Only the Daily Worker, which fights for the Interests of all tollers, _ black and white, has dared to pub- lish the facts in “Georgia Nigger” and to expose this infamous sup- pression campaign. The Daily Work- et draws the logical conclusions from the revelations in “Georgia Nigger” and tells the American work- ers that such barbarous conditions can be wiped out only by a deter- mineq struggle for equal rights for Negroes and for self-determination in the Black Belt, where they are a majority of the population. The “Chicago Defender” is opposed to this, one of the chief immediate demands in the Communist election platform. It tells the Negro workers to vote for capitalist candidates, in other words, to vote for the torture, the slavery and oppression exposed in “Georgia Nigger:” Negro and white workers, answer the misleaders of the “Chicago Defender” and the other Negro papers ‘who follow in its tracks —Vote Communist Nov. 8! BRITISH JOBLESS BATTLE POLICE 100,000 Resist Attack On Hunger March (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) police, who were wielding their own clubs on the heads and shoulders of the jobless. The battle surged up Edgeware Road, around the Regal moving pic- ture theatre, and around the marble arch to the entrance of Hyde Park. Renewed Struggle. In a lull in the fighting, one of the most vicious mounted police charges swept through this marble arch and plowed into the crowd in the park, which had not become much involved up to that time. But then they did take part in the struggle, and a re- newed battle raged. In spite of the police attack, the crowd stood fast although police finally managed to cut them in two parts along Great Cumberland St. Chief Inspector Knocked Out, ‘The official casualty list is 60 in- jured in Hyde Park alone. Among those wounded is Chief Inspector Oger of Scotland Yard. This par- Ucular dick got in the way of a hurled stone, Many other police are injured. Many of the jobless are not included in the official count, as they were clubbed down in streets Jeading to the park. One hunger matcher was found prostrated and nearly dead from starvation. There was no fighting until the Polics made their first raid near the emarble arch. Column after column of.

The columns carried red flags with the hammer and sickle, and placards with the demands: “Down with the Means Test!” “Down with the Na- bre Government!” leanwhile in the House of Com- mons the speaker of the house side- tracked a motion by one mem! that a delegation be allowed in from the: demonstration.

S. Bosses Admit Outlook for Capi- talist Industry Is Dark On the eve of the 15th anniversary of the November 7th Revolution new and greater achievements are registered by the Soviets in the prodigious socialist construction which despite obstacles of all kind goes on without let-up. Dark Outlook in United States These achievements stand out as living sestimenials of the creative ability of the workers and peasants + once they are free from the chains of the capitalist system of produc- tion. They are in sharp contrast with the continued decline of production in the United States. Despite the manufactured optim- ism spread by Hoover's agents “the outlook for the rest of this year and for the early part of 1933,” states the “Annalist,” a bankers’ journal which cannot be suspected of being involved in a ‘red whispering cam- paign,” “is darkened by the fact that the fundamental weaknesses of our situation have not been remedied; and that the necessary measures, especially the laying of new taxation, will inevitably produce new embar- assments.” Progress of Soviet Mercantile Fleet As against this outlook, rapid prog- ress is being registered in all fields of Soviet production. The shipping figures for Leningrad harbor created a new high record this year. In all other Balite harbors the level of shipping dealt with is steadily falling. In Leningrad, how- ever, it is just as steadily rising. This year 2,211 vessels were unloaded and 1,127 loaded, representing a consider- able increase on last year’s figures. ‘The Soviet mercantile fleet is steadily increasing in size and mod- ernity. Yesterday the Marty yard in Leningrad launched two new timber carriers of 9,000 tons each. Both ves- sels were made by the electro-welding process. They will be allotted to the Archangelsk timber trade. The work for the modernization and extension of the Soviet railway system is also proceedng rapidly. The Colomna works have now turned out the first big locomotive. This model has a speed of over 100 kilometers an hour drawing a train from 18 to 20 passenger coaches. Up to the present the longest passenger trains in the Soviet Union were thirteen coaches. New Natural Resources Discovered The scientific exploration and pros- pecting work being conducted in the Soviet Union is revealing ever new natural resources. In the north of the Soviet Union near Petsonora rich coal deposits have been discovered. Rapid progress is also being made with regard to the Soviet air fleet. The network of the civil aviation ser- vice rose from 26,800 kilometers in 1930 to 42,000 kilometers this year. The Soviet Union manufactures all its machines in its own factories and from Soviet materials, The civil air fleet has giant aero- planes like the Ant-14 which carries forty passengers and is now being produced on a mass scale for use on the main air lines in the Soviet Union, and small machines like the Avionette-G.8, which is now engaged on a trial flight from Moscow to Gorki-Gorod, Saratov, Sebastopol and back to Moscow. : The Leningrad works have just turned out a little machine, Fanera- 2, with a 75 HLP. motor to carry three persons. The trials have been en- tirely satisfactory. The air line Mos- cow-Leningrad is now regularly flown at night and in fogs. Light signals have been set up along the whole route. The use of the aeroplane on other fields is also making great progress. Hydroplanes are doing fine work with the Soviet fishing fleets locating shoals. In this way much time is saved and the catch tremendously increased. The destruction of the catch to keep up prices is an unknown phen- omenon in the Socialist Soviet Union. The results of the aeroplane sowings on the big collective and Soviet farms can now be judged accurately. It transpires that the area sown by areoplanees has produced a 46 per cent better crop than areas sown in the old fashion. Aeroplanes are now being used for artificial fertilization. Manufactures in USSR to Increase Output in | Final Quarter of 1932 MOSCOW.—The final quarter of the current year will see a consider- able increase of production in the manufacturing industries. Compared with the final quarter of 1931 tho production of cotton stuffs will in- crease by 219 million yards, represent- ing an increase of 24.3 per cent. Ten million pairs of socks and stockings will be produced more than were produced in the same period last year, representing an increase of 25.7 per cent. During the final quarter of this year the boot and shoe manufactur- be, ing works will produce 23.8 million | **¢ pairs. The production of laundry soap will increase by 30.3 per cent and the production of toilet soap by 6.2 per cent, The production of glassware will increase by 14.4 per cent, china pro- duction will increase by 36.4 per cent, and the production of matches will be double that produced in the final quarter of 1931. , BUNDLE ORDERS FOR SPECIAL 15th SOVIET ANNIVERSARY EDI- TION MUST REACH THE DAILY WORKER BY NOVEMBER FIRST! | it immediately! Challenge to Bonus Marchers! By SAMUEL BRODY (Workers Film and Fote League) ibs is a difficult to write calmly about a film like “Washington Merry-Go-Round.” It is as painful to condescend to an analysis and discussion of this open attack on the working-class—and in particular a militant section of it: marchers—as it would be to write dispassionately about a statement by Hoover that no one has gone hungry during the economic crisis, or a Fish report to Congress on “forced labor” in the Soviet Union. Vicious Attack on Vets Here is & hysterical, vicious and unconcealed denunication of the worker-veterans and destitute petti- bourgeois who, defying the tear-gas and bayonets of a capitalist state, marched to Washington to demand their back pay, “Washington Merry- Go-Round” is nothing less than a continuation of the physical struggle against the bonus marchers by dif- ferent means. The medium em- ployed in this case is the movie, which all respectable bourgeois movie theoreticans and experts have always held up as the supreme art for “popular entertainment” into which only such vulgarians and de- secrators as the Russians would dare inject political propaganda. But the faithful boys are all lined up now. Willie Boehnel of the World- Telegram, for instance, states in his review: “It (“Washington Merry-Go- Round”) begins by taking a decided stand on the bonus issue.” This same Boehnel who. works up cold sweats over political propaganda in Soviet films now takes it for granted when Hollywood-employs the screen to fight against the interests of the Amer- ican working class. Boehnel forgets to say that “Washington Merty-Go- Round” ends by “taking a decided stand” on Fascism. That also is prob- ably accepted by him as a matter of course. Justfies Hoover’s Murders To the heroic marchers who starved and bled and died on the fields of | Anacostia in their struggle for bread I report the following: “Washington Merry-Go-Round” labels you as “‘loot- ers of the treasury,” “panhandlers” and “unpatriotic citizens!” It justi- fies the program carried out upon the orders of Hoover. It calls upon you to either starve where you are or come back to Washington to organize a Fascist army. It blinds every real issue by placing the blame for every- thing on the shoulders of some in- fluential bootlegger instead of the boss-class as a whole. In short, it might haye been directed\by Douglas MacArthur instead of James Cruze. Expose This Film This outrageous slap in the face of those who are fighting starvation must be exposed and attacked wher- ever it is shown. The bankers who control the Hollywood cesspools must not for a single moment be permitted to think that the masses will passively swallow atacks of this nature against its political and econ- omic interests. Raise your voice in your local movie theatre when this film is shown. Compel the management to withdraw Veterans, make the struggle against this film a part of your fight for the bonus! And we've discovered a rat!

This year’s cotton crop is being har- vested in the Soviet Union at a rec- ord speed, a capitalist press dispatch from Moscow admitted yesteday. It is stated that of the total crop amounting to 1,500,000 tons as com- pared to 1,000,000 last year, a third had been harvested by October 15th. At the same time the capitalist press dispatch informed that the grain, beet, flax and other crops are harvested at a lower speed and hind last year’s. This is due to the fact that labor turnover is much lower in the cotton fields than elsewhere in the Soviet Union. The workers remain more at- tached to the fields, vast numbers. three in the icing dept, One of the workers in the Icing Dept., was working 25 years for the concern, This was the company’s gratitude to the worker for her long service. Just compare this case with the conditions in the Soviet Union, where a worker gets his pension after reaching an age where work becomes too hard on him, During the whole summer we were so slow, that the average worker put in not more than 6-8 days a month, and the wages were about $10 to $12 per week; such | wages were paid to single or married people. We all looked forward for the fall, expecting to get busy, but instead of work, the workers were laid off and |the rest of us will have to work part the bonus | time—the same conditions as we had! during the summer. improve the conditions for ourselves and our families by building shop committees.

VOTE COMMUNIST! —A Uneeda Worker. Bosses of Sparrow Point Try to Divide Up Workers of Plant Sparrows Point, Md. One of our hardest problems in reaching our shopmates in the Spar- rows Point plant of the Bethlehem Steel Co. is the scattered way in which the workers live. so many different places that we cannot mention them all, and they have to travel all the way from 242 to over’ 20 miles to their work. Some of them even live as much as 35 miles away. I used to wonder why workers of Sparrows Point were scat- tered over such a broad expanse of territory. But after realizing the situation, I can see that this is no accident. It is avery clever move.on the part of the bosses, This prevents large numbers of workers coming together outside of the mills into a solid body. A Steel Worker. Workers Pay Cuts; Bosses Blow-Outs Ford Worker Writes of Class Contrast Dearborn, Mich. Lest we forget, this is the third an- niversaty of the Edison Jubilee, the expensive blow-out put on by Henry Ford to glorify Edison, held in Oc- tober, 1929. Ford spent $10,000,000 on this cele- bration and made a grand event of it, special trains, bands, entertainers, speakers, dancing, fine things to drink, whole floors in Detroit's largest hotel paid for this event. Every guest had his railroad and hotel bill paid by your Uncle Henry Ford. Men worker for weeks preparing the Rouge shop for this show, such as making a hole through a solid brick wall about 15 feet from the ground and an elevated runaway over the machine and men working below. So that the invited highbreds could ride around in one of Ford’s Lincolns and see just how such a fine blowout was paid for. We common herd were fenced off and kept back with clubs.

While working at his machine, another worker next to him san quietly to himself the International. The worker answered back with the In- ternational. The other worker looked upon him with a smile and at night when they went home, the other worker began to talk to him and talked about the conditions of terror in the shop.

How easily the product of our labor is taken away from us. Again, I would like to know if Ford spends $10,000,00 on a drunken finan- cial spree, how he can have the nerve to come back some 2 or 3 years later and give his workers that paid for this spree wage-cuts of 30 per cent and 50 per cent.

Hoover Sets Up Sham Peonage “Inquiry” as Vote Cashing Move WASHINGTON, Oct. yote-catching move, President Hoover yesterday made a belated gesture of “investigating” peonage conditions on Federal government construction work in Mississippi.. This fake “in- vestigation” move follows: on the heels of the efforts of the adminis- tration to discredit the reports of private investigators on the shame- ful conditions in the flood control construction work, on which many Negroes are held in virtual slavery and subjected to the most brutal tor- ture. ‘The hypocritical nature of Hoover's “investigation” is clearly shown by the persons he has named on his board of “inquiry.” Robert R. Moton, Negro reformist who whitewashed the American Occupation of Haiti, is named to head the board. Other members are Judge James A. Cobb, Negro reformist and republican tool in Washington; Eugene Jones, executive secretary of the capitalist supported strike-breaking agency, the Urban League, and Lieut. Colonel U. S.
