| DAILY WORKER NEW YORK, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15 1081 FIGHT THE NEW PLUNDER PROGRAM. |1es 8 OF THE HOOVER GOVERNMENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ination, against these millions of toilers. The Hoover hun- ger government answered with the statement, “the deporta- tion law should be strengthened.” The Hunger March was an open protest against poli- tical reaction and terror against working class organizations, against the violations of the rights of the workers to speak and assemble, to organize and strike. The answer of the capitalist government is the increase of the terror in order to break the resistance of the workers and farmers. WORKERS! The proposals of Hoover make up the program of the capitalist way out of the crisis—the program of further enslavement of the toilers, further degradation of the living standards of the masses, increased terror and persecution, imperialist war preparations against the Soviet Union. . This is the prograin of all capitalist parties, republican \wnd democratic, and also the lackey socialist party. All the netivities of the A.F.L> officialdom are directed to the carry- (ng out of the program in the most cynical way. In each of the capitalist parties, the hand of capital and its agents rules. Bach of these parties is ‘using its own variety of demagogy {io deceive the masses. The sham protests of the democrats in Congress against jloover’s taxation schemes are a means to prevent the pro- fest which will rise up against it. The hypocritical speeches of individual members of Con- sivess and the empty radical promises of the socialist party jpaders and the group of fake progressives headed by Mr. ilfuste about unemployment insurance, are not only the re- sult of the pressure of the workers, but part and parcel of the system of weapons employed by the capitalists in the United States to disperse and break up the growing, united resistance of the workers to the capitalist offensive. WORKERS! Only the Communist Party which is or- glanizing the workers for the overthrow of the capitalist sys- tém of exploitation and oppression, shows the revolutionary way of struggle against the capitalist attacks; points out the revolutionary way out of the crisis by the establishment aff a workers’ and farmers’ government such as exists in the Sbviet Union and for building up a socialist society. The Communist Party which is leading the fight to beat down the attacks upon the workers ,calls upon the workers tw resolutely resist and defeat the hunger program of Hoover bjt the establishment of the widest united front of struggle, exposing and isolating the labor lieutenants of capital, the A.F.L. bureaucrats and the socialist party. WORKERS! Mobilize and organize your forces for Na- tional Unemployment Insurance Day—February Ath. In- tesify your local struggles for adequate relief for every un- eniployed worker and his family. Expose the corrupt, graft- riflden charity system and demand immediate city, state and federal appropriations for relief to be administered by th workers. ; zi Rally ever greater masses in the fight aganist evic- tious, for free rent, gas, electricity and public service for the unemployed! : : Fight every act of discrimination against Negroes and forge’ an unbreakable working class unity of whites and blacks! @ Defeat the plans to enslave the foregin-born workers! Answer the smashing, wage-cutting offensive by devel- oplog militant strike struggles! Organize in the factories united front committees against wage-cuts and for unemployment insurance! Widen the revolutionary trade union movement in the factories, mines and railroads! Build up the revolutionary trade unions! Rally and organize all honest workers in the A.F.L. unions to gihake off the rotten, bureaucratic officialdom—the worst enefaies of unemployment insurance and the most cynical betSinyers of strike struggles! Not a cent off the wages! Full. wages for part-time wewiiers! Against lay-offs and mass dismissals! Not a cent for new taxes from the exploited and toiling masses, from the workers and poor farmers! Make those that profit from the mass misery, pay from their riches to balance their own corrupt, war-making state and federal budgets! Employed and unemployed! February 4th will be a day of national struggle against the capitalist attacks; a day of struggle for unemployment insurance. Bring the militant determination and %elf-sacrifice of the hunger marchers into the preparations for February 4th. Collect individual signa- tures and register your demands for unemployment insur- ance by mass endorsements, @rganize wide united front conferences for Unemploy- ment Insurance Day, February 4th, drawing in new strata of workers, spreading into new oe penetrating the factories and entrenching the prog#% of unemployment in- surance in the workers’ mass organizations. At these mass conferences, the demand of the ex-servicemen for the bonvs and for relief should be raised and supported. Give a fresh impulse through the preparations for Feb- ruary 4th, to the building of strong unemployed councils em- bracing the vast masses of the unemployed. Build unemployed committees in the blocks and neigh- borhoods, in the flophouses and on the breadlines. WORKERS AND OPPRESSED FARMERS! In this mass struggle against the capitalist offensive, the working class is growing in organizational consciousness and solidar- ity. The working class is pushing forward, the activities of the masses are growing, new forces are coming forward from the fighting ranks. The Communist Party, the vanguard of the working class and the leader of the mass struggles, is becoming stronger. Workers! Send all militant fighters into the Com- munist Party.. The great hunger march was accomplished by the working class under the firm leadership of the Com- munist Party--HUNGER MARCHERS! NATIONAL AND ed INTO THE RANKS OF THE COMMUNIST \ The fire of the attack of the capitalists against the working class is directed in the first place against the van- guard of the toilers—the Communist Party. Workers! Em- ployed and unemployed—mass support to your Party. Send thousands of new forces from the factories, mines, mills; one the heart of the working class, into the Communist y. The Daily Worker, the organ of the Communist Party, is the sharpest weapon in the hands of the revolutionary workers and the most fearless enemy of the capitalists and their rotting system. The Daily Worker is exposing and unmasking the lackeys of the capitalists, the labor bureau- crats, the Socialist Paryt and the Musteites, WORKERS! Support the Daily Worker!

HUNGER MARCH PAGE ONE) (CONTINUED FROM have the T.U.U.L. outlawed by fed- eral courts, But in this case the fish is father to the thought and away ahead of the facts. Still Another Lie. Doak’s statement includes still an- other lie, The events of Oct. 14, to which he refers, was a statement of detailed instruetions to those pre- paring the National Hunger March. It was not issued by the Communist Party, nor even directly by the Trade Union Unity League. These instruc- tions were issued by the National Hunger March Committee of the Un- employed Councils. Certainly both the T. U. U. L, and the Communist Party supported fully the National Hunger March. Doak bases the claim of the “virtually wholly Communist participation” in the march on a list of the speakers at the National Hunger March meet- ings in Washington and the names of leaders of the march, Among these appear Communists, of whom Doak mentions: William Z. Foster, William Weinstone, William F. Dunne, Herbert Benjamin, John Bal- lam and Fred Biedenkapp. He cites their membership on various Com- munist leading committees as though that were a great discovery. None of them has at any time denied their Communist: membership. ‘The vast majority of the delegates in the march were not Communist Party members and were elected from mass organizations, conferences and endorsed by mass meetings, in which the political opinion of the workers votit.g was not a point a tissue, Starving Man Tried to Plan Against Worse Hunger NEW YORK.—Wilson Casto, starv- ing, but trying to hang onto his last bout the March SF CRIMINAL SYNDICALIST LAWS T0 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) employed in the County of Frank- lin and the State of Ulinois at two mines therein to-wit: Orient Mine Number One and Orient Mine Number Two, two said mines being then and there owned and operated by the Chicago, Wilmington & Franklin Coal Co, a mining cor- poration.” This exposes the real aim of the criminal syndicalist law of Dlinois (and all other states)—to keep the workers under the whip of starva- tion by attempting to prevent them from striking to better their con- ditions, Bosses’ Agents ‘The most vicious phases of the in- dictment, showing the alliance of the United Mine Workers of America with the bosses is the section on which the capitalist authorities seek to send these workers to jail for 20 years. It reads as follows: “That the defendants, with fraudu- lent and malicious intent, wrongfully and wickedly (attempted) to injure the character of the United Mine Workers of America.” Because these and other militant workers exposed the scabbing char- acter of the leadership of the UMWA, the courts of Southern Illinois quickly bring in an indictment on the charge of eriminal syndicalism and seek to FRENCH IN INVASION OF SOUTH CHINA (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) BULLETIN French troops have eniered Southern China, a dispatch to the Washington Star reports. That this move is directed against the Chinese Soviets and Red Army and is part of the imperialist agree- ment for the partitioning of China is admitted in the following edi- torial comment by the Star. “This news does not surprise cer- tain well-informed circles in Wash- ington, It merely tends to confirm reports received here recently about the existence of a Japanese-French agreement dating back in 1928 and 1929 wherein the present develop- ments in China were envisaged by both governments.” . * Nanking Troops Fire On Demonstrators. Nanking military fired Sunday night on an anti-Japanese demon- stration of Chinese workers and stu- dents in the native quarter of Shang~- hai, The demonstrators answered, storming the nearby Kuomintang headquarters and raiding a police station. This is the second time within a week that Shanghai workers have stormed the headquarters of the | Kuomintang party. A Shanghai dis- patch to the New York American re- ports that the demonstration was led by .Chinese Communists, The * dollar for the weeks of still more ghastly hunger he saw ahead this winter, collapsed from lack of food in Times Square subway station Wed- nesday night, He was trying to find a place to sleep out of the cold in the subway, and had nothing to eat for four days. Capitalist newspapers give space to his story in preference to that of dozens of others who are never men-|_ tioned, because of his apparently ingrained thrift. But the capitalist virtue of “saving your money” didn’t help in the midst of a crisis.

College presidents in many cities have resigned, declaring they are unable to curb the students.” Reports of Resignation of Chiang Kai-shek. ‘The tremendous upsurge of mass anger and the sweep of the anti-im- perialist movement over all China is crystalizing the tendency of the Kou- mintang traitors to scrap Chaing Kai-shek in an effort to placate the angry masses. Capitalist news agen- cies yesterday categorically stated that Chiang Kai-shek had been forced to resign and that his resig- nation had been promptly accepted by the Nanking cabinet. Later dis- patches denied that Chiang had re- signed. The Nanking and Canton wings of the Kuomintang are clearly maneu- vering in an attempt to continue their deception of the masses.

This criminal syndicalist indict- ment is even more vicious than the} action of the Kentucky coal operators who would never dare so openly to expose the hand of the coal operators and the United Mine Workers of America as strikebreakers and stool- pigeons of the bosses. On this sort of indictment, made just as much by the officials of the UMWA as by the capitalist state, these militant leaders of the Mllinois workers, and particularly the miners, face 20 year jail sentences, Rank and file members of the UMWA should raise a militant pro- test against this action of their of- | ficials.

Workers and students have betn pouring into Nanking, forcing the railroads to carry them. Demonstra- tions of tens of thousands have oc- curred in scores of Chinese cities. In Nanking, alone, 50,000 workers and students demonstrated a few days ago, In Shanghai, workers and stu- dents seized the Chinese city, im- prisoned the mayor and many of the police, disarmed Nanking military officers and started a hunt for Kuo- mintang officials, who, however, had taken refuge among their imperial- ist masters in the foreign concessions, Nanking troops fraternized with the demonstrators, defying the orders of their officers to fire on the crowds. Financial Crisis Grows Worse in Japan. ‘The financial crisis in Japan con- tinues to reach new depths. The government yesterday admitted that the gold standard had collapsed. An embargo on gold has been declared. The Tokyo stock market and other} exchanges throughout the country | were closed yesterday. Heisaburo Okawa, a director in the Mitsui Bank, admitted that the future was doubt- | ful. The Japanese newspaper, Asal, | denies that the gold embargo will make any improvement in the finan- cial crisis. The Nichi Nichi admits that inflation will intensify the mis- ery of the masses, that an increase in prices will follow, and that the “increase in prices will not be ac- companied by an increase of purchas- ing power” for the masses, Japanese exports to China have shrunk to less than one-third of the value shown last year, as a re~ sult of the Chinese boycott against Japanese goods, The balance of trade for November was 5,640,000 yen against Japan, as compared to 16,490,000 in her favor in 1930.

The Man- churian village of Lanchihpu, near the Liao River, was occupied yester~ day by Japanese after a sharp clash with Chinese irregulars fighting the Japanese invaders. Throughout Manchuria, the Japa- nese are consolidating their control. A Mukden dispatch reports that, Chang Ching-kui and General Ma Chen-shan “have reached an agree- ment for their joint control of that province (Heilungkiang) under Japa- nese protection at a meeting Friday at Sungpu, near Harbin. Japanese quarters regarded the agreement as @ solution of the peace problem in Heilungkiang.” Japanese Murder Koreans In Manchuria. Korean peasants in Manchuria are rallying to the fight against the Japa- nese imperialists. A dispatch from Washington quotes Dr. Singman Rhee, a Korean reformist leader, to the effect that fhe Japanese army in Manchuria has killed 1,200 Koreans during the past few months. Hun- dreds have been jailed for their anti- imperialist activities. Dr. Rhee said about 600,000 Ko- reans reside in Manchuria, who are “voluntary exiles from Korea be- cause of Japan’s domination of that country,” and now “find themselves Demand Mooney’s Release at Big Ill.

The young student nurses, who must serve three years appren- ticeship, are forced to work the first three months for nothing. Then for the next 33 months they receive $10 a month. The station men who take care of the wards are working 12 hrs. a day, seven days a week, and re- ceive $15 a month. The bosses of this human butcher shop have now started a campaign of firing the older workers and hiring new ones at still lower wages: $10 to $12.50 a month. It is about time that the workers in the hospital organize against the terrible conditions. Build ward com~- mittees. Demand no wage cuts, the eight-hour day, the five-day week, without reduction in pay, immediate increase of the hospital personnel, ade- quate wages for nurses and pharma- cists, equal pay for equal work, no discrimination on account of race, nationality or color, elimination of free work.

Post “No less than 12,000 musicians aré in distress in New York alone” is the admission made by Louis Sherwin, writer for the New York Evening Post in writing of the efforts of the Bohe- mians, a musicians organization, to aid their destittue members. Fully 99 per cent of the teachers in one or another branch of music have lost their pupils as a result of the crisis. Sherwin reports. | ‘The endowment fund which was used to aid especially hard hit mem- bers of the musicians group is now depleted. The club has no program outside of raising a few dollars by af- fairs and appeals to the rich. ‘Telling of the extent of misery among the musicians and teachers Sherwin writes, “even some well Imown artists are in distress.” The campaign for 5,000 12-month subseriptions to the Daily Worker is begin- | ning to get results. That is because there are workers all over the United States, like the worker whose letter we quote below, who will make big sacrifices to get the Daily Worker and to spread the Daily Worker to others. “Am renewing my sub- scription for four months,” v.ites this worker from Bar- berton, 0., “so enclosed find two dollars.

In answer to the coal operators’ calling the miners “reds”, the miners say: “It seems like anybody who is hungry is a red.” Great applause greeted Ike Haw- kins, Negro leader of the National Miners Union, as he came forward to speak, Frank Borich, national secre- tary of the National Miners Union, outlined the organizational tasks of the union, the setting up of a strike apparatus and drawing all of the miners into active participation of the struggle. Vincent Kamenovich, secre- tary of the Western Pennsylvania district of the N.M.U., and Bob Si- vert, an official of the union, brought sylvania and Ohio. Mary Smith urged the women to join the men. START RELIEF DRIVE. Alfred Wagenknecht, secretary of the Workers International Relief, which has now begun a nation-wide campaign to raise funds, food and clothing for strike relief, pledged the support of the W.LR., and de- clared that the organization and workers evi ere would exert greatest effe to keep the miners | from starving while striking, By a unanimous vote the delegates called upon the W.LR. to issue an appeal nationally for support of all work- ers and organizations in a relief drive to help win the strike. Bill Meeks, Straight Creek miner, was chairman of the convention; Bessy Wells, was secretary, and Perry | Atkins, vice-chairman. A district | board of the N.M.U. consisting of 27 miners was elected, ‘The rank and file miners described their horrible conditions. One miner ; Said he left his wife and five kids that morning without breakfast. “Our houses are so bad,” a miner said, “we don’t call cats and dogs in through the door. They come right through the cracks.” “The sooner we go to war against such conditions,” said one miner's wife, “the sooner we will win the battle.” District Committee Acts. ‘The District Committee of 27 elect~ NATIONAL MINERS UNION LEADS FIGHT IN KENTUCKY scoring the United Mine Workers of | greetings from the miners of Penn- | — ,ed met with the National Board fol- | lowing the convention.

Delegates came to the convention in trucks and cars, hundreds walked from Harlan, a distance of 30 miles in the pouring rain. The spirit of the miners throughout Kentucky is tense as they await the beginning of the strike. N.M.U. locals are springing up everywhere, organized by rank and file organizers. A Negro miner igs the president of one local. Captain Golden, lawyer, and @ Jaw- yer for the U.M.W.A, sent Bill Bur- nett, miner who was freed after an attempted murder frame-up, to beg for the cancellation of the conven- tion on the basis that it would “harm the Harlan prisoner's cases.” Burnett admitted that the National Minera Union policy of struggle is the correct one, but he was convinced by the lawyers that the convention will “harm” the prisoners. This trick shows definitely the TWW and UMWA policy towards the strike. Burnett denied he ever condemned the International Labor Defense. He said he hoped the protest would do the prisoners good.
