Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson, says: “On the whole it was very well considered.” Daniel Willard ,president of the} Baltimore and Ohio ‘states: “I am| quite in accord with what I under-| stand to be the spirit of Governor | | Roosevelt's railroad policy... .

The/| platform of the Republican Party could be adopted by the Democratic Party and they could get along very nicely with it.” The Republican leaders further | confirm Foster’s statements. They! one and all declare that Roosevelt's | railroad program was stolen from| the Republican Party. Secretary of Labor Doak, Senator Watson, Sena- tor Hastings, Representative Snell, all Republican Party bosses, have publisheg statements to this effect. SCOTTSBORO PROTEST OCT. 5 Also Demand Release of Ford and Brown NEW YORK. — The Young Com- munist League of New York is cal- ling a mass demonstration of young workers, Negro and white, to demand the release of the Scottsboro boys. The demonstration will be held on October 5th at 6:30 p. m. at 120th St. and Lenox Ave, The case of the Scottsboro boys will come up before the United States Supreme Court on October 10, It is necessary that the widest pro- test wave and indignation of the Ne- gro and white workers be exerted in the effort to gain the release of those framed-up innocent boys. The Scottsboro case is part of the whole wave of terror and discrimi- nation of the boss class against the Negro people. In recent weeks the oppression has been clearly exem- plified in the outrageous sentencing of Jimmy Ford to one year imprison- ment for attempting to expose dis- crimination against Negroes at the Bronxdale Swimming Pool.

The delegation will leave on trucks and automobiles. ear ener Legion Vets Go to Cleveland. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 19.—Sev- eral of the delegates who attended the American Legion Convention here and who left the city last week announced their intentions to attend the Veterans Rank and File Confer- ence in Cleveland, Sept. 23 , During the convention the city was flooded with leaflets distributed by the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League warning the legion delegates to be on their guard against the leaders who were attempting to side-step the bonus issue, the condemnation of Hoover's murder policy and various other rank and file issues, Roy Robinson, who following the so-called death march around the capitol building in Washington at- tempted to cause the veterans to evacuate Washington, was at the convention, though he was not very active. Although he mde no public appearance, he registered a com- plaint with the local organizer of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League claiming that the WESL has some- how mistreated him. He let it be known that he would rather not have the bonus paid than have to acknowledge that the militancy of the WESL meas it Possible, Lawyers Take Vets’ Money. WASHINGTON, D.

OLGIN. HE working class is strong. It num- bers millions. It numbers scores of millions. It could be invincible. It has enough knowledge, enough skill, enough power to rule the world. Yet the working class is in chains. It is held down by capitalists controlling all the production forces of the world. It is held down by the machinery of goyern- ment, which is the tool of the property owners. It is held in leash by the weight of a deadly tradition which prevents worsers from realizing its own might. It is held prisoner by misconceptions. One of the greatest sources of miscon- ceptions is the boss press. This is the deadly enemy whom the workers allow to penetrate INTO THEIR VERY SOULS. The boss press pours into the minds of the workers respect for cruel “law” and op- pressive” “order”. The boss press instills fear into the minds of the workers who should fear nobody because they are the strongest power in the world. The boss press pours into the minds of the workers the poison of superstitions. The boss press pours into the minds of the workers the poison of pessimism, of abject pa- tience, of submission to hunger and mis- ery caused by their exploiters. Moreover, the workers PAY for the privilege of hay- ing this poison drugging their minds. Against a host of papers, big and small, rich with all means of luring the uncon- scious workers, equipped with all modern’ methods of misrepresentation, the Daily Worker is waging a relentless struggle.

The struggle was led by the Unemployed Council, As a result of the militancy of the Hooverville workers, the Salvation Army has sent some of its “lassies” to divide the workers by raising the Red bogy. The Salvation Army was quickly exposed, however, as an agent of the bosses when it acted as a stool pigeon and urged the Ralston bakery to refi the demands of the Hooverville workers, who were then planning to march on the bakery HUNGER MARCH IN WEST ALLIS, WIS.
