TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 19¢ International — Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON IRISH. ELECTIONS De Valera, Prime Minister of the Trish Free State, has dissolved the Dail Hireann, the Irish Congress, or- dering new election on Jan. 24, in an tmdeavor to obtain a supposedly ‘nationalist” majority in the Dail. Dne of the prime reasons for his Hoing this is the rising wave of anti- tmperialist feeling in Southern Ire- land, coupled with the growing movement among the working class gainst unemployment and wage uts against oppressive taxation and tents among the poor farmers of the country. In order to combat this movement Sap De Valera and his Fianna party are trying to cloak them- felves in the mantel of “patriotism” and anti-Britishism. This effort is given the lie however by De Valera’s fentences of militant anti-British boycott organizers to jail for inter- fering with British trade. At the same time, Mulcahy, Heu- tenant of ex-President Cosgrave (the ik supporter of Britain’s imper- falism in Ireland), is deserting his former chief and organizing what he falls a pariy of Irish union to effect e “unity” of a free Irish nation. again, as even pro-Wall St. lew York Times” admits, is but a feflection of the leftward trend among even Cosgrave’s adherents.’ Now Mulcahy appears on the scene trying to steal De Valeras national- ist thunder and weaken the militant ‘truggle for Irish freedom now being ged by the Revolutionary Workers’ Broupe with the assistance of the tt elements in the I. R. A, the frish Republican Army. It is the latter two that have or- nized the Boycott British League fe are waging a determined battle gainst British rule, no matter Whether unconcealed or under a De falera mask. The impending for- tion of the Communist Party of land will lend immeasurable itrength to the growing movement for true Irish freedom—free from tain as well as from native Irish tapitalist and landlord exploiters. Crane eae) NAZIS DONATE 3,000,000 TO DUKE WEIMAR, Germany, Dec. 24. (By wnail)—The Nazi Government of Thuringia, which refuses to appro- priate a cent for the destitute un- bmployed of that State, has agreed jo pay 3,000,000 marks to one of the former minor rulers of the country, the Duke of Altenburg. The Thur- mgian towns and cities are practic- ally bankrupt because of the finan- tial strain on their resources, but the the state government is unwilling to turnish any support for unemploy- ment relief, instead appointing dic- tatorial commissioners to rule cities that cannot meet their relief obliga- jions. For the spendthrift princes and dukes, however, millions are al- ways available. wh ene et CULTURE IN THE SOVIET UNION A random questionnaire among workers in the Stalinsk metallurgical plant revealed thd 50 per cent of them possessed from. 100 to 500 books tach. Out of 20 men questioned, 14 pend three to 20 rubles a month for ks. A large majority of the rkers are studying in various ourses, some in regular schools while others take lessons at home. Compare this outlay for cultural yurposes in the Soviet Union with the amount the average American 's able to spend for books, and you see another reason why it pays for the working class to rule. GIANTS OF THE FIVE YEAR PLAN Under this heading we shall print &t intervals short descriptions of the bew industrial giants built in the Soviet Union which are as yet merely names and nothing more to the American workers. The Kuznetsk plant, under con- ptruction in Western Siberia near the Altai Mountains, is located near where 400 billion tons of coal ’re ayailable. This is more than the coal that Germany has yt its disposal and six times the yesources of the entire Donetz Basin. eee coal is of higher quality the Donetz product and eheaper. Of the four blast furnaces at the Hjuznetsk, each with a capacity of tons daily, two are already ictioning. The open hearth shop consists of 15 furnaces. Soviet construction is proud of the fact that no other met- ‘allurgical plant in the world has furnaces of equal size. The open hearth shop wil Ihave an annual out- put of 1,450,000 tons of steel. The rolling mill is equipped to produce 1,130,000 tons of finished goods annu- ally, including 5,000 miles of rail- road rails. Coke is being produced. by four batteries of 51 ovens each. The Kuznetsk plant is being built, according to the last word in mod- ern technique. All heavy work is done by machinery. The machinery for charging the blast furnaces is largely automatic, operated by one worker. The plant has its own huge — station with a capacity of, 108,000 kw. f porcelain per day. Sevigi HEART BLEEDS FOR VETS | work-rs Foden to gun, Mrs. Alice Scribner, 24, driven | desperate by the cries of her three hungry children, attempted to hold up a bakery. But these individual actions don’t work. We need a mass fight for immiéiate relief and unemployment insurance. SMASH COSGRAVE MEET IN IRELAND 380 Injured On White Army DUBLIN, Jan. 9, — The election campaign in which the Irish Revolu- tionary Workers Groups will run candidates on a program of complete separation from Great Britain and a Workers’ and Farmers’ Republic, has opened in a manner that indicates it will be one of the most bitter struggles of its kind in Irish history. Break Up Cosgrave Meeting. At a Cosgrave meeting here, with the sister of the traitor Michael Col- lins, and General Mulcahy, former minister of defense in the Cosgrave government, among the principal speakers, the crowd refused to listen and boced them down. Fighting broke out when the Cos- grave White Army contingent of 700 men attacked the crowd in co-opera~ tion with the police. This combina- tion of force. was not strong enough to disperse the crowd which repelled the attacks and held its ground un- til the speakers decided it was use- Jess to try to continue. Smash White Army Windows. 30 persons are reported to have been injured in the fighting. ‘The windows of the headquarters of the Cosgrave White Army were smashed by the crowd in which were large numbers of Irish Republican Army members and sympathizers. Cosgrave is running on an open pro- British platform. The Sinn Fein organization has issued a statement amounting to a boycott of the elections saying that since neither de Valera or Cosgrave stands for complete independence it can support neither. ‘It is a matter of public knowledge, however, that most of its members are working against Cosgrave. Bishop Aids Britain. Bishop Fogarty has made the charge, as a method of supporting Cosgrave and British imperialism, that the witholding of the $15,000,- 000 yearly in land annuity payments from Britain is a “form of highway robbery”. This has aroused gréat mass resentment. VET ORGANIZING SQUAD KEEPS ON Hold Meeting Thurs. in Binghampton BINGHAMTON, N, Y., Jan. 9.—The squad of seven veterans from the Kansas City contingent of the sec- nd bonus march, which is now on an organizing tour, leaves here tomor- row for Rochester, where a meeting will be held Thursday, January 12, Good meetings have already been held in Binghamton and before that in Stamford, Conn. Everywhere the vets are being warmly received, From Stamford the squad, which is under the leadership of Harry Smith, went to Camp Nitgedaiget, and then to Binghamton. Persistent tire trouble has been preventing the squad from going as fast as it had intended. From Rochester the vets will go to Buffalo, where they expect to hold a meeting Friday, Jan. 13; then to Erie, Pa., Jan. 14; Cleveland Jan. 15; Toledo, Jan. 18, and Detroit, Jan, 19. ‘The members of the squad are ral- lying the veterans in these cities in a united front movement for relief for the jobless vets and for immedi- ate payment of the bonus. This is in accordance with the program adopted at the bonus marchers’ conference in ‘Washington Dec. 8. We Sen e@ Sham Battle Over Bonus NEW YORK,—A sham battle over the question of the bonus was staged over Station WOR, with Representa- tive Patman, sponsor of the bonus bill in the last session of the House of ntatives, and Charles M. Kin- solving of the American Veterans As- sociation, a vicious anti-veteran out- Sit, both uniting in warning against revoluton, i Patman advocated that the bonus be paid by currency inflation. This would reduce the value of the dollar rs and of driving still larger _sts of farmers and smali busi- Vets Expose War Preparations in Fight) VETS AND WORKERS IN ARMED FORCES WRITE Workers of the Illinois National Guard Explain Class Meaning of Force Thousands Demand Lower Rent, No Evictions Fellow-Workers Are Told of Significance of Duty in Mine and Industrial Struggles CHICAGO, Ill—Note: A group of workers in the 124th Field Artillery of the Illinois National Guards, wishes to address the following letter to the workers of the 124th through the Daily Worker; Comrades of the 124th F.S.LN.G.; Let’s not forget ourselves because of the patriotic speeches our colonel gave us in our last review. We are workers, and as workers we must stand for the workers. Our Colonel is a President of a bank, but just the same he cut our pay last summer a dollar for each enlisted man to pay for the cooks, when everyone knows the state must pay for the cooks and not us. Why They Use Us In Mine Area ‘We all must see clearly that what they want to use us for is to kill other workers who are starved by these bankers, and are rebelling a- gainst these conditions. Let us find out why the National Guards were called into the mine fields by Mr. Emerson, our Governor. Mr, Emer- son and our General Black have a big interest in these mines and they would sooner kill these miners than pay them a decent wage. And our own comrades in the Guards went down to take a crack at these Reds. Yes, they call everybody Red now if he starts yelling for his living, and sure they will call us Reds too if we go and complain about our own conditions. » So they call four millions of Ex- servicemen Reds because they were fighting for democracy in 1917-1919 and made a lot of bankers and mil- lionnaires out of colonels and gen- erals, and today they are thrown out of homes with their wives and chil- dren starved, with no chance of em- ployment. And when our former buddies went to Washington to ask for their back pay (the bonus), these bankers, like our Colonel, called the new rookies out and took a crack at them with rifles and gas bombs, etc. Our Buddies Are Starving Of course our colonel had a lot to do here too because he is a President ef a bank. It doesn’t seem that General J. J. Pershing is starving by getting 20,000 dollars per year, but our buddies, the ex-privates, are the ones that are starved, shot and gas- sed for asking a chance to live, Mr. Hines, the lumber king, who is at the head of the Vets Bureau, is trying his damnest to cut the al- Jowances of our wounded and dis- abled vets. The same thing will hap- pen to us if we don’t wake up and get organized to fight the enemy of our class. Comrades, such service bars and such patriotic speeches did not fill our stomachs on Christmas, but our officers and especially our Colonels and Generals had a dandy time on holidays, and every day, while we and the rest of the 16 millions of workers are starving. Let us organize in worker’s organ- izations and let us use our fighting ability against our class enemy, the bosses. Hoping this will reach not only our regiment, but all over the regulars, Marines and Navy, and every branch, especially the chemicals. “_-Enlisted Unemployed Workers of the Illinois Nafional Guard. WHY DID CURTIS GET SORE AT HOOVER REBUKE WASHINGTON, D. C.~When our ex-servicemen’s committee went un- der heavy police escort to present the demands of the vets to Vice- President Curtis, he got very angry and rebuked our*committee for what he said was a discourteous reference to President Hoover. This seems strange to me in view of the fact that so far as I know, Vice-President Curtis has never at- tempted to rebuke those many mil- lions of American voters who last November handed President Hoover a rebuke that practically amounted to a recall, ees ED.

WORKER WRITES ON VET HOOVERVILLE NEW YORK, N, ¥.—At West 79th St. and North River, .25 veterans are encamped in a Hooverville. Big dealers such as Cushman, A. and P. and other capitalist trusts supply | Pl them with food, clothing, shoes, and cigarettes, and those who visit them, give them a few coins.

What price glory, to keep them quiet by giving them charity by the capitalists. This camp is a show-place to show how well unemployed veterans can share for themselves. It is practically the Hooverville that ever gets into VET-HUNTING SEASON OPEN IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C.—I believe I have discovered a new sport here in the East. Out in California, in the fall of the year, we have an open season of game. Those of us who care to indulge, buy our own hunting licenses and hunting material. But when I was here with the rest of the ex-servicemen to present our demands for the bonus, I found that the District of Columbia had de- clared an open season on the vets. And not only did the District of Columbia furnish the hunters guns and ammunition, but also clubs, mo- torcycles, blue uniforms, a bright lit- tle star, and a fat salary, Out west the only paid hunters are in the employ of the state or federal government, and are paid to hunt predatory animals. Can it be pos- sible that world war veterans and ex-servicemen are now classed as a menace to the little lambs of Wall Street? 29 CENTS DAILY FEEDS SOLDIERS IN PANAMA COROZAL, Canal Zone—We have it pretty tough here, as it rains and it is hot most of the time. We have a night check. We can’t stay out after 11:30, and if one does, he gets court martial and may get a month in the guard house or company pun- ishment. The clothes they issue is not very good. They have it so that we buy all our clothes from the post ex- change. They issue shirts that cost us $1.35, and they fade from olive drab to white; and once they are white you are not allowed to wear them. We could get shirts in priv- ate stores at $1.50, $2.00 and $2.50, but they don’t fade.

While the boss press continually speaks about sniping on the part of the Progressive Miners, the truth of the matter is, that the gun thugs wore the white arm bands to keep bed clothes washed outside, which costs another $3.00 a month. We have to buy evening dress, too, We only get 29 cents a day for our meals, or 9 1-3 cents per meal and that is pretty damn little for a soldier.

PIONEERS DESCRIBE THE WAR SITUATION NEW YORK CITY.—A couple of Pioneers in-the Coney Island troop heard the events of the week at 8:30, over WABC station Friday night, where the speaker said that Russia and the United States made an al- liance to stop Japan's doings in China. We have been following this whole situation in the Daily Worker, and we analyze this speech as fol- lows: ‘That the Unitéd States wants Chi- na, and also is wanting to declare war on the Soviet Union, the only worker’s government, and is giving Japan an excuse to declare war on the Soviet Union. The speaker also said that they are rushing 100,000 untrained troops during the next months to come. ELJI COHEN, LOUIS RUSS, (Coney Island Pioneer Troop.)

The snipers probably were | told: “Don’t aim at those who wear white arm bands.” The home of Mrs. Cumeralato is located directly across the road from the thugs and on the side where the union pickets were. At 5:30 Mrs. Cumeralato came to the door to call her husband, Albino, into the house. To do this she only partly opened the door. Her husband immediately went into the house and saw his wife walk across the room and fall over dead. These facts were given’ to the Daily Worker representative by the | husband of the dead woman. An in- vestigation on the porch showed that about ten other bullets had struck the house, While the boss press and the “Illi- nois Miner,” organ of the United Mine Workers, rave about the homes of the scabs being bombed, the home of Joe Corso, g leading member of the Progressive Union, was bombed and completely wrecked. First, some bombs were set off at 2:30, and then the Lewis-Peabody thugs came back at 4:30 and finished the bombing. Directly across the street from the home of Joe Corso is a gasoline sta- tion owned by Fred Bassano, also a member of the Progressive Miners. This place was also wrecked by a bomb. Most of the other houses in the vicinity were raked by machine gun fire. pa On the morning of the shooting, at about..4:30, some deputies of Sheriff Weinecke, democrat, and bitter foe of the Union miners, carrying two- foot cables and riot guns, tried to chase the miners off the picket line, but were themselves chased away by the miners and city police, friendly to the Progressives. These facts prove that the sheriff and other thugs were especially vicious on this day and that the thugs were organ- ized into military formation for the purpose of actually shooting the striking miners. Two Scabs Shot. The following morning two scab miners were shot on their way to work. The sheriff rounded up all the miners in the vicinity of the shooting and made it his business to especially arrest the Italian miners who have proved such good fighters. Mass protests from all over the country should be sent to the gov- ernor and to the sheriff of Christian County, demanding that arrested miners be released ,and that the gun thugs be immediately disarmed. ee eee KINCAID, Ill, Jan. 9.—Fifteen hundred striking miners and their wives turned out for the funeral of Mrs. Albino Cumeralta. There were determined looks on the faces of the miners and their families as the body of their slain comrade was carried out of the house. Scores of state patrolmen, as well as National Guardsmen, who re- cently killed Andy Gonis, a miner, were on hand, while two army planes circled overhead. is Buried Next to Gonis ‘The fighting miners marched from Kinkaid to Taylorville and buried Mrs. Cumerlato next to the grave of Andy Gonis. The grave is also near that of George Franklin Bil- ularly treacherous. The corrupt of- ficials of District 1, UMWA, have been in constant negotiation with the Glen Alden company, but fear of the revolt of their rank and file has prevented them from concluding a wage-cut agreement. The UMWA chiefs, however, stayed away from the “Citizens Committee” meeting in order not to interfere with their plans. After the miners had been | tricked into signing the petition, the | UMWA chiefs issued a statement de- claring that they had had nothing to do with it. The statement, which was full of high sounding phrases about “the splendid traditions” of the UMWA, contained not a word calling on the miners to fight against the slave contract. An appeal has been issued by a rank and file group of unemployed miners, calling on the miners to re- fuse to sign the slave agreement and urging them to organize a united | front struggle of employed and un- | employed against the coal operators and the corrupt union officials, and | for relief and unemployment insur- | ance. | Irish Worker Groups Ask for F Help From the Irish Revolutionary Workers’ Groups the Daily Worker has received today a cablegram | requesting that it make public the following appeal: “The Irish Revolutionary Work- ers’ Groups urge American work- ers and Irish Republican exiles to send immediate financial help for our election fight.” The Daily Worker will accept and forward contributions for the election fund of the Irish Revolu- | tionary Workers’ Groups and for | support of their paper, the “‘Vork- ers’ Voice,” whose publication has been prohibited in Ireland by the intimidation of the Valera govern- | ment and is now forced to publish in Glasgow.

The Taylorville headquarters of the Progressive Miners of America and the relief kitchen, which were raided by National Guardsmen and closed, have again been opened. One of the school teachers said that of the 35 children in her class, 30 were eating in the soup kitchen. She told how the children cried when the kitchen was closed. Miners Militant The miners in this section are very militant.’ They are fighting against the Peabody Coal Company, the same company that paid Frank Farrington $25,000 a year while he was president of District 12 of the United Mine Workers, John L, Lewis, czar of the U.M.LW., and “Weeping” Johnny Wal- ker, who split with Lewis a couple | of years ago, but has now come back into the fold and been made district president, are helping the coal com- pany in its fight against the miners by recruiting sree fad gunmen, Miners Need Relief CHICAGO, Jan. 9.—The Chicago section of the Workers International Relief has issued an appeal to all workers and working class organiza- tions to come to the aid of the strik- ing Illinois miners: The miners are | facing starvation, the most terrible | weapon of the bosses in breaking the back of a strike.

DULUTH, Minn, Jan. 9.—The report of the National Hunger March is meeting with enthusiastic response on the part of the young workers of Duluth. A mass senti- ment has developed especiaily among | the youth of West Duluth for the program of struggle as the only way the youth find themselves. An Un- employed Youth Action Group has been organized which is growing with every meeting. The young workers in Duluth ar the giving of relief or jobs. Single are told that it isn’t even any use for them to register. “You are sin- gle. You don’t need any work,” they say. Single workers aren’t even given dentistry work at the County Clinic were a doctor is drawing a solary for that purpose. The unemployed youth of Duluth will conduct a determined fight against these condtions. Groups are organizing meetings in different sec- tions of town to organize for strug- gle.
