A man named Petrowski open an ice bar in the Koesliner Strasse in Wed- ding. On a visit te his shop, Anna, wife of the worker Kurt Zimmerman, an active member of the Communist Party street unit, becomes suspicious of him. She tells Paml Werner, another member of the unit, who lives in the same house as Petrowski. Paul is sure that Petrowski is a spy. * 2 s HE stood still for a moment and forced himself to think. There was no point in going into the shop. You wouldn't find out anything that way. By the yard there was only the Javatory window, which was too small for anyone to climb through.

There ft of the shop no aul— that is nuttered to himself, would not be much “No, fittings. He stood in the passage bent forward in agony when the door opened and Anna entered. In the Red Nightingale Kurt Zim- mermann replied at once to his question. “He is over there at home.” come with me, Kurt!” He had forgotten all about his soda water now that he knew that every- thing was in good hands, he became calmer and the pains left him at once.

Letter Describes How Disabled Soldiers We re Chated Out of Compensation Baltimore, Md. Dear Comrades: In the year 1917 I was on the| keach here in Baltimore, and every place I went I was asked why I did not join the army. I was following the sea for a living, sailing mostly as @ cook on fore and aft schooners coastwise and the Gulf of Mexico. | On eyery corner in the city there | were signs telling the workers a lot of bull about what the German troops were doing to the Belgians, such as spearing babies on the ends of their bayonets and raping women. and a lot of other boloney that came out in the Hearst papers. There were plenty of jobs on the} ships, and having some money, I did not see why I wanted to go out of the states to another country and carry a gun or do any other war work. I was over the draft age and | had nothing to worry about. But I| was arrested one day for nothing more than standing ® corner, I vas held for investigation, kept in jail 48 hours and told if I joined the army, I could go, and if I did not join up, I would have to stay in jail. Well, at the time I had great fear of the jails and volunteered to go across, The medical examiner told me that I would have to wait for the next draft as I was past 34 years old, but to keep in touch with them. Forced Into Army Being dumb, I visited the recruit- ing office two or three times @ week. | On the 24th of August, 1917, I met | what I thought was a victim of the cops’ terror, He and I had a drink or two; he told me he was in the | war in France and he was with the Canadian government recruiting in |the U. S. A. Well, with a few shots of rot gut | | whiskey and his line ef bull, I got a! had their health broken in the Ca- nadian forces and damn few of them are drawing any compensation today. Many of the American workers in} the Canadian Army served with the Canadian Engineers, Forestry Bat~ talions, Army Service Corps, Medical Corps. All these outfits are non-com- batants and when on the line of fire, they had no weapons to defend them- | selves, Many of them today are suf fering with stomach trouble on ac- count of rotten food served out by the bosses in England, When a veter- an of the Canadian forces writes to Ottawa for a pension on account of his hardships in the army or tries te get medical aid, the bosses there write a letter so nice and sweet: “You did not get your disability in | the army.” ’ On fo Washington!

American vets that did the moppitig fip work in France, It was only last yéar that the American vets went to Washington to try to collect their bonus from Hoover, and all that parasite gave them was a dose of gas and machine gun bullets. Many of the veterans said when they were driven from the U. S. capital that they would change the administration. They went home and voted for the riominee on the Democratic ticket (Roosevelt), just another parasite that will put the children of the world war veterans in barbed wire concentration camps and teach them to be soldiers to kill workers in some other country the same way that ex-Democratic Presi- Gent Woodrow Wilson did {n 1917.

Listen carefully what they talk about. I'm going to look for Hermann.” His face was ash-grey with pain. “Paul, let me run,” begged Anna who still did not understand what was the matter with him, though she saw thet in this condition it was impossible for him to cross the street.

All persons interested in the fight for Negro rights and against the Scottsboro lynch verdicts are urged to report 2t the Harlem Liberator office, 2149 Seventh Ave., this evening, to help in putting the paper om scale throughout the City of New York, * The recent announcement that the LIBERATOR will appear within a week as a weekly newspaper will be greeted by thousands of Negro work- ers. The depression has made eon- ditions of life and the problems fac~ ing the Negro people of Harlem ex- ceptionally difficult. A recent survey of unemployment, reported in the N. Y. Herald Tribune, showed that 64 per cent of the Negro working class population of Harlem are without jobs, Unemployment aid has become a burning question among Negro work- ers, Yet they hardly receiye any re- Hef. The relief agencies practice the | vilest discrimination against them.} Young single Negro men and women | receive no aid whatsoever. High rents are driving two or more Negro families into occupying one flat. At the same time evictions are increasing with leaps and bounds. Be- cause of such poor housing, lack of food and proper clothing, the death rate among the Negro workers of Harlem is extremely high. Infant mortality exceeds that of other races of workers as much as three to one. Against such wide-spread misery, the united struggle of Negro and white workers must be sharpened. A popular militant organ like the Harlem Liberator will be the great wedge in weakening the exploitation of the Negro masses. Located and printed in Harlem, the HARLEM LIBERATOR will not only guide and ald the struggles of the Negro masses, but it will also be an instrument for exposing the weak-kneed, vacillating and treacherous policy of the Negro reformists. The demonstration of 500 Negro and white workers before the East 125th St. Home Relief Bureau a few days ago, as well as the growing mass struggle against the infamous Scotts- boro frame-up are putting these re- formists into a hard corner. The re- formist publications like the NEW YORK NEWS and the NEW YORK AGE are attempting to head off these struggles, decidedly revolutionary in content, and directed against the boss | class in order to lead them into chan- nels totally harmless to the oppress- ors and enslavers of the Negro masses. The HARLEM LIBERATOR will fur- ther strengthen and help to broaden these struggles, not only for the im~ mediate demands of, the, masses unemployment ° felief,< etc, bub also against the whole national oppression of the Negro people—for equal rights * * for Negroes, and self-determination for the Black Belt. The appearance of the HARLEM LIBERATOR marks a big achieye~ ment in the revolutionary struggle of Negro toilers. The HARLEM LIBE- RATOR must avoid the weaknesses of the old papers like the NEGRO CHAMPION and the LIBERATOR. Tt must avoid the stereotyped and abstract attack. It must be concrete and vital, It will be a popular, at: tractive, militant organ of the strug gle of the Negro people. It will not restrict itself to Harlem only. Whil dealing mainly with Harlem condi- tions, the paper will also give atten- tion to the probiems of the Negro | Masses in other sections of the coun- try, and to the problems of the Negro toilers in the Black Belt in particu- lar. It will help forge the unity of Negro and white workers in their common struggle against the mon- ster vf capitalism, With the Scottsboro verdict, the Negro and white masses have hurled the whole murderous system of the South at the feet of the ruling class, demanding it end. The Scottsboro case makes the immediate issuance of the Harlem Liberator of vital importance, the paper must vibrate with the demand of the Negro peo- ple and the white workers for an end to lynching “legal” or illegal. Workers, hail this advance in our work among the Negro masses. Rally behind the HARLEM LIBERATOR. Get subsriptions. Place it on the news-stands. Rally readers round it in shops, factories, clubs, ete, The HARLEM LIBERATOR is our new weapon in the united struggle of Ne- gro and white workers against cap- italist misery and poverty.
