Daily Worker: I do not know whether everywhere else is the same, but we the clerks about low wages and stuff.” One of these women said, “I thought you've been pounded full of this National Guard group you belong to. Why the bosses have their guardsmen (all workers’ children) trained to go and fight their own parents, when they go out on strike. These boys are just fresh out of school—but after they have starved and hunted for work, and fought in a capitalist war (like the ex-servicemen) they'll talk dif- ferent.

The slogan of the latest campaign is, “Commu- nist economic espionage.” The Communist Party and the rev- olutionary trade union opposition are aid to have organized economic ‘spionage, particularly in the works of the chemical concern I. G. Farben in Frankfort on Main. The result of this espionage is then said tohave been handed over to the Berlin Sov- iet Trade Mission. ‘The background of this latest cam- paign is the sweeping success achieved by the revolutionary trade union op- position in the chemical works dur- ing the recent workers’ council elec- tions. The police have arrested 13 workers who are active in the trade union opposition. All that the police can say about these workers is that they maintained connections with the central organization of the revolu- tionary trade union opposition in Berlin. This is, of course, true, and not only of these 13 workers, but of hundreds of thousands of others throughout the country. Several newspapers are already calling for drastic action against the revolutionary trade union opposition, in view of the building workers’ strike and the coming struggles in the Ruhr district.

Arrangements had been made to house the hunger marchers at the Y. M. ©.

The mayor, sheriff and police force met the marchers, re- fused to allow a meeting in the square and led them to the County Pair Grounds, where they offered them a stinking cattle barn. ‘The marchers had to sleep as best they could on the damp grass of the fair grounds, or huddle around a fire to keep worm, Meanwhile the sheriff, deputy sheriffs ang a number of Ba cut wages, ‘They demand no wage- cut and recognition of the dock com- mittees.
