POLICE SHOOT BONUS MARCHERS; HOOVER GOVT. CALLS OUT TROOPS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) around the building. The police deployed, advanced and fired point blank at the bonus marehers. The veterans fought back with their fists, bricks and sticks. Three veterans fell, one of them dead. The men continued to hold the building, while the police retreated and went about the work of roping off the entire area. ‘ BOO DOWN GLASSFORD Glassford attempted to speak to the veterans following the shcoting, but was booed down. He beat a hasty retreat from the area. The shooting occured when some of the veterans were go- ing up the stairs in the old building they have eecupied since they left Anacostia mud flats against the orders of W. W. Waters, self-styled high commander, Following the shooting wholesale arrests were made. A large number cf veterans were crowded in patrol wagons and hurried to jail. JOINED BY 5,000 VETS Meanwhile the vets in Anacostia learning of the attack on their buddies rushed across the 11th Street drawbridge to the seene of the battle. Fiye thousand veterans from the camp joined their buddies in the city, The rush of veterans across the bridge foiled all attempts of the police to raise it as they did last June when the bonus army marched to the Senate to demand immediate payment of the bonus, Waters in commenting on the attack today exhonerated the police, with whom he is working, and made the despicable statement that the bloody shooting was caused by the Work- ers Ex-Servicemen’s League. This ‘morning Waters attempted to address a group of veterans in the government buildings, He urged the men to gp from the buildings to the filthy, unsanitary Camp Bart- ett. John Pace, leader of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League, led a group of veterans from Camp Bartlett into the govern- ment buildings last June. GUARD WHITE HOUSE All throughout the day today the White House gates were closed. A heavy wartime guard was thrown around the pre- sident’s home: Waters clearly exposed his role as an agent of the Hoover government and an enemy of the bonus when he said today that he agreed that the vets should evacuate the government property. PREPARE MARTIAL LAW Several thousand Washington workers cheered the veter- ans for their heroic struggle. Secretary of War Hurley, in calling the troops out against the veterans, said in an official order to General McArthur: “The President has just informed me that the civil goy- 'm that it is unable “You will shave U.

Policemen drew their guns, but could not | Mayor Hoan’s government viciously attacked a demonstration of unemployed workers yesterday in front of the relief station at Fondulac and 14th St., injuring many workers. Two workers were arrested and held without charges, Many policemen were hurt and one sent to the hospital. Three injured workers are also in the hospital. The demonstration, which was led by the Unemployed Council, was called in protest against the forced labor scheme which the socialist Mayor Hoan is trying to saddle on the unemployed of Milwaukee, The council had taken several workers, including Fred Burback, father of six children, to the relief station to demand relief. Demand Relief. Burback was working on the city forced labor project for 80 cents a day, All relief was cut for Burback when he later became sick. The workers in the demonstration demanded immediate relief for the father, including milk for his chil- dren which has been stopped. Ziegler, the notorious relief station stool pigeon, ambushed Burback and had him beaten behind locked doors by policemen. The workers, hearing the cries behind the locked doors, tried to assist Burback. Fifty police attacked the workers, clubbing women and children viciously. The local press here admits the attack was planned. The workers defended themselves well against the attackers, taking the blackjacks from the police and using them on the police. frighten the aroused workers, many of whom were Negroes. The Milwaukee Leader, the paper which boasts of being the only socialist daily newspapse in America, congratulated the relief officials on the “diglomatic manner in which they handed the demonstration,” The socialist paper, in lauding this brutal act of violewte against the workers stated in its usual lying manner “at Charles Green, well known Communist leader and cand:“ate for Senator, was at the demonstration but escaped, The s#asses of workers throughout the city are rising against the new forced labor scheme which was organized by the socialist officials. The plan of the socialists puts unem- ployed to work on city scab labor jobs for a few cents a day in groceries. On Tuesday a thousand workers demonstrated in the south side of the city and demanded relief from Supervisor Michalski. Socialist Mayor Responsible. A statement issued by the Unemployed Council today holds the socialist mayor responsible for the attack on the workers and calls all workers to intensify the fight against forced labor. The demonstration on Aug. Ist, called to protest against the new imperialist war now being prepared against the Soviet Union, will elect a delegation of workers to go to the county board to protest against forced labor and hunger. The dem- onstration Aug. 1st will be held at Red Arrow Park at 2 p. m.

S. A, DIS- TRICT SEVEN, SECTION “R.” On the other hand, in the forged letterhead, it is given as UUM- MUNIST PARTY OF U. 8S. A, DISTRICT SEVEN, GRAND RA- PIDS SECTION, 2. In their zeal, the police for- gers had printed on the fake letter- head, READ THE DAILY WORK- ER, THE OFFICIAL PARTY PAPER. The genuine letterhead of the Grand Kapids organization contains no mention of the Daily Worker. What is more, the Daily Worker is never described as the | “official party paper,” but usually | as the “eentral” or “official organ of the Communist Party.” 3. The forged letterhead puts forward the slogan: “Organize the unorganized into a fighting union.” Suck a sibgan was never put forth by the police, was saved by the tion before the relief station. MICHIGAN POLICE | Seeking an Alibi for Bank Crashes (What the “Daily” Said Editorially July 6) i (OMMUNISTS are blamed for everything now-a-days. There are even sages that hold them responsible for epidemics and earthquakes. ‘When the Communists are blamed for the organization of unemployed demonstrations, for taking the leadership in the fight against wage cuts and hunger, for defending the rights of the workers, for struggling against imperialist war and organizing the workers for the eventual overthrow of the capitalist system, the capitalists are indeed correct, although here it must be stated that many spontaneous movements arise without the leadership of the Communists. By this we say not by way of depreciating our own activities, but only te emphasize the need for more aggressive leadership to the everyday struggles of the workers. But when the Communists are attacked for crashing banks and for creating bank runs, we must protest at such vile falsehoods. This slander is made by the Detroit Free Press in its editorial of June 30, when it stated that “the Communists in this country haye learned by experience that an open frontal attack upon America is bound to fall flat ... so the reds are working chiefly at under-cover programs. They spread slanderous and alarmist rumors .. . to take advantake of general de- pressed conditions,” etc. This reactionary paper goes on to say that the “Reds” are working in Oakland County, Michigan, attempting to bankrupt the one bank left open in Pontiac. ‘We must say that not only is this vicious nonsense, but behind this lurks some rotten business. How can the whispering of Communists destroy the pillars of the banking system of the United States? We know of the trumpet calls of Joshua causing the walls of Jericho to crumble, but we have not heard of whispering rumors or even shouting causing the-erashing of the banking strongholds of capitalism, uniess these banks are insolyent and, what is more, attempting by some cunning to cover up their insolyency, When that happens, there are enough people of the capitalist world to spread. the rumors of their insolvency, Not even children will believe the fable that the banks crashed because of Communist propaganda. The banks are going under as a result of the deepening economic crisis and the anarchy of the system which the Detroit Free Press has hailed as strong as the rock of Gibraltar. If the Detroit Free Press and the First National Bank of Pontiac are compelled to issue statements that the Communists are uttering malicious falsehoods in order to crash the bank, then we must say that the bankholders and other such people are simply trying to prove a bad alibi for the destruc- tion of workers’ savings. There is a proverb that when people shout “Stop thief,” one should examine closely into the integrity of the shouter, and it is not unlikely that this proverb applies to the Detroit Free Press and their banking supporters, PREPARE ATTACK ON CHINA SOVIETS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Recently on the voyage through Chenlindji, near Yochow on Lake Tungtin, one of the ships of this company made an attack on a force of the Chinese Red Army. The Shanghai “Shun Pao” reports that the Washington Government has em- powered the commander of the Am- erican marines at Amoy to attack the Chinese Red Army, if it tries to occupy that town. British warships are being con- centrated at Amoy, Hongkong, Shan- ghai, Hankow and other Chinese cities for the attack. Admiral Kelly, commander of the British Fleet in the Far East, has arrived at Hankow to cary the war into Central China. On his way on his flagship “Kent” he stopped at Shanghai and Nanking for conference with the diplomatic agents of the Wall Street Govern- ment ang officials of the puppet Nanking Government, The Japanese imperialists, as a result of their rober campaign against Shanghai, are armed to the teeth on the South and North coasts of China and on the upper and lower Yangste River. For the purpose of opening the direct fight against the Chinese Red Army, they have launched a special press campaign of war pro- vocation and incitement against the Chinese Soviet Republic, Imperialists Powers Arm Kuomin- tang War Lords ‘The imperialists, in their aim of retaining the Kuomintang as the chief force against the Chinese Re-| volution, are arming the Chinese) warlords, Kuomintang militarists in Nanking, Canton and Kwangsi are Deeds Here are but a few: | 1. On July 27, 1932 employed workers protesting against forced labor and de- manding relief. 2.

Thirty-six workers were arrested. , Mayor Hoan’s police attacked un- 3. “After a prolonged fight of several hours, during which numerous amendments were proposed and rejected, Social- ist aldermen succeeded in passing their proposal for a 10 per cent wage and salary donation by city employes.”.... —Milwaukee Leader, July 26, 1932 The paper further says that the money was to be used as an unemployed relief fund which means that they have used the same schemes as Mayor Walker to cut wages and throw the burdens of unemployed on the workers.

Candidate ‘Yesterday's capitalist press eon- tinued to carry scare-head stories about the “whispering campaign” against the banks, declaring that the mysterious “George Rowland,” has been “identified” as George E. Powers wha was arrested last August in Hancock, Mich., charged with violat- ing the Michigan criminal syndical- ism. At the same time they quote the American Vigilant Intelligence Federation, a racketeering “patrio- tic” outfit, whose director Jung, was formerly chief of a labor spy agency, to the effect that the “Comrade H, G.” mentioned in the mysterious letters said to have been found in a Pontiac hotel ig Harry Gannes, “di- rector of the Agitation and Prop- aganda Bureau of the Communist Party for the New York district,” As a matter of fact, Gannes was never agitprop director of the Com- munist Party of the New York dis- trict, and in recent years has been a member of the staff of the Daily Worker, and stationed permanently in its editorial offices in New York City, As for Powers, the New York dis- trict of the Communist Party yester- day issued a statement declaring; Obvious Frame-up “George E, Powers, candidate for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals on the New York State Communist tinuously for the past several months, and has made campaign speeches before clubs, organizations and open air street meetings almest daily for the past two months,” the statement says. Powers himself declared: “This statement of the American Vigilant Intelligence Committee is false and ridiculous, For the past two months I have been spending nearly every evening in making eam- Paign speeches in New York, My days have been spent in looking for work here in New York. “The entire story of this campaign against the banks is an obvious frame-up by the capitalist authori- ties to try te shift responsibility for their own bankruptey and failure on to the shoulders of the Party of .he workers.

He was mixed up in the attempt to frame-up Communists in the well-known “Michigan cage” of 1922, testified before the Fish Committee in Det- reit, and was the spirit be- hind the defeated “Spolansky Bill HOSE STRIKERS STAND SOLIDLY 'Refuse to Return to Factories (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) hundreq dozen. The strike committee cleverly man- uevered to get the strikers to accept @ compromise scale of $2.12 per hun- dred dozen. The mill bosses offer $2. The manufacturers feel confident that Bradley, the leader of the strike committee, will be able to demoralize the strikers into accepting the wage | cut plan, Frank Hogan of the United Textile Workers and A. J. Muste are in High Point attempting to make the sell- out easier. Despite the fact that the workers refused to return to the mills, demoralization is creeping into the ranks of the strikers, The National Textile Workers Union issued a large number of leaflets calling the strikers to estab- lish unity and resist all attempts to terorize them and thus win their demands. The leaflet issued today pointed out the necessity of the set- tin; up of @ relief apparatus from below.

Chiang Kai-Shek, who fears for his reputation ang had already appointed a commander-in-chief for the new fifth campaign, has been compelled by his imperialist masters to take over the supreme command himself. Masses Fight Back Answering the imperialists pre- parations for a direct attack on the Chinese Soviet Republic, the Chinese workers in the cities are rallying to the anti-imperialist, anti-Kuomintang struggles with a new wave of strikes and demonstrations. The strike of the silk mill workers in Shanghai, the strike in the British-American Tobacco Company, the strike in the British coal mine in North Honan, are clear indications of this. The Chinese working masses are ready for the fight for the victory of the Red Army, for the defeat of the fifth campaign of the imperial- ists and the Kuomintang, They must have, however, the active support of the internationa] pro- jetariat in order to prevent the direct war of the imperialists against the Chinese Soviet Repub- lic, to prevent their supplying mu- nitions and weapons to the Kuo- mintang and advising and financ ing them.
