After prolonged secret negotiations | with the bourgeois parties, the So: cialist Stauning cabinet of Denmark | has at last found a way out of the erisi: It has submitted a bill to parliament which is one of the most infamous anti-worker measures ever achieved by the Sccial-Democrats. The bill proposes that all wage agreements be extended one year, and that during th's period all strikes are to be prohibited. The cabinet gives as a reason for | this measure that a wage conflict in | the present situation “would serious- or- ganizations to alleviate the present crisis.” Socialist leaders as governmental strike-breakers! What Briand did in the big railway strike in France, what Ebe:t and Scheidemann did in the 1918 munitions strike in Berlin, and what Ramsay MacDonald did in the British general strike is now | repeated by the Danish Socialists. Does any American worker need more proof that the socialist leaders are agents of | the capitalist class? WHY THE NAZIS DISRUPTED THE REICHSTAG CONTROL COMMITTEE. Two or three days ago the papers | reported that Nazi deputies ha broken up the session of the Reichs- tag Control Committee, the only legislative body empowered to in- vestigate the cabinet’s actions, even when the Reichstag is dissolved. But they didn’t print the reason for this outbreak of Nazi violence in the legislative halls. The real reason was that the session had been called at the demand of the Communist of huge corruption in the financial aid given the big agrarian estates in Eastern Germany by the Reich gov- ernment. Unbelieveable details of vast sums poured into the laps of the Junkers, while unemployment relief was be- ing curtailed, had been unearthed by the Communists—and the Nazis did their utmost to prevent these revela- tions from exposure in the Reichstag Committee. That is why the Nazis wouldn't let the committee meet. Just another example of how the American capitalist press prints the ‘truth” about German, events! SOCIALIST GOVERNOR FIGHTS “ITLER—BY SUPPRESSING THE COMMUNIST PRESS. The “Arbeiterzeitung”, Communist daily in Frankfurt on Main, has beer suppressed by Ehrler, socialist gover- nor of the province, for calling upon the workers to strike against the Hit- ler regime. That is how the socialists are car- rying out their pledges of “a ruth- less opposition to the Hitler govern- ment”! Only when the German workers lose faith finally in the so- cialist leaders who are sabotaging and betraying the class struggle in Ger- many will the German proletariat attain power. a ene 3 COMMUNISTS WIN IN NAZI FACTORY. Four days after Hitler’s accession elections were held in the Bremen-Delmenhorst jute mill, which belongs to the Nazi millionaire Lahnsen. Up to now the reformists had a majority in the factory coun- cil. In the present election, the unity slate won a smashing victory, elect- ing 6 shop delegates to 5 for the re- formists, while the Christian and scab unions failed to elect a single candidate. ‘The unity slate has captured an absolute majority in both the fac- tory council and the workers’ coun- cil. The Nazis were unable even to set up a slate of their own in the factory. eRe Ee RED OPPOSITION WIN BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL, In the recent elections in the Ol- denburg Building Trades Council, the opposition slate elected the en- tire council executive, the president, vice-president, secretary and treas- urer.

COPS Leon Carlock Shot Down After Vile | Frame-up USE OLD “ESCAPE” Prostitutea Attacked; Didn’t Know by Whom, MEMPHIS, , Tenn., Feb. 27. +—Levon Carlock, 19-year-old Negro youth, was wantonly shot to death by six Memphis police officers here Saturday morning. The excuse for this brutal murder was an unfounded charge of vape” on Ruby Morris, practising rostitute, who did not even go through the formality of identifying C plock as her “assailant,” an in- vestigation by the International La- bor Defense reveals. The Negfro and white workers of Memphis are aroused to deep indig- LIE | nation over this murder, which cli- maxes an unbridled reign of terror against the Negro workers of Mem- phis, which the police department, police commissioner, has been carry- ing on. The LL.D. investigation shows that uby Morris claimed she was “at- tacked” early Friday morning. She admitted that it was dark, and she did not see her “assailant.” But she said Carlock’s voice was like that of her “assailant.” Witnesses have come forward and protested that Carlock was at home at the time of the sup- | | posed “attack,” and that they saw him in his home at the time. On this flimsy basis, six Memphis arrested Carlock at 3 o'clock Satur morning while he was waiting to escort his wife from killed during a collision when} the place where she works as a maid. They took him into an alley, beat | and tortured him, then shot him. They attempted to whitewash their crime with the claim that he “had tried to escape.” The LL.D. has taken steps here to| organize broad neighborhood com- mittees, and has issued leaflets call- ing for the widest organized protest, raising the demand for the removal, arrests, open trial and death penalty | for the six policemen involved, and for an end to the reign of terror against Negroes, which is aimed at crushing the resistance of the Ne- gro masses to the worsening starva- tion conditions. The demand is also being raised for payment of indem- nity to Mrs. Carlock. Protests can be wired to Police Commissioner Cliff Davis of Memphis and to Goy. Hill McAlister at Nashville, Tenn.

The Negro workers stated that there are very few Negroes hired at all, and if they were hired they were never given key positions, or the same wages that the white workers received. The Board of Supervisors promised the committee that they would speak to the officials in charge at the San Gabriel Dam, Answer New Anti - Soviet Propaganda In the present situation of extreme- ly sharpening danger of imperialist war, strenuous efforts are being made to find any sort of material to fur- nish a basis for propaganda against the Union of Socialist Soviet Repub- lics.

They were given a place to sleep on the floor for the night and breakfast the next morn- ing. The following morning these seamen made the demands for food and beds with an organized com- mittee. This again was granted, but only one meal one day and two meals next day. Through constant pressure and organized committees the demands for two meals were granted. In the meantime the steady flow of unemployed seamen filled all the vacant beds, and 112 men were forced to sleep on the stone floor of the reading room. Every day a number of these men were missing, the victims of starva- tion and pneumonia, an investiga- tion showed us that the men were in the hospital from these conditions. A committee of men sleeping on the floor was organized and demand- ed the men be allowed to sleep on the chairs. This was granted to 47 men, Two nights later another commit- tee made the demand that the Audi- torium be opened and the men be allowed to sleep in there. This was granted with the result that no men were sleeping on the floor. Three days later a demand was made that the Y.M.C.A, borrow cots and blan- kets from the Army Base and that these be installed in the church and auditorium. This also was granted and the committee of unemployed seamen recognized. We now have a very good force of organized men in this place. Through the results of these victories the sea- men realize that the W.U.C. is the only organization which is fighting for the seamen, Do not think, fellow workers, that this victory was accomplished with- out a struggle. From the time we first got our foot in this mission three months has elapsed. We hay had many demonstrations and leader after leader, but we still car- ry on the fight against these con- ditions and the shipowners.

He has found a novel way of cutting our wages. year we had two w: did not seem to ss has now decided on an under! During way of putting through another wage | cut. We were informed that here- after we would get paid on the 1 and 30th of each month instead of each week, and in this way he will cheat us out of two days’ pay. The young workers in ow shop are slaving even more than the adult workers. They are compelled to work two hours overtime every night with- out pay. the regular hours are sup- posed to be from 8:30 tN] 5:30, but in reality they work till 7:30. If anyone has the courage to refuse to work for nothing, she losses her job. The wages of these girls for these lon¢ hours are not more than $10 a week. The girls are very much dissatis- fied. They understand what mean advantage the boss is taking of them but they don’t as yet see their way clear how they can improve their conditions. The Neckwear Union doesn’t seem to be interested in shops of our kind. I do hope that the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union will take an interest in our shop and help us organize and fight for better conditions ” lost | Forced Sale in Roseburg, Ore. .
