Yet while the American capitalist sheets were spilling their vile, lying poison, the Spanish workers were intensifying their struggles, entrenching their forces, carrying forward the battle against fascism. With the “revolt crushed,” the proletariat of Oviedo, Asturias, captured the huge government arsenal, arming thousands of workers for still more inten- sive and decisive battles against the Fascist hordes. Though Luis Companys and his bourgeois asso- ciates had capitulated in the national struggle of Catalonia, the proletariat and peasantry took up the battle on a higher stage and at a flercer pitch. Far from having been defeated, the proletariat throughout Spain were girding their forces for greater battles. cr MUST be remembered that every bit of news coming out of Spain is censored and doctored in the interest of the Spanish Fascist cabinet. In fact, when one correspondent was telephoning to London, the wires were suddenly shut off by the censor. Then, too, most of the news comes from correspondents in the pay of capitalist news ser- vices who are ignorant of the class forces behind the growing revolutionary struggle, and who, fur- thermore, are not too anxious to even report straight news on the advances of the workers. The Spanish proletariat is battling on. The outcome cannot be foreseen at this time. Every worker will be inspired, his heart will beat faster with hope and solidarity for his heroic Spanish brothers. Every worker will hope and fight, in every way he can, for the victroy of the Spanish toiling masses against their bestial exploiters. Here in the United States our best service in the interest of the Spanish workers will be the es- tablishment of the united front of Socialists and Communists against our own imperialist govern- ment, against its fascist measures, against its on- slaughts on the workers. Above all, we must immediately establish united n of Socialists and Communists to express our rnational solidarity, our enthusiasm for the oic battle of the Spanish toiling masses.

This court has set the date for their execution—their murder—for Dec. 7. Coinciding with this action, new vicious attacks were launched against the Scottsboro campaign and defense led by the International Labor Defense and the Communist Party. Samuel Leibowitz, former trial counsel in the case for the I. L. D. slandered the mass campaign to free the boys, and in Alabama two attorneys were framed on the charge of attempting to bribe Victoria Price. The ILD. is once again taking the Scottsboro case to the United States Supreme Court. Now, more than ever before, it is the mass pressure of the Negro and white workers, the farm- ers, and their friends throughout the United States and throughout the world, which can force the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case and free these innocent boys unconditionally. These facts place upon our Party the immediate responsibility of exerting every effort to develop the most intensive and the broadest mass campaign to defeat the plans of the landlord and industrial lynchers and to free the Scottsboro boys. The Central Committee calls upon all district committees to take immediate steps to mobilize the entire Party organization to carry out the present necessary tasks in the Scottsboro campaign. The district committees are called upon to take the following steps in support of the actions un- dertaken in this campaign by the International La- bor Defense and League of Struggle for Negro rights. 1. Mobilize all fractions for participation in all mass organizations and trade unions for the prep- aration of broad united front Scottsboro Commit- tees of Action. Those that already exist must be reactivized. These united front committees must hold Emergency Conferences on the broadest scale under their auspices. Every effort must be made to involve the Socialist Party, A. F. of L. locals, local Negro reformist organizations, N.A.A.C.P., Urban League, Garveyite, church, social, pro- Japanese organizations, etc. These conferences must not be delayed. They must be the means for de- veloping an extensive campaign which will reach mew and larger masses of workers and farmers. 2. The Scottsboro campaign must be tied up with the entire anti-fascist struggle. On this basis We must draw into the campaign the widest num- ber of workers, intellectuals, professionals, and other groups. 3. Every support must be given by Communist Party committees and fractions to the financial campaign for funds for the Scottsboro case. Large sums of money will be necessary for the legal steps alone. The campaign must not be endangered by any shortage of funds. 4. Mass meetings, parades and demonstrations an the Scottsboro issue must be arranged in all possible centers and sections, mobilizing the Negro and white masses for protest actions. 5. At every mass meeting, large or small, and in every organization, resolutions must be presented addressed to the United States Supreme Court and to President Roosevelt, both at Washington, pro- y al dict a a Alabama Supreme nediate, unconditional Special efforts must m of such resolutions ase of the Sco’ be made to secure in A. F. of L, of nd T.U.U.L, unions. 6. The Scottsboro campaign must be bound up with all of our elect paign activities from now on. We must demand of all capitalist and So- cialist candidates t stand on this que: t they Our own candidates must make their position clear not only in words but in direct participation in Scottsboro actions. take a definite public 7. We must make serious efforts to build the u le for Negro Rights, and to in- ie the circulation of the Negro Liberator during the course of the present campaign. At the same time, the LL.D., through its independent activities and leadership, must be strengthened organization- ally. There is no time to be lost. Application for re- view by the U. S. Supreme Court of the Scotts- boro d ion will be made by the ILD. within a few da} To force the acceptance of this applica- tion, to force the reversal of the Scottsboro lynch verdicts, will require tremendous efforts, a mass campaign of struggle, and the mobilization of the masses on a broader scale than ever before. The Scottsboro boys must be freed! A New Wave of Political Reaction NEW wave of political reaction is ris- ing throughout the capitalist world. Terrified by the unmistakable rise of working-class militancy everywhere, with the crisis-racked toilers beginning to take the offensive against the hunger and wretchedness which is their daily lot under capitalism, the cap- italist ruling class is everywhere rapidly turning to increasing fascist reaction to defend its rule against the actions of the masses. In the United States, the Roosevelt government is moving, amid the shooting down of strikers on the picket lines, through the treacherous channels of an “industrial truce” to chain the workers against the use of their most powerful weapon, the strike. In France, a leading bourgeois diplomat, quoted with fear and trembling this morning by the Wall Street Journal, states quite frankly: “It is not so much war that I fear for the near future, as it is revolution.” In Germany, the Nazis, facing economic ruin, plunging headlong into imperialist war, have let loose a reign of unbridled terrorism against the working class, smashing trade unions, keeping Ernst Thaelmann, Torgler, and thousands of anti-Fascist fighters in the torture cells of their dungeons and concentration camps. In its brutal desperation, German Fascism is speeding the execution “trial” of Thaelmann for Oct. 15. . * . JT IS decaying capitalism, a system ridden with chronic crisis, which breeds this black reaction, this atmosphere of stifling rot and brutality. The world forces of counter-revolution are swiftly marshalling against the irresistibly rising world forces of revolution, against the forces of liberation from the yoke of capitalism and its crisis. At the forefront of this advancing world re- action stands American capitalism which, as the recent testimony at the Senate Arms investigation abundantly confirmed, supplies this world reaction with arms and money, munitions for the re-arming of Fascist Germany, munitions and funds for the cotinter-revolutionary reaction of Chiang Kai-Shek in China, and arms to crush the Cuban revolution. The increasing evidence of officially coun- tenanced, organized anti-semitism in this country, evidenced by the speech of former Ambassador Gerard yesterday and the data made public in the recent issues of the New Masses, is a sinister symp- tom. * . * Y hero developments are not something remote from the life of every American worker. They affect him and his family profoundly. The menace of rising Fascist reaction faces every American worker, every member of a trade union, every mem- ber of the Socialist Party, every honest person who believes in the progress of society. Certainly, the time is more than ripe for uniting all anti-fascist forces, for the welding of all haters of political reaction into a mighty United Front Against Fascism and Imperialist War! Cer- tainly the time has passed yahen we can look pas- sively on while political reaction prepares to make life hell, under the heels of open capitalist dictator- ship. In Spain, Socialist and Communist workers are achieving in the fire of revolutionary action, the unity of the working class. Can Socialist workers in this country remain indifferent to this tre- mendous event? Should anything be permitted to stand in the way of welding this precious unity of the working class in this country? Must not this striving for the unity of Socialist and Communist workers become a leading subject for discussion in the Socialist Party locals? Can the workers in the A. F..of L. trade unions submit to the advance of that reaction which will smash their unions, destroy their right to strike and picket? Will we permit Roosevelt to trick the American working class to surrender the strike weapon which alone can win better conditions in the shops? A mighty United Front movement. against po- litical reaction, against Fascism, for the freeing of Thaelmann, who symbolizes the world fight against Fascism, a movement to defend the right to strike, this is the immediate need of the hour. To All Workers! HE workers’ armed struggle against fas- cism that is taking place in Spain is a struggle that every class-conscious worker must take to heart. It shows that the class lines all through the world are being sharpened, that the proletariat is preparing to challenge the authority of the bourgeoisie and set up Soviet power. We must support this struggle with all our power. But we must remember that here in Amer- ica we, too, face the menace of fascism, we, too, face the necessity of challenging the hunger deal of Roosevelt and the advance of fascism. Every honest and conscientious worker must realize that to beat back the attacks of the fascists we must strengthen the Communist Party. It is the Communist Party that stands as the vanguard of every working class fight. It is the Communist Party that organizes the fight against hunger, war and fascism. The Communist Party is now appealing to all anti-fascist fighters, to all workers struggling for higher wages and better conditions, to all the op- pressed toilers of the country, to join their Party. In joining the Communist Party and in working in the Communist movement, they join in a fight that will not only benefit them but will bring about the end of the corrupt, murderous and decaying cap- italist system, |American Youth Club, |Russian by Celia Larkin. . Party Life | Worker: School Formed | In Youngstown, Ohio, U.S. Steel Center | The latest addition to the na- tion-wide chain of workers’ schools jhas been established in Youngs- town, O., a steel center of the coun- try. The school, with its headquar- |ters at 310 W. Federal St., will open its fall term with eight classes |nouncement of courses has been is- |sued, stating that “The Youngs- |town Workers School has been es- | tablished in response to a long felt |need in the workers’ movement and among thinking people for system- atic political education. The work- ing class today is in urgent need of trained leaders and organizers.” Ada Searles, executive secretary of the school, stated that an enroll- ment of 150 students is expected for the fall term. Already the A. F. of L. steel union and other working class organizations have agreed to send students to the school. A spe- cial conference of representatives from mass organizations was held at the school headquarters Sept. 15 and a school committee was estab- lished. The committee is now actively engaged in raising a $200 opening fund and preparing for the open- ing banquet to be held at the school headquarters Sunday, Oct. 14, at) 6:30 p.m. Among the organiza-} tions supporting the school are the} the John Reed Club, the eight branches of the International Workers Order, the Zora Club, the Hungarian Workers Cultural Club. The John Reed Club has played an especially active part in the launching of the school. Among the courses to be offered are Principles of Communism by John Gates and Arvo Halberg; Principles of Organization by John Steuben; Trade Union Strategy and Tactics by Joe Dallet; Current Problems by Arvo Halberg, and I. W. O. Training Course by Morris Been; Elementary English by F. Roland and Intermediate English by H. Blumenthal and Elementary The school has already received con- siderable publicity in the Youngs- town papers and, judging by the spirit and enthusiasm with which the launching of the ‘Workers | School has been received by the | workers of Youngstown, the school | promises to be a success from the | start. Workers of Youngstown feel that the school will play an important role in providing them with lead- ers for the class struggle. Regis- tration is now going on at the school headquarters. Everyone is urged to register at once. 15th C. P. Birthday Observed Beaver County held its fifteenth Communist Party Anniversary meet- ing in Freedom on Sunday, Sept. 30, | with comrades and sympathizers, present from Beaver Falls, New Brighton, Rochester, Ambridge and Freedom. In a discussion of the Party his- tory, careful comparison was made, showing how the movement locally had failed to keep up with the na- tional movement. A program de- veloped at the meeting contains the following points: immediate con- centration on Party recruiting, in- creasing the tempo of the Daily Worker drive, increasing Daily Worker circulation, building the Y. C. L. and mass organizations, It is necessary to carry this pro- gram out immediately to break through the terror and intimidation which Jones and Laughlin has fastened on Beaver County and which it is now trying to extend. ‘We are aware that there is a great difference between a program on paper and one actually carried out and it is now up to the Party mem- bers in the Beaver Valley Section and Ambridge to transfer this plan from paper to actual facts. SECTION ORGANIZER. USSR Farms Harvest Big Grain Crops (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Oct. 7.—Grain har- vesting in the U.S.S.R. is nearing completion. According to latest reports 198,157,000 square miles of cores had been harvested by Sept. Only 15,375,000 acres, chiefly in Siberia and other northeastern regions, remain to be harvested. The sowing of winter corn is pro- gressing successfully, especially in the south of the U.SS.R. Twelve northern and central regions have already completed sowing. The collective farms in these regions have ooverfulfilled their sowing plans 3 to 10 percent. Eighty-one percent of the plan for winter corn sowing, or 65,000,000 acres, had been sown throughout the Soviet Union by Sept. 25, or against 42,833,000 sown by the same date in 1933. The organizational and economic growth of the collective farms and the 1934 yield are testified to by the continuous flow of grain to the state and co-operative grain pur- chasing points. 84.3 percent of the yearly plan of grain deliveries has been completed. A large number of regions have completed harvesting ahead of schedule. The Eastern regions and Siberia are lagging slightly. The amount of surplus grain at collective farms can be judged by the latest extensive purchases made by consumers’ co-operatives.- The co-operatives about the Moscow regions bought 13,675,000 tons of grain in three days from collective farms, collective farmers, and in- dividual farmers. Agricultural machines and auto- |mobiles are in great demand at the |collective farms. During the last |few days co-operatives in the Mos- cow region sold 200 motor lorries | beginning Oct. 15.

S. S. R., Oct. 9.— The Proletarka cotton mill at Kalinin is divided into three main departments: spinning, weaving and calico printing. Each department is organized as a separate institu- tion with its director, trade union and Communist Party committees, and various social _ institutions grouped around. Among the activities in these so- cial organizations and activities is the most important one of eating. The textile worker, like most Soviet workers, eats his big meal of the day at the “factory kitchen,” or fac- tory dining room, at or near his shop. If he or she is single, two other meals are also eaten in the factory kitchen. Married workers, as a rule, eat the other two meals at home. Soviets’ Dining Facilities Let us take a look at the factory dining rooms of the spinning mill at the Proletarka. There are four of them, right in the factory build- ing, so that no time ts lost during the noon hour by workers going to and, from the dining room. The whole lunch period can be spent eating, or at meetings or concerts a have been arranged for these mes, There is a big main dining room for all workers, airy, light, free from odors, full of tables seating four persons each, ornamented with potted plants, pictures on the walls, and with a stage on one side for entertainments. Then there are smaller rooms, one for shock work- ers, and one for those who during the previous month worked without spoiling any yarn at all, and one for engineers and technicians. Beautiful Decorations The chief difference between these dining rooms is in the heavier food for shock workers, because they work faster and harder; in the beautiful decorations and hon- ored status of those who eat in the “room of the wasteless,” and in the higher prices charged engineers. The food in the common dining room is just as pure, just as care- fully inspected, without such a wide choice but a little cheaper than the food in the engineers’ room. Menu Changed Daily The menu hangs on the wall. It is changed daily. The day I was there, the diners in the common room were eating—for half a ruble —a meal consisting of a big bowl of soup made up of meat and a variety of vegetables, including potatoes and cucumbers. “Rasol- nik” may have had anything else in it, but it also must have cucum- bers. The soup here must have about a pound and a half of ma- terial in it. Then came a goulash, with car- rots, meat and potatoes in it. Bread went with the meal. There was a wide choice of cakes and deserts to be had, but they were extra, at a cost of ten or fifteen kopeks each. Quantity and Quality This same day the udarniks, the heavy fast workers, were eating: the same “rasolnik” soup, and a choice of either fish or meat. The’ meat was called “cutlets,” a kind of hamburger or meat loaf. The dish of cutlets had in it meat and potatoes. The fish dinner also in- cluded potatoes. There was bread with both dinners, and desert was at a flat extra rate of ten kopeks. to the collective farms so it was possible for the udarnik to eat for 45 kopeks. The “room of the wasteless” was the pride of the place. It was on a corner, with windows and bay windows on three sides. In the center was a fountain of running water. Its buffet glistened with nickel and glass. Its potted plants were bigger and more colorful. Here, to the sound of a splashing fountain, throwing rainbow colors on the floor when the sun caught it, the “wasteless” ate: Schee, a soup of cabbage and other green vege- tables cut fine. Then, a choice of “betochki,” which to me was indis- tinguishable from cutlets except for the different shape of the loaf, or pancakes or fish, or all of them, but that would cost more. Free Food Items The soup, coffee and bread went with the meal free. The betochki dish also had meat and potatoes in it, and this dinner cost 50 kopeks. The pancakes, with cottage cheese, cost 35 kopeks. Fish and potatoes cost 35 kopeks. Dessert was ten or fifteen kopeks. It was possible for the “wasteless” to eat a three-course meal for as little as 45 kopeks, or to pay as much as 65. A four-course meal might cost 80 kopeks or more. Engineers Pay More The engineers had much the same meal as the “wastelelss,” but they paid 23 kopeks for their schee, 97 kopeks for their betochki, 67 kopeks for their fish, 44 kopeks for their pancakes, 16 kopeks for their coffee. It is significant that the assistants to the engineers eating in the same room and the same identical meal, got everything for about two-thirds the price the engineers paid, be- cause the assistants get less salary. Here you have an example of the two currents that run through all Soviet wage economy: higher pay for the moré skillful worker, and at the same time, special concessions to the beginner, the lower paid groups, to ensure, that they get the necessities of life in good measure. In another article the process by which the lower paid worker trans- forms himself quickly into the higher paid groups is described—he does it by acquiring skill, and he not only has every facility placed at his disposal for that purpose, but is the center of a whole cam- paign intended to enduce him to gain skill. Worker’s Food Sources ‘The food for the textile workers’ breakfast and dinner comes from three main sources: the ORS stores, the kitchen gardens and the peasant market. They rank in that order of importance. The ORS is the main source. ‘The name is made up of the initials of the Russian words meaning “Workers’ Supply Department,” and these departments are run by the administration of the factory. They are watched over, supervised, in- spected, and checked on by union, Communist Party, and City govern- ment, each of which involve com- mittees elected by and from the ac- tual worke:s who buy their goods in the ORS to help in the inspection. The ORS stores sell not only food- stuffs but clothing, household uten- sils and articles of general use. They sell at a considerable reduction below the prices in the commercial store, that is on the open market, and the worker normally buys all his standard food stuffs in them. Local ORS Stores Among Best The ORS stores in Kalinin are among the best arranged and best stocked in the country. Particular attention is paid to display of arti- cles for sale both on counters and in windows—I saw things like boxes of matches arranged in how Soviet Textile Workers Eat In Huge Proletarka Cotton Mill {SmalierRooms Designed for Shock Troopers; Concerts Held that taste and _ general spreads continually. culture Most of the pire will proceed more rapidly than in Korea. The militarists have al- ready drawn up plans making Man- churia and Jehol an integral part of the Japanese empire, The first step is the reorganiza- tion of the Japanese military and political organs in these Chinese provinces for more effective control. The provinces will be sub-divided into ten provinces or administrative districts, The Japanese ambassador to “Manchukuo” is to be placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Premier of Japan, and will be given ever more administrative powers of the ORS stores hitherto have been rather plain business-like affairs with goods simply piled up on the shelves in the most convenient way, without regard to the psychological effect on the buyer. ‘The ORS stores sell only to work- ers of the factories which run them, but all factories have their ORS stores. In Kalinin the ORS stores of the textile factories are divided into branches, one branch for work- ers living downtown, located in the town, another branch for those at the factory grounds proper, located there, and still another branch for those in the workers’ settlement in the woods near the factory, located in the settlement. The kitchen garden idea is only a few years old in the Soviet Union. Any textile worker who wishes to cultivate half an acre of land can sign up for it, and will be given the ground by the city, through the trade union. This year only 3,500 of the mill hands took out land, but they each reaped an average of a ton of vegetables from their gardens, and have as one woman confessed with some amusement, “enough potatoes and carrots to make it a problem where to store them.” While I was there, various types of community storehouses were being hastily secured and put in order, and some apartments were rather crowded still with sacks and boxes of vegetables. Peasant Markets Those who did not cultivate kitchen gardens get a good deal of their green stuff from the peasant market, This is an open space with booths maintained by the city in the center of the town. Here hundreds of peasants in carts come in early morning, lay out their wares, mainly vegetables, poultry, meat and fruit, and after paying a small tax for a sales license, pro- ceed to sell to all comers. These peasants are mainly collec- tive farmers, selling their own products directly to the consumer. lective pays the government the amounts required in the state deliv- ery (for which it is paid in money by the state) and after paying back any loans of seed, etc., receives his share of the money from the sale to the state and of what produce is left in accordance with the number of working days he has put in. He can consume some of the produce himself, but if the amount is large he can sell it. The peasant market is one of the ways of selling it. Prices in the peasant market are somewhat higher than in the ORS, but the ORS may not have as big a variety of fruits, vegetables and meats. World’s Best Fed Workers It is safe to say that already the Soviet mill hand is the best fed textile worker in the world. It is already no longer a question of enough food, but merely one of more variety, more tasty food, more con- venience in purchasing and pre- been organized, by which prepared meals for children can be bought and taken home.
