MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1932 STRIKE-BREAKER HELPED 10 OUST VETS FROM CAMP Worked Out PlanWith Waters and Steel Mill Owners JOHNSTOWN, 1 Pa, Aug. 7,—The last of the bonus marchers left here yesterday, herded out by Pennsyl- vania state police under the direc- tion of the federal government and thethe Bethlehem Steel Co. Meanwhile mass meetings to greet the veterans and prepare for a2 na- tional conference to be held soon in Cleveland were being organized throughout the country by the Work- ers’ Ex-fervicemen’s League, It wa’ of the leaders of the evacuation drive against the veterans was Harry Tre- denick, president of the Haws Re- frectories Co., long notorious for his activities in breaking strikes. Genick is the one who with L. R. Custer, general manager of the local Bethlehem plant; Mayor McCloskey and representatives of W. W. Waters worked out the plans for herding the vets into trains, Tredenick, it was disclosed, got in touch with Waters in Washington. Waters at once signed an order tell- ing the men to get out of Johnstown. Mayor McCleskey was then rushed to Ideal Park, where he made a Speech, telling\\the vets to get out. It was during ‘his speech that the rank and file ef the Bonus army boocd down the ex-prizefighter mayor. All during the time that the evacu- ation move was in progress the fact that the federal government and the Bethlehem Ste2l Co. was paying the bill to get the marchers out of Johnstown was not revealed to the veterans. This fact was suppressed by every daily paper in the country except the Daily Worker. The bosses feared that if the vets learned that the government which had attacked thom with gas and bayonets was paying for the evacuation the men would refuse to leave the city. Waters at all times during the eviction remained the “absentee com- mander-in-chief.” Resentment was strong against him in all sections of the camp. Vast numbers of the vet- erans left the camp fully understand- ing that the Waters’ group had worked hand in hand with the Hoover government to defeat the struggle for the bonus. wy aes oe Babies Separated From Families. WASHINGTON, D. C,, Aug. 7.— Three babies, children of war vater- ans who were driven from the capi- tal, were unclaimed in Washington hospitals today. The parents, it is @eported, were not permitted io re- ‘turn for the children by troops, who forced them out of the city at bay- onet points. CRD ge Vet Demonstration In New Haven. ' NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 7—One thousand workers and veterans came wut to a mass meeting held in this ‘city yesterday under the auspices of the Workers’ Ex-Servicemen’s League. A resolution calling for the unity of workers and veterans in the struggle for the bonus and unem- ployment insurance was unatimously adopted. The meeting was addressed by Nina Raskin of the Young Communist League, Sylvester Macheer of the W. E, 8. L. and Wm. Taylor of the In- ternational Labor Defense. A telegram was sent from the mesting to Governor Gross, demand- ing the immediate release of Jack- son and Powers, who are held in jail for demanding unemployment insur- ance at the expense of the state and immediate relief for the jobless.

Publish Thi:1 Appeal. The newspape:s here publish the text of the third appeal of the Ruegg defense for the transfer of the case from Nanking to Shanghai, where a foreign defense lawyer can be hired | and a better defense made. The defense appeal traces the his- tory of the case, and states that the Rueggs were extradited from Shang- hai to Nanking after arrest on a false charge of another offens2 than that which they are being tried for, an JO optsyno paqqTuruios AjasoqTe asuazjO Shanghai. The Rueggs were then detained in @ military prison for over four months without charges, and were tortureq there. The defense charges that this extradition deprives the Rueggs of the chance to use a for- eign lawyer, and deprives them of the use of a lawyer in the prelimi- nary proceedings. No State Evidence. Another ground of appeal by the defense is that the state prosecutor based his accusations not on any evi- dence, but only on notes of the Chinese recorder. The trial was started under the supervision of the Kuomintang and military representatives, behind clos- ed doors, under strong military guard and in a general atmosphere of mar- tial law. The defense counsel was interfered with in every way. Wit- nesses were examined while the ac- cused were unable to attend court. oi eee The radiogram’s reference to start- ing the trial behind closed doors seems to refer to an earlier proceed- ing and not to the coming trial, slat- ed for August 10, unless the date of the trial has been arbitrarily changed again and it is already going on. But in Nanking, the August 10 trial would be of this same general char- acter. A world wide protest movement to save Paul and Gertrude Ruegg is go- ing on. Reugg was secretary of the Pan Pacific Trade Union Secretariat. The charge against the two is not made clear, but seems to be a blanket accusation of Communism. A letter sent out of jail some time ago by Gertrude Ruegg and suppress- ed by Nanking and by Shanghai in- ternational settlement authorities, appears in the latest issue of Inpre- corr, and tells of accusations in the first hearing, that the Rué&gs took part in May Day demonstrations. Police Stool Pigeon Forms Organization Against Kent Jobless KENT, Ohio, Aug. 7.—A shady in- dividual; a police spy and perhaps also a landlord’s agent, named T. R. Taylor, was used to form a fascist- like organization here against the Unemployed Council Monday night. The Unemployed Council had called a demonstration to meet at the city hall. Taylor was a mem- ber of the council. The local paper, the Tribune, says: “Police secured the co-operation of Taylor,” and a few of Taylor's friends left the Un- employed Council with him and started a new organization, under police protection, which he calls: “The Citizens’ Protective League of Kent.” Taylor and his agents stood at the doors to prevent any of the militant unemployed from getting The League de- nounces Communism, and says that it will merely “intercede” if evic- tions are threatened or workers are starving. The Unemployed Council contin- ues its work, cleansed of Taylor. Immediate payment of the ‘Bonus’ to the ex-soldiers |the recent presidential election, had ser evil” to better combat Hitlerism. |Communists pointed out that sup- |port of Hndenburg was NOT war on fascism, and were‘ accused by the socialists of “breaking the front against Hitler.’ Hindenburg took of- fice on Socialist Party votes, and set up the Von Papan dictatorship, with Hitler openly approving and at the same time negotiating for place in |the Von Papen cabinet. Now the mask is off, and the ac- |tual chief of the American Social- ist Party comes out for giving com- plete power to Hitler’s fascism on the grounds that this “will probably prove the starting point of its re- cession and downfall.”. (1) The growth of fascism in Germany received direct support from the So- cialist Party by its policy of support- ing the Bruening-Hindenburg gov- ernment which was introducing fas- cism. Hillquit is laying the basis in this statement to justify the actions of the German Social Democracy in helping to form the inclusion of the Hitlerites directly in the government. Thus upon new pretexts the social- ists pursue their old policy of help- ing the rise of Hitler to power. Hill- quit in his own words explains pretty well the meaning of the term “social fascism,” as applied to the Socialist Party. They are socialisits in words and helpers of fascism in deeds, The Communisit program is one of struggle against fascisim, which is represented in Germany by Hit- lerism and Von Papenism which aids Hitlerism, and it will not con- sent to gamble with the lives of workers on the hope that before they are all killed or all their unions driven underground, fascisim will “collapse.” FIRING NEGRO ELEVATOR BOYS Union Organizing to Fight Discrimination NEW YORK.—At 268 West 40th Street in a loft buliding which em- ploys seven maintenance men—the superintendent, two porters, one operators—the super, a new man, fired the two porters and the freight elevator man July 30.

WAR PREPARATIONS AT WASH’GTON NAVY YARD Plan New Buildings, Docking Space (By a Worker Correspondent) As you have printed in the Daily Worker a request for information as to preparations for war, I am writing you what I know and hope it will be of value. The Washington Navy Yard has been working on several new build- ings. Another large building has the steel framework about completed, and can be plainly seen from the area of the burned bonus camp on the opposite side of the Anasostia river. The U. 8S, engineers have been dreg- ing the river to give additional docking space in front of the new build- ings, which front on the river.

INCREASE TERROR ° i\Jail Workers Fighting | Forced Labor (By a Worker eecapundent) MILWAUKEE, Wis—Recently the Milwaukee County Board passed }a forced-labor measure, introduced by the Socialist supervisors Metcalfe (Socialist candidate for governor) and Tucker.

Snoopers. As a means of cutting relief, scores of snoopers have ben put on at $150 }@ month to ransack the workers’ homes and cut them off the relief list, Workers who have a few pen- nies, or a little food Isft, are cut off the list and some prosecuted for “fraud” as an example to others. |One worker was given from 1 to 2 years sentence. A mil Raymond Day, organizer of the Trade Union Unity League and leader of }the recent Simplex Shoe strike of 250 girls against wage-cuté, was given five days for objecting to the insulting tactics of the snoopers. His charge was “disorderly conduct.” The Socialist snoopers did not dare to give him more because of his in- fluence amongst the workers. This is the tactic generally in Socialist Milwaukee in dealing with worker: organized in the revolutionary move- ment—to “‘snipe” at them. Deportation.

It is investigat- ing the cases in Milwaukee of “relief fraud,” and issuing leaflets against the snoopers and forced labor. Some of teh cases will be tested in an ap-| peal. The case in Kenosha will be particularly fought.
