A dozen cops attempted to break up an open air meeting of the Com- | munist Party, and only the mili- tancy of the workers prevented its break-up. The cops arrested Comrades Price and Gonschak but Comrade Landis continued speaking, pointing out to the workers that the police tried to terrorize the workers despite the fact that we had a permit for that loca- tion. We were told that we could only speak at Park Ave. and 172nd St., a deserted alley bordering a railroad yard. We moved to Washington Ave. and 172nd St. The police raised their clubs again and tried to terrorize the the workers into going to Park Ave. Comrade Landis then asked the as- sembled workers if they wanted to be forced by American democracy to speak in a railroad yard or whether they wanted to hear what fellow workers had to say. The workers thundered that they wanted to listen to workers.

Framed Up By Fish Boss, Is Sentenced to 3 Months In Jail On April 29, 1932, a boss by the name of Louis Polofsky, with his place of business at 2558 Holland Ave., the Bronx, testified and helped frame a militant striker by the name of I, Hochberg who, on the bosses’ false testimony, received three months in jail. This boss also secured an injunc- tion against the union and partici- pated in an attack on the workers at 181st St. court. Professional Scabs Witnesses Against Organizer Schneider ‘The hearing on the Jack Schneider deportation case came up in Ellis Island Wednesday. The role of the Kaufman scab agency in this sace came out clearly when the Sklar Brothers, two professional scabs who hav etestified against Jack Schneider in a previous frameup, came out as the chief witnesses. ‘The provocative role of the com- pany union was clearly brought out in their testimony in which they charge that Jack Schneider is a Com- munist, that he has terrorized the furriers, and that he demonstrated with the Commmunists on May First. They asked for a postponement of | the hearing till Friday so as to bring additional witnesses. This open strikebreaking role of the agent provocateurs of the Kauf- man company union must be an- swered b ythe furriers by rallying in masses to the defense of Schneider, which means the defense of their organize and fight for union condi- tions. 400 Workers’ Children March Demand Relief CLEVELAND, Ohio—About 400 workers’ children and Young Pio- neers participated in the ‘Cleveland May First demonstration, carrying banners and placards demanding free food, against the bosses' organiza- tion of the Boy Scouts and down with bosses’ Child Health Day. The Pioneers had their red ban- danas, sang the workers songs and called upon the workers’ children to join the ranks of the Young Pioneers that fights for better conditions for the workers’ children. The Pioneers from the Scovill Sec- tion raised their placarsd high, say- ing “We're Hungry, We Want Free Food.” The Pioneers from Scovill held a children’s march to Council- man Bundy on Wednesday, May 5. The march was popularized at all the meetings that were held in the Sco- vill Section to protest the legal lyncli- ings of the seven Scottsboro boys.

The majority of the 1,500 present voted for the resolu~ tion but the officialdom refused to count the vote and declared the res- olution defeated. The International Union “deputy” declared that a mass meeting was out of order. A social- ist follower said that it would “dis- rupt” the confidence of the member- ship in the officialdom!” At the last meeting of the Painters District Council when the returns of the referendum on the strike were to be taken and when the overwhelm- ing majority voted for strike the Dis- trict Council Delegates voted full power into the hand of Second Vice- President Kelly of the Brotherhood in spite of the fact that every coun- cil delegate received instructions from the locals to vote for strike and that strike committeemen had already been elected. Immediately after full power was given to Kelly, he announced the strike vote of the membership “il- legal” and said that he was going to be the boss of the situation now and that those who do not want to accept the wage cut are “trouble makers” and “Bolsheviks” and want to “de- stroy the old traditions of the union,” referring no doubt to the big bellies of the bureaucrats. Six thousand dollars salary and $6,000 expenses weigh so much on his brain that he is living completely in the past, not realizing that the time has gone forever when he and his kind can dictate to the painters who are taking control of their unions for the interests of the rank and file.

New Soviet Film “Soil Is Thirsty” Opens Today At Cameo An old Russian legend, dating back to the tenth century, forms part of the plot of the latest sound film from Russia, “Soil Is Thirsty”, which opens today at the Cameo Theatre. The picture was made on the- edge of the Kara-kuma desert, where the slight rain fall is aug- mented by deep walls which tap the underground sources of water, and supply a primitive system of irriga- tion. The plot turns on the obstacles Which the engineers encounter who come to this near-desert to provide a modern system of getting water for the thirsty land. One of these obstacles is the old legend. The people of the district be- lieve that in olden times the coun- try was fertile, because it was wa- tered by a great river. But the war- rior Tamerlane attempted to sub- due Khiva, and when he failed, or- dered his soldiers to build a series of obstructions which caused the river to sink into the sand. That the river actually did sink underground is a geologica) fact, as the engineers, both in the picture and in real life, were able to prove. This story, which is based on facts, was hajled in Russia as showing “The healthful, merry life,” and does possess the quality of enthusiasm to an unusual degree. The young en- gineers, singing and working with a will, are admirable heroes. How they conquer the forces of ignorance and “|superstition and the forces of na- ture makes one of the most inter- esting pictures to come out of Rus- sia, Coming — the Daily Worker | Straw Vote on the Bonus?

Striking Miners Local Unions of the N. M. U, and the U. M. W.

In Amsterdam, Ohio, the children get meals once a day, and only when there is something left over, a few of the hungriest miners get something to eat. There is starv- ation in many of the camps. The miners are not getting relief from the U. M. W. A. district or National office. All workers and workers’ or- ganizations and WIR branches are urged to send funds and food to help win the strike to the Workers Inter- national Relief, Room 4, Freter Bldg., Main St., Bridgeport, Ohio.
