Many workers testified to the® starvation conditions which are a damning indictment of the city Farmer-Labor administra- tion, An enthusiastic audience pledged its full support to the city hunger march which will be held next Friday starting at Bridge Square at 1 o'clock, Hunger March, Additional public and also in support of the National hearings in the neighborhoods will be held next week, e e e Demonstrate at Baliimore City Hall BALTIMORE, Ma., Nov. 13.—At the City Hall plaza of Baltimore that ‘was filled the day before on Armistice Day withmachine guns, tanks and all the 1931 model paraphenalia for war, there stood hundreds of workers on November 12, protesting unanimously for immediate relief and against the war plans of the bosses against the Soviet Union. The splendid response by the work- ers to the speakers gave every in- dication that the following weeks will witness rea] action on the part of the workers to carry on a fight for relief and preparations for the local Hun- ger March of Noy. 25 and the Na- tional Hunger March to be held on Dec, 7 to the Congressional body sit- ting in Washington, D, ©. Tremendous hearty sincere ap- Plause met th echairmen’s appeal for ® vote on resolutions for the freeing of Orphen vones, fremad up in Snow Hill, Md. Long ayes that resounded through the plaza was given for the resolution against the war plans of the capital- dsc on the Soviec Union and for the #esolution that gave expression to the workers determination to carry on a unrelentless struggle for unemploy- ment and against evictions.

It was learned later that the mayor was viewing the pro- ecedings from a nearby building jooking on with “capitalist class haired and conv@mpt” in his heart Zor the unemlojed demonstrating ‘workers, The local press suppressed vital facts in the demonstration, es- pecially regarding the resolution on. war and the freeing of Orphan Jones. ‘The meeting was a great evidence of the new determination that the Bal- timore workers are beginning to ex- press for carrying on the struggle. €7¢ 8 CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 13—A march of women, children and youth t the City Hall to present demands to the Mayor will take place on Fri- day, Nov. 27, .The hunger marchers will present, te the mayor a number of cases re- A Negro worker | ‘describing the want and misery of loyed workers of Cleve- land; their demands and slogans.

Y., Nov. 13.—The of- ficials of the Buffalo branch of the American Legion acting with the bosses and their government angered because of the successful meetings held for the last three weeks at the Broadway Auditorium attended by hundreds of workers, are planning to break them up by disruntive and pro- vocative methods. Wednesday morn- ing a tool of the Legion officials, be- gan heckling the speaker, but was quickly silenced by the angry threat of more than 500 workers. His co- hort, McClelland, head of the “In- al Aid Buro,” (a fake capital- ist agency) called up the riot squad. The workers refused to be terrorized by the presence of the police and the mecting continued uninterrupted. This is one of the many meetings held by. the Unemployed Council to mobilize the unemployed for support of the National Hunger March against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union. An- gered begause Comrade Johnson suc- cessfully’ exposed the war plot of the Hoover Hunger Government and called upon the workers todefeat im- perialist war; demand all war funds to feed the jobless and to defend the Soviet Union. This agent of the bosses tried to heckle and threaten him down by shouting “war is good.” It will provide jobs for the unem- ployed. This is a vicious lie and hypoeri- tical claim to hide the bosses’ specu- lation on human life and blood for profit to hide the Wall Street Gov- ernment’s attempt to drown in blood the working class to protect the in- terests of the House of Morgan, PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov>~13.— The Executive Committee of the Workers International Relief calls upon all workers to come out en masse on Saturday and Sunday, No- vember 14th, 15th, to collect funds for the National Hunger March.

Victims of the Boulder Dam are buried in three states and in one foreign country. ‘Those killed on the Nevada side are buried in Nevada, those killed on the Arizona side are buried in Arizona and those found floating in Califor- nia are buried there ,while occasion- ally a body may remain undiscovered until it floats into Mexico. ‘The Six Companies, which has the contract for the dam job here, is called the greatest executioner in America by the workers here, No precaution is made for the safety of the workers and the men are aroused, Tt will only take a little spauk to set the workers in motion here. They will soon be ready again to enter into real mass action against the Six Companies to raise the wages and to demand safety on the job. PROVIDENCE AFL JOINS BOSS DRIVE ON TOILER RELIEF WIR Had Aided Law- rence Strikers PROVIDENCE, RF I, Nov 13—“The state board of the American Fed- eration of Labor today declared open warfare on the Communist groups in this state.” Such was the statement in the Providence News-Tribune Nov. 9. “A decision to warn the unions against the red menace ,and request by President John T. Burns not to permit them to éhter” was a further statement. (Workers! Take Up War in Mass Demonstrations Nov. 21 The Wall Street gov- arnment made several significant moves yes- terday to entrench its leadership in the anti- Soviet war front form- ing in Manchuria. A dispatch from Wash- ington to the NewYork Times makes quite clear that the United States does not intend to support any proposal against Japan at the meeting Monday of the League of Nations Council. The dis- pateh quotes Under-Secretary of State William R, Castle, Jr., as “recalling” that “the United States had main- tained from the first that the final settlemen must come from China and Japan,” Admission of full agreement on this point between United States and French imperialisms, in spite of the fake “threats” against Japan by Bri- and is contained in the following statement in which Castle is quoted as referring to the secret notes be- tween Japan and the United States: “The notes which Aristide Briand French Foreign Minister and act- ing chairman of the Council, has just sent to Japan and China are @ reflection of these conversations, and their contents were known to the ‘state department before they were dispatched.” Japan Sees U. 8S. Defending Her. Japanese official opinion of the role of the United States at Monday’s League Council meeting is further given in a dispatch from Tokyo as follows: Last week a conference called by & provisional committee with represen- tation from many working-class or- ganization, including members of the A. F. of L. and under the leadership of the Workers International Relief, the only non-partisan relief organ- izations (as proven in the Lawrence strike, where workers irrespective of their union affiliations, and those who are completely unorganized have been receiving relief from the WIR relief stores and kitchens; no reser- vations, no distinction, every worker, as long as he is on strike is given as much relief as available) made their final preparations for the con- ference held last Sunday, Nov, 8, where relief for the Lawrence strikers was seriously discussed by every one. It is clear to every worker, that the open warfare is waged by the A. F. L. officials, John Burns and others not against the reds, but against the workers. Was John Burns actually afraid that these workers would assist in the “relief for these strikers.” It is clear that Mr. Burns is fol- lowing out the general policy of the A. F. of L. unions, whose representa- tives in Lawrence discriminate in the distribution of relief. The A. F. L, relief organizations in Lawrence, cater only to those work- ers who are members of the A, F. L. Soviet “Forced Labor”—Bedchat’s series in pamphlet furm at 10 cents per copy. Read it—Spread it!

The United States will be represented by Lieut. Col, James Mcllroy.” Welcome Choice of Dawes, A dispatch from Tokio quotes Ja- panese officials as welcoming hte choice of General Charles G, Dawes, U. S, Ambassador to London, as U. &. “observer” at the League's Council meeting in Parls on Monday. The dispatch says: “Charlgs G. Dawes, American am- bassador at London, who has been instructed by the United States gov- ernment to go to Paris for the meet- ing, is regarded here as friendly to Japan.” The Japanese view of the role as- signed to Dawes is fully supported in an editorial in yesterday's Journal of Commerce denouncing the talk in League circles of an economic hoy- cott against Japan. It states: “, . « Under the circumstances it 1s better for our representative to stay outside (the League). That makes it clear beyond a shadow of doubt that we feet under no ob- ligation to co-operate with the Council if it should decide that Japan is an axgressor state against which it is desirable to direct the punitive provisions of the League Covenant.” U. 8. Strengthens Asiatic Fleet. Further proof that Wall Street is preparing to back Japan with military forces in the attack on the Chinese masses and their Red Army, and on the Soviet Union and ‘its sucecssful socialist economy, is contained in a dispatch to the New York Tribune from Washington. This dispatch re- ports that the U. S, Asiatic fleet will be strengthened by the following ad- ditions: two gunboats and the air- craft carrier, Langley. The dispatch also states: “The Asiatic fleet will gain, in ad- dition to the Langley, the gunboats Sacramento and Asheville, now with the special service seuadron, but thought to be better fitted fer f<f- atic river service because of their slow speed.” Grandi Comes to Forge Hero Link. In the meantime, Grandi, fascist Italian foreign minister, is nearing the shores of the United States, His visit is intended to forge still another link in the anti-Soviet front. A Washington dispatch reports: “Every page in the book of in- ternational problems in which Itali- an-American co-operation might offer rolut’ons will he troned nerf week by Foreign Minister ndi of Italy and Pres'dent Hoover.” The imperalst war mongers con- INDIAN THE PRICES the Fight Against tinued yesterday their frantic efforts to push the Soviet Union and the whole world proletariat into another and bloodier world slaughter. The New York Times carried a big head on its front page intimating that the Soviet Union was directly helping Genera] Ma, The head declared: “RUSSIANS STRENGTE GEN. MA’S ARMY, SENDING ARMS AND MEN TO FIGHT JA- PAN; BRIAND MAKES NEW APPEAL FOR PEACE.” The dispatch of Hugh Byas, Totkio correspondent of the NewYork Times, while peddling its own lies, falls far short of confirming the lying impres- sion the New York Times sought to give. That dispatch states: “From Harbin comes news that a troop train of thirty-five coaches is proceeding from Puhata to An- ganchi with a mixture of Russian and Chinese troops in the propor- tio of one Rusian to four Chinese.” Peddles More Lies. ‘The dispatch declares that General Ma’s forces now consist of 20,000 troops and elaims that “he is muni- tioning them with the aid, as the Japanese War Office firmly believes, of Soviet Russia.” It further states: “Aecording to information from the Japanese headquarters in Man- churia today, a force of 2,000 partis- ans made up of Soviet Russians, Chi- nese and Koreans have arrived at Tsitsthad from Helho, and sixteen freight cars containing munitions ar- rived at Tsitsthar from Soviet terri- ” Olrect Effort to Involve U. 8. S. R. In the effort more directly to in- volve the Soviet Union, the dispatch goes on: “A red army staff officer named Ossipoff has arrived at Anganchi and is staying at the Ogpu (Soviet Secret Service) office.” A few days ago the Me factories in Tokio and Harbin attempted to pass off the notorious white guard leader, Semenoff, as a Red Army officer. A Harbin dispateh gives as further “evidence” of Soviet participation with the forces of General Ma, the arrival at Anganchi and Manchouli of two tanks and # half dozen 6-inch guns, Japan Mobilizes White Guanis. Anganch! and Manchouli are two of the towns on the Siberian border from which Japan has recently re- moved her civilian population in preparation for the attack on the Soviet Union.’ The Japanese are pushing their plans to mobilize the white guards against the Soviet Union. A Shang- hai dispateh reported yesterday: “Gen. Grogori Mikhallovitch Se- menoff, the ‘Butcher of Siberia’, is directing the raising of a white Russian army of 5,000 men in Man- churia to co-operate with Japanese if the partly Soviet-Chinese Eastern Railway is to be seized, it was said here today.” Chinese Communists Defeat Japanese A dispatch from Tientsin reports a battle between the Japancse in- yaders and a force of Chinese and Korean Communists in which the Japanese suffered their first defeat in Manchuria. Yesterday's New York Post d *h's story with the mis- leading head of: “Siberian Reds Defeat Japanese, Take Planes, Chinese Army Ad- vances.” The dispatch states: “A report circulated in Russian circles (white guards) today said a Communist brigade of Chinese, Koreans and Buriats from Blage- vesehenk, Siberia, surprised the Japanese troops at the Nonni River and threw them back sharply, tak- ing several of their airplanes. “The Communist troops, march- ing from the North, swept into the highway near Thitsihar, the report said, and attacked with sweeping | machine-gun fire, demoralizing the | Japanese forces in the Nonni region | and forcing them to retreat several | miles behind the bridge head.” Res'stance Grows Thrucut Manchur Litcrature Agents Order your bundles of New Masses At once, in order to sell them et the NOV. 21 ANE WAR MEETINGS | JUST OUT SOVIET PICTORIAL Sixty Latest Soviet Photos 59 or over nt..

Following the battle, the Japanese War Office issued a provocative statement de- claring, “The Russians are evidently planning something.” A dispatch from Mukden reports further sharp resistance to the mur- derous advance of Japanese. imperial- ism, It states “In addition to the fighting with organized Chinese, there were re- peated clashes between starving Chinese bandits (fighters against imperialism are always bandits, ac- cording to the imperialist plunder- ers.—Edtior, Daily Worker) and Japanese military police in the vi- cinity of Changchun, on the South Manchurian Railway. Fifty band- its were captured and several pol- ice were wounded in a fight near Liufungtsu Station.” British In Struggle For Leadership Reports from Tokyo express fear of a joint attack by Gen. Mah Chan- shan from the north, and his chief, Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang, former governor of Manchuria deposed by the Japanese, from the South. Should this develop it would indicate that the British imperialists have succeed- ed in their attempts to ereate a rift in their favor between the Nanking tools of Japanese and United States imperialism, ‘The British imperial- ists are making frantic efforts to break up the Japanese-United States agreement and to wrest for them- selyes the leadership in the anti- Soviet front. During the past two days, they have tried to overcome the results of the successful United States manouver of forcing them to appear opposed to Japan at Geneva. A dispatch from Washington to the New York Post declares: “Dispatches from London say that there is a growing feeling in England in faver of Japan.” League Meet Monday To Back Japan ‘The same dispatch makes it clear that the League Council meeting on Monday is expected to develop the united front against the Chinese masses and the Soviet Union. It says: “No radical action by the League of Nations with regard to the Jap- anese operations in Manchuria is to be expected at the meeting of the League in Paris Monday.” And further: “Pressure upon Japan having failed, pressure will probably now be directed upon China te secure from her concessions with regard to direct negotiations which will save Japan’s face. At least that is the logical way. Fallure in one direction generally leads, when you can not go further in that direc- tion, to a move in the opposite di~ rection.” Japan Moves To Set Up Puppet Emperor In the meantime, assured of full support by the other imperialists, the Japanese imperialists are pushing forward their occupation of Man~- churia and their efforts to force the Soviet Union into war. Dr. Alfred Sze in one of his frequent and futile notes to\the League of Nations to displace Chinese authorities and working systematically in Manchuria to disploce Chinese authorities and set up groups under Japanese con- trol. He said his Government was informed that more than 4,000 Jap- anese troops and two companies of cavalry were within easy reach of the Nonni River bridgehead during the last week end, with 240 carloads of supplies, 13 carloads of medical supplies, six airplanes, 40 field guns, 2 armored cars and a military wire- Jess apparatus.” This gives the lie to the capitalist press statements that Japan is not intending extensive military activit- (By Mail te Daily Worker) PORTLAND, Ore.—The fourth Oregon criminal syndicalism trial | will open in Portland Monday, Nov. |16.

The main pure pose of this congress will be to fur- ther the union of the Nanking tools of American imperialism with the Canton tools of the Japanese and British. This is the instruction these lackeys have clearly had. ‘The congress is to meet in Nank~ ing, At the same time the Canton traitors will hold a joint meeting in Canton.

When the Hunger Marcher reached Mt Clemens and formed in the City Park to parade to the sup- ervisors office they were met by the tear gas attack of the entire County police, deputy sheriffs, and state troopers, who numbered close to 150.
