The fighting spirit of the workers had caused the hearts of the reformist leaders to sink into their boots and at last. they have succeeded in “get- tim; the trouble over with.” The refutn*to work order is a shameful betrayal of the men whose strike was StL solid. The company was able to. fin no more than a skeleton serv- ice and that very irregularly with thief Sdssistance of marines, The Catungnists won tremendously in prestige during the strike owing to the. fact that they fought in the front’ ranks of the struggle. The strikes of the bakers and gas workers have’ also been called off.

The employers have “now tried to put through the ut by other means and with the assistance of the reformist trade union teaders. However, the dockers hhaye-'pejected the proposed re- organization with an overwhelming majority. At the appeal of the re- yolutionary trade union opposition the “dockers carried out a 24-hour protest strike against the intention of the court of arbitration to ratify the~agreement between the em- ployers and the union leoders.

Campbell, who has acted in an advisory capacity here. Stalin’s article entitled “Mr Camp- bell Inventing,” refers specifically to the interview Campbell had with him in 1929. He writes: “The book en- titled, ‘Russia—Market or Menace,’ by Mr. Campbell, the well-known agri- cultural man who visited the Soviet Union, was recently published in the United States in English.

This senseless fiction, turning the facts upside down, can be believed only by deserters to the camps of Kautsky, Wells and Mr. Trotsky, In fact, the conversation with Campbell had no relation to the question of Trotsky nor was Trotsky’s name mentioned’ during the conversation, “Another fabrication of Mr. Camp- bell’s: is when he states that in sending him records of our conver- sation I added the note: ‘Preserve this memorandum, it iaay become at some time an important historical document,’ As a matter of fact, the record was handed Mr. Campbell by the interpreter, Yaro'sky, without any note whatsoever.

Into New Territory IRON BELT, Wisc., Dec. 30.—Three delegates on the National Hunger March repotted here to a mass meeting, on Dec. 25, the first such meeting ever held in this town of 800 inhabitants. They got a good recep- tion and smashed a lot of the lies being told about the hunger march in the capitalist papers. As a result of the workers and unemployed workers awakening here, this town gave 50 votes out of 340 total cast to the Communist can- didates in the November elections. In 1928therewerebut In 1928 there were but three votes here. Rea edge and consent of the Wall Street government!

Wage-Cuts WASHINGTON, D. C.—Represen- tative McCormack, demoocrat;-. of Massachusetts, has introduced a res- olution in the House to refund to snow shovelers, holiday workers in the Postoffice and other emergency gov- ernment employes the pennies stolen from their day-wages under the Hoo- ver government's Economy Act, This move was forced by the grow- ing resentment against this open rob- bery. It is also a move to make the workers believe that the democrats are opposed to wage-cuts; their rec- ords, however, in federal state, county and municipal governments prove the contrary. More than 1,000 snow shovelers, in- cluding many bonus marchers, were per cent of their pay under the Eco- nomy Act, The real stand of the Democratic Party was revealed by Representative Dickstein of New York, democratic chairman of the Immigration Com- mittee, who reported favorably the proposal to compel all employes in the Immigration Bureau to lose one month’s pay.

(a Mellon company) and the Caribe Sindicate (controlled | by J. P. Morgan). Fritz Linge, a German sailor and one of the men who signed up on the Sea-Fox told why he refused to sail. “When I realized that I was to be used to shoot down Peruvian workers and to teach the Colombian workers to shoot down their brothers in Peru, T would not go”, he said. “During the world war, we were cal- led Huns and baby killers.

Marine Workers Union on Job ‘Vincent McCormack of the Marine Workers Industrial Union explained that the union of which he is a mem- ber was the one to find out about the equipping of the Sea-Fox and pledged the support of the marine workers in the struggle against im- Perialist war. A delegation of five was elected by the meeting to make their protest to the Superintendent. The gateman refused them admittance, stating that the superintendent had not yet come in. In reporting for the delegation, William Simons, National Secretary of the Anti-Imperialist League and delegate to the Amsterdam World Congress Against War showed that the wars in South America are @ vart of the struggle for world su- premacy between the United States and Great Britain and a part of the preparation for attack against the Soviet Union. “We the members of the working class of the United States” he added, “should do all in our power to stop the shipment of munitions and ships to the warring South Am- erican countries. In this way we will fighting not only on behalf of the toiling masses of Latin America, but for ourselves in our fight against starvation and imperialist war.” The number of policemen on the scene grew, but they did not dare to attack the demonstration. Significant Action After the meeting before the Dry- dock, the workers marched in line with raised placards to the Workers Center at 136 Fifteenth St., Brook- lyn, where Simons pointed out the significance of the demonstration and called for concrete organizational work, for election of anti-war com~ mittees in the factories, on ships and docks and mass organizations, “Let us build in this country a broad united movement against war, on the basis of the Manifesto of the Am~- specific ac- tions against the South American wars and in support of the Anti-War Congress to be Urguay on Feb. guard, Let each one of TUSKEGEE MUST TAK SOUTHERN DAILY LAYS UPRISING TO RADICALS begs a Headline in Pittsburgh Courier greater activify on part of Negro reformist leaders against rapidly grow- ing influence of Communist Party among Negro masses.

Alabama Lynch Bosses Set Next Tasks for Tuskegee Heads Praise Them For Betraying Negro Cropper Leaders to His Death and Order Greater Effort to Block Communist Influence Among Negro Masses By CYRIL BRIGGS In addition to praising the Negro reformist leaders of Tuskegee for their Judas act in turning Cliff James leader of the croppers struggle at Reeltown, Ala., over to the landlord- police lynch gangs, the Southern white boss lynchers have ‘set new tasks for their reformist lackeys at Tuskegee for combatting the spread of Communism among the brutally oppressed Negro nationality. Call For Anti-Red Drive This is admitted in an article in the Dec. 31 issue of the Pittsburgh Courier, an unofficial organ of the National Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People of which Dr. Moton, Tuskegee Institute head, is a leader. In an eight page scream- headline ‘Tuskegee Must Take Stand Against ‘Reds’” the Courier itself again responds, as in the Scottsboro Case and the Camp Hill massacre of Negro croppers, to the demands of the Southern white ruling-class for an offensive against the revolutionary workers supporting the struggles of the Negro masses. This, despite the significant admissions in the Courier’s article of the economic and national oppression background of the present tremendous struggle of Alabama Ne- gro croppers against the landlord- Police terror, These admissions are contained in bracketed interjections by the Courier in a statement quoted from the Memphis (Tenn.) Commer- cial Appeal, as in the following: Landlord’s “Law and Order” “The Commercial Appeal editor writes: “The resistance to law (anything the will of white people in the South is conceived resistance to law) shown by the members (the share croppers who were attempt- ing to hold a peaceable meeting, seems to be a recognized bit of tactics in the Communist strategy that seeks the overthrow of our government. Law and order cer- ly must be made supreme. Also he normal functioning of govern- ment, in the delegation of power through ballots and not bullets (ex-. cept as used by Southern whites to Suppress meetings among Negroes), must be preserved. It is obvious from the violence near Tuskegee out for the shipments of men or munitions and to notify at once the American Committees for the Struggle Against War, so that our action may be quick and effective.” This demonstration was prepared by the South Brooklyn Section of the Communist Party on short notice, that the enemies of law and order and the present system of govern- ment have established a consider- able foothold among the race that Tuskegee Institute is endeavoring to make into law-abiding, useful citizens. “Tt is plain, therefore, that there is additional and even more yital work ahead of the Tuskegee insti- tution, Lynchings are on the de- crease while Communism is grow- ing. Plain should it be that the harder fight must be conducted a- gainst the greater menace.” In its first interjection (anything against the will of white people in the South is conceived resistance to law), the Pittsburgh Courier deliber- ately attempts to blur the class lines of the struggles in the South. It lumps together all “white people in the South” despite the fact (admit- ted even in the lynch bosses press) that white croppers and exploited farmers in Tallapoosa County are supporting the struggles of the Negro croppers and. farmers, protesting the attacks on them, and hiding wound- ed Negro croppers from the landlord- police lynch gangs. , Continue Reformist Poiicy This lumping together of “all white People in the South” as enemies of the Negroes is not accidental. It is @ continuation of the policy of the editors of the Pittsburgh Courier and other Negro reformist leaders to con- tinue the jim-crow isolation of the Negro People, to smash the growing unity of white and Nekro toilers in joint struggle against starvation, ,a- gainst the same forces which rob and oppress Negro and white toilers, It is the policy of the white ruling class, supported by the Negro re- formist leaders. The editorial of the Memphis Com- mercial Appeal clearly reveals the white lynch bosses’ conception of the role of the Tuskegee and ‘other Negro reformist leaders as assistant hang- men of the white lynchers in their murder drives against the Negro masses, Peddlers of Faise Information That this is the role accepted by these reformist leaders themselves is shown in their action of turning over Cliff James to the police of the Jand- lords and in furnishing the landlords with lynch-incitement material in the false information that James had confided to Dr. Dibble of the Tuske- gee hospital that “he was sorry he didn’t kill any of the officers” in the struggle at Reelton, Dec. 19, between without any public call for a mass demonstration. . the croppers and the landlord-police lynch gangs. ba Many Cities Arrange Daily Worker Ninth Anniversary Affairs Celebrations of the ninth anni- versary of the Daily Worker are being arranged all over the coun+ try.
