NEW YORK.—An appeal to all workers throughout the count save Frenk Borich, secretar} National Miners Union, from imme- diate deportation to Jugo-Slavia, was made today by William L. Patterson, national secretary of the Interna- tional Labor Defense, Jack Stachel, of the Trade Union Unity League, and Israel Amter, National Secretary of. the Unemployed Councils: “Secretary of Labor Perkins has ordered Frank Borich deported im- medfately to fascist Jugo-Slavia,” says the appeal. “This is 2 move to be- gin: the beheading of all militant trade-union movements. It is an at- tempt to terrorize the foreign-born workers engaged in struggle for bread and work.

Worker Delegates Protest Nazi Rally at City Hall Today Nazis Boast Plans Are Already Made for Police Guard NEW YORK.—While a New York Nazi leader boasted that the police department had already arranged for a heavy guard at the “German Day” Nazi rally next Sunday evening, Mayor John P.

But Has Other Laws to Use By SEYMOUR WALDMAN day” her department has intensified its plans for the denortation of for- eign-born Russians “illegally” in this country, Thus the liberal representa- tive of the Roosevelt cabinet gave sharp notice that the impending Lit- vinov-Roosevelt recognition conver- sations have in no way influenced or changed the antagonistic policy of the. administration towards militant | foreign-born labor leaders. The secretary made her blunt an- ;mouncement in answer to the ques- i tion put, by another correspondent: “Is the department studying the question of deporting Russians?” “Several people have written to me asking for an investigation of Rus- sians in this country,” declared Sec- retary, “Are these people officials of the government?” this writer asked. “No they are not,” was the reply. “Precisely under what government regulations do you intend to deport foreign-born Russians?” “Well,” replied the secretary, in the manner of one enumerating what | dishes will be served for dinner to- night, “there is the provision for il- legal entry, the matter of not being able to provide support, and the’ ad- | vocacy of overthrowing this govern- ment by forceful means.” “Then you don’t need the passage of the Dies bill (provides for the ‘ex- clusion and expulsion of alien Com- munists’) for deporting these Rus- sians?” “The Dies bill, the Dies bill? I've never seen it,” said the secretary, de- spite the fact that she was queried ;on this very bill in the first press conference she gave as a cabinet of- ficer, early last March, When asked whether the Labor De- partment will pess on the merits of a strike when called upon to do so by the Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration so that the latter organ- ization may withhold relief from “un- justified” strikers, Miss Perkins re- plied, evasively: “I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.” In the light of the fact that this is the second time ‘she has been asked that question in two successive press confererices, the bridge doesn’t seem to be anywhere in sight. At the beginning of the conference the correspondents were given a statement which the secretary char-, acterized as “a further refinement of our figures last week”—statistical ballyhoo for the N.R.A. Thouzh the Labor Department reported that “N.R.A. codes brought a substantial increase in average hourly earnings, a decrease in average hours worked per week and increased employment in September,” it failed to relate its “findings” to the increase in prices which has resulted in widespread re- duction of the real wages received by the workers. “Have you any figures on the rela- tion of hours and wages to the cost candidate for Mayor, will head a of living?” your correspondent asked. delegation from the Party.

Comrades of the Daily Worker: “I want to give the first dollar I received from the International Labor Defense to the Daily Worker Campaign fund.

This is the first dollar which is really mine and I want to spend it the best way. “No one feels the need of the Daily Worker more than the workers isolated in the prisons. It is not only the sole means which connects us to the labor movement, but we live through the dramatic struggles of our comrades who are free through the medium of the ‘Daily.’ As has been proven the Daily Worker is the only medium that can rally the working class to the defense and rescue of its fallen victims in the class war.

T. W. U. Leadership PATERSON, N. J., Oct. 24—The leaders of the United Textile Work- ers Union, aided by an army of po- lice and gunmen in every mill, broke the ranks of the dye strikers this morning and forced part of the strikers back to work. The break in the strike was made by Eli Keller and Jack Rubinstein, Lovestoneite or- ganizers of the U.T.W. and Frank Schweitzer, the U.T.W. secretary, in the same treacherous manner that they have tried to break the strike from the beginning. The silk strike of 10,000 workers continues. At last night’s meeting of the A. F. of L. dye workers in Turn Hall, the dye workers present showed clearly their opposition to returning to work. The U.T.W. leaders did not announce the vote, which was taken by secret ballot, but told the workers to go home and listen to the radio and the vote would be announced at ten o'clock. At 9:30 in the evening, the Paterson News came out with an extra, and here for the first time the U.T.W. leaders announced the re- Sults of the vote, undoubtedly the figures being doctored.

Minor and Jack Rosenberg, a young striker, who faces trial with him, were arrested Sept. 6, for picketing in defi- ance of an injunction granted to the Progressive Table Company, an N.R.A. furniture plant. Joseph Tauber, In- ternational Labor Defense Attorney, will defend Rosenberg while Minor, as in a hearing Sept. 26, will defend himself. “This is a case where an unscrupu- lous employer,” reads the affidavit which Minor and Rosenberg have sub- mitted, “resorting to perjury and sub- ornation of perjury, is making use of and has at his full disposol the machinery of the law to crush the lives of many working class families, to enforce starvation wages (which at the time the trouble arose were as low as $6.90 per week) and slave conditions “Infamous, indecent contempt for the rights of the people,” the affidavit continues, “could not be more clearly expressed.
