i | i Need Unity of Jobless In Milwaukee to Win Cash Relief Demands Must Accomplish Unity | Despite Tactics of Socialist Leaders By L. BARNES MILWAUKEE.—On April 17 about | 6,000 workers came to the Court House, less than half of them matched down Wisconsin Ave. and met others at the City Hall, under the leadership of the Socialist con- trolled Workers Committee on Un- employment. Shortly after the C. 'W. A. came to an end, the Workers Committee had called a demonstra~ tion. Rank and file members sug- gested that the Unemployment Council also participate. But when the Unemployment Council issued a leaflet calling on workers to join the demonstration, the leaders of the Socialist Party called it off. This time, without consulting the County Committee of the Workers Committee On Unemployment. the Socialist Party decided on the dem- onstration. and went ahead with plans. The fact that 6,000 workers participated is an indication of their readiness to struggle, of their indignation over the ending of the C. W. A., and their inspiration from the splendid example of the Min- neapolis workers. Raise No Local Demands One of; the Socialist leaders gave as a reason for calling the demon- stration that if they didn’t the “reds” would. The demands raised, and the statement of the resolution presented to the County and City, that the local governments were broke, shows that the Socialist lead- rs wanted to mobilize the workers merely to demand the enactment of the La Follette bill for ten billion jollars for relief work, and a special session of the legislature in Madison ‘o send money to Milwaukee. The speakers at the demonstra-! ‘ion were Karl Minkley, Al. Benson. ind Mayor Hoan. At the Court House Benson and Minkley said 1othing about some of the demands shat were raised on signs, such as Dash Relief or Unemployment In- surance. They talked about the necessity of voting for Al Benson ‘nd other Socialists. Mr. Benson ‘old in glowing terms what they vould do when they arrived at the Sity Hall. And at the City Hall Mayor Hoan told the workers what shey ought to demand from the Tounty government, and what they would do in Madison and Washing- con. The committre to present demands | was not elected. The demands were not voted.on by the workers. What were the demands? A special session | of the legislature in Madison, and ten billion dollars from Congress for a works program. Not one concrete immediate demand. Not one thing that could be acted on here where the workers were as- sembled. Hoan Slanders Minneapolis Workers | Mr. Hoan in his speech, slan- dered the workers of Minneapolis by stating that violent demonstrations were all wrong. He praised the workers here for their peacefulness. But in Minneapolis the police at- tacked the demonstration because the bosses knew that the workers, under the militant leadership of the Communist Party would demand something.

The Modern Bakery was first to settle Bread Strike and first to sign with the Food Workers’ Industrial Union appropriation | one in Minneapolis was not violence. | Communist led demonstrations are | not always attacked by the police. | But in Minneapolis the workers were militant, and they demanded concrete and immediate concessions from the city. The city was forced to grant these demands, even though |they afterward treacherously went | back on their word. The workers of | Minneapolis, under the same leader- ship will force the bosses and their tools to swallow this treachery. In Milwaukee with some 6,000 workers, nothing was gained. because nothing was demanded. If 6,000 workers had determined to stay at the Court House until they had cash relief, we | would be getting cash relief in Mil- | waukee today! That is what the workers of Mil- waukee were demonstrating for, cash relief and jobs, and for Unemploy- ment Insurance. The Hoans and Bensons gave us the run around, shouted hoarsely at people thousands of miles away, and did nothing about cash relief, did not even mention that the Common Council the day before had endorsed the Workers | Bill (H. R. 7598). They don't want cash relief, because they represent the bosses in Milwaukee, and their | interests say “commissary relief.” Unity for all Demands The workers of Milwaukee, and especially those in the Workers Committee and Socialist Party, will| have to repudiate this socialist mis- | leadership, set up rank and file con- trol and democratic procedure in their organization, and join in united action with the Unemploy- ment Council and other organiza- tions, for cash relief. The tasks of the Unemployment Council are to get into action immediately against the relief cuts, against the turning off of electric and gas in the Negro district, to put up a battle over the soup kitchens they are trying to establish for the single men, and to struggle for equal rights for Negro | | foreign born workers. By carrying issues, which exist as much in “So- cialist” Milwaukee as in any other city, we must arouse the workers to the issue of immediate cash relief in Milwaukee County, and at the same time carry forward our part of the national campaign for Unem- ployment and Social Insurance. If these tasks are carried out in Milwaukee, with a persistent effort, toward unity among the rank and | the Socialist Party, the Unemploy- | ment Council will grow and the do- nothing leadership of the Socialist | Party will be isolated from the ;|ing plots, ete. workers, single men and women and | on naborhood struggles around these | DAILY WORKER NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1934 NEW YORK quaked on May Day, before the mobilized might of the working class demonstrating throughout the entire world against Hunger, Fas- cism and War, their police watch- dogs and prostitute press engaged in the most open and vicious provo- cations against the working class.

The Fascist Hitler, has been placed into power by the Prussian militarist, Von Hindenberg. Hin- denberg had been kept in power by the voters of the German Socialist Party. The German Socialist work- ers voted for Hindenberg because their leaders had told them “a vote for Hindenberg is a vote against Hitler.” In the Reichsiag the Socialist deputies are standing. They are singing. Their hands are raised in salute, They are singing the brutal battle-song of the Fascists, the obscene Horst Wessel song. They are pledging to Hitler who stands before them on the rostrum of the Reichstag that they will be “good Germans” in support of the Fas- cist Third Reich. They promise Hitler, these Socialist representa- tives in the Reichstag elected by the German Socialist workers in ‘the factories, that they will take their loyal place in the Fascist prison of “national unity.” It is May 1, 1933, Hitler calls for the workers of Germany to march before him in a Fascist “day of labor.” Hitler tries to rape the great holiday of the international working class, the great day of in- ternational pledges of struggle against capitalism for the libera- tion of humanity from the yoke of wage slavery. The Socialist trade union leaders of Germany answer this call of Hitler. They urge their workers to march before Hitier. Leipart and Wels, leaders of the German Socialist Party, call upon the Ger- man Socialist workers to defile themselves by answering Hitler's call for a Fascist “day of labor.” only brought benefits to a handful of the population, to the big manu- facturers, to the big Prussian land- and to a swarm of Nazi carecrists and militarisis. solve the economic crisis. made it worse. bullets of Zorgebiel on May Day, 1929, to the bootlicking, the obscene singing of the Nazi Horst Wessel song on May Da, 1933. That is how the Soeialist Party leaders of Germany served the capitalist class of Germany. ie Ub as oe '‘ASCISM in Germany has ruled for one year. Its rule has been stained with the blood of thousands of the best sons of the German workingclass. It has torn into the ranks of the German revolutionary working class with a savagery, a cruel, sadistic torture, that have few parallels in all history, Through the Fascist dictatorship in Ger- many the employers, the big own- ers of monopoly industry, the mil- lionaires, like Thyssen, Siemen: etc. now rule by open Fascism is the military rule, the openly reactionary, rule by means of the prison camp and the bay- onet, in the interests of the big capitalist monopolists. In Germany Hitler is the servant of the big iron and steel, coal and munitions own- ers. In the United States Fascism would be the open military-police, gang rule of Wall Street, the Mor- Sans, the Rockefellers, the Mellons and the DuPonts. Hitler promised the German masses that he would end the curse of unemployment. He promised the ruined peasants that he would re- lfeve the yoke of debt and landlord slavery. He promised the petty bourgeois of the cities an end of the economic crisis. He promised the youth of Germany an end of the stagnation and hopelessness of their Position. Fascism promised the German people an end to the yoke of the Versailles treaty by which imperial- ism of the Allied powers drains millions from the toiling German masses in bond payments and in- demnities. Fascism promised a “national Socialist revolution” against the “international bankers” and the “capitalists.” Broken Promises. But what has one year of FPas- cism brought the German working class, the ruined petty bourgeois and the impoverished small peas- ents in the countryside? Has Fas- cism accomplished a real “revolu- tion”? Has Fascism made life bet- ter for the masses? Fascism has brought new miser- ies to the German masses. It hes lord Junkers, to the rich farmers, Fascism has not been able to It has violence. “APL ividers leva!

When Fascism raises tariffs in agricultural products to help the big agrarians, when it lifie the taxes on the large landlords and gives them State subsidies collected in taxes from the masses, when it passes laws that make it impos- sible for the small peasant to con- tinue his farming, then this not only has the effect of strengthen- ing the support of the rich land- lords and peasants for Fascism, | but at the same time speeds up the process of class differentia- tion and class struggle in the couhiryside against Fascism.
