Is Told to Unite Boss Parties BERLIN, Now Hindenburg today Adolf Hitler, leader of the Fascist National Socialist Party to “form a government with a positive working majority in the Reichstag, and with a unified program.” To form a work- ing majority in the Reichstag, Hit- ler must get the support of the Cath- olic Centrists and the Nationalists, which would give him 55% of the Reichstag membership. Negotiations between Hitler and these two bourgeois parties have been proceeding secretly over the week- end, with a view to obtaining a block of the major bourgeois parties (what Hindenburg calls a “government of national concentration”.) This bloc will endeavor to “cure the depression” jn Germany at the expense of the German toilers, a task in which the purely bureaucratic Von Papen re- rime failed as its efforts were crip- nled by disunity among the German bourgeoisie. ¢ The recent Reichstag elections marked a defeat for von Hindenburg as well as for the German Fascists. Hindenburg’s endeavor to combat the economic crisis with an “authorit- arian” cabinet of counts and barons has failed, while Hitler sees his sway over millions of the petty bourgeo- isie and misguided workers rapidly fading away. Chastened by their mutual defeat—and by the impres- sive Communist gains in the elec- tions—they are combining now an at- tempt to provide a so-called united bourgeois government.

Aside from being designed to dupe the unemployed masses and defeat the mighty mass movement for un- employment insurance, and disrupt the Hunger March to Washington, the A. F. of L. resolution absolutely shuts out of the picture the fifteen million at present unemployed, inas- much as it deals only with those now | in industry who will later be thrown out of employment. Thus it aids the capitalist class in its policy of imposing mass hunger and starvation upon the milions now out of employment. Rank and File Action. As against this shameful trickery, this pretense of the A. F. of L. lead- ers to aprove unemployment insur- ance only to enable it to carry out its traditional policy of fighiing against any effective relief for the unem- ployed, the rank and file of the A. F. of L. unions and central labor ,bod- ie are fighting in increasing num- rs. ‘The Rank and File Convention also now in session here is working out @ program for real unemployment insurance and will expose before the whole membership the under-handed tricks of the executive council. As against such swindles the rank and file are demanding unemployment insurance for ALL unemployed—not on the basis of a starvation ration as is in the “Ohio plan,” but on the basis of the equivalent of a living wage during the entire per- fod of unemployment—52 weeks in the year and not 16 as is favorably mentioned in the Green resolution. — and brutal fascist dictatorship un- der the Nazi leader, the Social De- Mocratic (Socialist) leaders who paved the way for this monstrous betrayal of the German toilers by their support of Hindenburg conti- nue to sabotage the movement lead by the Communist Party for a uni- ted proletarian iron front against fascism.

C., Nov. 21.— While Negroes are constantly being framed up on fake rape charges, as happened in the Scottsboro case, the real outrages of white bosses against Negroes are generally hushed up. One such outrage has just come to light here. Virginia Heamer, 2 22-year-old Ne- gro girl of this little town in Cum- berland County, was raped by her white employer, Byrd McAnn, a few days ago. She reported it to her father, who sought out the white boss and gave him a seyere whip- ping. Whereupon a hireling of Mc- Ann trailed the Negro and murdered him in cold blood, The. murderer was arrested and is now in jail, but the probabilities are that he will leither gct off entirely or be given ja light papier: “ e Editor's Note—These outrages are part of the same system of national oppression of the Negro people that maintains the barbarous chain gangs and slave plantations exposed in Jobn L.
