That paper then said: “Congress has become very restive, particularly the House of Re- presentatives, 2s the result of the avalanche of protests that has des- cended upon its members. “The political nervousness of Congress members is noticeable in their responses to criticism from back home. That they are apprehensive of the future under the demands of the President for incressed dicta- torial powers is seen in their refusal to speed through the farm relief Dill, while delaying also the bank legislation needed to augment the emergency bank act.” From farm sections came floods of telegrams protest- ing the “farm relief bill” as a measure that would ald the mortgage holders, create a host of job-holders end saddle a sales tax upon the country. The war veterans roared their protests against the “economy” measure that hit at their pensions and deprived them of rehabilitation aid. Small de- positors began to see through the banking act and realize that the govcsnment was using its power to help the bankers get away with billions of dollars of their d> posits. i Meanwhile the government and its spokesmen conti- nued to talk about the measures going through on a “wave of popular enthusiasm.” ‘ How enthusiasticly the measures of the administration are being accepted is now seen in the reception accorded the “unemployment relief” bill that came from the President and was introduced into the House by Speaker Rainey and into the Senate by Rooseyelt’s majorit; leader, Robinson and the “liberal” Tammany senator, Waguer, of New York. The newspaper headlines suddenly changed and declared that a “revolt” had started in the House ranks. battles!

When Capitalist States- men Lie the Hardest HE old German Chancellor Bismarck once blurted out the truth. He said, “Statesmen never lie so much as on the eve of war.” He certainly knew what he was talking about when he made that statement. But at no time in the history of capitalism did the Statesmen lie 3o much, as at the present time when the whole atmosphere. smells of powder. MacDonald is rushing to shake hands with Mussolini. The capitalist press announces that they are engaged in peace convcrsations. The various papers have big head- lines suc’) »s “ ‘peace to last.a generation’ Mussolini’s aim.” Of all people, this rabid sabre rattler is presented here as on angel of peace! Hungary, an ally of Italy, is sieadily being supplied with munitions by its big Italian brother. The transporta- tion of carloads of munitions to Hungary through Austria was recently exposed in the capitalist press. Now we find the Hungarian Prime Minister, Julius Goemboes, in com- menting on MacDonald’s disarmament plan, declaring him- self as a staunch fighter for peace. He is reported as ex- claiming: “War?—to whom would it occur! Scarcely a decade and a half after the world war, to resort again to this political weapon. Such a person must either be ignorant of what war meeons or does not recognize the conse- quences of war, else he is so unscrupulous that he de- serves to be struck dead.” cide ‘occured and. another- attempted which are typical of the scores in recent months as @ result of despair brough about by continued unem- ployment, bringing in its wake hunger and disease. Adolps Henning, 57, an unemployed waiter, was found dead yesterday in the gas-filled kitchen of his flat. Po- lice officially listed the death as suicide and ascribed it to “despond- ency.” At the same time, Frederick Von Zinke, 82 years old, an unemployed carpenter tried to kill himself by inhaling gas.in his furnished room at 161 West 94th Street, New York. He is now in the Harlem hospital in a serious condition.

The walk out came as a direct result of the firing of several workers who were active in building the Dye Workers Industrial Union inside the shop. The strikers demand an in- crease in wages, the establishment of the 44-hour week and the abolition of the sweat shop conditions existing here. The strike has the militant leader- ship of the Dye House Workers In- dustrial Union. resistance to the administration which has been able to jam through all its proposals up to now. Chairman William P. Connery (Massachusetts democrat) of the House Labor Committee was forced to come out against it because of the uproar it caused among trade union officials in Boston, Springfield and other Massachusetts cities. These of- ficials, in turn were acting because the members of the American Fede- ration of Labor unions and the Cen- tral Labor Bodies demand repudia- tion of it. Propose Uniformed Conscripts Pregisions of the bill decree that the labor recruits be placed in camps, forced to wear regulation uniforms (like convicts) and that the recruit- ment be carried on principally by the war department; wages $1 a day. 16.6 suicides per 100,000 persons; 1929 —18.2 per 100,000; 1930—18.6 per 100,- 000; 1931—19.3 per 100,000; 1932—20.2 per 100,000. Figures for the first three months of 1933 are not yet available. During the year 1931, it was estimated that in the United States every 26 minutes—day and night—one person commits suicide, In the face of the growing misery of the workers and farmers not only in the United States but throughout the capitalist world, Pope Pius XI has declared that there is now “every reason for faith that conditions in the U. 8. will improve.” At the same time this propagand- ist for world capitalism made the vicious announcement that the So- viet Union—where alone conditions have improved for workers and farm~- ers—is “a menace to the world.” BIRMINGHAM, Ale., March 22.— The two year demand of the Inter- national Labor Defense, that the de- fense attorneys be permitted to in- terview the eight innocent Scotts- boro Negro boys without the presence UNION LEADER INJURED BY BOMB AFTER HOLLANDER BOSS THREATS SCOTTSBORO BOYS MOVED _ FROM KILBY DEATH CELLS Now in Birmingham Jail Where Lawyers Will See Them Alone; Lynch Fever Spurs Defense Drive Against Trial in Decatur of guards to terrorize the prisoners, was won yesterday, when it was an- nounced they had been moved from the death cells of Kilby Prison in Montgomery, to the County jail here. Kilby prison rules prevent prison~ ers in death cells from being inter- viewed by counsel without the pres- ence of guards.

The ruling class hopes on the one hand through nation- alist jingo propaganda to stir up a war spirit in the coun- try and at the same time through pacifist deception to lull the watchfulness of the masses. Both chauvinism and pacifism, the twin instrument of the ruling class in prep- aration for war, must be exposed and fought. Summit, N. J. in a critical condi- tion, The bombing occured when Langer started his car in the garage near his home this morning at about 7 am, An empty bottle found near the car is believed to be part of the bomb mechanism which was attached to the car, Commenting upon this atrocious attack upon Langer’s life, Irving Pot- ash, secretary of the Needle Trades |Workers Industrial Union, pointed out that this attack upon Langer followed after a member of threats had been made against union organizers and other leaders of the union for their strike activities against these firms. “The union made these threats public immediately after the murder of Na- tale Bolero on February 26th,” he He is now in Overlook Hospital in ¢~ stated. “The murderer of Bolero is still at large and no attempt has been made by the police to apprehend his murderer or to give protection to the strikers or union leaders. Instead of that, the courts have issued an in- junction against the strikers of J. Hollander. “Mr. Michael Hollander, head of the firm of A. Hollander and Sons, since his return from Europe has been chiefly instrumental in efforts firm, which resulted in the murder of two strikers, Rubin and Novack dur- ing a strike at the same plant in 1915.” To Identify Assailants Acting on advice received by the union, Jacques Buitenkant, attorney for the union, pressed demands at Po- lee Headquarters in Chatham, N.
