JAIL JOBLESS IN MILWAUKEE Savage Sentences In “Socialist” City (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Inemployed Councils organized 2 lemonstration against the decision snd Burbach took part in the de- mang for food for his hungry family. Police clubbed him over the head with a pick handle, and a woman agent of the relief station stabbed him intHe back with a knife used for opening letters. S. P. Caucus On Sentence. Charges having no felation to the case were brought against Burbach, and, when he denied them, he was also charged with perjury. They gave him a thirty-day sentence in the house of correction and after that he was held in the county jail for a decision on the per- jury charge. The judge withheld sentence until he had a chance to hold conferences with the Socialist Party city and county officials. Sentence Communist Candidates. Meanwhile in the district court, before Judge Hedding, twelve workers were sentenced on rioting charges based on their militant demonstra- tion against forced labor and for re- ef to certain particular cases of tarving unemployed workers a few reeks ago at Lincoln Ave. relief sta- jon. A term of four months in jail ‘was decreed for Mrs. Tillie Benson, who was at the demonstration par- ticularly to demand relief for her four hungry children. Others sentenced were: Carl Les- ter, Communist candidate for Con- gress in the Fourth District, ten months; Benjamin Pheifer, Commu- nist elector at large, ten months; ‘Walter Wojtczak, Albert Krowezyk, Roman Michaelski, six months each; Walter Latowski, Joseph Plekha, John Tuchalski, three months each; Albert Puezylowski, Joseph Tomasau- nas and Louis Osowitz, 30 days each. Railroaded. In these trials the judge attempted to prejudice the jurors, led witnesses tor the prosecution, coached, right in court, all the police who testified, restricted the defense testimony and the argument of the International Labor Defense attorneys, objected to the number of defense witnesses, sus- tained all the objections made by the Prosecution and overruled all made ‘Pp_the defense. Judge Hedding, who poses as a iberal” and humanitarian,” stated had a right to demand more relief. Benson Helps Convict. Sheriff “Riot-Gun” Benson, Social- ist Party leader, was in court, con- ferring with the city police and court fi ls, openly working up the case against the unemployed and aiding the prosecution. Sheriff Benson recently stated, in regard to attacks on unemployed demonstrations: “The Communists are trying to keep us officials from doing our duty, but we know how to handle these persons.” _At the same time, high poli¢e offi- cials were declaring: “The leaders of these demonstrations will make every effort to incite violence.” Police of- ficials are boasting in public that they will smash the unemployed councils here, When Grace Brown, a Communist candidate, appeared as a witness for the defense in court, court officials and Socialist Party leaders united in sclaring she was a “Red agitator” ad intimating that therefore her ‘stimony was not to be believed. Wreck Socialist \. The whole attitude of courts, So- cialist city anq county officials and Socialist press indicates a deliberate Program of smashing by terror and savage prison sentences the unem- ployed movement in Milwaukee. This struggle of the jobless, led by the unemployed councils and the Com- Tunist Party, is making a scandal and crippling the Socialist Party election campaign claims that the pei seray administration “has accom- plished wonders for the jobl Milwaukee.” nai: Mayor Hoan is travelling around, making these false claims and speak- -ing to the Army and Navy Clubs, etc,, while the jobless starve and the So- biceade reek a jail and prison ie less who com) about the starvation. rae Against this Socialist Party terror campaign, which is part of the gen- eral drive of the bankers and, big businessmen here, the jobless ‘will fight.

A big Communist vote will be a hard blow to Socialist starvation of the unemployed, Socialist officials’ forced labor program for the jobless and the Socialist administration's conspiracy to smash the unemployed struggle with arrests and long jail sentences, Many rank and file Socialist Party members witnessed the conduct of the cases against the unemployed and were outspoken in their disgust and resentment against the S.

The Don Basin was the basic and almost unique source of coal at that time. But the Don Basin was in the center of the civil war which left it destroyed, with flooded shafts and frozen coal. In 1920 the output of coal in the Soviet Union amounted to 8;200,000 tons. The work of restoring the Don Basin and developing production in other regions was started. The pre- war level of production was exceeded in 1927 when 32,700,000 tons of coal were mined. Having reconstructed its coal in- dustry in so short a time, the So- viet Union started to develop it at a rate unknown in any capitalist coun- try in the world. During the ten years of highest development of the coal industry in the capitalist world, the maximum output occurred in Germany (150 per cent). In the So- viet Union in a period of five years (1927-1981), the coal output has risen by 173 per cent. USSR Takes Fourth Place In World Fifty-six million, seven hundred thousand tons of coal had been mined in the USSR during the year 1931. ‘The coal production was almost dou- bled in comparison with 1913. The Soviet Union took the fourth: place in the world in regard! to coal pro- duction having exceeded France, Po- land and gther countries. Simultaneously with the enormous rise in the output of the Don Basin, new coal mines were discovered and mined. The second and third coal basins of the Soviet Union, Kuzbas and Karaganda, are developing. and | speedily rising. Coal is being mined at the Moscow Coal Basin, in the Urals, in Middle Asia, ete. Mechanized Industry. . The coal industry of the Soviet Union is being fundamentally recon- structed. In 1918 mechanized produc- tion of coal formed 1 per cent only of the total output, while in 1931 it amounted to 56 per cent and in 1982 it reached 70 per cent. ie Tremendous new construction is proceeding simultaneously with re- construction. Three hundred and nineteen new shafts are under con- struction with a total yearly output of 239 million tons. Contrast With Capitalist Production The great forward stride of the coal industry in the Soviet Union is an especially vivid feature showing the advantages of the economic sys- tem established by the victorious proletariat at a time when the capi- talist countries are experiencing a heavy crisis.

Spivak, is a well-known journalist who three years ago put the finish- ing touches on the exposure of the Whalen anti-Soviet forgeries by dis- covering the East Side print shop where the fake documents were man- ufactured. During 15 years of news- paper work he has covered many im- portant battles, including the strug- gles in the West Virginia coal fields in 1919-20, the national railway shop- men’s strike in 1922, the Herrin, Ml. massacre in 1922, and the Passaic strike in 1926. To gather the material for his book Spivak went into the heart of the Black Belt during the two successive years, investigating conditions at first-hand. Book Raises Election Issues. By printing the, book, the Daily Worker strkes at the fowndations of lynch-rule and raises clearly before the workers of the country the is- sues of equal rights for Negroes and self-determination in the Black Belt, which is one of the chief planks in the Communist election platform, Tomorrow is the day. “Georgia Nigger” in full, plus more than 75 obtained in the current year. ‘New Plants In 1932 the smelting of these metals formed 169.6 per cent of last year’s smelting. While several zinc plants abroad completely stopped work, in the Soviet Union new plants started to work in Constatinovka and Balov, with a capacity of 10,000 tons each. In addition, the already existing plant in the Ordjonikidze town was greatly extended. Two more electrolytic zine plants will be started in Celiabinsk and Or- gionikidze in 1932, The much devel- oped Volkov aluminum plant started O work, the first of its kind in the Soviet Union. A giant aluminum plant will be started in the nearest future on the Dnieper. This plant will be supplied with current from the Dnieprogess, Results of Workers’ Enthusiasm Thé production of such metals as wolfram, molybdenum and arsenic has been already introduced. The first combined nickel plant in Ufaley is about to start work. The first out- put will be obtained this year at the giant Soviet nonferrous metallurgy lJead plant. These successes of Soviet industry have been possible only on the basis of the greatest revolutionary enthusi- asm existing in the working class, which has taken power into its own hands and is constructing socialism in one-sixth of the world by its own effort and for its own benefit. Report New Successes Today, before the 15th anniversary of the November Revolution, before the 15th ann™wrsary of the prole- tarian dictatorship, the workers of the Soviet Union are reporting from all sections of the country new tre- mendous successes won by them, At Kuznetsk a new metallurgical plant is completely ready for produc- tion. The plant is ruling the first lot of ingots today. This is the first blooming, (a process of pounding or rolling metal into bars) of the Five- Year Plan, inclided in the industrial giants of the Soviet Union, which will begin working by the 15th anniver- sary of the November Revolution. The workers of the blast furnace No. 6 in the Stalin Metallurgical plant (Dombas) report that they have fulfilled on October 26, before the date set, their monthly task by 102 per cent. The workers of the Magnitogorsk blast furnace also report about their successes. On October 26 both blast furnaces of the Magnitogorsk plant yielded 2,162 tons of pig iron, exceed- ing the planned yield. This is not an accidental record, but a result of the systematic raise in smelting on the basis of the widely developed socialist competition an dshock activity. REBELS KILL 12 IN SHARP FIGHT U.S. Marines Rushed to Nicaraguan Town MANAGUA, Oct., 30.—All the stu- dents of the Nicaraguan Military Academy with their United States Marine Corps instructors were rushed yesterday to Chichigalpa in the dis- | trict of Chinandega to round up one hundred insurgent peasants. A dispatch from Chichigalpa re- vealed that the insurgent peasants engaged in a heavy fighting with a patrol of National Guardsmen, killing 12 of them. Their commander, Lieu- tenant Sotomayor is reported to be one of the killed. About 50 rebels are said to be killed or wounded. The rebels were com- manded by Umanzor, known as one of their most daring commanders. The fact that the United States Marines were dispatched against the insurgents is interpreted as reversing the recently announced policy of placing native officers in charge of the National Guardsmen. The United States Marines are supposed to leave Nicaragua February 1933, when the “committment” of United States im- perialism in this country officially expires. It is reported that the United States government is seeking an ex- cuse for not withdrawing the Marine Corps. 7,000 paid-in-advance bundle or- ders by November 1. stand or subscribe at once.

The Trustees refused to grant a free shoe repair shop or shoes. It increased the groceries anq milk for only a few workers. The speakers, two local and one county organizer exposed the hypocrisy of the mayor and trustees and called for their re- moval by petition of they did not act in the interests of the workers. It was suggested that the miser- able meat rations be thrown back in the mayor's office. The speaker pointed out that if the city refused to feed the unemployed then they would most likely go themselves to the well stocked grocery stores which the city officials protected. At this point the mayor: ordered him arrested. The speaker called upon the work- ers to decide if they would allow the polite to break-up their meeting. The workers shouted for him to continue and the police withdrew. i After the organizer finished the} mayor mounted the stand and started talking about “Americanism” (stary- ation), etc. The workers booed him and then walked off. The city of Newton Falls is or- ganized into four groups which meet. every Friday and their 20 delegates meet on Wednesday as the Council of unemployed. —L. c. $2.70 Per Week for Jobless Men On Gov't Road Work FAITH, S. D.—A demonstration of Hoover's program for unemployed relief is being made here. Money is being-loaried by the R. F. C. to the state for road building purposes but with certain conditions regarding how it is to be spent. A gravelling contractor is compelled to hire unemployed family men for distributing the gravel over the roads by hands, with s#ovels. For thts, men are paid 30 cents an hour for a maximum week of 30 hours or $9.00 They are charged $6.30 for board and room so it leaves $2.70 for the family. This method is so wasteful that the contractor offered to pay all of the men their wages and let them stay home, keeping two if he would be permitted to use his grader. However, this does not fit in with the plans of the White House en- gineer so that the men have to work, some of them a hundred miles away of Unemployed Struggles from home, three days a week and pondents Tell Chats with Our Worcorrs |PREPARIN NATIONAL HUNGER MARCH HOLD HUNGER HEARINGS; Aid To Seaman Helps Shipowners | Gets Ousted |. “There are no shipowners in the | breadline,” states a call issued by the | Marine Workers Industrial Union to unemployed seamen for participation in the National Hunger March.
