Akron, 0., Comrade, , Giampietri Carmine, Gets Red Funeral AKRON, O.—A Red Funeral was given Giampietri Carmine, 34, who died at City Hospital recently, after the brutal City Clinic refused to give him a physical examination. After hunger and sickness had wasted away his sturdy body, the city hospital op- erated on him for bowel trouble. But it was to late. Carmine joined the Communist Party in 1925. During the past four | years he had taken a leading part in the Akron section until sickness com- pelled him to rest. In 1926-27 he was one of the most active in the organ- igation of the Rubber Workers Union. He was unmarried, The body of Carmine lay in state at O’Lari Hall where hundreds of workers came to honor their dead comrade.

The League has an enrolled membership of 1,000 work- rs. The Unemployed League has pre- pared a demand for an increase of 20 percent jn cash relief for the un- employed which will be presented to the Board of Welfare this week. If this demand is refused the League will hold a protest meeting at pived Central High School on Friday night, The British objected particularly to the building of 10,000-ton cruisers. Tt was pointed out at the time in London that this would be conceived as preparation for war in the Pacific and that the British would be con- cerned in such a war, The fact is the breakdown of the London Elonomic Conference, fol- lowed by the speeded-up war program is sharpening the struggle between these two powers for markets and colonial plunder to the point where both are rapidly preparing for war. ‘This latest war move, combined es- pecially with the open declarations at the League of Nations that “war hovers over Europe,” comes on the eve of the opening of the Anti-War Con- gress in New York, Sept. 29. ‘This united front’ congress will lay down plans for fighting aaginst the imperialist war which is rapidly be- in U.S.S.R.,. Members See Their Leaders Have Been Misleading Them \ on-Proletarian Dictatorship LENINGRAD, Sept. 26 (By Mail, delayed)—With a| totally changed outlook, and with the greatest enthusiasm, for the achievements of the workers in the Soviet Union, a delega- | tion of 15 members of the British Independent Labor Party | and Labor Party, embarked today for London after traveling ®throughout the Soviet Union. \ As members of. parties and trade unions whose leaders have been con- sistently fighting the Soviet Union on grounds that British capitalist democracy is preferable to the pro- letarian dictatorship, these delegates were candid in their opinion that they had been under the influence of wholly misleading theories. John Aplin, a leading member of | the delegation, in answer to a qués- tion about his opinion of the British Labor leader Citrine’s statement that Soviet Trade Uions were the same as fascist trade unions, declared: “When we in England have a trade union movement comparable with that which is in existence here, we, as workers, will be better off, and Citrine won't be General Sec- fetary... There is a dictatorship here; why deny it? But it is a dictatorship of the workers them- selves, “The unions are an expression of that dictatorship, and a very ef- figient one, too. “Citrine may talk of democracy versus dictatorship, but any British worker who can come over here and See for himzelf would. choose the proletarian dictatorship in the Soviet Union to British capitalist democracy.” Aplin is the London organizer of the I. L. P., whose leaders have been unwilling to submit to the leader- ship. of the Communist International on the grounds that they do not be- lieve in dictatorship of the working class or the necessity for the revolu- tionary seizure of state power. The visit of Alpin’s delegation is indicative of the growing sentiment of the I. L. P. rank and file and lower party functionaries for affili- ation with the Communist Interna- tional. ing prepared. With only a few days | left, all workers’ organizations who have not yet elected delegates are urged to do so immediately. Help improve the “Daily Worker.” send in your suggestions and criticism!

Michigan today, and hung on it a red flag, nine foot square, with the inscription “Demon- strate Against Fascism here on ‘Thursday, 12:30 noon.” Thousands of people passed the busy Michigan Boulevard saw this flag, 24 storiés up. The consulate personnél did not succeed in getting it down for nine hours. On september 21, the day of the demonstration, two women workers handcuffed themselves to a lamp- post in front of the consulate, with signs announcing the demonstration, denouncing Hitler, and demanding the freedom of the Reichstag fire de- fendants. Police took an hour and a half to saw them free, Chicago authorities had refused a permit for the demonstration, but 2,000 workers gathered in front the consulate, besides the crowds of pass- ersby. Several delegations went up to the German consul and presented de- mands for an end to Hitler's terror, and for the freedom of the Reich- stag defendants, which the consul was forced to accept. ‘Three hundred police, armed with machine guns, a score of mounted police and scores of detectives were gathered to prevent the demonstra- tion. By ROBERT HAMILTON IV. According to Dr. Oberfohren’s mem- jorandum, the execution of the Nazi plan for burning the Reichstag was put in the hands of Capt. Herman Wilhelm Goering, Speaker of the |Reichstag, Premier of Prussia and | head of the Prussian Police. It was Goering who picked the small band of high Nazi officials, led by Lieut. | Edmund Heines, convisted murderer, | who smuggled the incendiary material into the Reichstag during the after- noon of that fateful February 27, and (who escaped through the under- {ground tunnel to Goering’s residence {after having applied the torch to the Reichstag building. Only after the Reichstag fire did the attention of the whole world focus on this wer aviator, who was reputed to be the “strong man” of the Nazi regime. Goering, the Drug Addict Captain Goering was born in Rosenheim, Bavaria, on Jan. 12, 1893, His biographers tell us that he was a noted “ace” during the World War. Affidavits of Goering’s former aviator friends, however, state that he was a drug addict even during the war, and that his exploits as a war flyer were carried out under the influence of morphine, Goering fled to Italy in 1923, after the collapse of Hitler's beer-hall putsch in Munich, and went to Sweden in 1925, still a refugee from the German courts. His Swedish career had been shrouded in darkness until this year, when disclosures pub- lished in the London “Daily Herald” and in prominent Stockholm news- papers lifted the veil surrounding his Swedish record. Dispatches from Stockholm recent- ly reported that the Swedish govern- Cemetery where he was buried. ment had filed suit (at the demand Captain G cf High Nazi-Official Is Proven Drug Addict; Shown to Be Organizer of Fire of the German Legation) against three Swedish papers:.“Folkets Dag- blad,” “Arbetaren,” and “Ny Dag” for libelling the Premier of Prussia. These papers had charged that Herr Goering is a morphine addict and had been confined in Swedish asylums for the insane. Libel'can only be com- mitted by making charges which are untrue. Let us examine the accuracy of these charges, which have never been disproved by the Nazi leader himself. An Insane Man Rules Prussia ‘The “Brown Book’on the Reichstag Fire and Hitler Terror” prints a fac- simile of the registration card on the “admission of Capt. Hermann Wilhelm Goering to the Langbro insane asy- lum.” Goering was. committed to the Langbro asylum in 1925 after physi- cians had certified that he was men- tally deranged. He had formerly been a patient in the St. Katharina private hospital, undergoing drug ad- lent that the hospital personnel re- fused to treat him any longer, and he was transferred to the Langbro asy- lum. His attacks of insanity became so violent in Langbro that he had to be transferred to the padded cell division. , After his release from Langbro, Goering was again under drug addic- tion treatment in the Konradsburg Hospital in Stockholm (on Septem- ber 6, 1927) but had to be transferred to Langbro again because of his maniac behavior. Medical ‘Testimony Goering had been married to Karin von Fock, daughter of a Swedish noble family, who had previously divorced a Swede, Captain Kantzow. After her marriage to Goering, she sued Kantzow for custody of her son by her first marriage, and we owe further sensational material on Goe- ring’s past to this trial. Captain Kantzow’s attorneys filed an official medical certificate with the Stock- holm Court on April 22, 1926, in which Police Physician Dr. Karl A. Lund- berg certifies that “Capt. Goering is a morphine addict and therefore un- suitable as guardian for Karin Goe- ring’s son.” Dr. Lundberg adds that “Frau. Karin Goering. suffers from epileptic fits and her home is not the proper place for her son.) AS @ result of this medical evidence Karin Goering’s suit for the custody of her child was dismissed by the court. A | facsimile photograph of the certificate of the court medical expert, Dr. Lund- berg, is also reproduced in the Brown diction treatment, but became so vio- | Book.

He forgot that documentary proof of: his insanity, 4 |ganizer of the Reichstag fire. oering’s Role in the Reichstag Fire As the “Brown Book” puts it, “It is‘no accident that this:man is play- ing a leading role in the Third Reich. He embodies all the brutality of the Prussian officers’ corps, which has been striving for power ever since 1918. He is the embodiment of the sadism which has led to thousands of murders and tens of thousands of brutal and cruel acts of maltreatment during the past few months. He is the personification of the officers’ clique which murdered Rosa Luxem- burg and Karl Liebknecht, which shed rivers of blood in Hungary, which erected White’ gallows in Finland, and which is now turning all of Hitler’s Germany into a brown hell. “Goering represents what the Nazi Policy really is, National Socialism does not represent the workers or the white-collar émployees or the middle class, but the interests of the ruling class, of the nobility. Power was handed over to the Nazis in order to have them maintain the existing eco- nomic system and protect it against the menacing forces of social revo- lution. “To protect these interests, National Socialism has picked its highest offi- cials from the ranks of the former officers’ corps, the nobility and the high government officials. Captain Goering, brutal in the extreme, lying and cowardly in the extreme, exposes the true face of the Nazis. -. ’ “This Captain ‘Goering was ‘spiel comrade Goebbels conco-ted the plan; Goering carried it out.

County March Will Make Demand For Winter Relief Will Urge Federal Unemployment Insurance Be Endorsed by Local Government LOS ANGELES, Cal the sugar-coated promis women and children will participate Sept. 26.—Wacing hunger and evictions despite ‘s of “recovery” by the N.R.A., thousands of men, in the Los Angeles County Hunger March next Monday, to demand from the lecal government an assurance that their needs will be cared for this Form “Families”, Relief Heads Tell | Needy Bachelors) NewRegistrzitionTrick | Used to Cut Aid from Miners (By a Worker Correspondent) FINLEYVILLE, Pa.— Recently all | the unemployed and part time em-| ployed in Washington County were) forced to register. The reason for the | registration was given that the local relief boards will not write the food checks, but the’ County poor board, and that this will cut down the over- head expenses and make more funds available for relief. Every worker was forced to give his life story to the relief board. Some of us Reds told the workers that this registration means a cut in relief and suggested the reorganiza~ tion of the Unemployed Council, but were not active enough to do this and stop the registration. The new system of relief went into effect last week, According to the information we could gather, 42 fa- mies in this township were cut off from relief the first week. This week 66 families were cut off. The old local relief board is stall writing the relief checks. Their answer to every one cut off is either that it was through a mistake or that they don’t know the reason. Other families received partial cuts. ‘Those receiving 5.00 a week for seven in the family got only $450. Some of the families were banded together and now two families living in a dou- ble house are given one check, The single men were hit worst of all. Up to now a single man received $1.50. Now all the single men living in one house are banded into a “fa- mily,” This banding brought the fol- lowing reports: 2 single men living tagether get $2.50; in one case 4 single men live together and they received $3.50. One of them moved since the registration about two miles away and now must walk ev@y day to his “family” to eat or take 87c a week to live on. Z It is time that we organize and fight against this cut in relief, establish the old system of relief and fight for | more relief. | Jobless Faced With Tragic Winter, Is Welfare Warning Ask City for Almost 50: Percent Relief Rise; Buro Drops More NEW YORK.—Calling for an in- crease of almost 50 per cent for the next six months of local unemployed relief, the Welfare Council warned Mayor O’Brien and the: Board of Es- timate that suffering this winter will be more intense and widespread than at any time during the four years of depression and unemployment. Relief appropriations for September have not yet been made, endangering the food supply of the 190,000 regular Home Relief cases, The request for additional funds follows the closing of the Red Cross and Emergency Relief offices, which threw 30,000 undernourished families off all relief. “It would be tragic,” says the Welfare Council warning, to be unduly optimistic about the pros- pect of the NRA in providing jobs. ‘They estimated the jobless in the city at the low figure of one million and said that there was little pros- pect of any material reduction this coming winter. The Gibson Emer- gency Relief Committee has fired 4,000 emergency workers, which in- clude 2,000 single women workers who now have nowhere to turn for food or shelter. In the meantime 55 per cent of Bronx Home Relief Bureau cases have been cut off relief. A few cases are being accepted but the greater bulk of them are being stalled off on) one pretext or another. At the Spring and flizabeth Bureau a policeman is stationed at the information desk to help in getting rid of indignant -work- ers. At the central Home Relief Bureau office small grocery store owners are clamoring for food check bills unpaid since July. One such owner, Kerkas, with two stores in Brooklyn, is owed a total cf $2,250 unpaid for almost three months. This represents gro- ceriss paid for with Home Rellef youc.iers, When approached, Carl Winter, Secretary of the Unemployed Council, stated that had the city adopted the Workers Relief Ordinance all of the present situation could have been avoided. 3 Write to the Daily Worker about every event of inter- est to workers in your fac- tory, neighborhood or city.

A drastic cut of 40 per cent in relief has been given since July 15, The marchers will demand all work to be paid at the rate of $4 for a six-hour-day, no forced labor, with a minimum of 10 days a month for a family of two and an additional 2 days for each dependent. Stopping of evictions and shutting off of gas or electricity. A repeal of the sales tax, a moratorium on taxes and as- sessments for small home-owners and recognition of committees of the unemployed by the welfare agencies | are listed among the demands, Endorse Jobless Insurance _ At the conference. where the hunger march was planned, it was decided to launch a campaign for unemploy- ment insurance. Workers point to the fact that ‘existing relief measures are totally inadequate, and have been the cause for existing conditions of starvation. They will demand from the county, while providing imme- diate aid, to endorse also federal un- employment insurance and ask Roo- sevelt for its adoption by the next session of Congress. Denial of rent checks and evictions of numerous families, forced 30 of them to build shacks on a plot of un- improved ground at 84th and Almeda, Even these shanties were taken from them when the sheriff, without no- tice, threw out their belongings and set fire to them. It was only with tHe aid of the Relief Workers Pro- tective Union that homes were found for 11 of the families. Little’ Relief—Big Graft Los Angeles county spent $13,727,371 for direct and work relief for the first seven months of this year. This is an insignificant amount considering the half million persons and théir families who are dependent on relief. From this stm $1,372,737 went for overhead, a good portion, undoubtedly being graft. Superintendent of Char- ities Jensen, who is a wealthy corpor- ation lawyer, gets $7,500 a year, while men working with pick and shovel in the hot sun earn 40 cents an hour. The points where workers will gather for the march are: Washing- ton and Figtiera, Central and 12th, Brooklyn and Evergreen, Echo Park and Temple, Lincoln Park and Main, San Fernan and North Broadway.
