Day Struggle Against the Bosses. industry, more firm control of the industries and railroads by the Wall Street banks, and for still greater profits by the biggest and most powerful capitalists. — The capitalists’ way out of the f erisis,—secondly,— embodies a | further direct and brutal a::ack | On the living standards of the | toilers. Ld Workers’ wages are being even more drastically slashed. The speed-up in the factories and mines is daily increased. More factories are shut down; more workers are ’ thrown into the streets to joih the ranks of the unemployed. The mis- erable charity rations are being further reduced and the burdens of. the charity system are placed on the already breaking backs of the toilers. In this way the capitalists try to escape from the crisis—to maintain their bloated profits, while the workers are forced nearer and nearer te the starvation level and even below. When the workers, by strikes and demonstrations, fight to maintain their living standards and to resist these attacks of the bosses, they meet the sharpest terror. Their po- litical rights guaranteed by the con- stitution are denied them. Meet- ings, demonstrations and picket lines are ruthlessly smashed. Work- ers are clubbed and gassed by the police on the instruction of the cap- italists and their political hirelings. The Negro masses are Jim Crowed and lynched. Workers are shot down and killed. This terror is not the monopoly of one capitalist, one politician or one party. The Repub- lican, Hoover, orders the gassing and brutal clubbing of the workers in Washington. The “liberal” Re- publican, Pinchot, orders the club- bing and murder of the Pennsyl- vania coal strikers. The Democratic Mayor Cermak orders the beating, gassing and killing of Negro work- ers on Chicago’s South Side. Ford and his “progressive” henchman, Murphy, order the murder of four workers at Dearborn. The Socialist Mayor Hoan, backed by the pro- pressive Republican, La Follette, order the same attacks on the Mil- waukee workers. All the capitalists and all their parties are determined to force through the lowering of the workers’ living standard and the maintenance of their own prof- its by an unprecedented and grow- ing terror. The capitalist way out of the crisis,—thirdly,—provides for in- tense preparation for and theim- mediate launching of 2 new impe- rialist war in which the workers and farmers will be called upon to serve as the cannon fodder. In their greedy desire for greater profits the capitalists set out to wrest new markets, from their im- perialist rivals by armed force, and to rob the peoples of Latin Amer- ica, of China, of the Philippines, etc., of their territory and natural resources. In preparation for this war the terror against the workers is car- ried through to crush all militancy among the workers and all revolu- tionary workers’ organizations; bil- lions of dollars are spent for naval and military armaments, while the people starve. Efforts are made to herd the masses—workers, farmers and students—into the military and auxiliary organizations in an effort to make them the cannon fodder to be ruthlessly slaughtered on the battle fields. All this is done behind the screen of fake peace talk and fake disarmament proposals. The imperialist war has already started in the East, on the borders of the Soviet Union, with the rob- ber attacks of Japanese imperialism on the Chinese people in Manchuria and Shanghai, with actual warfare against the Soviet Union daily threatened. The Hoover-Stimson tools of Wall Street are openly preparing to throw the American workers into this war, and, in the first place, into a war against the Soviet Union. The battle fleet has been concen- trated in the Pacific ocean where the most gigantic and demonstra- tive maneuvers are being carried out. At any moment a call to arms may be sounded, followed by the forced conscription of the workers into the robber army of Wall Street. Increased hunger and misery for the masses, terror, and war— this is the capitalist way out of the crisis. The election programs of Republicans, Democrats and Socialists, no matter how skill- fully concealed, reflect only the differences between these parties on how to carry through this eap- italist way out, how to get the masses to accept hunger, terror and war. # Workers Must Militantly Resist Bosses’ Attacks Against these attacks of the em- ployers, against these efforts of the capitalists to enrich themselves at the expense of the toilers, the workers and farmers must fight. They must rally all their forces for the most uncompromising class struggle against every effort of the capitalists to terrorize them into accepting worsened conditions, or to force them into another im- perialist slaughter. The capitalists will never volun- tarily yield an inch to the workers. | They will continue ever more ruth- lessly to maintain and increase their own profits and wealth by ! forcing the workers and farmers {| into greater misery. They will nev- | er. voluntarily relax their pressure || onthe Masses, nor will they cease - Set ‘Up Election Committees in Your Factory or Mine. for one moment their war prepara- tions, particularly for a bloody war to crush the Soviet Union. There is no way out of the crisis for the workers except the Way of militant class struggle. There is no way out except the way of the most stubborn fight against starvation and for the workers’ immediate de- mands. There is no way out except the way of struggle against bank- rupt capitalism and for a workers’ and farmers’ government which alone can feed the people. Those who say otherwise lie! In order to carry out this strug- gle, the workers and poor farmers, Negro and white, must organize. _ They must build powerful, fighting trade unions and unemployed coun- $e nn cils and strong organization of poor farmers. Under the leadership of the Communist Party, the workers organized in such class organiza- tions can defend their interests to- day, while fighting for the revolu- tionary way out of the crisis, for the overthrow of capitalism. The most relentless struggle, now and throughout the election cam- paign, for the following demands— the demands of the Communist Party—alone offers to the workers the means of defending their in- terests against ,the bosses’ attack. 1. Unemployment and social insur- ance at the expense of the State and employers. 2. Against Hoover’s wage cutting policy. | 3. Emergency relief for the poor farmers without restrictions by the government and banks; ex- emption of poor farmers from taxes, and from forced collec- tion of rents or debts. 4. Equal rights for the Negroes and: self-determination for the Black Belt. 5. Against capitalist terror; against all forms of suppression , of the political rights of the workers. 6. Against imperialist war; for the defense of the Chinese people and of the Soviet Union. Workers’ and Farmers’ Government Will End Misery The Communist Party calls upon the millions of workers and farm-. ers, Negro and white, and particu- larly those rank and file workers who are now misled by the leaders of the Socialist Party and the A. F. of L., to rally to the fight for these demands. The mass fight for these demands can alone develop effec- tive resistance to the starvation and war program of the capitalists. The fight for these demands, as proposed by the Communist Party, means even more. It is the start- ing point for the final victory of the toilers, for the establishment of the workers’ and farmers’ gov- ernment in the United States. This is the workers’ way—the revolu- tionary way out of the crisis. The Communist Party proposes an organized mass struggle for the above immediate demands of the workers, as the first step toward the establishment of a revolution- ary WORKERS’ AND FARMERS’ GOVERNMENT. Such a REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT alone can free the masses from misery and slavery, by taking over and operating the big industries, trusts, railroads and banks. Only such a government can open up every idle factory, mill and mine, and put the workers on their jobs again producing the goods which are needed for a hungry, starving population. Such a gov- ernment alone can immediately seize and distribute to the hungry masses the enormous stores of food-stuffs now kept locked up in the warehouses, thus caring for the masses and creating a great de- mand for new production. It alone can open up the millions of houses, now held empty by greedy private landlords, and provide comfortable housing for the millions living in cellars, sewers, the disgraceful pub- lic lodging-houses and the terrible “Hoover cities” of the homeless un- employed. It can immediately feed, clothe and house all the workers and put them busily at work repro- ducing all things necessary. There is plenty and to spare for all. It is held away from the toilers by the capitalists as their private property and for their private profit. Only a revolution- ary Workers’ and Farmers’ Goy- ernment can break through this paralysis of the capitalist cr‘sis and start economic activity going — full speed for the benefit of the masses of workers and farmers. This is proven by the experiences of the Soviet Union. There the workers seized power in the revo- lution of 1917. With the govern- | ment in their hands the last rem- | nants of capitalism are being up- ' rooted, socialism is being built. The first Five Year Plan is now being | successfully completed; unemploy- ' ment has been completely eliminate / ed; wages are being steadily in- creased; the material and cultural ' level of the masses is being raised; | no crisis such as in capitalist coun- ‘ tries has affected their programs; | the second Five Year Plan is about ! to begin. The Soviet Union stands ' out as proof that the workers can rule, not only in their own interest, but in the interest of all those who are oppressed by capitalism Win Your Fellow Workers for the Communist Platform and Candidates! 08 Ce . x wee ¥ ee) ‘ 5 rane go 5 a <> CORPS here be ae ee EES EE CASPASES FT RER bar
