M'DONALD AGAIN BOMBS VILLAGES Gandhi Takes Sata Step in Betrayal Capitalist press dispatches tell of the MacDonald British Labor Party government sending fresh swarms of airplanes to blow up Indian vil- lages and villagers. The British royal air force on Saturday bombed the towns of the Khani tribe, and of others (what others not stated) in the northwest provinces. Censored and delayed stories in- dieate that this murderous terror against old men, women, children and non-combatants generally has| not stopped the rebellion but has intensified it. “Intermittent firing | throughout today and yesterday” is reported in a news item dated Aug.! 30. It is further stated (same date) | that “A group of hostile (Indian! peasant) tribesmen was seen last night at Chapri, three miles west of | Kharlachi.” This is a new area of| uprising. The Indian newspaper Pioneer de- clares that the Gandhi leaders will call off their “non-resistance” cam-| paign and try to stop the anti-im- perialist movement if the viceroy’s| propositoin being carried to Motilal and Jawaharlal Nehru today is ac-| cepted by them. No mention is made of Gandhi—who has evidently al-| ready agreed. The two Nehrus and Gandhi were allowed to hold a con-| ference in. prison two weeks ago. | Bronx Functionaries’ Class Begins Sept. 4) The Bronx section functionaries’ | class, at 569 Prospect Ave., will| continue to hold classes on Thurs- day evenings, at 8 p.m. A perma-| nent teacher has now been secured.

Mobilizing its full mass strength, the International Labor Defense participated in the mass demonstration of the Trade Union Unity League which called distributing out 30,000 workers to demand social | insurance for the unemployed. Mem- bers of the International Labor De- fense carried banners calling for the immediate release of the unem- Minor, Amter and Raymond, who were jail- ed after the unemployment demon- stration on March 6 and are serv-| ing a sentence of 8 years and for! tke release of all other class war prisoners. Resolutions calling for the passage of a Social Insurance Bill, prepared by the Communist Party and for the immediate uncon- ditional freedom of the four leaders |of the jobless were unanimously adopted by the workers at the dem- onstration. Similar demonstrations were held in other cities in the country in which the International Labor De- fense also pavticipated. The demonstration marks the | opening of the September-Uovember drive for the defense and liberation of labor’s fighters, imprisoned for their militant working-class activity, A special drive for funds to save the |6 Atlanta workers from the elec tric chair and to free the 6 im- prisoned Imperial Valley organizers and the 4 leaders of the unemployed delegation will be made during these months—with house to house c1 vas, circulation and collection lists, Workers everywhere are urged to rally to the call of the International ; Labor Defense for a successful cam- paign for funds.

Admission 35 cents. to the Trade Union Unity | Admit Facts NEW YORK.—More and more information about the frightful ex- tent of unemployment at the pres- ent time is seeping through the cap- italist press, though it is hidden, in | out of the way corners on the finan- | cial pages. | Using the Department of Labor figures on uremployment, which it admits are “highly unsatisfactory,” the New York Herald-Tribune states that unemployment must te, around 7,808,000, and not the 2,50),- 000 that Hoover and his figuring liars have tried to put over. The} Herald-Tribune analysis, of unem- ployment says: “If this total of workers (48,- | 800,000) of workers has suffered adecline of 16 per cent during | the last year ard the rate of un- employment reported by the United States Department of Labor is representative, then we may conclude ‘hat 7,808,000 work- ers are without jobs today.” To add further to this proof of the tremendous extent of unemploy- ment, it is only necessary to quote a few lines from the story published by the New York World, 22onday on a radio speech delivered by Dr. William M. Steuert, director of the | 8, ‘Dr. Steuart now says,” the World dispatch from Washington states, “that on some days the number (of | unemployed) may be 7,000,000 or 9,000,000.” It should be plain to every worker that the Daily Worker figure of 8,000,000 unemployed, which it has broadcasted to the workers for the past four months, is an extremely acurate estimate of the unemployed | ‘ in the United States. That this) number will increase during the coming fall and winter is not denied by the capitalists, who again hold out illusive “hopes” of the spring. It is necessary for all workers to fight now for the Unemployment Insurance Bill. They must carry this fight into the coming elections and elect Communists to carry this | fight right into the halls of con- gress. Vote Communist.

IWW AND BOSSES IN CONSPIRACY Wob Leader Leads For 1.L.A, Likewise NEW YORK.—“Enough to make! Bill Haywood turn in his grave,” was the expression used when in-| teresting disclosures of the further | degeneration of the leaders of the | I, W. W. were revealed in the re-| ports of the Philadelphia delegates | at the meeting here of the National Committee Bureau of the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union. Delegate Varlack told how he had been approached in Philadelphia by a Wobbly by the name of Ben Flet- cher with the request that Varlack come over and orgasjze for the I. W. W., who were getting financial | support for their drive from “an engineer.” Fletcher admitted that he was in- strumental in the writing of two leaflets attacking the M. W. I. U.; One was issued by the I. L. A. and the other by the I, W. W., which| winds up with the old Wobbly slo- gan, “Yours for direct action,” but in a previous paragraph contradicts it with the advice that the M. W. I.| U, appeal to the Director of Public Safety for a permit to hold meet- ings. After going to pieces through the| usual internal squabbles following on the failure of their drive in the port of New York at the time of the National Convention of the M.| W. I. U,, the remains of the I. W.| archo-syndicalists in “hanging on| to the coat tails of the revolutionary | movement,” have again mustered) are, together with “Polly” Baker of the I. L. A. and the stevedore| bosses, doing all in their power to fight the M, W. I. U., which is calling a district conference in the| port of Philadelphia on Sept. 6 and | 7 in preparation for a strike against an impending wage-cut. Significant is the fact that the I.W.W. in none of their leaflets or at no time attack “Polly” Baker, also that they are favored by Mur- phy Cook, one of the stevedoring! companies. Behind the united front of the I.W.W. and the I.L.A. and the stevedore bosses is the realiza- tion that the LL.A. will be played out next month in Philadelphia when the fakers of the I.L.A. try to put over a wage-cut with the consequent revolt on the part of the longshoremen. What is intended is that the longshoremen will still be shackeled but this time under a dif- ferent name—under the name of the I.W.W., which they hope may re- place the stevedores’ company union known as the ILA. If this can be worked, “Polly” Baker will of course again switch organizations and go back into the I.W.W. The longshoremen are beginning to realize that the I.W.W. is not what it used to be, but is following in the path of the LL.A. This has been brought home to them by the fact that wobbly speakers were per- mitted to hold meetings at the shape-ups when the police broke up the meetings of the M.W.I.U. On September 6, delegates will come together in Philadelphia from all the Atlantic Coast ports and will definitely discuss and lay plans for a Hilo against speed-up and wage- cuts. bea WORKERS INDUSTRIAL NION OF NEW YORK ie w. ‘Sist Ripe Cheisen 2274 ronx Meadauart uarters venue, Melrose vinta, *Hroalyn eadqvarters, MY yh jam Avenue Pulag! ry month atat St Advertise your Union Meetings here, For tion write to The DAILY WORKER Advertising Dept 26-28 Union &4..

They arc vastly indignant over the action of the police who came to the as- sistance of the bosses’ efforts to keep the Communist candidates off he ballot. The police saw the Te. sponse of the workers of Kensing- ton to the arguments of the Com- munist Election Campaign Commit- tee signature gatherers. The work- ers and unemployed, gladly signed the petitions to place the Commu- nist candidates on the ballot. The lesson they had learned from the attack on the workers’ standard of living, the reductions in wages, the lengthening of hours, the doubling of the work was enough to convince them. So last week the police made an excuse of the ancient blue laws, ar- rested numerous workers who had bern mobilized for signature gather- ing, seized the petitions which con- tained already about 700 names and {also stole a lot of literature, the | election campaign pamphlets, the | “Working Class Against the Capi- talist Class,” and leaflets advertis- | ing the Unemployed Demonstration for Sept. 1 The workers of Kensington are aroused.
