Page 2 = ILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1934 Chicago Candidates Flay Board | Of Elections Legal Tricks, Terror| Used by Boss Parties | Against Workers By HERBERT NEWTON (Communist Candidate for Con- gressman, First Mlinois District) CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 19. Sur- prised and terrified by the 1932 Communist vote of 12,000 for Chi- cago alone, the bourgeoisie went scurrying to its State Assembly to| pass a law increasing the number | of required signatures from 2 per cent to 5 per cent, thereby hoping forever to bar the Communist Party from the ballot. | No chances could be taken in a city of 40,000 stockyard workers, | and with tens of thousands more | workers engaged in steel, metal, | railroad industries. No chances | could be taken in a city of thou- sands unemployed and when on more than one occasion 10,000 job- less workers marched past City Hall thundering their demands in the ears of the mayor, and once even flaunting the red flag under the nose of Governor Horner who was then visiting the city. The bourgeoisie felt certain, however, that this mass of discontent would find no political expression at the polls. But this false sense of security was shattered when the Communist Party called united front confer- ences in the Spring of this year. ‘These conferences, unanimously en- dorsing the Communist candidates, reflected the growing discontent of the Chicago workers, and indicated that at least the more advanced elements were ready and willing to use the ballot box as an additional weapon against the bourgeoisie. Terror Begins The bankers, packers, steel mill owners, railroad magnates then re- sorted to terror to keep the Com- munist Party off the ballot. Street corner meetings were smashed, cir- culators of Communist petitions were arrested, unemployed signers of the petitions were threatened with having their relief cut off, etc. When in spite of all these fascist deeds, the Communist Party suc- ceeded in securing enough signa- tures to place its candidates on the pallot, the bourgeoisie was forced to combine legal trickery with its open terrorism. The state ticket was thrown off the ballot in a bom~- bast of legal phraseology. A writ of mandamus presented to the Su- preme Court was ignored. And just to prove that an “impartial” verdict had been rendered, Governor Hor-/ ner, “the great humanitarian,” laid aside all legal requirements to per- mit the working class to be repre- sented by the Socialist Party! The Communist state ticket hav- | ing been thus disposed of, the local | Communist candidates were then challenged. The hearings on the petitions took place at the Cook County building on Oct. 8-10. Twenty reasons why the Party should be struck off the ballot were presented by bribed tools of the Democratic Party. Ev ery objection the ruling class could think of, was cooked up. Under the heavy bom- pardment of the IL.D. attorneys, | Democratic Party. Every objection | simmered down to four: (1) that too many signatures were collected; (2) that they were filed in the wrong place; (3) that the word Tinois was printed and abbreviated instead of being written in long- hand and in full, and (4) that most of the signatures were foreries. The legal aspects of the first three objections were ably answered by the I. L. D. attorneys. The fourth objection was answered by the candidates who brought to the hearings some of the very people whose signatures were supposed to have been forgeries. The corrupt politicians had committed the aw- ful blunder of including in the list of “forgeries” the names of Com- munist precinct captains, campaign managers, and in one case the name of the candidate himself! Candidates Flay Board Having disposed of these legal objections the Communist candi- datés, Armstrong, Zwolinski, Spiegel and I exposed the role of the hear- ings, and ripped the hypocritical mask from the faces of the “im- partial” election commissioners. ‘These speeches so riled the Elec- tion Commissioners that on the Jast day of the hearings they dropped their mask of impartiality, openly sided with the attorney of the Democratic Party, refused to allow Spiegal to continue his speech of the previous day, and abruptly closed the hearings. Workers Protest Hundreds of individuals and or- ganizations are now demanding that the workers’ Party be allowed on the ballot. By the time this article is printed the Election Board will have made its decision known. But whichever is decided, it loses. If the Communist slate is on the ballot, we have another path to thousands of workers still under the influence of the bourgeoisie. If only some Communist candidates are al- lowed on the ballot, these can be used to expose the motives of the bourgeoisie in barring the others. If the whole Communist slate is barred, the carrying on of an en- ergetic extra-legal election cam- paign will break the faith of the workers in bourgeois democracy, and convince them that participa- tion in election is only one of the means of preparing the working Locting the Pocery Empioquee on the Seles Sinf See eS who grumbled at the umber of rejects that were charged againet him —~ “We are delighted with the appearance of the hose just received,” the letter said, “and due to lity we are herewith seading you our ross additional, ete., etc tor's comment, after the employee the letter was. “Buddy, it’s up to you | | SPLOYRES ASKED 4 WAGE CUT The first photostat is a page of a pamphlet published by the Sherman spy agency and circulated secretly among employers. | The second is a photostat page from training booklet No, B5754 of a Corporation Auxiliary Company spy. structed to study it and return it immediately and anonymously.

They print a tiny booklet called, | “Preliminary Educational Instruc- | tions” and it is circulated among their operatives with the utmost secrecy, The photostat on page two | is taken from No. B5754..

Says Corporations Auxiliary to its stools: “If you notice any workers sleeping, wasting time in toilets, | shirking their work, destroying ma- | terial, carelessly handling machinery, | washing up ahead of time, coming in late, padding the time clock, fooling with the help, or any other thing which they should not do,) then, mention it in your report.” “Invisible Harmonizers” Sixty pages of this in the “Pre- liminary Educational Instructions” alone. Slick, you say, and slick it is. It is on the basis of many thou- sand such reports by these “in- visible harmonizers” that Corpora- tions Auxiliary prepares its blacklists. It was they who help break the steel and the rayon workers’ strikes at Elizabethton, Tenn. They set spies on the Trade Union Unity League in Birmingham, Ala., on the Shoe and Leather Workers’ Indus- trial Union in Brooklyn, on silk workers in Paterson, on Otis Eleva- tor Co. employes and in the plant bes Westinghouse Electric and Mfg. |Co. Sheer chance is not responsible for the fact that they have their central offices in the General Motors Building. As far as we know, and our knowledge is by no means com- plete, their sneaks pollute the al- ready fetid atmosphere of the Chrysler, McCord Radiator and Graham-Paige plants. In an effort to impress its own operative, Corporations Auxiliary writes to the possessor of No. B5754 that it “has among its working forces men who are affiliated with nearly all of the labor organiza- tions” and, discounting the element of bragging which characterizes all of these outfits, their claim has a much too impressive basis of truth. Jack Peters Every union man in Wheeling, West Va., remembers Jack Peters. At the time of his death he was @ member in good standing of the Amalgamated Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, the business agent of the Wheeling machinists local and presi- dent of the Central Labor Union of that city. It was difficult to believe that he was the actual author of many of the Steel Corporation’s voluminous blacklists, But there it was in black and white. With the revealing of the correspondence of F-E-Field Exec- utive-Anderson, Peters was beyond a doubt proven to be Corporations Auxiliary operative R-O.

When queried on the probability that the “industries” in these com- munities will pay lower than stand- ard wage rates and thus serve neighboring employers as a wage slash lever, Hopkins answered: “that’s always possible.” The Presidential Committee on Economic Security is to report to Roosevelt by Dec. 1. It ts gener- ally expected that whatever is re- commended will ignore the many millions of present unemployed and attempt to avoid paying genuine un- employment insurance to the future unemployed by either subscribing to the unemployment “reserves” pro- vided for in the Roosevelt-backed Wagner-Lewis Bill or else relieve the Federal Government altogether with the exception of paying “overhead expenses.” Either will satisfy big business, which is lined up behind the Federal Government against the Workers’ Unemployment Insur- ance Bill, the measure formulated at the beginning of the capitalist crisis by the Communist Party and sey- eral workers’ mass organizations.

In the A. F. of L, the movement for its enactment has received a tremendous impetus— 2,400 local unions, six State Fed- erations of Labor, five International Unions, thirty Trades and Labor Bodies have backed the bill. The Communist Party, in the first plank of its election platform, as well as in the daily struggles of the workers, carries forward this grow- ing demand for genuine unemploy- ment insurance. On this the Com- |munist Party election platform ‘Industrial Adjustment’ Agencies Uncovered As Network of Stoolpigeons states—‘“For the endorsement by the state administrations and all state, city and local officials of the Work- ers Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill, and for their active support to the campaign to have the bill enacted into law by Con- gress.” Local Groups to Be Set Up Herbert Benjamin, executive sec- retary of the Organizational Com- mitiee for the Congress, yesterday outlined the organizational steps to be taken in preparation for the National Congress. “Local groups of sponsors should be set up at once in all cities and principal centers. The call should be brought to the first possible meeting of each organization and a vote taken to endorse and parti- cipate in the National Congress and local arrangements committees and conferences. “If a local Congress Arrange- ments Committee already exists, steps should be taken for participa- tion in it through elected delegates, and where such a committee does be taken to form one. Copies of the call should be obtained from the National Committee, 80 East Elev- enth Street, New York, and cir- culated widely in all organiza- tions.” Support Must Be Broadened symposiums should be called in every locality, Benjamin added, with the purpose of enlisting and broad- ening the present mass movement for genuine tinemployment insur- ance, Delegates should be elected in all organizations and immediate steps taken to raise funds for financing local and State conferences and for tions to Washington when the Con- gress meets.

All the rest is trimmings to shield this despicable effort to force the unemployed into outright’ starvation. This scheme of a new works’ program, to cut re- lief, is so cryingly a move against both unemployed and employed, that the Director of the Women’s Division of the State Department of Labor, New York, a Roosevelt supporter, Miss Frieda S. Miller, was forced to declare the following (Associated Press dispatch from Albany, N. Y., Oct. 19): “Tf persons on cash relief are to accept work at coolie wages of as low as ten cents an hour for pressed their demand for the Work- ers’ Bill by endorsements in their trade unions. Hundreds of locals of the American Federation of Labor and scores of Central Labor Bodies and many State Federations have backed the Workers’ Bill. Special efforts shrould be made to have these and all trade unions represented at the National Con- gress and, of course, in local com- mittees.” The official magazine of the Con- gress Arrangements Committee, containing valuable information on conditions that make unemploy- ment and social insurance neces- sary, and the principles that must be embodied in a genuine insur- ance system, can be obtained from the National Office. Single copies of the magazine sell for five cents; bundles at $3.50 a hundred. Offi- cial collection lists and buttons are being sent out to finance the na- tional and local Congress arrange- ments and the Congress itself, and to make it possible to send or- ganizers into the field, and pay hall rentals, circulate leaflets, and the other expenses involved in the calling of the Congress. Dyers Vote To Strike Next Week (Continued from Page 1) a sergeant entered the union hall, chasing the workers out of the hall or upstairs, away from the office. Keller is in panic, because he is unable to stall the silk strike. There are more workers being locked out, jthe workers being discriminated against for having participated in the general strike. The sentiment for a general silk strike of 15,000 silk workers in Paterson to force recognition of the union is high. The meeting arranged by the rank and file committee of 25 was called in view of the fact that all efforts to get the union officials to call a membership meeting to take up the situation in the trade, were fruit- sending of representative delega- less. Keller evaded the matter and finally this committee of 25 called \the meeting. As a result of this, through the An Editorial for war. Frame-Up During War in Bar Le Duc By JAMES W. FORD (Communist Candidate. for Con- gress in 2ist District, Harlem) “Rape.” The word spread through the garrison as if by invisible wires. It was whispered to me by one of my buddies. He told me that a woman had complained of an at- tack by one of the men in our regiment, Ours was the 325th Field Signal Battalion. We were all Negroes ex- cept, of course, the officers, and we were stationed at Bar Le Duc, in 1918. When the story of the supposed attack spread through the outfit we were all rather worried. In the first place, we did not believe the story. Our men all knew the danger of such a thing and that it would come especially hard on us because we were Negroes. The Negroes always got the worst of everything and war time was no exception despite the sweet promises that were handed out to us. However, this woman, a camp follower, claimed that one of our men had attacked her and de- manded to inspect our whole outfit to identify the offender. Our offi- cers consented to this plan and picked a day. We knew that, if only to save “face,” this woman would probably pick on one of our men and have him framed-up for the crime. Everyone of us knew that he might possibly be picked and resentment ran high. Something had to be done. Almost spontaneously we started rumors and rumblings to the effect that if anyone dared to pick on one of our men “something terrible” was going to happen. The officers and everyone around us received the implications of the whole affair. Nothing definite was done by us. There was really little more that we could do. We were simply bluffing the whole thing by assuming right- eous indignation. It worked. We probably put the fear of Satan into the officers. They lined us up like cattle.

But to the men in our outfit it was a victory brought about by organized potential pres- sure and the fact that we all stuck together in spreading fear into the hearts (if they possess them) of the officers. The red herring of “rape” must be pickled by men and. women of the Negro race today, together with the revolutionary white workers and sympathizers. The Communist Party has been the lone political party, during these three years of the frame-up of the Sco:tsboro boys, by its energetic fight and clear understanding of Negro oppression, to make this fight one for Negroe Uberation.

Against the New Deal attacks on the living standards; against rising living costs; for higher wages, shorter hours. 2 Against growing fascist terror; for the right to join unions of the workers’ own choice; for the right to strike, picket, to demonstrate; for all civil and political rights of the workers, 3. For the passage of the Workers’ Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill, the cost to be paid by the employers and the government. 4. For the repeal of the A.A.A.; for emergency relief to the impoverished farmers; for cancella- tion of debts, and for the Farmers’ Einergency Relief Bill. 5. Against Jim-Crowism and lynching; for equal rights for Negroes, and self-determination in the black belt. 6. For immediate payment of the veterans’ back wages (bonus). 7. Against the sales tax; no taxes on persons or their property, earning less than $3,000 a year; steeply graduated and greatly increased taxation on the rich. 8. Against Roosevelt’s war program.
