Farmers, Ruined by
Banks, Must Unite
With City Workers
(By a Worker Correspondent)
OKLAHOMA CITY (By Mail).--
Most of you workers read the statement our "dearly beloved" Henry made last week after he had payed a visit to the boss-scab herder, Herbert Hoover. Henry said he was going to raise the wages of his workers to offset his part in the Wall Street crash.
Well, if we could judge by what has happened since then, it is very likely that if we had been able to listen in on the talk we might have heard another "statement"--something like this:
"Well, Herbie, I'm going to order all of my assembly plants shut down for the winter now."
"Why, that would make it look worse yet," Herb would reply.
"Just leave it to me." Henry says. "You know I've got most of the fool thinking I'm their Big Brother. I'll tell them I'm going t reassemble my assembly plants so we can g to work right."
These banks are all in the smaller towns of Oklahoma and are supported by the farmers, and it means this: Workers and farmers, foreclosing will be the order of the day. These farmers will be dispossessed, and then there will be only one place for them to go, and that will be to join the ever-growing army of unemployed--we already have something like 10,000 of them in Oklahoma City.
Every worker and farmer must understand once and for all that their interests are one and the same. Join the Communist Party, the only political party that fights your every day battles, the party of the workers and farmers, the party with program that will lead the overthrow of the robber system and will establish on its ruins the dictatorship of the proletariat,
Let us defend with our lives the fatherland of the workers and farmers, the U. S. S. R.
