BLUE SHIRT COX ENDS CANDIDACY Tells His Fascists to Help Roosevelt Capitalist papers give out an in- terview with the priest, “Father” Cox, at Pittsburgh, saying that he has withdrawn his presidential candidacy An favor of Roosevelt. Cox early this year organized a Fascist strong arm squad called, “The Blue Shirts.” They smashed . workers meetings in Pittsburgh until the workers organized their defense and stopped that. ¢ _ Cox called a national convention in St. Louis to launch the “Jobless - Party” which chose him as candidate for president of the United States. ‘The delegates were simply the Blue Shirt storm troops, transported from Pittsburgh to St. Louis by truck, An attempt to-merge the Jobless Party the “Liberty Party” failed.

The Supreme Court decisions is expected vomerrow, PRINTERS! VOTE DOWN WAGE-CUT Boss Proposal Means More Unemployment: ion printers are voting today on a tricky referendum, the second point of which, if carried, will give a heavy wage ut to about 6.000 book and job printers in this city Vote “Yes” on First Question. The referendum ballots were re- ceived in the chapels (shop organiza- tions) of the International Typo- graphical Union late last night. They are not as understood at the time of the meeting. They have two ques- tions instead of one. The first is thrown in to frighten the printers inte voting for the second one. The first one reads: “Do you favor a strike (or lockout) RATHER than to accept the proposal submitted?” (Editor’s note.—The emphasis here is as it is on the actual ballot). The second question on the ballot is the only one that has any right to be there: “Shall the proposed contract tendered by the Printers League be accepted?” The proposition of the’ Printers’ League (other job printers will follow its lead) is for 17 per cent wage cut on day work, 12% per cent cut on night work, a 40-hour five-day week with the privilege of working another day a week at straight time. There is also provided partial abandonment of priority so that a printer must beg the foreman for a job. According to the proposed agreement, printers will have to prove to the boss that they are, capable, instead of as now,, the boss haying to prove them incapable. . Officio] Threats. Along with the ballots came a statement by the Executive Council Ginternational office) of the I. T. U. which is an amazing combination of bosses’ propaganda for wage cuts and threats to the members if they do not accept the cuts. The statement says boldly: “It is much better to accept the best offer that can be securec than to be confronted with a strike or lockout under the present conditions.” Then it threatens to cut off unemployment benefits, to lay extra assessments on those _ still working, if there is a strike or lock- out. It says in the face of all ex- perience to the contrary, in all un- ions during this crisis, that wage cuts will reduce unemployment. It says no other printing trades workers will support the strike. Prepare Your Strike. The local appointed scale commit- tee controlled by President Hewson disapproves of the new contract, evi- dently for political effect only, be- cause local officials made no prepa- rations for a real strike. Printers! Vote “No” on the second question on’ the ballot, vote against the proposed contract. Vote “Yes” on the first question, vote for a strike if they cut the wages. This vote will have more to qo with stopping the wage cut than anything else you can do, except to be vigilant, and yourselves prepare to strike.’ LONDON JOBLESS DEFY COPS’ CLUBS Big Demonstration for ° _ Relief LONDON, England, Oct. 18,—Po- licemen, on horse and on _ foot, viciously swung clubs on the heads of unemployed workers who marched from all parts of London to protest against the hunger program of the MacDonald-Baldwin government, and to demand increases in relief. The unemployed workers demanded that they be heard, and paid no heed to the threats of MacDonald's police. When the police drove their horses on to the sidewalks to breaé& up the march, the workers set off fire- works to disperse the horses. As the workers neared the County Council Hall, at the opposite end of Westminster Bridge from the House of Commons, ‘mounted police with clubs charged directly into ranks of the marchers. At other points there were also attacks, by the police, against which the workers defended themselves with clones. About six worke.- were injured and 2 were arrested Wednesday. While only the Communist Party has been leading the battle against the disfranchisement of the Negro masses and of many sections of the white workers, the Liberty Party, headed by “Coin” Harvey, has now moved to exploit the Communist vic- tory ee has filed a mandamus pe- tition Nmilar to that filed by the Communist Party. Has Mass Support The fight lead by the Communist Party for the right of expression of political minorities is being support- ed by a number of workers organi- zations in this State. Workers, farm- ers and intelleciualg are urged to send telegrams to the Florida Sup- reme Court demanding that the Communist Party be placed on the ballot and recognition of the rights of the Negro masses and white work- ers to vote. Behind the attempt to bar the Communist Party frore the ballot is the fear of the white ruling class before the awakening political con- sciousness of the toiling masses, and the growing influence of the Com- munist Party as the only leader in the struggle against starvation, rul- ing class terror against militant Ne- gro and white workers, imperialist war and for the solidarity of white and Negro workers and unconditional equal rights for the Negro - masses, including the right of the Negro majorities in the “Black Belt” to de- cide and control the form of goy- ernment in the “Black Belt.” 5 tee Mass Fight For Rights NEW YORK—Similar — attacks on the Communist Party and the franchise .rights of work- ers are occurring in many other parts of the country. In the South, these attacks are accompanied by a new wave of terror by the Ku Klux Klan and other fascist organizations of the bosses. Grandfather clauses and literacy tests are being worked overtime to bar workers from the polls, especially Negro workers. In Pennsylvania alone 500,000 im- poverished workers haye ‘been cut off the voting list for inability to pay poll tax, as pointed out in yester- day's Daily Worker by William Z. Foster, Communist candidate for President. In the State of Maine, similar discrimination is being car- ried out against the unemployed workers who have been barred from the polls under the pauper laws of that State, The working-class of the whole country must rally to the fight lead 3, 1879.

TAYLORVVILLE, Ill, Oct. 18.— The Progressive Miners of America headquarters at Gillespie t oday struck another blow into the back of the Illinois miners fighting the 18 per cent wage cut. It ordered pick- eting to stop at Taylorville, where thousands of miners, b,y mass march- ing in defiance of militia twice called out, in spite of the murder of one striker and arrest of 2,000 have kept two Peabody Coal Co. mines closed, and the other two at low production. One of the seven companies of national guards sent here by the Re- publican governor, Emmerson, was withdrawn on receipt of news that the P.M.A. headquarters are them- selves smashing the picket line. It was the Springfield machine gun troop. Shabby Excuse for Preachery. 'The only excuse offered by the P. M. A. headquarters was made public by their publicity agent, Arthur Hughes, as follows: “We have stopped picketing temporarily in a spirit of cooperation with citizens who desire to see the soldiers leave.” Already the P. M. A. officials have forced through the recent state con- vention of the union a decision to allow the scale committee to sign contracts for $5 a day, which means the full wage cut, as already decided 8.000 SCORE | MURDER OF OLEX OLARI Pledge With Clenched | Fists to Carry.

This .worker was shot in the back by a policeman while taking part in a demonstration against eviction of an unemployed worker. The funeral was a demonstration not only against the murder of Olari, put also for relief, and against evic- tions. ‘The | procession past the rubber factories to the cemetary had 150 cars and a total of 2,500 marchers. It was conducted jointly by the Young. Pioneers, the Communist Party, the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League, the Unemployed Councils, and other mass organizations. B.D. Amis, Negro worker and Com- munist district organizer at Cleve- land, was a principal speaker at the court house. He called on the rub- ber workers to provide a thousand mere to take Olari’s place in the struggle. ‘The 15-year old daughter of the murdered worker spoke, and there and then joined the Young Commu- nist League. “Other speakers were: Williamson, organizer of the unemployed councils and Communist candidate for state ibreasnrer; Harris, district organizer of the. Trade Union Unity League. Wilt was chairman. Pledge to Carry On. The workers took the pledge with ¢lenched fists, to carry on the fight in which their comrade fell. Hundreds joined the unemployed councils and other mass organizations at the funeral. Many joined the Communist Party. The court house meeting endorsed the Communist candidates. Thousands of workers lined the on by operators and United Mine Worker officials. Elect. New Leadership. Hughes said orders came from the P. M. A. headquarters to the local unions outside Taylorville that “No more pickets are to go to Taylorville until further notice.” The National Miners Union and rank and file opposition groups fight- ing this sell-out call on the miners to elect their own strike committees at each mine and continue mass march- ing and picketing, to defeat the wage cut, -|rest the leaders, in spite of their streets to watch the funeral proces- sion.

SMASH JIM CROW LAW IN NORFOLK Negro, White Workers Hear Wicks NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 18—Defying the jim crow laws of the ruling class of the state of Virginia, hundreds of white workers filled half the city au- ditorium here and cheered Harry M. Wicks, who presented the program of the Communist Party in the election campaign. Wicks spoke in place of William Z. Foster, who is still to ill to resume his campaign tour. The meeting was held in the sam: hall in which Norman Thomas had the Negroes segregated on the plea that he “could not unmake the laws of the state.” But the workers rally- ing to the call of the Communist Party smashed through the bosses’ racial barriers for the first time in the history of Virginie. Significant Achievement. This signicant achievement for the Communist Party in showing in ac- tion how the Party struggles for equal rights for the Negroes, Wicks pointed out, is in direct contrast to.the tactics of the Socialist Party, which has among its leaders Norman Thomas, who crawls before the Southern lynchers as he did at Norfolk, and Heywood Broun, who said that he would not enforce the 14th ammend- ment in the South.

Two Receptions Question: What has been the re- ception you have received on your visit to this country? Answer: The reception I got from the immigration officials was not too cordial. They questioned me consid- erably before letting me in and then cut my stay here from the legal limit | of one year to only 42 days. In con-! trast to this was the reception I re- ceived at the National Rank and File Veterans’ Conference in Cleve- land. The warm, comradely, wel- come that I receiyed from the men} who fought against me in the last imperialist war was a demonstration of the true spirit of international solidarity. It expressed the feeling of the American ex-servicemen that while the last war was one in which we fought in opposite trenches in the interests of capitalism, the time has now come to fight in the same trenches against capitalism.
