Shall Relief Be Cut While the City Pays the Bankers? Today in the boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and in Harlem demonstrations will take place before the Home Relief Bureaus. This will be gatherings of werkers to fight against relief cuts and evictions, What does a relief cut mean? It means taking away food from our tables—milk from our children. What does the stoppiag of rent payments mean? It means destroy- ing our homes—breaking up our families. Not only families but even those single men who lived in the “Hoover- villes” along the river had their shacks destroyed by Tammany police yesterday. In political dives Tammany’s judges and police met to discuss how to stifle the resistance to its starvation program, As a result sixteen mil- itant workers were found guilty in the Bronx magistrate court yester- day—guilty of organizing the workers to fight against starvation. Six- teen seamen who demanded a place to live now face deportation. Many of them to fascist countries. Why these cuts? Has the city no money? This is a lie. On Monday the city paid back to the bankers $16,000,000. ‘The next day they borrowed $12,000,000 from the money that was returned. On this loan the bankers got besides five per cent interest an additional three-quarters of one per cent. This “little” addition gives them $90,000 more. The mayor draws e salary of $40,000. Mili‘ons of dollars are spent on politicians for “salaries,” while city employe’ wages are cut. We demand that all salaries of these officiels shall be cut. We de- mand that not a penny should be paid in intertsts to the bankers. All funds for the relief of the unemployed. Fellow workers! Tammany’s decision dooms us to starvation. Get your neighbors, every one on the block— demonstrate at the Home Relief Bureaus this morning. Stop the relief cuts and evictions! Demand the release of all arrested workers and a stop to the reign of terror by Tammany! To the Aid of the Striking Farmers! Twice in the last month, National Guardsmen armed with bayonets, machine guns and tear gas bombs have been called out against siriking farmers in the west, in Iowa and Wisconsin. In Iowa, martial law was declared. State militia with drawn bayoneis have charged groups of farmers who were protesting against starvation. Yesterday a young farmer was shot in the back by a National Guardsman. In Shawano, Wisconsin, 1,500 National Guardsmen are quartered with tuil fighting equipment. Machine guns have been mounted in the streets of this farm town. What is it thet tne farmers demand which has caused the state governments to send their armed forees against the farmers? In Wisconsin, the striking farmers demand simply that the Milk Trust give up some of its enormous monopoly profit in order to permit the farmer to be able to purchase with the proceeds from the sale ot his milk everyday necessities. The Wisconsin farmers demand simply that they be paid for their labor and for their expenses in preparing milk for the cities. At present, the Milk Trust not only bleeds the workers in the cities by exhorbitant prices for milk, but grinds down the farmers from whom it buys the milk. The struggle of the Wisconsin farmers against the Milk Trust is a struggle to keep themselves and their families alive. The Wisconsin farmers know who their enemy is. “Our strike is ‘not against the city consumers, but against the big dairies,” they have said. In the strike ‘of the Iowa farmers, what have been the issues? In Towa, the farmers fought against foreclosures by mortgage investors. The farmers of Iowa, who have been paying interest on mortgages for years, who bought their farms at exhorbitant prices which prevailed before the crisis, have refused to surrender their homes and their farms to the bankers, who have been getting fat upon their labor, ‘Thus, the fight of the farmers is agelast WallStreet finance capital; against the bankers who own their mortgages and control the milk Dail (Section of the Eniered as second-class matter at the Post Office at Gh New York. my Communist International ) orker | Central OrganSvf ~the-Commnynist Party U.S.A.

Develop Anti-War Struggles Our struggle against imperialist war has of late slackened. This in apite of the growing war tenseness which permeates the whole interna- tional situation at the present time. It is necessary wtih the greatest vigor to develop anti-war activities. It is necessary to popularize the Resolution of the 12th Plenum Against War, Below, we print a section of the 12th | Plenum Anti-War Resolution, outlining the immediate steps for struggle against imperialist war. * 4 * The general tasks of all Communist Parties in the struggle against imperialist war and military intervention and in the struggle against fas- cism, social democracy and bourgeois pacifism which facilitate the various methods of preparing and carrying on imperialist war and military inter- vention against the U.S.S.R., are as follows: a) “To develop a systematic ideological struggle against chauvinism and nationalism, to-carry on propaganda for real proletarian interna- tlonalism, to expose to the masses all the machinations of the foreign policy of their own bourgeoisie, to expose all the measures of the home policy of the bourgeoisie in preparation for war, to expose the production and transport of munitions for imperialist countries, to remind the masses of all the calamities of the first imperialist war, to fight tirelessly against the militarization of the schools. b) To react actively to all, manifestations of the anti-Soviet cam- _paigns, to seriously improve the, propaganda of #he success of Socialist construction in the U.S.S.R., among the broadest masses, to mobilize the _toilers against the whiteguards, to popularize the peace policy of the U.S. | S. R., to mobilize the masses for the active defense of the U.S.S.R., China and the Chinese-Soviet. revolution. ©) To expose on the basis of actual and well-known facts all the sophisms and maneuvers of the bourgeois pacifisis and especially the socigl-demoeratic partios. ad) To expose widely to the masses the peculiar, secret birth and conduct of a new imperialist war (mobilization in paris, formation of a covering army, preparations to cleanse the rear from revolutionary ele- -ments) and in deciding the anti-war tactics of the Communist Party, to take into account the variety of the new methods employed by the bour- geoisie in preparing and carrying om war, _ @) By employing the tactic of the united front, to set up legal, semi- legal and illegal control committees and committees of action in the munition factories, in ports, in factories, on railroads, and on ships, for the purpose of developing mass activity and carefully prepared protest strikes and economic strikes to prevent the transport of munitions and troops, and to rouse the initiative of the broad masses of workers in this matter. f) To develop extensive mass wo:k among the unemployed, among the youth, among working women and among emigrant workers, against imperialist war and military intervention. To draw the peasant masses into the struggle against imperialist war. To support the national libera- tion movement of the colonial and subjected nations. g) To carry on extensive anti-imperialist work among the soldiers, among conccripts, reservists and in the special military organizations of the bourgeoisie. To strengthen the Party organizations and all the revo- lutionary youth organizations, bearing in mind that the whole Party, the whole of the Y.C.L, must participate in this work. To organize the struggle of the soldiers for their every day demands and to support this struggle by the solidarity of the workers and the toiling peasants. To popularize revolutionary traditions and examples of the otruggle against war. ‘pl the C. P.’s must carry on an irreconcilable Bolshevik struggle in their own ranks against. an opportunist underestimation of the war danger, against opportunist passivity in the struggle against imperialist war and military intervention and against a pseudo-ledt fatalistic attitude ‘ war, ‘ | beginning of this: year, comes imme- | | diately after the statement of Roose-| velt calling upon the employers to in- crease wages.

A mass anti-fascist protest meet- ing is being held in Chicago tonight, this meeting should plan to give Wie- }demann the same reception, if he comes to Chicago, as the London workers gave Rosénberg. Tag Days Start for Victims of Nazis NEW YORK.—The National Com- mittee to Aid Victims of German Fascism, established by the Workers International Relief and 35 organiza- tions have declared tags days and house to house collections today, Sat- urday and Sunday, In its calls it asks “all workers and workers’ organizations and sympath- izers with the victims of German fascism to turn out in large numbers” these three days “to give the many thousands who desire to strike a blow |at Hitler’s terror by aiding victims and refugoes, the opportunity to con- tribute.” Dae Stations Listed on hide the Roosevelt program can be derived from the following passage in the Wagner Bill: “The President shail prepare a comprehensive. program of public works which shall include among other things ..... the construction of naval vessels’ within the terms of the London Naval Treaty of 1930...” This clause in the Roosevelt public works program will permit the e: penditure of $100,000,000 of public works funds, for naval construction.

The Convention of the Federation of the Unemployed Workers’ Leagues of America met in Chicago May 13th, 14th and 15th.

(Brom the Daily Worker's Special Correspondent.) | MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 18.--So- cialist Mayor Hoan has thrown his Milwaukee police vigorously into the | | struggle against the milk strikers and | their supporters, the city workers. Getting on to a hundred strikers have been arrested, including many | members of the Communist Party. The city and state authorities are launching a special attack against the Communists, holding them re- sponsible for delaying the settlement of the strike. The authorities also say that the farmers bear no re- | sponsibility for the strike on their own initiative—that the farmers are not behind the strike—that the farm- ers have nothing to grumble about, but that the Communist trouble makers are fomenting all the dis- turbances out of thin air. ‘The Communist Party is of course standing in its place—that is, in the fighting ranks of the farmers and | workers. But the bankers and big | dairymen are just whistling to keep their courage up if they deny the reality and mass scale of the strike and the determination of the farm~ ers. | Farmers Counter-Attack | A major offensive of 10,000 farm- lers is being prepared for counter- attack against the guardsmen moved into Shawano County.

It is a difficult task at this season of the year be- cause of the large amount of milk produced.” Therefore he urged the farmers to “control their surplus” and not to “vie with one another in pro- ducing greater amounts of milk.” Any tendency to increase the production of milk during the coming month | would defeat the efforts of the Board {© obtain higher prices for producers, | it was sai | While Children Starve Thus, {n the face of the most crying need of the people, and especially of the undernourished children of New York, the Milk Control Board de- |mands the cutting down of produc- tion in order to ensure a higher price for milk, and make it even less pos- | sible for the workers to buy this nec- | essary of life. At the same time, } the Board is | moving gainst those dealers who re- fuse to comply with the minimum |price orders and: who are cutting |prices on retail milk. Compiaints | against at least 50 New York City |dealers have already been filed. The entire milk control scheme will benefit the farmers as little as it does the working class consumer: There will be less milk for the latter to buy, and the rise in price will stop him from buying as much as before, and on top of this, the farmer will be made to restrict his production, and con~ sequently his sales, and for this rea. son his returns will be less also, though he may get a few cents more per hundred pounds of milk, News F lash NEWS FLASH .
