Nazi Sterilization Barbarism Delayed Shortage of Funds) Holds Up Action BERLIN, Jan. 2.—Nazi plans for mass sterilization of political op- ponents of the fascist regime, under the guise of sterilizing hereditary de- fectives, were delayed today as a re- sult of the failure of the sterilization | courts to open, due to the growing financial bankruptcy of the Nazi gov- ernment. Dr. Arthur Guett, “eugenics expert” of the murder regime, indicated, how- ever, that the Nazis are making a desperate effort to inaugurate this latest barbarity and that some of the courts would begin functioning in the next few days.

Win Right of CHICAGO, IL, Jan. 2.—Nearly 1,000 expelled and suspended paint- ers as well as unorganixed painters, will be re-admitted to the A. F. of L. union, the Brotherhood of Paint- ers, Paper Hangers and Decorators of America, without paying the $100 initiation fee. This victory is a result of the correct work and policy of the rank and file in struggle against the ex- pulsions and suspensions from the painters’ union of the A. F. of L. District Council No. 14 (Chicago) controlled by labor burocrats, for a long period of time followed the policy of expulsion of members from the union who opposed the 1,000 Expelled Painters to Re-Enter A.F.ofL. burocrats. They suspended and dropped unemployed members who were unable to pay the high dues. The rank and file opposition in the union systematically carried a struggle against the expulsions, fought for lower dues and initia- tion fee, for trade union democ- racy. The expelled and_ suspended painters formed into the Painters, Paper Hangers and Decorators Union, which began to organize the expelled, suspended and unorgan- ized workers, demanding jobs and fought for maintenance of union (Continued on Page 3) Japanese and British imperialists to convert that province into an appen- dage of their respective imperialisms end an outpost against the Soviet Union, ‘The province, which adjoins Soviet Turkestan, has ben the scene of a three-cornered struggle between local tools of Japanese and British imper- ialists and the impoverished masses, whose sympathies are with the Soviet Union and the Chinese Soviet Re- public, In Fukien, province, wheer sharp fighting continues in the new Gen- erals’ War, and between Nanking troops and the Chinese Red Army, | U.

They realized th ~scessity of a united front in th struggle against Yankee imperialism.” “The Grau government,” Shepard said, “is concentrating its forces for complete suppression of the work- ers revolutionary organizations, par- ‘icularly the Communist Party. “On the 18th of December, the sovernment made a bloody attack on the Cuban National Confederation of Labor. Dozens of workers were ar- rested for protesting against the chauvinist 80 per cent law, which Grau uses to split: the ranks of the workers.” “The section of Principe Fortress where political prisoners are held is an old dungeon where the prisoners are thrown in and crowded like cattle. The food is bad and very little of it is given. The jails are filling up as under Machado with revolutionary workers and students who are fight- ing against the Grau murder regime.” Comrade Shepard declared it was only due to the mass pressure of the workers’ organizations throughout Cuba and the threatened hunger Strike that finally forced their release. “No charges were made against us,” stated Shepard. “No political pris- oners are charged or given trials. They are just jailed at the order of Grau, Guiteras or Batista, “in. prison. we learned that the United States Wall Street embassy had_a hand in our arrest.

A mass delegation; was sent today to Washington, where they will present their protests to | Federal Administrator Hopkins. One of their main demands is for $1 a day cash relief for unemployed sea-| men. An announcement was made Dec. 31 that forced labor would be in. stituted beginning Tuesday, and that Hardin, the Anchorage official, would be made Fe“eral Relief Ad-, ministrator there. This is the first step upon the part of the F. R. A. and the Anchorage officials to crush the movement led by the Waterfront Unemployed Council, which recently has scored a number of victories, compelling the authorities to put out three meals a day, abolish forced; ‘abor and to recognize the right of | ‘he unemployed committee to inspect Ul relief and present the grievances | f the seamen. | The Waterfront Unemployed Coun-' cil immediately called a meeting, at which 116 unemployed se: showed up. Demands were drawn up against forced labor and to call a strike if attempts were made to enforce it. The demands also included the re- moval of Hardin and Mitchel from the Federal Part of the Anchorage Building, and the recognition of the committee. At supper time that night, which was immediately after this meeting, the committee took the floor while ; the men were eating and began to read the demands. The Anchorage officials called the cops, who came on the run, but seeing all the men stick- ing together they decided not to pinch anyone. When Hardin said the committee did not represent anyone, the com- mittee called upon everyone to show} their support by coming outside. Over two hundred marched outside the Anchorage, shouting their slo- gans, especially “DOWN WITH RACKETS.” Not over half a dozen remained inside—stool pigeons of the Anchorage. A short open-air meet- ing was held and the demands all Tread and adopted by the meeting. A committee was elected to go to Washington. Then the meeting was adjourned and everyone went back to their supper. No one was black- listed.

LaGuardia in First Official Act Asks For Wage, Job Cuts Exemp ts Police Pay From Proposed Slashes NEW minutes after the Board of Alder- men opened their meeting today, ‘Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia submit- ted a resolution asking that the State lezislature give him sweeping 0 slash city wages and re- duce civil ser employment. LaGuardia ed the five fol- lowing reasons for asking the dras- tic powers embodied in his bill: first, that the city must pay the Wall Street bankers what it prom- ised them under the Untermyer tax agreement; second, an admission that unemployment funds are rap- idly dwindling; third, that city pey- rolls are in danger; fourth, that the city must slash its exvenses if it is to get the $23,000,000 promised by the Federal Government for the completion of the 8th Avenue sub- way; and last, for delinquent tax payments. Protects Police Pay Nesnite the assault on city wages and jobs, LaGuardia today retained the city aviation police, and speci- ;fically exempted the pay of first grade policemen from the proposed pay cuts. It is apparent that LaGuardia is holding the proposed Federal $23,- 000,000 loan as a club over the heads of the city’s civil service em- ployees to beat down resistance to drastic wage slashes. Pay Bankers LaGuardia’s plane to “balance the budget” are all directed toward guaranteeing the annual payments of $100,000,000 which the city pays in to the Wall Street bondholde: His insistence of balancing the bu: get, therefore, means reductions in| relief, an increase in the subway fare, and wage cuts. The city is paying enormous salaries to the} |top office holders, while it con-| | templates the slashing of the civil service employees. LaGuardia’s sal- ary is $25,000 a year. To date, LaGuardia has not men- tioned any measures for the main- tenance of adequate relief for the jobless. On the contrary, he has hinted at further reductions through | a program of “scientific relief.” | RRS SES a Ss CWA Truck Explosion Causes Death of Two COLUMBUS, Wis., Jan. 2.—A truck carrying 900 pounds of ex- plosives exploded today at May- ville, near here, burning two work- ers to death.

Poyntz answered that the women can’t be bulldozed. Poyntz told LaGuardia, “If your friend, Vincent Astor, were here, y |would give him different treatment | than we are getting.” LaGuardia said at one time in the |interview with Lasser’s committee. | that the unemployed will always get a hearing. ““Put that down My.
