Boss Bureau Lies About Child Labor Accidents WASHINGTON.—In a study of industrial accidents, the Childrens Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor claims that children leave school and go to work because of restlessness, impatience, lack of dis- cipline, and family ignorance regard- in; the value of school training. This is a tissue of lies. Being an agency of bosses, the ureau ignores the presence of hun- er and squalor which not only jorces children but entire families int» mills and factories in order to keep from starving. Such bureaus are only concerned with studying methods of making proletarian children more efficient factory workers and better cannon ‘odder. They belong to the bosses o-d exist for the purpose of min- imizing accidents, through special training, in order to keep the speed- up system running at its maximum output with less danger to produc- tion. When a worker, child or adult, is killed or maimed at one of the bosses’ machines, production is slow- ed up and sometimes insurance com- plications and legal expense arise. Both the insurance companies and the bosses, the two great factors be- hind all nation-wide safety cam- paigns, are interested in reducing the number of accidents. The crip- pled worker, cast off by the boss, rarely gets any attention from the insurance company. He is left to shift for himself, meagerly existing on whatever pittances he can find in the miserable streets and alleys of capitalism. Poincare Warns U. S. Bosses PARIS, July 3.—Presiding at a dinner to national delegates in the headquarters of the France-America Committee, Poincaire, the veteran French politician, takes the occasion to voice his attack on the American which, if it is not remedied prompt- ly will grow worse.” Coming from the mouth of such a man as Poin: care, who, although, retired, still ex- erts considerable influence among the French bosses, this is a rather tariff. He said, “There is a crisis in the friendship of the two nations Italy Retalia ROME, July 3.—Tariff retalia- tion against the United States has already become a fact in Italy. A drastic raise was niade in custom duties on automobiles, tractors, motor lorries, etc., all of which are serious warning to the American boss government. Against U.S, Tariff manufactured products chiefly im- ported from the United States, The increase was declared in a royal decree and was effective July 1. The move is correctly interpreted in Rome as a counter measure to the Smoot-Hawley tariff law. Bosses Think Fake-Measures Will Quiet Jobless SALT LAKE CITY.—At the con- vention of state governors, here, Franklin D, Roosevelt, Wall Street manikin, said that unless the states do something about the unemploy- ment there will be a tremendous crisis. He suggests al® sorts of milk-sop programs and red-herring measures RESIST POLICE AT ILD PROTEST CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 3.— Police made their first attempts, which proved unsuccessful, to break up an Inter-Racial Dance, erganized as part of the Fifth Anniversary celebration of the International Labor Defense. The entertainment followed the open air demoustration held in the Public Square against the imprison- ment of the six workers in Atlanta and against the persecution of workers and peasant in India by British imperialism, with J. Louis Engdahl, General Secretary of the International Labor Defense, as the principal speaker. Engdahl was speaking at the evening’s entertainment, the first time there had ever been any speak- ing at a similar affair. Workers present successfully resisted the de- mands of the police that there be no speaking, no mention of the At- lanta persecution of the six work- ers facing the electric chair in Georgia. This part of the program was carried through successfully and greetings from the gathering were unanimously voted sent to the prisonérs. ee ® Youngstown Workers Demonstrate. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July 3.— Workers assembled here under the eae of Tice etn La- Defense, fol an appeal by J. Louis: Engdahl, its General t ; to relieve, not the hunger and mis- ery of America’s jobless millions, |but the growing revolutionary fer- vor of the workers. In order to attract votes it is also practical for the bosses’ poli- ticians to capitalize upon alligator tears, Rooseveltion thunder and |fake relief programs for the unem- | ployed. “VAG? CHARGES IN BIRMINGHAM BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 3.— Continuing their campaign against | the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League, police broke up a mass meeting Saturday night at Capitol Court, and arrested Barry Jackson, Acting District Or- ganizer of the Communist Party; Frank Burns of the T.U.U.L., and Gilmer Lewis, Negro organizer. When first arrested the organ- izers had several charges placed against them. Later, however, the chargés were changed to that of vagrancy, and bail set at $800 each. Trial on the framed-up charges of vagrancy will be held July 15th, Despite the anti-Communist or- dinances passed recently by city council and the combined attacks of the police and the Ku Klux Klan, the workers of Birmingham are rallying to the revolutionary unions to fight the miserable cc~ ‘tions forced on them. ann NLE ESAS ance enna Secretary, voiced their denunciation of the persecution of Powers, Carr, Burlak, Dalton, Newton and Story, now facing death sentences at At+ lanta, Georgia, as a result of their organization activities, Engdahl brought the greetings of the steel workers of Birmingham, Alabama, where he spoke while in the South recently, to the Youngs- town ‘steel workers, who were keenly interested in the intense ex- ploitation of labor in the South. | The Daily Worker: | fact that the working class is bend- ing toward our movement so fast that we cannot spread our leader- ship any too soon, People in Georgia are in a tur- moil. Wages are being cut at an outrageous pace. The exploitation of child labor is enough to make} anybody’s blood boil. At the age of ten or as soon as they are strong enough to carry around a ten-pound weight without any effort they are are given a man-sized job. Georgia is ripe, so let us spread our lead- ership among its workers. Birmingham, Ala., a town that is one-third A. F. of L., is tired of fighting against themselves. They are tired working under the lead- ership of an organization that is forcing them to become scabs, for- cing them to fight against them- selves and fellow-workers or starve. They realize that there is an or- ganization that is fighting this A. F. of L. fakery and are crying for | its leadership. Comrades! The working class | should be in want of nothing. They | should have everything, for they are the producers of everything. Let us spread our leadership, not only for them, but far and wide throughout the entire country. The country is ripe, so let us start the harvest. Comradely yours, D. RIFKIND, Secretary, I. L. D. | Protest Lynch Terror in Los Angeles, Cal Workers’ Center, Los Angeles, Cal. | Comrades:—On June 11 a protest | meeting against the lynching of Negro workers in the South was held at Social Hall, 1084 E. Adams St. In spite of the opposition of the Negro bourgeoisie element and the police the meeting was a suc- cess. For the first time the Negroes of Los Angeles demonstrated by their actual presence at a Commu- | nist meeting that they are ready | to join the Party of their class in| the common struggle. Sixteen Ne- groes made applications to join the Communist Party. Some of this number were women, The fact that Negro women were present at a Communist meeting, especially in Los Angeles, is of double signifi- cance and of the utmost importance. It clearly shows that the most bitterly exploited group of workers has at last become awakened and are ready to follow the program as outlined by the Communist Party. The Daily Worker made a great hit with the Negro workers, Yours for greater success, JOHN K, LARREMORE, Director of Negro Work, C. P. ALBERT HUGHES, Director Negro Work, Y.C.L. ARREST PULEO TO STOP TU.UL. ORGANIZATION Stephen Puleo of Boston, an ex- service man, one of the speakers at a meeting called by the National Textile Workers’ Union and Trade Union Unity League of Fall River, Mass., was arrested Friday, June 27, on the charge of “promoting anarchy” after he had made his ad- dress. This charge is leveled against Stephen Puleo because he urged the textile and other workers of Fall River to organize against wage- cuts, the speed-up system and un- employment. The International Labor Defense of the Boston District is organizing immediate defense for Stephen Puleo, as it is doiag in the cases of Richard Davis and August Pinto, who are held for deportation be- cause of their labor activity, and as it is doing in the cases of tens of other workers who are facing per- secutions. The statement in the boss press that Puleo was wanted on a war- rant of 1929 is a false issue, for he could have been apprehended in- side of two hours, since he resides in Boston and is active and well known and even was arrested on Boston Common some five weeks ago.

There was a pair of men sent in to 6 West, and when they got in | there they found no gear to work with.
