Since last June, however, Manning found that the Negroes in the community would not stand for his jim-crow proposals, therefore his change of front. But that change of front is strictly limited to the All Souls parish in which Negroes are in the overwhlmieng majority ang for the same reason, the white vestrymen fear that Negroes, if admitted to membership, would “gain control by a majority vote,"—the majority of Ne- groes in the community. While the Negro reformist press in their service to the imperialist enemy of the Negro masses, and its religious bulwark, will no doubt hail} the incident as a great concession to the Negroes, the hypocrisy of the manouver ‘is evident. JAPAN IN MOVE 10 TAKE N. CHINA Chinese War Lords Aid Scheme Chinese war-lords in the pay of Japanese imperialism are meeting in Peiping to promote Japanese plans for a further partition of China, by the setting up of a new puppet state in North China which would even- tualiy be included in the present pup- pet Manchukuo state set up in Man- churia by Japanese bayonets. Japan Lines Up Puppet Generals The pro-Japanese movement is headed by Gen. Tuan Chi-jui, former provisional chief executive of China, and who was at one time slated by the Japanese to “head” the puppet Manchukuo state. Others backing the Japanese plan include General Yen Hsi-shan, war lord of Shansi Prov- inct; General Wang-I-tang, chief promoter of the Anfu Club of north- ern militarists which is headed by Gen. Tuan; General Wu Pei-fu who was thrown on the scrap heap in 1927 by the Chinese Revolution; and General Feng Yu-hsiang. General Han Fu-chu, war lord of Shantung Province is reported in the movement and “exerting pressure” on his former ally, Marshall Chang Hsueh-liang, to support the Japanese scheme. Like General Chiang Kai- shek, Marshall Chang has carried out a consistent policy of non-resistance to the Japanese invasion of Man- churia. With Chiang he is already sold on the Japanese scheme. U. S. Builds Its Own Gang American imperialism, which ses its loot in China threatened by the new drive for Chinese territory .by the Japanese, is exerting strenuous efforts to rally a powerful group of Kuomintang militarists to its support. Its principal agent is the so-called “left wing” leader, Wang Ching-peli, whom it is grooming to challenge the power of Chiang Kai-shek because of the latter's defection to its Jap- anese rival. While supplying muni- tions to Japan for the murder of Chinese workers and for interven- tion against the Soviet Union, Amer- ican imperialism seeks at the same time to maintain its hegemony in China against the Japanese challenge. Danger of Anti-Soviet War The situation is greatly intensify- ing the antagonisms between Amer- ican and Japanese imperialisms, threatening the extension of the present imperialism war in the Fat East. The entire U. S. battle fleet is now in the Pacific, The danger of the United , States and Japan trying to settle their dif- ferences at the expense of the Soviet Union through a war of intervention has thereby grown more acute.

Some of the main characters have been seen in other films, but the mass scenes of many children in and out of school are even better. The film is intended, ob- viously for education of the pa- rents and teachers, and children of the U. S.S.R. But it will be no less interesting here. The Communist Party of the U. S. S. R. has set its face against having “those who wil! succeed us brought up with blows and the strap”— tors ig 5 Downtown Council’s Election Rally Oct. 27!

STOLEN WAGES Tammany Court Tools Work with Boss In an atmosphere charged with an- tagonism, the third hearing of the case of the 24 Negroes and four Ital- jan laborers of the International Hodcarriers and Common Laborers, Local 10, against John Wilkie of the Cc. & W. Construction Co. (plus the officials of the union and Tammany Hall), to recover money fraudulently taken from them while they were employed on the 69th Armory in Harlem, took place Saturday in Comptroller Berry's office at City Hall, These men were robbed of $2.90 a day of their wages of $9.90, the former wage scale of bricklayers’ helpers, while employed on the Negro and Seventh Aves. Deputy Commissioner Prial was viciously hostile to the workers and their lawyer, Allan Taub, for the Trade Union Unity Council. Prial opened the hearing by shouting invectives against the activities carried on by the workers during the past week when under the leadership of the T. U. U. C. they carried their case to the Negro and white workers of Har- lem. The men had distributed thou- sands of leaflets exposing the role of the union officials, Tammany and the inactivity of the Negro reform- ist organizations in Harlem, who had failed to help them in their fight, Attorney Taub made the following demands: (1) That the time book and payroll of the job be put at his disposal. (2) That the complete rec- ord of the two previous hearings’ be turned over to him. During the week! Taub had attempted to use the rec- ords and after a great deal of argu- ment and red tape he had been al- lowed to look over them with a dep- uty standing over him to see that he did not copy anything from them. Prial raved and shouted at the militant program of the workers. Waving one of the leaflets, he Shouted: “I don’t like these crack- pot leaflets. We're not afraid of that bull! ,..” When Taub expressed the opinion that the WORKERS had the right to use any lawful methods to arouse mass sympathy, the Commis- sioner demanded: “Cut that word! ‘WORKER!’” After winning his. two demands the men’s attorney had the case postponed until next Saturday, Oct. 29, at 10:30. The men’s appearance in the court was strikingly different Saturday from what it had been in the two previous hearings, when they were misrepresented by a lawyer provided by the A. F. of L. They displayed confidence in their lawyer, and they were not impress2q by the shouts of the noisy Commissioner. At the other two hearings they had been be- wildered and confused as much by the union's lawyer, who was pretend- ing to be defending them, as they were by the combined efforts of Prial and the contractors’ attorney. ae 20 Tammany Floaters in 4th Assembly Dist. NEW YORK.—Tammany Hall, is beginning early this year to build up its voting machine of fraud and trickery, to stem the growing moye- ment of workers toward the Commu- nist election program, In the 14th Assembly District, where last year about 360 illegal votes were sneaked through by “floaters,” 20 men have been installed in two rooms at 100 Attorney St. by the Democratic cap- tain, Mr. Hirsch, who is paying their rent so that they can vote in that in that distiret. In the Sixth Assembly District Democratic politicians, during the re- cent registration, canvassed the cheap rooming houses in. the Bowery end paid men $2 each to register. APPEAL FOR PENNY TAX NEW YORK.—Unemployed Coun- cils of Greater New York have is- sued an appeal to all workers’ or- ganizations to support the work of the Unemployed Councils by taxing the affairs they run one penny for each worker, so as to build up a fund to carry on the vital work of the Un- employed Councils for adequate re- self-determination in the Black Belt ; \officials for better conditions. BLACKLISTED BY ZARITSKY CLIQUE Union Causes Firing of Militant Worker Not satisfied with the wage cuts, long hours and sweatshop conditions they have put through, Zaritsky and the officials of local 24 are now try- ing different schemes. One of these schemes is the working card system, @ means of forcing the workers to pay dues by threatening them with the loss of their jobs, which in ac- tuality is the introduction of the check-off system. This is done with the heip of the bosses. Blacklisting militant workers is another scheme. An outstanding ex- ample of this is the case of a trim- mer, Rose Prager, who was fired for no reason at all afier working two weeks in the Rolly Hat Shop, 37 W. 37th Street after an organizer visited the shop. According to the agreement, a worker is not fired from a job until the Board of Arbitration passes such a decision. In this case the organ- iver merely informed the boss that the case will be referred to.the Bos- ses’ Association, to which the boss had no objection. Dr. Abelson, the “impartial chair- man,” and the bosses’ representatives tried very hard to railroad the case. They asked how long the trimmer worked without a writing. She pro- tested, maintaining that it is no con- cern of the boss or the Association. Here, Mr. Helfer, one of the bosses’ representatives, stated the exact date when the trimmer got the writing. That the union was the only source | of this information needs no further evidence, The decision was to pay the dis- charged trimmer $25 for the loss of the job. Do the officials together | with the bosses really think that they will get rid of militant workers sim- ply by paying them off after firing them? By no means, for the milli- nery workers are not going to keep quiet very much longer. They are | begining to organize in the shops, and under the leadership of the opposi- tion will fight over the heads of the Needle Strikers Call Picket Demonstration A mass demonstration tomorrow at | 7:30 a. m. at the Meyer Dorfman Bear 218 Bedford, Brooklyn, has een called by the workers on strik there. Workers in all needle trades, especialy knitgoods, ave urged to at- tend this demonstration and to come | to picket every Morning and evening, er ncaa, ELECTION.

Eleanor Henderson at that time had been sentenced to only 10 days, and it was against the vic'ous sen- tences of the capitalist court, and against its openly avowed Jim- Crow policy that the demonstration was held in front of Aurelio’s house. Call for Watchers To Guard Communist Votes at Elections NEW YORK.—Election watchers | are urgently needed in order to safeguarq the Communist vote, the United Front Election Committee announced today in a statement saying: “Not only will the politicans intimidate voters before election day, but at the polls they will do everything possible to eliminate votes for the Communist candi- dates. After the votes are cast, they will, as proved by past ex- periences, attempt to steal or throw out the Communist vote. “Tt is necessary that every Party member and sympathizer should be mobilized for November 8th to participate in the work of safe- guarding the Communist vote.” The legal staff of the Interna- ional Labor Defense has organized @ special group of lawyers to give legal protection to workers voting en November 8th and to election watchers. All those volunteering for distributing literature near the polls, to act as watchers in the polls and for other work, are urged to apply at once to the following section headquarters.

Moon and Poston have returned to America charging that the temporary, postponement of the film of Negro life was due to the existence of Am- erican race prejudice in the U. 8. S. R. William L, Patterson, National Secretary of the I. L, D. and Com- munist candidate for mayor of New York City will speak against the views of Moon and Poston. The meeting will take place on Thursday, October 27, at St. Luke’s hall, 125 West 130th St. at & » m, The challenge to Moon and Poston, to debate was sent by Comrade Pat- terson, Patterson, a Negro worker, pointed out that he had spent three years in the Soivet Union, which is the only country where race prejudices are being smashed. The filming of the picture “Black ang White,” Pat- terson wrote, was not postponed be- cause this would interfere with Soviet American relations as they charged, but it was postponed until next spring, because of technical difficul- ties in preparations for the film it- self, All other members of the group which Post and Poston deserted to have themselves branded the stories of Post and Poston as anti-Soviet lies. MOON T0 DEBATE Communist Candidate Endorsed by Mass Meetings of Pioneers Last Sunday, 75 children, a good many of whom were newsies and boot blacks, held a children’s macs meeting at 624 Vermont St., Broo! lyn, The following is a resolution which they dew up and passed unanimously after a discussion on the various national candidate, part of which is as follows: “When our fathers and mothers went to the home relief bureau of Brownsville for food and relief for us they got beaten up by the demo- crati¢ cops. Just a few weeks ago we marched ina body to P.S.174 and forced them to give food to six starv- ing children. The Pioneers led us and we were supported by many Communists in this fight. “We kids are now fighting for free food and clothing. This means more to us than anything else. We've got to live! “Foster and Ford are fighting for the same thing. That’s why we'll do everything we can to help them win. If they win—we win.” Similar mass meetings are being prepared throughout the city, The Pioneers are entrenching themselves in the schools and are mobilizing theiz forces for a fight against the threatened closing down of 110 free milk stations. The Young Pioneers of America are preparing a special city-wide Foster-Patterson Rally, which will take place at Central Opera House, on Sunday, October 30th, at 2 p. m. William Patterson, Communist candidate for Mayor will address the meeting. M. J. Olgin will also speak. ANNOUNCEMENT Dr. Louis L.
