But when it comes to import, Mr. Green takes copious leayes from. the book of Hitler and Dolifuss. Let's turn attention to Mr. Green’s verbal protest, which he himself says is intended for “publicity,” and not to arouse any action on the part of the American workers in support of their Austrian brothers. “The inhuman persecution of Socialists and work- ing people of Austria,” says the mealy-mouthed Green, “has excited the righteous indignation of all working People in our country Which gives the secret to Green's belated protest. | Ti seems inconceivable that those in charge of | and responsible for government would countenance an onslaught with artillery firing upon apartment houses in which men, women and children resided.” Mr. Green has forgotten the Ludlow massacre when | the very bosses whom he now serves rained fire and representative of the desire of | s to reap the fruits of the revolu- {| bullets on tent colonies of Colorado miners, burning men, women and children to cinders, What Mr. Green complains about is that in the class war the capitalists exceeded the rules of impe- rialist war. “The rules of war,” he points out to them, “which apply to wars between nations, prohibit such @ cruel onslaught upon defenseless women and chil- dren as the press reports show was practiced by the troops who were acting under the instructions of Chan- cellor Dolifuss.” But without ing cle. exception, Mr. Green, when the work- takes to the barricades and seeks to over- throw the capi n which you support by every means, no slaughter, no holocaust, no brutality, no torture is too great to be used by the exploiters. What is more, it’s the Greens, the Wolls, the Lewises who are the first to call for the wholesale slaughter of revolutionists, who cry for the blood of workers who resort to arms against capitalism. “The civilization and justice of bourgeois order,” said Karl Marx, writing on the Paris Commune, “comes out in its lurid light whenever the slaves and drudges of that order rise against their masters. Then this civilization and justice stand forth as un- disguised savagery and lawless revenge.” ° ° © ‘ IR.

HE AMERICAN SOCIALIST LEADERS cail for ap- Peals to Roosevelt. They want the workers them- selves not to act against their own capitalists, but want them to submit their protests to the very capi- talist government that breaks their strikes, lowers their Wages, and suppresses their working class organiza- tions. Here the united front of the Socialist leaders with the fascist Woll uncovers itself in all its ghastliness, They do not want the A. F. of L. members, the So- clalist and Communist workers, to form a power- ful class united front against the Austrian butchers, @ united front, which, to be effective, must come in conflict, must resist the fascist moves of the American capitalist class. All A. F. of L. members, in taking steps for action in support of their Austrian brothers, when this state- ment of Green comes before them, should expose its | Teal content and significance. In every A. F. of L, local resolutions of protest should be adopted and sent to the Austrian embassy in Washington. Money should be collected for the Austrian revolutionary workers, to aid them in their struggles. Special meetings should be arranged to dis- cuss the Austrian events and to draw valuable lessons for the American workers from them in their strug- gles against American capitalism, against fascism. Against these maneuvers of the betrayers of the American workers a real united front of all workers must be built up who do not take the road desired by Wall Street, the road of “publicity and govern- ment channels,” but takes the road of powerful class action, mass demonstrations, strikes, the forging of a powerful, lasting united front ageinst all fascist at- tacks, not only in Austria, but Particularly at home, in the United States, Inquiries Flood Headquarters of Trade Unions Resolutions, Funds Pour | in from All Corners of Soviet Union Special to the Daily Worker MOSCOW,,.Feb.. 21 The All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions ‘is flooded with inquir- s from all parts of the Soviet Unicn, 2 where to send funds collected |for the relief of Austrian workers, | victims of fascist terror.

Hathaway, editor of the Daily Worker, at the Madison Square Garden meeting last Friday. Who are tie police? As the greatest leaders of the revolution- ary movement, Karl Marx, Fred- erick Engels and V. I.

For example, the New York Daily News, carries on an open campaign for increased violence. After the demonstration of Socialist and Com- munist workers before the Austrian Consulate, the Daily News published one of tke most blood-thirsty edito- rials yet to appear in a capitalist paper. This editorial was entitled, “Use Violence Against the Reds!” That is the slogan of Hitler, Doll- fuss and Mussolini.

France to Tax Wages of Foreign Born 10 p. c. PARIS, Feb. 21—All non-French workers in France must pay ten per cent of their wages in a special tax, under the provisions of a bill passed in the Chamber of Deputies today. This tax will hit more than 2,000,- 000 foreign-born workers of many nationalities, in particular German, Italian, and Central European work- ers, who are thus made subject to a ten per cent wage-cut in addition to the crushing taxes which all workers in France must pay. Trish Free State Begins Recruiting New State Army DUBLIN, Feb. 21—The Irish Free State begins today the recruiting of a territorial army of 15,000. This state force is intended to nite those who fought against each other in the civil war,” which means that it is designed. to arm and train a state force for the suppression of ell working class resistance, in addi- tion to the recently organized politi- cal police force. Like the state army of Austria, this territorial force ostensibly organized in opposition to the fascist Blue Shirt gangs and the Irish Republican Army is intended to become the state arm for the imposition of fascism (Britain Threatens South America to Force More Trade LONDON, Feb, 21.—An open threat to South American countries to buy British goods or lose all chance to borrow new money or get any con- cessions on old loans from British financiers was made in the House of Commons by representatives of some of the most powerful British indus- trial and financial interests. This threat, which takes the form of a demand that the British gov- ernment refuse to allow any British support of the nearly bankrupt South American countries unless they agree to spend the bulk of all new credits in Great Britain, is a declaration of intensified trade war against the United States. Both British and American finan- ciers with billions to lend and no safe market, and industrialists using every resource to capture markets for their products, are now mobilizing their most powerful resources short of war in their desperate fight for markets. Coming on top of the attempts of each country to squeeze the other out by cheapening their currency and thereby cheapening their exports, this new step brings the conflicts and antagonisms between the world’s greatest imperialist countries to a sharpness which is moving them headlong toward war as the only cap- italist way to seek a solution of their crisis, ing Workers, in the I.

O’Ryan NEW YORK.—A former Army officer, trained in the same Na- tional Guar'i Company with Police Commissioner General John F. O’Ryan, who witnessed the brutal slugging of workers on the Library steps at the time of the demonstra- tion before the Austrian consulate, sent a letter of protest to the Gen- eral against the unprovoked attack on men and women. The letter, signed by Paul P. Crosbie, follows: papa ovine New York, N. Y¥. Feb. 15th, 1934. General John F. O’Ryan, Police Commissioner, New York City Sir: To introduce myself I mention a few facts, I began my military career under Captain “Billy” Underwood in} “G” Company 7th Regt. N.G.N.Y., just | as you did. In 1915 I was one of the | first hundred to enroll for and or- ganize the first Citizens Military Training Camp. In 1917 I enrolled in the First Officers Training Camp and began 25 months of military ser- vice that took me to France for more than a year and gave me 56 con- secutive days at the front. The rec- ords of the 313 F. A. and the tes- timony of the men and officers of this regiment will attest my service to my country. Further, my ancestors fought in our first revolutionary war and through many succeeding generations have been respected and useful citizens of this country. I am a graduate of one of our oldest and most distin- guished colleges, the father of five grown children, and feel myself as well qualified to speak in the name of the United States as any man alive. Now tomy story. Yesterday I took part in the demonstration before the Austrian Consulate, a demonstration by American citizens against the mur- der of fellow workers by a decadent government that can only hold: its i power by the brutal murder and op- pression of the majority of its cit- izens. In making this demonstration I and thousands of others were only exercising our fundamental right of Peaceful assembly and free speech. We were unarmed and utterly un- prepared for violence. The streets and sidewalks were, of course, jammed with protestants and the steps of the Library crowded with onlookers. Without warning or any provocation that I could see, a squad of mounted police charged down Fifth Avenue from 43rd Street, bowl- ing over pedestrians as they went. In front of the Library they executed a right turn and charged up the steps into the crowd, a crowd that was penned in and helpless. I followed after, helping prostrate women and children on to their feet and out of the way of flying hoofs. A squad of brutal police on foot followed your mounted Cossacks and belabored us, who were rescuing the fAllen, For the first time in a long and active life I felt the sting of a policeman’s club. Sir, I was dumfounded. I saw innocent women and men cracked over the head with clubs in the hands of your vicious police. I saw Robert myself was clubbed for going to his aid, In the past, both as father and as Scout Master, I taught youth to look upon the police as their friends and faithful servants. Your brutal police taught me that I was wrong. Yesterday they were the upholders of fascist terror. I prote-i, Sir, and demand that disciplinary action be taken against the entire detail that smeared the steps of the Library, and especially against the officer who gave that brutal and unnecessary order for the mounted police to charge. Yours truly, —Paul FP. Crosbie “Although his party has long campaigned against the use of police clubs, to subdue disorderly civilian demonstrators, Louis Wald- man, former Socialist candidate for governor, was emphatic in favoring their employment in out- breaks, like the one at the Garden, which grew out of 2 Pink rally protesting ‘Austrian butcheries’” A Socialist leader becomes em- phatic in demanding the police use their clubs when Communists ask for a united front with Socialist workers in support of their Austrian brothers. A Socialist leader becomes emphatic in urging the police crush the heads of workers with their clubs when Communists and Socialist workers protest the sullying of the heroie deeds of the Austrian workers by the fascist Woll and Mayor La- Guardia. “The police handied themselves admirably,” said Waldman, “and did the best they could with their bare hands to halt the brawl, but they should be equipped with night- sticks on occasions like that one.” What was the occasion? Commun- ists were joining with Socialist work- ers to fight against fascism, to arouse tremendous protest against the slaughter of the ustrian workers. The Socialist leaders were not satisfied in splitting the head of Comrade Hatha- way with chairs. They want the police to jump in and finish the job with their clubs. Every striker who has seen the brutal cops march by with their clubs, who has seen his fellow worker felled to the ground by police clubs, will boil with indignation at this fascist declaration of the Socialist leader Waldman. The police will remember this ‘n- yitation. “Haven't the Socialist lead- ers urged us to carry clubs.” they will argue. “It is true they want to pick the occasion. But we are the best Judges of that, being the best defend- ers of capitalism againct every strug- gle of the workers,” they will add. How closely these police, these gun- men protecting the interests of capi- talism, felt to the Socialist leaders is shown by the admiration they lavished on the gangster attacks they made at Madison Square Garden. Will Solve the Coal Crisis” | |Mary Van Kleeck Report By Russel Sage Foun- dation Hits Bosses | NEW YORK —Only by the struggle | tor power and the establishment ot | a planned economy, impossible under capitalism, will the workers be abl to solve such conditions of wide. | spread unemployment, waste, acci- | dents and bloodshed which now oc- |cur in the coal industry of the | United States, is the conclusion of | @ report published by the Rusell Sage Foundation, based on etxensive stu- | dies made by Mary Van Kleeck, di- | Tector of the founaation. The report issued by Miss Van | Kleeck points out that the coal in- dustry in the United States “has for |50 years caused continuous and Widespread unemployment, waste of | an indispensable. and unrestorable natural resource, and discrimination against the household consumer in favor of the steel industry, public utilities and other large industrial buyers.” She then contrasts the chaos, the bitter conditions of the American miners, with the planned economy of the Soviet Union, where under the development of Socialism the miners are not suffering from unemploy- ment, but with planned economy find their conditions constantly im- proved, Example of U. 8. 8. R. Such conditions, declare Miss Van Kleeck, can be achieved in the United States only by following the example of the Soviet Union. As. an immediate step, the report urges elimination of company unions, strengthening of the genuine trade unions of the miners, unemployment funds, complete freedom of the workers to organize, workers’ educa- tion and technical training. | However, it is made clear in the report that these are only temporary protective measures, A solution of the crisis in the coal industry can- not be considered apart from the “total economy” of the present order, points out Miss Van Kleeck. Political Structure Miss Van Kleeck says, adding: “The strugle for power to bring this change about will be between workers and owners. And in that task, which may well be the historic work of this generation, the miners will haye an important part to play, as they have played an important part in the workers’ struggles in the past.” Both economic and political struc- ture must be changed if the United States is to move from the present irrational condition of poverty in the midst of plenty to the constructive task of using the abundance of America’s natural resources to re~ place the present shamefully low standards of living in the basic ine dustries with security, comfort and commensurate with the skill and productivity of America’s workers.” r Attack on Workers ‘an for Mdre’ Violence Workers The views of the Socialist leaderé on police and against the Communist Party appeal for unity of all workers are sustained by the capitalist press, The New York Evening Post, a rabid supporter of Roosevelt’s fascist measures, published an editorial on the Madison entitled “Disgraceful.” It was dise graceful to this boss sheet for workers to prevent the scabby Woll and the strikebreaking LaGuardia from speaking, “Communists staged a disgraceful spectacle in breaking up the Austrian protest meeting at Madison Square Garden,” says the Post editorial. Not @ word can they find to characterize the vicious, murderous attack made on the editor of the Daily Worker, come rade Hathaway. They follow the cue given by the Jewish Daily Forward and conclude: “Only Nazi hoodlums could have equalled the demonstration by the Communists.” Which of course justifies, to the Socialist leaders and orn talist press the appeal to the police for a fascist attack on Communiste and all militant workers. It is no accident whatever that on the New York Daily News the editors have availed themselves of the servie ces of the Socialist David Karsnex, whose knowledge comes in handy for ae ened editorials. On the New ‘or! ening Post, the owners have the help of the Bociale Sorlale ist Edward Levinson, trained for antle Workingclass slander by his experience on the’ New Leader, Every Socialist worker must lool these facts squarely in the face, Where does this policy of his officials Jead to?
