This will be your last | chance to talk on constitutional law in Kentucky.” Evans then returned to Pineville and sent out the dispatch which was run in all capitalist newspapers say- ing that the writers had “left” Pine- ville of their own free will and that Waldo Frank and Taub had fought with each other in order to frame the deputies with assault.” The Associated Press is also charged with lying about the shooting of min- ers in Harlan County, the dynamiting of relief kitchens by Sheriff Blair's company-paid thugs, and the arrest of over a hundred miners, union leaders, and sympathizers on fraudu- lent criminal syndicalism charges. All these events, according to the writers of the National Committee, are dis- torted by the Associated Press cor- respondents in Kentucky so as to clear the agents of the coal operators of any guilt and fasten suspicion upon innocent miners. The writers say that Harry Simms, reported by the Associated Press as killed in the act of attacking a gun- without even a chance to defend him- self. He was leading a small group of miners from the writers’ truck. Other evidence against the Associ- ners about their poverty, their the brutal acts of the gun- nen, were ignored by these reporters. A movie of miners near Pineville attacked by deputies as they gathered to get food will be shown at the Sunday meeting. The film was muggled out of the county in a mid- it escape over the mountain trail, le the rest of the writers were be- ing driven out by Herdon Evans’ mob, HIT ATTACK ON FOREIGN BORN Endorse “Committee Going to Capitol Hundreds of native and foreign demonstrated on Mon- night at Webster Hall, against ne deportation policy of Hoover and is being sent by the Com- mittee for Protection of the Foreign Born and the International Labor ti-foreign-born bills.

Foster, national secretary for U.L. and Michael Gold, American novelist, who also made the appeal to raise funds for the delegation. The audience heartily applauded, as the Chairman, Saul Horwatt, Sec- retary N.Y. District Com. introduced a delegation of the striking dress- makers to greet the meeting. Wm. Jackson, a Negro worker, greeted the meeting in the name of the thousands of striking dressmak- ers, who pledged their support to the Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born All speakers emphasized the im- portance to broaden out the move- ment for protection of the foreign born, and called upon organizations to affiliate and to raise funds for the delegation, A resolution in support of the de- legation to be sent to the Immigra- tion Committee of the United States Congress and a telegram to secretary of Labor, Doak, demanding the re- lease of Edith Berkman and Jean Giambatista was unanimously ad- opted.

All Bakers Called to United Front Meeting, Friday NEW YORK. — The Bakers United ;|record at the Cameo Theatre, now | Socialist Squirms Out of Defending Betrayal of J obless | NEW YORK—Answering the re-| st made by the Downtown Unem- | ployed Council, that he participate in @ symposium on Unemployment Insurance together with represent- atives of other political parties, at yesant Casino, on March 6, Au- | ust Claessens, former Socialist As- | semblyman, infamous socialist mis- | leader, wrote the following, “I wish | to inform you that we have neither | the time nor the inclination to par- ticipate in such meeting as you sug- | gest for the one and only reason that we do not care to waste time debat- | ing or arguing with Communists. I] am also replying in behalf of the New Lealed.” The brazen insolence of this muck- raker, as spokesman for the corrupt misleadership of the honest workers in the socialist party is typified when he states that he also replies for the yellow New Leader. The New Leader has been more vicious than even the capitalist press, in a campaign of lies and slander against the Soviet Un- ion, and in proudly extolling the merits of the Wisconsin State Un- employment Insurance Bill, which assures a small part only, of the unemployed, of $1 per week for 10 weeks, beginning six months from today. ‘The Downtown Unemployed Coun- cil announces that it is going into the local branches of the socialist party, and appeal to the rank and file workers for support for the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, as proposed by the National Hunger March delegates in Washing- ton, D.C.

FIGHT EVICTIONS IN UPPER BRONX NEW YORK. — A mass deminstra- tion will be held Saturday at 3 p. m. in front of 933 Arno Avenue in the Upper Bronx to fight evictions which the landlord is trying to force against the leaders of the Tenants’ Commit- tee. The tenants have been organized to fight for rent reductions, in view of the recent victories of rent strikes in the Bronx, and the landlord has got- ten out dispossess orders against the leading tenants in the struggle. There are 40 tenants in the building and the landlord has threatened to close up the house. ‘The Unemployed Council of the Up. per Bronx is mobilizing unemployed workers for the demonstrations on Saturday to stop the evictions.

So successful has been the adaption of super-imposed English titles on this Russian talkie, that the manage- ment announces that hereafter all foreign language films shown at the Cameo will follow this method of pre- sentation. All fear that Russian talkies would not be as successful as their silent predecessors has been allayed by the tremendous success of “Road to Life” and the Cameo now announces that several outstanding Russian pictures including “Close Ranks”, “Golden Mountains”, “Soil Is Thirsty” |and “The House of the Dead” will be pre- sented on its screen this season. “Road to Life” is the drama of the homeless waifs of Russia and their transformation into socially use- ful citizens.

On Monday 50 workers were to be tried on charges of “unlawful picket- jing” by Magistrate Sabitini in the Coney Island court. Sabitini at this time approached the workers with honeyed words of a liberal. He said in a dripping voice that he under- stood the conditions of the workers and went so far as to make a gesture of reproaching the bosses for keep- ing up prices when everything is cheaper, Then he made a proposi- tion. If the workers should settle the strike at 13 cents for two pounds of bread he would dismiss the cases, The demands of the workers are five cents. Since they only buy one pound at a time the kind judge would have them pay seven cents. There can be pre-arranged with the bosses. ‘The workers were not fooled. They no Coubt that the magistrate had this understand the capitalist court is no workers’ friend. They were in court to test whether they had a right to peaceful picketing they told the judge and demanded immediate trial. Fur- thermore they told him, they would not settle without the consent of all the workers in the strike. Thereupon Sabatini dropped his liberal mask. He refused to give the workers an immediate trial and post- poned proceeding until Feb. 29. ‘Today, 36 more workers were tried on the same charges, There was no semblance of the judge's “liberality” of yesterday. The judge came out in his true colors, without liberal dec- orations, as a servile servant of the bosses. He sentence four workers to jail. Anna Kaplan, a housewife and a mother of two children, five days and Dora Sancoff, also with children at home, the same sentence. N. Shiek, one day for distributing leaf- lets. Gilbert Fain was held under. $1,000 bail for special sessions court on the frame-up charge of assault. ida Fine, a leading striker, is facing the ‘same frame-up charge. The bosses hope by jailing the leading strikers, the bread strike will be smashed. Sabitini, in fear of mass pressure and resentment, is resorting to a sly strategy in sentencing the workers, which isn’t fooling anyone. He sen- tences them two or three at a time, postponing the other cases for var- ious dates, fearing the consequences if he dared to sentence 36 or 50 work- ers at a time, The strike has become even more political with the use by the bosses of government officials. News has leaked out that Alderman Ryan has personally asked the police captains to put more pressure on the strikers and called on the “Radical Squad” to assist. ‘The workers know, however, that these acts of the bosses and their servants are acts of desperation and fear. The strike continues as strong as ever. “We will fight until we win,” say the militant workers of Brigh- ton. “We want bread prices re- duced and we aim to get it.” Such spirit deserves support of all work- ers. Join the picket line. WIN RENT STRIKE IN BROWNSVILLE NEW YORK—In the last few weeks the Brownsville Unemployed Council has conducted a number of successful rent strikes. On the block of Hinsdale St. be- | tween Livonia nad Riverdale Aves, 32 houses with 279 tenants have won reductions in rent of 75 cents to $1 per room, no evictions and recogni- tion of the block committee. After a struggle which lasted three weeks the last two stubborn landlords were forced to come to the committee and give the same conditions that were in the rest of the block, in addition to paying $15 for expenses of the strike. During the strike many demon- strations were staged before the landlords’ homes and stores, numer- ous open air meetings were held on the block and daily picketing was carried on by the tenants. This block is one of the many in the Brownsville and East New York where rent strikes are being con- ducted, At 83 Riverdale Ave. the landlord got an injunction against picketing and the tenants were or- dered by the court to get out within 24 hours. In spite of the injunction the strike remained solid and the jJandlord had to call the committee for a settlement. At 518 and 326 Pennsylvania Ave. the landlord is trying to break the strike by the use of the injunction. In 521 Powell St. the Socialist Ten- ants League tried to get control of the strike and to get $1.30 from each tenant, but the tenants were not fooled by the fine phrases of Gitlin, the manager of tife Tenants League, and are continuing the strike with the Unemployed Council. ‘The Brownsville Unemployed Coun- cil is now located at 646 Stone Ave,, and calls upon all workers to come and help in the fight against injunc- tions. of “The Final Edition”, co-features Pat O'Brien and Mae Clarke.

Dinner In- MASS UNITY MEET AT COOPER UNION HAILS UNITED FRONT STRIKE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) company union heads, krge numbers rallied to the parade. ‘The parade ended at Cooper Union where a most enthusiastic meeting was held. Stamper, member of the} International, was chairman. Gross- man and Rosenberg, members of the International, explained the charac- ter of the fake strike. The call to go} to the shop strike committees was} hailed with intense enthusiasm. A large number of rank and file workers from the I. L, G. U. partici- pated in the discussion, They told of the hardships of the dress shops im- posed upon them by the bosses through the assistance of the Inter- national officials, They exposed the fake strikes of 1929 and 1930, which were directly responsible for the ter- rible conditions in the trade. They called for a consolidation of a strong united front, to smash the fake unions and win better conditions in the dress trade. Ben Gold, secretary of the United Front Strike Committee, took the} floor in the discussion. Following a scathing expose of the sell-out policy | of the I. L. G. W. U., Gold called a| strengthening of the united front for | joint action. A Negro worker, member of the International for 15 years, made a splendid speech in the discussion ex- posing the methods used by the Schlesinger clique to sell out the workers Steps toward unity in picketing were made. A mass unity picket demonstration was called for tomor- row noon in the garment center. A resolution adopted by the work- ers said: “We, the dress strikers, members of the I. L. G. W. U., members of the Needle Trades Industrial Union and non-union workers, gathered at Cooper Union, declare that we workers have no quarrels with each other, that our interests are the same, to win better condi- tions in our trade, so that we can earn a better living for ourselves and families. “We pledge to do everything in our power to make an end to the division and split in the ranks of the dressmakers >~d help to unite all the strikers under one rank and file leadership, elected by the | strikers, to carry on the struggle for improvement of our conditions. “We know from experiences of the 1929 strike of the cloakmakers which was called and organized with the consent and assistance of the bosses, as well as the strike of 1930 in the dress irade. These were not strikes in the interests of the workers, but on the contrary brought about the present miser- able conditions in the dress trade, “We see that the present strike of the International has been or- ganized in the same manner. With the assistance of the bosses, the of- ficials of the International will | soon announce that the strike is settled in City Hall just as the strike in 1930 and it will bring even more miserable conditions for the dressmakers, “We condemn such a Strike. In order to defeat the fake settlement and to improve the conditions of the workers we pledge to begin to elect shop and block committees | and take the leadership into our own hands.” The meeting then proceeded to elect a committee of 50 workers to go to the International strike halls | and call the workers to rally to the united front. Gains scored during the last few days by the United Front Strike Committee were extended through- out the Metropolitan area yesterday. The number of striking shops are || growing hourly. More applications for settlements are coming into the strike settlement headquarters. The strike settlement committee reports that 57 settlements have al- ready been made, The disintegration of the Schles- inger fake walkout was manifested in | the shameful lies of the capitalist | press, which in the last three days | has tried its utmost to belie and dis- count the activities of the United | Front Committee. This form of ob- struction was fully expected by the striking dressmakers and it has only added fresh impetus to the deter- mined and stubborn march toward victory. | | AMUSEMENTS THE THEATRE GUILD presents EUGENE O'NEILL’S Trilogy Mourning Becomes Electra HOMECOMING, THE HUNTED THE HAUNTED termission of one hour at 7, No Mats.
