The main instigator of this move against America is America’s greatest imperialist rival—the British Empire. It is really a move to clear the air in Europe and prepare the imperialist camp for an attack on the Soviet Union. When the pact was first suggested, Mussolini emphasized, Why has this Pact, which a week ago was almost defunct, been taken down from the shelf, brushed up, and again presented to the world? This act of the European powers follows, and is an answer to, the in- ternational message, in which Roosevelt attempted to take to himself the leadership in the capitalist world in the forthcoming struggles among the capitalist countries at the London Economic Conference, and on the question of disarmament at the Geneva Conference. It is a bid for lead- But already conflicts appears in the camp of this “Four Power Pact.” Hitler's latest “peace speech” calls for German equality in arm- aments, that is, for German re-armament. Prussian Minister Rust calls for a “greater Germany” embracing all members of the German race. ‘This is a direct incitement to Poland, Austria and the Czechoslovaks.

A* mounted police—number 17610—took the lead in the massacre, joined by scores of others. In the midst of the workers were stool- pigeons in plain clothes who pulled blackjacks. Blood began to flow on all sides, women screamed, some were knocked unconscious, Like animals aroused by the smell of blood the cops only be- came more savage. From all sides, came boos and shouts of “shame” and “where is free speech“ “American Fascists.” A man dropped from a blow on his head. When four other workers came to his aid they were set on by cops led by the same scoundrel on horseback driving them off. A woman unable to bear the sight rushed to aid the unconscious worker. She was grabbed, her arm wrenched, a fist poked in her face, and then arrested. Beat Women The second worker felled was a woman, and again the workers coming to her aid were pounded with black- jacks. Two girls of 18, were cornered by three beefy cops and a burly de- tective punched, kicked and then ar- rested them. Workers were picked | indiscriminately out of the crowd. | “Grab anybody” was the cry of the police. Workers after being pounded until their eyes were closed and heads cracked open were handed over to the cop on horseback who holding them by the collar, dragged them a full | block down 58th Street. One worker, his face turning blue gasped, “You're choking me.” The mounted cop laughed and spurred his horse. The worker's feet dragged. This was repeated a doen times. No Let up by Police As the workers retreated up 56th Street they were followed and hound- ed, arrests ,and clubbing continuing all the time. At 58th Street and 4th Avenue they were met by new squads. “Pile in boys, you're fresh” the mounted cop shouted gleefiilly to his colleagues.

J., May 25.—After a two hour strike led by the Na- tional Textile Workers Union, the workers of the Columbia shop, one of the largést shons in the city, gain- ed their demand for a full di rest }on Saturday with no cut in pay.

This is one of a series of shop struggles which are being led by the union, Schweitzer, the organizer of the Associated-U.T.W. appeared at the | shop a few days prior to the strike but the workers refused to follow his leadership.

Behind this. shouting of “improve- ment” follows news that governors and. mayors ask an increase in funds | for relief from the federal govern- ment. Not because of the sudden interest by these officials, but as a result of mass demonstrations in their cities. The hunger marches, demonstrations, militant struggles before relief bureaus, has compelled them to recognize that at least the elementary needs for relief must be given*to the jobless. It is this which has compelled the state and local cfficial to run to Washington to ask for money for the unemployed. aig Saree 50 Mayors Avply WASHINGTON, May 26.—Mayors from fifty large cities have asked the president and the Treasury de- partment for direct financial aid. They want these funds primarily for relief in their respective cities. They report that their proposals were not considered by the president and they plan to present it directly to con- gress.
