BANKERS RECOGNIZE CHILE SANTIAGO, Chile, Oct. 21—Satis- fied that the present government of Chile “will satisfy” the American bankers recognition of that govern- ment has been made by the United States. This in spite of the treaty which declares that all governments which get in by force will not be recognized by the U. S. ae * NEW RIFLE AGAINST JOBLESS DAYTON, O., Oct. 21—Dayton. po- lice are trying out a new high pow- ered rifle in “preparation for emer- gencies” this Winter, The “emergen- cies” are connected with the grow- ing refusal of hungry unemployed workers to starve. ‘The bourgeois press boasts that the effect of shots from these high pow- ered rifles is so terrific that oranges struck by their bullets exploded like hand grenades. “RED STAR” SCORES BRITISH STAND ON SOVIET TRADE The abrogation of the British-Sov- jet trade treaty is “‘a clear expression of the unswerving course of the Na- tional-Conservative Government tow- ard weakening Anglo-Soviet rela- tions,” the Red Army’s paper “Red Star” is quoted as declaring editor- jally in a capitalist press dispatch from Moscow. Referring to the fact that unem- ployment increased by 150,000 under the National-Conservative govern- ment, “Red Star” concludes that while “several hundred. thousands are not inclffiuded in the Conserva- tive count,” the situation of British workers will be made worse by the renunciation of the British-Soviet | 7 treaty. U. 8, FIRM RUSHES WAR PLANES TO BRAZIL TROY, O., Oct. 21—The Waco Air- craft Co. has received an order from the Brazilian federal government for 20 planes, amounting to $250,000 to be delivered in thirty days.

MUNITIONS SHIP HEAVILY GUARDED Carrying Weapons for Capitalist” War BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Pier 33, of the Atlantic Basin, -was. thickly sur- rounded by armed guards and special policemen, carrying side arms, as ‘the Santa Barbara pulled out last night at 11 p.in., loaded with ammunition to deal more death to the workers being slaughtered in the Bolivian-Para- guayan war. Seamen asking the Treason for this unprecedented guard | around the pier were told the ship was carrying gold bullion. The Santa Barbara is not carrying gold bullion. It is carrying 1,500 cases of small arms munitions for Mauser rifles, with 1,300. rounds in each case, all stowed and locked behind steel bulkheads. Rounding Panama Canal, the Santa Barbara will make Callao her first port, and ammunition will be unloaded at Mollendo, Peru, from whence the imperialist butchers ex- pect to ship it to Bolivia, there to be used by the American oil companies in their fight for the rich Chaco region. Seamen and longshoremen were urged today by the Marine Workers Industrial Union to be on the lookout for shipments of.arms and munitions and to refuse to load or carry this material.

Yesterday Judge Farrell hurled a challenge into the faces of tens of thousands of workers and ex-service- men by sentencing Bruno Cherney, a vet, to 5 days in jail. The judge, however, withheld the | Sentences of the remaining 20 vic- tims of his frame-up, because of the monster demonstration of workers massed in front of the court when he sentenced Cherney. Hundreds of workers thundered their resentment at Judge Farrell's action, and only a barrier of a hundred policemen, armed with clubs and guns and backed up with machine guns mounted on motorcycles, vented the workers from storming the court- e, ‘The letter, addressed to the Interna-| hous tional Red Aid, of which the I.

This insolent challenge of the ruling class be met. Militant workers the world! over, regardless of color, must, stand shoulder to shoulder and demand that this legal lynching be stopped. “The Scottsboro case, with its background of hysteria and race prej- udice, is symbolic of a deliberate icy to separate black workers from white workers; to set up antagonisms between workers of various races and itionaliteis. The working-class can nyer emancipate itself unless all workers, regardless of race, creed, color or nationality, stand together in the common struggle against the master class. Regardless of the de- cision of the United States Supreme Court, the fight for the Scottsboro boys must be intensified ang con- tinued until they are free. “Mass protests the world over will fave the Scottsbor oboys. “Mass protests the world over will “ing about my freedom.

YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1932 CITY EDITION Price 3 Cents NORFOLK JIM-CROW LAW FIRST TIME Enraged Police Look On But Make No Effort To Attack; Socialists Segregated Negroes Wicks Declares Action at Foster Meet Symbolic Principles NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 21.—The Virginia Jim-Crow As- sembly Law was defied for the first time since its passage when Negro and white workers met here on October 17 in the city auditorium, and mingled freely. ‘The occasion was an election campaign rally at which ©H. M. Wicks spoke in. place of William Z. Foster, Communist presidential nominee, whose lillness prevented his appearance. Ne- gro and white workers mingled in the hall, sitting wherever they chose. They refused to comply with the Jim-Crow seating arrangements cal- led for by the state law. They cheer- ed the speaker when he stressed the fourth point in the Communist elec- tion program—equal rights for Ne- groes and self-determination for the black belt. “Our action here tonight,” said Wicks, “is symbolic of our determi- nation to break Jim-Crow lines and all racial barriers, and achieve equal rights for Negroes. The unity of the black and white workers is greater than’ any Jim-Crow and segregation Jaws, and we shall break these laws and defeat any- one who tries to uphold them. The Virginia and other Jim-Crow laws and customs can be smashed by the united action of the workers, black and white.” Police Afraid to Attack. The detectives, uniformed police and local boss-class politicians who were present, were in a state of frenzy at this open defiance of the State Jim-Crow law, but feared to make an attack or any arrests be- cause of the evident solidarity and determination of the workers present. The Virginia Assembly Separation VBill, sometimes Known as the Mas- senburg Bill, was passed by. the-gen> eral assembly of Virginia and went into effect on June 10, 1926. It de- clares that “it is the duty of any person or institution maintaining any public hall to separate the white race and the colored race and to set apart and designate in each such public hall certain seats to be occu- pied by white persons and certain DEMONSTRATE AT osteo ; Sens.” | The law provides that failure to comply with tiese provisions shall be punishable by a fine of $100 to $500. The law also provides for the ejection of persons who refuse to {comply with the Jim-Crow seating arrangements, In this same hall, Norman Tho- mas, Socialist candidate for presi- dent, recently held a meeting at which the Jim-Crow regulations were obeyed to the letter. Thomas excused himself on the ground that he “could not unmake the laws of the state.” Wicks, in his speech indicted Pres- ident Hoover as responsible for the shooting of a war veteran in “Bloody Thursday”, the attack by police and jthe army on bonus marchers at Washington. He declared that the present starv- ation of millions was not due to lack of food, but to capitalist control of food supplies, saying: “If we did not raise a grain of wheat this year, there would be enough on hand already to feed everybody.” He called for united front. struggle of Negro and white workers against wage cuts, and for relief. Wicks is Communist candidate for U.S, senator from’ Pennsylvania, | against, James A. Davis, Republican, of the Moose lottery swindle.

Boo '‘’ammany Speak-' ers in Columbus Circle More than 2,000 workers in Colum- bus Circle last night booed Tammany Hall speakers who drew up there in a jarge truck and unsuccessfully tried to “steal” a meeting of the Sixth Avenue Action Committee of the Unemployed Council. The Tammany outfit broad- cast “prosperity” songs to drown out the voices of the Unemployed Council speakers. ¢ : | The Capitalist Parties United Against Bonus Only the Communist Party Fights for the Back Wages of the Veterans (Editorial) OOSEVELT’S formal declaration against the bonus uncoy- ers the depth of deception to which he and his support- ers descended in the early stages of the campaign and dur- ing the bonus march. They pretended to be for the bonus and indignant over Hoover's attack on the bonus marchers. It has always been clear that when Roosevelt would have to make a public choice between ‘the unemployed and hungry veterans, and the bankers and the general interests of capi- talism, he would choose the latter. This needs to oecasion no surprise. But what is important is that the Roosevelt declaration, coming at this particular time, shows that the Wall Street rulers demand from its “opposition” candidate a statement which the bankers and bosses believe will discourage the mass mevement for the immediate payment of the bonus. They are alarmed by the revolt of the rank and file of the American Legion against the anti-bonus policy of the leadershio. They are med about the coming bonus march to Washington being organized by the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League. They want public declarations of unity against the immediate payment of the bonus from their servants, 'HE SOCIALIST PARTY has been on record against the bonus for a long time. Norman Thomas in “The New Leader”, official organ of the S. P., on February 7, 1931, came out against the bonus on the same grounds as Hoover—that it would jeopardize the financial situation of American capitalism. He expressed the same concern about the balanc- ing of the budget of the Wall Street Government—a budget, the greatest amount of which goes to maintain the army and navy and to prepare for imperialist war. The Wall Street Government can give billions of dollars in back taxes to the bankers and industrialists and organize raids upon the treasury in the interest of bankrupt financial firms but the de- mands of the veterans for their back pay must be turned down, and this meets with the approval of the Socialist Party. The socialists hypocritically oppose the bonus on the grounds that it would give special consideration to this section of workers, poor farmers and ruined petty-bourgeoisie—the veterans. What is this special interest which they pretend.to oppose? That four million hungry ex-servicemen shall receive the payment which the government promised them upon their return from a war which they were compelled to fight in the in- terests of Wall Street—a war in which the ruling class coined great for- tunes out of the blood and sufferings of the masses. The socialists are opposed to the payment of the bonus because it may interfere with the efforts to bring capitalism back to stable condi- tions. This means that the socialists favor the overcoming of the crisis in the capitalist way—at the expense of the suffering and misery of the great millions of people. To “restore” capitalism means to maititaiti the system of wage slav- ery—means néw wars, hew Slaughters and worse misery for the workers. Tt is Necessary-to get rid of capitalism, to overthrow it and to establish the rule of the working class and farmers, and thus abolish unemploy- ment, poverty and wars. e . ALL capitalist parties, Republican, Democratic and ‘Socialists, are op- posed to the bonus. Only the Communist Party fights for the im- mediate payment of the bonus, defends the interests of the veterans as part of the great exploited American masses. Only the Communist Party organizes and leads the working class to aid the veterans in their fight for the bonus, Only the Communist Party fights to get rid of a system which drove the workers into the last world war and prepares a new one, which denies its obligations to the veterans and keeps them in pov- erty.

Socialists in Plea to G.O.P. to Help Them Get on Ballot OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Oct. 21. —Sigfried Ameringer, Socialist Party Campaign Manager in this State, is authority for the statement that the socialists may vote for Hoover here this year in retaliation for the re+ fusal of the democratic controlled state board of elections to allow the Socialist Party a place-om the ballot. Thomas Appeals to Roosevelt NEW YORK.—Norman Thomas has wired Governor Roosevelt in connec- tion with the barring of the Socialist Party from the ballot in Oklahoma, saying: - , “Newspaper dispatches say that you expect to receive the Oklahoma elec- toral vote by an overwheling major- ity. I wonder if you know that such a victory, as the matter now stands, would be purchased at tne price of disfranchisement of thousands of citizens? “I prefer to believe that you did not connive in this disfranchisement and are, in fact, totally ignorant of it, but I trust that you will im: = ately repudiate the Democratic Pi of Oklahoma which has stooped to such contemptible tactics.” - , ae Sana Turn to Boss Parties The Oklahoma socialist leaders turn naturally toward the Republican Party, as their only means of action, and the national leaders of the so- cialists, appeal to the democrats, in @ slavish, apologetic letter, begging SPRINGFIELD, Ml, Oct. 21.— Roosevelt in his speech here today, in the heart of the mine strike area, kept a discreet silence on the mine wage cuts. He repeated his previous state- ments that the government should Iend money to banks now holding farm mortgages, and ask them not to foreclose “sound” mortgages. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 21—Gov- ernor Roosevelt is here, visiting Lin- coin's tomb in the hope of swinging some Republicans to his side, and promising in his speech later today | to show how the “mining industry can be stabilized.” - The state: government here which | floods the strike centers with militia and suppresses meetings and smashes Picket’. lines, is Republican.
