The boss was forced to make these terms as a result of the militant picketing, in which the strikers were supported by about 5,000 workers, and which effectively kept the scabs out. of the factory. The union, while not officially affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League, accepted the T. U. U. L. program of rank and file militant action. Chase Out Misleaders That the workers recognize the aid of the T. U. U L. and the Young Communist League, which was active in preparing the strike, was shown at the mass meeting last night, when the workers refused to have anything to do with two A.

L. speakers effectively ex- posed the tactics of these two mis- leaders, who had made a secret at- ‘tempt to unite with the boss against the workers. ‘An example of the sort of workers’ solidarity that mate this strike so successful was shown by the workers in the presers’ department. This de- partment is the key department, since if the pressers don't work, no ‘one can work. The boss tited to buy off the pressers by offering them spe- cial terms, but the pressers refused to accept this bribe, declaring that they refused to settle unless the other workers also won their demands.

Backs Doles to Banks. Earlier in the day, in a speech at Wheeling, W. Va., Roosevelt further showed that the democratic and re- Laer, ROOSEVELT peas by saying that “the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation is as much @ democratic measure as a republican measure.” Thus Roosevelt and the democrats claim at least half-credit for the policy of the R. F C. of giving millions of dollars of govern- ment funds in loans to the big banks and railroads, but not a cent for the unemployed. Father James R: Cox, organizer of the fascist “Blue Shirts” movement, who recently announced that he had retired: as a candidate for president and would back Roosevelt, sat_on the Speaker's stand at Forbes Field.” Boss Parties Agree. Roosevelt’s speech at Forbes Field now places the three capitalist par- ties, republican, democratic and so- cialist, officially on record against the bonus. The Socialist Party, in fact, beat the democrats to it; as far back as April 16 the “New Leader,” official organ of the S. P., declared that “the demand for bonus payment is unfair to the unemployed, to the debt- burdened farmers, and to the whole country.” This is exactly the same stand as Hoover and Roosevelt. In this way the socialists hoped to di- vide the veterans and the unemployed and to defeat the struggle for both the bonus ang unemployment in- surance, Only the Communist Party which gave fullest support to the last bonus march, is fighting for immediate payment to the vets. Only the Com- munist Party is actively backing the bonus march that the Natitnal Rank and File Veterans Committee is planning for Dec. 5 and is organizing the united front of vets, employed and unemployed workers to force the payment of the bonus and the es- tablishment of federal unemployment insurance.

This meeting was called by the Farm Holi- day Association leaders, who are against mass picketing or united front with the city workers, but the vank and file farmers of the Holiday Association invited Jack Bartley of the United Farmers League to ad- dress them, and gave him enthusi- astic support as he scored the Holi- | ditions of the workers are becoming intolerable. On the Last Lap of the ' Election Campaign By CLARENCE HATHAWAY ESS than three weeks remain until election day. The capitalist parties are in full swing in their efforts to deceive the toilers with their elec- tion demagogy. The Socialist Party is increasing its use of left phrases in an effort to keep radicalized workers from dealing death blows to capi- talism, The Communist Party and all sympathetic workers must now with all energy and the greatest determination rally all strength and resources for the election struggle. We are entering the last lap of the election campaign with the fourth winter of unemployment and mass suffering upon us. The con- The workers are fight- ing everywhere. Strike struggles are on the increase. The unemployed are fighting for their very lives. The ruined farmers are continuing their militant battles. The spirit of struggle, the spirit of revolt, is growing throughout the land, The capitalists are resorting ever more openly to the use of armed forces, to the use of their courts, to break the growing struggles of the workers. The government appears more and more open- ly as the Executive Committee of the capitalists. Shall we at such an historical moment during this years’ elections in the midst of the worst economic crisis in the history of capitalism allow the Republican, Democratic, and Socialist parties to so easily stem the tide of mass revolt? Shall we allow the bosses’ parties to continue their election demagogy without energetic resistance and mass mobiliza- tion on our part? These are questions that face every members of the Party, every revolutionary worker. The answer must be increased and improved activity. Every day, every hour, in the last. days are decisive. Every ounce of energy must be thrown into the election campaign. Let our Communist election campaign become a real election battle. During the election campaign we have the chance to establish con- tact with the widest possible circle of the toiling masses through our meetings and literature, to break into territories where we have never had any organization and to mobilize the tens of thousands of sympa- thizers (members of the revolutionary unions, left wing workers of the A. F, of L., members of the International Labor Defense, Workers Inter- national Relief, Friends of the Soviet Union, International Workers Or- der, the Unemployed Councils, language organizations, etc.) to take ac- tive part in the election campaign. We have the opportunity now to get into the Party thousands o€ good fighters. . . In some Districts we have succeeded in activizing the Party member- ship and a large number of sympathizers, The signature drive has al- ready resulted in putting the Party on the ballot in 38 states. We had very successful mettings in many (cities. We printed and sold more literature during this campaign than any time before — over a million pamphlets, not to speak of millions of leaflets. But we have failed so far to recruit members for the Party. We have failed to mobilize effectively the masses of sympathizers to participate actively in the campaign. We have failed to orientate the unions and mass organizations toward this work. Less than three weeks are left before the elections. We must en- deavor to pile up the largest possible Communist vote. We must draw in thousands of new workers into the Party during this pericd. Time is short, the task is big. We have to declare an emergency situation. All hands on deck! All available forces in the field! A general mobilization of all Party members, all members of mass organizations, all readers of the Party press. We have to fulfill this task. We have to win over as many workers as pos- sible from the influence of the other parties of the bourgeoisie—Repub- *lican, Democratic and Socialist, . * .

Irish Workers’ Paper Tells Real Story of: Belfast Demonstration 20,000 Fought for Relief in Gigantic United Front; South Ireland Workers Pledge Support BULLETIN DUBLIN, Oct. 20.— Defying a pouring rain and a strong police phalanx, thousands of unemployed workers marched toward the Leinster House, the seat of the Irish Dail, to demand relief from their misery and to protest against the burden of imperialist oppression.

The “Irish Workers’ Voice” says: “Scenes that no Belfast worker who witnessed them will ever for- get, occurred here tonight, when more than 20,000 workers—a great turbulent, seething stream of hu- manity, men, women, boys, girls and babies in their mothers’ arms— marched through the _ principal streets of the city to demonstrate their support of the striking relief workers’ fight, strike commenced in the morning. Last Friday’s mass meeting of 2,000 relief workers, despite the opposition of the cler; en. present, enthusiastically decided on action for the following demands:— Strikers’ Demands, “(1) Abolition of task work. “(2) Increase in scsle of relief to the following rates: Man, lis, 3d. ($2.60) per week; wife, 8s. ($1.36) per week; each child, 2s. (34 cents) per head. (3) Abolition of system of pay- ment in kind—all relief to be paid in cash, (4) Street improvement work, un- der the Exceptional Distress Relief Scheme, on schemes of a like na- ture, to be done under trade union rates of wages. (5) Adequate outdoor allowance to all single men and women who are unemployed, and not in receipt of unemployment benefit. “Over the week-end preparations were made for the fight. Of the 2,000 relief workers only 600 were to work today, as they get only one to four days’ work a week. Pickets went out this morning, and every man on the fifty or so road schemes downed tools. Then, form- ing in marching order, the workers demonstrated through the city, “Meanwhile, the working - class areas were being roused for tonight's great demonstration. The call went out for a great solidarity demonstra- tion against task work slavery and the Means Test.

And according to Conklin, Hoover said “Negroes and whites are equal before the law,” With this, Simmons asked the Negroes who see by the Scott- boro case and thousands of lynchers fires that“they are-nob equal before capitalist law, to be satisfied and and vote for Hoover. Ford took up Hoover's Cleveland speech, and showed how it contains not even promises for the unemployed and wage cut workers. Hoover's sol- ution of the problem of 16,000,000 hungry unemployed is for all other workers to go on part time, and withoyt any expense to the employ- ers give the jobless a day or two to work each week.
