July 1—Meyor Stump, of the “socialist” city of Reading, and his chief of police have again shown their true colors to the workers of Reading when they re- fused a@ permit for a collection of funds for the miners in Westetn Pennsylvania who are carrying on @ militant strike under the leader- ship cf the National Miners Union. A committee of the Reading Trade Union Unity League called upon the Chief of Police Shearer for the per- mit. The committee consisted of a fornier member of the socialist party ‘end Joe Evans, section organizer of the Young Communist League. Shearer jumped on Evans telling hiim that there were plenty of starv- ing workers in Reading and that “we can’t take care of any stran- get's.” When Comrade Evans told the Chief that he was now a resident of Reading the Chief told him that he was “ a goddam liar, coming from some other towns to make himself a ‘The committee then proceeded to Dr. Burkheardt to Tell of Soviet Union at the Kansas City Picnic KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A_ special feature of the big July 4th picnic, being arranged by the Party at Kan- sas City, Mo. will be a report by Dr. E.

Hundreds of tickets have already been sold for the picnic which is be- ing held at the beautiful Lemon's Grove at 85th and Prospect, Dodson. All of the left wing organizations in Kansas City have been mobilized behind this picnic and it is expected to be the biggest outdoor workers’ gathering ever held in this section. Games, entertainment, mass singing and a splendid buffet will also be features of the picnic. two seconds, refusing them a permit on the ground that it’s “against the rules here.” He advised them to go to the labor unions of the city. The same Mayor Stump had issued a permit to the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign War the sale of poppies on May 30, 1931, he him- self buying the first poppy.

DETROIT, July 2—Ford is loan- ing $5,000,000 to the Murphy govern- ment of Detroit, for which he will get not only the 3% per cent inter~ est, but many other considerations, such as more efficient use of police and city gangsters to break strikes and beat up workers, a greater share in the city graft of the Murphy ad- ministration. While Ford supported ex-Mayor Bowles, the Ku Klux Klan member, against the present Mayor Murphy in the last recall election, Ford is cementing his alliance with Murphy on a $5,000,000 cash basis. The Murphy administration which promised to clean up graft, provide employment or unemployment relief, opened up its rule by a vicious at- tack against the foreign born work- ers. Wholesale graft in the relief administration was excsed and the Murphy promise to ¢clean up the Buckley murder has receded into ob- livion. Now the Murphy govern- ment is in severe financial difficul- ties, such as Chicago is ‘undegoing. Grafting is going on, with the result that city payrolls are hard to meet. Murphy went to Ford and asked for a loan, He also got a $1,000,000 loan from New York bankers, and is negotiating another loan of $5,000,~ 000 from the same source. It is said that the Ford loan was made on the “easiest” terms—that it, openly. On the inside Murphy promised plenty to Ford. This completes the alliance of the Murphy administra- tion with the Ford interests. Turn in Detroit Tag Day Receipt Continue Collections! DETROIT, July 2.—The joint Daily Worker-Miners’ Relief Tag Days are being continued all week in Detroit. Volunteers are wanted to take collection boxes and raise the funds that will enable both the Daily and the miners to fight on, All Tag Day money collected so far should be turned in at once to the various stations or to 4864 Woodward. The third truck of food is leav- Jing for the strike fields Friday afternoon. All food should be rushed to the stations hicrart! ately, Detroit Election Campaign Picnic | On July 4 and 5) DETROIT, Mich. June 29—On ‘guly 4th and Sth, the Communist Party has arranged a big picnic at | | the Workers Camp which will at the | same time be the opening of the Party election campaign.

This message of protest, addressed to Gerardo Machado, President of Cuba reads: “The International Labor De- fense in the name of the American proletariat protests repeated clos- ing of the Havana Workers Center. We demand the immediate re- opening and the right of assem- Dlage.” Answering for Machado, Herrera, secretary of the president, denies the center is closed.
