It is clearly the task of not only the veterans, a large proportion of whom are jobless, but of the entire working class, to carry on a nation-wide mass movement for the immediate enactment by Congress of the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill (H. R. 7598). The partial concessions gained by the veterans shows the method of secur- ing the enactment by Congress of real unemploy- ment insurance. The mobilization of additional hundreds of thousands of workers and farmers be- hind the Workers’ Bill will force Congress to enact the bill. Mass pressure has won restoration of the pay cuts of the federal employees, whom Roosevelt, with Congressional approval, gave a wage slash of fif- teen per cent in his Economy Act. The Chicago convention of the postal substitutes, the marches, protests and demonstrations of the postal employees against the drastic wage cuts, the protest of the workers, has forced Congress to restore this pay cut. The fifteen per cent wage slash put over by Roosevelt on the government employees at the time when living costs of the workers were sky-rocketing, created a storm of protest among the masses and forced Congress, which represents the bankers and the bankers “Economy Program,” to yield and rescind its previous wage slash. The Congressional elections are approaching. The politicians of the employers are attempting to evade the demands of the masses for security by increased demagogy. Thus the Wagner Bill Which under the guise of “unemployment insurance” actu- ally prevents any benefits to the jobless, has been put forward by the Roosevelt administration. The N, R. A,, the Wagner Co. Union Bill, are put tor- ward as of “benefit” fo the workers at the same time that they are aimed at smashing the workers’ organizations and lowering their living standards. All kinds of “friends of the people” will spout hot air and make extravagant promises in these elec- tions. The politicians will talk “radical” in order to be in a position to put over Roosevelt’s Hunger Deal on the workers. In the coming Congressional elections the masses of workers and farmers should participate to the fullest extent. The only party in the election cam- paign which supports the above demands of the rank and file of the veterans and of all the unem- ployed—the only party which supports and fights for all of the demands and needs of the working class, is the Communist Party, In the coming Congressional elections, the strengthening and build- ing of the Communist Party, the only party of the workers and farmers, will advance the cause of the rank and file veterans, the unemployed and the entire working class, Sen.

Fri announced Pre were passed ‘out a record vote | y the White House ident Roosevelt is pushing the whole program. Louis Howe, political advisor and secretary to the President, informed n2wspapermen that the President wants all those anti racketeering bills passed. These measures are sponsored by William Randolph Hearst, the red- | baiting publisher. They were in- | troduced by Dr. Royal S. Copeland; | Tammany Senator. Also Pending in Congress are a number of “anti-sedition” bills, aimed direct, according to their sponsors, at the Communist Party and other radical groups. Without a public hearing and with short but tel discussion, Senate rushed ils through yesterday with all dispatch. One of the bills thus passed is so openly anti-labor that even American Federation of Labor officials to day privately confessed it is “very dangerous.” These Measures call for mass _ protests direct to Copeland and to the Speaker of the House, which must pass them before they can become law. One of the bills approved by the Senate declares: “Any person who, in connection with or in relation to any act in amy way or to any degree affect- ing, burdening, hindering, des- troying, stifling, or diverting trade or commerce, commits or threat- ens to commit any act of violence, intimidation, or injury to a person or property, coerces or attempts to coerce any person, firm, asso- riation or corporation to join or net to join an association, firm, corporation er group. . . or coerces or attempts to coerce any person, firm, etc., to do an act which such person, firm, etc., has a legal right not to do... shall, upon conviction thereof, be guilty of a felony.” Quick to admit that this bill would be used to suppress union or- ganization as well as militant group protests, ete, the A. F. of L. offi- eials compared it with the Lever act of the world war days, used precisely this way and worded similarly though less drastically, and repealed | in 1922. | Senator Stephens, reactionary | Mississippi democrat, defended the bill by telling the Senate that the attorney general appeared before a} secret meeting of the senate judi-| ciary committee and urged enact- ment. In a memorandum the at- torney general explained that “anti the quietness and | | many limitations engrafted upon the | act by interpretations of the courts, the act is not well suited for pro- secution of persons who commit acts | of violence, intimidation, and ex- | tortion. , . the accompanying statute | is designed to void many of the em- barrassing limitations in the work- | ing interpretation of the Sherman |} (anti trust) Act.” Senator Stephens told the Senate | that “crime has reached very large proportions,” and that “based on that and other considerations as | well,” the bills were introduced. The “other considerations,” it is very | | well known here, are the rising| | strike wave and labor's fight to en- | force its right to organize and bar- gain collectively. one state to another for the purpose or the giving of testimony in certain cases;” would amend the Federal kidnapping act to declare that “it shall be presumed” that anyone missing for three days has been “kidnapped” and that anyone aid- ing in transporting him beyond state boundaries should be subject to prosecution for kidnapping; would make it a felony to transmit or aid in the transmission of any letter or message from any federal penal correctional institution or any inmate “otherwise than in accord- ance with the rules and regulations governing” this; would make it a aan ‘punishable by $10,000 fine es | Other bills passed by the Senate | without a record vote would make | | it unlawful for anyone to “flee from | the | of avoiding prosecution (bold face) | the United States engaged in the | performance of his official duties.” | Democratic leader Robinson of Arkansas called for enactment of | the whole program, and democratic | Senator Ashurst of Arizona repeated | that the attorney genegal “vehe- ay. urged the passage of the ills.” “Without exception?” asked Sena- tor Walsh of Massachusetts, “Yes without exception.” Typical of the bills aimed direct at radical activities is one by | Representative McLeod of Michigan (Detroit), to make it unlawful “for any person to advocate or advise the overthrow, or to write, or knowingly to print, publish, utter, sell, or distribute any docu- nal... or by transmission by radio in or by which there is advised | the overthrow by violence or by physical injury to person or prop- | erty of the government of the United States,” This bill provides a $5,000 fine and five years imprisonment, or either, for use of the mails for such mate- rials, and would take citizenship away from naturalized citizens McLeod told your correspondent that he has little hope of enact- ment of this bill at this session of Congress. That conforms to the general impression around the capitol. However, this bill, similar to a host of others already intro- duced, is but a natural follow-up of the anti-labor measures now being pushed by Roosevelt. NEW YORK.—The campaign of | the Friends of the Soviet Union and the trade unions to elect at least ten workers in various American |industrial centers as delegates to | the Soviet Union, is making head- way. Thus far, the prospects are | that the following delegates will be j sent: Westinghouse worker f rom Pittsburgh. Chemical worker from Lancas- ter, Pa. Textile worker from Paterson.

Workers Elect Delegates To Visit Moscow for May Day The delegates will sail from New York City on April 14 on the Ile de France. They will attend the his- toric May Day celebration on Red Square, Moscow, as guests of the Soviet trade unions. Then they will make a tour of investigation through various socialist cities, in- dustrial centers and collective farms. The F.8.U, emphasizes that there is no more effective way to bring home the truth about the Soviet Union to the American masses than to elect such delegates. Hence the emphasis placed upon the election of the delegates from basic indus- tries and from big industrial plants. All who wish to help in the cam- paign for delegates are urged to send the funds collected in to the Nations].

They gathered in front of 17 Bat- | tery Pl. at 10 a.m, carrying placards demanding the release of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German Communist Party, and 200,000 other imprisoned and tortured anti-fascists | in Germany, and protesting against the persecution of Jewish workers and small traders and professionals in Germany. Called by the Jewish Workers and People’s Committee Against Fascism and Anti-Semitism, the demonstra- tion rallied workers from many trade unions, fraternal and other workers’ organizations. With ranks undiminished despite the soaking rain, the 4,000 marched up to Union Square, where hundreds more joined in a mass meeting. Nazi Admits Torture of Thaelmann 8,000 Hear Delegates of Paris Workers Report on Berlin Visit PARIS, Mar. 16 (By Mail). —Kight thousand Paris work- ers last night heard the re- port of a workers’ delegation elected by the workers of 14 large Paris plants under the aus- pices of the World Committee Against War and Fascism, to visit Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German Communist Party, in the Berlin dungeon where he is kept by the Nazis. They had returned, hav- ing been unable to see the German leader. But what they were told by one of the many Nazi officials they interviewed confirms the fact, previously made public, that ‘Thaelmann has been subjected to brutal tortures by the Nazis. They demanded to see Thael- mann, saying that alarming reports have been spread that he is serious- ly ill, “But Thaelmann is better now,” said State Councillor Schmolz, in vrfect French to the delegates. ammediately he discovered his slip, reddened, and tried to correct _him- self and said he meant that Thael- mann was well, The delegates, Clement Laiteau, worker from the St. Denis gas works, and Maurice Zenine, a phy- sician, were finally told that they could not be recognized unless they were recommended by the French embassy. The French embassy refused to have anything to do with the workers, thus showing how ready the French government is to assist the Nazi butchers against the workers. “Why do you want to see Thael- mann, more than anyone else?” all the Nazi functionaries asked. Paris Workers Paid Expenses “Because for us he is the repre- sentative of the political prisoners in Germany,” answered the French workers, “Where did you get the money for your trip?” they were asked. They answered that the money was raised by 2,000- gas house workers and 6,000 railway workers of, Paris who had elected the two worker delegates, Finally, after four days of making the rounds of all official depart- ments in Berlin, the delegates were definitely told that the Nazis would not let them see Thaelmann. cS VERY From Del’s sketchbook drawn at the C.W.A. mass protest meeting, March 29, COMMISSIONER HOBSON BEING SYMPRHE TiC / HERG. © BENsAMIN © Sh Sey Path A oe UNEM, SSS: peace comin AN EARE UL In City Hall.

Tn Rescue | Attempt Noted Soviet Flyer Injured By Crash Levanevsky, Mattern’ Rescuer, Forced Down By Ice (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, April 1, (By Radio). — F. A, Levanevsky, Soviet aviator who last year rescued James Mattern, was slightly injured when the nine- passenger plane he ‘was piloting crashed on its way to the rescue of the 69 remaining members of the Chelyuskin artic expedition who are camping on an ice-fioe in the Bering Sea. A radiogram from Professor George A. Ushakov, leader of a restue expedition, reports: “I flew with Levanovsky from Nome, Alaska, to Cape Van Karem, Siberia, The weather changed suddenly at Cape Onman. Within five minutes a dense fog came down. Wishing to break through and go back, Levan- evsky ascended 2,500 meters, but could not get above the fog. Within ten minutes the plane was coated with ice and started rapidly losing speed and falling. The pilot suc- ceeded in keeping the plane on an Red I lag Flies On Grave of Austrian Hero Dollfuss Has to Caneel “Patriotic Parade” In Vienna VIENNA, April 1—A red flag flew yesterday on a pine tree over the grave of Kolo- man Wallisch: Mayor of Bruck, leader of anti-fascist fighters, who was hanged by the Dollfuss- Heimwehr terror court, after work ers twice attempted to demonstrat. at the grave in Leoben. In Klagenfurt, one of the first juries set up to try workers arrested after the anti-fascist fighting re fused to convict two workers for distributing leaflets attacking the Dollfuss-Heimwehr government. This occurred despite the fact that according to the fascist jury sys- tem judges and jury consult toge- ther. Despite the acquittal, one of the workers was held for a second trial. Jury Lists “Purified” In preparation for mass jury trials of workers, the jurors’ list is being combed by special order, ta remove from it all men under 40 years, and all whose “conduct as a citizen is not irreproachable.” In Vienna alone, 1,600 persons are to be brought for trial before these juries. The twice postponed parade of the Patriotic Front in Vienna has been put off indefinitely. The veason is that the government has made no progress toward the “co- ordination” of the workers in the capital, and Dollfuss dares not ven- ture to address them. The “cele- bration” has taken place in most other centers in Austria. Seventeen hundred Vienna police- men have claimed the right to take over the homes of workers in the fine model workers’ tenements of Vienna. Already 300 workers’ fam- ilies have been evicted to maka room for policemen and their fam- ilies. Balance Sheet of Terror The balance sheet of terrorist “Justice” against the insurgent workers of Austria, up to March 15, excluding the hangings, are as fol- lows: six workers sentenced to hard labor for life, six to 20 years, ten to 15 years, six to 12 years, four to 10 years, and seven to 5 to 8 years, The courts-martial have imposed sentences at hard labor totaling 600 years. The management of the Austrian federal railways has announced that 2,000 more railway workers are to be laid off, in addition to mass lay- offs in recent months,. which. have brought the force down to 56,000 workers. The layoffs are to be based on militancy and political ac- tivity. Workers Take Over Jugoslay Fascist Meeting in Chicago (Daily Worker Midwest Bureau) CHICAGO.—Revolutionary work- ers took over the floor at a meet- ing of 600 workers last Sunday at, 1sth St. and Ashland Ave., called) by the fascist Jugoslavy Central Or-) ganization, and had two resolutions! against Jugoslav fascism passed by the assemblage.

The second demanded the removal of the local Jugoslav Consulate. even keel, but was forced to a land- ing. The undercarriage was carried away as we struck land, and the plane bounced twice before coming to a stop. Levanevsky’s face was injured, the others are unhurt. That. we are all alive is due to the self- control of the pilot.” Accompanying Ushakov and Lev- anevsky was Clyde Armistead, American mechanic.

These orders, together with smaller one which have come from differ- ent parts of the country, have raised the total of May Day edition copies order to well over 350,000 so far. Several districts, however, still lag behind in their activities for the preparation of a half-million-copy sales on May Ist. These include districts which have already ordered bundles as well as several from which no word has yet been re- ceived. Detroit, for example, national cen- ter of the automobile industry, where thousands of workers are rapidly, despite the A. F. of L. and N.R.A, sell-out, preparing for great- er struggles, has ordered only 15,000 copies, a drop of 10,000 from the 25,- 000 order it placed for the Tenth Anniversary edition. Where is the actual carrying out of our slogan, “Double the Tenth Anniversary edi- tion orders”? Detroit should order in practice. ‘The inadequacy of Detroit’s 15,000 order is thrown into sharper relief if it is compared with Seattle’s or- der of 13,000 copies. Pittsburgh, too, which ordered only 7,000 copies of the May Day edition, has dropped from the over 10,000 copy order it placed for the Tenth Anniversary edition. ‘New Jersey’s 10,000 order is tenta- tive; it has set itself a quota of 20,000, of which this 10,000 has al- ready been definitely ordered.
