a union. For years, he said, he worked for the Cement and Concrete Workers Union, and out of them he got his hundreds of thousands of dollars. Little Gratters; Big Graft Every Tammany politicians that got on the stand haa a mysterious bank account. Here are what a few of them deposited in graft while millions of New York unemployed starved: James A, McQuade, Register of | | Kings County, deposited $510,597- .35; Michael J. Cruise, City Clerk, $143,758.76, and Harry C. Perry, Chief Clerk of the City Court, $135,061.50, The total $789,417 de- posits, of which $435,224 was in cash, were $21,000 over their com- bined salaries. Mayor Walker's personal graft- | bookkeeper disappeared and was jfound in Mexico on a honeymoon. So the workers never learned the exact number of millions Walker grafted, It is not necessary to wait until the end of the Seabury investigation to know what will happen. There will be a few “goats.” Grafting will be made safer and more _ systematic. The big Wall Street bankers get their share through the heavy flota~ tion of city bonds. | Wipe Out the Mess! ‘The main idea of Seabury is that jof the Socialist Party—namely, to put a white mask on the ugly face TRADE UNION UNITY COUNCIL Working men and women! The Trade Union Unity Council of Greater New York at its last session, on Oct. 25th, 1931, unanimously en- dorged the program and candidates of the Communist Party in Greater New York, as the only one of all the parties in the field that truly represents the interests of the work- ing people, What are the working men and/ women of this country and city suf-| fering from in the main? They suf- fer from unemployment and part time employment, speed up and wage cuts. Which of the parties has a program that meets the needs of the working people on this question? <A careful examination of the program and ac- tions of the democratic, republican, Socialist and Communist Party, shows that the Communist Party is the only one that not only talks in favor of the working people, but being com- posed itself of working men and hay- | ing a working men’s program is or- ganizing them to fight for the work- ers’ economic as well as political in- | terests. It is the Communist Party that presented to the State and Federal Government a bill for cash relief in the form of free unemployment in- surance paid by the government at the expense of the rich. Hundreds of thousands of working men and working women, black and white, re- ligious and Red, have voted for this bill. What have the republican and democratic parties in control done about it? Theyar e against it. What |has the: socialist party done to join this fight. Nothing. What has the American Federation of Labor, which in New York is an agent of the dem- ocratic party done about it? Follow- ing the footsteps of their political bosses of Tammany, the Federation | has fought against it. | CALLS UPON MASSES TO VOTE COMMUNIST AT POLLS TODAY You, working men and women, who are unemployed or may be unem- ployed tomorrow. Do you realize that they, the democrats, republicans and socialists controlled by the bosses, are in favor of the wage cuts, pretending that more misery for the working people means prosperity! Don’t you see it—it means prosperity fer the boss class, but not for you. Do they represent you with their wage-cuts— prosperity? No. Why play dumb by voting for your enemies? What about. the hundreds of millions of dollars spent yearly to keep up and make the grafting politicians of these parties rich and to keep up the gangsters in and out of police uniform, who beat up strikers and pickets, instead of giving this money to relieve the un- employed? Is it not clear that vot- ing for them means to vote against yourself? Don't Lose Your. Vote The politicians tell you not to vote for the only candidates that repre- sent the working people in this elec- tion. These are the candidates of the Communist Party of the United States. They say if you yote for them you lose ,our vote. But if you vote for the democrats, republicans or socialists, you not only lose your vote, but vote against yourself and for your enemies. You vote for those that plot night and day against your interests, that cut your wages, throw you out of work. You vote for the leeches that thrive on the misery of the working people. Indeed, we too say, don’t lose your vote, and the way not to lose it is to vote for the candidates of your own people, the working people, and those are the candidates of the Communist Party.

Morris Hillquit, rich lawyer, uses the capitalist courts to get injunc- tions against the workers. William ‘Karlin does the same—Oharles Solo- mon got the injunction against the food workers at Miller's market in the Bronx. The pholice enforced the injunetion and murdered Steve Ka- tovis—th result of a socialist injunc- tion. Sidney Hillman and Benjamin Schlossberg, socialist leaders of hte Amalgamated Clothing Workers, use thhe police and thugs to break strikes. Kaufman and Schlesinger, sdcialists, in the other A. F. of L. needle unions, break strikes withthe aid of the police and gangsters. The ssocialists talk about graft. Hillman, the ssocialist, is accused of misusing $1,000,000 of the workers money in speculation, in paying gangsters and the underworld. Or- lofsky and Beckerman, . socialists, also of the Amalgamated, robbed the workers of 547,000. This is theh so- ¢ialist party in action. Meus The ssocialists support the British labor party.

Hen- derson and the labor party went in- to the epposition—but before they retired, they made provision for re- ducing wages further, cutting the dole, cutting the wages of teachers, the sailors, etc. Norman Thomas calls this program of the labor party a “radical program.” This is the socialist party in action, ment relief.

They endorse the Leazue of Nations and the ~Kellogg-Briand peace treaty. These institutions are not preventing war—but ‘preparing the way for war aaginst the Soviet Union. Morris Hillquit was~the-Jawyer for the Russian white guards’ against the Soviet Government, charging the Soviet Government with having “forcefully confiscated” thhe prop- erty of thhe white guards, the ex- ploiters and plunderers of the workers and peasants. Morris Hill- quit gave up the case because the white guards in Paris did not fur~ nish him with the $100,000 fee that he demanded. But he maintains’ that “in principle’ he was right in ac- cepting the case. And the socialist party supports him. This. is thhe socialist party in ac- tion—not in words. They “talk” about the workers, but thheir actions are against theh workers. They “talk” against graft—but they are grafters themselves. They “talk” against injunctions, but they use in- junctions and the police against the workers. They “talk” about disarm- ament—but they prepare the workers for war against the Sovict Uaion. For this reason, thé capitalist press, thhe Citizens Union and the Brooklyn Bar Association endorse socialist candidates, When the c talists endorse any can! ‘*.>,. they are sure they are safe for the capi- talists—and against the workers. Workers: Learn the lessons — not from the socialist phrases—but from their actions. Your answer must be: I will vote Communist—yote for the only party of the working class that fights for unemployment relief and -insurance, against wage cuts, speed-up, injunctions, persecution of theh foreign-born and Negroes, for defense of the Soviet Union, for a Workers and Farmers’ Government.
