THE DAILY WORKER, Austen Chamberlain ) BRATIANU KNEW POGROMS WOULD COME, IS CHARGE 30 More Injured During New Outrages at Jassy BUCHAREST, Dee. 11. the outbreak of a new Jassy at which thirty more victims were injured by armed bands of Ru- manian students, the municipal coun- cil of Cluj, has officially declared that it is not responsible for the recent pogrom and that it had given the Ru- manian government adequate warn- ing for it to have taken all précau- tionary measures neec This statement substantiates the charges recently made that the government is inciting the student pogroms. . The attack at Jassy broke out dur- ing a demonstration of several hun- dred Rumanian students, who terri- fied the Jews and succeeded in wreck- 4 ing several Jewish restaurants and a }' synagogue before the police could or would restore order. Troops have been ordered®to the Jassy and are patrolling all streets. Thruout Rumania, Jewish stores, restaurants and synagogues are being closed and the doors and windows barred in fear of fresh outbreaks. In the border towns, large processions of refugees are stated to be in full flight towards the Hungarian frontier. * * & Brand Bratianu “Plot.” BUCHAREST, Dec.| 11. — The Bratianu government is being bitterly denounced for its alleged part in fomenting the pogroms in Oradia Mare, Cluj, Jassy and other towns. Juliu Maniu, leader of the National Peasant Party which is fighting the Bratianu regime in an attempt to re- store Carol to the Rumanian Throne, has branded the government for per- mitting the Transylvanian outrages. It is understood that the attack on the Transylvanian Jews is an attempt on the part of the present regime to draw attention from the unstable con- dition of the country by bribing the students to attack the Jews.

One need only glance through the August daily press for ay day of that month to see that this is downright lies. There were days when even the sdcial-democratic paper “Nepszava” reported a far greater number of strikes than the Trade Union Council réports for the whole month. As is well known, at a few gigantic plants in Budapest alone, there were 18,000 metal workers on strike for at least -three weeks, and some for more than 4 weeks. - Why does the Trade Union Council lie? Why does it attempt to under- rate the dimensions of the struggle? The struggle of the workers in Hungarian heavy industry carried through with such admirable deter- mination and firmness is the greatest Struggle which any fasgist country has ever yet passed through. And while it has great international sig- nificance, it is still more significant for Hungary. The workers, during a long period of years awed by the social-democrats and kept by them from any action, started this struggle against the will of the social democrats, and achieved, if not full, at least great successes in spite of the obstinate resistance of ‘| the capitalists, This naturally deepens and intensifies the workers’ clags- -consciousness.

In their endeavors to minimize the significance of the struggle, the so- cial-democrats march hand in hand with Count Bethlen who stated that during the strike matters were carried on just as in any other econ- omic conflict, which had not political significance at all.
