La Guardia brought cancelled checks signed by a Wall St. publicity agent, Plummer and paid to the financial authorities of the New {Evening Post of New York, the Wall lyork ‘Times, The Herad-Tribune, Street Journal, the new merged Evening Mail and Financial America. These impartial writers of the paper that “prints all the news that fits to prin” and he other dispensers of knowledge ‘‘free from propagnda” were paic for booming socks in the years before the crisis made booming impossible.

A inass meeting was held after the furniture had been put back, and bow} one hundred workers partici- (pate) in it. All pledged to fight against evictions, for immediate re- lief and for social insurance. he started to write an expose of the methods he has used and others are using in influencing the press. Then he was immediatey last January ar- rested and indicted. This action being an indication that it wasn’t a few “hands” of the press but powerful men in the financial structure of America who were mixed up. Recently the president of the New York Stock Exchange, Whitney, was @ witness before the same Senate Committee. His testimony was in- tended to prove that organized short- selling and the publicity methods used were minor matters and that those responsible for inflating stock market prices were the purchasers of the stock. LaGuardia’s testimony counter-acted this. An example of the extent of pub- Street brought is the case of the Savage Arms Co. Here 605 stories appeared in 228 newspapers with a circulation of eleven million in 157 cities. The money was not paid di- rectly. La Guardia said that “All of these checks were made out to cash and given to the pay-off man who gave the money to financial writers who were ticklish about taking checks. The bribing of the financial writers is only one instance in the prostitu- tion of capitalist journalism. The whole truth of the innocent. looking newspapers which are active prop- aganda agents of the ruling class will never be exposed by these capitalist Politicians.

Marching to the music of the Na- tional Textile Workers Union band, 500 Negro and white workers paraded through the working class sections, shouting appropriate slogans in the different working class neighborhoods ‘The parade ended up in Garfield, held. ary program w: Spirited May 1 March in Paterson Answers Daisy Mad Socialists PATERSON, N. J.—Three hundred fifty workers demonstrated in a drenching rain despite police efforts to smash the May Day parade here. The demonstration held after the} parade, completely blocked the traf- fic. Speakers addressed the work- ers from a low roof. Posters and cari- catures with the slogans “Free Tom Mooney,” “Defend the Soviet Union,” “Demand Unemployment Insurance,” “Free the Scottsboro 9,” “Defend the Paterson 5,” etc., worked in harmony with tumultous cheering and singing in the parade led by the National Textile Workers Union Band. A re- volutionary program and concert was held in Turn Hall at night. The militant demonstration in spite of a heavy downpour, calling upon the workers to struggle against bosses war, to defend the Soviet Union, and to fight for Unemployment Insurance and against wage cuts, served as @ revolutionary answer to the Socialist Party. The S. P. has issued a leaflet in the Jewish language which told whoever read it that May Day was Nature’s Day, when the workers “celebrate the first rosebuds, welcome the blossoming flowers” and other such claptrap. The leaflet was signed addition to the Socialist Party and the Associated Silk Workers by the Purity Cooperative Bakery, the bosses of which are mostly owners of silk mills, and also members of the So- cialist Party. The workers in the Purity Co- operative, who had joined the So- cialist Party because they had been mislead into believing it would avoid them wage cuts, were handed a 15 per cent slash a few days before May 1. On Saturday before May Day, the workers struck. ‘The Socialist Party stands exposed through the strike of the workers in Purity and through the comparatively huge May Day demonstration. The attempts of the Socialist Party to drag down the tradition of May Day @s a day of struggle into a mere “holiday to greet the flowers” goes hand in glove with that of the bosses, who through the New York Times printed an editorial on May Day also gushing forth beautiful words about May Day, “Nature’s Day.” The fact that the workers were able to march through the strets of Pater- son without having their parade at~ wacked by the cops is in itself a vic~ | tory for the workers and their leader, ‘90| the Communist Party, for since the last strike every large scale demon- | stration has been attacked.

District Committee to All Revolutionary Workers, Negro and White (Statement by District Committee) On Saturday, May 7th, all over the world workers, white and Negro, will demonstrate for the unconditional immediate \release of the nine Scottsboro Negro boys. These Negro boys, framed up on a vicious charge and sentenced to the electric chair by the Alabama courts, must be saved from death. ‘ ‘There is no hope in justice for the¢———____________ American workers, and particularly the Negro workers Only the mass organization and mass action of the workers will save the nine Scottsboro boys,, as that alone will save Tom Mooney from a living death in San Quentin penitentiary, May 7th must ring all around the world with the challenging demand by the workers of this country that the nine Scottsboro boys shall not die. ‘This cannot be accomplished mere- ly by demonstration. But the dem- onstration on May 7th must be the beginning of organization in every shop, union and neighborhood, build- ing up of the International Labor Defense and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights so that the boss class of this country will know that neither they nor the white and Negro misleaders of the National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Colored People supported by the Socialist Party will be able to send these boys to their death, The enemies of the white and Negro workers declare that the Communists FURRIERS MEET TODAY AT NOON To Demand E Release of 3 Strikers NEW YORK.—A huge open air meeting will be held today, 12 o'clock noon in the fur market, W. 29th Stret and. Seventh Avenue, where the present situation in the fur trade, the reasons for the mass unemployment will be discussed and a plan of action formulated. On Wednesday, at 2 p. m., @ mass meeting of unemployed workers will be held at Irving Plaza. All unem- left. wingers, Negro and white are called upon to come to this meeting ployed fur workers, right wingers, where there will be a thorough dis- cussion on the plans presented by the United Front Committee to fight against the preesnt unemployment in the fur trade and for relief for the unemployed, Woll and McGrady through press- ure in Washington have forced the hearing on the Jack Schneider case. Tt was learned in the office of the Industrial Union that the bureaucrats of the A. F. of L. have brought press- ure to bear in Washington to force the action in the case. Jack Schnei- der was informed that the hearing in his case is to be held on Wednes- day at Ellis Island. The Schneider Defense Committee has engaged B, Shorr as the attor- ney to defend Jack Schneider. In order to fight this attempt to deport Jack Schneider which is the be- ginning of a campaign of deporta- tiontion of militant workers in the fur trade by Woll and McGrady it is necessary to put up the strongest defense of Jack Schneider. The De- fense Committee therefore calls upon all workers to rally to the defense of, Jack Schneider and to raise funds. ‘The Schneider defense lists which have been handed out must be turned in at once so that the necessary funds must be raised to fight this case, To Demand Strikers Release ‘While the convention of the I, L. G. W. U. today has been opened by Governor Pinchot and the capitalist mayor of Philadelphia, three workers have been sent away to the peniten- tiary as a result of these provoca~ tions. The United Front Committee at its meeting last night decided to begin a mass campaign among the dressmakers, especially the members of the I. L. G. W. U. to bring about the release of these workers whose only crime is that they are fighting in defense of their working-class in- terests. A defense committee was set up whose purpose it will be to get signatures among the members of the International and to develop @ mass campaign to force the re+ lease of these workers. Dressmakers are called upon to sign this petition and to take the matter up in their shops and to exert every possible .effort to bring about the release of these workers. A huge protest meeting has been organized by the United Front Com- mittee for today, 12 o'clock, in the garment center where the facts about An open forum discussion on the T. U. U.

This is a lie. Only those who have shown them- selves to be open enemies of the working class—the bosses, the A. F. of L. leaders, the “Socialist” party, and the misleaders of the N. A. A C P, not only in word but in action— dare make this statement We declare that the mass action organized only under the leadership of the Communist Party, the Inter- national Labor Defense and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights has thus far saved these boys from burning in the electric chair, and only further organization and broad_ er, more militant mass’ action will eventually save them from the bloody hands of the boss class of this country. In New York gemonstrations will be held in all sections of the city. Particularly in Harlem, the workers will mobilize andd emonstrate. These demonstrations must be a mass as- semblage of white and Negro workers, determined that they will fight for the release of the nine Scottsboro boys. ‘We call upon all white and Negro organizations that wish the Scotts- boro boys released and are ready to come out in struggle for their release to mobilize their forces for these dem- onstrations so that the bosses will know that any attack upon the Negro workers—evictions, denial of relief, persecution, jimcrowism and segrega- tion—will have to cease. This is the beginning of a big campaign to put an end to lynching in this country. The workers of New York are deter- mined in joined ranks, shoulder to shoulder, to fight to put an end to this terror against the Negro people. All out Saturday, May 7th, for the release of the Scottsboro Negro boys! In order to defend the Soviet Union you must défend it also against the propaganda attacks of the capitalists.

City to Cut Wages of All Home Relief Workers, It Is Said NEW YORK. — All Home Relief workers are to take one day off each week, it was announced here. This will amount to a wage cut of $3.00 for some workers and of $4.00 for others, The cut will go into effect tomorrow. Mayor Walker had all Home Re- lief workers take one day off last week to celebrate the Washington anniversary, and now he compells them to do the very same thing, without pay of course, to pay for the saturnals of the hizh city graft- ers. All Home Relief workers and rank and file employees of the emergency work bureau are to be transferred to the city pay-roll. The Emergency ‘Work Bureau is to be entirely closed. Many workers will be fired tomorrow as “incompetent”, it was stated. The lay-off has already affected many emergency workers in the pub- Uc Ubraries and other institutions. Tt is estimated that 2 or 3000 girls ‘| have been fired recently in the public libraries of New York. The food budget of the workers has again been cut down. The City Social Club will have a mass meeting Wednesday, 7:30 p. m., in the Labor Temple, 14th Street and 2nd Avenue, to take up the problems of these workers and put up a fight against the wage cuts and the lay-offs. All Home Relief work- ers and employees of the Emergency Work Bureau are urged to attend this meeting. Mass organizations, get into revolutionary competition to save Daily Worker, ACME THEA. eis eae cst ae employment insurance. On Friday, April 29th, Deputy In- spector McAuliffe testified against Powers who is accused of “inciting to riot.” He repeated the excuse made to the delegation of the Unemployed Councils, unions and other workers’ organizations on Thursday, April 21st when the delegation tried to present a petition of demands of unemploeyd relief to the Mayor and the Board of Estimate, “the Mayor is out and you can't go in!” Mayor Could not Be Bothered Defense Counsel Tauber of the In- ternational Labor Defense then got the admission from McAuliffe that he “didn’t know whether the Mayor was in or not.” McAliffe didn’t dare to “know” that dancing Jimmy was out after it was shown that he had received a delegation of more than 100 Boy Scouts who came to show Walker the footprints of some ani- mals. Upon further examination by ‘Tauber, McAuliffe stated that the reason he refused to admit the un- employed delegation was that on April 18th or 19th, Judge McAndrews, Walker's secretary instructed him not to admit the unemployed delegation because the Mayor could not be bothered with them! 2 Get 30 Days From the very beginning of these cases, the bitter prejudice of the magistrate, Hulon Capshaw against the worker defendants and their cause, was clearly evident. The caes of Gramatikis, a Greek worker came up first. This worker was falsely charged with striking a cop. The evidence proved that, despite the statements of the cop, the worker was innocent. It was plain that what counted in the mind of the judge Capshaw was the fact that Gramitikis was a worker and that he was for- eign-born. Capshaw lost no time in sentencing Gramatikis to 30 days in jail and recommendinghisdeportation jail and recommending his deporta- tion. Walter J. Stack, member of the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union, came into court with his head plas- tered and with the marks of a brutal beating on his face. The judge re- fused to “see” these marks, though Stack was brought within a foot of him. Capshaw, however, had not the slightest difficulty in “seeing” marks on the cop who arrested Stack and falsely accused him. When the de- fense lawyer exposed the lying state- ments of the cop, the judge imme- diately rushed to the aid of the uni- formed thug, prompting him and steering him out of difficulty. The judge even scabbed on the district attorney when he was not satisfied with this official's failure to trap the worker. LWitnesses Lie Whenever Defense Attorney Tau- ber scored a point or caught the police witness in outright lies, the judge, got furious. He would then accuse the defnse lawyer of talking too loud, of not having respect for the court, of addressing himself to the courtroom spectators etc. Capshaw airly outbid himself when the defence brought out the fact that workers who were arrested in the City Hall demonstration were beaten up with clubs and blackjacks by the police and detectives, both outside and inside City Hall, their blood lying in pools on the sidewalk and in the; corridors of City Hall, that the mop used to clean up this blood was swung by the police into the faces of the bleeding workers with the brutal remark “Here’s your relief, you son- of-a-bitch!” When such evidence was being shown, the judge called for the clearing of the courtroom in order to conceal the murderous Walker-Tam- many Hall bosses hunger program against the unemployed. Even in the presence of a half-filed courtroom, Capshaw didn’t have the nerve to sentence Stack, the militant young marine worker, but with lowered head this Tamany tool muttered, “Guilty, remanded to jail, sentenced to be pronounced later.” Despite the efforts of the judge to telp them the police contradicted themselves and each other. For in- stance in the case of Powers,. Sec- retary of the Building and Construc~ tion Workers’ Industrial League, McAuliffe testified falsely that he had offered to escort the delegation inside City Hall upon their showing a petition. Namack, a detective, on the other hand stated that, McAuliffe had demanded a permit from the delegation. In sentencing Stack, the judge had expressed such bitter hate for the workers and their cause, that defence counsel Tauber presented an affidavit demapding the withdrawal of Capshaw from the cases, which Capshaw refused to consider. Two of the workers in these cases, Gramatikis and Ferraro, face depor- | tation, the latter to fascist Italy. Stack and Gramatikis are serving 30 | day sentences. The cases of Fer- raro, Jones and Powers come up for} trial Wednesday, May 4th at 2 p.m, et Jefferson Market Court, 6th Ave end 10th St. New York City.

At 10.30 in the morning the bugler sounded the call to fall in. We all fell in as in days of old, but our march was not like in the old days; it was a different kint of a march—this time it was a march against capitalism, against the Wall St. bankers and against war. The more it rained—andit rained hard—the louder we shouted our slogans for full payment of the bonus and for defense of the Soviet Union. The more it rained the more discipline we had. Tl never forget this May Day parade. It is the most important parade I was ever in. A Veteran, wt BOSTON, Mass., Aptil 2.—Governor Ely, the Speaker and | the President of the Senate announced themselves as against unemployment insurance when a delegation of the State Hunger Marchers, after many hours, was granted admission first in the Senate and then in the Governor's office. © While the delegation was trying to see the three State officials, 500 | Hinge Marchers were lined up on the Common and separated by a line is mounted and foot police from ten thousand enthusiastic workers. A. Daniels attempted to speak but was prevented by the police, When the delegation reported that | the Governor, the Speaker and the President of the Senate had declared themselyes against social insurance, which they characterized as a “dole,” the marchers and the workers shouted their slogans, “We demand Unemploy- ment Insurance” and “We will con- tinue to fight for unemployment in- surance.” ‘Then the marchers, together with about 1,500 to 2,000 of the workers, joined the march to Municipal Hall, where some of the Hunger Marchers who went to Blackstone Park were invited to return in order to hear the report of the delegation. About 3,000 workers marched along the sidewalks. When they attempted to enter the Municipal Hall, many hundreds man- aged to get in, while the police pre- vented the others from entering. State Hunger March Conference Held The State Hunger March Confer- ence took place here last night. A presidium was elected representing all the cities and towns in the march. Two additional demands were formu- lated: first, a demand for $10 per week as immediate relief to all single unemployed workers; second, a de- mand for the abolition of the New Bedford “Poor Farm.” A resolution was passed this morn- ing denouncing the local capitalist: press for the lies published on the Hunger March. Telegrams were sent to Edith Berkman and Tom Mooney pledging to support the struggle for their unconditional release. A huge mass meeting is taking place now with hundreds of workers pres- ent. Daniels is reporting the answer of the Governor to the demands. of the unemployed workers. Dressmakers to Meet in N.Y. Wed., Thurs.
