DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1932 Georgia Negroes, Beware! State to ‘| |Build Two Roads 7 } ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 9. — A new | terror drive against Negroes is ex- | pected with the announcement that the construction of two new roads in the Augusta area is contemplated by the State Highway Board, Georgia's roads, which various ca- pitalist ballyhoo organizations point to with so much pride, are built by unpaid prison labor consisting mostly of Negroes on chain gangs. Many of these Negroes are unemployed workers, picked up on vagrancy” or other fake charges. The horrible conditions in the prison camps of this state ,where prisoners, especi- ally Negroes, are tortured and mur- dered, is exposed in the book by John L. Spivak, “Georgia Nigger”, which the Daily Worker is now pub- Wehing serially on page 4. In the construction’ of one of the new roads, federal funds (probably those of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation), will be sought, it was ennounced by J. W. Barnett, chair- man of the State Highway Board. The R. C, F. is composed of both republicans and democrats, and both of the two major capitalist parties are wholeheartedly supporters of the system of chain gang torture which is used to build most of the state roads jn the South. | !

BOSTON, Mass., Nov. 9.—Thirty- five families, several of whom had been thrown off the relief list, came to the Welfare Department to protest discrimination and to increase relief which is being given in insufficient ‘mount. The workers were immsedi- ately attacked by the officials and hired thugs who used black-jacks in- discriminately against men, women and children. The police arrived on the scene and arrested three work- ers. The workers offered militant resistance and are now preparing to Present their demands again. As part of these preparations a hunger hearing was held in the West End of Boston, where a committee was elected to see Councillor Fitz- gerald and to demand immediate ac- tion, A number of unemployed and children testified at the hearing.

Several minor engagements are reported along the Putumyo River. Both governments continue to rush troops to the scene of hostilities. The war already threatens to in- yolve several other. South American countries. The government of Ecu- ador has accused Peru of invading Eucadorean territory and is rush- ing troops to the Peruvian border. Chile is also reported taking an in- terest in the undeclared war, as its bankrupt government weighs the ad- visability of following the neignbor. ing governments in seeking a capital- ist “way out” of the crisis and head- | ing off the revolutionary struggle of the impoverished masses by. a war adventure. Instigated by Anglo-U Like the undeclared war still rag- ing between Bolivia, and Paraguay the present war was directly insti- gated by American and British im- perialists who are seeking to advance their rival interests through the arm- ed forces of their native puppets, as they are also doing in China, The controversy over the Leticia region, claimed: by both Peru and Colombia, is merely a pretext to cov- er up the fight between the two rival imperialisms for control of Peru. Co- lombia is already dominated by Am- erican imperialist interests. The United States Government recently permitted the fitting out of an ex- edition of American officers to aid the Colombian army. This expedi-~ tior. sailed several days ago on an American vessel which was sold to the Colombian government and con- verted into an armed troops trans- port with the consent of the United States Government. .

The Bolivians have been driven out of most of their forts in the Gran Chaca. The Para- guayan command claims to have cap- tured Bolivian military plans, drawn up by the German General Knudt, “for use in the event of war with Argentina, Brazil or Peru.” A sharp government crisis exists | in Bolivia as a result of the Bolivian reverses and the growing opposition of the toiling masses to the war, The bourgeois political parties are fever- ishly attempting to organize a coal- ition or national government for a united offensive against the masses. . undauntedly, uncompromisingly and effectively.” The Scottsboro frame-up, he de- clared, has “thrown an intense spot- light on the ghastly situation of the Mecroes in the South”.

(European Correspondent of the Daily Worker.) KHARKOV, Nov. 8 (By Cable).— The streets of Kharkov were filled today with men, women and youth celebrating the 15th anniversary of their freedom, of the workers’ and farmers’ power. At exactly ten in the morning a monster coloreful demonstration com~ menced in the recently completed Dzerjinsky Square. This imposing spacious square running six blocks in length offered a grandiose spec- tacle as one column after another of worthy, brave Ukrainian workers and farmers who so resolutely are building their new socialist life started to march, In the reviewing stand were Com- rade Petrovsky, President of |the Ukrainian Soviej Government, other Soviet officials, and many trade union leaders, Comrade Kossior, Secretary of the Ukrainian Communist Party, Gopner, répresenting the Comintern, some of the best shock brigaders of Dombas, Moscow, Stalingrad and other centers, collective farmers and foreign worker delegates. “No Power on Earth Can Take Away Our Gains.” Following Petrovsky’s fiery greet- ings “from the Ukrainian workers and farmers to the toilers |of \the whole Soviet Union and the world”, an impressive military parade took place, lasting over two hours. Artil- lery, Infantry, Cavalry, Tanks, Avi- ation and Sanitary Corps partici- pated in the parade. The workers’ enthusiasm burst out in a tremend- ous “hurrah, no power on earth can take away our gains.” Tractor plant workers, tncluding two truckload of Americans, had the honor of heading the workers’ col- umns as the plant {was |recently awarded the Lenin Order. Workers of the giant Locomotive plant, elec- tro-chemical, turbine generator, bicycle and other factories fell in line carrying banners, hailing (he achievements of the Five-Year Plan and cheering their leaders. | Best Answer to Imperialist Slander. The sight of smiling joyous faces of men, Women and youth pouring through the square is the best answer to the slanders circulated labroad concerning the Ukrainian toilers,—it testifies to the revolutionary spirit and enthusiasm of the workers an peasants. On- the 15th anniversary of the Russian Revolution many new work- ers’ clubs, [restaurants, apartments were opened in Kharkov, as the Rail- road Club near the Southern Station Krasny, the Workers District Club Blacko, several apartments and also the largest turbine plant in Europe. ‘The workers are especially proud of the fact that the Ukrainian people, once oppressed and kept backward by ezarism, is now in the front ranks of the Soviet republics, transforming their former impoverished illiterate country into a modern land of big industry and widespread culture, where |the standards |of living in countryside are steadily rising. Workers, Peasants’ Achievements. The most outstandirig achievement of the Ukrainian workers and peas- ants in the socialist construction is Dnieprostroy, the largest power sta- tion in the world which was recently completed. Ukrainian agriculture {s also ad- vancing on the path of socialism. with 30,000 tractors and ten thou~- sand combines [where {before the evolution there was not even a cingle one. . The workers’ wages in the Ukrai- nian industry increased one third over those prevailing in 1928. The collective farmers find big material end social advantages in collective farming. With unconquerable spirit and high class-consciousness the lan workers, as well as the workers of the whole Soviet Union are march-} ing in the city and countryside to- ward socialism on the 15th anni- versary of the great November 7th Revolution. Farmers Organizing in Pocatello, Idaho POCATELLO, Idaho.—We feel very proud in having succeeded in putting the Party on the ballot in Idaho, and we are going full steam ahead in organizing the farmers. Comrade W. L. Wright, our very capable organizer, in his last letter says: “In Buhl held two meetings, big crowds; held big meeting in ‘Twin and the fortitude to undertake to fight is not as an isolated, accidental ‘miscarriage of justice’, but as a ty- pical example of the whole process of law and civilization of the South, deserves the highest praise, We shall, on our part, not relax our campaign to enlist the hugest possible number of intellectuals . .. to rescue these innocent boys.” NEW YORK, N.

But, during the same period they re- port that the number employed drop- ped 25,000. These statistics deliber- ately falsify the true situation. Actu- ally, the number officially reported as no longer unemployed have simly been dropped from the unemployment re- lief lists, so that unemployment has in reality increased instead of declining. And on the fact of it, the siatistics themselves are idiotic—both the un- employed and those employed are de- creasing at the same time. What do they want us to believe—that work- ers are just vanishing into thin air? Or is the true explanation that the first figures is broadcast while the contradicting employment Agures are simply not printed. “All the news that’s fit to a Oh, yeah? .

JAIL COMMUNIST LEADER; NORFOLK Stir Race Hatred to Break Rent Strike NORFOLK, Va.—Fred Allen, Sec- tion Organizer of the Communist Party, was arrested Monday night as he was one of the speakers at a mass meeting of 600 tenants on renv strike. At the station the arresting officers declared that Allen was a “Communist,” but they did not know what charge to bring against him. After. going out and talking with police headquarters by tele- phone, they charged Allen with “try- ing to start a riot of the Negroes agents.” Hundreds of workers followed Al- Ten to the station. One of them was arrested on the charge of “failing to move on.” Another insisted on going with Allen to the station, so he was arrested. At the station he was searched and a number of cop- ies of Labor Unity and the Liberator found in his possession. The charge was then made of “selling magaznies without a permit,” which was later changed to “distributing magazines and leaflets.” Allen and the other workers were later released on bail. Bond for Allen was set at $100 and for the others at $25 each. The case a be tried in police court Thurs- lay. Seventeen members of the Com- munist Party and the Unemployed Council are now facing various charges before the courts here. In court yesterday Detective Novitzky declared that “we have got to get Aller. and the other leaders in jail to stay, regardless of the expense.” Joe Benson, Field Organizer of the Unemployed Council, and Roy Rudd, Chairman of «the Tenants’ Strike Committee, are still being held in jail. Their appeal bonds have been set at $500 each. Today a motion was made in corporation court be- fore Judge Sargent for reduction of the bond, but this was refused. The prosacutor at the hearing tried to stir up race prejudice by declaring “the real issue is that Negroes tried to intimidate a white woman,” re- ferring to the presence of a girl stenographer in the office of one of the real estate agents, Benson is very ill, but is held in solitary con- finement and given the worst pos- sible treatment. he was leaving Liberty Hall, where! against the police or the rental/ Lawrence Children | Force Some Relief Prepare Big March | LAWRENCE, Mass., Nov. 9.—A del- egation of 25 children representing 500 children in nine schools under the leadership of the Youth Commit- tee of the Unemployed Council, con- fronted Mayor White of this city in militant demonstration demanding relief.

In_ the election campaign which hie fhas conducted Roosevelt's sole program in dealing with unemploy- ment was the program of Hoover: Self-liquidating public works (which would give employment to only an insignificant fraction of the jobless) and charity to be contributed largely by those who still have jobs. On the question of the bonus, Roosevelt also supported Hoover's policies in apposing immediate payment of the money dus the starving veterans, Activities In Congress, Roosevelt's party, the Democratic Party, vied with the republicans in the last congress in their efforts to throw the whole burden of the crisis on the workers. Te Reconstruction Finance Corporation, a joint repub- lican-democratic organization, gave billions in so-called loans (actually gifts) to banks and railroads, but not a cent to the unemployed. The scandalous donation of $80,000,000 to the bank of Charles G. Dawes shortly after he resigned as chairman of the R. F. C. was approved by both demo- crats and republicans, The $2,122,000,000 fake “relief” bill passed by congress was sponsored by the democratic vice-presidential nom- inee, Garner, and the democratic senator, Wagner, being revised and modified by the republicans, It pro- vided only for loans to states and public works appropriations, but not a cent in direct relief. The $1,000,- 090,000 currency inflation bill, which Jowers the purchasing power of the dollar and therefore the real wages of the workers, was a joint demo- cratic and republican measure. The so-calleg “luxury tax,” which raised the prices of many articles used by the workers, such as soap, tobacco, etc., was also passed by a Coalition of the two parties. It was a democratic congress- man, Martin Dies of Texas, who sponsored, and another democratic congressman, Dickstein of New York, who seconded, the vicious Dies Anti-Alien Bill which provides for the deportation of all foreign- born members of revolutionary or- ganizations, especially of the Com- munist Party, This measure, ac- tively supported by the fascist re- publican congressman, Ham/lton Fish, was passed by the House of Representatives and reported on favorably by the Senate Immigra- tion Committee. It will be acted on at the next session of congress. The Democratic Party, the party which maintains the lynch-rule and oppression of Negroes in the South, is thus seen as fully as reactionary as the Republican Party. Only mass struggle of the workers and poor farmers, under the leadership of the Communist Party, can defeat the hunger program of Wall Street's new servant in the White House. | International | Notes By PETER HENRY. CHAMBERLAIN AS SOVIET AGITATOR In the House of Commons, Neville Chamberlain, Chancellor of the Ex- cheequer, discussing the Ottwa Im- perial tariffs, made the following ad- mission. regarding the Soviet advan- tages in prod jon: “How are you to compare the costs where there are no overhead charges in the shape of interest on capital, in- vestments on land, etc., as in ordinary trading? It is possible under the Rus- sian system to ignore various items of expense which must be taken into account by ordinary traders.” In other words in the Soviet Union there are no landlords getting rent, no capitalists and shareholders draw- ing interest, none of the burdens on industry that are the very life-blood of capitalism. This is so much more ecient than the capitalist form. Thanks, Your Excellency, for the inadvertent admission! SOCIALISTS IN THE CLASS STRUGGLE In Birkenhead, scene of the recent huge unemployment demonstrations in England, the Communist ticket in the municipal elections was headed by Comrade Rawlings, an iron-molder, who has been in jail awaiting trial since September 17th following the demonstrations. One of his opponents on the Labor Party ticket was Alderman Mrs, Mary Ann Mercer, Justice of the Peace and former Lady Mayor of Birkenhead. This Labor Party “light” was one of the justices on the bench who refused to grant gail to Rawlings and the other workers arrested in Birkenhead, Socialists again as henchmen of the reaction, doing the dirty work for the ruling class.
