er eee & || International By PETER HENRY. TRISH MINERS ON STRIKE DUBLIN, Nov. 18 (by mail).—The miners in the Castlecomer Colliery in Kilkenny, 400 strong, have been locked out for pressing their claims and grievances. Any coal and culm passing through a one and one- quarter inch screen is sold by the company but the miner gets no pay for it. All he is paid for is the nut coal and the large lumps passing over the screen. The mine inspector has not entered certain parts of the mine as Jong as he has held the job. The strike is now five weeks old, and the miners are holding out sol- idly, refusing to be staryed into sur- render. Collections for ‘support are being made all over Ireland for the | strike fund. TRISH UNEMPLOYED CONGRESS A huge Unemployed Congress opened Dec. 1 in the Mansion House, Dublin, with delegates representing the masses of unemployed all over Ireland. There are 70,000 unemployed in Northern Ireland at the present time, and 110,000 in the Irish Free + ®taje. The delegates have all ‘been elected at mass meetings in their re- spective areas. By organization the unemployed of Dublin and Belfast have won important concessions from the authorities, The Irish Un- employed Workers’ Movement, which organized the congress, aims to link up every city, town, and village in Ireland to press forward the de- mands of the unemployed masses on the authorities responsible for grant- ing relief and provision of emergency public works. Socialists As Seen By A Capitalist. In “La Republique,” bourgeois Paris daily, a Mr. P. Dominique makes the following comparison between the Socialists and the Communists: “As for methods, there is nothing in common between the Socialists and i}the Communists. The former are reformists, embarrasseq by their phrases, who pretend to defend the working class but whose leaders are bourgeois, who talk Revolution with- out any intention of making one. Proof of this? Neither in England, ‘nor in Australia, nor in Germany have the Socialists done anything or tried anything—when they possessed power or shared power — to act as revolutionaries.” Not only in methods, Mr. Domi- mique, but in principles as well is there an unbridgeable gulf between the Second International of the Soci- lalists and the Third Communist In- ternational! But there is no opposi- tion to united struggle of Socialist and Communist ,workers for their class demands! From Britain ‘Don't hit him, pal—he's a thirst marcher, not a hunger marcher. STRIKES IN SPAIN SEVILLE (by cable—delayed) — Governor Garcia has announced that unless thousands of strikers in this province return to work immediately ‘martial law will be declared and they will be compelled to go back to work by military force. The .Communist Party has issued nanifestoes and leaflets calling upon |. workers to profit by the present “isorganization in Seville to start a ‘general strike and if possible trans- form it into the social revolution. The authorities have posted large numbers of soldiers, civil guards and “shock troops” throughout the prov- ince “to energetically repress all dis- order”, that is, to break all strikes. At the same time, Governor Gar- cia is endeavoring to break the transport strike that has completely |} paralysed the railroads in this region, For several months the province of Seville has been involved in strikes and revolutionary outbreaks, which have caused great financial losses to the capitalists and have resulted in great numbers of workers being killed and wounded by the police during strikes in various industries for higher wages and better living conditions. Big The Spanish working class is in a state of ferment. Bourgeois dis- patches tell of the danger of a revo- Iutionary uprising all over Spain, _ which the social-fascist coalition gov- | aient of Zamora and Azana is preparing to meet with all the arm- ed resources of the state. The eco- nomie pressure in Spain will be fur- ther intensified by Argentina’s re- fesal to allow any more immigrants to enter that country after Jan. This eri effectively cripple the Spanish government's plans to ex- ratriate a large number of the Span- ish unemployed to South America, “Lhe struggle against militarism must not be postponed until the moment when war breaks out. Then it will be too late. The « le against war must be car- on now, daily, heurly.” eS Delegates of Unempl IN WILMINGTON; MILITIA BARRICADES CUMBERLAND Police and Troops Sent Against Marchers, But Workers by Thousands Greet Them pha ‘y se HOLD RANKS IN FACE OF TERROR Gas, Machine Guns and Avalanche Prepared CUMBERLAND, Mr., Dec, 4.—Guns bristled throughout Cumberland, as hundreds of deputised business men, armed with revolvers and blackjacks, Company G. of the National Guard, and the police forces of all towns around gathered behind barricades of hay along the road, and in the nar- row rocky pass through which the marchers had to come last night. Deputies were sent up the high rock walls with levers ty ralease tons of| rock onto the heads of the marchers below. Mayor Henderson, who took general command of the gunmen forces, and in every way treated the march of elected representatives of the job- less, wholly unarmed, going to ask relief for the millions of starving, as though they were an invading army. All the talk in business circles and local papers was of a “citizen army” to “protect Cumberland from cap- *.. Militia and State Police Henderson took advice from Cap- tain Harry Flock of the militia, and from Captain Edward Johnson, who came to command the 70 state police also mobilized at Cumberland. With forces of gunmen actually ex- ceeding in number the 1,300 delegates marching toward the city, with the town and its approaches turned into @ fortress, the leaders of the gunmen rode to the city limits to order the march away from Cumberland. Mayor Henderson rode in a car filled with city and military offi- cials, and behind him came a car- loag of machine guns, and another full of tear gas bombs. Sam Krieger and other leaders of. the National Hunger Maren column came forward and parlied with the mayor under the guns of his bar- ricaded thugs. Went Through City Local jobless and the sympathetic farmers around the city had ar- ranged for a nerby farm to be used as camping grounds for the march- ers, and had assembled some food. The mayors’ threats and demon- stration of force did not terrorize the marchers. They demanded food and Jodging, and when refused, demanded and after some talk finally secured the right to pass through Cumber- lang and proceed to the eamping grounds, where they ate, slept last night and proceeded this morning toward Washington. The police broke them up into small detachments during the passage through town. The delegates at Cumberland Sat- urday night are from all the states of the West, Middle West, Northwest and Southwest, the lake shore region, and the heavily industrialized West- ern Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio mine and steel region. They marched to this point in Column 1 of the National Hunger March, starting from, Seattle, three weks ago; in Column 2 from San Franciseo and Column 3 from Los Angeles starting about the same time as Column 1; in Column 4 from Sioux City, starting Nov. 21, and Column 5 starting that day also from Houston, Texas. Columns2, 3 and 5 had had, the night before, an argument with the massed police forces of Parkersburg and vicinity. Columns 1 and 4 had broken down the police opposition in Uniontown, Pa,, Friday night, and won release of the truckload of marchers arrested there. \ ‘The combined Columns 2, 3 and 5 actually got to Cumberland during the night after most pf she delegates of the other columns had proceeded to the farm. They had been some- what delayed by the Parkersburg af- fair, Federal Orders The expense of the military and deputy mobilization and the cost of the munitions gathered to bomb and shoot the hunger marcher was in Breat excess of the cost or feeding them, Cumberland authorities re- fused to feed and lodge the marchers on the ground that the city had no money.

But the workers shouted and waved their welcome, Trial of South River : Strikers | on Today NEW BRUNSWICK, N.

The Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union together with the International Labor Defense is con- ducting a campaign for their defense.

(NIGHT OF BATTLE IN WILMINGTON Women Marcher:, Locked in Gas Filled Church WILMINGTON, Del., Lec. 4 savage attack on the women's di egation in the National Hun March Column 8 was launched by reinforced police army here Fr‘ night, after the marchers had bu through the restrictions against pa- rading into Baltimore, A night of fighting followed in which four police were crippled, the women were locked into a tear gas filled church, scores of marchers were badly beaten including the Column captain, Carl Reeve, and Ben Gold, member of the leading committee of the column, Gold was also arrested and sentenced to 40 days in jail and $50 fine. Ann Burlak and Rebecca Grecht were arrested. Orloff, a del-| egate of the jobless from Connecti- cut was beaten up and sentenced the next day to three months in jail. Several others were railroaded to} sentences of fine or imprisonment. All cases are appealed by the Inter- national Labor Defense. The attack did not break up the | Column, composed of New England, | | | "er New York, New Jersey and Delaware | marchers, and they left Saturday | morning for Baltimore. | Paraded Through Town When the column approached | Wilmington, its night stop over point | for Friday night, the authorities were still threatening and declaring that no march through the town would be allowed. Police Superintendent Black got in his high powered car and with a heavy guard around him rode out to meet the column, Capitalist news- papers report him as “shocked” at the size of the march and its militancy. At the city limits he ordered “no parade,” and the answer of the! marchers was to dismount from the | trucks and march on foot through the workers’ sections of the town, which capitalist reporters do not hesitate to call “slums,” Drives Car into Negro i Black drove his car into the march- | ers, with siern shrieking but they re-| fused to break up. He bumped his| fenders into a Negro marcher, and the police chauffeur cursed roundly. But ‘the marchers held their lines, and paraded for 40 blocks through streets lined with cheering workers. The police sent hurried calls for reinforcements, split off the women delegates, and drove them into the Polish church, leaving the men in another hall. Women Resist Imprisonment | ‘The rumor spread that the women | were to be locked into the church for | the night. The police roped off the | street on each side of the church, | and barred the throngs of Wilming- | ton workers who wanted to get in and attend the meetings of the) marchers. | The women delegates came out and | held @ meeting in front of the church though, as the capitalist re-| porters say in the local papers, “The women fought like tigers.” Several police were knocked out and many of the women workers maltreated. Gold was beaten up brutally. Police then demanded the right to arrest the leaders among the women. “Come and get them,” some one yel- led inside, and police smashed in the windows and door and hurled dozens of tear gas bombs, then after an- other sanguinary battle, barricaded the door and kept the women in all night in the church building reeking with smarting, poisonous tear gas clouds. In the second struggle, hundreds of men delegates charged to the de- fense of the women, more police were injured, and more workers clubbed and arrested. The struggle flared up again and again, and continued for a long time. Win the Armory BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 4.—Five thousand Baltimore workers met the National Hunger Marchers of the two northern columns, at the city limits last night. They lined up the street to the armory of the 104th National Guard Regiment, which the marchers occupied for the night. The armory has been denied these marchers only three days before, but the heroic defense Friday night in Wilmington against the organized police attack, the power of the onward sweep of the marchers, gaining strength and de- termination, city by city in their march toward the capital, and the mass support given them by the Bal- timore workers, caused Governor Rit~ chie and the National Guard offi- cers to change their minds at the last, minute, le of marchers, of Columns 8 Bice cere first, 1,300 strong, in vividly placarded trucks and autos from New England, eastern New York and New York City, New Jer- sey, Delaware and Maryland, swept down Baltimore St., the main street in the city to Broadway and Fay- ette streets, where 1,800 more workers greeted them.

Relief Robbers Go After Cleveland Postal Clerks | CLEVELAND, Ohio—In a move caleulated to place the burden of unemployment relief for the sub- carriers and garage emeployes of the City’s Post Office upon the Postal Workers, the Service Relations Council has issued a cir- cular in which those regularly em- ployed at the Post Office are asked to contribute a minimum of 25 cents per month.

As hearty a welcome was given the 300 delegates of the Marine Workers, | from eastern seacoast ports, who) joined the main northern. columns at the meeting. Ovation for Anna Block With tremendous enthusiasm the delegates anq Baltimore workers hailed Anna Block, captain of the) New England delegation, who was} released, after being arrested and held for deportation, just in time to join her delegation at the Baltimore meeting. Other speakers at the Baltimore meeting were Carl Bradly, of the Bal- timore Trade Union Unity Council, H. Thompson, Boston Negro unem- ployed worker and hunger marcher; Tanlin of the Marine Workers’ del egation, Anna Burlak, textile work- and New England and Pennsylvania, the National Committee of the Un- employed Councils. The marchers were fed at the Sal- vation Army kitchen due to the ag- gressive determination of Baltimore workers, in the weeks preceding the march. The Jim Crow line was cast aside in the southern city as Negro and white delegates sat side by side. The combined northern columns marched out of Baltimore at noon today for Washington, in 29 trucks, 20 automobiles, and with 2,200 elected delegates of the jobless. oa Se 6,000 in Chester CHESTER, Pa., Dec. 4—Six thous- and workers, the largest mass meet- ing of workers ever held in Chester, waited hours to greet the National Hunger Marchers of Column 8 on its way Friday from Philadelphia to Wilmington. The workers cheered and wildly applauded when the march. came in sight. The column was pre- ceded by the hospital car, with doc- tors and nurses and two sick march- ers from Connecticut. The main column came along then, led by the Hed Front Band and stopped at Ninth and Central Ave. for lunch. A grand demonstration of solidarity followed with marchers and local workers taking the stand to declare their determination to fight for the demands of the marchers. Chester workers followed in pro- cession when the columns swung out on its route to Wilmington, o 6 oe Refuse To Be Blocked Up READING, Pa., Dec. 4.—Police tried to lock all Hunger Marchers in the hall, away from the workers of the city, Friday night. The marchers re- peatedly sent delegations to the city commissioners until they finally forced a decision to withdraw the order to Jock up the marchers, All but afew of the police were then removed. Fifteen miners with wives came from Shenendoah, Minersville, Kulpmont to join the marchers. This group was sent off by a mass meeting at the court house steps in Pottsville, Read the Daily Worker every day for National Hunger March news WORKER CORRESPONDENCE | HOW CHARITY RACKETS ABUSE ___ IMPov INSULT WOMEN | AT RELIEF BURO ‘Charity’ Officials Pry| Into Personal Life NEW YORK.—This morning I went down to the Home Relief Bu- reau to find why the investigator has failed to bring that famous food ticket four days ago. The woman at the desk who is supposed to listen to such com- plaints, said: “Who told you to come here? Why don’t you scrub floors?” When I told her that I am sick and have not the right food I should have, she said: “It is good for you to go hungr After being made to feel cheaper than a stray dog on the street, I was told to go home, and that the investigator will see me tomorrow. I thought that it was only me that this beast at the desk humiliated, but no, I was no exception. To another woman with a baby in her arms, she gave the same advice: | “Go scrub floors, and look for a job.” | To a young man she : “Who | told you to get married?” to which he replied: “Were I not the gentle- man I am, I would spit in your face, | so please do not butt into my private | affairs.” | It would take up a column to tell! the humiliations and abuses the} “deserving needy” have to face, be- | fore the “starvation ticket” is handed out--if they get any at all. These | poor people are afraid to open their mouths, for fear of being stricken | off the list altogether, so they stand these abuses, downhearted, with no ray of hope whatever. L. ¥. NOTE: — These workers would not need to stand for such treat- ment if they had the backing of the masses in the Unemployed Counei], and of the neighborhood block committees. With soch mass support, these workers could stop the insults and refusal of relief, It is the duty of the worker corre- spondent who sent in this story, to put these workers in touch with the only organization which will give real backing to the demands of the unemployed. The address of the Unemployed Council is 10 E, Mth St,, Algonquin 4-5280.

Before 1927 I lived poorly. I did not have a room for myself and lived in a corner of a worker's room. In 1927 I got a room in a new workers’ settlement, Dubdovka. My room is large and light. The apart- ment consists of two rooms, large hall and kitchen. Previously I worked as turner on metals and re- ceived 2850 roubles ($115) a month, Later I was transferred to the post of foreman, (In the Soviet, Union better workers are promoted to more responsible posts.) At present I earn 325 roubles (over $160) a month. I work in the “Stalin” plant. I have seen this plant grow and have taken active part in it. Out of a number of repair shops, this plant grew into one of the giant automobile plants in the Soviet Union, Dear comrades, I am waiting for your letters. describing your life and Wa i A. MELETZ, hats with Our Worcorrs Ever since the nine columns of the Hunger March started their trek to Washington to demand unemployed relief and insurance, the “Daily Worker” has given detailed reports of their daily progress. From remote anid near-by cities and towns, from the largest and smallest localities, the reports are ‘coming daily. But who is doing all this valuable ser- vice of reporting? We have no net- work of high salaried reporters and correspondents—it is contributed by Worker Correspondents, themselves actively participating in the organ- igation of the Hunger March; it is coming direct from the field of struggle. The reports describe the organized demonstrations, the police terror how the workers are responding to the demonstrations, The reports em- brace many phases of activities in the preparation of this mass move- ment. This shows that the advanced workers are learning how to utilize their experiences for the benefit of the working masses as yet outside of the revolutionary movement and also to estimate the real value of the “Daily Worker” as an effective ap- paratus by means of which it is pos- sible to make these experiences known to as many workers as pos- sible. Now before the Hunger March comes to an end, we should consoli- date the good results obtained from the drawing of workers and farmers into this phase of activity to report to the “Daily Worker” to draw them into other activities and make the worker correspondents a real factor in the revolutionary movement. In shops and factories, mines and mills, docks, ships and railroads, of- fices and hotels, hospitals and other communal institutions, they should be made the force that will organ- ize the discontent and rebellion of the masses. |“Damned Tired” of Red Cross Relief Methods in Ala. BIRMINGHAM, Ala,—We unem- ployed workers in Birmingham are now working at the Highland Park for the 1d Cross for rotten food which we have worked for and paid for many years ago, and are now working for it again before we can get it. The Red Cross boss stands with a pistol over us while we work, like we are prisoners working out a term. I think this is a dirty low-down way to treat us workers just for rot- ten canned goods, and the food we get to last two weeks does not last one week. Ninety-five percent of all the workers are suffering from hun- ger and being naked. Many are sick and many have died from the rotten Red Cross relief. We workers are damned tired of these conditions. A WORKER. NOTE:—By building up a strong Unemployed Council in Birming- ham, the workers will be forging a weapon to fight such abuses, to get adequate relief, and to give the workers the strength to fight all the conditions to which unem- ployment subjects them.

Kansas City Vets March On BREEZE, Ill, (By Mail).—The Kansas City Contingent of the Na- tional Bonus March arrived here in high spirits after battling most of the way against police and railroad tectives who tried unsuccessfully to stop the vets from proceeding on their way to Washington. They came here form O'Fallon, I, 30 miles west of this city, where workers | and marchers held a meeting and forced the city authorities ot furnish @ truck, gas and oil to take the vets to Breeze. The bonus marchers had planned to leave Kansas City on freights, but city police and about 25 especially deputized railroad dicks were on hand and tried to break up the contin- gent. The ranks of the vets held solid, however, though they were | forced to walk to the Big Hill, two and a half miles past Caseyville, a village about ten miles out of East St. Louis. Here they attempted to catch a train, but it was moving tdo fast for them. They then built a fire {in a piece of timberland and left one vet to stand guard, while the rest went up to sleep in a mine engine room. About 1 am., two city detectives and two company dicks arrived searéhed the vet on guard and tried to ter- | Torize him into revealing where the others were. But he succeded in stalling them off and the dicks fin- ally went away, The next morning the contingent marched into O'Fallon.

Anthony also announced that orders had been sent to other B. BE. F. camps calling on them to march to Washington. Anthony is a notorious figure ip Chicago and has been working hand in glove with the police. On the first bonus march he was in thick with the Waters’ clique which be- trayed the veterans. How sincere his support of the second bonus, march is may be judged from the. fact that several weeks ago he ore- dered a representative of the Chicago Rank and File Veterans’ thrown out of the B. E.
