Vancouver, B.C., July 5, 1935
CANADA’S HAYMARKET

The hands of Bennett and his fellow mil-
lionaire exploiters are again dripping with
the blood of workers, even before the blood of
the murdered Estevan miners was dry.

Bennett has made good some of his prom-
ises—his promises to institute a new relgu
of terror. And he picked a fitting day for it,
the capitalist holiday, Dominion Day, to stage
his Canadian Haymarket riot.

Not content with the murderous attack
upon unarmed workers and citizens during
the course of a peaceful meeting in Regina,
he is following it up by wholesale arrests of
the victims of the police attacks who de-
fended their lives by whatever meagre meals
were available, and by efforts to fasten the
guilt for the death of the mercenary tool of
the capitalist State upon his victims. He
wauts to dangle some Canadian working class
bodies from the gallows as the Haymarket
martyrs, Parsons, Speis and their comrades
were crucified. He wants the shades of the
murdered miners of Estevan to have com-
pany, in order to strike terror into the hearts
of the workers who refuse his abominable
forced labor camps and struggle against his
infamous program of hunger, misery and
starvation.

There were some naive folk who said that
such things as the Regina attack upon the
workers could happen in Fascist Italy and in
Hitler’s Germany, but could never happen in
“democratic” Canada. These people are dis-

illusioned now, as are the workers of Van-
ecouver who witnessed the butchery of men,
women and children in Vancouver on Bloody

Tuesday by the brutal minions of McGeer,
Pattullo and Bennett.

The tragic events in Regina which were
launched by Bennett did not bring the re-
action he sought. He had hoped that his
vicious Red-baiting and hysterical Red scares
had alarmed the public, and in the hysteria
thus artificially created his ruthless action
would be favorably received, and he would
be acclaimed as the Strong Man so badly
needed in the hour of danger from Commu-
nist “revolution and disorder.”

But with his characteristic egotistical stu-
pidity he misjudged the outcome; and now
that he is showered with imprecations and
denunciations from the overwhelming ma-
jority of the population, he sniffles and
whines in the House of Commons and tries
to place the blame on MceGeer and Gardiner,
while repeating his boasts that he will main-
tain “law and order’ — in the manner he
maintained it in Regina.

The people of Canada are aroused to the
common danger and condemn the program
and actions of Bennett and his parasite
crowd. They must now organize and unitedly
fight all that the old reactionary would-be
Canadian Hitler represents, and repulse the
rapid advance to Fascism.

The brunt of the struggle against fascist
forced labor camps has been borne by the
heroic Slave Camp boys. They have been
the spearhead against the advance to even
worse conditions being imposed upon them.

The brutal, arrogant, dictatorial Bennett
and his entire parasite breed must feel the
weight of mass resistance against his whole
fascist program of terror.

The answer to the Bennett terror is not in
abandoning the struggle, but in intensifying
it a hundred-fold, in greater organization,
in closing the ranks of labor, and mobilizing
all people who detest Fascism into a solid,
militant, determined united front of struggle
against it.

McGEER’S “INDIGNATIOCN’”’

Attorney-General Roebuck of Ontario
eharged the riotous police attack upon the
Relief Camp marchers and citizens in Regina
was “planned” by Bennett, and that respon-
sibility for the resulting slaughter rested
upon Bennett’s shoulders.

And Gerry McGeer, Mayor of Vancouver,
stated that “the ‘blood that has already
flowed, and will flow again, will forever re-
main on the head-of the Prime Minister of
Canada.”

No one will dispute the iruth of these
statements made by two ambitious capitalisr
politicians who are using the political blun-
der of Bennett’s savagery to advance their
own political fortunes and those of the cor-
rupt Liberal Party to which they belong.

We would like to add to the statement of
MecGeer that the blood that flowed on Bloody
Tuesday in the vicinity of Ballantyne Pier
will forever remain on the head of Gerry Mc-
Geer, as well as on the heads of Bennett and
Pattullo, for the uniformed agents of death
and destruction on that day were the police
of McGeer as well as those of the provincial
and federal governments.

me McGeer is merely taking advantage of the
“parbarity of Bennett for political reasons and
to divert attention from his own terrorist
actions against the longshoremen and Citi-
zens in the interest of the ruthless Shipping
Pederation.

His holy indignation will fool no one; and
the aroused and united working people, when
hurling back the fascist capitalist offensive,
will properly include McGeer with Bennett,
et al, among Canada’s public enemies and
treat him accordingly.

THE canapian woRKERS | BENNETT IS INSTIGATOR OF VIOLENCE, BLOODSHEL

On the First of July the Canadian capital: |

ists celebrated the 68th anniversary of Con-
federation. On this date in the year 1867 the
capitalist politicians of the time signed the
British North America Act, the Constitution

of Canada. Every year since 1867 the first}

of July has been set aside as a national holi-
day on which the people are supposed to joy-
fully celebrate the coming of Canada to na-
tionhood. to celebrate the glorious democracy
that was supposed to have been ushered in
on that date.

In Regina, Saskatchewan, the first of July
was not celebrated as a national holiday. How
eould the two thousand young unemployed
workers celebrate capitalist “democracy —
when for nearly three months they had been
living under a threat of bloody suppression
of their strike against being forced by a
“democratic” government to labor in the iso-
lation of relief camps without pay?

In Regina on the first of July these two
thousand young workers, their funds ex-
hausted, were facing starvation. Their peace-
ful open-air meeting in the market square
was broken up by the police forces of the
“democratic” government; the threat of
bloody suppression became a bloody reality.

Regina was originally named “Pile of
Bones.” On the first of July its market place
held a pile of wounded workers, shot down
in a cold-blooded White Terror of the Cana-
dian capitalist class.

All honor to these wounded heroes, these
martyrs of the Class Struggle in Canada!
All working class hatred to the capitalist
class and their murderous hirelings who
brought injury and pain to them!

For many years to come workers passing
the Regina market place will bare their heads
in honored tribute to their comrades so foully
clubbed, gassed and maimed. On every first
of July for many years to come the workers
throughout Canada will remember both the
victims and those who attacked them. In
working class history R. B. Bennett, spokes-
man for the Canadian capitalist class will be
denounced as “Bloody Bennett.”

No more fitting tribute to the injured
young workers could be written than the
tribute Karl Marx paid to the victims of the
French capitalist class at the time of the

Paris Commune:

“Tts martyrs are enshrined in the great
heart of the working class. Its extermina-
tors,—history has already. nailed to that
eternal pillory from which all the prayers
of their priests will not avail te redeem
them.”’”—F.B.:

“SCURRILOUS ATTACKS”

When appealed to to form a united front
with the Communists in order to effectively
resist the attacks of the capitalists against
the working people, Woodsworth frequently
accuses the Communists of making “Scurri-
lous attacks” upon C.C.F.. leaders. Of course
the charge is untrue. What the Communists
do is to criticize and expose the anti-working-
class actions of the C.C.F. leaders. This to
Woodsworth is lese majeste.

But what will Woodsworth have to say re-
garding the White-Guardist action of Heaps
in seeking the assistance of capitalist law to
bar Tim Buck as a candidate and ensure his
(Heap’s) election?

What does Woodsworth say to the dirty
lies and slander of Heaps who stated that the
GCommunists had a campaign fund of $25,000
to $30,000 in North Winnipes to elect Buck
and that he (Heaps) “did not know where
the money was coming from’?

This is the sly way Heaps adopts to revive
the old “Moscow gold” charge. Is this a
“scurrilous charge,” Mr. Woodsworth ?

Heaps is the man who called the police in
Windsor and had workers sent to prison for
terms up to 18 months. Heaps is the man
who was responsible for the police effort to
smash an organization of foreign-born work-
ers. And this is the proyocateur who has the
impudence to call himself a representative
of labor and to ask the workers of North
Winnipeg to return him to the House of
Commons as their representative instead of
a man like Tim Buck.

Knowing that he is due for a licking by
Buck, he is asking a capitalist government
to come to his assistance and invoke Section
98 of the Criminal Code to bar Communists

The following statement and appeal on the
| struggle of the Relief Camp Workers by the
| Communist Party has been received for publi-

cation:
The Central Committee of the Communist
Party of Canada cnuce again calls upon the com-
| mon people of Canada, upon the C.C.F.. the trade
unions and all jabor and pros ive erganiza—
tions to rally bebind the relief camp strikers on
their trek to QOttaywa.- i

The Bennett Government is preparing a bloody
provocation against the trekke It is trying to
portray the march on Ottawa as a revolutionary
movement to overthrow the Government. This
is 4A dasiardiy attempt to becloud the issues raised
by the trelikers, to alienate public sympathy
from them, to prepare the ground for violence
apainst the trekkers and suppression of the Jabor
movement and to have Bennett parade, at the
jiead of the R:-C_M:-P. and militia, as the ~de-
liverer’ of Ganada from the “red menace.”

Bennett is preparing to Strike a sharp fascist
blow against the people of Canada. The wave of
reaction is already ragine= in British Columbia
where the Liberal, provincial and city authorities
with the help of fascist Citizens’ Committees and
in co-erdination with the Wederal authorities,
are engased in smashing unionism and applying
Section $8 against striking workers and labor
organizations. .

The Conservative Government, the overnment

of the multi-millionaire Bennett—who is per-
sonally connected with the highest cireles of
finance-capital in Canada, who is the second

larfest shareholder in the Royal Bank which
exploits and tries to drowm in blood the peasants
of Cuba, who is a rabid war-monger and is pre-

monstrous provocation against the relief camp
strikers, against the youth and workers of
Canada,

Bennett is mobilizing all armed forces ot
Ganada to smash the trek. Bennett is preparing
to apply the “iron heel’ of fascist terror with
the sreatest ferocity against the labor move-
ment. Bennett has announced that union com-—
mittees are “soviets’’ which he will not tolerate.
He has announced his intention to further sup-
press the Communist Party and to iniprison
jabor leaders. He is calling for ‘‘citizens’ support”
—forthe organization of fascist bands against the
workers. ;

Rally in the struggle to retain the last vestiges
of democratic rights! Rally to the defense of the
relief camp Strikers! Rally to the defense of the
Communist Party from the sharp onward rush
ef reaction! The united front of the working
class, the united action of the common people is
imperative in Canada to defeat this usly menace,
eyen as the common front of the Wrench people
defeated the attempts of the financiers to set up
a fascist dictatorship there.

Bennett has proclaimed his determination to
continue the policy of starvation and terror for
the masses of Canadian people. The legislation
rushed through Parliament within the last month
is all lesislation which serves the interests of
jhe financiers and millionaires of Canada at the
expense of the people. This legislation and the
provocation against the trekkers give the direct
lie to his flaunted radio statements about “‘nail-
ine the flag of progress to the masthead’ and
about ‘‘reforms.”’

Bennett stands exposed as the representative
of the most vicious circles of finance capital de-

eism. A Fascist attacking Fas-
cim may seem rather contradictory,
but this is only a manoeuvre. Mac-
Innis talks just as much Fascism as
ever but he is trying to cover it
up under the word Democracy.

The line he took in this speech
was that there was nothing to
choose between a Fascist and Com-
munist dictatorship, and that be-
tween the two was the road of
democracy. Tf MacInnis does not
know more about Fascism than he
does about Communism and the dic-
tatorship of the proletariat his
ignorance of things political is most
profound.

Fascism is the dictatorship of the
capitalist class over the great ma-
jority of the population, the workers
and poor farmers. There is no op-
tion of choice between what Mac-
Innis calls democracy and Fascism,
because Fascism in all countries
where it at present obtains arose
out of capitalist democracy, out of
the parliamentary form of sgovern-
ment and all the heavenly blessings
its upholders say it brings. The
Capitalist class when théir demo-
eracy has been exposed to the
masses and rendered useless as a
“means to hoodwink them, throw
aside the mask of democracy and
resorts to governing by means of
naked force and terrorism. This is
Fascisni.

Freedom for Whom?

Communist dictatorship? There
isn’t any, anywhere. In the Soviet
Union there is a dictatorship of the
ereat majority of the population, the
workers and farmers, over the few
remnants of the exploiting class
that remain in the country.

MacInnis said there is no freedom
of the press, no freedom of as-

Soviet Union. “Production of com-
bines is the first four months of
1935 was more than eight times
as great aS in the same period of
the previous year. The steady im-
provement m agriculture and in-
dustry which has been especially
marked in the past two years is
now paralleled for the first time
by a similar rise in the output of
consumers’ goods. Light industry
expanded its production by 17 per
cent for the first quarter of 1935,
and the turnover of the state and
co-operative stores rose by one-
third. Food prices im the cities
are approximately half what they
weer a year ago, and consumption
has inereased accordingly. Need-
less to say,’ concludes The Na-
tion, “NONE OF THESE FACTS

he bad added “for the capitalist
class,’ he would haye been correct.
There is freedom there only for a
working class press and working
elass assembly. This is how the dic-
tatorship of the proletariat works, a
hundred percent in the interests of
the workers alone. :
A Temporary Condition

The capitalists want their dicta-
torship over the workers and farm-
ers to last forever. The dictator-
ship of the proletariat is a tempor-

REAL SOLIDARITY

The decision of the longshoremen of U.S.
Pacific ports to refuse to handle cargo loaded
in British Columbia ports by scabs is as en-
couraging to the B.C. longshoremen as it is
disheartening to the Shipping Federation and
its tools; and shows the splendid class spirit
of the U.S. workers who took this splendid
stand.

The employers have long been able to take
advantage of the lack of International unity
of the workers to use one group against ano-
ther to defeat the workers’ strikes.

The action of the U.S. workers is in strik-
ing contrast to the disgraceful “neutral” atti-
tude of the reactionary labor bureaucrats of
the Trades and Labor Council in Vancouver,
who profess to be unaware of the fact that
the striking longshoremen are fighting to
preserve all unions in British Columbia and
elsewhere.

Dominion Day parade.

This is the second attempt made
in Vancouver to put on a parade
that would be “bigger and better’’
than the one the workers staged on
International Labor Day, May ist,
and this latest attempt was as big
a flop as the doings on June 6th.

Well Spaced Out

The May Day parade of the work-
ers took 50 minutes to pass a given
point, and the ranks were closely
packed. Gerry’s parade took less
than twenty minutes to pass a given
point, and it took that lone because
the bunches participating were well
spaced ou, in some cases a half
block apart.

But it was a demonstration of
State force—the kind used to club
peaceful strikers and citizens in Re-
gina, the kind that murdered three
miners in Estevan, Sask., in 1931.

Everything on foot had a uni-
form on of some description, and for
most of them it was one of the tasks
by which they get their eats,

A fly in the oinment, a_hair in the

parade of a large organized boc
of working-class women of the long-
shoremen’s Auxiliary bearing ban-
ners with slogans inscribed on them,
slogans such as: “Locked Qut, Not
On Strike,” “Money tor Parades but
Ba for Mungry Babies” (this last
bau reference to the City Council’s
refusal to feed the hungry babies
of striking longshoremen and sea-
men). Their appearance brought the
only enthusiastic cheering of the
whole business. This welcome by the
onlookers, as well as the presence
of the women, was about as funny
to Gerry as a cinder in his eye.

(A MODERN SOLILOQUY)
By K. C. JONES

“How cold the night is! What
deathly chill, what penetrating ici-
ness there is in the frosty breeze of
political adversity! Why, ob why,
have the people of this fair city, the
city of destiny, turned cold shoulders
to my brain children, the Baby
Bonds?” (Draws his mantle of civic
dignity closer about him). “After all,
T am not as other men are. I am
different; I am an extraordinary
man. Didn’t 35,000 people say so at
the polls on election day? I said
then that I would hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they would. I
have not exactly hewed, but why
should I when I can get others to
do it for me? My role is that of
Leadership, the ‘I Am’ sort of Lead-
ership. My duty it is to point the
way. Perhaps, though, I have not
done enough pointing; it may well be
that I have talled too much. But
what is this! Is it really IT who am
letting my thoughts run alongs in
this dreary self-criticism? Bah! (Goes
to the buffet and pours out and
eulps down a stiff snort of rum).
“There! What great gift the gods
have given us in the juice of the
sugar-cane! Tf feel a new man al-
ready. What was I talking about?
Qh, yes, the chips. The chips? Ce-

eft and pours out and gulps another
stiff snort of rum). “I do not and
cannot recognize the leadership of
Pattullo. He is not strong enough.
I do not and cannot recognize the
leadership of Bennett. He is too
weak. When I get to Ottawa I will
show the world a sample of a Strong

better look before I leap so far? Six
short months ago it seemed as if I
were already making impressive
speeches on the floor of the House

ceeding. The rabble of relief camp
