IMPERIALIST APPETITE GROWS ST. JOHN’S, Canada, Nov. 18.— When a U. 8. imperialist made a de- mand for annexation by this coun- try of all Canadian territory south of the St. Lawrence river, the Can- adian imperialists came back with 2 demand for a slice of Maine. Since then the appetite of the Canadian imperialists has grown. The St: John’s Chamber of Commerce has passed a resolution which calls for annexation to Canada of part of the three states—Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. RIDICULE “ANTI-SOVIET LIE MOSCOW, VU. S, S. R.—Refutation of the story that the Soviet Union was shipping “godless matches” to | Britain inside of coffins—took the form of a storm ‘of ridicule and pro- test throughout Moscow. The story eriginated with a London newspaper and was evidently inspired by capi- talist match interests. In refuting the charge that the matches carried anti-religious labels, the Soviet press pointed out that all foreign import- ers of Soviet matches make their own label COMMUNISTS GAIN IN DENMARK COPENHAGEN, Nov. 18, — The Communists registered lagre gains in yesterday’s election to the lower house of Parliament. Two Commu- nist deputies were elected, represent- ing the first Communist seats in the lower Parliament. SOVIETS INVITE HARPO MARX MOSCOW, U. S. S.

Artists Parade; Will Demand Indoor Place to Exhibit Pictures NEW YORK.—After marching from Macdougal and 4th Streets through Washington Square to the John Reed Club, 450 6th Avenue, late yesterday afternoon, a large as: semblage of artists elected a com- mittee to present to Mayor McKee a petition with 10,000 signatures de- manding that the city shall provide artists with an indoor exhibition room where they may show their work. Needy artists, despite recent cold weather and approaching Winter, have been forced to display their paintings out-of-doors in Washington Square Park, in order to obtain enough to keep alive. They have been forced to accept the merest plttances for paintings representing long hours, days and even wecks of their labor. Tired of worsening con- ditions, the artists are now putting up a fight for their rights took | JUNKERS IN SAVAGE DRIVE ON WORKERS Hindenburg Asks Nazi Head Hitler for Conference KEEP FASCIST RULE Try to Curb Workers’ Resistance by Jailings (By Inprecorr Cable) BERLIN, Nov. 18. — The Junker President Hindenburg | is reported to have invited Adolf Hitler, Nazi leader, to a conference with the view of organizing a “concentration’ government to carry on the fascist-militarist dictatorship in a new form | following the} forced resigna: tion yesterda, of the Von Pa. pen cabinet.) Because of the tremendous un- popularity of! the Von Papen Cabinet, the junkers showed themselves will- ing to sacrifice Von Papen while at the same time determined to continue government by edict. Hindenburg accepted the resignations, but, empowered the cabi- net to continue~in power pending further presidential action, Crisis Deepens The position of Von Papen had be- come increasingly diff'tult under the rapid aggravation of the crisis, the failure of the Von*Papen foreign pol- icy to obtain concessions from the powers supporting the infamous Ver- sailles pact, and the upsurge of mass anger against the increasing attacks on the already starvation standards of the workers, by cuts in wages and relief and forced labor for thousands of unemployed workers. The Junkers yesterday accompa- jnied the von Papen maneuver with | |an unprecedented campaign of ter- roristic legal and extra-legal attacks | on the masses in an attempt to crush the fighting spirit of the German workers. At Chemnitz the court sen- tenced Ferdinand Bartel to death because he was seen in the company | of a man who shot a Nazi in a cafe, although the court admitted that Bartel did not fire at the Nazi. The | police have been unable to find the} man who fired the shot. Renewed Terror | A Communist worker, Katamarek, | | was sentenced to two years hard la- | ; bor because he defénded himself against several fascists during the recent election campaign. Katzmarek was wounded by the fascists and a passing child seriously injured. Katz- marek himself was unarmed and had defended himself with his fists. The fascists who fired on him and in- jured the child are free. A working women, Selma Leudert, was sentenced to 12 months hard la- bor on the charge of throwing a stone at a scab during the tram strike, The worker, Liehmann, was given eight months hard labor for standing with outstretcheq arms be- fore a bus driven by a scab, causing the latter to halt. A working woman, Neumann, was sentenced to twelve months hard labor for obstructing police removing Communist election propaganda. An eighteen year old student was sentenced to four months hard labor, which was afterwards changed to six months imprisonment, on a charge of throwing a stone at a scab on the Elevated. Two workers, Grueber and Weidmueller, were sentenced to two years and six months hard labor each on a charge of ramming stones into tramway lines during the strike. Two other workers, Zander: ang Loesch, were given the same _ sentences charged with throwing stones. The preceding represents only an extract from the large number of brutal sen- tences imposed on workers during the past two days, Womenfolk of Vets Meet Sunday, 8 p. m. NEW YORK.—-The wives mothers, and sisters of veterans, Negro and white, are organizing in order to more actively support the fight of the veterans for the immediate cash payment of the “bonus” The women realize that the fight of their hus- bands for their back pay is their fight also. To carry on a suc-*ssful strug- gie for the bonus they aiso must or- sanize, For this reason a meeting of all women, wives, sisters and mothers of war veterans has been celied for Sunday, November 20th at 8 p. m. at the Czechoslovak House, 347 E. gt prem, HINDENBURG Stalin in Message Thanks SovietMasses for their Sympathy MOSCOW, Nov. 18.—The Prav- da today published the following message from Josef Stalin, secre- tary of the Russian Communist Party, in connection with the mass expression of sympathy on the recent death of his wife: “E am earnestly grateful to all organizations, establishments, and individuals who have expressed their condolences with the death of my dear friend and comrade, Nadejda Sergieyna llileuva - Stalin.” CONGRESS WON'T TAX THE RICH Plan to Fasten New Tax Burden on Poor WASHINGTON, Nov. 18—The demoerats who have been a majority in Congress for two years are stag- ing a fake struggle over the tax ques- tion as a preliminary to the opening of the “lame duck” session in a few weeks. Representative Collier of Missis- sippi, chairman of the ways and leans committee, which legislates for money for operating the govern- ment says 700,000,000 dollars will be necessary to balance the budget. O'Connor of New York, one of the Roosevelt gang who said beer would bring sufficient. revenue now admits that it would in no way solve the question. Pave Way for Roosevelt, All measures to tax the rich are scorned by the democrats and re- publicans They all scheme to tax the poor. os this connection the masses face the danger of ‘having a sales tax f led on them, which for the workers means a cut in real wages. Their talk about necessity for balancing the budget is only for the purpose of paying the way for the Roosevelt administration to con- tinue the Wall Street hunger policy as carried thus far by Hoover. Roose- velt, in his speeches clearly stated that he would consider the question of relief only after the budget was balanced. TRIAL OF 2 MINERS TOSTART MONDAY Opeck, Orloff Fight Murder Charge PITTSBURGH, Pa., Nov. 19.—The trial of Joseph Orloff and Sam Opeck charged with killing a coal company | “yellow dog” last summer opens at Morgantown, W. Virginia, on Mon- rorize the miners by sending these two men to the chair. Although these two miners were members of the United Mine Work- ers ‘and were framed in a strike led by this organization the union made no attempt to get defense, legal or mass. Neither did thay provide for the children of Orloff. After the In- ternational Labor Defense stepped in the United Mine Workers came forward—to denounce the men. The mass defense which won a new trial for the Scottsboro boys can save these two innocent men. Send protests immediately to Judge Baker and District Attorney Schu- man, Morgantown.

She was first starved and |then murdered by mistreat- ment in the hospital. She is the second victim within a few days of New York’s hideous “relief” system, in Harlem. The other was 9-year old Ralph Gonzales who died from eating poi- sonous lunches at Public School 57. A mass funeral ‘or Estelle Smith will be held Mon- jay, Nov. 21, at 1 om, at the Har- “relief” * ‘ Inadequate Relief Mrs. Smith, who also has two © young chiltiren, was unemployed, and for months while pregnant with the third child, tried’ to get. yelief from, the. Charity Organization Society. Totally inade- quate payments of $3 or $4 a week were sometimes made, but no more, Weak from hunger she was taken to Fordham Hospital, where her baby was born on October 8. After the birth, a bucketfull of cold water was thrown over her, and she was left lying in a room with doors and win- dows open. She was then sent home, but sank rapidly, and in a couple of days was taken to Harlem Hospital, where her husband was not allowed to see her as she lay dying, too weak to even call a nurse. Harlem Hospital first said she died of pneumonia, then changed and said it was tuber- culosis. ‘The husband of Estelle Smith, Nor- man Smith, was sentenced with other workers to eight days in jail for tak- ing part in a militant demonstration to try and force relief for the family. Estelle Smith was a militant work- er and took an active part in the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. When she was dying, word was sent in to her of the big Communist vote in New York. She smiled and whis- pered, “That’s good”, Fight Against Murder | ‘These two deaths from the cynical) contemptuous capitalist starvation of the unemployed workers should rouse the toilers of Harlem and the whole city to the greatest protest, to in- creased and still more determined struggle to put an end to such a de- praved system. The fight for relief and insurance now is a fight to stop this murder, which will otherwise be- come the usual thing this wnter. In the case of Ralph Gonzales, the capitalist authorities and their press are now trying to deny that he died of poison food and claim it was “spinal meningitis”, though some of them say “bronchial pneumonia”. In of 37-43 W. 93d St., writes: “The boy could never have died (and did not) within a couple of hours after lunch from either one of these diseases or from a combination of both of them. | fields, this connection, Dr, Michael Mislig, |{ TAG Turn Out Earl ways and in Or; Stations.
