Y. “Times” claims that Nazi and Communist workers are strik- ing to destroy the trade union. The truth is that hundreds of Nazi ad-| herents, workers employed on the transit system, followed Communist | leadership into a united front for ‘an immediate strike aaginst the wish- es of their fascist leaders. The lies spread by the “Times” and the So- cialists about the cooperation of the Communists with the Nazi leaders are exposed by the Times dispatch itself. An A. P. dispatch in the same issue of the Times states that the Nazi strike leaders have decided to eall the strike off because the gov- ernmental arbitration board had made a final wage cut decision. How short-lived lies are! Here we see Nazi, Socialist and Comniunist workers in a true united front tvom below striking 100 per cent while the Socialist and Nazi leaders do all they can to break the strike. No wage cuts, not even one cent off wages is the Communists’ slogan, and tens of thousands of German workers are following their leadership. It is the Socialists’ and Nazis’ hard luck that this had to happen just on the eve of the German Reichstag elections. This strike is an object lesson that will make many thousands of Berlin workers resolve that on Sunday, Nov. 6th, their slogan must be: VOTE COMMUNIST! 3 . ‘THE REICHSTAG GREETINGS On Sunday, the new Reichstag will be elected in Germany. Already we hear a reduction in the boastful claims of victory made by the Nazis. By now they claim only 40 per cent of the total vote. The Nazis’ consis- | tent sabotage of the strikes against Von Papen’s wage cuts has revealed their protestations of undying oppo- sition to Von Papen and Hinden- burg to be nothing but an empty sham. Those German workers still misled by Hitler are beginning to see this and it is expected that the Nazis will lose millions of votes as com- pared with the July Reichstag elec- “otionsfi ‘The up-surging strike wave throughout the country, with work- ers out on stirke under Communist Jeadership, and against the Socialist trade union bureaucrats and Nazi Jeaders will most certainly cause hundreds of thousands of Socialist workers fed up with Socialist betray- als of labor to shift their vote to the Communists. Moreover, huge numbers of the German middle classses feel deceived by Hitler's failure to achieve tangible | results, and their swing towards mon- | archism will be reflected in an in- erease of the Nationalists’ vote. ‘To sum up, the Sunday elections fm Germany will show's huge drop Democrats will also lose considerably. t= Democrats will be gained by the Communists, who will also gain large t sumbers of workers who followed | WBitler’s leadership until the present wrike wave.

Disfllusionment ate at the core of the National Mine Workers strength. The strike was broken without bloodshed. Lean miners look levelly through solemn eves and say: ‘T couldn't deny my God’. Religion in this case was on the side of the strike-breakers.” Nothing about troops, about sher- iffs, about bloody company thugs, about the betrayal of the United Mine misleaders. Everything was veaceful without bloodshed. It also shows how the bosses are trying to break our strikes against wage cuts and speed-up by creating struggle between workers on religion.

Bosch, Minne- |sota state president, are linked up |with the Farm bloc “Progressives”, the fake “farmers’ co-operatives”, and with the social-fascist Farmer- Labor Party. They placed them- selves at the head of the farm strike movement in order to head it off. This was most clearly brought out in a speech made by one of the local fakers at a Wisconsin farmers’ mass meeting, in which he endorsed the farm strike because “if we don’t de- |mand something, the Communists will, and they are multiplying as fast as mosquitoes.” When the Governors’ Conference took place in Sioux City, Iowa, in Septemebr, the Farmer-Labor Gov- ernor Olson of Minnesota made a bombastic statement to the press that “if the farm strike spreads to Minnesota, I will call out the Na- tional Guard, if necessary, to help the farmers.” Well, the farm strike did spread to Minnesota, but Governor Olson's actions were just the opposite of his | demamgogie statements, as could be expected. When the farm pickets were blocking all highways into the Twin Cities, Governor Olson called upon the sheriffs and their’ deputies to “keep order”. By “keeping order”, he meant to smash the picket-lines. But unfortunately, the sheriffs and their deputies met their match. Dur- ing the course of several pitched bat- tles between the deputies and the aroused farmers, one sheriff was knocked unconscious. The State Police then raided the picket camps. The solidarity of the city workers, employed ai unemployed, were pledged to the farm strike by the Communist Party and the Unem- ployed Council, which endorsed the strike and organized solidarity dem- onstrations in Minneapolis and other cities, raising the slogan of joint action to fight for higher prices for the farmers and lower prices for the city workers e capitalist political parties are against the farm strike. The Re- publican and Democratic parties say so openly; the “progressives” like Brookhart, and the Farmer-Laborites like Olson, give lip-service to the farm strike, but the actions of Olson in breaking the strike in Minnesota should show the farmers how much they can believe in these faker’s “sympathy”, The Socialist Party has come out openly against the farm ers of the Middle West, was threatening to develop into a mass movement, « as evidenced in Norman speeches. strike, Thomas’ party that has endorsed the farm- ers’ struggle against bankruptcy and |ruin, and offers in its election plat- form the only program for the imme- diate interests of the small and mid- dle farmer.
