'W YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 28, 1932 29,263 SIGN TO PUT COMMUNISTS ON BALLOT IN CALIFORNIA Communist Campaign Growing in Starving ‘Golden State’ Raith Berkman, Jailed| Kentucky Communist by Secretary Doak Workers Defy Arrest in Communist Drive SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 26— California workers and farmers have made the greatest demonstration of support for the Communist Party Platform of class struggle that has ever been seen in this state. They | have piled up in fifteen counties alone, out of the 58 counties in the State, a total to date of 29,263 signa- tures to put the Comununist candi- | dates on the ballot. Less than 15,000 sigmatures are required by law to put any political party on the ballot. In Santa Rosa a signature collector was arrested on the argument that it was obtaining signatures under false pretenses for him to tell workers | that putting the Communist Party on the ballot will help the unem- ployed. Mass demonstrations of workers will be held to prove that the jobless do want a chance to vote. for Communist candidates, and for the platform on. which they stand, the main plank of which is a demand for unemployment insurance at the ex- pense of the state and employers. Following the example of th Santa Rosa officials, the San Fran- cisco election board has declared that “due to technical errors”, the petitions here will not he filed. In Los Angeles, the county clerk went to the attorney general of the state for advice, and had to approve the petitions before he would order the ballots printed. The Communist Party has issued a} statement exposing the reasons for| >this campaign of subterfuge and hy- posrisy on the part of the Republican end Democratic officials. The Com- munist Party calls upon the masses for struggle to force the placing of the party on the ballot, now that an overwhelming number of signatures “has been secured. There will be mass sdemonstrations all over the state. e “\ Minnesota Nominating Convention MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 26.— Calif., Kentucky and Lawrence | | 1,000 MEETING IN LAWRENCE ELECT BERKMAN Textile Workers Fight New Wage Cut and Endorse Communists LAWRENCE, Mass., May 26,—En- raged by the vicious 20 to 30 per cent wage cut secretly put over by the| American Woolen Co. in the Wood Mill last Saturday, close to 1,000 workers responded to the call of the National Textile Workers Union, to protest against the cut by demon- strating on the City Common.

Unorganized urged to call meetings and share croppers and tenants and poor neighborhood meetings and send delegates. ' Against Hunger The Communist Party points to the terrific starvation and terror, par- ticularly in the eastern countries of Kentucky (especially Bell and Har- Jan counties). It shows that the Re- publican Party Governor Flem Samp- son sent troops against these work- ers in Harlan County last year, and that this year the Democratic Party governor, Ruby Laffon did the same, and stood by the organized terror of hundreds of gun thugs during the miners’ strike. Assisting and taking advantage of this terror against the workers are the American Federation of Labor (The United Mine Workers in the mine strike) and the Socialist Party. The farmers are reminded that thousands of small farms have been sold for taxes or foreclosed under mortgages. Tobacco farmers were forced to give away last year’s crop; often enough when the crop came to market a government agent or bank- er was there ready to seize it as payment for taxes or debts, Against Jim Crow Laws ‘The Negro farmers and miners are reminded that they are Jim Crowded, by state law, and denied the right to hold office, besides being. made the objects of most vicious lynch law and violence. In the face of all this terror, much of it directed against the Commu- nists, the Commnist Party relies on the will to struggle of the masses of poor farmers and workers to make this state convéhtion and thgCom- munist election campaign a smccess. te) Seven Sent from Oklahoma. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 26. —A truck load of farmers from around Tuttle, Okla., came in to the United Front Communist Campaign Election Conference held here Sun- day in Pythian Hall. They added their numbers to the delegates from unions and other workers’ organiza- tions, they had their man, a farmer, | to propose as a delegate to Chicago, | and they had his fare. The farmer, A. B. McDonald, was endorsed by the conference. He says he will tell the convention they must send help to organize the farmers. Another farmer from Piedmont proposes a demand that the government give aid to the farmers in fighting the grasshoppers, which destroy crops. One representative fromthe A. F. of L. Painters’ local reported that though the union officials are fight- ing everything “Red”, the rank and file are not opposed to the “Reds”. | A total of seven delegates were elected from the conference, of whom three are Negroes. A banquet and send-off was given them May 24, the second inter-racial banquet here, and the first inter-racial dance. Five From Atlanta. ATLANTA, Ga., May 26.—About: 50 Negro and white delegates met here in the city-wide conference on the Communist Election Campaign, and elected three Negro and two white workers to the National Nominating Convention, | The conference had delegates from Negro workers’ clubs, the Interna- tional Labor Defense branches, the Unemployed Council and the Com- munist Party. * HUNGER MARCH TO.

The Auto Workers Industrial Un- ion issued a leaflet calling upon all Briggs workers, employed and un- employed, to participate in the pre- parations for this Hunger March by organizing Grievances .Committees in their departments, if they are working, or Block Committees in their neighborhoods, if they are not working. “Conditions in the Mack Plant’— the leaflet reads— “are constantly growing worse, both for the employed and unemployed Briggs workers. In- side the plant the mad speed-up is increasing. Workers are being sent home and those remaining have to| keep up with the line, There are! lay-offs almost every morning. In one department the line was speed-| ed from 22 to 30 per hour...This speed up now means lay-off,” The leaflet concludes by calling upon the workers to join in the Hunger March and demand: 1, Unemployed Relief for Unem- employed Briggs workers equal to 50 per eent of our wages and not less than $15 a week. 2. No discrimination against Ne- gro workers, young or women work- ers. No paying back for our welfare. 3. 10 per cent increase in wages for Briggs workers, 4. No insurance money out of workers pay. All insurance paid by Briggs. 5. Slow down the line, Prepare for Youth Day in New England Lawrence, Mass, Last year and every other year on May 30 I felt that I would like to be a boy so that I could join the navy and go to war and bea hero. Patriotic speeches stirréq my blood. About six months ago I joined the Unemployed Council and became ac- tive in the fight against evictions and the shutting off of gas and elec- tric light and against discrimina- tion against families who applied for relief at the City Welfare. In Law- rence, the young unemployed do not get any relief. The welfare claims we have no families to support, which means we will have to get married and have a family before we will be given the $4 to $6 “relief.” ‘This, I can understand now, is just part of the Hoover program to starve the workers so that they will turn to the army and navy to get some- thing to eat. In the State Hunger March for un- employment insurance the young workers showed the bosses that they will refuse to starve amid plenty. Let us show then that we will also fight against their damnable wars.

[What Our Readers Sa “A Job for Everyone” Is Universal Slogan Party Should Use New York, Dear Comrades: I agree with Comrade Strobel of Detroit in his criticism of the Party slogans and platform as too nega- tive. I think the Party needs some students of psychology as well as poli- tics and economics. A worker’s reaction to any polit- ical platform is “What will I get out of this,” and what they want today is a job, and I believe that the fore- imost slogan should be “A job for ~verybody.” A corollary to this might for unemployment insurance BUT something for nothing is so foreign because the workers have been bilked ‘so much by reformers that in the osent state of affairs: unemptey- | Se ame just sounds like an- other pipe dream.

That is the only slogan that has universal appeal to all workers.

May 27.— An unidentified Negro worker was | shot to death by a sheriff's posse yesterday et Round Pond. The posse was organized to hunt down the worker after he had success- fully defended himself against the brutal attacks of two police officers, killing one of the thugs and wounding another, Parte BIRMINGHAM, Ala.’ May 27.— Fourteen workers, 11 of them Ne- groes, were murdered by police of- ficers in Birmingham during the past 12 months, according to the | admission of thee Birmingham Post of May 25. The actual number of | Birmingham murdered by the police | is probably much greater than the figures admitted by this boss paper. In all but two of these murders, the police have been upheld by the authorities. As might be expected of the southern boss lynchers, all 11 murders of Negro workers have been justified and completely whitewashed by the ruling class. It is this same Alabama ruling class, backed by the Wall Street imperialists and the Negro and white reformists, who are today attempted to carry through the legal massacre of the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys. The two murders by the police held “not justifiable’ were the killing of Norman Gist, white by Policeman J. C. Ballard, and Raymond Norris, killed by Bessemer officers. . Gist, described by the Birmingham Post as “an innocent bystander” was shot by Ballard who was allegedly shoot- ing at a “suspected” bootlegger. Al- though this murder was declared “not justifiable,” the officer has not been arrested and will not be punished in any way. In the case of the other “non- justifiable” murder, the Birmingham Post reports that the murderous police officer “was to have gone on trial in criminal court Monday on a charge of first degree manslaughter for the slaying, but his case was passed.” This means that actually all 14 murders have been held “justi- fiable.” MOTOR BOAT “UNITY” Sunday at 8 . m. from Petersen's Boat Works near Castle Hill Bathing Park.

Eleven thousand miners are working on separate mine agreements, but those of the biggest mines are locked out. At the meeting of Zeigler Local 4069 of the United Mine Workers, the Rank and File Opposition (the real rank and file movement, not Ed- mundson’s) introduced a resolution condemning the scale committee for accepting the wage cut, and calling on all miners to turn the lock-out into @ real strike, and close down the mines working under the wage cut, Edmundson With Sheriff. Edmundson was present, arbitrarily jrefused to allow anybody to speak for itself and carried it away, and called the sheriff's forces to arrest all lead- ers of the opposition.
