L. CONSTRUCTION IN U.S.S.R. PUSHES AHEAD AS 5-YEAR PLAN NEAR END Contrast With Stagnation in Capitalist World Worker Correspondence Whistles Speed Up Workers in Baltimore Forced Labor (By a Worker Correspondent) BALTIMORE, Md.—“Say you sonovabich, come back here”! These were the words directed at a young unemployed worker who went over to get a sandwich out of his lunch kit. It was around 10:30 im the morning and the gang had been working steady onthe Herring Park grounds where hundreds of unemployed are making a park. In the United States of Ame This young fellow was rather hungry and he didn’t think that it Was such @ crime to go a few paces for his sandwich. However, after this insult was directed against him by the “city pusher,” he demanded an apology, but instead got another insult . . . . “you sonovabiche, you can’t eat until 12 o’clock.” The young fellow got mad and said “ what you call me sonovabich for?” The city pusher said “go up and get your ticket, you're fired.” The pusher started to hit him. This aroused the hatred so much of the other unem- ployed that a group of 50 or 60 started after the city pusher. Other groups from all directions were coming after the city pusher. Hell was a-popping, the city pusher ran for his life, got. into his machine and went to the city hall about 4 miles away. These unemployed workers are hired by the Family Welfare Agency to work for 30 cents an hour on this ity project. That makes $2.40 a day. But the Family Welfare gets paid $3.50 a day from the city. Speed-Up. The workers are treated like pri- soners. The city pushers blow a loud whistle at you when you slow up they had to walk 4 miles in a rain to their home. Police Try to Trick Workers. After the city pusher went up to the city hall, he came back with po- lice in his machine, police on motor- cycles. But they came back in the late part of the day just about quit- ting time, and attempted to hold up tickets on two gangs of workers, and at the same time letting the big bulk of the workers go home. But the rest of the workers waited to see what was going to turn up, and the remaining two gangs protested for their tickets. The idea was to pen- alize them through this segregation, either send them to a worse job at Jessup Cut or have them fired off the job altogether. Cops said, “Go home, you'll get your tickets in the city hall, you'll get some work next week.” But the men refused to listen, they were get- ting militant and threatening. One worker said, “Listen here cop, your fat belly is satisfied, your family don’t have to worry with your big salary, but my family is starving right now at home. Goddammit I wnat my ticket right now.” The tick- ets were handed over to everybody. A worker said, “They treat us like work for a minute. They say: “Get a move on you, or you'll get a tick-|dogs.” To look at the nice holy face of the mayor and the fat belly of Although the job is four miles from town, the Park Superintendent won't willow any of the workers to ride in the trucks after the day's work. If a worker comes 20 minutes late, they won't let him start on the job until 2:30 noon. Of course, from the two work he gets from the city, this half day penalty means starvation for his children. On one day its start raining at 10 e. m. The men had to stay around will after dinner to get their tickets, but they received pay only until. 10 a. m. After standing in the rain, Councilman Mueller, who would dream that such things happen in “civilized free Baltimore.” Corrup- tion galore is pouring out of the city hall, The working class of Bal- timore is being consumed by a bunch of human capitalist beasts. The Mayor lowers the street car taxes and raises the city sales tax, and re- duces unemployed relief. We must organize a strong Unemployed Coun- cil to demand real unemployment in- surance at the expense of the gov- ernment and the bosses. No forced Tabor!

The truth is that not only the Soviet Union is constantly increasing the production of goods but is also carrying on a tremendous program of construction. The Soviet Union is the only country in the world in which every worker has a job and real security. New Constructions. Near Tula work has now begun on what will be one of the biggest iron foundries in the Soviet Union and in the world. The first of its seven blast furnaces will be lit on January 1, 1933, according to, the plan. The others will follow rapidly. A cooking battery, a pipe-moulding factory and a power generating plant of 50,000 kilowatts will also be built as part o fthe Tula industrial combination. The workers of these factories will live in a new built town of 35,000 in- habitants, built along socialist lines. A big fish packing factory is being built on the Tchudsk Lake, near Leningrad. This undertaking will work in conjunction with a fish breeding institution which is already there and will produce 5,000,000 fish annually. Mechanized Factories, Thirteen new brick factories are approaching completion in the Kus- netck region. They will turn out 40,000,000 bricks before the end of the year. In addition, three com- pletely machanized factories will be opened in December and each of them will produce 10,000,000 bricks annually. The foundation stone of a new giant locomotive and carriage shop was laid in Verchneudisk in the Far Eastern Republic on August 24. When completed the factory will have a capacity of 1,080 locomotives, 12,000 good trucks and 2,000 passen- ger coaches annually. The average production of lathes anq other machine tools in 1932 has increased by 83 per cent, as compared with 1931, and in 1931 the produc- tion was 352 per cent higher than in 1929, Thus, what was a weakness in the work of socialist construction, a weakness deliberately caused by the sabotage of the anti-Soviet ex- perts, is now being corrected satis- factorily. This tremendous program of con- struction which is successfully being carried through despite the sabotage of the class enemies, the withhold- ing of credits by the capitalist states, etc., is fully appreciated when con- trasted with the fall of production and the construction shrinkage in the domain of capitalism, | COMMUNISTS WIN BLECTION PRIZES |Show Neeroes Should) Vote for Foster BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 13-—-The Toltimore Afro-American, outstand- ing Neero paner, awarded first prize of $100 to Bernice Thomas of Phila- edelphia, in its contest who should the Negro voater casts its ballot for %|in the National election campaign. The winner of the contest pointed out that the Communist Party should be supported by the Negro people. Miss Thomas was formerly a repub- lican and is a registered republican voter. A number of lesser prizes and hon- orable mention were also given to Communist voters. Mr. Chapman of Baltimore, winner of one of the prizes wrote: “It seems to me that ithe Communist Party is the only Party entirely for the laboring mas- ses. Under their administration we will be able to protect ourselves from unemployment, raise our low wages, shorten our working hours and make a comfortable living for ourselves and loved ones.” William Cuff of Car- lisle, Pa., writes: “Stop!” Fellow Ne- groes, contemplate! Would it profit you and your children to vote for Hoover and Roosevelt? Think of all the rebuffs and exploitations spon- sored by these two men; they all the time are planning your destiny—~ poverty .... Vote for Foster.” Miss Rozie Miller of Charleston, 8. ©., writes, “As colored citizens of the United States we have been denied many rights and_have suffered many wrongs, It is time we take a stand for our rights, and it be through choosing a Communist president, we will have obtained that for which we have struggled so long. Let Foster lead the way.” It is interesting to note in the Afro-American poil, that while the Communist candidates, Wm. Z. Fos- so|ter and James W. Ford received many votes, the socialist ticket did not get a single vote. * a Tampa Conference September 18 in N.Y.

The statement to the Legion Con- vention follows: Many posts and state conventions passed resolutions for the immediate payment of the Bonus, Passing of resolutions has come only because of the pressure of the rank and file. We marched against the wishes of ILLINOIS SHERIFF MURDERS MINER Third Degrees Him to Death in Jail Cell PEORIA, Til, Sept. 13.—Deputy Sheriff C. O. Skinner is in jail here, charged with the killing under third degree of Martin Virant. Virant as an East Peoria coal min- er. He surrendered voluntarily when he heard that he was wanted for questioning about a man killed in a fight that developed in a speak-easy. He was immediately slammed in jail at Pekin, and when he testified at the coronors’ inquest, he declared that Skinner and five other deputies “pretty near killed me” in a third degree inquiry, He told of threats against his life if he mentioned the heating he received, In spite of the danger from the murderous deputies, hired to break the miners’ strike, Virant was thrown back into jail. A few hours later, he was found hanging from the bars. Dr. William C.,McNally, of Chicago states after examining the body that he did not die of the hanging but seems to have been beaten to death. Coroner Allen, said his examination showed that he died either from brain concussion or from “knockout drops” which it is known the offi- cers forced him to swallow. He was hanged later to make it look like suicide. “I'm not afraid to die,” Virant tes- tified at the coroner's inquest, shortly before he was himself murdered. “Tm ashamed for the county to have officers like these. I didn’t know anyt hing about the murder and I told them that. “They hit me on the head and I think they broke two ribs, took turns working on me. Skin- ner knocked me down and kicked me and jumped on my neck. I couldn't talk because I didn’t know anything. They kept kicking me and calling me a damned liar. They pretty near killed me.” 252 at Congress of Cooperative Alliance SUPERIOR, Wisc., Sept. 12—The First Annual Congress of the Work- ers and Farmers Co-operative Unity Alliance opened here today at the Tower Hall with 262 delegates pres- ent from all over the country repre- senting workers and farmers coopera- tive organizations based upon the principle of the class struggle, and militant left-wing groups within the co-operative organizations controlled by the social-fascist Halonenite ren- egades, The main report was given by Wal- ter A.
