After the demonstration a motor lorry bearing delegates back to the outlying districts was ambushed by fascists, who poured a murderous fire into the packed workers, killing one outright, seriously wounding 5 and wounding 14 others less seri- ously. The workers were completely un- armed and had to defend themselves against a horde of fascists armed | with revolvers, clubs, knives and knuckledusters. Those workers who urvived the first volleys were adly injured with clubs, knives, etc. In order to prevent protest dem- onstrations on the part of the em- bittered workers, the social-demo- cratic police president has prohibited all open-air meetings and demon- strations in Pirmasens and the Greeted by Workers \From Shops, Non-Party Workers Delegates neighborhood indefinitely. On Saturday and Sunday the dis- trict conference of the Communist Party in Thuringia took place in Erfurt. A delegation from the Dixi automobile workers greeted the con- ference. The delegation was com- posed of Communist, social-demo- cratic and non-party workers, A representative of the Leuna work- ers brought the greetings of the Halle party district. One hundred and seventy dele- gates took part in the conference of the North West district of the Ger- man Communist Party on Saturday and Sunday in Bremen. Delegates were present from the docks, the factories and the jute works. At both conferences the political |resolutions supporting the policy of |the Central Committee were unani- mously adopted and the new dis- ‘trict committees unanimously elected. Bolshevist _ self-criticism | was the salient feature of both con- | ferences. Swedish Communists in Clash with Police STOCKHOLM (LP.S.).—Since June 6 British cruisers have been lying at anchor in the Swedish har- bor town of Malmo, which controls the Oresund entrance into the Bal- tic. Recently the Swedish Commu- nist Party organized a joint demon- stration of Swedish and Danish workers in Malmo and about 300 Danish workers sailed across the Oresund from Copenhagen to join it. The authorities mobilized a large force of police, and minor collisions occurred at the landing of the Dan- ish workers. The police prevented the joint demonstration from marching to the British vessels to fraternize with the sailors and to appeal to them not to permit themselves to be used against the Soviet Union, but Swe- dish, Danish and German Commu- nists spoke to a demonstration of thousands of workers. A gang of fascists attempted to interfere with the workers, but were roughly | handled and would have had a hard | time but for the fact that they were | rescued by the police, who attacked the workers with their sabres. A number of workers were severely in- jured and a number of arrests were | made. The magnificent demonstra- tion of international proletarian sol- lidarity has made a deep impression {in Malmo.

Anti-Imperialist Demonstration in Antwerp BRUSSELS (LP.S.).—The S. S. Leopo! e has arrived in Antwerp. A strike of Negro sailors on board this vessel was suppressed with great brutality a week or so ago on the Congo coast. Members of the Belgian Communist Party and Young Communist League met the vessel and distributed leaflets de- manding the release of the Negroes imprisoned in connection with the | strike. Placards demanding the freedom of the Congo were dis- |played. Hurriedly summoned po! lattacked the demonstration, which | grew rapidly. Five young worker |were arrested, but had leased shortly afterward. The Ne- gro sailors fraternized enthusiasti- cally with their white comrades. Bosses Agreed Upon First Young Plan Loan PARIS, June 11.—After long bickering, the negotiations for the operatior. of the Young Plan loan was concluded Wednesday morning. The bankers of nine countries finally reached some sort of an { tereement and signed a series of t agreements for the issuance of the $300,000,000 loan on Thursday. Thus the first loan under the Young Plan, the burden of which chiefly falls upon the shoulders of the Ger- being. Communist Work for Unity PRAGUE (LP.S.).—The workers on a building job in Teplitz are on strike for wage demands. The em- ployers tried to break the strike, put agitation carried on by the Com- munist Party and the revolutionary trade union persuaded the appren- tices to make common cause with the strikers. The apprentices formed their own strike committee. ‘The building workers in Kaaden have been on strike for seven days. The police are co-operating with the employers afd harrying the strike pickets. A number of collisions have occurred. “Free Press” in PRAGUE (LP.S.).—The well- known author and university pro- fessor, Salda, has dealt with the bloody events in Radotin in a long rticle published in “Salda’s Merk- Jaetter.” The censor cut the ar- icle in three places, The associa- Jobless Meet in Minneapolis Sun.

You will observe there is ‘no attempt to break into such or- ganizations as the Rotary Club, the |Kiwanis, Chambers of Commerce }and similar fields.” Evidently, Green, feeling that the A.

F. of L. by the Com- munists. | “The Communists know,” Green proceeded, “that if revolution is to originate it must be among the |masses of people and through dis- ‘satisfaction of the working people.” Green tried to pretend that the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League with their fight for “Work or Wages” for the un- |employed was “inconsequential at the present time,” but that it was the “potential importance that was erious,” evidently realizing that the |“dissatisfaction of the working | “It is Communis stead of better.

This is given point by Green’s testimony before another congres- sional committee, the House Jud- iciary Committee, where he also ap- |pears on Wednesday, to try to get | Congress to pretend to do some- | thing for the unemployed by pas- sing the fake “relief” measures of jhe Tammany representative, Wag- |ner. In this hearing, Green, who | brazenly lied about unemployment, | saying that there are only 3,609,000 {jobless while the census report of the government admits there are at le 6,500,000, had to confess that: pout 5,000,000 famil in !America today are living below the minimum of health and ef- ficiency...and 4,500,000 (in ad- dition) have barely enough to stpport themselves at a mini- mum.” Meanwhile this condition prevai or nearly 10,000,000 workers’ fam- ilies according to Green’s admission, the S. capitalist government does nothing for the unemployed but club them with police billies and send the New York Unemployed del- {egation to prison for three years j without trial.

For Hoover’s Commission “Law Enforcement,” $250,000. In addition the government is paying German shipowners for ships seized by the U. S. during the war, a sum said to be, by German cap- jitalists, around $82,000,000. The grafters are also to get paid $29,- 000,000 for “government buildings,” about which recently a scandal was hushed up. And the Fish commit- tee to “investigate” the Communists | and the Daily Worker, is also given “unlimited funds” to try to suppress the rising “dissatisfaction of the working people” which Green was so alarmed about. on MYRA PAGE BOOK BEST The World Tomorrow, a Christian publication, admits in its June issue | that it has come to the Communist | publications for a true picture of the Southern conditions.
