And Page Two =——— EXPOSE DIEGO RIVERA AS TOOL __ OF FASCIST MEXICAN GOVERNMENT, Imperialist Lackeys Called on to Appear Before Negro and White Workers NEW YORK —The John Reed Club, 63 W. 15th St., was the scene Friday night of an enlightening if ‘tather disorderly meeting, when Diego ‘Rivera, artist, opportunist, renegade from Communism and propaganda agent for the fascist Mexican gov- ernment, tried to speak on “reyolu- Uonary art.” It appears that the revolutionary artists of the club had invited Rivera to speak under the distaken point of view that Ke was an honorable op- ponent or erring brother rather than an agent of the enemy class. Entering an hour and a half late, Rivera, speaking in French through an interpreter, strung along for some time on themes of scholastic nature, ‘Dut made some fatal admissions such as that there was no work of art but what was a weapon for one class against another, He also asserted that now-a-days the ruling class could not compel an ariist to paint according t its command. At this point there was interrup- tion, with questions demanding to know why, if the ruling class could not do this, Rivera himself had done it. Aiter a lencthy commotion, Bill Dunne took the floor and declared that all should be made aware of the counter-revolutionary character of Rivera, a supporier of the fascist gov- ernmént of Mexico, the murderer of Mexican workers and peasants and | tool ef American imperialism since the ambassadorship of Dwight Mor- row. ‘The club had made a mistake, he said, in inviting Rivera to speak, hence a warning was necessary. Riveré went into a furiive and crooked “explanation” forthwith, of bow he came to be expelled fom the Communist Party of Mexico: claim- ing that he had had “political differ- ences” with the Pariy, and that later he was expelled bscause he painted ® poctrait for Dwight Morrow, ac- cepted a government posi ¢s director of the Acadeniy of Ari and wes seen 7A an automobile with a cabinet min ister.

When asked to give up this sinecure he refused, claiming that he had become too ac- customed to a comfortable life. He was therefore expelled from the Com- munist Party of Mexico. Now this renegade appears before a club named in honor of John Reed, who gave his life to the workers, pretending to be a “revolutionary” artist. Rivera could give only lame and cowardly excuses, such as “how could he earn a living”. Some others spoke, all in attack on Rivera. Gellert closed the meeting with the comment that those who had come expecting a rev- erential meeting of adoration to a ‘great artist” should know that revo- lutionary artists must stand up to criticism, and that Rivera had not stood up under it. The criticism had been justified, and if Rivera wanted to be called a revolutionary, he must show it in his work, Recently~ Rivera, trying to ingra- tiate himself, donated $25 to the Workers’ Center, and $100 to the John Reed Club. The first sum, and also, it is understood, the latter sum, is being returned to him.

The Polish Consul and his staff were brought to the window of the consulate and witnessed the demon- stration with placards calling for the rescue of thousands of workers in the dungeons of the fascist terrorist gov- ernment of Poland, Police commenced » attack the demonstrating workers when lines began to form outside the consulate and placards and banners were raised. Resisting and fighting back, the workers re-formed on several occa- sions and maintained their demon- stration. | With their usual viciousness police | broke up all meetings the workers at- tempted to hold at given points along 67th St. and Third Ave. While no ar- resis were made in order not to draw attention to the murderous policy of Polish fascism, the police had orders to club and slug the demonstrators. The demonstration, held under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, called attention to the rag- 2,000 Workers Protest Against Terror in Poland ing terror in Poland, actively directed against the unemployed and revolu- tionary struggles of the masses, as Polish fascism’s part in preparing the “hinterland” for attack on the Soviet Union. Speakers at the demonstration re- cited the savage atrocities perpetrated by the Polish fascist hangmen upon revolutionary workers, women and people of other nationalities in Poland. After the fourth attempt to hold a meeting was broken up by the police and after one and a half hour of meetings and demonstration, the lines were again formed and a march was made to the Ozecho-Slovak Workers Home on E. 72d 8t., where the hall was crowded to overflowing. Several speakers ‘addressed the workers for more than a half hour after which a collection of $25.69 was téken and a resolution of protest adopted against the Polish terror to be sent to the Polish ambassador at Washington. Among recent acts of the bloody terror raging in Poland was the hang- ing of seven railroad workers who took part in a demonstration for the defense of the Soviet Union, and the impending court martial of two workers for their revolutionary ac- tivities. Bank Failures WASHINGTON, D. ©., Jan. 3—~A new Series of important bank crashes, and the issuance of a privately cir- culated statement on the bad condi- tion of the banks in many localities published by “Kiplinger's Washing- ton Letter,” shows that the efforts of the Hoover government to stop bank crashes is failing miserably. The latest bang to crash was the City Bank and Trust Co. of Hartford, Conn., with $20,000,000 in deposits FURRIERS UNITY: COMMITTEE SENDS LETTER TO BOSSES Warns They Will Not, Recognize ‘Agreement’ with A.

The Unity Committee of the New York Joint Council of Furriers and the Pur Department of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union has sent a letter to the Fur Manu- facturers Assoc. informing the bosses that only this body is authorized to negotiate an agreement for the fur- riers. The letter states: “Permit us to | call to your attention the fact that for the past five years your associs- tion has given recoghition and all possible support to a clique of self- appointed politicians who attempted, through terror and extortion, to force themselves upon the fur work- ors. With the support of this clique, the manufacturers, contractors and sub- contractors in the fur industry suc- ceeded in reducing the wages of the furriers to a starvation level, intro- duced sub-contracting, piece work and hour work in direct violation of the basic principles of the agreé+ ment. “This same clique, known as the oint Council of the International, af- filiated with the A.

Especially will his lecture be of timely interest because of the wage- cutting policy which has been insti- tuted in the film studios of Holly- wood, where “the workers have re- cetved a very deep wage cut, al- though the profits of the industry are steadily increasing.

J.—Criminal negli- gence coupled with a terrific speed- up was the causé of an explosion aboard the Tide Water Association tanker David McKelvy Friday night. which resulted in the death of one fireman and srious injury to one more of the crew. The ship, which arrived here last Wednesday from New Orleans with a cargo of high test casing oil, was preparing to go into dry dock when the blast occurred. The crew was cleaning the tanks with steam, which was supplied by an evaporator in- stalled for water heating purposes. ‘The company, according to a mem- ber of the crew, used the evaporator instead of installing a special heater. In order to increase the steam pres- sure the safety valve of the evapor- ator was deliberately plugged with a piece of wood. When the steam rose to a pressure beyond the strength of the boiler a terrific explosion oc- curred. Alfred Herland, a rireman, had his face blown off. George Koeler, af oiler, received serious injuries of the spine and is reported to be totally paralyzed. Herland died a few hours after the explosion, Immediately following the blast the port engineers and engineers from other ships went to work aboard the McKelvy in an attempt to cover up the résponsibility of the company before the inspectors came aboard, according to a statement of firemen from the ship. One of the engineers, & relative of the dead fireman, how- ever, refused to do the dirty work of the company and exposed the com- pany’s responsibility to the workers on the dock. Koehler, the oiler who was injured, was a member of the International Seamen's Union, an A. F. of L. or- ganization, for 12 years. The union officials refused to send a man aboard to investigate the case. The reason given by the A. F. of L. bur- eaucrats for this action was that Koehler was in arrears in dues pay- ments. — NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES EAST 6IDE—BBONE RKO ions Stig, JEEFERION Today to Tuesday —On the Sereen— on @ sigry drop the Arabian Nights. 4 =RKO Acts— Entire Week oy “Frankenstein” Ly Others The Man Who Made a Monster Proapocts rei at With RKO Acts— Mae Clark Fddie Hall Colin Clive on™? | Boris Karloff topkian Frederic Kerr Punky cages | Dwight Frye Midtown WIR to Hold Affair Wed.

JAN. 8 MEETING TO SPUR RELIEF FOR KY.STRIKERS Miners in | Immediate Need of Aid NEW YORK. — Seven thousand miners answered the call of the Na- tional Miners’ Union, calling upon all Kentucky miners to strike against starvation and terror. From reports coming into the office of the W. I.| R., it is clear that within a few days 18,000 miners in Kentucky will be on strike. From the very first day of strike, these miners will expect help from the workers the country over. From numerous places reports are coming in that workers have already organized relief apparatus to be used in the collection of funds and food for the Kentucky miners. Workers know that the struggle in Kentucky will add a new leaf to the history of the struggles of the workers in this country. And it is for this, reason that they are hastening relief to the Kentucky miners. In New York the District Office of the Workers International Relief has arranged for a mass demonstration at Star Casino, 107th St. and Park Ave., on Friday, January 8 A pro- gram has been arranged by the Workers International Relief for that occasion. Prominent miners of Ken- tucky will address the meeting as well as prominent speakers of the T. U. U. L. The workers of New York should show their solidarity with the Kentucky strikers and turn out en mass at this meeting. On Sunday, January 17, the Work- ers International Relief is calling a mass conference and is inviting all locals of the American Federation of Labor, labor and fraternal unions to be present at this very important conference. The conference will take place at 11 a. m. Sunday, January 17, at Irving Plaza Hall, Irving Place at 15th St. Workers in organized shops should send representatives to this conference and those organiza- tions that have no meeting before the conference should have their representatives appointed to be pres- ent.

NEW CITY “RELIEF” Miserable Under the guise of a plan for un-| employed relief the city of New York unemployed of the city to the most degrading scheme seen here since the crisis be- ‘The bubble of the Emergency Work Bureau, which was to supply jobs for all, has burst. The over 100,000 workers, who stood in line for hours and allowed themselves to be inves- tigated and re-investigated, got no jobs. All the fanfare of sobbing Publicity and of robbing the em- Ployed for wages for these jobs has ended. A new scheme to stop the workers from demanding relief was Over 1,000 investigators have been transferred to ine Home Relief Bu- reau and their wages cut from $30 to $24. A horde of parasitica] super- intendents and other officials by grace of Tammany with $35 to $50 salaries are taking the biggest part of the relief funds. A worker applying at the Bureau for aid is confronted with an inves- tigation blank, which includes ques- tions as to his former wife’s name, wages of near relatives, religion and the whole string of questions that usually accompany such investiga- tions. Investigators stand around doing nothing, but the workers must stand in line for hours. But this only starts the inquisition, ‘Two days later an investigator ar- rives armed with a new string of questionnaires. Some of these are repeats, in order to get the starving worker to contradict himself. But how he has to present written evi- dence that he has been im the state for at least two years and in the city for one year. It matters not whether you have spent all your life here, if you haven't the written proof yor are ineligible. And should you be starving to death but less than a year in New York—there is no help. If the person has received any sort of help, be it a few dollars’ worth of old clothes or the like, from any other agency, the case is taken off the list and referred to the agency. Cases eligible for the Veterans’ Bu- reau are also not handled. If it is at all possible to pass the buck, it matters not whether the other agency is bankrupt or unwi!- ling to give the starving family a cent of aid, the case is dropped im- mediately. But notwithstanding all these tricks and buck-passing, thou- sands of starving families do man- age to get past the investigation. Then the working-class family is faced with the most revolting part of the whole thing. The investigator leads the appli- cant for relief to the grocer and there, within the presence of every- one, “advises” what foods and what price may be bought. For this pur- pose each investigator has been sup- plied with a complete list of what to recommend. Soaps and medicines are not included. If the grocer car- ries no meat, then the family gets no meat. $1.60 For An Adult For Week. ‘The purchases for the week aré made on this basis: Children under 2 are allowed $1.10; from 2 to 6, 90 cents; from 6 to 10, $1.15; from 10 to 12, $1.40, and adults, $1.60.

An interesting point showing how deliberate at- tempts are being made to lower the standard of living of the worker, is the fact that every investigator is given a circular of an evaporated milk company, which explains the wonders of this product, Besides this measly amount of food $25 is given for rent and 70 cents a week for lighting. The inquisition is not yet over. Percy Strauss, head of the Macy department store, which has just fired 3,000 workers, and head of the committee in charge, has organized a “secret, service squad,” whose ex- press purpose is to snoop down upon the houses of those who have gotten relief and try to catch the worker asleep or not looking for a non-ex- istent job. ‘The basic purpose of the scheme is to lead the worker on until he gives up in disgust. This is clearly shown by the fact that those workers who already passed the “Board of Examiners” in the Emergency Work Bureau weeks ago are now forced to go through the whole rigamarole once again. The unemployed workers of New York are being treated as criminals! Instead of full unemployment. insur- ance, which the capitalists owe the working class, they receive a pittance of miserable “relief.” The workers of New York are not dogs cringing for bones, no matter what tricks they are forced to go through te get them.
