~ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1930 AUSTRIAN WORKERS | BEAT FASCISTS IN SERIES OF CLASHES Military Called Out and Machine Guns Are Mounted on Factories { peial-Democrat Press Hits at Communists;) South; Elias Marks, New Jersey |General John Hudson, who will also |against exploitation. ‘The statement | Quiet About Fascists VIENNA (IPS).—As a result of the provocation of the fascists, the workers of St. Poelten are up in arms. Recently a series of col- lisions occurred between the fascists and workers and workers and the police, Everywhere where uniformed fascists showed themselves they were beaten up by the workers, A group of fascists. were thrashed by workers in front of the Glanzstoff factory. Police attacked the work- ers and threatened to shoot in order to clear the streets. The police were received with a hail of stones. Vio- lent collisions occurred and military vb called out to support the police. ¥ chine guns were posted in front ou. the factory.’ Special police have been drafted into the town, which resembles an armed camp. The workers of the Glanzstoff factory refuse to work with fascists. The social democratic press is conduct- ing a furious anti-communist cam- paign and declares that the whole trouble and all the collisions were caused by the communists. The Communist Party has issued an ap- peal congratulating the workers of St. Poelten on their determined at- titude and calling upon them to con- tinue their refusal to work with the fascists or under the bayonets of the military. The appeal also calls for joint action between the work- ers’ defense groups and the mem- bers of the socialist Republican Defense League and raises the ques- tion of a proletarian mass strike Militant Slovak Workers Defy Cops PRAGUE (IPS), — Recently the unemployed workers of Koenig, graetz collected and marched into the centre of the town, where they weer attacked by the police, support- ed by the military. Violent collis- ions occurred and 25 workers were arrested. In Koyetin a public meeting was called in the Market Place. The po- lice prohibited the meeting at the last moment, but at 7 o'clock the square was full. About 30 police at- tacked the mecting with rifles and bayonets. Mass arrests were made. One thousand workers took part in a demonstration in Munkas on Sunday in the Carpathian Ukraine. A protest resolution against the bloodbath in Radotin and Bickiv was adopted. The police then attacked the meeting and dispersed it with great violence. ‘Red Union Gains in Czech Mines PRAGUE (IPS).—In the delegate elections for the general mecting of the Bruderlanden district miners, the red union increased its poll from 4,474 to 6,287. Unorganized workers were candidates on the red list. The red percentage of the total poll also increased from 19.2 per cent to 23 per cent. Twenty-seven thousand votes were polled in all, The suc- cess of the red union was particu- | larly great at those pits which took part in the recent strike against the will of the reformists. More Czech Workers Jailed By Bosses PRAGUE (IPS).—The editor of t}e Red Forward, the new party cfgan in Reichenberg, Comrade \Jenzel, has been arrested by the police, as aslo have Comrade Culik and Knapp, the secretary of the Red Aid in Pisek and the leader of the workers’ co-operative society in Jungbunzlau respectively. These ar- rests are intended to hamper the May Day preparations of the workers, Mimic War Is Preparation for Real War Mimic war, which is only the fore- runner and the preparation for a real imperialist war, has given the State airport at Groton, Connecti- cut, a warlike atmosphere. The field is being prepared to receive over seventy war planes which will take part in the sham battles off Fish- er’s Island Monday. This mimie war is part of the general effort of the government to whip the war machine into shape for the war which they expect may break out at any time. Polish Jobless Clean Up Town Hall WARSAW, Poland (IPS). — In ‘giersz a stormy demonstration of unemployed workers took place in vont of the local Town Hall. The sabotage of the authorities so in- flamed the unemployed workers that they forced their way into the building and demolished the furniture in the offices. A strong force of police arrived and cleared the building. 200,000 Demonstrate in Streets of Bombay (Continued From Page One.) precipitated the demonstration. 200,000 March. Yesterday another, and much larger demonstration, estimated by} the British and therefore estimated conservatively, at 200,000 tried to penetrate the “Fort Area,” the gov- ernment headquarters. They were barred by police across the street, four deep, and were enough under the influence of the non-resistant leaders to merely sit down in the street and sing songs. This organ- ization was led by the native bour- trace of resistance. 60 More Arrested. made a new raid on the Wadala salt works yesterday. Sixty were ar- rested. Naidu has been sentenced to 9 months “simple imprisonment” and will be “treated as a class A pris: oner,” that is, with extreme leniency. The policy of the British is to cul- tivate by leniency those leaders who advocate non-resistance, but to be merciless on their followers, and try to negotiate a truce before the move- ment becomes a revolt.

The conviction of Flaiani was the first under the sedition laws of the state of New Jersey in 12 years. a statement issued today by J. Louis Engdahl, general secretary of the International Labor Defense, “is a vicious blow by the courts of the State of New Jersey in the employ- ing class attack against the right of jobless workers in that state to or- employment. “In his address to the jury, Pros- ecutor Simon Fisch sneeringly re- ferred to the fact that Flaiani had urged that the unemployed workers be paid $20 a week with an addi- tional $5 a week for each dependant. * * Labor Jury Verdict. NEWARK, N.-S., May 23.—The Labor Jury, elected by a mass meet- ing of workers after having sat through the entire trial of Do inick Flaiani, New Jersey Organizer of the Communist Party who was arrested for organizing the unem- ployed workers of Newark, and charged with sedition and assaulting the police of Newark, declares to the workers that Dominick Flaiani is not guilty. He is “guilty” only of loyalty to the working class. Tho jury of manufacturers and foremen could not have been eiipected to give workers a verdict of not guilty when these workers have so successfully organized the unemployed of New- ark, says the Labor Jury, and con- tinues: “The entire cross examination by Prosecutor Fisch, was with the pur- pose of prejudicing the jury against Flaiani.

Louis Engdahl, general secre- tary of the International Labor De- fense, reported to the national com- mittee on the new arrests in the South. | “These new arrests under the in- | surrection laws of Georgia, carrying | with them the death penalty, should jeonvince the workers and poor of the whole nation that judicial lynch- ing is the weapon of the boss class in the South against the organiza- tion efforts of the militant union,” said Engdahl. “The defense of the workers arrested becomes the out- standing struggle of the I. L. D. in this period.” Textile Union Statement. The National Textile Workers Union has issued a statement, which in part reads as follows: “These arrests are a climax to the successful work carried on in the South by the Trade Union Unity League and its affiliated organiza- tions. r Page Five eetings in your district to protest against the vicious attack of the | bosses!” ee sé A.
