aT. Jats 4 GERMAN COMMUNISTS FIGHT HITLER FOR BREAD, | FORGOTTEN MEN ' DEMAND ACTION Present Demands to| Roosevelt Mar. 4th (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) more then six thousand demanding three days’ work a week at $4.50 per day paid in cash, All details for carrying o% tka; to be administered by the unemployed. Until this is put into effect the commissaries must be retained. Workers Demands Refused. County Welfare Commissioner Shannon refused to grant the de-| mands of the unemployed and re- tused to state what relief will be,| but intimated that it will amount to from $1 to $4 per week for a family of four, but the joker coven of this hunger ration is that i: will be paid in retail grocery store scrip on the basis of forced labor. Bill Dobbins, now president of the Unemployed Citizens’ League, and Forrest, secretary of the State United | Front Committee of Action, were the spokesmen for the workers and put forth the demands on the basis of the exposure of the miserable con- ditions of the jobless and part-time workers in the city and county. Preparing State Hunger March, There was a parade through the streeis of 6,000 to the city-county building demanding of the county commissioners that they supply gas and trucks for the state hunger march on Olympia, March 1, and also demanding that commissioners force action on the relief demands. Two thousand occupied the building and voted to remain until an answer was given on the demands, For six hours the county commissioners argued, and. had their arguments ripped to pieces by the spokesmen of the workers, They then went home, but the meeting of the unem- ployed continued all night. Committees succeeded in obtaining food foy the Unemployed Citizens’ Leagre, which met Tuesday night, j and then adjourned and marched in bodies to swell the ranks of the work- crs occupying the city-county build+ ing. Workers Stream Into Town. Comunittees of workers at each commissary turned streams of work- ers into town all day Wednesday and still workers continue to arrive from many parts of the state, The first delegations arriving Wednesday came into the city at three o’slock in the morning. The first was the Belling- ham People’s Council that came from a hundred miles away. The Ana-~ cortes Unemployed Council sent a big delegation, Before Wednesday there were already 9,000 here from outside King's County, and reports are to the effect that workers from all over the entire state are converging on Seattle. oe Demonstrate Against Chicago Judge. CHICAGO, Feb. 16.—On Feb. 18 the Home Owners’ Committee of the Un- employed Councils of Cook County demonstrate against the courts { for issuing orders of eviction. The Aemonstration will take place before the home of Judge Dennis B. Sulli- van, of the Superier Court, notorious for years as one of the most vicious antivlabor and injunction judges and who has been one ef the worst of the eviction judges. The demonstrar tion is at 2:30 before the residence at $400 Lake Shore Drive. On Feb. 20 all members of the Home Owners’ Committees aye ex- pected to be at the county building, Randolph and Clark Sts. where a fight will be put up before the mas- ter of chancery against the taking away of homes of jobless, All over the county and through- out the state of Illinois preparations are going forward for the mass dem~ onstrations being prepared for March 4, wen Roosevelt becomes hunger president.

The huge auditorium wags filled with sturdy men and women from the vil- lages, The deletates are sitting by regions and national republics with a wide variety of racial features and varb blending into one family of Soviet nations. Ovation For Rugged Heroes The presidium was elected from shock brigadiers of the leading col- lective farms. A tremendous ovation greeted these rugged heroes of labor as men and women, in high felt boots and rough and tumble work clothes, they marched up to the stage taking their seats besides Stalin, Molotov, Kalinin and other Soviet leaders ‘whose appearance earlier brought out a burst of enthusiasm. Kagano~- vich, presiding, opened the session with a ringing speech, pointing out the importance of the occasion, sketching the tremendous gains in the reconstruction of rural economy and stressing the next tasks pro- ‘posed. The speaker was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause, swaying the delegates by his apt ut- terances forcefully delivered. He de- glared, in part: “We now have tens of thousands of collective farms, hupdreds of thousands of herole collective farm shock troopers. This first gather- ing of collective farm shock troop- ers is a striking expression of our victories. This cenference will rey sult in further still greater streng- thening of the union of workers and the collective peasantry, still greater strengthening the ties of friendship between the leading col- lective farm shock troopers of the Socialist fields, and the leading worker shock brigadiers of Social- ist industry,” Moscow Greets Meet The friendly ties of the Soviet pro- letariat and the collective farms’ veasantry was splendidly demonstra- t|ted by the appearance of a delega- tion of Moscow shock brigadiers marching upon the stage with the banners of their plants. One after another they greeted their fellow shock brigadiers in the Socialist fields, appealing for the utmost as- sistance in carrying out the full pro- gram of rural upbuilding. As a token of the firm solidarity and friendship ot the workers, the delegations brought gifts to the delegates from the Socialist fields, including samples of their products. These comprised electyje appliances, among which a e| huge projector from the Hlectrozaved s| Plant was conspicyous, suggesting the impression of the proletariat Nght ing up the way to Socialism. The delegation from the Trekhgorny tex- tile factory brought various textiles of fine quality and attractive pate terns. The whole thing was tremen- dously impressive. '¥CL and Red Army The Young Communist League brigade marching up to the stage and arranging themselves in strict form- ation as the speaker welcomed the delegates was another high sr There was indescribable snr when the delegations from the Army units marched up the aisles to to the strains of revolutionary music. Bugles sounding from ppposite ends of the theatre followed and accen- tuated the command to march out as the spokesman for the Red Army concluded his address of greetings, ‘Then one shock trooper after another mounted the speakers’ stand to re- on conditions in the individual collective farms.

First they did not want me to come in as I was a Negro, and seemingly did not have any place amongst the whites. After putting up a struggle with | the door man, I finally was successr ful in getting inside. As I sat down, their members, who were sitting next to me, obviously objected to a Negro and showed it by moving away. This is the type of social equality. that the Trotskyites promise the Negro masses. The speaker attacked the Daily Worker, saying it did not fight against fascism, in spite of the fact that the Daily Worker, the Central | % Organ of the Communist , from the day that Hitler took power, carried various headlines calling for united actions against fascism and for general protest strikes in Ger- many as well as in other parts of the world. The speaker attempted to point out that the O.P, is not carrying on any struggles against fascism, Altho the capitalist press is forced to ad~ ot that the O, P. of Germany, ete, is carrying on a relentless s against fascism. Many of the leaders are reported to be killed and wound- ed as @ result of the militant pro- tests. Due to the fact that he could not attack the C. P. on any other field, he turned to the trade unions of the Trade Union Unity League. The gentleman who represented his Joyal master, Mr. Capitajist Class and Trotsky & ©o., attempted to say that the T. U. U. L. policy for carrying on struggles against; wage- cuts, long hours, speed-up, etc, was incorrect, and that was his main WORKER CORRESPONDENCE objection to the C. P.

The attempt at terrorization of the Communist Party serves the purpose of side-tracking the Nazi followe from their own demands, danger to fascism is that the masses will see through this trick, and will realize that the fulfillment of their socjalist desires is possible only through Communism. Instead of bread, potatoes and coal the storm- troopers receive promises and coun- incitation. This will not hold back the breakdown of the Nagi movement for long. And knowing this, the Communist Party judges the present situation as seri- ous, but not discouraging. ~ For Unity of Workers. But, Pieck went on to explain, the Communist Party docs not want to wait uptil fascism goes bankrupt, it wants to arouse inthe working masses the will to resist, A split in the working class is one of the im- portant Rhy aaa of a fascist dicta~ ‘he Communist Party strives to bring about the un.ty of the work, terrorized, that, not much progress has been made organizationally, But we gan only build our union or work up sentiment for organization through effective propagands, through untir- ing efforts, and last, but not least, not to let oneself become dis-~ couraged, * L ing class. .Pieck emphasized that the Communist Party has already put ‘two official proposals to the Social- :05| ist Party of Germany and the reform, +93 ist trade unions to form a fighting| 4% united front, and now again repeats y.00, this offer. The first proposal was made last July 20, when Papen set up his semi-fascist dictatorship; the second Official offer was made on Jan. 30, when Hitler became Chan- cellor; and today, for the third time, when the aims and the very exist- ence of the working class are being threatened and attacked by fascism. The Socialist Party and the trade- union organizations have not yet re-| Fi plied to these open offers. All re-| sponsibility, as to the success or fail-| ure of the united working-class ac- tion, falls directly upon the leaders of the Socialist Party and of the Trade Union Organization. The} many protest strikes, especially the general strikes of Lubeck and Strass- gurt, demonstrate that the workers of Germany want to fight, oe 100,000 Hit Fascism. Over 100,000 workers marched to the Lustgarten on Feb. 7 to demon-| strate against Hitler and fascism, for | the united front of the working class, | for freedom and socialism. The dem-| onstration was called by the Social- ist Party of Germany, but tens of | thousands of Communist workers marched in closed formation, side by | side with their Socialist class-breth- | ren. (All Communist deinonstra-| tions are forbidden in Prussia and} most other states of Germany.) Just how little sincerity is in the united- action talk of Wels, Kunstler and company, leaders of the Socialist Party of Germany, can be seen from the following: Ernst Forgler, leader of the Reich- stag fraction of the Communist Party, was sent as representative of the Berlin-Bradenburg section of the Communist Party to read before the masses at the demonstration an open appeal to form a fighting working- class united front. But he was not allowed to speak, for the Socialist leaders, Wels and Kuntsler, refused permission to have this appeal read from the speakers’ stand. Just before the demonstration came to a close, thousands of leaflets were being handed out by Communist workers, and the Socialist workers read eagerly the appeal of the Com- munist Party that had been sup- pressed by thelr own leaders. The leaflets show that all discussion would have been superfluous. It reads, in part, as follows: “Everything is at stake for the | projetariat. Everything can be gained in these days, but also much can be Jost. We must, therefore, | unite immediately for common bat- te, It is a question of FREDOM or THE Wi ING CLASS, ot wages and bread. “The Communist Party wants 3 Phe| Red Sparks back into fourth place.
