Roosevelt turned these huge funds over to the R.F.C. bankers only 24 hours after his relief administrator had impudently pro- elaimed to the million workers on the C.W. ‘A. jobs that “the show is now over.” Dismissed like so many animals—told to disappear and starve. That’s how Roose- yelt proposes to deal with the millions of jobless who face the capitalist crisis de- prived by the capitalist class of the basic necessities for the right to live. No czarist tyranny ever matched this cold-blooded brutality. sound of their hungry children in their ears, will not take Roosevelt’s slap in the face lying down. They will fight! The National Convention Against Unemployment must become the center for an immense, nation- wide mobilization of the whole working class against the steely brutality of Roosevelt’s attack on the C.W.A. jobless. The capitalist class is responsible for the crisis! Make them pay for it.

A. Official Strikebreaking [CIALS of the United Mine Workers of America were so confident that the backbone of the (anthracite) strike would be broken next week, that they arranged to leave here (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.), for the international convention in Indianapolis Tuesday or Wednesday.” That is the comment of the New York Times of Sunday, on the issuance of a vicious injunction against striking anthracite coal miners on the request of the Jargest anthracite coal company, the Glen Alden. Feeling satisfied with the success of their strike- breaking activities, the U.M.W.A. leaders prepare to leave for the U.M.W.A. convention, where they can continue to betray the hundreds of thousands of miners who belong to the U.M.W.A. U.M.W.A. rank and file from forming a united front with the workers on strike in the United Anthracite Miners, misled by the betrayers, Cappelini and Maloney. | Both of these leading forces have been working | | these increasing cases of service in ranks of the class against the miners, each in their own particular way. ‘The Cappelini-Maloney gang, forced to call the strike, did everything to limit it to their needs of fighting | for leadership over the miners. The U.M.W.A. strike- | breakers did all they could to keep the membership in their union from joining the strike and making it @ real fight for wages, conditions and a unified union. ‘They greeted the vicious strikebreaking injunction with joy. This is true to the spirit and deeds of the NRA. and the whole policy of Lewis during the Pennsylvania coal strike. E gentlemen, with records of strikebreaking in i anthracite and bituminous, now come to the U. M. | | ‘W. A. international convention at Indianapolis to con- tinue their maneuvers against the miners. Injunctions, murders, betrayals are all part of the | day’s work for the Lewis officialdom in order to split the ranks of the workers, to keep them from uniting their ranks for a real fight to win better conditions, higher wages and union recognition. | These facts should be brought out at the conven- tion, and the strikebreakers nailed in the eyes of the whole working class. The U.M.W.A. rank and file delegates at the con- yention should raise the question of the united front ‘of all miners. They should use the anthracite situa- tion, where the leaders of the U.M.W.A., as well as the leaders of the union that split away in the struggle against the Lewis machine, for the demand of unity of all miners, regardless of union in a strike for better conditions. | Demand support for the anthracite strike at the .M.W.A. convention.

From the very beginning of the anthracite strike, | the Lewis-Boylan machine, has attempted to keep the | which meets in a few days. All the decisions of the Central Committee were adopted unanimously. Another Socialist Leader NOTHER prominent “Socialist” leader has left his native haunts for the rich profitable fields of open capitalist service in the governmental machinery. This time it is Carl Borders, prominent Chicago | Socialist, and notorious for his sabotage of the United The misery-ridden jobless, with the | Front proposals of the Chicago Unemployed Councils. He has accepted the very flattering offer of the Roose- velt government to become part of the Roosevelt capitalist relief machinery, whose function it is to provide as little relief to the jobless masses as pos- sible. Borders, leading member of the Chicago Soci- alist Party, is now part of the oppressive capitalist State machinery. The open treachery of Borders is not isolated. He merely is following the footsteps of his New York colleague, Paul Blanshard, whose confidential estimate of the Socialist Party was printed in last Saturday’s | Daily Worker, and who pow occupies a soft niche in government of LaGuardia. | He is following the footsteps of Upton Sinciair, Cali- fornia Socialist, who has become a leading member of the California Democratic Party. ‘These cases of open service to the capitalist class om the part of top leaders of the Socialist Party are | | growing in frequency. They do not merely represent personal treachery. They are the unmistakable symptoms of political decay, of the bureacracy of the Socialist Party. ‘These acts of individual treachery are not some- thing that contradicts the activities of these gentle- men while they were in the Socialist Party. This open service to American capitalism is only the final, logical step which inevitably grows out of the whole Social-Democratio policy of betrayal of the struggle for the destruction of the capitalist dictatorship and the establishment of the Proletarian Dictatorship. It grows out of the whole Social-Democratic policy of sup- porting the capitalist dictatorship in the name of bourgeois “democracy.” It grows out of the official Socialist Party support of the Roosevelt N. R. A., of Norman Thomas’ support of infla- tionary currency, out of Thomas’ support of the Roosevelt New Deal as a “step toward the peace- fnl transition to Socialism.” The leaders of the Soctalist Party will rebuke these gentlemen for what they call their “desertion.” what every worker should see is that these acts of open service to capitalism are implicit, are the natural outcome of the entire policy of the Socialist Parties These gentlemen now serve capitalism openly. The official Socialist Party leaders will con- tinue to serve it under the cloak of Socialist phrase- ology. To the rank and file Socialist workers, to those fellow workers who work with us in the factories, who feel with us the lash of capitalist exploitation, enemy should arouse to the most serious questton- ing of the role of the Socialist Party. The workers of the Communist Party are eager to meet their Socialist fellow workers in thorough, frank, sympathetic discussions of the Communist Party call to them to break their ties with a Party whose bankruptcy and class treachery is, as the Communist International has just declared in its 13th plenum resolution, “historically inevitable.” The infamous treachery of the Social-Democratic leaders in Germany when they supported Hindenhberg, in Austria where they support the Fascist Dollfuss, in Spain, where they they help to crush the reyolu- tion, in England, where they have produced Mac- Donalds and Hendersons, is now being repeated in this country. The road of the Socialist leaders is the road to ever more servile defense of capitalism, to more and more open service to the bourgeoisie. It is the road of the bankrupt Second International, which has now become openly nothing but a weapon for the im- perlalist war plans of the Socialist Ministers of the various powers, The road of the Socialist workers is toward ever growing struggle for the overthrow of capitalism, against the capitalist offensive, the road toward closer solidarity, and finally toward joining with the only revolutionary party of the working class—the Com- munist Party.

P. Head, Dies; Leader in Fight on Machado HAVANA, Cuba—Ruben Martinez Villena, a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, died here last Tuesday of tuberculosis. At the age of 34, he had played a leading role in organizing the op- pressed masses to carry out the agrarian, semi-imperialist revolution, Even the reactionary New York Times RUBEN MARTINEZ ViLLENA was forced to admit that he “was| largely responsible for the overthrow of Machado.” He was the leader of the general political strike of March, 1929, against Machado, who at that time ordered is assassination. He was already seriously ill of the disease from which he died. He went to the Soviet Union and spent two years in a sanatorium jin Crimea, returning last summer to take a leading part in the struggles which overthrew Machado, At the height of the revolutionary actions of that period, the illness from which he died became aggra- vated and he was forced again into inaction until his death. Beginning as a petit-bourgeois rebel against President Zayas, in 1923, Villena became disillusioned with rz- formism and joined the staff of the Jose Marti workers university found- ed by Julio Antonio Mella. Later he became attorney for the revolution- By VERN SMITH Daily Worker Moscow Correspondent MOSCOW, Jan. 22.—“Ten years ago today, the heart of a great man ceased to beat.

CENTRAL COMMITTEE CPUSA, WM. Z. FOSTER, CHAIRMAN EARL BROWDER, SECRETARY — statement that Stalin had led the Party in the solution of these Lenin- ist tasks during the past ten years. The principal speaker, Stetsky of the Central Committte of the Rus- sian Communist Party, declared that Leninism was a fighting slogan in all fields of politics, industry, science and agriculture, and Len- in a many-sided genius in each. He told the story of Lenin’s life for two hours, proving these points while the audience sat enrap- tured. He particularly stressed Len- in’s insistence on the unity of theory and practice. He gave examples cf how Lenin, even while in hiding dur- ing the Kerensky persecution, care- fully preserved the Marxian writings and theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat, while actively planning all stages of the revolution to estab- lish the proletarian dictatorship. Lenin great constructor, leading the detailed work of building Socialism successful October Revolution, but at the same time directing the strategy of the Civil War better than the old- est generals. He brought in the | Brest-Litovsk Treaty to show Lenin’s courageous simplicity if a job had to be done, Lenin, he pointed out, was not afraid of words such as “shame~ ful peace,” or of jibes of opponents. Meanwhile Lenin found time to re- ceive delegations of workers and peasants, attend to their requests. Even during the sabotage by bank clerks, Lenin saw that payment was made to a peasant for a horse con- that they shall have the fruits of the Revolution. “Not a drop of milk to the rich until workers’ children are Satisfied.” -He illustrated Lenin’s keenness in Picking up and aiding the self-help activities of the masses and how he ‘instantly saw the significance of the first Subotnik, advertised it and par- ticipated in it, and the Subotnik be- came the forerunner of the present Socialist competition. Stetsky then reviewed in detail the progress of ‘the Soviet Union during the last ten years, successfully carry- ing out, under Stalin’s leadership, the tasks outlined by Lenin. He paid high |tribute to Stalin as the leader who smashed Trotzkyism and right op~ portunists, welding the Party. “To Stalin we are obligated that our en- emies were not able to tear the ban- ner of victory from Lenin’s Party,” _ The audience frequently interrupted this part of his address with bursts jof applause. ‘Closes On nie Note of Socialist ictory _Stetsky closed his speech on the high note of Socialist victory gained in the decisive fight against the last remnants of capitalism, which Lenin foretold and had warned must be undertaken at the right moment. Stetsky also lauded the Red Army as an army of educated workers and collective farmers, not like the Tsar= ist army of peasants. |...
