GARIBALDI MEET Workers Provoked In- to Fight By Mis- leaders An antifascist worker, identified as S. Arena, Italian, was killed at the St. George Ferry Terminal as he was alighting from a train filled with other Italians returning from a stormy commemoration of Giuseppe Gari- baldi in Rosebank. He was shot in the back of his head with a 32 cal- ibte revolver. The murder is an aftermath of two clashes between anti-fascist workers misled by Carlo Tresca, anarchist adventurer, and members of the Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy, This is a mass organization compris- ing several thousand workers, but is led by Italian-American fascists. Qarlo Tresca and Gerolamo Val- ente, the business manager of an Italian social-fiscist paper printed heré, organized. a+ demonstration to commemorate Garibaldi at the home where he lived while in the United States. Garibaldi was a factor in the war for the unification of Italy. The Grand Lodge of the Sons of Italy had also organized 2 comme- Moration of the “Italian Washing- ton,” as some of the self-styled anti- fascist leaders called him. This or- Banization is in charge of the house where Garibaldi lived. Poisoned by the mischievous pro- paganda of their leaders, the anti- fascist workers and the workers be- longing to the Lodge of the Sons of Italy fought against each other, ‘Many were wounded and had to be brs 5 to the Hospital. 80 were ar- rested.

The pioneers, pre- ceding the auto in which Ford was taken to Pythian Hall, drove thru the main streets singing revolutionary songs and shouting “Vote Communist for Unemployment Insurance and against Wage Cuts.” Earller Jammed Court Two hundred workers paid admis- sidn to hear Ford. Earlier in the day many of them had helped to jam the city court room where Ceres Willis, a Negro worker, was being tried on a charge of intimidation with intent to kill because ne hed tried to organize the laborers constructing the Long Ridge state road against a 10 hour day at thirty cents an hour. Ford cited this as an example to show that the Democrats, who are in power in Connecticut, carry out the same capitelist hunger program as the Republicans, The beautiful trees and the fine green lawns of Stamford cannot hide the suffering of the unemployed and part time workers. The chief in- dustry in this town of 45,000 in- habitants is lockmaking, centering in the Yale and Towne Lock Co. of the 8,000 formerly employed, only 700 to 800 left. One Yale and Towne worker told Ford she makes a dollar a day. She got a cut again and again and 35 were laid off in her room alone, leaving only 3 girls. Three years ago the present state Commissioner of Labor Tone, who is now shedding hypocritical tears over the sweatshops of New Haven, was accused by the workers of Yale and ‘Towne of robbing them of ever $3,000, under the pretense of organizing them into the A. F. of L. Tone collected initation fees from thousands of workers, promising to lsad them in Strike. The day on which the strike was to heve taken place, Tone left town. During the shopmen’s strike on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, the workers dis- covered that Tone was the payroll of the railroad company. The Demo- cratic Party and the bosses rewarded him for thes¢ services by making him state Commissioner of Labor. Forced Labor for Relief One young worker told Ford about the miserable relief given to the un- employed workers @? Stamford. Every morning, the state cops go up to the town hall and take the workers waiting there to do outside work to make up for their relief “check” of about $4 for “four days work each week. The workers are virtually prisoners. Foster to Speak in Kansas City Friday KANSAS CITY, 1i9.—Wm. Z. Fos- ter, Communist candidate for Pres- ident will speak here Friday at the International Arena at 8 p. m. There are at least 40,000 children, women and men in Kansas City suf- fering want. Only measly amounts are handed out by the charities. The Ford plant some time ago was opened up with a good deal of trump- eting. It was said that 1,000 were hired. However, these workers do not work full time but only two or thre: days a week at starvation wares. The packing house workers here are getting wage cut upon wage cut and stagger system is used against them. A drive is being made among these workers to get them to the Foster meeiing. PHILA F, 8. U. MEET PHILADELPHIA, Pa—An open membership meeting of the Philadel- phia Friends of the Soviet Union wil! be held Thursday evening, July 7, 1932 at Boslover Hall, 701 Pine St., at 8 p. m. Norman Talentire of the National Committee of the Friends of the Sov- fet Union is coming to report to the meeting. puppet government.

Health Declines The health of the Schenectady WHITE WORKERS DEFEND NEGRO Communists Lead Fight on Terror CHICAGO, July 5.—Another battle in the class war has been won. Suc- cessfully defying police terror, five hundred white workers demonstrated on Friday, June 17 in front of 1248 South Fairfield Avenue, where a Ne- gro worker's home had been bombed by @ white hooligan neighbor under the influence cf bosses’ propaganda. Walter Grant the Negro worker lived in Chicago all his life. He demand in no uncertain terms that We must demand that food pe furnished us by the government and that the war funds be used for unemployment insurance.

This’ un- employed worker is old and in poor health, started to work at the age of 15 for @ painter and decorator, but was barred from the painters’ union be- cause of his color and the anti- working class policy of the A. F. of L. At no time was he able to earn money to set aside for a “rainy day,” and for the last two years he and his family, consisting of his wife and 7 children have existed on the near- starvation diet of the charities. Grant has lived for the past 10 years on the West Side, and has never had trouble w:'> his neighbors, workers like himself, About May ist of this year he moved to 1248 So. Fairfield Avenue, and a next door white neighbor, Reuben Tallman, began to harass him, Tallman circulated a petition for the removal of the Negro family. ‘Those who signed were mostly land- in all big industrial plants, the in- jured worker has to fight for his; claim.

Welfare Tactics The tactics of the welfare depart~ ment here are exactly the same as! elsewhere; the investigators do every- | thing they. can to prevent the money For many years engineers, machin- lists and skilled workers in the Gen- eral Electric Works worked and saved. They built little homes and saved against that “rainy day.” Four years ago the G. E. began to lay off. Two years ago only half the workers were employed, and today thousands of skilled workers are living on the last of their savings with no idea of what they will do when everything is gone. Hundreds have moved away in the vain hope of finding jobs elsewhere. Hundreds of families have doubled up to save rent and light. Hundreds of American skilled ma- chinists are losing their little homes through foreclosures; their savings are gone; they are turning to the city for relief.” The city welfare depart- ment is wise enough to give them a little rélief to keep them from joining |the unskilled workers and laborers in the struggle to keep alive. But the few dollars some of them receive is not enough, and the result is that these American workers, who are told to keep away from the foreign born, will more and more throw in .their lot with the unemployed masses in. the city. ‘This Trial by Workers; | Race Hatred Is Charge | Made In Hammond (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) had not conducted sufficient strug- gles for Negro rights in Hammond. The defendants then testified, de- claring that they recognized their mistakes and pledged to prove in the future that they are no longer poi- soned with chauvinistic ideas, Bring In Verdict. The workers’ jury then brought back the following verdict: 1. That all comrades accused are guilty. 2. That their statements are in- sufficient, but that they will have to prove their sincerity during the com- ing month by each recruiting one Negro youth into the Y.C.L., by car- rying on special activity among Ne- gro youth in connection with the) Scottsboro campaign and the local struggle for Negro rights. 3. That the comrades who testi- fied should be removed from all lead- ing posts until they prove by carrying out the above that they are not white chauvinists, 4..
