Mass Party of Working Class By Bill Nearly a quarter of a million voters cast their ballots | Gebert in the 1932 presidential election for Wm. Z. Foster and James W. Ford, standard bearers of the Communist Party. Many tens of thousands of votes were cast in every im- portant industrial center of the country. Tens of thousands of impoverished farmers and tens¢— of thousands of Negroes voted Com- | munist. In Taylor Springs, Illinois, | and in a village in Michigan, Com-| munists were elected to the city| administration, | The Communist voters represent | the advance section of the American | proletariat. They are already reach- | ing the point where they agree with | the Communist analysis of the| sesent situation. They vote for) revolutionary way out of the crisis. They accept the Communist Party as the leader of the toiling masses. Yet they are not members of the Party. Many of them do not sufficiently realize that in not members of the Party,. they are not helping to hasten its devel- opment, they are not a conscious factor in bringing about the revolu- tionary way out of the crisis of capitalism. They remain as sym- pathizers of the Communist Party. Many of them are devoted to the Party. Some of them consider them- selves as Communists. But there are no Communists outside the ranks of the Communist Party. If those who vote for the Com- munist Party on election day, would also join the ranks of the Party and hecome active in it, they alone could make it the mass party of.the American prolefariat. To cite-an example: In the city of Chicago over 12,000 votes were cast. for, Foster and Ford in 1932, yet the Party membership in Chi- cago is only 2,500. Another example, Claude Lightfoot, young Negro Jeader of the Young Communist League, in 1932, received 11,000 votes in the Fifth Senatorial District, where there are no more than 300 members of the Communist Party and about 50 in the Young Com- munist League. If these thousands of Communist voters can be organ- ized in the Party, many splendid election victories can he obtained. As it is now, in most cases, our Party has no contact with. these voters. Therefore, they are not in- volved in the preparation of the campaign, nor in the course of the election struggles. They only regis- ter their support on election day. It is to these workers, impover- ished farmers, and Negro people that the Communist Party makes an urgent appeal to join its ranks, become active members, and help the Party carry out its election campaign. If we had only half of the 12,000 who voted Communist in 1932, as members of the Party in Chicago, there would have been no great. difficulty in doubling or tripling. the. number of signatures necessary to place the Communist Party on. the ballot. Every Communist voter should seriously consider this question and answer to himself why he or she is not a member of the Party for which he has voted. We of the Communist Party see no reason why you who voted Communist cannot also be Party comrades. We call upon you Communist voters not only to vote Communist and get others to do likewise, but to join the ranks of the only Party of the working class, the Communist Party. Communist voters should realize, as they undoubtedly do, that the Communist Party is not a parlia- mentary partyin the bourgeois sense of the word. It is a revolu- tionary party of the working class. The Communist Party carries the struggle not only on election day, but every day of the. year, on all fronts. You need the Communist Party to help carry out your strug- gles. Communist yoters, into the ranks of the Communist Party! Relief Workers Strike on Columbus FERA Job COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 22— Eighty-two workers walked off. of the Alm Creek F.E.R.A. job here last week in protest against bull- dozing by the boss. A meeting was held and a committee was elected to present the complaints’ of the workers to the township trustees. On the committee were workers from the job, some who are mem- bers of the Ohio Unemployed League, and three delegates from the Unemployment Council. Little, chairman of the commit- tee, and reported to be of the Ohio Unemployed League, took it upon himself to exclude the Unemploy- ment Council delegates from the committee, without consulting the workers who did the electing. When the committee went to the trustees, Little said that he represented no organization, and that he had no demands to make. Little also went alone to Congressman Lamneck “to interview him personally.” The workers on the committee were against Little’s position and will raise the question at the next meeting as to his authority to go against the decisions of the rank and file. Communist Candidates Are Leaders in the Fight for the Right to Organize, Strike, Picket. Steel Union EndorsesC. P. Candidates 1,100 Cleveland Steel Workers Will Cast Communist Votes By FRANK ROGERS Dist. Sec’y, Metal Workers Union CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 21— The Cleveland Distrixt Board of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, after a two-hour discussion on the present election issues and candidates at its last regular meet- ing, voted unanimously to endorse the candidates of the Communist Party. Present at the meeting were seven regular board members (four non- Party and three Party members) and representatives of seven local unions representing a membership of 1,100 steel and metal workers in | Cleveland. Following the presenta- tion of the Communist position in the present election campaign a non-Party worker declared: “I move we endorse the Commu- nist candidates in the present elec- tion because they fight for us every day of the year. Let’s vote for them on Noy. 6 and put them into office!” The vote was unanimous. Boss Candidates Stay Away Candidates of other political par- ties failed to appear at this meet~- ing, although all Congressional can- didates of the Democratic, Repub- lican and Socialist parties were in- vited. Perhaps the reason for their failure to appear was the union questionnaire submitted with each invitation. The questionnaire states: “Do you favor the abdlition and outlawing of company unions? “Do you favor and will you en- dorse the immediate pardoning of Tom Mooney, our honorary na- tional chairman, and uncondi- tional freedom for the innocent Scottsboro boys? “Do you favor and endorse the Workers Unemployment Insur - ance Bill, H. R. 7598, introduced in the last Congress by Congress- man Lundeen (copy inclosed)? “Are you against capitalist war preparations and war itself? What is your position on the rising menace of fascism in this coun- try? ““What is your position on Ne- gro rights—socially, economically, Politically? “Do you favor the abolition of the Criminal Syndicalist Laws of the country? “Do you endorse the N.R.A. codes as a decent wage standard for the American workers? “Do you favor the devaluation of the dollar and its resulting rise in prices? “What is your position on the use of police, troops, and court injunctions in labor disputes? “Do you favor the unrestricted right of workers to organize, strike and picket. Undoubtedly the Democrats and Republicans would have exposed themselves if they attempted to an- swer these questions. Therefore their absence. As to the Socialist Party, evidently Sidney Yellen, their Congressional candidate, feared the anger of the unionists for his strikebreaking role by help- ing the A. F. of L. bureaucrats break the strike of the Chase brass workers this summer. Injunctions Scored Mrs. Yetta Land, candidate for Attorney-General, and A. R. Onda, candidate for county commissioner, represented the Communist Party. Comrade Land spoke on the fight against labor injunctions. Comrade Onda spoke on the fight for un- employment and social insurance and against the N.R.A. hunger codes. Both received invitations to appear before local unions of the S. M. W. 1 U. Following the board meeting the union issued a statement to all lo- cals in which it, urges all union members and unorganized steel and metal workers to vote Communist on Nov. 6. The S.M.W.LU. has also issued an open letter to the Me- chanics’ Educational Society of America, International Workers of the World and the American Fed- eration of Labor, calling upon all union members in cleveland to vote for the working class candidates of the Communist Party in the pres- ent elections.

On Campaign Issues At Stowe School CINCINNATI, Oct. 22.—Attempts to prevent use of Stowe School for & Communist election rally have been defeated by vigorous action of the Communist Party, the Interna- tional Labor Defense, and other working class organizations. As a result, a big turn-out is ex- pected for the mass meeting and rally at Stowe School, Tuesday, Oct. 23, 8 p.m., when John Williamson, District Organizer, will speak. By unanimous vote, the Board of Education attempted to deny use of the school to the Communist Party, after assurances were given by the Superintendent of Schools that the Party's application would be granted. This action violated state law which provides for use of the schools by all political parties. The Board’s action was based on the claim that the Communist Party was not a regular political party. When in- terviewed by telephone, Chase Davies, Board President, stated that he did not know the Communist Party was on the ballot in the com- ing election. On the call of the Communist Party and the International Labor Defense, however, Cincinnati work- ers and professionals rallied in pro- test against the Board’s denial of democratic rights and poured in a flood of demands by telegraph, tele- phone, and mail that the Party be given use of Stowe School on Oct. 23. Board members were kept up half the night answering telephone pro- tests, and as a result, on the day following, the Board’s decision was reversed, thus demonstrating the ef- fectiveness of mass pressure. Ella Bloor To Speak At Communist Rally In Richmond, Noy. 4 RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 27.—An election meeting has been called by the Communist Party to be held at the John Marshall High School Auditorium, November 4, 8 p.m. Mother Ella Bloor will be the main Speaker. William H. Friend, candi- date for Congress, in the third Con- gressional district of Virginia, will also speak. 50 Campaign Meetings Slated in North Dakota By Communist Party BISMARCK, N. D., Oct. 21.— With a full slate of candidates for Smeregs and state offices, the Com- munist Party election campaign in North Dakota is in full swing now, and 50 mass meetings are scheduled for the last few weeks before elec- tion day. The seven principal candidates who were selected by the State nominating convention are: Arvo Husa for U. S. Senator; Jas- per Haaland and Effie Kjorstad for Congress; P. J. Barrett for Gover- nor; B. J. Holland for Lieutenant Governor; Harry Juul for Commis- sioner of Labor and Agriculture, and Ashbel Ingerson for Commis- sioner of Railroads. The Communist candidates have proven their ability to win demands for the farmers- and workers of North Dakota by stopping fore- closures and evictions and leading the fight for relief for the poor and unemployed, and for fodder for stricken livestock in the devastated drought area. Single Unemployed Men Picket Toledo Relief Office, Strike on Job TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct, 22.—Single unemployed workers have been picketing the Emergency Relief Ad- ministration offices here for the past week after their demands for rent aed and groceries had been re- ‘us The single men, in a united front struggle under the leadership of a joint committee of the Single Men’s Protective Union, the Unemploy- ment Council, the Marine Workers Industrial Union and the Unem- ployed Leagues, are demanding, in addition to rent and relief, abolition of forced labor and the flop houses and the removal of Lucas County Relief Director Thompson, a lieu- tenant of the National Guard. A complete tie-up has been ef- fected on all the forced labor proj- ects on which the single men have been forced to work 16 hours a week in the parks and public buildings in exchange for food and shelter. Support of Workers Prevents Suppression Of C.P. Election Rally WILKES-BARRE, Pa., Oct. 22.— In spite of the efforts of local offi- ¢ials of Hudson to prevent John Muldowney, Communist candidate for Congress in the Luzerne County area, from holding a campaign meeting, more than 500 workers at- tended a rally called there. The meeting was held despite the denial of a permit and officials were powerless to interfere because of the support given by the audence i. the election campaign commit- Communist Candidates Are Leaders in the Fight for the Right to Organize, Strike, Picket. | Candidates To Speak} CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The recent action of the Illinois State authori- ties in barring the Communist Party from the ballot in the No- vember elections has been protested by the membership of the Chicago | International Labor Defense in the following resolution: “The International Labor Defense | of the Chicago District, numbering 3,000 members and 4,000 affiliated members, condemns the high- handed action of the State authori- ties in barring the Communist Party from the ballot. Under the guise of technicalities, the only working-class political Party has been ruled off at the time when the terror of the boss class and the state authorities has reached an unprecedented level. “The Communist Party in its pro- gram calls for the repeal of the Criminal Syndicalist Law and for | the rights of the Negro people, and | against terror. This is the only Party that has these demands on its platform, The working class ‘and the farmers of the State of | Illinois, by the action of the State | officials of the Democratic and Re- | publican Parties, are being deprived | of their constitutional rights to) register their protests at the polls | against their miserable conditions | and the ever-growing attacks upon their standard of living. “The International Labor Defense calls upon its membership, and all workers that believe in the releas- ing of class-war prisoners and the defense of the right of the toilers, to protest most sharply to Gov- ernor Horner against this attack on their Party and for the immediate placing of the Communist candi- dates upon the ticket. We call upon workers to hold protest meetings, send delegations to public officials, and to more than ever aid in the casting of a huge vote on Nov. 6 for the Communist Party. “A.

Pecan Shellers Out Again in Texas; Ask SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (F.P.).— Conflict again rages in San An- tonio’s pecan shelling indus‘ry as | the result of a new strike of Mex- | ican shellers and crackers. These workers, having won their demand | in August for a wage of five cents and six cents a pound for shellers, are now demanding seven cents a pound straight for half-meats, which must be picked from the shells without being broken. This task is more tedious than ever this year, because the drought has caused the nuts to be small and hard. The workers have no code be- cause they are employed in an agrarian industry. They have man- aged to secure their present wage only because they have fought bit- terly for it. Even now, with better rates, they can average only 75 cents for an eight-hour day at the most. Mexican labor is the poorest paid, and, next to the white labor, con- stitutes the largest body of workers in Texas. The pecan shelling in- dustry imposes especially bad con- Jobless Miners) Mass Before Relief Bureaus) Demonstrations Held in Pennsylvania Coal Districts SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. 22.—Un- employed workers throughout Northumberland County massed be- fore the local relief stations Friday demanding increased relief, issu- ance of winter clothing, payment of rents and endorsement of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill by the relief administrators. Demonstrations were held in three towns, Shamokin, Sunbury and Milton; and workers from Northumberland and Ranshaw| joining in the demonstrations at} Sunbury and Shamokin. In Shamokin, when Supervisor Moonéy refused to meet with the workers’ delegation, a picket line was established at the relief sta- tion and is being maintained until demands are met. A committee presented demands to Rev. Lehman, relief administrator, and forced en- dorsement of the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill, and won winter clothing and the promise of payment of rents. Work relief ad- ministrator Mann promised to up- hold the relief workers’ right to or- ganize and bargain collectively. In Sunbury, despite attempts of local politicians to disrupt the dem- onstration, the workers marched to the relief station while thousands lined the streets. One out of Four Jobless in the Country, Federal Committee Report States WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.— One out of every four wage earners in the country today are unem- ployed, Dr. Edwin E. Witte, execu- tive director of the Roosevelt Com- mittee on Economic Security, de- clared yesterday in a summary of data compiled by his staff. Unemployment and economic in- security for the wage earners is an inherent part of the social struc- ture, the report said, in urging a federal system of unemployment in- surance to provide benefit payments to the present unemployed. “Any program for economic se- curity must take into considera- tion the millions who are now un- employed or on relief,” the report said. “At any time any employed worker may become unemployed, and unless he secures employment within a comparatively short time is likely to become dependent upon public relief for support,” the re- port continued. Basing its studies partly upon the 1930 census, the report further said that millions of workers are un- employed even in times of “pros- ditions upon these workers. perity.” Veterans Plan Bonus March To Reach Capital Jan. 10; Will Place Three Demands WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—-The Veterans’ Rank and File Commit- tee has issued a call for all veter- ans to participate in a march which will reach Washington on Jan. 10. The decision was based on the reporis of committeemen, which indicate national suport for this Move as well as for the Three- Point Program adopted at the Rank and File Convention last May. The program calls for im- mediate payment of the balance due on Adjusted Compensation Cer- tificates, repeal of the Economy Act and passage of the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill. In reference to the action of the Disabled American Veterans in lay- ing aside the question of the bonus, ostensibly in the interest of the dis- abled, the committee stated that they considered this as a weaken- ing of the broader fight for bonus and veteran legislation. On the resolution of the Veterans of For- eign Wars for united action against the administration’s stand on bonus payment, it was stated that “only on the basis of all veterans’ or- ganizations uniting and adopting a common program without discrim- ination as to race, color or creed, organizational or political affilia- tions, can real united action be ef- fected.” The committee issued a warning that at its coming convention “The American Legion leadership will at- tempt to keep this issue off the floor. Whether a resolution for the payment of the balance due on the Adjusted Service Certificates is passed or not, unless a plan of ac- tion for carrying out such resolu- tions is adopted, the bonus question will again become a political foot- | week and stopped an eviction de- | scheduled mass evictions, and de- In Danville, Pa.

Book Store Burning Responsibility Laid At Goy. Olson’s Door) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 22.— Placing the responsibility for the vigilante attack on the Workers’ Bookstore at 6 South Third Street on October 16, when $300 worth of literature and $7 in cash were de- stroyed, squarely on the city author- ities of Minneapolis, the Communist Party of Minnesota in an open let- ter to Governor Floyd B. Olson. accused him of encouraging “the development of these fascist attacks on workers’ organizations.” The letter points out that the burning of the workers’ books is “a challenge to the entire labor move- ment of the State.” It demands that Olson “take the necessary measures to apprehend those re- sponsible for the organization of the raid and to prevent such raids in the future.” The letter shows how Olson’s slanders and attacks against the Communist Party encouraged the development of these attacks which are openly called for by the capi- talist press and the Citizens’ Alli- ance, the employers’ organization responsible for the murder of the striking truck drivers last summer. It calls on Olson to carry out his demagogic promises to protect the workers against fascist attacks. Spike Slander Charge on) Unemployment Councils InClairton, Pennsylvania GLAIRTON, Pa., Oct. 22—The Unemployment Council here has effectively stopped the slanderous attack of Mayor Ostermayer, pup- pet of the Carnegie Steel Company, who recently issued a vicious state- ment to the press charging the unemployed organization with “racketeering” in relief orders. Ostermayer spread the lie that the unemployed workers were pool- ing their milk orders and forcing contributions of 50 cents per order from local milk dealers favored by their patronage as a means of building a Council treasury. A delegation elected by the Un- employment Council called on the mayor and demanded that he pro- duce evidence to back up his charges or retract his libellous statement. Ostermayer declared that. he would answer later, but admitted that an investigation among the milk dealers had failed to produce any evidence to support his charges. He has since attempted to hush up the whole affair. Jobless of East Side Demonstrate Tomorrow At Assemblyman’s Home The Lower East Side Unemploy- ment Councils have called upon all workers to assemble at Rutgers Sq. tomorrow night at 7:30 o'clock for a mass march to the home of As- semblyman Samuel Mendelbaum, 1 Scammel St., to demand that he support the demand of the State Hunger March which will converge on Albany Oct. 31.

E. R. A. workers. The twenty-eight workers were scheduled to appear before Superior | Judge H. C. Speakman, but, in his | absence, appeared before Judge G.| A. Rodgers, who, indicating that. he | had no jurisdiction over the case, referred the arraignment to the Superior Judge on his return. Refusal of County Attorney Renz | L.

The Communist Party called an election rally on the court house steps, despite the refusal of the mayor and the board of supervisors to grant a permit and their threat to arrest all speakers. About 50 workers had gathered when the po- lice broke up the meeting and ar- rested five speakers. The crowd fol- lowed them to the police station and the cops, seeing this, decided it would be better to release the ar- rested workers. Everybody promptly went back to the court house steps and the meet- ing started again, this time with) about 100 people present. Again the police broke up the meeting, ar- resting the five speakers for the sec- ond time. And again the crowd marched with them to the pol station. The police, seeing the de-| termination of the crowd, decided to issue a permit for the meeting| and to release the arrested workers. An enthusiastic meeting was then held, the crowd by this time having grown to about 200 who responded warmly to the presentation of the Communist program in the election campaign. It was decided to hold another meeting on the court house steps Tuesday.

We could not have carried on during the strike without the help of the Daily Worker. There are more strikes developing every day. The Daily Worker can and will play an important role in every one of these struggles.
