F. of L. to the widespread starvation of the American working- class was again revealed yesterday in a statement issued by William @wcen, president of the Federation. While Green was forced t0 admit that mil- Mons of workers will suffer from starvation this winter as never before in the his- tory of the coun- try and that no means are yet in sight to prevnt this suffering,” he stated that the millions of starving unemployed “will have to be sup- ported by charity and . +» patriotism of the highest order.” Follows Boss Policy.

Lyndon, who is already on the} bench, have been put forward as the} “unity” candidates for judgeships by | the GOP and Tammany. A Sinister Move This “unity” move has a sinister meaning for the workers not only in New York but throughout the coun- try. It aims to widen the rift be- tween the Smith and Roosevelt dem- ocrats within the Democratic Party and secure the reelection of Herbert Hoover, the hunger and war presi- dent. Simultaneous with this “unity” move was the decision of the Ap- pellate Court for mayoralty elections on November 8th. Morris Hillquit together with one section of the Tammany machine were fighting in the courts for this decision. It was in the course of this maneuver that Hillquit was proposed as a fusion | candidate of the Socialist Party and the other capitalist parties, ‘Wage Cut Drive of McKee Now that the decision has been rendered it is probable. that an un- derstanding will be reached for Tam- many to again put Jimmie Walker forward as its candidate. Meanwhile Acting Mayor McKee is trying to prove to the real rulers of the city, the Wall Street bankers, that he is the best candidate by putting through sweeping wage cut and relief cut measures. This “Unity” move further proves that the “Daily Worker” was ab- solutely correct when it declareg that the Seabury Investigation was a poli- tical move and not an attempt to clean up graft in the city. It not only helped the Republicans but gave Roosevelt an opportunity to slip out of rendering a decision on New York graft through the resignation of Jimmie Walker. At the City Dem- ocratic Convention the delegates laughed out loud at the mention that among Hofstader’s merits was the fact that he headed “a great com- mittee.” At the same ‘time the del- egates supported him as a “unity” candidate for judge. The support which the Socialists gave to the Hofstader Committee under the pretext that it was a weap- on against Tammany Hall gave the impression that graft can be elimin- ated within the capitalist system. “Capitalism,” said Karl Marx, “came into existance dripping blood and filth from every pour.” To abolish graft and corruption, capitalism must be abolished. The workers must defeat this “unity” of the capitalist parties by building a mass united front around the Communist candidate and plat- form in the election campaign.

Ritchie of Maryland, denouncing the continued efforts of the boss courts to railroad Lee to death. Working- class organizations country are urged to send similar protests at once. An All White Jury The second trial of Lee was as) much a farce as the first. Again the constitutional rights of the Negro workers were denied by the court. ‘This time, two Negroes were included on the Jury panel. The International Labor DefenSe attorneys demanded that more Negroes be included on the panel, and pointed out that since the prosecutor had ten peremptory challenges it would be easy to el- iminate the two Negroes. The court overruled their objections. The pro- secutor then proceeded to eliminate the Negroes. The jury which re- turned the lynch verdict was an all-} white jury, composed mainly of rich farmers, Frame Up Charge Yuel Lee is charged with the murder of a white farmer and his family for whom he once worked. Although Lee left the farmer's em- ploy several weeks before the crime, he was at once because he throughout the | | |of a day's wages. imated Co-op. had once had a quarrel with the farmer over an attempt to rob him The prosecution Was unable to prove that Lee was anywhere near the scene of the crime.
