eveceteert Ney Lua, Wiwwmouad, WOVelibia 50, lyod International Notes By PETER HENRY. 30,000 TENANTS STRIKING IN MUNICH The “Neue Zeitung,” Munich Com- munist daily, reports that 30,000 ten- ants started a rent strike in Munich, the Hitler capital, on Nov. 1. The strike was occasioned by an 8% per cent raise in rents plus an increase in gas and electricity rates. ‘The rent strike has grown to such proportions that the municipal au- thorities are already considering the withdrawal of the gas and electricity raises, and have already withdrawn the rent rise, When 30,000 rent-payers can be united for joint action in a city of 600,000 people, it is evident that the Communist raeigevn ate bey front campaigns is ig rTapi headway even in Hitler's stronghold. It is in such daily struggles that the German Communist Party is smash- ing the Fascists’ hold on their fol- lowers. 14 GERMAN SOCIALISTS JOIN THE COMMUNIST PARTY In the Osnabrueck district of West- ern Germany 14 former Socialists, members of the executives of Social- ist Party locals, have resigned and joined the Communist Party. In a statement published in the German press they call upon all workers to follow their example. The same energetic Communist leadership of~ mass strikes against Von Papen’s wage-cuts, combined with - Socialist betrayal and Hitler's empty phrases, that won such an impressive victory in the recent elec- tions is still at work disintegrating these two parties, whose function it is to serve as the last bulwarks of cap- italism. ONE REASON WHY FRANCE SUP- PORTS JAPAN IN MANCHURIA French and Japanese capital are direcily linked through the Banque Franco-Japonaise in Paris, which is under the control of Eugene Schnei- der, director of Schneider-Creusot, | the vast French steel and armament trust. This helps to explain why French exports of arms and muni- tion to Japan and Manchuria have been so high ever since the outbreak of the Manchurian conflict. TELLS 0° STRIKE ON CHAIN GANG Cahrera Describes the Sweatbox Torture (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Jeased from the sweatbox and given better food. Despite the fact that the camp was surrounded by armed guards who threstened to shoot, they held out for 24 hours. The prisoners were finally promised a “fair hear- ing” of their grievances and they went back to work. At the hearing the state prison officials promised them protection if they told the truth. The officials made good their promise—by putting Cabrera and nine others in the sweatbox for five days on bread and water. All but Cruz were later transferred to Raiford and put in solitary confinement, while Cruz is still in Indiantown, where he is being especially persecuted.

MARCH RUNS INTO LOCAL STRUGGLE Hot Fight for Relief in New Brunswick NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Nov. 29. —An unemployed demonstration of several hundred workers took place here today before the city hall as part of the preparations for the National Hunger March and to demand $7 cash relief for unemployed families of two here, $5 for single jobless workers and $2 additional for dependents. De- mands were made against evictions, for hot meals for school children, etc., and for public works, a sewage dis- posal plant, a high school annex and a new post office, all voted for but held up “for lack of funds,” the city officials say. The discussion turned around the first and last demand above, when a delegation headed by Mathew Carrol | saw the mayor and city council. The question of feeding school children was brushed aside by the mayor's false statement that the local relief agencies would care for it; the build- ing program was objected to on red tape and technical grounds, the de- mand for $100’ to finance the Hunger March was rejected, and other de- mands left “to the next session of the city council.” The demonstrators were dispersed when the delegation was inside pre- senting demands, but when they came out, they rallied again to hear the results. The National Hunger March was endorsed by the crowd, and prepara- tions to greet it. Wednesday, at 2 p.m., at a“big mass meeting at Handy and Jersey Streets continue. In the neighboring town of South River there will be an affair Wednes- day night at Polish Hall for the bene- fit of the arrested South River strikers and their families, and here also the Hunger March will be endorsed. ‘Ten delegates go on the march from New Brunswick.

Farm Strike, Led by Agricultural Union, Defies Police Chief VACAVILLE, Cal. — Agricultural workers striking against a wage cut and increased hours barricaded Dob- bins Street in the town of Vacaville, Calif. the home town of Frank H. Buck, newly elected congressmen on the democratic ticket, who promised the workers increased wages and less hours work if they vojed for him. Many workers were misled and voted,” and shortly after he was elected he reduced their wages and increased their hours. During the election campaign Buck had cards that read “Vote for Frank H. Buck, Friend of Labor”; now he is leading the large landowners against the militant workers where women and young girls are on the picket line. ‘These workers stopped PREPARATIONS FOR ‘E AND CONDITIONS Chats with Our Worcorrs The letters received by the Daily Worker from worker and farmer cor- respondents in connection with the hunger march and the Farmers’ Conference in Washington are mani- festing a much better understanding on the part of the correspondents as to what is more important to re- port. A good example of correspondence is the letter from the farm, corres- pondent from.Omaha, Neb. He con- cretely reports about the number of delegates attending a conference, the presence of farmers belonging to other organizations, a short report of what the Farmers’ Holiday Asso- ciation is doing, the spirit of the farmers, their demands as contrasted with the aims of their misleaders, the propaganda of the press against the activities of the farmers, and also reports of what farmers are do- ing in other sections. Follow good examples, worker and farmer correspondents. Let the Daily Worker know the activities and thoughts of the workers and farmets wherever you are. Thus you will help the Daily Worker~ be- come the real weapon of the fight- ing workers and farmers of this country. Swindle Farmer Out of Herd | of Cattle Health Department Helps Slaughter House OLD FORGE, Pa—A farmer told me how he got swindled out of 19 heads of beautiful cattle, which was all he had. He is an old experi- enced farmer, and knows how to keep his cattle in healthy condition. But the so-called Department of Health, which consists of nothing but a bunch of grafters, go around the farms to test the cattle and all domestic animals, ostensibly to see that public health is protected. ‘When they came to this farmer they claimed that all his cattle were tubercular, and told him he had to get rid of every one of them. The agent told the farmer that he will be paid $100 for them, but only if he sells these cattle to a certain slaughter house in Monirose, Pa. Otherwise he won't get anything. Se you see how clearly it shows how thespaliticians are working hand in hand with the bosses. Yes, they are well organized, and they will .keep on doing this until we workers and farmers get smash this whole misery-brerding society and establish our own work- ers’ and farmers’ government. a truck and several of the deputies atvempted to arrest the leaders, but strikers took prisoners away from them and beat the deputies. Dur- ing the encounter the chief of police of Vacaville shoved a gun in the ribs of a striker and was attempting to move him on, when several other workers hit the cop on the jaw and plainly told him that if he shot any- body they would tear him to picces. The result is that the cop did not shoot, but is nursing a black eye and several bruises. This strike is under the leader- ship of the Agriculfiiral Workers In- dustrial Union. Relief is being sent to the strikers from all towns around Vacaville. The workers in Vacaville realize that they cannot depend any more on the democrats than on the republicans. These parties both stand for the bosses which means, more wage cuts, more starvation and more misery for the working class. Frank H. Buck surely did a good job in giving us a chance to expose the Democratic Party in his own home town. Now the workers are organizing into militant brganiza- ‘tions such as the Agricultural Work- ers Industrial Union, which supports the program of the Communist Party.—B. A.
