The article then lets loose a wild anti-Soviet tirade and declares that “liberty of conscience” has been suppressed in the Soviet} Union, that “a wild terrorization of religious life” has commenced, that “the idea of ideological tolerance has been completely abandoned,” and that | a system of darkest coercion has| been introduced in an attempt to! resuscitate the middle ages. The “Vorwaerts” writes: “The so- cialist working class wants to have nothing to do with it, It owes not a little thanks to the destruction of the mediaeval world “for the fact that it could rise politically, and it has no desire to see the path to fur-| ther victories closed by a vile cor- ruption of its free ideology. It is a Revolutionary Upsurge Growing in Spain MADRID, March 6.—The succes-, sor of Primo de Rivera, General Berenguer; is very far from com- manding the situation. The move- ment of the © petty - bourgeoisie against the dictatorship under the leadership of the university students | and professors is growing.

Pat De-| vine, district organizer of the Com- inunist Party in Pittsburgh, was lifted on the shoulders of the work- ers upon a stone wall on the side of the Penn railroad rotunda, He spoke for twenty minutes and was repeat- edly cheered as he flayed Mellon rule and urged militancy on the part of the jobless in making demands for relief. Devine was followed by John Kas- par, Pittsburgh T, U. U. L. secre- tary. Following a prearranged plan with police contingents, thugs first attacked the front line marchers who fought back in self defense. The entire police force was mobilized against the demonstration by the Mellon administration. Police were armed with night sticks, machine guns, tear gas bombs and were reinforced by scores of private dicks of thé Pennsylvania Railroad. Firemen stationed at City County building had attached hose sto hydrants with the order to turn the water on full force if the dera- onstrators attempted to enter the building with their demands. Three thousand five hundred worl- ers participated in the demonstration at Westinghouse ‘Electric, East Pittsburgh, where John Otis, secre- tary of the T. U. U. L. in Pitts. burgh, spoke. Three workers had been arrested there the night before distributing leaflets. Hundreds of private police were mobilized at all Zuustrial plants, including Jones & Laughlin, Westinghouse, Carnegie Steel and others. The Communist Party issued a statement denouncing the brutal at- tack upon the demonstration by po- lice. It declared that a protest dem- onstration would be held very soon.

In spite of all efforts of the po- lice, thousands of workers marched down Broadway. Among them were groups of young workers who sang revolutionary songs all the way. Workers from the demonstrations and huge throngs from downtown New York gathered around the City Hall Square, which by 3 p. m jlooked like a military encampment, patrolmen every ten feet around the railing, all entrances blocked by horsemen or armored motorcycle squads, and troops of police on horse and foot stationed inside. The crowd refused to disperse though the police rode on the sidewalks with their horses. Whalen was seen by reporters to throw a cat-fit when he saw the parade starting, and to send the bomb squad out to get Foster, Am- ter, Minor, and the other members jof the committee to the mayor, “dead or alive.” However, this committee appeared about 3:30 in city hall park, forced its way past the police and started up the city hall steps to the mayor's office. On the steps squads of police pounced on them and arrested them. Be- sides the three above named, com- mitteemen Joseph Lester and Harry Raymond were arrested here. The mayor gives his answer to the unemployed. Their elected dele- gates to him are jailed, and charged with “incitement to riot,” “assault in the second degree,” and. “con- spiracy.” Sam Darcy, chairman of the meeting, was arrested later and is held on the same charges.

The crowd refused to disperse, and continued circling the city hall in numbers that are estimated as about 20,000 for an hour more. After many had gone away, some 500 who happened to see the police dragging an old man across the Bowery made a dash to release him. Over 60 police charged into the crowd, clubbed all they could reach, and threw many d6éwn the subway entrances, At 5 p. m, there were still several thousand unemployed, striking work- ers and others silently protesting police brutality and starvation of the unemployed by parading around the sidewalks around city hall park. v Several thousand held their posi- tion in Union Square until about 5 |p. m., with minor clashes here and there occurring until midnight, Starts Early. The Union Square meeting, sched- uled for 1. p., began to gather be- fore noon. In spite of the police prohibition of parades, sections of the Communist Party paraded with placards and signs érowd from various streets before the police could muster force to at- tack it. Tremendous cheers greeted the ers, shoe workers and other unions. Sam Darcy, opened the meeting at 12:40 and introduced Robert Minor, as the first speaker. Jack Johnstone, national organizer of the T.U.U.L. spoke on the ap: proaching struggles of the unem- ployed and employed, and the March 29 national conference on unemploy- ment to be held in New York, prepa- ratory to the national convention on unemployment to be held in Chi- cago.

Fif y per cent of the working pop- ulation of Paterson participated. Fifteen thousand came out to dem- onstrate against unemployment and for the demands of the Communist Party and the T. U. U. L. The police were completely lost at the great turn-out, and could not decide how to act. The whole po- lice foree and every agent of the capitalist class was at hand at the City Hall, to our demonstration. The chief of police had ordered them to leave their sticks and use blackjacks instead. The splendid spirit that the work- ers showed at this demonstration surpasses the expectations of the most optimistic comrades and active workers. The Communist Party and the T. U, U. L. were fully mobilized and prepared for every emergency to meet resistance, and police brutality and attempts of the bosses’ forces to disrupt the meeting. The speak- rs, one after another, developed be- fore the workers of Paterson the program, and tasks of the Commu- nist Party, the T. U. U. L., the Sommunist International and the Red International of Labor Unions. The whole mass paid greatest at- tention, listening to every word ut- tered by our speaker: Before the demonstration was concluded a dele- gation of T. U. U. L. members were admitted to the mayor’s office only at the pressure of the masses on the outside. The whole program of the Party was developed and the demands pre- sented. Upon this the mayor had this to say: “I congratulate the po- * | lice’ of the city in the way they con- lucted themselves.
