Anna, wife of the worker, Kurt Zimmerman, an active member of the Communist Party, discovered that the owner of an ice-cream store on their street is a police spy. Meanwhile, preparations ate being made at the police-station to | crush the coming demonstration. The workers’ demonstration is at!

The Wiesen- ri lay the Koslinerstrasse ke of the letter T, and made a& blind alley. Moreover the houses were no longer @ sufficient means of protection, since the police storm them and to sossib! had begun to follow the workers into the tene-/ ments. On the one side of the alley reach the Wedding| : Reinickend sse by way of backyards, and these streets were ily kept in check by the police. On} other side the backyards were off by the Panke. And even if| fugitives waded through the water would only reach Panke —or| iesen Strasse. one could at be: It was easy to see that the sur- rounding of the whole block of houses | was no difficult task for the police, | and sooner or later it would surely | come to that. What then? CHILDREN HURT | In jnumerous |rooms in the alley traces of bullets were to be seen on walls and furniture. Several children | had already been hurt by flying pieces | of mortar. Immediately above the/ bed in which a twelve-year-old child was lying, four bullets had crashed} through the wall and covered’ the| child with fallen plaster. It was sheer luck that more people had not been wounded or Killed. To remove the children now from| the alley would mean carrying them) through the firing zone. On the s *s crying, desperate mothers were standing cursing “the blue devils” below. “Are you men?” the workers. “Youre white -livered, cowardly who let the women and chil- be shot!

Because these swine hold cannon in their nds, you father dung your trousers take the things away from them ‘communists’ !” “You don’t understand——” the men could only reply. “We ocen't simply start a revolution on our own) they shouted t0/ ‘No—but you oan make grand) ches all right.” | WHAT SHALL WE DO? | Then the men went out into the| again and thought to them- s : Right they are, those women— but cowards? No, we aren't cowards. The Red Alley isn’t cowardly, not that—but—what shall we do? What on earth shall we do? Damned cos- sacks! They were asking it on the stairs, in the yards, in the street. in the pubs—in the “Red Nightingale.” The narrow passage of the “Red Nightingale” was thronged with ex- cited faces. The crowd was drawn towards the light of the electric lamp over the corner table. Thomas was carrying his bandaged hand in a | they | night.

Then the whole corner is blocked up and ean't enter from there or there!” Attentive eyes followed the broad finger-tip on its travels across the table. Kurt looked up. His face was no longer so calm as before. He knew that his plan implied a decisive sharpening of the struggle, but there was no other way out if they wanted to protect the populace from fur- ther police terror terror which, as experience had taught them, would grow fiercer and fiercer towards Before the last attack some people had already started to place wooden poles across the street. Kurt knew the people of the alley too well—they would not look on calmly for very much longer while one after the other was shot down, without re- sistance. He had seen and heard enough just now on the stairs and | in the yards. Thomas stood up and banged the fist of his sound arm on the table. “Settled, Kurt—get on, boys, to work —we haven't a sécond to lose!” The workers ptished their way out | of the pub, taking with them every- one who was standing about. ‘“Quick- | ly—get out all of you! There's work | to do outside!” Everyone shouted and ran about excitedly, The atmosphere of help- lessness and despair gave way at once to a strong, determined feeling of power.

Many copies of the “Hun- ger Fightcr” and “The Daily Worker” were sold to the onlookers. The parade was led by members of the Workers Ex-Srvicemen’s League in full uniform, They were followed by-a giant sign which read, “Workers of All Lands Unite.” Shortly after the’ parade had started we were joined by the East Pittsburgh Bugle and Drum Band. Not Fooled by Local Politicians Local politicians, including James Beech, Burgess of East Pittsburgh, attempted by their participation in the parade to hoodwink the workers into believing that Beech is with the workers. But the workers refuse to be fooled.
