Page Three DAILY WORKER, NEW WORK, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23 1932 Hypocrisy of Gov't Shown By Threats A International Notes By PETER HENRY STRIKE WAVE IN SPAIN MADRID, Nov. 14—A wave of strikes is passing over Spain. Some 20,000 Andalusian laborers are still out on strike, while several thousand more are striking in Catalonia. day 30,000 miners in the Huyera- |'Turon coal mining region of the As-| turias, around the city of Oviedo. went out on strike in protest against wage-cuts. The notorious “Civil Guards” have taken “extraordinary precautions, virtually placing the region under martial law. It is offi- cially estimated by government au- thorities that over 60,000 workers are now on strike throughout Spain. | The process of firmly establishing a capitalist republic in Spain, built on wage-slavery and . exploitation, goes on apace. But the awakened Spanish working class is prepared to resist. the efforts to set up a capi- paradise of wage-cuts and star- ; mn. They are determined to turn bourgeois. Spanish .

This was in the form of a statement issued by Frank T. Hines, administrator of vet- erans’ affair, who declared he was formulating a plan that would per- mit payment of the present value of the bonus at once instead of in 1945, The.plan is a fraud of the most brazen character. % proposes, in- ead of an average of $990, which is actually due each veteran, to pay an average of $530 or a little more than half—and this only to about 00,000 .who have not already bor- rowed 50 percent of the bonus, as permitted them by law. (These 800,- 000 are. for the most part well-to-do veterans who do not need the money). As for those who have already bor- rowed 50 percent, a total of 2,734,- 582 men, Hines proposes that the government pay them the balance, minus compound interest at 3% per- cent till 1945, which would give each vet only $35! But not content with this scheme for cheating the ex-servicemen out of the bonus, Hines, carrying out the orders of the Wall Street banks, is planning to swindle another group of veterans, those disabled in Wall Street’s. wars, by cutting off their present miserable allowances in or- der to finance this scheme. The Veterans’ National Rank and File Committee, which is organizing the National Bonus March to Wash- ington, warns against this swindle maneuver and calls on thousands of vets throughout the country to pour into Washington. and force congress to pay the bonus’ immediately Wwith- out cutting a cent off the disability allowances. ? es 8 6 Salt Lake City Vets Start SALT LAKE CITY, Noy. 22. ~— A strong contingent of Salt Lake City ex-servicemen has started for Kansas City, the first stop on the long trek to Washington.

Smith, ex-reverend like Norman Thomas, and like him a Socialist, declared, in a recent speech at the Bronx Free Fellowship at Boston Rr. that “it would be better even now | if the Soviet Union would be unarm- | ed.” According to Tucker no war was ever justified, not the American Rev- | olution of 1776 or even the Russian workers and farmers of the world one-sixth of the earth’s surface. Tucker was severely criticizeq by | worker after worker. They showed | how capitalism is the cause of yer, and only after the overthrow of that antiquated system would war and hate disappear, They pointed out that only with the coming Commu- nist society would war and exploita- tion of many by man be ended. These and other intelligent argu- ments had no effect on Tucker, the S. P. man and ex-preacher. The answers he gave, in that rich edu- cated voice of his, were completely silly. During the meeting a white worker asked courteously by @ note for per- mission to speak for a few minutes on the Scottsboro case. He was re- fused. Nevertheless he courageously went to the front of the hall and saiq that he was sent by the Inter- national Labor Defense to speak, that it was very important, that nine Ne- gro boys were framed up and their lives were at stake. This had no | effect on Rey. Land, who conducted the meeting. Rev. Land ordered the ushers to force the worker to sit down, —-LC. Thomas Ohio Meet Keeps Negroes Out CINCINNATI, O.—Norman Thom- as, Socialist candidate for President |of the U. S., came to Cincy to give @ sermon to his parasite class in this city on Oct. 23. They charged ten cents admission and those who didn’t have the ten cents could not come in. Negro work- ers were kept out. ‘The chairman who introduced Thomas was Bishop Paul Jones of the Episcopal Church, Thomas talk- ed for an hour and a half. Finally he openly said: “I don’t want a revo- lution,” —A Shop Worker.., Md. Steel Workers |S. P. Fails to Fool BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 22.—The steel workers of the Bethlehem Steel | Co. in Sparrows Point after the wage | cuts, after the speed-up system and jlayoffs, and even the remaining working part time, two and three days a week, were called again to support the manager of the wage cut- ting campaign, Herbert Hoover. Everywhere in Sparrows Point, in every department, you found posterss urging the workers to support Hoo- ver, But how do the workers think to- ward the different problems they are facing, and toward the election cam- |paign. They know that unemploy- ment is increasing, They are not organized to stop the wage cuts; the terror from the stool pigeons, They are beginning to understand the po- litical machinery of the bosses. In our department leaflets of the Foster speech in Chicago were dis- tributed. I asked the workers what, they thought about it. They answer- ed that it was the only solution for the workers’ problems, and that they would vote for Ford and Foster. In many instances workers asked me about the Socialist Party and the city of Milwaukee. When I give them the Daily Worker articles on this subject they are-very much sur- prised to learn that the: Socialist Party is also a party for the bosses. Many workers expressed the opinion that the Communist and Socialist Parties ought to get together. I ex- plained the difference, In order to convince the workers we told them to force the Socialists to hold a meeting, for the elec- tion of worker delegates, who were to go to Socialist Milwaukee and see the conditions there, We, Com- Tunists, we said, not only speak of the Soviet Union, but send worker delegates there to see things with their own eyes. As to the future Socialism I told him that if they hit us with wage cuts, we got to organize and fignt to stop wage cuts, and when we are faced with starvation, we got to or- ganize and fight, to get a loaf of bread, ‘The workers agreed ang after some of them going to the Foster meeting, ist Party tore up his card, and threw his button away, to give his vote to those on the right side of the barricades. —P.

These mis- leaders are utilizing their influence over great masses of workers to hold them back from struggle, and to smash those struggles which have already begun, In the needle trades industries the Socialist Party has proven its treach- erous character time and again. In many strike struggles of the miners, textile workers, shoe workers and other industries the American Fed- eration bureaucrats have also proven time and again that they used their influence to break strikes. Worker and farmer correspondents can help the misled workers by ex- posing the acts of these misleaders. In every mass organization of work- influence their revolutionary phrases should be contrasted with their acts of betrayal. These exposures should be based on concrete facts so that! they could be easily proven to the} workers, S.P.RELIEF HEAD GETS IT) Women Run Him | from Station Milwaukee, Wisc. The socialist supervisor Metcalf was booed and showered. with po- tatoes at K. K. Ave. and Potter Coun- ty outdoor relief station on election day. I was there for my relief with many other poor families. Then} comes Mr. Metcalf with some women. “Hello, gentleman,” a fellow yelled. “What are you going to give us after you will be elected governor?” Another said, “I suppose you would give us a bone without meat and then take it back from us.” A woman said, “that’s the fellow ‘who, cut my. husband’s wages from $4 to’ 80’ cehts a day.” While this hhas going on some more women booed him and he ran out in the alley. So did the people with potatoes and br through the alley they chased I sure was surprised to see that they were not red wives but just housewives who knew how to throw potatoes. Mr. Metcalf spends more time at the relief station than at his job as county supervisor. He does this in order to get relief for his friends and catch votes for the So- cialist Party, : —-L. 8. “FRATERNIZING AT THE POLLS”.

But we don’t expect him to get in this time.” Captain: wouldn't mind if he did get in. He is a very nice fel- low. I can’t see any difference be- tween him and one our boys. I saw him quite often and he always treated us right.” The socialist watcher looked to- wards me itt great embarrassment.
