Over 1,000 Witness 75 Participants DETROIT, June 1.—The Detroit Labor Sports Union track and field meet held Sunday, May 27 at Loon Lake proved to be one of the most successful meets held by worker athletes in this city. Seventy-five athletes participated in the many events on the program. In spite of the fact that the weather was unusually cold for this time of the year, over)— 1,000 spectators turned out to wetch the athletes perform. The 100 yard dash was one of the most exciting events on the program. H. Lindquist, of the Scandinavian A. C. won this event with J. Koski of the Voima A. C. only three feet behind. The winners of the other.events were Geo. Toyryla, R. Lonn, and A. Wilima. In a well-played baseball game, the members of the Voima_ proved superior to the team from the Yemas A. C. by a score of 10 to 9. Plans are being made to hold, an- other meet soon, and the Detroit La- bor Sports Union is planning to send about six or more athletes to New York to take part in the national meet of the Labor Sports Union.

Some of the wounded are in a critical condition. Nine members of the gendarmerie were also injured. The order to fire at the first sign of new outbreaks was isgued by Min- ister of Interior Korosee to all police and troops yesterday. The govern- ment is alarmed by the proportions which the disturbances. against the signing of the hated treaty have as- sumed and fears that the discontent of the workers and peasants may cause a general outbreak against the state. Preparations for street fight- ing are being rushed. Belgrade looks like a besieged city with the sidewalks torn up and the streets obstructed with debris after the bloody fight between the students and police. The battle lasted from eight o’clock in the evening until day- light. Wild scenes took place also in the skupchina, or national assembly, fol- lowing the reading of a writ issued by the minister of defense, General Had- zitt. Shouts of “Down with the blood- stained governmental murderers,” were heard from all parts of the chamber. The shouts of “Down with the murderers,” and the banging of desks lasted for more than an hour. Following the demand of the Peas- ant bloc for the resignation of the ministry, the session was adjourned. No further session is contemplated immediately.

Last week’s issue contains an especially nauseous column, headed “Communism from Within.” It is a concoction of clap-trap deceiving no one except, perhaps, a few of the very few remaining leaders of the New Leader. The article states that the New Leader has not found it neces- sary. to devote much of its space to the Communists, “so insignificant has been their progress.” This is stated in all seriousness altho to even casual observers, such a statement must ap- pear a_joke. In Philadelphia on May Day, two demonstrations of workers were held. One was under the auspices of the “socialist” party in a large, centrally located hall. Speakers were sent down from New York to address the meeting or May Day “demonstration.” And how many workers showed up after being given free tickets, coaxed and bamboozled? Exactly 150, one- tenth of the capacity of the audi- torium. Such is the significance of the “socialist” party and its organ, the New Leader, in Philadelphia, as well as thruout the country. . Now as to the insignificance of the progress of the Communists. On the same day, May 1, in the same city, Philadelphia, a Communist demon- stration was held. Only one hall was available, and that one not conven iently located, with a capacity of 1 700. No tickets were issued free. The hall was packed to the doors an: 00 | many workers had to be turned away for lack of space, Furthermore, the demonstration was one of great proletarian enthusi- asm, such as does not exist within the ranks of “socialism,” which is to- Once Almost Savage During the years of disintegration} and suffering in Soviet Russia, dur- ing the war, and while the workers and peasants were re-building indus- try, hundreds of orphan children took to the forests and got their food by brigandage. The Soviet government has spent hundreds of thousands of rubles to provide state homes for these unfortunate victims of a perishing capitalism. In the homes they are taught trades. One of the “wild chil- dren” is shown learning blacksmith- ing. Blame Mussolini For Loss of the Nobile BERLIN, June 1.—Italian scientific circles blame Premier Mussolini, of Italy, for “forcing the Nobile désas- ter through his rejection of the aid of international experts,” German newspapers reported today. Norwegian newspapers take the same attitude, claiming that Premier Mussolini is ignorant of Arctic con- ditions and the perils which attend exploration in that desolate zone. PROPAGANDIST TRAVELS. TEGUCIGALPA, Hontluras, June 1. —tThe Canadian trade commissioner, Wylde, has arrived in Tegucigalpa on part of a propaganda trip he is mak- ing thruout Latin-American countries. The purpose of his journey is to in- erease Canadian trade. day nothing but a petty bourgeois third capitalist party. In the article, “Communism from Within,” are alleged extracts from minutes of a committee of the Work- ers Party in New York City. In one of these minutes the In- ternational Labor Defense is men- tioned. So the editor of the New Leader has seen fit to insert a note explaining that the I. L. D. is a Com- munist organization. However, the editor of the New Leader and Amer- ican Appeal, founded by Eugene V. Debs, while permitting the name of Debs to be used on the front page as one of the founders, has not seen fit to explain to his readers the ac- tivity of Debs in the founding and the work of the I.L.D. —C.

At Capetown CAPETOWN, South Africa, June |1. — Government police yesterday AFRICAN POLICE TRAMPLE NEGRO DEMONSTRATORS Arrest Two. Unionists | charged a procession of several hun- dred Negro workers carrying banners which called to the South African Negroes to end their slavery. Many were seriously injured. Two arrests | were made after the charge. | The police raid followed the pro-| cession of members of the Inde-| pendent Negro Workers’ Union which | was parading thru Capetown preceded | by their organization band. Many of the demonstrators carried flags and placards with such inscriptions as “Africans Arise!” “Away with Slavery!” and others. Along the line of march many South African nationals booed and at- tempted to interfere with the march- ing Negro workers. A number of stones and other missiles were flung. Then the police made theirecharge trampling the demonstrators, and beating them with their clubs. The exact number of those injured is not known as many fled down the side streets to escape the horses’ hoofs. Feeling among Negro and white workers here is intense as a result of of the police attack and the author- ities are understood to be taking prompt measures to prevent any out- break especially among the Negroes. SPANISH FASCIST APES MUSSOLINI Will Reorganize the Government MADRID, June 1.—The Spanish government is to be reorganized with a National Conference Com- mittee similar to the fascist grand council in Italy, it was learned to- day.
