Despite the authenciated revela- tions of the Reichstag fire of the “Brown Book of the Hitler Terror,” the legally proven innocence of the clumsily accused proletarian fight- ers, and the world knowledge that the Reichstag was burned by the Hitler general staff, Vollbehr not only repeais the stele lie but also deciares that “one of the incendiar- ies was caught red-handed,” fail- ing to add that the only proven in- members, affiliated with the Na- | tional Committee to Aid Victims of German Fascism.

City authori- | ties, trembling at the memory of the militant demonstration by C.W.

W.A. workers and the subsequent arrest and trial of 37 of the dem- onstrators, the greatest May Day demonstration in the history of Minneapolis is expected. Through- out the city workers and their or- ganizations are rallying to the United Front May Day demands for the Unemployment Insurance Bill H.

Fascism and War. ‘Sherwood, Strike Breaker, Lies to Frame Daily Writer NEW YORK.—"Yeah, my busi- ness is strikebreaking,” admitted Max Sherwood, alias Shelansky, yesterday afternoon when he tes- tifled for his crony George Wil- liams, in the libel hearing of Harry Raymond, Daily Worker Staff writer, in the Magistrates Court, 6th Ave. and 10th St, Williams, co-strikebreaker, ap- peared on the stand wearing a wig and sporting a cane. He said he was an “engineer and lecturer on Political economy.” Sherwood, a short, stocky man with a protrud- ing chin and horn-rimmed glasses, said he read the Daily Worker regularly and accused the news- paper of “changing its name every couple of months.” Sherwood admitted, after ques- tioning by Edward Kuntz, Inter- national Labor Defense lawyer de- fending Raymond, that he knew Nosovitsky, the man that wormed his way into the Communist Party and then wrote up forged docu- ments about a “red plot to over- throw the Calles government in Mexico,” which he later confessed. Sherwood had disseminated these documents to various business con- cerns throughout this country as a means of getting more strike- breaking jobs. Many workers packed the court, waiting until late afternoon to hear the case called, Throughout the day, as several fur workers and O©.W.A. pickets came up for trial, the workers made their opin- jons felt. The hearing before Judge Lin- dau will be continued tomorrow, 2pm, in the same court, Taxi Strike To Be Discussed at Irving Plaza Hall Friday NEW YORK.—The taxi strike will be discussed at the meeting of the Trade Union Unity Council on Fri- day, April 27, 8 p.m. at Irving Plaza.

The order of business of Fri- day’s meeting will include a report on Taxi and Transport, a report on final preparations for May First, and a special report to be given by Comrade Sullivan, head of the Un- employed Council.

Only about eighty scabs were reported to be inside the plant, and these were taken care of by the strikers. The Fisher Body plant employs more workers than any other concern in Cleveland. There are 12,000 workers in other automotive parts concerns in the city, The leaders of the Automobile Workers Federal Union (A. F, of L.) who called the strike under pressure from the rank and file, are holding strike meetings in a hall holding only 300, thus pre- venting the expression of opinion of the masses of the strikers, The picket lines are not well or- ganized by the leaders of the union, many gates being left with only a few pickets. The rank and file pickets, however, show their mili- tancy in stopping scabs from enter- ing the plant and stopping incoming supply trucks. The action of the rank and file alone has given a semblance of mass picketing. Despite the unfavorable time ele- ment, due to the fact that the strike was called at the end of the pro- duction season, the sentiment of the strikers is good. Only the ag- gressive policy of the rank and file can win the strike. The Daily Worker is being sold to the strikers. The Communist Party shop nucleus is also issuing the shop paper, the Spark Plug. Statements haye been issued by the Auto Workers Union and the Un- employment Council pledging full support to the strikers. The proposal of workers at the hall meeting yesterday for the elec- tion of a broad strike committee was curtly dismissed by Miley. The leadership is trying to discourage militant action in the conduct of the strike, such as vigorous mass picketing, etc. The demands of the strike are, recognition of the union, thirty per cent increase in wages, double time for Sundays and holidays, time and a half for overtime. No special de- mands for the youth or women have been drawn up by the union leaders, although all women and youth are striking, The strike began April 22, at a local meeting of the union, when the leaders felt they could not any longer stop strike action, See Soe Brass Workers Strike CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 24— Eight hundred and fifty workers of the Chase Brass Co., went on stri today under the leadership of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union. The company exerted the | steatest pressure to get scabs, but a |maximum of one hundred were working yesterday. This morning pickets stopped six cars trying to break through the picket lines. A company truck ran down one picket who is in the hospital. The strikers | demand 25 per cent increase, no} company union, and recognition of the 8. M. W. I. U. Four hudred workers from the first two shifts met last night, ap- proved the demands and elected a strike committee of twenty-five with all departments represented. The plant is located in Euclid Village, The local police are raising a red scare, trying to divide the strikers and the union. The strikers yester- day held up a train four hours and only under the threat of losing the job of the trainmen, finally moved. They promised that this was the last load. The strikers have appealed to the workers of the same com~ pany in Waterbury to strike also. Ninety per cent of the workers of the Baker Rauling Co., manufac- turers of auto bodies, signed up in the Auto Workers Union and adopted demands, including the de- mand for a twenty-five per cent in- crease in the piece work rate and a minimum of sixty cents an hour with union recognition. They will strike unless the demands are granted, iw (Special to the Daily Worker) ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 24—The three thousand Chevrolet and Fish- er Auto Body plant strikers, by their militant mass _ picketing today. brought production to a complete standstill. They are striking for reinstatement of 118 workers who were fired for union activity, and demanding union recognition, Eight strikers were arrested during a battle with a truckload of scabs, The company thugs stabbed one striker. Strong twenty-four hour picket lines have been established. The strikers enthusiastically re- ceived the leaflets issued to the strikers by the Trade Union Unity League, which called for mass pick- eting, for election of a broad strike committee with representation from all departments, for putting for- ward demands for the Negro, women and youth strikers, and for demand- ing a thirty per cent increase in wages. 4 Leuman Raises “Red Scare” Leuman, the vice president of the United Automobile Workers Federal Labor Union (A. F. of L,) which is leading the strike, was quoted: in the press as stating that all “radicalism” is “absolutely banned.” Leuman in the press said that any rank and filer supporting radicalism could turn in his membership card. He meant by “radicalism” militant ied or opposition to his leader- Ip. i The union officialdom, following in the footsteps of the national A, F. of L. officials, is making no efforts to win Negro workers to the si of the strike through unity action on the picket line and through fighting for demands for equal pay for equal work and the right of Negroes to work in all departments. This neglect of putting forward the demands of the Negro workers is practiced in the face of the fact that the company is using Negroes as scabs. Next Steps The reactionary element, including some picket captains, are trying to prevent the distribution of leaflets and of the Daily Worker, The workers have defended the Daily Worker agent although police threatened his arrest, The workers The Cage Season Ends quintet will face the defe the Roseland Sparks, for the basketball title.
