DAILY WORKER, NEW YOR WED: SDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1988 Build United Front to Smash Lynching and Jin im- (FIGHT FASCIST MURDER RULE Goering Tells Cops to; Use Arms on Toilers (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tain the best possible relations with these organizations.” The police are also instructed to support strongly all nationalist activities and propaganda While taking the severest measures | against the anti-fascist organizations. Goering categorically states that the police must proceed with all! possible rigor against “Communist terrorism,” if necessary using weap- ons “ruthlessly.” He declares “con- stables using pistols carrying out these instructions will be supported by me irrespective of the results of their actions whilst ail constables tailing to do so must c.pect disci- Pplinary punishment . ... Every con- stable must remember that failure to act is more serious than errors com- mitted in carrying out instructions.” These instructions were followed by the gleeful announcement in the fas- cist press that the equality of the Na- tionalists and Marxists before the law is now abolished. Naturally, such equality was purely theoretical even previously, but the consequences of the present instructions can be ima- gined. Following a Bruening election meeting at the town of Kaiserslau- tern last night, armed fascists at- tacked a Catholic procession, killing one and wounding 11 persons. Two fascists were also injured in this first serious collision between the Catho- lcs and the fascists. Two communist workers died in the hospital yesterday as a result of) wounds received at the hands of armed fascists at Frankfort-on-Main. Another Communist worker was ser- iously injured. The usua] collisions occurred yes- terday at Berlin, Hamburg, Barmen | und other cities, with many persons njured. The police suppressed more news- oapers yesterday, including the Com- nunist dailies “Tribune” of Magde- ourg, “Arbeiter Zeitung” of Silesia, xoth for ten days. ‘The Bavarian Government has ap- sealed to the courts against the Reich oder suppressing the Munich bour- teois daily “Neuste Nachrichten.” Referring to the suppression meas- ares against the Communist press, ‘Rote Fahne,” official organ of the Communist Party of Germany, \rites: “This scandalous Hmitation of the freedom of the franchise for the Comuunist Party is only the beginning of a series of heavy blows against the fighting party of the German working class. An excep- tional law against the Gommunist Party was decided on ‘in yester- day’s meeting of the Hitler Cabinet. The prochymation is only a matter of time. The fascist enemy is sounding the call for the destruc- tion of the Communist Party. We Communists must sound the alarm tor the mobilization of the millions of working people in Germany against fascist barbarism. On the one hand capitalism and fascism and on the other Communism. That is the situation in Germany at the present moment. We Com- munists raise the banner described yesterday by Hitler as “the red banner of destruction.” We shall not retreat one inch in face of the threats of the fascist reaction and the attacks of the wage cutters. We are determined that Germany | shall be ruled by workers and peas- ants and we appeal to the masses of the exploited and the toilers to rally to the defense of the Commu- nist Party and to the defense of their own rights and lives. Hitler is in office, but Communism is on the March!” WIN FORECLOSURE FIGHT IN OHIO 1,000 Pickets Force Bank to Retreat § CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 21.—Police { called by the West Side Savings and “Loan Company arrested Greenfield, head of the Small Home and Lahd Owners Federation when he protested their attempts to eject him from the Bank. Greenfield was a member of the delegation sent by the Federation to demand that the Bank stop the evic- tion of Veronica Bolovich, 2186 West 106th Street. The bank manager re- fused to discuss the matter and turned in the police aJarm. Released on the day following his arrest, Greenfield led 1,000 members to picket the bank while a delegation presented the demand to the man- agement forcing them to change their position and grant a sixty day moratorium on Bolovich’s property. The bank further agreed to turn the property back to Bolovich and to recognize all future delegations of the Federation. ‘This action marks the second vic- tory won through mass pressure mo- bilized by the Small Home and Loan Owners Federation this week. Cops Launch Attack on Canadian Jobless VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 21.—A large demonstration of unemployed in the vicinity of the Canadian Na- tional steamship dock was attacked by the city and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Casualties resulting trom the attack were not altogether one-sided. Two constables were in- jured and several officers, as the workers put up a courageous defense. LW.O, CLEANERS, DYERS TO MEET New York.—All retail cleaners and dyers belonging to the IWO are called to mect at 8:30 p, m., Feb, 23, in i trving Plaza Haat International Notes 7 By ROBERT HAMILTON CLEAN HANDS. While the League of Nations is endeavoring to find a formula which will enable it to clear out of the Manchurian mess with as little loss of dignity and prestige as possible, the Japanese Foreign Office unblush- ingly exposes the equally dirty hands of the western imperialist powers. The Japanese militarists say: “Why do you oppose our actions jn Man- churia? You must come into court with clean hands yourself. France is preparing to annex the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Kwanesi to its colonial empire of Indo-China. Tibet is being penetrated by British interests, which also are waiting to convert South China, Kwantung and Fukien provinces into a hinterland of its Crown Colony Hongkong.” Pot Calling Kettle. When the League pro forma de- nounces Japanese militarism in China, it is merely a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Britain and France own valuable concessions on the Chinese coast, in Shanghai, Can- ton, Weihaiwei, and other cities. And the United States is “support- ing” China against Japanese aggres- sion only because, as a more efficient industrial nation, the Open Door pol- icy ensures its advantages in the race for the Chfhese market. China is again racked by interne- cine strife, subsidized by various im- perialist nations. In Shantung and Szechuan provinces the first battles of the new militarist wars haye al- ready been fought. Last year’s harvest was zood in China, but the big crop led io © drop in prices, and the peasants’ l:t has not become any lighter. The poor peasants are fJocking to the stand- ards of Communism. Chiang-Kai-Shek Drive. Not for nothing did the Lytton Re-! port declare that Communism was the greatest danger to the Nanking Government. Chiang-Kai-Shek well understands that his job is not war for national emancipation from the imperialist yoke, both in Manchurla and in the rest of China, but in war- ring against the Chinese Soviet re- gions. He Jaunched a drive against the Red Army around Hankow and suc~- ceeded in temporarily forcing it away from the banks of the Yangtze. The main body of the Red Army under the command of Ho Lung retired in good order—Chiang did not try to pursue them into Soviet territory. The second main drive was dir- ected against the Soviet district in the provinces of Anhwei, Honan, and Hupeh, because here the Soviet revo- lution threatens the capital, Nank- ing, and also controls one of the most important railroads, the Peiping- Hankow line. The counter-offensive of the Red Army soon brought the Kuomintang attack to a standstill, seven divisions of the Kuomintang army being vir- tually annihilated. In the central Soviet district the Red Army seized the initiative and went over to the offensive. As @ result of these operations the Soviet districts in North and South Kiangsi province have been united for the first time, with connections estab- lished with the Soviet region in the province of Fukien. New Soviets Arise. While Chiang-Kai-Shek led his picked troops—not against the Jap- anese—but against the Soviet dis- tricts in Central China, a new Soviet district has come into being. It sprang up on the borders of the provinces of Kansu and Shensi in the North as a result of the agrarian rev- olution and the fight for national emancipation. The Red Army here, which was formed out of guerilla detachments, now numbers over 20,000 men. Thus the Soviet revolu- tion has been extended to Northwest China. These are the military results of the fifth major offensive of the Kuo- mintang against Soviet China. The political result is the confirmation of Leninism as the teaching of the Sov- iet revolution in colonial countries. ie ae) P.S.—In the Yangtze valley, where the rule of the Kuomintang has been restored by force of arms, Chiang is- sued a decree ordering the return of confiscated lands to big landowners, and the payment of the usurious debts by the poor peasants. This re- turn to the old agrarian conditions in. this region will only serve to re- awaken the revolutionary struggle of the peasantry for agrarian emanci- pation and will doubtless cause the renewed flare-up of the revolution in the Yangtze valley. SENATE PASSES FAKE AD BILL Only Speeds March 4 Preparations (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) funds that would aid the more than 16,000,000 unemployed and the some 40,000,000 men, women and children facing hunger and want. Both of them mean only more funds for the states to spend to pay contractors who are part of the political ma- chines of graft and corruption. The few unemployed that would be in- volved would be victims of the forced labor system, which compels work at the most miserable hunger rations. March Fourth Demonstrations It is against such frauds and to fight to compel congress to grant im- mediate relief and unemployment in- surance at the expense of the gov- ernment and the bosses that great demonstrations will be staged throughout the United States on March 4, the day Wall Street puts its new hunger president into the White House.

J.—Through the Workers’ Union, Fur Workers’ Indus- trial Union and the Unemployed Council, a United Front Conference against Forced Labor was held in this city on Feb. 12, It was pointed out by the delegates from 15 labor |and fraternal organizations that at the recent Public Hearings on the county and city budgets the Unem- Workers’ Union and the Communist Party were the only organizations that put up a fight for the unem- ployed. Over $2,000,000 was appro- priated for the bankers and this amount was demanded for the aid of the unemployed. An increase of over $30,000 was given to build up the inner apparatus of the Police De- partment. The half-witted politi- clans appropriated $2,500 for the Home Bureau, which will teach chil- dren how to cook meals with empty iceboxes at home. ‘When our committeés went to see the U.T.W.-Associated at its mem- bership meeting calling upon them to elect delegates to this United WORKER CORRESPONDENCE initiative of the National Textile| to ployed Council, the National Textile] por, { y Front Conference, Eli Keller, rene- cade Loyestoneite, who hasn't moved | ‘an inch out of his way to fight against forced labor, but stays in his Passaic store, exploiting a kid at $5 a week, making him work 12 hours a day, got up and killed the motion elect. delegates on the grounds that his organization was calling such a conference and it wasn't necessary to elect such, It was even too much for some of the rank and file Musteites, who openly admitted that the National Textile Workers’ Union and the Unemployed Council were the only organizations that carried on a struggle against foredd la~ . Mr, ler, shyster boss and exploiter, now a member of the ex- ecutive board of the U.T.W.-Associ- ated, helped the boss cuss by break- ing up the united front/of the work- ers. The motion to send delegates was lost by a close vote, The conference ended, agreeing to call a broader conference and to prepare for a city-wide strike against forced labor. Delegates volunteered to inform the Board of Public Works that they are calling upon the work- ers in the name of the conference to demonstrate on March 4 against forced labor.

Department of Labor has ruled that he must be deported be- cause he belongs to an organization “favoring overthrow of the govern- ment by violence.” The meaning of thissattack on the miner's leader, was expressed by Al- lan G. Harper, secretary of the de- fense committee, as follows: “If it is allowed to succeed, it will be prac- tically impossible for an alien miner, even though he is not a Communist, to join the National Miners Union which has largely replaced the United Mine Workers in some sections of Pennsylvania, Borich’s deportation would put a formidable weapon in in favor of the state-wide conference tobe held March 5 at Newark, NJ. the hands of the employers.” Donations for Friday to $14.65, and Chicago, with $11.50, were Leta J Alder, list P an ’ on ey the only other districts that went | Anonymous E Hines, list ernment is reported sending a 24- Monday inclusive in the Daily | shove gio, ~ - aris hour ultimatum to China demand- Worker’s drive for $35,000 4 eter failure to appear in Mon- | Puchalsk Total to date 854, ied coi Vilaoe sig + all Chinese | ;. if z . lay’s donations makes a full weck | ® Kaplan DISTRICT 14 roops from Jehol.

RIVER TRIAL Defense States Plan to Expose Frame-Up SOUTH RIVER, N. J., Feb. 21.— | Tom Scott, organizer of the Interna- tional Labor Defense, went on trial on a charge of “subordination of per- jury” before Judge Lyons’ court yes- terday. Eight other workers were scheduled to be tried at the same time, but their cases were postponed for two weeks All of the cases grew out of the st | of some 1700 needle workers in South River last summer, when hired thugs of the mill companies attacked the strikers, killing a 9 year old boy. Twenty-seven workers were ar- rested and framed at that time, and Scott was later framed because of his activities in organizing the de- fense of the workers in the impend- ing trials. Hacker Testifies, Carl Hacker, National Organizer of the I. L. D., was the first witness for the defense. Judge Lyons threat- ened him with contempt of court when Hacker declared that the pros- ecution “works hand in hand with the mill owners in arresting workers long jail terms.” He further testified that Tom Scott I. L. D. in preparing the cases and to mobilize mass support for the re- lease of all the South River strike victims. Use Stool Pigeons, The prosecution is using stool pi- on the specific charge that he in- |timony. The defense attorneys, in | their opening remarks to the jury jdeclared “It is the intention of the | Defense to prove that it was not Tom | Scott, the defendant, that is guilty | of subordination of perjury, but the | prosecution that is guilty of that | charge, because they have at their | disposal every means of terrorizing the defendants in order to get out false statements.” Call for Protests. The local organization of the In- ternational Labor Defense, urges all working class and sympathetic or- ganizations to support the defense of the South River workers by forward- ing funds, and protest resolutions to the headquarters at 385 Springfield Avenue, Newark, N.
