American imperialism, in its attempt to dominate the world market, has armed to the teeth to launch war against the Soviet Union, its rival imperialists and the colonial peoples. The recent political upheavals in Peru, Brazil, etc., and the French- Italian naval meetings now in pro- gress show the advanced stage of the war danger among American and other imperialists, and especially against the Soviet Union. ‘These and many other manifesta- tions of war danger and their funda- mental] causes, will be fully explained by Vern Smith, of the editorial staff of the Daily Worker, at the Workers Forum next Sunday night, March 22, at 8 p. m., at the School Auditorium, 35 East 12th Street, second floor.

Not even an attorney is al It is expected they will bert |charged with calling on the 5,000 longshoremen now on | strike to violate the federal in-| junction against picketing and to tie up the docks and win the strike. Hynes and Harvey were arrested at the demand of Holt Ross, head of the Mississippi State Federation of Labor now in New Orleans as Special Representative of the A. F .of L. to do his bit to sell out the strike. The Scab herder Ross, in a signed article in the New Orleans Federationist last week, called for the arrest of the re- volutionary union organizers in the following words: “A great amount of literature has been circulated by the Communists who advocate that the strikers act in mass and go on the docks and smash the injunction, I would like to knaw {f the New Orleans Steamship Asso- ciation had requested that Federal authorities raid the Communist head- quarters and cite the guilty parties for contempt”? Ross's demand that Communist headquarters be raided was granted by the police and as a result, the or- ganizers of the M. W. I. U., who alone have consistantly called on the strik- ers to mass picket and keep the scabs off the docks as the only way to win the strike, are in jail and the corrupt leaders of the 5,000 strikers are busy preparing the sell out., ‘This is not the first time the union- buster Ross has acted as a police spy and has called’én the police to send militant workers to jail and to help him smash their unions. Holt Ross | H. Hynes, national secretary of the Marine Workers Industrial | Union; H. Harvey, national organizer, and George Mitchell, who | were arrested here several days ago and held for federal author- lowed to see them. testified before the Fish Committee at its sessions in New Orleans last fall: “We (the A. F. of L. leaders) have an agreement with the leading employers in the state whereby the representatives of the American Fed- eration of Labor immediately report to the local officers the presence of any Communist. The leading employ- ers of labor also make these reports and the minute we get in touch with one of these Commmunists we make arrangements to get him out of the state.” Ross testified further: “About eight years ago we had considerable trouble with the Communists in the Timber Workers Union. There is no longer any Timber Workers Union in the state of Mississippi.” Thus Ross boasts of smashing unions and acting as a police stool for the bosses! And this scoundrel is the special] representative of the American Federation of Labor in the New Orleans strike! Boris Pylinak, Famous Soviet Writer, Rebukes White Chauvinism F, E. Welsh, representing the Liberator, official organ of struggle of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, on his way with other labor press representatives to interview Boris Pilnyak, Russian writer now visiting the United States, was halted in the entrance of the Hotel St. Moritz by a door lackey and ques- tioned as to what he was doing there. Only the energetic interfer- ence of the white comrade reporters prevented a long argument and the barring of Welsh from seeing Pil- nyak. The Soviet writer was highly indignant at the incident and said: “Such a thing could never. happen in the Soviet Union.” }--NEW SOVIET FILM!—AMERICAN PREMIERE!
