About three times as many signatures were obtained in the Passaic County as required by ‘To the Readers of By Nelson Herding The above from Hearst's Pittsburgh sheet, the “Sun-Telegraph,” is typical of the, brazen drive that is bsing conducted by American imperialism to place the Hawaiian Islands under complete military rule as a part of the war preparations in the Pacific. news stories and cartoons, the fren- challenge to the working class to increase a thousand fold the fight against the imperialist war prepara- tions.

Admission is 25 cents and all workers are urged toattend. On Sunday exening May 22nd, a spaghetti party will be given to bid farewell to the delegates going to the National Nominating Convention of the Communist Party Chicago, Senatorial ' ‘Relief’ Proposals will be done for them.’ ‘A similar campaign of shameless deception was conducted during the early part of last winter, immediately following the great National Hunger March. The capitalist press through- j out the country, then as now, carried headlined stories in which they re- ported that ‘Unemployment Relief by Government is Held Certain’ “It is no surprise, that the A. F. of Leaders again appear upon the scene to join in this cruel deception. The A. F, of L. leaders who since the beginning of the crisis have co- operated in every scheme of the boss- es and government for putting over their hunger policy, now join in this latest scheme. Only a few days ago, Bill Green, president of the A. F. of L. launched a bitter attack upon an A. F. of L. rank and file com- mittee which is conducting a cam- paign for unemployment insurance. Now, -the despicable creature, Mc- Grady, legislative agent of the A. F. of L., appears for the second time, before a Senate Committee, to pray ‘that something shall be wone’ to stem the growing revolt of the starv- ing masses. “McGrady, in behalf of the A. F. of L. bureaucrats, pleads for an in- Significant appropriation, that will deceive the masses into believing that they need not organize and fight. Otherwise, says this faithful watch- \ dog of the ruling class, ‘the doors to revolution will be thrown wide open’ What most concerns McGrady is not the mass misery, which he admits will increase. McGrady and the high- salaried agents of the bosses; whom he represents, are concerned because of ‘a number of uprisings in indus- trial cities . . . led by Communists.’ Because, the workers ‘who want bread’ are realizing that they can win the right to live only by conducting militant mass struggle. “The National Committee of the Unemployed Councils denounces all these fake proposals and schemes of Senators Costigan, Bellingham, Wag- ner and Co. We warn the whok working class against being deceived by these sly demagogues. There must be n olet-up in the local struggles for relief, against evictions and for unemployment insurance, equal to full wages, at the expense of the em- ployers and government. “We particularly call upon the members of the A. F. of L., who by their struggles, against the treacher- ous policy of Green, Woll and Mc- Grady are forcing these enemies of the working class into the open, to t-ist murderer of the French president, | the | with were | lov in Court Admits the Communist Tternational, nd at the same time to divert pub- lic indignation from the White Guard allies of French imperialism, In their war incitement activities against the Soviet Union, the police gave out a statement declaring that | a Soviet passport “issued to Debrou- | are” was found in the baggage of Gorguloy. Then then attempted to show that Debrouare was a Soviet spy, who, they further claimer, had been in close communication with Gorgulov, They further attempted to strengthen this tissue of /anti Soviet lies with the claim that they had found documents in Gorguloy's baggage “proving” that he had been “a Soviet spy in Persia.” Gorgulov himself, when questioned yesterday by a Paris magistrate was alternately mumbling prayers and shouting “vive la France!” He ad- mitted under questioning that he was conected with the White Guard terrorist organization which is see! ing the assassination of foreign statesmen in an effort to involve the Soviet Union in war. He said that this terrorist organization had named seyeral Soviet officials for as- sasination.
