The Communist Party 8th Convention opens in Cleveland April 2. The Socialist Party is scheduled to hold its convention in Detroit in May. Each of these parties, each of these conventions, propose a different way out of the crisis for the American -working. class. The Communist Party, section of the, Communist International, working and fighting under the inspiration and influence of the victorious. Russian Revolution, the Party founded on..the. principles of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, appeals to the workers for a revolu- tionary way out of the crisis. The Socialist Party Convention adheres to the program of the Otto Bauers, the Ramsay MacDonalds, the Otto Wels’, the Renaudels and Paul Boncours—the most” des- Picable agents of world capitalism,’ the social- fascists. In the United States the Socialist Party, through its leaders, Thomas, Oneal, Panken, sup- ported every anti-labor move of the Roosevelt gov- ernment. The Socialist Party convention will have before it the fact that Norman Thomas and the other Socialist leaders appealed tcythe workers to knuckle down to the N.R.A. as a roac}to “socialism.” When the.Communist Party was rallying the. united front of all workers to fight for the right. to-strike, for the right of organization against the company slave-union attacks of the N.R.A., Norman. Thomas was preaching to the workers: “Now is not the time to strike!” The Communist Party convention, with workers from all basic/industries, from the front. line trenches of the class struggle, will meet to mobilize its forces for the revolutionary way out of the crisis —for the road to Soviet Power. The Socialist Party convention will meet to con- tinue its tactics of maiming the workers’ struggles, by spouting revolutionary phrases to cover the most reactionary deeds. 'HESE two conventions represent two opposite poles in the international working class move- ment. One, the Communist, is the Party of the revolutionary. struggle for the overthrow of capital- ism and the establishment of Soviet power. The other, the Socialist, is the international of German social-democracy that paved the way for Hitler, and Austrian social-democracy, that tried to disarm the Austrian workers in the manner of Otto Bauer, so that the “lesser evil” Dollfuss could the easier drown the workers’ uprising in a sea of blood. The Socialist leaders are already mouthing phrases about the fight against fascism, as an ab- Stract cover for their actual support to fascist deve- lopments under the Roosevelt regime. Norman Thomas wholeheartedly supported the Wagner Bill, now clearly exposed as a measure to smash down ‘he workers’ right to strike and to organize, a meas- ure to -bolster and strengthen the company slave- unions. With the growing attacks of the American cap- italists.on the American workers as seen in the auto industry, with the tremendous advance towards war, with fascist measures piling up each day against the workers, the crying need of the working. class 4s unity in struggle for the protection of their ele- mentary rights. The greatest obstacle to this unity is the Social- ist Party leaders who will dominate their conven- tion. The Communist Party convention, mobilizing the best revolutionary forces in this country for a re- Jentless struggle against capitalism, will hammer owt the best means of uniting the forces of the en- tire working class for struggle against every attack of the bosses, against every fascist measure of the Roosevelt regime. There are two conventicns and two ways out-— one the revolutionary way out, the road of Soviet Power; the other, a cul de sac leading to the pre- servation of capitalism and the establishment of its open fascist dictatorship. For those who want to fight to emd capitalism, its hunger system, its fascism, its wars, there is only one convention an one way out—the Communist way. : Why the Mayor Broke the Taxi Strike Agreement boss press in New York has resorted to its lowest form of attack on the taxi strike—rumors. They spread rumors of splits, rumors of the end of a strike. This all fits nicely into the policies of the fleet owners, the General Motors Co., and of Mayor LaGuardia. They want to do everything to disintegrate, to dissolve the ranks of the striking taxi drivers. In order to slander the strike leaders, and . , Communists, who support the strike, the capitalist press is trying to make it appear that they do not want a settlement of the strike. What are.the facts? The strike leaders on March 26 signed» an agreement with LaGuardia for a ple- biscite to Tet thé men determine, while the strike was on, what union they ‘wished to belong to. But then things began to happen. The bosses did not want to give the men any such right. LaGuardia began to order his police to smash picket lines. He wanted- to weaken the strike so that there could be no basis for agreement. The strikers from the start have been ready, and are now ready, to settle the strike on the issue they came out on—against a company union and for cecognition of their own union. LaGuardia and the bosses opposed this. The capitalist press is raising the slander, to split the ranks of the strikers, that the Communists oppose “settlement.” E Comm soen the only foree rallying the strikers for a militant struggle to force ft j {4 \ gh negotiations that would win them the vic- tory. It is true the Communists are opposed to such “settlements” as the A. F. of L. leaders brought on the auto workers, forcing them into company unions. The Communists are opposed to settlements that victimize the workers. The Communists are for strike ag the best weapon to win higher wages, better conditions, union recognition for the workers; and {itiate such strikes to force the bosses to nego- tiate and settle on terms favorable to the workers. LaGuardia is interested in getting the strike over with, no matter what the lot of the workers. The Communists are interested in getting the strike settled to the best advantage of the workers. The only way the workers can force through such a settlement, to win the greatest advantage for all, and to keep the gain of organization, is to maintain their ranks solid, to fight every splitting force, to act as one solid body and not to be stampeded by the lies and provocations of the LaGuardia govern- ment helped by the capitalist press. LaGuardia--The Bankers’ Mayor |AYOR LA GUARDIA of New York refused to grant or approve of a single one of the demands of the unemployed workers at City Hall Thursday. At the same time he told the unemployed workers that he will carry through the agreement with the bankers. La Guardia exposed himself as the enemy of the unemployed workers, He stated that he would do nothing to help the unemployed. To one concrete demand after another—to the demand for jobs, for continuation of C. W. A., for cash relief, for union wages and conditions, for the Workers’ Un- employment Insurance Bill—La Guardia gave’ the unemployed a brazen refusal to do anything. La Guardia stands revealed as the bankers’ Mayor. To the unemployed he offered huge lay- offs and drastic wage-cuts, which he announced are to begin today. To the bankers he pledged that their interest money, their debts, will be paid by him. The bankers will get full interest.. La Guardia said he must pay the bankers because “I am powerless,” because “it is legislation.” The unemployed told La Guardia that the job- less of New York: City will force him to do what the Iowa farmers forced the bankers to do—declare a moratorium on foreclosures, even though fore- closures are “legislation.” The unemployed workers learned from La- Guardia Thursday that they can not look to him for any aid, that all: his speeches regarding his “sympathy” and his advocacy of “unemployment insurance” are mere.empty words. The unemployed heard from La Guardia’s own lips that. he will. do nothing for them, and is deaf to every single one of their demands. La Guardia refused to life a finger for the enact- ment of the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill. He refused even to send a tele- gram to Washington favoring this bill, the only measure now before Congress applying to the six- teen million workers now jobless. La Guardia revealed himself as the instrument of the Roosevelt government in carrying through the C. W. A. liquidation, the lay-offs and wage and relief cuts, He made a statement to the press im- mediately after turning down the unemployed in which he said, “the city and state are compelled to reduce the numbers on the payroll and to reduce the compensation.” La Guardia announced that 30,- 000 will be fired today. Of course in reality many thousands more than that are to be laid off, He said that five miilién dollars a month will be cut off the wages of those kept at work. He said. “it may be necessary to eliminate as many as 30,000 and these eliminations will be made in accordance with the instructions of the federal government.” * * . IN THUS brazenly announcing drastic lay-offs, and wage cuts for those remaining on work relief rolls, La Guardia shows that he is the main instrument in New York City in putting through the bankers’ program—the Roosevelt program of hunger for the unemployed and millions for the bankers. He is carrying through the Roosevelt relief cutting, lay-off program in New York City. ‘The unemployed and C.W.A. workers who were attempting to participate in the one hour protest strike were brutally clubbed by La Guardia’s police on Thursday. C.W.A. projects throughout the city were kept at work in many instances by the clubs of the police. La Guardia is responsible for this brutality of the police against the unenTployed. When the unemployed delegation demanded that these unprovoked clubbings cease, La Guardia de- clared, “I am too busy with other things.” Not only did La Guardia reply to the unemployed demands by announcing drastic firing, but he made a statement to the press urging the workers to “co- operate” with him in putting over this starvation program. “No group has a right to insist on its own de- mands,” he said. “With the co-operation of the public we can make the best of a bad situation.” Of course, the bankers have a right to “insist” and La Guardia carries out the instructions of this “group.” La Guardia, who himself.is well-fed, in. putting through the bankers’ program, calls on one million unemployed to co-operate with him by accepting slow starvation. It is unreasonable, according to La Guardia, for the unemployed to demand enough food to keep them from starving to death. The bankers can make their demands and get what they want from the bankers’ Mayor. The Roosevelt program of mass lay-offs of C.W.A. workers, and wage-cuts for those put on “work relief” is being put through. C. W. A. workers! Organize on the job. Form job committees. Demand union pay and cBnditions on all “work relief” jobs. Demand compensation for injury, sickness and death, Demand recognition of the C. W. A. workers’ organizations. Discharged C. W. A. workers! All unemployed! Demand C. W. A. jobs or cash relief at union wage rate! Demand the immediate enactment of the Work- ers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill (H. R. 7598) !

Having given the various fascist organizations of France, which are | backed by leading industrialists, ample time to carry out their pro- gram of arming, the Doumergue | government yesterday issued a de- cree requiring that all sales of arms be reported to the government. ‘The whole capitalist press is mask- ing the active arming and drilling of the fascist bands by carrying out a provocative campaign of slander against the Communist Party and the workers’ organizations, attempt- ing to whip up an anti-working class | fury among the ruined middle | classes and the adventurous sons of capitalists. France, England In ArmamentRace Maneuvers Hastened as Day of New World War Approaches PARIS, March 30.—With war for| the redivision of the world among} the imperialist powers coming closer | every day, as the only capitalist | hope of overcoming the world crisis, | the European imperialists have been feverishly negotiating among them- selves on the question of the dis- tribution of armaments and of mili-| tary alliances among themselves. | The negotiations, in which F-ance | and Great Britain are taking the lead at the moment, center chiefi around the rearming of Germany Great Britain, as the chief organizer jof the anti-Soviet front, is seeking French approval of land armaments | for Germany. France has coun- tered with demands for. diplomatic and military guarantees that the armament of each country will be | carried out in accordance with a | @eneral agreement among the im- perialists. Despite the sharp ‘antagonisms/| between France and Germany, the Doumergue government has now! agreed te @ conditional increase in German military power, provided guarantees are made that it will not be used against France. This development of the French | attitude coincides with the renewal of an energetic anti-Soviet cam- paign in the French press, following a certain slackening in the anti- Soviet drive last year after Hitler came to power. At the present time the French and British governments are carry- ing on day to day maneuvers in which each seeks to put the respon- sibility for increased armaments on the other, and at the same time to extract concessions from the other in favor of its own military plans. Dutch Mutineers Must Serve Long Sentences THE HAGUE, March 30—Appeals of 27 Javanese seamen who took part in the mutiny on the Dutch warship De Zeven Provincien were | Tejected by the High Military Court at Batavia, Java. The sentences range from 15 months to five years. Appeals of 23 European seamen will go before the appellate court on April 16. The seamen seized the warship, in protest against wage cuts, and only surrendered after a navy bomber had bombed the ship, killing many of the crew. Insull Held at Istanbul by Turkish Government WASHINGTON, March 30.—Sam- uel Insull, who escaped this country with millions of dollars taken from people who had stock in Illinois utilities, still remains at large, de- Spite the Turkish government’s promise to hold Insull until extra- dition papers are filed.

Workers Vote | CH 31, 1934 —By Burek USSR Hails Kalinin, 15 Years Play for Position Head of All- Union Central Body By VERN SMITH (Daily Worker Moscow Correspondent) MOSCOW, March 30 (By Radio). —The entire Soviet press today greets Mikhail Kalinin on the 15th anniversary of his chairmanship of the All-Union Central Executive Committee. The newspapers are filled with innumerable greetings from the Soviet organs and from the workers of factories and collec- tive farms. A greeting signed by Stalin, Ka- ganovich, Voroshilov, Molotov, and others says: “In connection with your 15 years’ activities in the post of chairman of the All-Union Cen- tral Executive Committee, we send you our warm friendly greetings, wishes for further fruitful work for long years strengthening the Soviet state and the successul construc- tion of socialism.” Old Bolsheviks Hail Comrade The old workers of the Red Puti- lov works in Leningrad, with whom Kalinin spend years of labor and revolutionary work in the time of Tsarism, also sent messages of greetings, as did the presidiums of the Central Executive Committee and the All-Russian Central Execu- tive Committee, the Soviet of People’s Commissars of of the Russian Socialist Federated Sovict Republic, the Communist Party committees of Moscow, Leningrad, and many other districts. Among the reminiscences of old workers, militant companions and comrades in revolutionary struggles, Kalinin’s exceptional devotion to the cause of the revolution with which he entered the Party of the Bolsheviks, and which has always been characteristic of him, is espe- cially stressed. One of Oldest Bolsheviks As one of the oldest Bolsheviks, he went through all the chief phases of the development of the Party; he worked in the early il- legal revolutionary circles, was an exiled convict, was imprisoned, worked as a propagandist and or- ganizer. Elected on the recommendation of Lenin to the post of chairman of the All-Union Central Executive Committee, Kalinin, in fifteen years at this post has carried out a tre- mendous work or rallying the rev- olutionary forces under the banner of the Soviets, of consolidating the Party with the masses, of conso- lidating the union of the masses of the working class with the masses of the peasantry. Jingoes Plan to Glorify Arms on War Anniversary April 6 Anti-War Rally to Be Workers’ Reply to War Program NEW YORK.—While jingo organ- izations, aided by the federal and state governments, are preparing to make April 6, anniversary of Amer- ica’s entry into the World War, a celebration of militarism, plans are going forward to make that day's anti-war rally a gigantic mass dem- onstration of militant opposition to war.

Y., March 30,—A legislative investigation was threat- ened today of all expenditures of New York State utility interests, and particularly of Senator Warren T. ‘Thayer, Republican whip of the State Senate, who may find himself the target of impeachment proceed- ings on Monday. Thayer was formerly the chair- man of the Senate Utilities Com- mittee, and recent revelations have disclosed the fact that he used this office for the purpose of blocking and killing all legislation which might have tended to lower the cost of electricity, gas, etc. Proof of this was found when the Federal Trade Commission unearthed let- ters written by Thayer to big New York utilities corporations. With these letters, Thayer had turned in expense accounts definite- ly proving that he had been on the payrolls of these corporations at the same time that he was ostensibly acting as an “impartial” chairman of the Senate Utilities Committee.

D., has already secured 15 new subs for the Daily Worker in the present circulation drive. “During the last thirty years, I have followed the revolutionary movement with interest,” he writes. “At this time more than ever before the task of spreading @ paper like the Daily Worker must be carried on. “Money is Scarce around here. But I dont’ give up when a farmer or a worker says to me, ‘I don’t think I can afford it.’ I explain that the Daily Worker is truly for the interests of the toil- ing class, and besides exposing the boss-owned newspapers, carries the news of the struggles of the work- ers everywhere. “Most of the 15 subs I have got- ten are from people that have never read the Daily Worker before. “Every class conscious worker and farmer must realize what an im- portant weapon the Daily Worker. is and help spread it far and wide.” ANTI-FASCISTS HELD IN ITALY ROME, March 30.—Fifteen men, alleged to be bringing anti-fascist literature into Italy for use before the national “elections” of last Sun- day, were arrested March 11 at Pon- terese, near Como, it was learned John Ahonen Strong Protest In Nazi Court Correspondent Tells of Struggles Against Nazi Regime (Special to the Daily Worker) BERLIN (By Mail).—Workers staged a demonstration which ter- rified the whole courthouse in Bres- lau, on March 18, when a worker named Hahn, 29 yvars old, was sen- tenced to death, and another, Hayda, to 10 years’ penal servitude, in connection with the death of a Steel Helmet member in May, 1930. By the end of 1930, 12 Breslau workers had already been given Severe penalties in connection with the clash in which this Steel Hel- met man died. The newspapers are widely pub- licising a Nazi scheme called “Strength through joy,” through which workers are supposed to get free holidays by the sea and at resorts. The workers of the Eilenberg Cellulose plant, Berlin, quickly found out what it means when two Nazis of the plant were given ‘ holidays.” It turned out that every other worker was to be assessed 10 phen- nigs to pay for the ‘ holidays.” They called a meeting, at which they agreed first that at that rate each of them would get a “holiday” only in about a hundred years, and that in any case only the lick- spittles among the workers would be “favored.” They unanimously voted to refuse to allow the assess- ment to be taken from their wages, The organization of working class bicycle couriers, carrying illegal newspapers and leaflets has become so effective in Hamburg that the police have suddenly received orders to halt all cyclists “to see if they are obeying traffic regulations.” Mor than 14,000 cyclists were stoppe during six days, and 1,679 of the: were penalized for minor traff. infractions, paying a total of 3,358 marks. How Employment Is “Increased” What the Nazis’ “labor battle” to “increase employment” means is shown by a dispatch from the il- legal Communist Party organization in the Harz district. At the Remels- berg iron mines, 36 new workers were given jobs, and at the Duke Julius iron works, 70 were employed. ‘This was accomplished, however, by forcing tha workers already em- ployed to “voluntarily” cut down their weekly hours and wages enough to enable the employers to hire these new men without increas~ ing the payroll. / Soviet Plane Hops From Nome to Aid Stranded Company NOME, Alaska, Mar. 30.—A nine- passenger Soviet. plane hopped off from here yesterday to attempt the rescue of some of the 69 members of the Soviet arctic expedition whose ship, the Chelyuskin, sank in the Bering Sea on Feb. 15. Professor George Yushakoff fs in command of the plane, and he is accompanied by F. A. Levanevsky, pilot, and Clyde Armistead, Amer- ican mechanic and pilot.
