J.—The “liberal” city of Princeton practices a most ious relief discrimination and ter- Tor on the basis of political belief. A year ago a policeman was sent by Miss Black, former secretary of the Relief Bureau, to the home of ‘Thomas McNally, Communist can- didate for Mayor in the coming elec- tions. The cop terrorized his wife, who was four months pregnant, to such an extent that she had a mis- carriage the next morning. The family’s relief groceries were cut off five times; they were forced to move 12 times in 18 months, and were put back on relief only after the workers protested against this miserable hounding of a militant worker. 4 month ago the Social Service Bureau refused to give the McNallys any further relief unless they left town. McNally was forced to let his wife and child be taken to Trenton, where a month of rotten treatment compelled her to return home. Miss Tuthill, new secretary of the Bureau, greeted her return by giving Mrs. Mefaliy a painfyl blow in the stom- ach with her fist: But Miss Tuthill ‘was safe: there were no witnesses ex- er the six-year-old child.

He refused and was cut off. A few days later the Bruce Street Block Committee not only forced the Salvation Army to give relief with- out question to this worker, .but also 1 as | all sections of the country, | NEW YORK.—A message urging every union, local, shop group and | | executive committee, affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League to elect | delegates, and to popularize the Un! their industries, was sent out yesterday by Jack Stachel, assistant secretary e 3 of the T.

At the same time he will seek to negotiate a revision of the naval treaty, to give Japan parity with America and Great Britain.

The highest officials must each speak 15 times, others 25 times each. The campaign will begin October 1.

S. Congress Against War is about to open, the revolutionary Cuban work- ers give an example of concrete strug- gle against the war of Wall Street imperialism on the Cuban masses, ‘The text of the leaflet follows: “Sailors and marines: Workers and farmers in uniform. “Brothers, comrades: “The Government of Roosevelt told you that you are sent here to guard the lives and property of American citizens. It told us (and perhaps | also you) that the warships come only to wait and watchh, that men will be disembarked only in case of emerg- ency. These are lies! No one plans to harm American lives, not one USA citizen has even been hurt in all the struggles of the past months. “You have been brought here in all haste to threaten and then to land and fight against the Cuban people, the workers, peasants, students, soldiers and marines. You have been brought here to drive the Cuban toil- ing masses into still worse conditions of hunger and misery.
