-Hungary and Roumania. ae { DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 192 REVOLUTION ON THE ORDER OF THE: DAY AS WORKERS AND FASCISTS PREPARE FOR ARMED STRUGGLE (Wireless By Imprecorr) VIENNA, Nov. 5.—N-zotiations are going on in the Labor Chambe veonceri.:ng settlement of the Stock- erau struggle. The participants are vepresentat'ves of the reformist Metal Workers’ Unicon and the Christian trade union. The social democrats have no objection to the reinstatement of the three fascists ejected by the Haid ,!ant workers, the three being members of the Christian trade union. This is a continuation of the socialist tactics aiming at c-operation with the Christian, nationalist and other bourgeois trade unions, An emergency national confer- ence of the Austrian Communist 2 Party was held on Nov. It was pointed out that the Stock- erau events prove the impossibility of a peaceful solution of the Aus- trian crisis, in spite of the coopera- tion of the ~ :ial “democratic” fas- cists in establishing a fascist dic- tatorship. The revolutionary upsurge of the working masses was noted as too advanced for the crisis to be solved by means of negotiations. The crisis is nearing its culmination and the Austrian siiuation is immedi- ately rev” ‘onary. The struggle against the fascist dictator: already a struggle for power. It is the duty of the Communist Party to lead a bold and aggressive fight for power, TUUL, NTW SCORE FASCIST TERROR Demand Hungarian, Rumanian Amnesty (Continued from Page One) intensify the persecution of the best champion of the tIalian proletariat. Thousands of political prisoners are in the same condition as comrade Terracini, If the world proletariat does not act in time, our comrades, courageous leaders of the proletar- iat revoiution, will meet with the fate that has doomed Sozzi, Riva and hundreds of others who died as a result of the tortures inflicted upon them. The Anti-fascist Alli- ance of North America calls upon all the workers of the United States to protest against fascism and to prevent the slow but sure assassina- tion of our comrades. “The mass meeting which will be held on Nov. 10, in Webster Hall. 139 East 11th St., will mark the heginning of a wide agitation for the immediate liberation of these political prisoners for the abolition of the “Special Tribunal” and for the abroation of all extraordinary laws against the. Italian working class. The Trade Union Unity League has issued the following statement denouncing the terror in Hungary, Roumania, and other fascist coun- tries: “Matiyas Rakosi and other brave Communist leaders, who dared to continue working for the emancipa- tion of the Hungarian workers in spite of the fascist regime of Horthy and his hangmen, are being tortured to death in the capitalist hellholes in The same thing is taking place in Poland, Italy and in many other imperialist countries. Leaders of the militant working class movement are being murdered or sent to prison for the rest of their lives, in order to pre- vent the rising revolutionary onward march of the working class. Unions Illegal. “Militant trade unions are being declared illegal with long prison sen- tences for those workers who have enough courage to stand up against the war mongers of the imperialist system of rationalization and ex- ploitation. Our comrades in Hun- gary are dying in prison not from natural causes and not to our opin- ion simply from results of the hun- ger strike, but from the torture and beatings rained upon them by Horthy and his hangmen. “The Trade Union Unity League calls upon the workers and members of the militant trade union move-| ment and further calls upon those militant rank and file workers in the American Federation of Labor, who are being mislead by the bur- eaucrats, to show militant trade union solidarity with our comrades in Hungary and Roumania by or- ganizing the masses of the workers in workers’ organizations to demon- strate and to protest against this bloody regime of fascism, “Down with world imperialism!

This fact, coupled with the miners having forced the reformist leaders to call a one-day protest strike at the non- fulfilment of wage demanis, show that the militancy of Polish workers is escaping from the control of the ist leaders. POLISH MINERS SHOW SPIRIT (Wireless by Inprecorr) WARSAW, Nov. 5—Under pres- sure from the membership the trade union cf miners has convened at Kitovatz, a delegate conference of three Polish coal districts. The con- ference resolved on a one-day pro- test strike against the non-fulfill- ment of the orkers’ demand. The upper Silesian miners have joined | the strike. RAMSAY'S TRIP NOT FOR PEACE Admits No Claims of Empire Surrendered LONDON, Nov. 5.—MacDonald today reported on his American trip, causing a stir among the con- servatives when he said, “I went to America, not as a party leader but as a national representative.” Bald- win agreed with this, and announced that “a deep debt of gratitude” was due MacDonald for his services to British imperialism adding eryptical- ly, doubtless with a view to the com- ing war with America, that “Anglo- American negotiations are above party consideration.” Although he made much of the joint declaration he signed with Hoover, that war between U. S. and England is “unthinkable” and spoke vaguely of some naval arrangement which the world has been deluded into thinking was a “reduction,” when asked pointedly if he had com- mitted Great Britain to any particu- lar position as to the coming five- power naval conference, MacDonald shook his head. To other questions, MacDonald re- plied that he had made no commit- ment with respect to “belligerent rights” of Britain to rule the seas “beyond .a promise to consider the matter.” He said that the question of general disarmament “was not raised” with Hoover, and added that everything with reference to the five-power conference would be done only after consultation with the “proper experts”—which means that the naval commanders of Britain will aid the “labor” government in its policy of protecting imperialist interests.
