Meet at Public Square, The workers first assembled at the Public Square and held a one hour meeting after which 2,500 marched in line to the City Hall. The regular Council meeting however was called off in the afternoon after letters no- itfying the Council to be ready to receive the Unemployed Committee were sent. The pretext for the Coun- cil adjournment was the death of Councilman John McGreal, Tremendous militancy was shown by the workers which was heightened by the imminent food shortave die to the bank situation. Police mobiliza- tion was double that of the March 4 demonstration while the masses of workers were shouting: “Bring the Mayor here, let’s get the Councilmen, let's stay here till they come!” Four thousand raised fists, including a e section cut off by the police en- ed the resolution condemning the evasion of the unemployed demands by the City Council. The masses enthusiastically determined to go to each Councilman separately and force them to take action on the de- mands at the next Council meeting next Monday. The workers kept shouting: “We want cash not scrip, we demand cash relief!” Mention of Roosevelt's first act in office, the Bank Act aroused a wave of anger throughout the mas- ses. In the face of police mobiliza- tion, the entire mass of workers re- fused to move until the leaders were safely gotten off the City Hall steps. dor Chase Hoodlums Burning Cross During Scottsboro Meeting JAMAOA, N. Y, — Leaving the Macedonian Baptist Church where a meeting for the freedom of the nine Scottsboro boys was being held, a group of men, apparently members of the Ku Klux Klan, crossed the street and burned a fiery cross in an empty lot. A few of the workers present went out and chased the men away. The workers returned to complete the very successful meeting. The meeting attended by about 400 Negro and white workers was the first Scottsboro meeting in that sec- tion 173th St. and 108th Ave. Holmes, section organizer, and Charles Archer, of the Scottsboro Defense Committee, were the speakers. An appeal was made for members in the Scottsboro Committee, and resulted in 25 addi- tional workers entering the campaign. A resolution was adopted and sent to the Governor of Alabama de- manding the freedom of the nine Scottsboro boys. 600 IN MINN. FOR MOONEY CONGRESS Thunder ‘Approval in Answer to Spector Call MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 8.— Frank Spector, assistant national secretary of the International Labor Defense, addressed an audience of six hundred that packed the Mayor's re- ception hall here on March 4th, The meeting was first organized by the Free Tom Mooney Congress of the Minneapolis district. An enthusiastic audience heard his exposition of the Mooney frame-up and with thunderous “ayes” that could be heard through the entire city hall and to the jail at the top of the building and the police head- quarters below, voted to endorse the call for the Free Tom Mooney Con- gress that will be held in Chicago on April 30 to May 2nd. WORKING GIRLS EVICTED FROM ‘ Supported Albany Con- ference; Picket Today NEW YORK —Informed by the Emergency Work Bureau that she was a union members, the officials of the Y. W. H. A., 30 West 110th Street, declared that Yetta Kaufman was “unfit” to live there and evicted her and two other girls, who protested against the eviction during the rain last Tuesday night. An attempt was made to evict Miss Kaufman early this week, but a committee of girls from the “Y,” the Lower Harlem Un- employed Committee and the Office Workers Union prevented such ac- tion. The head official, Mrs. Schwartz, has @ fashionable apartment in the building, maids for her personal use, and a cer and chauffer. The Jewish “Day” and the late Mrs. Schiff do- nated among many other contribu- tions, $10,000 each to the “Y” fund. Where this money goes can be seen from Mrs. Schwartz’ lavish living. Besides, the rent for cell like rooms with one window is from $6 to $10 a week, and as many of the girls are unemployed or part time relief work- ers, as many as three live in single room, A week ago the residents elected one girl to represent them at the Al- bany Conference for Labor Legisla- tion. When the officials heard of this they became angry. They did not dare to say that they were against the Conference, but decided to throw out all girls who spoke of the con- ference and the Workers Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill, In answer to the conduct of thé officials, a picket line will be main- tained in front of the building on 110th Street, at 8 o'clock this morn- ing. Workers picketed all morning yesterday despite police. Women workers and men protest the eviction and forestall all further attempts at victimizing women workers. Support the struggle of the homeless and un- employed girls, ¢ | SAN FRANCISCO, March 7.—Tom Mooney issued a state- | ment endorsing the united} front conference held here the | later part of February, and) thereby repudiating certain | elements who sought to split the movement for Mooney’s freedom, Some 64 organizations, including | 21 A. F. of L. locals attended this Conférence which met to plan the ‘Tom Mooney meeting for March 19, to bring pressure on Judge Ward to grant a trial on the remaining in- dictment against Mooney, when the hearing for the trial takes place on March 25th, At this conference, representatives of the Socialist and Proletarian Parties (whose combined member- ship totals 52) made impossible de- mands as the price of their partici- pation, Reject Militant Line. They demanded three guarantees | from the Conference; first, that the | militancy of the November 6th meet-| ing, when 18,000 rallied at the Civic Auditorium and staged militant dem- onstration for Mooney’s freedom— should not be repeated at the March | 19th meeting. ‘Their second demand was that the | left wing organizations be forbidden to carry their own banners. Thirdly, that no one speak, except as directed | by the Publicity Committee of five, which had two Socialist and one Pro- Jetarian Party members. By a vote of 80 agaitist 9 the oon- ference refused to accept these de- mands, Which the splitters realized at the outset could not be accepted by workers’ organizations sincerely interested in effective struggle to free Mooney. Faced with the overwhelm- ing decision of the Conference dele- Gates, those who came with the in- tention of splitting the Conference, made this issue the reason for leay- ing the meéting. The nine who left the Conference represented the Workmen's Circle, Socialist Party, Proletarian Party, Y. P. 8. L., the L. I. D., and Amalga- mated Clothing Workers. The Work- men’s Circle, however, returned to the Conference, and the Amalgama- ted is now discussing advisability of similar action. Conference Grows. All other delegates, including A. F. of L. locals supported the Con- ference decision. This suppoft was by no means effected by the action | of the Central Trades body, which, | after a bitter session, ordered all lo- cals represented at the Conference to withdraw, Instead, a meeting held on the 5th of March showed an increase of A.| F. of L. locals represented, from 21 to 32, with the total humber of dele- gates increased to 178, representing 78 organizations. The meeting at the Civic Auditor- ium on March 19, promises to be the greatest ever held here. $8.00 FOR 44 HOURS: $16.58 FOR 70 HOURS PHILADELPHIA, Pa—In Budds Plant the workers are working just like slaves. We cannot say a word because they fire us. I worked 70 hours and got $16.58 pay. My friend worked 44 hours and got $8.00 pay working from 7:30 a. m. to 9 p. m. The bosses treat us like dogs. We contribute to help the Daily Worker and do our best to organize for it. In the future we hope the workers will join with us so we can fight against the bosses. Long live the Third International. ~_—a A, Muste Ousted From Brookwood in Fight Over Betrayal Policies A. J. Muste, chairman of the fake progressive outfit Known as the Con- ference for Progressive Labor Action, has been kicked out as dean of Brook- wood Labor College in a fight which reveals the growing difficulties of the “left” social-fascists in their efforts to betray the workingclass. Muste took with him Thomes Tippett, a faculty member, five administrative officers and 19 of the 28 students. Muste is now getting a taste of his own medicine as several years ago he kicked out all Communists and other militant elements in the faculty and student body. Mine Misleaders in Ky. Try Scheme to Fleece Members of Money MIDDLESBORO, Ky., March pele The National Miners Union here is- sued a warning today to the miners of arlan and Bell Counties against the new fake strike campaign which the misleaders of the United Mine Workers of America are launching in this region and calls for the organi- zation of rank and file committees to prepare for a real strike and struggles tor immediate improvements in con- ditions. The strike is being called for May Ist. Reminding the miners that this is a repitition of the fake strike man- eouvre of 1931 which fleeced the miners of about ten thousand dollars for the union treasury and plunged the miners into the direst starvation, the union points out that the miners will again be betrayed by treacherous jeaders of the Turnblazer & Childers yrand. In 1931 Turnblazer, president Need Rank and File” be disarmed while the company thugs Action Committees for Real Fight of District 19 and Childers, district secretary, both living on a $6,000 a ed to the teeth continued to ter- , torize the miners, Turnblazer's open jiriendship with Sheriff Blair was convincing proof that this fake lead- er was an open enemy of the miners. The Union points out that since the strike thousands of men have been year salary turned the miners over blacklisted from the Harlan mines to the bosses’ gun thugs and the state, and eleven men, four of whom are military when the miners became’ serving life sentences were railroaded militant and defended their right to| to jail.

The Na- tional Miners Union calls upon the Harlan County miners to repudiate this treacherous leadership and the thugs in their murderous campaign] plen for a fake strike and follow the to crush the miners’ struggle.

A representative from the Marine Workefs Industrial Union got up and pointed out that last fall 35 men had forced Page to open Jane St. after being refused aid as individuals and that certainly 200 men backed up by the other marine workers of New York could keep it open.

We have no organization in our shop, and for this we have received ‘in the last two months, wage outs of 30-50 per cent. ‘The conditions are quite unbearable and workers are starting to talk and kick. When the last wage cut was put over, some of the workers of the wire room, an important and a key de- partment quit and walked out, but they didn’t strike but went home.This shows how unorganized we are, but how willing the workers are for ac- tion, Individuals also have quit.

CHAMADAN The Japanese Foreign Min- ister, Count Ushida, on Jan.! 21, in a programme speech in| |the Japanese Parliament in which he submitted the official stand- | point of the Japanese government on the situation in the province of} Jehol, declared: “In the light of the oircum- stances which led to the forma- | tion of the Manchurian State, it is obvious that the province of Jehol is an inseparable part of the new state."| The “problem of Jehol” hag been discussed for years in the Japanese imperialist newspapers. The notori- ous Japanese Prime Minister General | Tancaca, and General Araki, as well as other leading personalities of Jap- anese political life, devoted special attention to the province of Jehol. Not Such an Easy Task The Japanese military commanders at first thought that they could auto- matically inélude the province of Jehol in Manchukuo. But to conquer the Province of Jehol is not such an easy task that it could be done simul- taneously with the occupation of Man- churia, In addition, the Japanese military commanders had their hands iull with the problem of “pacifying” Manchuria. I the opinion of the “peace- | makers,” the suitable moment has | now arrived in order to realize the | old plan regarding the fourth pro- vince of China, Jehol. The Japanese Minister of War, General Araki, stated last year in a speech on the situation in Japan: “The province of Jehol is really a! | part of the new Manchukuo. The in- | corporation of this province in Man- churia is only a question of time.| Jehol possesses specially great im- portance for Japan. The question of Jehol is the question of the existence of our empire.” | Over 6,000,000 Population The great attention which the Jap- janese statesmen and the Japanese | |press are devoting to the province of Jehol is not due to chanee. The province of Jehol embraces! a territory of 300,000 square kilo-| | meters with a population num- bering six to seven millions. Ninety per cent of the population are Chinese and the remaining 10 per cent Mon- golians. The chief occupation of the | Population is agriculture and cattle breeding. ‘The “fabulous riches” of the pro- vince of Jehol, about which the} | Japanese press continually writes, |consist of mineral wealth. The pro- | vinee of Jehol has great deposits of | coal, oil, gold, silver, ete. Of special) value, of course, are the cattle in the province, estimated at 7 million head. Of these about 210,000 are horses, | 11,000 camels and the rest sheep, pigs and horned cattle. Coal Mines Of the huge coal deposits in the | Province Itself Yields Rich Coal, | province of Jehol, mention should be made of the coal mines of the Peip-| ping-Mukden railway (a British undertaking) near Beipjao, amounting to about 500,000,000 tons. The rest of the mining undertakings ate ex-/ | ceedingly primitive. In addition the province of Jehol is one of the most important opium-| producing areas in the Far Hast.) About 18 per cent of the total area under cultivation in the whole pro- vince, i. e. 200,000 hectares, are de- voted to the cultivation of poppies. ‘This production is of considerable im- portance for the province. It en- joys the special protection of the Gov- ernor of the province of Jehol, Gen- eral Tan Jui Lin, who is the owner of half of all the opium plantations of the province. The revenue of the province of Jehol from opium amounts, according to the Chinese press, to $20,000,000 a year. Key to North China ‘The province of Jehol owes its chief importance to its special geo- graphical position, by reason of which it constitutes a great, almost impas- sable corridor between Manchuria and North China. The Japanese official newspaper in Manchurie, recently wrote quite openly regarding the place which Jehol occupies in the | Japanese plans: “If the province of Jehol 1s of| great importance to the new State (Manchukuo) from the economic standpoint, its importance from the| military standpoint is also exceeding | | great. It must not be forgotten that | the Province, owing to its position on the main railway line from Muk- den to Peiping, will probably for a} long time be the centre of all ag- (Cable by Inprecor) BERLIN, March 8.—The fascist po- lice head, Goering, issued an order yesterday, under February's Emer- gency Decree, confiscating the Karl Liebknecht House, headquarters of the Communist Party, announcing that the House will now become the| headquarters of a new department of the political police for the suppres- sion of Bolshevism.
