The whole party was held in the police station for an hour but finally all its members were releaséd, including Malone. On top of this followed the second artest of Malone on August 5th and the attempt once more to frame him, this time alleging that he was seek- ing the life of Thomas. Attack on Workers’ Conference In a statement issued to the press this morning, the Canadian Labor Defense League declared: “The Canadian Labor Défense League is ih possession of what we expect will be conclusive evidence to prove that the arrést of Dati Malone and the charge against him of at- tempted assassination aré a clutnsy but deliberate frame-up on the part of police authorities. “We are in posséssion of further evidence which we aré confident will unéduivoéally expose certain other motives on the part of the police in affecting the second arrest of Mal- one.” ‘The arrest of Malone can only be interpreted as an- attempt to dis- credit the Workers’ Economic Con- ference to which Malone was a dele- gate.

The police and army are wea- pons of capitalist rule, for the suppression of the working class. Nor shall we deal at any length with the unfortunate experience of Mr. Amicus Most and his, anger against the ac- tions of a “stupid” police offi- cial who arrested him for dis- ion. This, was of course, only an incident since the policeman could hardly know that the So- ¢ialist Party only took up the demand for recognition and trade when such big capitalist groups as Standard Oil took up the demand. How could a po- liceman know also that the so- Cialists raised this slogan only to better disguise their oppo- sition to the Soviet Union ex- ressed repeatedly ‘in such statements as Thomas’ and Hillquit’s that the Soviet Un- ion exists by terrorizing the workers? And furthermore the error of) the policeman might be explained by the fact that anything sounding good about the Soviet Union would after all be spread by Communists.

NANKING LINES SHAKEN BY REDS Chiang Faces Major Disaster in Hupeh The main Nanking (Kuomintang) army, under the Wall Stréet butcher Chiang Kai-shek, is facing a major disaster as the heroic Chinese Red Army continues to press a great of- fensive along a wide battlefront in Hupeh Province. The Nanking line is threatening to break at several points under the ar- tillery pounding and infantry charges Of the Red Army. Chiang is rushing reinforcements to Yokiokow, one of the points threatened. At Yokiokow, the Nanking forces have suffered more than 800 casualties in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Red| Army during the past two days. Many of the Nanking troops have| thrown down their rifles and refused to fight against the Red Army, while others have settled with their own officers and joined the workers’ and peasants’ Red Army. The towns of Yanglo and Kotien, near Hankow, have several times changed hands during the past few days. According to the latest in- formation from the front they are a tpresent held by Nanking troops, but this has not helped to relieve the terfific pressure of the Red Army on the Nanking lines. Shanghai reports that the Red Army is attacking from Sha-sh! in the south to Macheng in the notth, indicating that the battlefront in Hupeh Provinée is over 200 miles in extent. In Kwangtung Province, South China, the Canton clique of the Kuo- tintang claims to have inflicted a defeat on the advance guard of the Red Aftmy, which has invaded that province from ‘the Central Chinese Soviet District in Kiangsi Province. ‘They claim to have held up the Red Afmy advance southward of Hoping, about 150 miles northeast of Canton.

A resolution was sent to Secretary of State Stimson, demanding the re- lease of Matti Tenhunen, held by the fascist police of Helsingfors, Po- land, at the instigation of the Amer- jean imperialists government. An- other resolution was sent to Secre- tary of Labor Doak, protesting against the terrorization policy of his department toward foreign-born veterans. A three-state committee, with rep- resentatives from West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and East Ohio, was elected to coordinate the work of the various committees for the protection of foreign born in the district covered. Among the high points of the con- ference was the arrival of the dele- gates from the starving miners of Coverdale, Pa. bringing with them @ cash contribution of $2 to be used in the struggle against the Dies bill and the deportation terror.

The *Central Committee of the Communist Party in a call today urged all workers’ organizations to rally to the support.of the veterans | in their fight for relief and the bonus, Wm. L, Patterson, member of the National Executive Committee of the International Labor Defense, in a statement issued today, urged all workers to support the fight of the veterans. “The struggle for the bonus will sharpen with the growing con- solousness of the ex-servicemen,” said Patterson. It will inevitably be linked up with the struggles of the millions of unemployed for unemployment insurance, the struggles against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Union. It will be linked up with the fight against deportations, the persecution of the foreign-born and the struggles of the Negro | workers for equal rights. “These struggles will be met with the bosses by the most savage ter- ror.
