The first page presented | sports and not to leave you Jong in suspense a group of Pioneers, dressed | in white and red sports costume, shot right through the page on to the stage and gave a very excellent per- | formance of turning, jumping, wrest- | ling and pyramid building.

Olgin then spoke. He told the’! story of a little boy, son of a worker | that he had known many years ago | before the revolution. This boy had | been hurt by-a Tsarist soldier, but | the boy fought back brayely, ‘This | boy, said the speaker, is today an} officer in the Red Army.

DRAMA “China Express,” the Soviet film which opens at the Little Theatre, Newark, New Jersey, Saturday, May 2nd, is a powerful drama of the class struggle in China presented in a unique and arresting manner. The action is centered in a railway train, the China Express. The train is di- vided into “classes,” first, second and third, according to the degree of com- fort. This division corresponds ex- actly to the class division of capital- ist society and applies also to China. The passengers of the First Class are foreign diplomats, capitalists, mission- arjes as well as domestic war lords. Tn the second class are the non- descript middle class types, the petty bourgeoisie, the intellectuals, the Jackeys and hangers-on of the yule ing class. The third elgss is occur pied by laborers and peasants. The story of “China Express" is simple, "Ghowsh the sory fering in Me immediate literal meaning, it pos- Sesses an even gregter power of sus- gesting the larger and deeper mes- sag of class struggle and workers’ triumph.

J.—April 27.—As | May Day nears, with demonstrations against wage-cuts, persecution of Negro and foreign-born workers, imperialist its mighty Union, the bosses’ police watchdogs are increasing their terror against the working class in an attempt to silence their protests. Yesterday, George Walker, a young Young Communist League, was ar- rested for distributing May Day leaf- | Jets. He was taken to the police station, brutally beaten up and then | released without any charges being} filed against him. Three white workers are being held for the grand jury for participating in the February 25 demonstration against unemployment and for re- lief and insurance, All hall keepers are being terror- ized by the police into refusing their halls for meetings of the Communist Party and other militant working- ¢lass organizations. In spite of this the mass revolu- tionary struggle against starvation, against wage-cuts, lynching and per- secution of Negro and foreign-born workers is growing and New Jersey workers will come out tens of thou- sands strong in mighty demonstra- tions on May First. starvation, | BORO PRESIDENT | DODGES JOBLESS Doesn’t Even Want to | Hear of the Starving NEW YORK.—Hundreds of unem- | ployed workers gathered at Jay and | Johnson Sts., Brooklyn, yesterday at | the call of the Borough Hall Unem- ployed Council and after hearing speakers describe cases of extreme | distress the council had found ,| elected a committee of ten and rati- fied demands for immediate relief and sent them to Borough President Hesterberg. Hesterberg not only dodged the committee, but likewise his secretary, the commissioner and the commis- | sioner’s secretary refused to see them. Some of these officials gave excuses that they were not in, but the com- | mittee, led by Anna Rollins, secre- tary of the council, kept after them, | | until they located the borough presi- | dent’s secretary in his office, guard-| | ed by plenty of strong-arm men. The borough officials held a conference and finally sent out word that they | simply would not see the committee | of the jobless. {| City Will Starve You. The committee had been followed by a great throng of jobless, who fol- lowed it back again to Jay and John- son, where, with police of every vari- ety massing around and in spite of | several attempts by the cops to dis- | suade them from holding a meeting, | they met and heard the committee | report that the borough government did not even want to hear of work- ers starving in Brooklyn, to say noth- ing of doing anything for them. The meeting enthusiastically de- cided to hold other meetings after | the May Day demonstrations and | Jay plans for such a big demonstra- | tion that all Hesterberg’s police can- not stop them. The delegation had on it three col- ored workers, three women and young as well as adult jobless work- ers. It was elected right from the crowd at the mass meeting. Many Join. A large part of the crowd followed the speakers to an indoor meeting at. 73 3Myrtle Ave., headquarters of the council; the hall was jammed to overflowing and many joined the council. A food committee was elected, which immediately went out and collected some provisions for the list of starving families Hesterberg wouldn't even look at. At the indoor meeting a Negro worker told of being injured on the Ward Line “Cuba Mail”. He sued for $15,000. His own lawyer, a white chauvinist it turned out, told the judge in court: “He's only a colored worker, and $1,000 will be enough.’ When the $1,000 was paid, the law: yer took it as his fee.

By RYAN WALKER Meat Strike Winning Against Butchers, Cons and the Rabbi NEW YORK.—The working class women of Middle Village continue their picketing against the high price of meat. Since the struggle started one butcher shop and three chickew markets have lowered the price be- tween 14 and 17 cents a pound. The rest of the butcher shops, in alliance with the rabbi of Middle Village, are trying to keep it up. The rabbi goes around telling women that the high price is necessary to make the meat kosher, Last Saturday night the butchers called the cops but the women would not quit. The same committee is starting a campaign to get cheaper bread and rolls. A mass meeting Thursday night will expose the alliance between butchers, cops and the rabbi. | ATTENTION | The Daily Worker District Office Will be open until after midnight to- | day to receive greetings for the Mey Day edition of the Daily Worker.
