| ) By ROBERT HAMILTON RED ELECTION VICTORY COLOGNE, Jan. 15. (By Mail).—| TA the municipal elections jn the in- dustrial town of Bruehl, near Col- ogne, the Gerrnan Communist Party was the only party to make appre- ciable gains. Although the total vote fell below that of the last Reichstag elections, the Communist vote rose to 24 per cent of the total poll. The Socialists polled 15 per cent and the | Nazis 12 per cent of the total. The Catholic Center is the biggest party, with 40 per cent of the vote, a steep drop from its Reichstag vote, when it had 47 ae cent of the total. The Communist Party now hag nearly as many voters behind it as the Social- ists and Nazis together. | ee THE SPECTRE OF IN EUROPE Rumors are ourrent in Prague which sound suspiciously like the re- ports of the days just before the World War broke out in i914. The Prague dispatches stci> that the Hungarian governmer.. has decreed that all reserve officers be called to the colors on March 8th, while no male persons between the ages of 18 and 36 are issued passports for travel abroad any more. The Hungarian Legation in Prague denies these rumors, but the very fact that they are current indicates the tremendous tension existing be- tween the imperialist powers. The world is a seething volcano today. War Against Imperialist War! es @ POISON GAS KING FINANCES SOCIALIST PARTY LEVERKUSEN, Jan. 15. (By Mail). | —A socialist young workers’ center was recently dedicated here, in the stronghold of the German chemical trust. Strangely enough Geheimrat Duisberg, chairman of the 1G-Farb- enindustrie, the German chemical trust, was present at the socialist cel- bration. When workers protested against the presence of this captain of industry, the socialist trade union officials ad- mitted that Duisberg had donated 25,000 marks for the center and wanted to see how his money had been spent. The poison gas kings and muni- tions manufacturers, headed by Duis- berg, have contributed millions of marks to the fascist funds. Now they ate throwing a few thousand marks at the reformist socialists by way of a little bribe. Socialist workers—who is financing the Socialist Party all over the world? LIEBKNECHT AND LUXEMBURG The day before their bestial as- sassination, Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg wrote defiant edi- torials for the newspaper they had just founded, the “Rote Fahne.” Rosa’s editorial, written in hiding, ended with these flaming words: “Order reigns in Berlin!” You in- sensate hangmen! Your “order” is built on sand. With the clank of chains the Revolution will rise again tomorrow to terrify you with its trumpet blast: I was, I am, I shall be? Liebknecht wrote: The vanquished of today will be the victors of tomorrow. For defeat is their teacher. The German pro- letariat still lacks revolutionary tra- ditions and experience. And only in tentative trials, with the mistakes of youth, in painful reverses and fail- utes can it get the practical training that guarantees its future victory. On the occasion of the 16th anni- versary of their murder, with the German working class face to face with the naked fascist dictatorship, we can do no better than to recall these challenging, inspiring last words of the German proletariat’s unforget~ table leaders. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN 1932 ‘The Berlin “Rote Fahne” was sup- pressed for more than one-third of the year during 1932. It was forbid- den to appear on no less than 124 days last year. Including the sup- pression decrees issued against it in 1932, the “Rote Fahne” has been sup- pressed 50 different times since 1919. The German Communist press was suppressed during a total of 919 days during 1932. The growth of the Communist Party during the year proved that its press is so firmly anchored in the proletariat that—suppression or no suppression—t he Communist press remains the fighting weapon of the German working class. : FIRST SOVIET DIESEL ENGINE The first Soviet Diesel engine for tractors has been built in the exper- imental shop of the Chelyabinsk trac- tor plant.

New Bill to Aid Farmers’ Enemies “Relief” for Banks Is Aim of Hull Bill WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Clearly the result of the farmers’ mass re- sistance to foreclosure sales and fear- ing outright repudiation of all formal indebtedness, Congress moved today to put over a fake “mortgage relief” measure sponsored by Senator Cor- dell Hull of Tennessee. During the week the militancy of the farmers had resulted in six of the leading insurance companies of the country suspending foreclosure sales against mortgages totalling) nearly $2,000,000. While represent- ing a partial victory for the farmers and a vindication of their militant tactics, the concessions by the in- surance companies does rot substan- tially lighten the terrific bovcen on the shoulders of the farmers, inas- much as nearly $10,000,000 in mort- gages is still held by local banks, the majority of them direct agents of Eastern financiers. Forced to yield as a result of the pressure of the farmers, the insur- ance companies, banks and other mortgage holders are looking to Con- | gressional “farm relief” measures which will provide “relief” to the mortgagees rather than to the ruined | farmers, Senator Hull's proposal fits snugly into this category. By the provisions of his bill, the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation would be author- ized to hand over $1,000,000,000 to loans for paying interest installments and delinquent taxes and “obtaining the agreement of the holder of the} mortgage, in return for these pay-~ ments, to grant a two-year postpone- ment of foreclosure.” Thus all the agencies who have) been tightening the noose around the necks of the farmers would share in this “relief” fund,” while the latter would continue to struggle against debts due té farm implement manu- facturers, commission merchants and} local banks and merchants who hold notes for loans made. And all this} in the face of the lowest farm prices} in the history of the country. | Meanwhile hearings continued to-| {day on the domestic allotment bill. | In its present form the bill proposes! a bounty to the producers of wheat, + cotton, hogs, tobacco, peanuts and, rice. The bonus thus proposed is| to go to farmers who can prove they} have reduced their acreage 20 per) cent, and the fund for the bonus is) derived from a tax levied against the processor and miller but passed on the consumer. | ‘The politicians have been very} dubious about the bill from the be-/ ginning, not because of the fact that it offers no relief to the farmers, but because it would be so difficult to persuade the farmers to support the bill. Trap for Farmers. This bill, already passed by both houses of Congress, provides for $90,000,000 for crop production loans for farmers. This money is to be taken from the funds of the Re- construction Finance Corporation and is to be distributed by the Secretary of Agriculture. A first lien on crops is required in exchange for the loan. “joker” of the bill, as far as the farmers are concerned, is that it gives the Secretary of Agriculture power to demand a 30 per cent acre~ age reduction from those applying ing as a direct agent of the big pro- ducers and marketers in schemes to control the market and jack up prices of goods they now have on hand. Woman Beat, Bitten and Hair Torn Out by Salvation Army NEW YORK.—Salvation Army slop may play havoc with a worker's sto- mach, but Solvation Army clerks certainly made havoc with an un- employed woman who objected to their telling her to drop dead. Mrs. Ann Zenusk, of 308 East 3rd Street, was sent by the Salvation Army Wo- men’s Unemployment Bureau to work as housemaid for Mrs. Levinson, 117 Bay 26th Street, Brooklyn. After two days she was discharged as the nec- essary work was finished, The Salvation Army told Mrs. Ze- nusk that the job was permanent and she had her trunk shipped to the Brooklyn home which entailed some expense. Only under difficulty did she secure from the bureau money to meet her expenses and when she turned to leave the clerks told her to drop dead. When she remonstrated the clerks pounced upon her, bit her hand, scratched a two inch wound in her neck, broke a stick over her back, pulled two handfuls of hair from her head and mauled her severely with their fists, When Mrs. Zenusk appeared at the “Daily” office she carried the broken stick and looked as if she had been in én encounter with a lion from the appearance of her wounds. The Un- employed Council is going to take up this ease and see that the woman will Sia medical attention and be given The} for crop production loans—thus act- | WORKER CORRESPONDENCE | | LETTERS FROM FOOD WORKERS EXPOSE LONG HOURS, LOW PAY ‘Arbuckle Sugar Company ‘Cheats Ruptured Worker of Compensation and Job < | Prof, Otto H. Schmidt (left) the | | NEW YORK.—While organizing a block committee on Hudson Avenue, we came across an unemployed and Arbuckle Sugar Co., which is known ruptures because of the nature of the work. sick worker who has worked for the among workers for its accidents and He was ruptured about seven months ago and was laid up in the hospital for an operation. During the first ten weeks he received $10 & We@K Q——@ am inn, compensation from the Arbuckle’s own insurance fund. After that the doctor said that he was alright and he could go back to work. Immediately, the compensation was stopped, but this worker was unable to return to work as his condition was too weak. He reported to the State Labor Department whose doc- tor said he is able to do light work though he himself felt that he could not. However, through necessity he went back to Arbuckle and they re- fused to give light work claiming that they had none. Now, he is out of his compensation and a job and he feels quite sure that Arbuckle and the state department work hand in hand against the workers. Not only must the working class organize block committees to fight against high rents and for relief, but also for genuine compensation laws, unemployment insurance and tle ultimate overthrow of the capitalist system of oppression. ARBUCKLE WORKER WANTS ORGANIZATION BROOKLYN, N. ¥.—I am a work- er in the shipping department of the Arbuckle Sugar plant at the foot of Jay St. and the waterfront. I do not know just how the men in the rest of the mill are making out but this is how it is in my de- partment. About a year ago they cut us off an hour a day which was about 10 per cent wage cut. Then in Feb- ruary of this year they cut us 10 per cent cash. Now we make about $3.33 a day. We only make about one or two days every two weeks or so. We have to go down there daily to find out if we are going to work. Three days a week is the best that anybody is doing. The day is supposed to be nine hours but we actually work ten. We get straight hourly pay for overtime but there is never much of that. Sat- urday mornings the bosses who are on «lary basis speed us up terribly | in order to get through by noon. This makes us lose money as we do much more than the regular amount of work. Some years ago we tried to strike for better conditions. The company lined us all up and asked each man: if he wanted to work. Many for- eign born workers said yes. In this way the Irish-Americans and Negroes were separated and many fired. I think that the fault was with us, however. We did not organize be- forehand and did not have a com- mittee on which these other workers were represented. They really did not know what the whole thing was about. I think that the other Arbuckle readers who read this article which is being distributed to them by the workers’ paper, the Daily Worker, should write in to the editor and give their name and address if they are| ready to come to a méeting at which we can start to organize and smash these rotten conditions. We can or- ganize in every department and get ready. Then we can force the com- pany to give us what we want. Arbuckle Worker, ROOSEVELT HAS SUPER WAR PLAN Power and Steel in the South--One Unit (CONTINUED PROM PAGE ONE) | American ports. It also is more con- | venient for traffic through the Pa- nama Canal to the Pacific. One Big Industrial Unit This plan is directed toward the coordinating into one gigantic indus- trial unit, of all the industrial, hy- dro-electric power and water trans- ‘port that the government and pri- ‘vate capitalists have been experi- menting with for fifty years. Aside \from the strategic position for war | purposes there is also involved the | question of cheap labor at starva- \tion rations. It is anticipated that this development in the South will shift the steel center from Pittsburgh to Birmingham. In forming his cabinet Roosevelt 4s also drawing heavily from the Southern states, where the lynch and chain-gang ruling class maintain their rule through the democratic party by disfranchisement of the Ne- gro masses and the most frightful terror. The notorious lynch senator, Cordell Hull of Tennessee, is slated for the chief cabinet post—secretary of state, Hull got his start in poli- j tical life as a result of his crawling before the currupt political machine that was for years headed by the notorious Luke Lea, who is about to start a prison term for wholesale bank wrecking in which he and his son participated. Others mentioned are Senator Cohen from the chain-gang state of Georgia, where Roosevelt spends most of his time. Thus the agents of the Southern ruling class that carries out Wall Street policy against the Negro and white workers and farmers of this section of the country are to be leaders of Roosevelt's cabinet, who vealize that they will probably be a war cabinet, and are laying the plans for carrying out the policies of the war mongers by plots for concentra- tion of war industry upon the backs of semi-slaye labor. vie NEGRO WAITER DIES FROM LACK OF FOOD PITTSBURGH, Pa.—Henry Lewis, Negro worker, age around 50 years, came here from Huntington, W. Va., about six or eight weeks ago, after several wage cuts and finally laid off, by the hotel management, he sustained himself very inde- pendently until his little savings had Tun out. Then he applied to the registra- tion office of the Helping Hand, and there he was flatly denied even food assistance. Being weakened by lack of food, shoes being unfit to wear, barefooted, he took cold, was advised to go to a hospital. He went to Mercy Hospital, Monday night, died Wednesday morning. There can be no doubt that he died of lack of food and insufficient clothing —W. H. TURN TALK INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION! NEW YORK.—I am a worker at the Hotel Martinique on 32nd St. and Broadway, Working conditions in the restaurant of this high-class hotel are Just as bad as in any ordinary coffee- pot or cafeteria, In the good times the workers had a nine-hour day with a day off and pay for overtime. Now the working day runs from twelye to fourteen hours with no day off and no pay for overtime. At the same time the wages went down to the bottom; cooks were cut from one hundred and forty to seventy-five dollars a month and dishwashers from seventy to for- ty dollars a month, This is only the difference in money wages. If we figure the longer hours and the overtime without pay together with the loss of one day off, \we find that we get only one-fourth |of what they used to pay, | Besides all this and the speed-up, | the food of the workers often is not fit for dogs to eat. Scraps which are left to accumulate so as to get up enough to prepare are made into our meals. On the other hand, the boss and his overstuffed wife, two para- | Sites who never did five cents worth | of productive labor in their lives, are very particular with their food, The hotel's a la carte service is not good enough for them and: special meals have to be prepared, while the work- ers who provided everything for them have scraps to eat. The workers hear everything with a silent indignation and dissatisfac- tion. Only in the locker room they | break their silence with a few words of anger and then shut up quickly lest someone should hear them. As the days go by the dissatisfaction is constantly increasing and the time w:ll soon be ripe for it to burst into action.

This injured worker was not sent to the doctor on company time but told to go to the compensation doc- tor at 4 in the afternoon. He only received three treatments from M. D. Brown, the doctor, at 424 [th Avenue. He was dismissed on the theory that his eyes were perfect. In January his eyes began to water, hurt, and itech. He could not read three or Jour paragraphs of reading matter without getting a severe headache. He was discharged on Jan. 10, Since then this worker tried to get some satisfaction at the majn of+ fico but was tossed from ohe man~ ager to another. Finally he was sent to the Travellers Insurance Com- pany, They sent him to a doctor, Erwin Toroch, 133 E. 58th St., but his eyesight is no better than the day he got fired.
