The First of May is =| to be recognized as a holiday all other legal holidays ar One of the best comedies to reach Ameri Sovkino studios is ‘When Moscow Laughs.” The pic- ay life of a from the ture depicts the eve the worker in present day Moscow. The film will be shown for a period of four days, beginning today and continuing through Sunday at the 2nd Avenue Playhouse. On the same program will be shown the latest release of the Sov- | kino Journal. This is the weekly news reel released by the Sovkino people and shows the important events of the day in the USSR. An important item in the current re- lease is a scene on the religious sit- the Arthur “Rebound,” Donald Ogden Stewarts’ comedy now in its second month at the Ply- in Featured player Hopkins production of ployment agencies, picket lines and bread lines. “Answering the police attempt to work up a ‘bomb plot’ scare, the Communist Party reaffirms its pol- icy. It aims at the overthrow of capitalism, but this can only be achieved through united mass strug- gle of the working class and poor farmers. Individual terror only de- feats this purpose, and we are there- for against it. Only the mass action of the workers can wrest a realiza- tion of their demands. Forward to revolutionary mass action.” Attacking the fascist A. F. of L. and “socialist” leaders who unite with the police against the workers and for the bosses, the Communis‘) Party calls out: “Down with the so-| cial fascists of the A.

And when these workers protest and demon- strate he forgets “free” speech and “free” assemblage and gives them clubs and machine guns. The army of the unemployed is growing and the State Industrial Commission declares that the “pres- ent employment level will not rise for some time.” That is correct, for speed-up, the conveyor system and increasing hours are throwing hundreds of thousands of workers out of a job every year.

The young Negro worker will fight. He will fight shoulder to shoulder with the white workers who fight the capital- ist system.

Bigger Struggle to Come. | George Siskind, district secretary |of the Trade Union Unity League, |told of the call of the T.U.U.L. for jall New York workers, particularly |all members of the militant unions, affiliated with the T.U.U.L., to strike today and join the unemploy- ment demonstration in Union Sq. Siskind told of the rapid growth of the unemployed councils, organ- ized by the T.U.U.L., and of the necessity of binding together for a common struggle the workers on the jobs, and those crushed out of the jobs, neither being able to develop their full power without the other. He referred also to the still more important and more intense struggle to follow the day of world-wide demonstrations, particularly the need for active organization. | At the time The Daily Worker jwent to press, Otto Hall, Communist | |Party Negro organizer, M. Olgin, leditor of the Morning Freiheit, was speaking, and Robert Minor and William Z. Foster were waiting to speak, munists as the only leaders in their common fight. Terror Won't Terrify Police terror will not turn them from their struggle, Mr. Walker. On the contrary, they are learning that they face not “their” government, but a government of the capitalists, which hands the capitalists $160,- 000,000 in the form of tax reduc- tion, lets the workers starve, beats them up and gives them tear gas and machine guns when they dem- onstrate. The poor tenant and share cropping farmers of this coun- try are learning a similar lesson. The capitalist system is crumbling — it is in a crisis and the present economic crisis is shoving it further end in a huge demonstration just’ outside of London Tower, where a delegation of workers will visit the | Lord Mayor with the demands of | the unemployed. | An Esthonian soldier shot and seriously wounded General Toer- wand, chief of the Esthonian fren- eral staff, and killed Adjutant Ma- jor Ibros, during maneuvers which were called to prevent the mass: mobilization of the Esthonian un-, employed on March 6.

Forced by the demonstrations or- | ganized and led by the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League, the U. S. Senate has diseus- sed the critical unemployment situa: |tion. Hoover talks of an “unemploy- ment conference.” What was the conference in November, Mr. Hoo- ver? We know it laid the basis for a fascist dictatorship in the U. S.; it was a war council; but it masked itself as an unemployment confer- ence. Another purpose was to launch a vicious offensive against the American workers as a whole. The workers of the country see |through the capitalist schemes -- the unemployed workers, the part- \time workers—of whom there are | millions unable t emake ends meet— ‘and the employed workers who are being driven like machines. That is jwhy they are turning to the Com downhill. The only remedy the api- talists have is to starve elub the unemployed, drive the toyed. engage in imperialist dits in Central America, and ak upon an imperialist war agaf, st the So- viet Union, the workers’ fatherland. The answer of the workers of this country and city is: We will demonstrate today, in spite of all police terror and mobili- zation of capitalist weapons of war. We will put forth our demands: Work or unemployment insurance; No eviction of the unemploye Food and clothing for working class children; Full rates for part-time workers; Seven hour day, five day week; No speed-up; Increase in wages; Against imperialist war; For defense of the Soviet Union. These are the demands and needs of ALL workers, and today at one o'clock, at Union Square, tens of thousands of unemployed workers and employed workers who will down tools at 12 o'clock, will voice these demands under the leadership of the Communist Party. i ‘this voice will be heard! ¥ b him to represent them in the senate 100 DRESS SHOP GIRLS ON STRIKE \Industrial Union Calls All to Demonstrate A hundred workers, the crew in the big Wasserman & Kabek dress shop, are on strike under the leader- ship of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. These workers are mostly young girls, and they have been ruthlessly exploited by a boss who pays $10, $12, or $15 a week. During the fake strike of the Inter- national Ladies Garment Workers, a@ gang of thugs from this company union came to the shop, and the boss handed them $200, after which they disappeared and let it run as an open shop. Strike Starts “When the N T W I U organiz- ing committee came in, the boss, thinking he knew all about unions, offered them money too. They re fused it immediately, and the girls, seeing which was a union and which was not, walked out on strike, and came down to the N T WI U office te join the union. trial Union calls all its members and all needle trades workers to strike at noon today, and to come at once to the offices of the union, 131 W. to Union Square and the unemploy- ment demonstration.
