Southern work- rs well remember the Gastonia, izabethon and other struggles. The resent strike follows directly in the tradition .of these previous battles against. the mill barons and their ‘starvation wage policy. Regie to be commended is the unity shown by the employed nd unemployed workers. This mass Se against the bosses and their jhunger government has ben due for @ long time; it has ben simmering ‘on the surface. “Let the North Carolina workers be warned of their enemies, however. Agents of the department of labor ‘will form citizens committees made ‘up of local businetsmen, bankers, ‘preachers, etc. They will try con- eae methods of ‘settling’ the strike. ‘They will bing in the Ameri- can Federation of Labor of their “Musteite little brothers to head off ‘the spreading struggle. “National gaurds, K.K-K, etc., will| try to smash the picket lines.

DEMAND Wires Stimson; Fin- land Holds Worker - ot Besa NEW YORK.—A telegram to Sec- iretary of State Stimson, vigorously \demanding immediate intervention in the illegal arrest of Matti Ienhunen, ‘american citizen held by the poli- tical police in Helsingfors, Finland, was sent Saturday by Carl Hacker, acting General Secretary of the In- ‘ternational Labor. Defense. ‘In behalf of the International La- (bor Defense Committee for the Pro- tection of the Foreign Born, Hacker declared that wireless confirmation the arrest. was received today by ‘the committee, “We placed full responsibility with Secretary Stimson for the safety and immediate release of Tenhunen,” Hacker déclared. “Tenhunen was arrested at the Helsingfors Foreign Office while seeking to obtain a visa ‘on his return from Soviet Karelia, igutonomus Finnish Republic of the Union. Investigation is being lc as to what degree was the Hel- Heads Fascist Reaction Chancellor Von Papen, whose la- test move is to draw scores of Nazi into governmental ‘and municipal positions throughout Germany, as another step in the attack on the living standards of the working class of the country. DELAY ‘DECISION ON PAPEN ACTIONS Social Democrats Aid Mock. Ceremony BERLIN, July 24.—The policy of the social-democrats to paralyze the actions of the workers in the united front fight against fascism was dra- matized in the tepid scene described as the “great constitutional battle” in the German supreme court in Leipzig, where an injunction was yesterday sought to prevent the Von Papen action in proclaiming a dic- tatorship over Prussia. A large array of pompous legal talent was mobilized to make the hollow spectacle impressive. The court early in the session let it be known that the decision in the case | would not be made for two weeks— | in the Von Papen government to de- | cide whether it would permit the| election to be held next Sunday. While this grotesque judicial pro- | cess was going on, aimed at shunt- | ing the scene of struggle from the | streets to the courthouse, Von Papen continued to push through measures | to draw in leading Nazi in high | places in the government as well as/| local civil and police officials. Side by side with this was announced the suppression of the Communist or- gan in Stuttgart and raids on work- ers’ meetings in various parts of the country. eh eae a The absence of details on the ac- tivities of the anti-fascist campaign throughout Germany, led by the Communist Party, coupled with a continuous flood of “inspired” for- efgn office propaganda in the entire capitalist press, leads to the conclu- sion that the Von Papen government is clamping down a virtual cezsor- ship upon news—a policy to which the American press is apparently | lending itself with undisguised wil- lingness.

The new date set for the drive against the hungry army of war vet- erans who have come here to de- mand their back wages comes within a few days following the 18th anni- versary of the beginning of the last imperialist war.

Ling, widow of Sun Yat- sen, and head of the Rueggs Defense Committee, yesterday issued a state- ment denouncing the persecution of Paul and Gertrude Ruegg by the Nanking government on the orders of its imperialists. The statement asserts that the cir- cumstances surrounding the end of the Ruegg hunger strike prove “com- plete corruption of the regime which for five years. have driven the Chi- nese masses to new depths of misery, | poverty and privation” and the craw- |ling subservience of the Kuomintang regime to the imperialist authorities. The statement points out that the Rueggs ended their hunger strike after they had been promised the right of bail and provisional liberty. Four nights in succession the defend- ers were ready to leave for Shanghai but were fed by promises that have not been fulfilled.
