A clash between ‘police and a large! number of workers occurred last night} when police. at- tempted to break up a demonstra- tion in front of the offices of the Communist newspaper L’Humanite where workers had gathered to hear the election returns. A number of workers were hurt by the police who swung their batons freely. Several workers were arrested earlier in the| day for posting placards issued by} the Communist Party.

Socialists Refuse to Protest Nicaragua War When representatives of the Work- ers’ Schoo! introduced a motion for a demonstration in Union Square against the invasion of Nicaragua by U. S. marines at the last students con- ference at the New School for Social Research, the Rand School delegation withdrew, it was learned yesterday. The Rand school is the official-school of the socialist party in this city. The Workers School resolution was de- feated by a vote of 16 to 22, ~ Twenty-five colleges and. -uni- versities were represented at the con- ference including Brookwood Labor College, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, New York University, Columbia, Hunter College and the College of the | Ben fects from their hazardous venture {on the uninhabited isle of Doedman- | no material damage in the two land- PARE la « munced by a Detroit newspaper, Capt.

Shipping cannot reach the island until the thaws set in about the middle of May. The fliers, therefore, will either have to fly here or wait until that time for a ship to bring them. Pees sea OSLO, Norway, April 23.—If, as some Artie explorers believe, a con- tinent exists at the North Pole, Capt. George H. Wilkins and Pilot Carl B. Eielson failed to find it on their dash by plane from Point Barrows, Alaska to Spitzbergen. Capt. Wilkins and the American aviator are at Green Harbor, Spitz- bergen. today where the former is assembling his data for a report tol the National Geographical Society of America, German Police Jail Red Front Fighters BERLIN, April 28.—Police inter- ference with a march of Red Front Fighters returning home from a meet- ing, resulted in a fracas and the nine month’ jail sentence for one of the militant workers. Others received sentences of three months apiece. The arrest of the Red Front Fighters is another incident in the police and fascist persecutions of the workers organizations in the Reich. FASCIST TORTURES MAY KILL WORKER VIENNA, April 23.—The workers recently arrested at Oradea have gone on a hunger strike in protest against their barbaric mistreatment, according to a telegram from the city. Doubt is expressed that Victor Tor- dai, the metal worker, will survive the terrible tortures inflicted on him during the three-day inquisition in which he was seriously injured. His condition is critical. The arrests of the workers were initiated by the Siguranza, the Ru- manian fascist organization whose activities are closely bound up with the “liberal” party of Bratianu. Heavy Storm Does New England Damage BOSTON, April 23. — New Eng- land today continued in the grip of a northeast storm, which tied up ship- ping, caused widespread damage to crops, resulted in automobile crashes which injured thirty persons and caused the wreck of two freight trains. Rain, hail, snow, and sleet fell. Sec- tions of New Hampshire were blanket- ed with snow. The wreck of the freight trains oc- NAVY MANEUVER DRAWS PROTEST Communists Cover Coast City With Stickers SAN FRANCISCO, April 23— Eighty warships and 30,000 men have sailed out of San Francisco Bay, after |a week’s stay.

S. marines were being rushed today to the Principulca district where Sandino troops raided the Bon- anza and Laluz gold mining camps These mines, both of which are owned by Americans, are about 70 miles | from Bluefields.

A copy was found in the archives of the police department. I is possible that this circular was by some obscure revolutionary circle or perhaps by some individual revolutionary working man: “To the People on May First! “In vain the Russian government) are the starting point for a new note | mocks ihe Russian people by impos- ing taxes and penalties, by crushing} their human rights, by reducing their} by maintaining} caste differences, by encouraging the| employers to reduce the wages of| their workers, and by every means} known to despotism. “All this is done in order that our people shall not be able to go beyond the limits of their serfdom, to pre- vent their overstepping these limits, | at least legally.
