PRODUCING ARMS AND MUNITIONS FOR WAR Freight Cars Leave New Haven Every Day | Loaded With Guns and Ammunition _ | | Mississippi University Attempts to Create War | Hysteria Among Students (By a Worker Correspondent) r 4 NEW HAVEN, Conn.—I can say with the greatest as- surity that the Winchester’ Arms Co. is producing war muni- | tions. They are again the cock of the walk here, This fac-| tory is the only one in the city that is actually producing at| the present time. These prod aiter Jay started her activities in) Manchuria, ) Those who are put to work in the | Winchester are hired in a very mys- terigus manner. Police are on duty | at all Hours at the employment buro. No one is allowed to enter unless he can show a certain card. The char-| ity brigade is supplying the cheap- est type of labor for this munition factory. Workers get as low as 20 and 26 cents an hour. Trainloads of Munitions Freight cars are leaving Winches- ter every day in the week loaded with arms and munitions. This is a well known fact to everybody here, The Winchester people say that the material is all for sporting purposes. It seems strange that this type of Wm. Green Attacks A.F.L.

The following letter comes from aj college student from Oxford, Miss. | “You want to know if there are any war preparations going on here. ‘Well, there is no war indus- try here, but there is plenty of war propaganda being spread. “At our university the young ly poisoned and prepared for war against the Soviet Union. Anti- Soviet propaganda is the order of the day. “In the chemical Practically nothing but explosives is being taught. There has been talk for sometime of closing the ! department | BARE BOSS WAR p university next year on account ot bankruptcy, The medical school, the law department, the engineers school and the -organic chemical department is to go. Inorganic chemistry, however, will still be taught. I think ne explanation is needed. This is the department that has to deal with explosives. “In the school the students aré told that the Russian Communist Party will betray the workers just like the socialists did in England and Germany. Gandhi, the betray- | er of the Indian masses, is held up as the “great liberator” of the workingclass. “AU the propaganda is of a very subtile nature. In order to pre- pare the minds of the students for a united imperialist intervention, the capitalist agents here point out that the job of the world now is to save China—to protect the Chin- ese people against Communism, “One of the professors here sent out an invitation to the students to come to the home of a notori- ous grafter whose wife was a mis- sionary in the vanguard of the im- perialists invasion into China. The meeting was called supposedly to study Chinese art, but it turned | out to be a propaganda class a- gainst Communism. | “The war propaganda, however, is not as effective as tlie bosses agents would like it to be. The expected enthusiasm for the new world war seems to hit far below | zero among the workers and stud- ents, They are becoming conscious of the fact that .a war means that | the workers will pay with their lifes blood for the further enslave- ment of themselves and their fel- low workers.” G. U. Insurance and Relief. proposal. with the cutting of 15,000 families from all relief in New York City alone, and the admission by many of- ficial leaders of relief work that the policy of local unemployment relief is bankrupt, does not so much as men- tion the terrible privations of the un- employed workers and the increasing unemployment of members of A. F. of L. unions. The letter quotes “organizer” Frayne as stating that the demand for a referendum on unemployment insurance, which fhe endorsements received to date sow would repudi- ate the decision of -the Vancouver convention against unemployment in- ; surance, is “Communistic.” It is ov this unsupported statement by Brayne that Green issues his instruc- tions to cease giving any aid to the referendum movement. No Protests From Socialists Green’s letter was read to the Cen- tral: Trades and Labor Council of New York on April 21, when a dele- gation from the Trade Union Com- mittee for Unemployment Insurance ‘and Relief asked permission to pre- sent the case fw unemployment in- sur¥yce and the referendum. They were refused permission to speak. ‘The Council, headed by Tammany ‘Mall politicians* endorsed Mayor ‘Walker's “beer parade” but without protest from socialist party delegates present, and endorsed Green’s letter e@gainst unemployment insurance and the committee working for it. ‘The’ brutal and bloody attacks by police upon workers protesting at the City Hall against the stoppage of re- Nef, likewise went unprotested by the Council and the socialist party dele- gates from various unions whose members were slugged at the City ‘Hall. Green's letter says in part: AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR Washington, D.C., April 30, 1932. (Sent to Secretaries of Nationals City Central Bodies and State Federations of Labor) Dear Sir and Brother: Recently there has come to my. attention several circulars issued by a newly formed Communistic group in New York City under the title, “New York A. F. of L., Trade Union Committee for Unemployment In- surance and Relief.” The various circulars which are now in my possession list a num- ber of local unions of affiliated Na- tional and International Unions as being part of this organization. L. ‘Weinstock is one of the active mem- bers and officers. I requested our New York repre- sentative, Organizer Frayne, to give tions to this committee.” The Communist are attemptin, to conceal theis selationship to this . organization because they wish. to. deceive the organized labor move- ment. I am sending this letter to warn all officers and members of organ- ized labor against this movement. I respectfully recommend that’ you have nothing whatever to. do with this movement, that you ad- vise members of the organized la- bor movements to have nothing whatever to do with it, and that you eall upon any local organiza- tion or any members of organized labor associated with it or who may be giving it active or passive sup- New Wave of Wage Cuts in Oakland, Cal.

These attempts |have been unsuccessful to date be- cause of the intense imperialist an-| many arising out of the Versailles Treaty and the robber terms imposed upon the German people by the vic- ‘tors in the imperialist war of 1914. The atetmpt a few weeks ago of the Polish tools, Stern and Vassiliev, to assassinate the German Ambasésa- dor at Moscow was part of the cam- paign of the imperialists to disrupt relations between Germany and the Soviet Union and bring Germany into the anti-Soviet front. Vassi- Jiev and Stern both admitted this in their confessions and in thein state- ments on the witness stand. In the attempt on the life of the German Ambassador, the counsellor of the German Embassy was wounded when Stern mistook him for the German Ambassador. In its struggle for peace, the Sovief Union sentenced the two war plotters to death. Previous to his secret conference with the British and German min- isters, Stimson held a secret confer- ence the day before with Tsuneo Matsudaira, Japanese delegate to the League of Nations Assembly. Yesterday White Guard tools of the Japanese attacked and beat two members of the Soviet’ Consulate at Harbin, Manchuria, and raided ‘the ‘|apartment of another Soviet citizen. Police of the Japanese puppet state in-Manchuria arrested another Soviet citizen, an employee of the Chinese Eastern Railway, on a charge of hay- ing dynamite in his possession.’ The Japanese at thé same time re- opened the issue of the atetmpt a few weeks ago to blow up the Sun- gari River bridge on the Chinese Eastern Railway, jointly operated by China and the Soviet Union.

Instead, the Foreign Office declared that “if all information a thand were made known it would convince the world that Communist Russians were re- sponsible for the recent train wreck.” Asan excuse for the failure to back up its statement with proof, the Japanese Foreign Office stated it would be “premature” to give out fur- ther information at present. In the meantime, three additional Japanese Army brigades were rushed of fighting insurgent Chinese troops. At the same time, the British Ameri- ¢an imperialists in Shanghai, South China, were reported pushing a plan by which the Kuomintang” betrayers of China would concede to the Japa- nese demands at Shanghai and thus enable the Japanese to transfer a large number of troops now at of the clear-cut evidence that the at- tempt was carried out by White Communists Nominate State Ticket MINNEAPOLIS, M i n n.—The Comunist Party has nominated as its candidate for Governor William Schneiderman, Minnesota district organizer of the Party.
