Group One of the Red Builders of the Bronx held a successful open air ; meeting Monday evening at 161st St. and Prospect Ave., where collections for the Daily Worker and for miners’ relief was taken up. So interested were the large crowd and reflecting their desire to know more of the revolutionary program that the speakers were asked to re- turn for another meeting at an early date. The collections netted $6.40 for the Daily Worker and $6.10 for the min- ers’ relief. Three hundred copies of the Daily Worker were sold. Jail for Jobless Workers at Down Town Eviction Four members of the Downtown Unemployed Council were arrested yesterday afternoon after they had put back the furniture of an unem- ployed worker. This worker, Martin I. Monahan, aged 60, came to the council and reported that he had been evicted. He is 60 years of age and has been crippled for over 15 years. His wife is 59 years old. He was thrown out of the apartment at 133 E. 3d St. for which the rent was $20 a month, When the Unemployed Council went to the apartment some one called up the police and seven cops showed up. The four workers were among those who put the furniture back. As we go to press these work- ers are coming up for trial in the Night Court. ACTIVE IN PARTY ELECTION DRIVE Slogan fo” Every Party Member NEW YORK.—The Food Workers Industrial Union is in the frons line of the organization which have re- sponded promptly to the call of the Communist Party for immediate help: in the collection of signatures to defeat the enemies of the revolution- ary workers and to place the Com- munist Party candidates on the bal- lot. The Food Workers Industrial Union has issued a general call to the entire membership and to all workers in the shops for a special election campaign mass meeting which will be held this Friday even- | ing at Irving Plaza, 16th Street and Irving Place, at 8 p.m. to mobilize for the collection of signatures. Under the slogan of “2 signatures a day for all class-conscious workers” the Communist Party signature drive can and will go over the top on schedule time by September 6, pro- vided all working class organizations follow the action taken by the Food Workers Industrial Union, by the Metal Workers League, by the Trade Union Unity Council and by the I. W.O. The immediate mobilization of workers in shop and factory and in all mass organizations is the only guarantee that the Communist Party will collect the necessary minimum of 35,000 signatures to enable Com-| ccgnEs OF SIAM AND munist candidates, working class ADOLPHE MENJOU ON fighters, to get on the ballot.

The Freiheit Mandolin Orchestra will also mobilize its membership at their regular meeting this Thursday night and will assign them to the various boroughs where the members live to collect signatures immediately. The membership of the Freiheit Ge- sangs Verein is expected to follow suit. The Communist Party District El- ection Campaign Committee looks to hear from all other mass organiza- tions, unions and workers: in shop and factory for action.

D. S. Garden, who has lived among the Siamese for many years as editor of the Bangkok Daily Mail, remarks upon the pictures as they appear on the screen. As an added attraction on the Cameo program, Adolphe Menjou appears with Elissa Landi in “The Parisian,” an all-talking English dia~ logue film.

This is a statement of the business representative of Local No. 76: ‘It is better to have a union of 200 good paying members than 1200 bad payers,’ The recent sell-out of the Frame Makers Strike led by the Furniture Council, abandoning the original demand of the workers of a minimum wage scale and settling for $1 or $2 raises. This clearly shows what the fakers are out for and that is dues, and are uniting with the bosses to gain their end. “The Furniture Industrial League, affiliated to the Trade Union Unity League, calls upon you Fellow Work- ers, to come to this Mass Mecting and help organize a strong industrial union in our industry, to organize shop committees and strike for bet- ter conditions the coming season.

Mulrooney Asks for More Police Thugs Police Commissioner Mulrooney, it was reported today, will ask for more funds in the 1932 budget in order to put additional cops on the force. Mulrooney’s excuse is the “crime wave”. The real reason that Mulroo- ney wants more police is to club the jobless and strikers this winter. He wants more cops to beat down the militancy of the masses.

Many workers responded and while they were car- rying the furniture back a cop ap- peared and tried to drive the work- ers away. The workers resisted mili- tantly and more cops were called. Bob Lealess was knocked down for refusing to move. The workers in the neighboring houses booed the cops who threatened to shoot if the workers did not get back into the houses. The workers, however, con- tinued to hoot these thugs. A squad of police patrolled the street but later in the night the workers placed the rest of the furni- ture back in the house and remained to guard it.
