Ae Daa J Miners’ { i 29 a2 MILITANT PRESSURE ROUTS HARLAN THUGS AFTER HOTEL RAID Wife Tells of Pineville March and= Meeting Seores Operator's Lies About Mines Working Full Blast Dear Comrades : Middleboro, Ky. This district is on strike 100 per cent. There are only a few places where anyone is trying to work. The picket lines are very successful and we hope they will be more so in the fature. As for the gun thugs, I don’t think they have decreased in the least. There are about 450 in Harlan County. We had the most wonderful speakings at Pineville today, Jan. 5. There were about twelve hundred on the march and about the same number that did not march. I tell you, the march and speaking was wonderful. Pressure Kouts Thugs. While the meeting was going on John Henry Blair of Harlan County jand his gun thugs raided the Con- tinental Hotel with high-powered {machine guns. The miners, aroused ‘by this act of the thugs, went to see County Judge George Vanlier in a body. They demanded that he re- | move the gunmen. He refused at first, but finally, noting the militant alr of the miners, decided that they should go. ‘This was # victory for ‘us, and the bosses all recognize. this fact. say it is terrible when people can't hold a meeting to talk about |what is honest and squarely due them. ‘The operators are fighting oti every jhand in an attempt to smash this fight of the miners. They have some of the comrades in jail and are also trying to stop relief from coming in. The operators are also trying to make people think that lots of mines are working full blast. ‘This talk is all lies. ‘We have a leaflet here that the operators put out against the Na~ tional Miners’ Union. They tell the mivers that the operators will “stand by the miners {f the miners will stand by the operators.” They say that they are the miners’ “friends and neighbors.” ‘We all know how true that is. In- deed they are such good “neighbors and friends” that they have cut the wages and forced men, women and children to starve till they cannot stand it any longer.

Henry Waller, ‘Negro worker, had been arrested and punched January 6th by the superin- jtendent of the relief station because lhe led a demonstration against a new wave of mass evictions. Waller was fined $200. During today's demonstration, a meeting was held in front of the re- Uef station. A delegation went in~’ side to present the demands which were refused. The Red Sduad de- }tained Madden, a member of the delegation, inside the relief station. The workers outside militantly de- manded his immiediate release. The cops then began an attack and the workers defended themselves heroic- ‘ally. Three cops were beaten up and. sent to the hospital. A large number of workers were hurt. One police- iman deliberately fired on a Negro worker. ‘The police arrested a large number of Negro and white workers, includ- ing Eric Becker séction organizer of the Communist Party. Later the cops raided the neigh- borhood headquarters of the Un- employed Council at 4000 South Federal Street, arresting a number of workers there. They then smashed the furniture, mercilessly beating up the workers inside, es- pecially attacking the white work- ers, The total number arrested is approximately 40. the South Side stopping them on the streets and searching them in an attempt to prevent mass mobili- zation against the terrorism. A representative of the Interna- tional Labor Defense called at the Jail demanding to see the arrested workers but was refused admittance. The police captain, however, con- firmed the reports that many of the workers were badly beaten. The Unemployed Council, the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and the International Labor Defense are issuing 50,000 leaflets calling for @ mass demonstration. The Communist Party here is fs- suing another 50,000 leaflets. The arrested and injured workers are denied the services of a doctor. This new attack is a part of the general terror here against the Negro masses on the South Side led by the notorions police cap- tain Stege and his assistant Bar- ket, together with the Chicago red squad. Stege early in 1930 con- ducted repeated raids on unem- Ployed workers’ meetings, beating up and jailing hundreds. The new attacks ate the bosses’ answer to the growing struggles a? the workers demanding immediate unemployment relief and unemploy- Ment insurance. : Among the demands of the work- ers in their demonstration before the relief station were: Rélief for single workers and young women, rec- ognition of the committee of the Police are terrorizing workers on!

Long lines of hungry workers wait hoars at these stations without ob- taining one cent or a bit of food. Walker has issued a statement de- claring he is against cutting the fan- cy salaries of the Tammany officials. At the beginning of the present eco- ‘nomic crisis, Mayor Walker raised his own pay from $20 a year to $40,000.

There the city gov- ernment is faced with complete bank- Tuptcy, There also the city adminis- tration has taken a further step against the unemployed. Not only is relief cut down but physical attacks against the unemployed and their leaders, especially against Negro workers is going on. The break-down of city relief is not a New York or Chicago matter. Reports in the capitalist press ser- vices keep pouring in telling of the bankruptcy of the relief program in nearly every city, town and village in the country. ‘There is no national relief program, the Hoover government always refer- ring unemployed workers to the “ade- quate” city relief. The severe crisis in the relief pro- grams of the cities point out more clearly than ever the necessity for mobilizing huge demonstrations on February 4, National Unemployment Insurance Day, Liberty W.

A cam- paign is being launched for food, clothes and funds for the striking miners. The Minnesota District must better the record it set during the Pennsylvania-Ohio miners’ strike, when over $1,500 was sent in and 9 carloads of food shipped, collected among the workers and farmers of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Strike relief conferences in other sections of the district will be called by the Workers International Relief during the first and second weeks of February. Communists Gain 15 P. C. Vote Lost By Socialists Many Small Strikes Thruout Germany (Cable by Inprecorr) BERLIN, Jan. 12—Sunday’s mun- icipal elections at Lippedetmold con- firmed the general tendencies of te~ cent elections, with the difference that the fascists were considerably weaker and the Communists strong- er. The socialists lost 15 per cent which the Communists gained, al- most doubling the Communist poll. The fascists gained 18,000 repre- senting a substantial gain, but not nearly as much as they expected. The center catholic party suffered @ Yeverse, losing seventeen per cent of their vote. A number of small strikes are pro-~ ceeding throughout Germany under revolutionary leadership against the Bruening-dictated wage-cuts. How- ever no large scale industries are in- volved. Police terror plus reformist treachery throttled the beginings of strikes, Frequent collisions between work~ ers and fascists have taken place during the past few days. Commun- ists and socialists fought fascists at Rennsburg which resulted in one fas- cist killed and twenty persons being wounded. In Liepsig on Sunday collisions took place in which police arrested four workers. On Sunday fascists attacked the Communist headquarters at Altona but were repulsed. The police stop- ped the workers from following their attackers. Two workers were ar- rested. Yesterday two more colli- sions took place between workers and fascists. ? Five armed fascists were arrested by police at Charlottenburg after shots were fired. Further collisions between workers and fascists resulted in three workers and an armed fas- cist being arrested. Comrade Haebich, editor of the Munich Communist Daily Neuezeit~ ung has been sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment in the fortress here, He is charged with literary treason. ‘The Communist newspaper, Daily Arbeiterzeitung, Hanover, has been suppressed until January 17 on the sharges of attacking the police. SHOOT JOBLESS TO OUST THEM FROM CITY ORE DUMP Frame Up Workers On Murder Charge BUFFALO, New York, Jan. 12.~ Following an attempt to drive away @ group of unemployed and homeless men from their miserable place of shelter by attacking them with a shot gun, Fred Hughes, 414 Auburn Avenue, watchman at the West Shore Ore dock was killed and Wal- ter Nazur, 34, unemployed world war veteran was fatally wounded by a Shot from the watchcoman’s gun. The watchman fired to kill the unem- ployed veteran. The aftermath of this affair was brought about by the reign of terror against unemployed workers by the police and boss class to suppress the militant struggle against the violent oppression that has been directed against these homeless men’ who are forced to ilve on the garbage and the garbage dumps of this city. Unsatisfled with the horrible treatment launched against these homeless men, further attacks have been made by the police who are making a series of arrests of all un- employed men. on framed-up char- ges, Stanley Broczynski, and Igna- tius Panik, two unemployed men have been arrested, and every effort is being made by the police to frame them up on charges of having mur- dered the watchman. Shortly before the murder took place, 8 unemployed men were ar~ rainged in the bosses’ court here on i EB} 60 days imprisonment. These men had been forced to find shelter on the city dump on account of their inability to find Jobs. mediate release of the tailed leaders of the Kentncky strike and the work- ers arrested in the recent mine strike in western Pennsylvaniy yoy tn.

While this sentence of slow starvation and death has been put over by the banks, and the Senate—with the House of Rep- resentatives sure to pass the twin bill of the same nature—the La Follette Committee of the Senate, and the Herbert Committee of the Senate, are still “investigat- ing” unemployment in the United States. . 4, “Father” Cox, supported by big industrial corporations like the steel trust, employing hun- dreds of thousands of foreign- born and Negro workers, by the American Legion and other fas- cist, organizations, has been hailed in Washington with open arms by Hoover and Congress as a har- binger of the joyous tidings that there exists the possibility of di- recting struggles of many unem- ployed workers inte harmless neu- tral channels, or into active oppo- sition of a fascist character to their own interests, and in the in- terests of the Hoover-Wall Street government, the banks, industrial corporations and railways, etc. 5. In Chisago the police and gangsters have just carried out another brutal attack upon the Unemployed Council and unem- ployed workers demonstrating for relief. Scores have been arrested, scores were clubbed. Negroes were again singled out for attack. 6. In Kentucky almost the en- tire strike leadership has been ar- rested and charged with criminal syndicalism. They are actually denied bail since only cash bail is to be accepted and when the stipulated $5,000 cash bail is of- fered, the amount is raised. No property bail is accepted. It is clear that the whole scheme is one for decapitating the strike and suppressing the struggle against wage cuts and hunger by the Kentucky miners and their families. Covering Betrayals ‘The fascist leadership of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor and of the Railway Brotherhoods, are using the sessions of the La Follette committee investigating unemployment in an at~ tempt to cover up their shameless be- trayals of the interests of the unem~ ployed and employed workers, and to bring forward into the spotlight such Gemagogues as Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Mayor Murphy of De- troit and others, John L. Lewis of the United “Miners, etc. “Labor” and La Follette. “Labor,” the official organ of the railway unions, devotes issue after issue to the task of deceiving its readers regarding the program of Hoover-Wall Street government and the support given this program, openly or secretly, and in many dev- ious ways, by the American Federa- tion of Labor and the Railway Broth- erhoods’ leadership, and the various “friends of labor.” The evidence regarding conditions of the American working class in this the third winter of the crisis given to the LaFollette Committee, however, Flood of Hokum Rises n Capital As Attacks On Hungry Sharpen The average working time in the mines, according to testimony before the LaFollette Committee, averages from 8 to 12 days per month with wages as low as 80 cents and $1 per day. Pinchot’s Pennsylvania. Governor Pinchot’s testimony be- fore the LaFollette Committee was valuable principally for two things. One, it showed the dead level of mass misery tn the state of which he is governor, and second, it showed that in spite of his “liberal” reputa- tion and his limitless demagogy, he has done nothing of a serious nature to relieve the unemployed or to place the cost of caring for the hundreds of thousands of jobless and starving workers on the huge corporations which rule and rob in Pennsylvania, and whose agent he ts. Pinchot stated that workers totally uhemployed in the state average 30 per cent and in some counties 35 per cent. He said nothing about the unt- versal part-time work that now pre vails in Pennsylvania ‘or of the at tacks of his state troopers on the unemployed. The number of people coming to tuberculosis clinics in Pennsylvania has imereased 30 per cent. The number on the waiting lst of tu berculosis institutions has increased 41 per cent. The number of pneu monia cases has increased 16 per cent. In Pennsylvania there are 78,000 men working on the state highways, according to Pinchot’s statement He did not mention, of course, that these workers are paid starvation wages and that the whole system of highway construction and repair is practically forced labor. For every man given a job on the Pennsylvania highways, ten apply for work. One interesting fact, however, that develops out of these statements, is that the total number of workers emplyoed on roads by the Hoover ad- ministration, after its thousands of inches of newspaper space utilized to tell of its tremendous public works program, is only 50,000. ‘The Hebert Senate Committee is devoting its main efforts to an in vestigation of unemployment insur- ance in other countries. It has not, yet found time to hear the demands of the National Committee of the Unemployed Councils. These two committees, especially that headed by LeaFollette, are sim- ply an outer line of defense for the Hoover-Wall Street government and are doing their best to create false hopes and confusion among the mil- lions of unemployed workers while the Hoover Hunger Program is put over in Congress. Billions of dollars are being ap- propriated to bolster up the big banks and increase the fortunes of the Multi-millionaires who own them. ‘The railroad companies have been given an increase in freight rates and a special financial pool has been organized for them. Class Lines Are Clearer. ‘The ;class lines are being drawn clearer and clearer in the United States. In no other country in the world is there such a rapid develop- ment of the crisis with the burdens and sufferings Of the masses in- creasing as rapidly. Renewed efforts shows Clearly why it is that there is 2 e being made to split the ranks of being carried out such @ mobiliza- la, ~yorking ¢lass. tion of labor fakers, fascists, liberals and demagogues of every description, including the clergy of the Catholic | and Protestant churches, while Wall Street and its Hoover administration | put over their hunger program with- out resistarfce in Congress. Mass Misery. Mayor Murphy of Detroit gave the following information: There were, he said, 100,000 heads of families out of work in his city. At one time 48,000 families of Detroit were on the public relief list. The banks forced a cut both in the number of persons receiving relief and in the quality and quantity of relief. Short term loans were refused to the city until the number of families on re- lief were reduced from 48,000 to 22,000 by arbitrary decision. Starving Out Workers. One hundred and fifty thousand persons, said Murphy, have left the city during the last year and a half. (That is, they were starved out,—B. D.) Murphy stated further: “We are managing relief on a survival basis. We keep them alive. We cannot do more than that without federal help. . + » Th big incomes are outside the city limite, and only the federal gov- ernment can tax them.” John L. Lewis, fascist president of the United Mine Workers, strike related at considerable length the horrible results of miners and their families which have followed his open unity with the coal operators and their local, state and national gov- Starving Miners. Lewis stated that the number of miners working in the coal industry has decreased 30 per cent, while pro- duction per man per day has in- creased 20 per cent. He estimated that 240,000 miners have been thrown out of work. “one hundred and seventy-five T.3 is the objective of all the der. jogues in Washington and this wae jhe Objective of the “Father” Cox “hunger march.” Hoover-Wall Str government and the big capi- tall. ; of this country are frightened by the rising tide of resentment and struggle by the working class. The Senate Committee hearings on “un- employment, the hypocritical expres- sions of sympathy for the workers on the part of individuals like Lewis who has spent his life betraying the coal miners, by Pinchot and Murphy and the horde of lesser lackeys and demagogues now being mobilized, are one part of the struggle against the unemployed and the working class as a whole; the organization of such anti-working class adventures as that of “Father” Cox, is another form of the capitalist offensive; a third, and @ tactic to which all others lead, in the fight against the unemployed especially, is the brutal armed at- tacks on and mass arrests of unem- ployed workers, as in Chicago. Make Meaning Clear To Masses. ‘The nteaning of all these develop- ments must and can be made clear to the millions of the unemployed. “Red Villages,” which sells for and Industry series, which sells 50 Rast 12th Street Boy, 14, Gets 1 Year Sentence for Help to Tampa Strikers TAMPA, Fla.—Charging that he was “incorrigible,” tht the working class section of Ybor City in which he lived was a “dangerous environ ment where sinister influences were at work to make children incite in surrection,” and “associating with! Communists,” Judge Welse one of the most vicious enemies of the working class, sentenced Vesper Romero, 14 year old son of a Mexican tobacco worker to one year in the state detention home at Mazriana. ‘The sentence was suspended on the condition that the boy would not join the Young Pioneers of America. Originally charged with the crime of “associating with Communists,” young Vesper made his trial the oc- casion for a splendid expose of the capitalist nature of the court. It was brought out by the judge himself that he had been trying for weeks to “convert” Vesper by attempting to make him join the church, by sending him copies of the Saturday Evening Post and Boy Scout maga sines. Among the evidence brought forward by the prosecuting attorney was 2 five cent pamphlet on the life of Martin Luther Incapable of browbeating this mil itant child, the judge bellowed forth that since neither threats nor “rea soning” could force Vesper to dis: continue his working class activity, it was necessary to confine him to the detention home where “he would be made over.” By persecuting young Vesper, the cigar manufacturers of Tampa are trying to terrorize the workers children who are standing shoulder to shoulder with their parents in the Tobacco Workers Indus n Kids Join Strike, ral strike factories last month, the children broke through the teach- ers’ line and marched out of the schools singing the “Red Flag.” The JAPANESE SPUR OM Japanese yesterday naval WHITE GUARDS « THE SOVIET UNION important city of Han TO PROVOKE (CONTINUED FROM ONE) | army officials | Red Partisans In Manchuria Vietorics announced plans ur into a huge| With the actions are aimed | sma t the Chinese masse to conv rt Port A se.
