STORM TROOP UNIT JOINS COMMUNISTS BERLIN, Nov. 16 (By Mail).—The 54th detachment of Hitler Storm Storm Troops of Neukoelln, working- class suburb of Berlin, has left the Nazi organization in a body, joining the Communist Party. One group of Storm Troops has addressed @ manifesto to “proletarian Storm Troops,” protesting that “in place of the class struggle, the Na- tional Socialist Party offers its mem- bers guard duty at ceremonial meet- ings and participation in useless atades.” vethe disintegration of Hitler's armed forces proceeds apace. The increasing intensity of the class struggle in Germany is winning many proletarian .adherents of the Nazis away from chauvinism, anti- semitism and fascist heroics to the party of the united class struggle ront, the German Corniunist Party. In Baden the Nazi district leader, agner, has dissolved the Lahr local of the Nazi Party and expelled sev- eral local executives from the party. ‘The local has dissolved because it rebelled against the capitalist poli- cies of Hitler and his associates. * 300 WORKERS LEAVE SOCIALIST PARTY MANNHEIM, Nov. 17 (By Mail) — Because. of the readiness of the Ger- man Socialist Party to approve 4 concordat (religious treaty) with the Vatican in Baden, 300 members of the Mannhéim Socialist organization have left the party in disgust. Al- most all rank and file groups of the So¢ialist Party have adopted protest resolutions against the policies of the party leaders. Hundreds of Socialist workers are waiting for the final vote in the Baden Diet to tear up their membership cards.. The Dis- triet Committee of the Communist Party in Badén has appealéd to all Socialist workers to form united front committees together with the Comimunist workers for a fight 4painst cultural reaction, fascism and I: Social Democratic policy of coali- on. REVOLT IN THE BERLIN SOCIAL- IST ORGANIZATION A.F.L. LEADER ON BOSSES PAYROLL Commerford Paid to Prevent Strikes NEW YORK.—Patrick J. Commer~ ford, vice-president of the New York State Federation of Labor and @ leading Tammany henchoman, knows which side his bragd is buttered on. In fact, Patrick has managed to get it buttered on both sides, so that in addition -to his regular salary of $200 a week as supervisor of Local 125 of the International Union of Operating ahd Hoisting Engineers, he has been drawing pay checks from @ number of contractors. Since he is an honored member of the Tammany graft machine, no one except those in the kiiow would have learned what & wonderful pro- vider for his family Patrick had be- come were it not for the fact that George Z. Medalie, United State At- torney, is a republican and is inter- ested in showing up Tammany graft, while carefully shielding the grafters of his own party. And so Medalie spilled the beans. It was at the opening on Tuesday of Commerford’s trial in federal court on three indictments charging perjury and evasion of the federal income tax law for 1929, 1930 and 1931. Specifically, Medalie revealed that Commerford, who is also vice- president of the A. F. of L. Building Trades Council, has accepted “pre- sents” ranging from $2,500 to $7,000 from four building contractors as his price for preventing Strikes. Edward A. White, treasurer of the United Hoisting Company, also testified that he had paid Commerford $75 a week for allowing scab labor on a union job. The “presents” Comricsic“d re- ceived were $2,500 from the ©-een- mal Coristruction Company in 1529; $5,000 from Robert J. Murphy and Co. in 1930, and $7,000 from William J. Gehagan, Inc, and 5,000 from Caslin, Ine. both in 1931. Graft, in addition to their huge salaries, is the usual thing among the bureaucrats Of the American Federa- tion of Labor. At the same time they help the bosses put over wage- cuts, break strikes, oppose federal unemployment insurance and sup- port the whole starvation program of the capitalist parties, BERLIN, Nov. 22 (By. Mail) —The Sotialist Party's betrayal of the Ber- lin traffic strike has unleashed a storm of protest in the rank and file organizations of the party. Starke, a fank afd file member of the So- cialist Party in Berlin, made the fol- lowing protest in a patty meeting: “What is the use of the rank and filé members climbing up and down staifs making propaganda for thé party, when Stampfer (the editor of “vorwaerts”) téars down all we ac- complish with a single stroke of his pen? Hé ought to be shot. What's the use of all our resoliitions, if they are thrown into the waste-basket? We'll keep on losing.” Koenig, another lower functionary of the S. P. said: “If the S. P. tmettibers of the Ber- lin City Council had voted together vith the C. P. for the reinstatement £ the 2500 fired traffic employees, ney would still have their jobs! woud applause, cries of ‘bravo’).” HOW MUCH SOCIALIST “OPPO- SITION” 18 WORTH DRESDEN, Dec. 3.The “Dresden- er Volks#eitung,” Socialist daily frankly states that the report that “the German Socialist Party has brusquely tejected collaboration with a@ government of national conceritra- tion (the capitalist united front)” is ‘not true.” The: Social Detnocracy merely refused to negotiate with Col. von Papen. In other words, the So- cialists are willing to participate in a united bourgeois coalition, but re- quiré some other figurehead to ap- pease theit dissatisfied adherents. A SOCIALIST ADMISSION OF DEFEAT CHEMNITZ, Nov. 17 (By Mail) “The Chemnitz “Voikstinme,” Social- ist daily here, comments as follows on the recent German elections: “The defections among the Social- ist, voters all went to {he Communists, without éxception; but the Commu. nist Party also succeéded in winnnig ni ]/ votes, most of which came ho di | bb from those voting for the first ‘tifle.” the Socialist losses, it Sect place nohe those.

But today, when Columns from the North West, Middle West, West, Southwest and South marched out on the road homie, the police again tushed forward, jeering and shouting insults, yelling “Come on and fight, you cowards,” as they flourished their riot guns and tear gas bombs at the unarmed délegates of the unein:| ployed. The police harried the tarch, in- terfered, bullied and threatened. The marchers maintained iron dis- pi be paraded on out of the ‘amp and are now on their way out of Maryland. e Certainly Not a Retreat ‘The marchers as they pulled out of camp at 12:30 today, were not “in retreat” as the press here tries to say. They were carrying out, on schedule, their original plan, to come to Washington, to hold theif confer- ence, adopt theit resoliitions, and demands for $50 Winter Relief, Un- employment Insurance, etc. ‘They fulfilled their program to the letter, in the face of every obstacle the most powerful capitalist govern- ment could throw in their way. Now they are courageously going about the second part of their task, to re- turn at once to those who sent them, and lead new struggles. Shouts and Singing As the columns swung out of camp, in orderly detachments, militant Songs Were roared, and shouts arose and continued from the marchers: “We demand Winter Relief!” “we demand Unemployment Insurance.” The trucks ahd autos still blazed With the placards and painted ear- toons that put forth the demands and determination of the National Marchers, Police brutality, deliberate starva- tion of the marchers, refusal of the authorities to allow the workers in Washington and Cumberland to pros vide lodging as they to, has resulted in two deaths and. may bring on others.

This impudeut demand is Soviet Union and oceurs at a time when Japanese troops are already directly on the Soviet frontiers. Most of the insurgents entered the Soviet Union by seizing trains on the Chinese Eastern Railway after offi- cials of the road refused to grant them transportation. Hundreds of others walked across the frontier at various points. York Times reports relief in Nanking campaign against the Japanese in- vadei's. The Nanking traitors are at the same time trying to placate the mass anger against their con- sistent betrayal of the national rev- olutionary struggle in Manchuria by now coming forward with an offer to transport Gen. Shu’s defeated army to Shanghai. Gen Su is reported to) have telegraphed to Peiping officials announcing his withdrawal with 4,000 volunteers from Manchuria into So- viet territory because of lack of am- nunition and stipplies with which to resist the Japanese ‘offensive. At the same time is reported that Chinese insurgents abroad had subscribed $10,000,000 Since September 18 for the national revolutionary struggle in Manchtitia. Evidently this huge sum like the millions subscribed for the heroic 19th Route Army which aided working class defense of Shanghai, has found its way into the pockets of the corrupt Nanking clique. The collapse of Gen. Su’s cam- paigh does not thean a gefieral col- lapse of the national revolutionary struggle against the Japahese. This struggle continues in wide areas of Manchuria. Junuis B. Wood, special correspondent of the Sun, made a tour of Manchuria within the past few days and reports an intensifi- cation of the struggle, despite the presence of htige numbers of Jap- anesé¢ troops at every railroad sta- tion and town.

Gen. Hans Kundt, German officer, has returned to Bolivia to take com- mand of the Bolivian forces in the Gran Chaco. Thé Bolivian govern- ment is using his presence in an at- tempt to revive mass support for the war.

The greatest share of these losses has occurred during ihe last year, when 7,047,840 savings accounts were wiped out with a loss of $3,925,- 898,000. The disastrous results of the crisis on the savings bank deposits is re- flected in the figures for June 30, 1931, to June 30, 1932, when 77 per cent of the drop in depositors and 90 ia cent of the decrease in deposits derous capitalist press here tries to fuake out that his death was “sui- cide.” Five of the marchers are ill with pneumonia, and 15 have influenza.

But neither cops, nor hunger,—and the Hunger Marchers are hungry— nor sleepless nights on a wind- swept hill, can break the determina- tion of the marchers. They have waited hours for a sandwich and a cup of beans. They have sat on cold, red mud of the railroad em~- bankment, and looked down on emp- ty pullman cars on the tracks below. They have looked out over Wash- ington with its empty churches, emp- ty halls, empty rooms, where they might have had warm beds and a chance to wash and shave, Bub they are denied all shelter by the ruling tlass authorities. Only the women delegates have entered the city for short nights in the homes of sympa= thizers.
