It was the last heat of the turn. Every- body's nerve was shot as a result of complete exhaustion. Instead of the workers getting to- gether in a grievance committee of their own. and demanding extra re- lief for the mill, the workers have started a bad practice that means more money for the bosses’ pocket- book and shorter life for the worker. This bad practice is where the roller turns the screw on the break downs, and the screw boy catches the break downs for the catcher because. the catcher's job is so hard and hot that it is impossible to work all operators for the whole turn Workers Become Completely Exhausted On the last heat, the rolled was all in, the catcher was all in. The roller didn’t want to turn the screw for the breawk downs on account of being exhausted and besides he would have to roll the finish in a few more minutes. The catcher was so all in that he couldn't catch the break downs. The breaking point was reach- ed, everything was tense on the mill. All energy was gone, nerves shot, the heat im the mill was driving the work- ers to madness. Men were straining their muscles to stand up and to keep a firm hold on their tongs. Slave Condttions Drive Workers Mad The roller got sore and told the catcher to go home. The exhausted catcher dropped his tongs and went home and stayed home. Instead of the workers organizing together and demanding human conditions on such work, the workers fight each other. ‘This is just what the bosses want... In this period of efficiency of mod- ern machinery and plenty of work- ers, it is simply idiotic that o work- er’s job be made so disagreeable. This condition occurs only under a bosses’ rule where the few bosses own every- thing and the majority of the work- ng class owns nothing. In the Soviet Union, the only Workers’ and Farmers’ Government, the workers own the mills. This means with the development of new machinery, th> hours of work is re- duced, and the wages are increased because there is no boss to take all the products for his own profits.

Workers YONGSTOWN, O,, July 12—Over 400 workers attended the mass meet- ing, held here July 9, as part of the nation-wide demonstrations on that day for the release of the nine Scotts- boro boys. Eight of the boys were sentenced to burn in the electric-chair on July 10, at the original “trial’ i’n early April at Scottsboro, Alabama. The case of the ninth boy restffted in a mistrial. The meeting here was called under the joint auspices of the League of Sruggle for Negro Rights and the International Labor Defense, the two. and their boys with their defense. At least half the crowd were Negro workers, in spite of the fact that most of them had had to walk long dis- tances, The meeting lasted for two hours, and was very enthusiastic. The suc- cess of the meeting, was largely due to the splendid co-operation by the organizations who were represented at the first United Front Scottsboro Conference. An enlarged meeting of the United Front Committee, set up by that conference, has been cal- led for Monday, July 20, ‘at the Workers Hall, 334 E, Federal Street. Resolutions were unanimously ad- opted endorsing the Anti-War de- monstrations on August 1, and the struggle of the coal miners. Other resolutions denounced the frame-up and attempted Jega] lynching of the Scottsboro boys, and the Barberton, Ohio, police terror against the work- ers. A resolution ordered sent to the governor of Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, demanded the remoy- al of the police, thugs and gunmen, from the mine strike area and im- mediate relief for the striking and unemployed miners, oe) ve St, Paul Workers Denounce Lynch Verdict.

During the meeting one wrong demand was raised, and that was a demand that Gov. Miller “pardon unconditionally the nine inno- cent boys.” The boys are innocent, They have committed no crime. We demand their unconditional re- lease, and the full vindication of these nine boys and the Negro people of the vicious boss slander against the Negro people as a race of rapists. The question of a “pardon” for these framed-up vic- tims of capitalist justice can only be raised by the liberal and NAACP fakers. The workingclass demands not pardon, but unconditional re- lease and complete vindication. eS se ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 15—Between 800 and 1000 workers demonstrated here on July 9, demanding a stop to the brutal treatment of the eight Scottsboro victum in the death cells at Kilby prison, Montgomery, Ala., and demanding the immediate re~ lease of all nine of the boys ‘The workers showed real response when a speaker representing the Communist Party pointed out the reasons for the terror agains the Neg- to people, linking it up with the ter- ror, Jim-Crowism, and segregation existing in St. Luis, where white and Negro children are prohibited from playing together even in the park where the meeting was held, and which is situated in the heart of the Negro population.

PHILADELPHIA, guly 15.—Three successful demonstrations were held here July 9. A fourth demonstration was broken up by the police before the workers had time to open the meeting. Ed Bender, who was to have spoken at the broken up demonstration, was arrested and charged as a suspicious character and held under $1000 bail until further hearing.

It is difficult to secure assistance for big banks in difficulties when all other banks are weak and heavily hit.” With the exception of the Berg- werks Zeitung, the entire capitalist press is suppressing Goldschmidt’s revelation of the catastrophic situa- tion of the German banks. Fears are rife that the banks will be un- able to provide sums necessary for the payment of wages tomorrow, al- though the government lowered the gold backing treasury notes from 40 to 30 per cent. * * Prepare Fascism * NEW YORK.—Capitalist press re- ports from Germany clearly show that the Bruening government with the full support of the Socialists is itself putting into effect the open fascist dictatorship.

Not only is this evident tn the decrees issued for full control of the banks, but behind the scenes the military forces are being mobilized for enforcing the dictatorship. In the United States the capitalist press such as the Wall Street Journal and the Journal of Commerce, as well as other newspapers, call on the Ger- man government to institute more open fascist measures in order to get the support of the world finan- ciers. Socialists Help Fascism Gf this situation the Socialist: par- ty of Germany lends its full support against the workers. A manifesto issued by the Socialists blames the “bad bankers” for the crash and absolves the Bruening government. and capitalism generally. This is an effort to deflect the attention of the German workers from the col- lapse of the capitalist structure and to draw them away from a fight against the Bruening government, which is now transforming ftself into an open fascist dictatorship to save capitalism. ‘The critical situation comes on Thursday when wage payments are suposed to be made. Failure of banks in Poland, Upper Silesia, have left thousands of workers with the pros- pect of no wages when pay day comes. In Germany the workers face not only lack of wage payments, but lack of payments of deposits, lack of payments of unemployment insur- ance—in short, actual starvation and misery. The Bruening government is re- sorting to every sort of trick to make a semblance of payment. Some form of payment will be attempted, but millions will be without pay un- doubtedly, Yesterday the Hoover debt pian went into effect. It had not the slightest effect on alleviating the crisis.

C., July 15, In a report to President Hoover, the Wickersham Commission today ad- mitted that Tom Mooney and Werren K, Billings are the victims of a vici- ous frame-up “shocking to one’s sense of justice.” The Commission makes no recom- mendation, however, for the re-open- ing of the case or for any action whatever. It makes an attempt to cover up the facts of the persecution by the boss courts of militant work- ers and tries to divert blame from the capitalist system as such to judges whom it declares to be “incom- petent, weak or politics-ridden.” It makes a fake gesture for “the complete divorce” of the administra- tion of capitalist justice from capital- ist politics. The commission cites the refusal of the trial court of an application for a new trial on “the ground that the prosecuting attorney had been guilty of fraud in withholding from the trial court information impeach- ing the testimony of certain witnes- ses”, and the refusal of the Califor- nia Supreme Court to grant a new trial despite the discovery of “new evidence charging perjury on the part of a material witness for the state.” The commission also slaps the wrist of the capitalist press and prac- tically admits that Mooney and Bil- lings were convicted in advance of their trial with the help of hysteria engendered by the boss press. The Wickersham report on the Mooney-Billings case was published under the heading “The Lawlessness of the Law.” A bitter controversy raged as to its publication, many capitalist groups and individuals, in- cluding Newton D. Baker, trying to have it suppressed. Demanding Relief She Is Arrested Woman Resists Attack At Hand of Cop (By a Worker Correspondent) DETROIT, Mich.—Mrs. M. Naboznik, 5409 Casper Ave., was arrested’ here and a charge of felonious assault was placed against her, after she knocked down a policeman with her mighty fist when the policeman tried to hit her with a club at the Warren branch of the Public Welfare De- partment. For several days Mrs. Naboznik sought aid from the welfare depart- ment, but her case was put off from one day to another. Last Tuesday when she went there they sent her to the Ford Motor Co. for her hus- band’s record of previous employ- ment there. At Ford Motor Co. they told her that everything is O.K. and sent her to welfare department. At welfare department they told her to come back next Monday and when she complained that her children have nothing to eat for two days, the policeman who was there on hand put her out of the office and tried to hit her with the club when she attempted to see the welfare branch department head. She swung her fist at the policeman and down he went. pass Tf the bull-policeman would hit the woman with the club everything would be all right, but since the hun- gry woman gave him his own medi- cine, they arrested her for felonious assault. This is only one of many other familiar cases.

CANTON WORKERS DEMAND RELIEF CANTON, Ohio, July 13.—While last year’s Community Fund set aside $41,000 last year for relief of the un- employed and they had to collect an additional $150,000 in the winter, still they have set aside only $81,000 from this year’s fund. On the other hand, more workers are jobless than a year ago. It is quite evident that next winter will be one of terror unless the workers organize and fight. In- stead of using this public money to distribute to the unemployed, the City Welfare Assn. has a farm of 140 acres and are raising produce, in competition with the farmers, and are paying unemployed workers $2 a day work on this farm with no addi- tional relief. ‘To work out a concrete program of struggle, and to lay real cases of need before the workers from the regis- tration now going forward, the Can- ton Unemployed Council has called for a convention against unemploy- ment and hunger to be held on Sun- day, July 19.

More Bank Crashes Hit Workers Toledo, Ohio. Dear Comrades: The prosperity here in Toledo is getting “so good” that the banks wouldn't give us any money. As somebody informed you, the Security and Home Savings Bank failed to open its doors on the 18th inst. Today I met a worker who saved his money from hard labor and pri- vation and a bank—not the Security and Home Savings, but a bank of so- called good standing—refused to give him his money. The banker told him if he wished to go to Europe he could get half of his money and the other half later. Something wrong with the banks here in Toledo. I don’t know what is going on in the other cities with the banks, but if it is the same all over as it is here then the country is in pretty bad shape The Libby Company here gave out the information the other day that they had just received a contract for a $50,000,000 job. The same day they laid off more workers who had been working 3 and 4 days a week. This undoubtedly is part of the 10 year plan of Woll and Hoover would be remitted by draft Wm. Green Pleads With Bosses Against Army of Unemployed Next Winter (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) must be considered without further delay.” Viewing the possibility of huge masses of workers this winter fight~ ing against capitalism and its hun- ger system, Green expressed the fear of the A.

The third winter of unemployment is ap- Proaching and the nation has never been put to that test be- fore. His answer to the slogan of the Communists—“All war funds of the capitalist government to the unem- ployed in the form of unemployment insurance!” was a cheap bit of dem- agogy. He talked about “billions” being spent for war, and pleaded that billions should be spent for “construction” to provide unemploy- ment, This is the same Green who is co-operating with the war depart- ment in preparing for the next rob- ber war. This is the same lying propaganda that Hoover and Green have been handing out for years while millions drew closer to the starvation level, while thousands died of starvation, and while thon- Green, with his ear to the com- plaints from his fellow fakers about the grumbling of the workers and the greater difficulties for such fakers as himself, Woll, the Muste- ites and the Socialists to fool the masses, warned the bosses of the sit- uation. Coming at the same time that the German crisis was being in- tensified by leaps and bounds, with the masses everywhere rapidly losing their faith in capitalism and preper- ing for action, Green’s words are significant. He said to the bosses; “The situation is more serious than appears on the surface, but for some reason those in authority refuse to act. In the name of God, are we going to sit still and do nothing? All this talk about the hunger and misery of the masses was spouted by Green and his fellow fakers in the International Longshoremen’s Asso- ciation at the luxurious Hotel Vic- toria, where Green eats the finest of foods without stint, le millions face the breadlines. ‘The answer of all the workers to this fakery of Green, to his appeal for greater terror on the part of the bosses, should be increased fight for real unemployment relief—out of the pockets of the parasites.
