May 3.— Members of the Young Peoples So- cialist League actively participated in the United Front May Day de- monstration here, which was at- tended by 150 workers. Spellman, of the Y.P.S.L. acted as chairman. Other speakers included Ben Comp- ton, of the Communist Party, and Paul Wicks who spoke as a leading member of the Socialist Party of Western Massachusetts.

Steel bosses, police and federal agents began a furious campaign to punish the workers who com- mitted the “crimé.” Two young workers are held on suspicion while, according to the chief of police, William Forbis, “city lawyers are scanning the statute books in an attempt to find some charge to hold the men.” Latest reports were that no c.arges had been preferred, but that the youths had not been per- mitted freedom on bond. Federal authorities, led by BE. P. Reynolds, Gary immigration officer, were in- vestigating the citizenship of the two workérs, hoping to find some excuse to deport the boys. In spite of provocative and threatening statements in the boss press, several hundred workers at- tended the Gary May Day meeting at Washington Hall, Joe Weber, of the Trade Union Unity League, was the main speeker. es Waukegan Workers Defeat Police Threats, Trotzkyites (Daily Worker Midwest Bureau) CHICAGO, May 3.—The red flag’ threats by Chief of Police Ahlstrom that the meeting would be broken up, 250 Waukegan workers massed for a May Day meeting. Co-op- erating with the police attempt to wreck the meeting were counter- revolutionary Trotzkyites who tried to split the United Front. One worker was arrested for dis- tributing handbills advertising the meeting, and squads of police broke up an outdoor meeting at Water St. and Sheridan Rd. A committee of workers forced the immediate release of the arrested worker. The meeting was addressed by Leondis McDonald of the Commu- nist Party. Many Negro workers attended. A statement issued by the police chief to thé local press “prohibit- ing” all meétings had said, “Reds nay contempt for all organized law.” Over 50 Arrested In Detroit May Day DETROIT, May 3—Over 50 work- ers were arrested during the May Day demonstration and in the course of the preliminary prepara- tions. Seven were arrested in a police raid on two workers’ halls, the Mar- tin Hall and Rumanian Hall. All attempts of the city police and auto company dicks were un- able to halt the distribution of May | Day leaflets and the placarding of factories and other buildings with) May Day signs. On the Chrysler- was put up with the slogan, “Stop/| Speed Up.” Similar signs were nailed on the Hudson plant. Bundles of May Day leaflets were thrown into the open windows of Budd Wheel and other factories, where workers eagerly read them, On the old House of Correction, workers painted in large letters the slogan “Demonstrate in Grand Cir- cus Park for Release of Scottsboro Boys and Freedom of the Negro People.” For two days prior to the demonstration police and dicks vis- | ited homes of militant Negro work- | ers and threatened them if they par- ticipated in the May Day demon- stration.

J., May 3—This} city, center of the historic Passaic | textile strike of 1927-1928, witnessed a@ militant May Day- demonstration of 1,000 Negro and white workers, who paraded past the police sta- tion, where two workers, arrested the night before for distributing May Dey leafiets, were held. For the first time, workers par- ticipated directly from the shops, especially members of the National Textile Workers’ Union from the United Piece Dye Works of Lodi. Unemployed and fired C. W. A. workers who, a few weeks ago were influenced by the fascist Khaki} Shirts, left their ranks and joined the parade, many afterward join- ing the revolutionary organizations. The parade was led by a Negro worker from the Lodi plant, a white worker and a woman worker. The march was cheered by thou- sands lining the streets. After the parade, the wotkers assembled at Union Hall, 63 Third St., where a celebration and program was held. The Socialist leaders, fearing the sentiment of Socialist’ workers for the united front, herded their fol- lowing to New York City for the Madison Square Park pink-tea Meeting. See et Pawtuucket Workers Defy Police, Hear Ann Burlak on May Day PAWTUCKET, R. I., May 3.—One thousand workers surged into Times Sq. on May 1 in defiance of open threats in the local press of police violence against the demonstration. So great was the militancy of the workers that the police did not dare carry through their plans and abandoned their attempt to stop the meeting afer a police sergeant had failed to bull-doze Ann Burlak, main speaker and well- known leader of the 1931 textile strike. Burlak defied a threat to arrest her if she spoke. The workers backed her up with shouts, “She has a right to speak! We have the right to free speech!” ete. Burlak in her speech stressed the organized might of the working class, pointing out that it was pre- cisely because of such a large and militant turn-out that the police did not dare break up the meeting or make arrests. She urged the workers to learn from this expe- vience and apply the same tactics in their struggle for relief. and for | higher wages in the mills.

Absolutely no provision has been made to pay cash relief to the single unemployed workers, or to those unemployed who are not on the city relief rolls.

Fisher Strikers in Tarrytown Favor Mass Picketing (Gonbinusan fran Page 1) and the T. U. U. C. were enthusias- tically received by the strikers. The strike executive committee of the strikers has decided to issue a leaflet to the Chevrolet workers. According to conversations with workers in the Chevrolet plant, since the strike began, the wages of the Chevrolet workers have been reduced in many departments to sxty cents an hour. In the Fisher Body plant, some of the departments | which have not yet come out, such as the sprayers, have presented de- mands for $1.00 an hour. There is strike sentiment inside the Chevrolet plant and among the Fisher body men still at work. The strikers’ Federated Automo- tive Association affiliated with the American Federation of Labor as the result of action taken a few days ago. Leaflet Gives Demands The Auto Workers Union and the Trade Union Unity Council issued its third lesfiet to the strikers yes- terday. This leafiet which was dis- tributed by strikers themselves, pre- sents four demands, (1) thirty p. c. wage increase, (2) rescinding of the 10 per cent cut in Chevrolet and a 30 per cent increase, (3) no dis- crimination against any striker, (4) the right to join the union of their own choice. ‘The leaflet points out that stock is short in the plant, and that now is the time to tie up both plants, to spread the strike, to carry on mass picketing and to elect a broad | strike committee with representa-' tives from all departments. “The strike committee should have full right to negotiate with the em- ployers and brin back all areements to be finally decided upon by the strikers from both plants” the leafiet ' states, | Regarding the negotiations now going on in Detroit between A.

He will also speak. Both of them, it should be observed, have acquired a savoir-faite in the rare Hollywood atmosphete which is completely lacking in the brutes their profession is associated with. E I RECALL correctly, the last time so much attention, in the way of publicity, was poured into a fight by the intellectuals of the | press, was the event participated in by Mr. Tunney, the Shakespéarian scholar, and Mr. Heeney, who had Max Baer Primo Canera no erudition to his credit, but was | known as the “Hard Rock from) Down Under,” because he came from Australia. That was the last Battle of the Century promoted by Rickard, who promoted about a half-dozen Battles of the Century | in less than ten years. A lot of ink was spilled over that | battle, even though some of it was adverse. It was the only serious mistake Rickard ever made in the promoting end. I do not think it hastened his death, as some senti- mental souls maintained when we used to discuss him, because Rick- ard, in what little contact I had with him, and others that I know had with him, was no soft snap; but Heeney fight, that he was taken to heaven to get his due. When this happened he was working on the Sharkey-Stribling Florida _ enter- prise, and whether he would have | made any success with it is doubt- | ful—the Tunney-Heeney thing defi- | nitely closed the lucrative era of | professional prize-fighting—but the smash of Sharkey-Stribling, that is, reputationally, fell on Dempsey. It | Mr. Baer} would ever snare an heiress and travel around with people born to | the purple. I am afraid, too, that in of the boys laughed bitterly when thinking that they were getting hardly more than $50 a week while Eugene was gathering in the hun- dreds of thousands. If Mr. Tunney knew one thing at least, it was to feather his nest. . . . |@QINCE Mr. Tunney retired from |™ the vulgar life, there has been no }such character in the ring to pil- jlory. Neither has there been a heavyweight or a heavyweight | champion to whom to dedicate odes. |Schmeling was able to arouse the | experts to something of a pitch but | this was only because the rest of j the field was a desert. He engaged jin a preliminary contest and then jfought a main bout in none too- | distinigushed a fashion before he knocked out Johnny Risko and be- came thereby a hope. Hopes were badly needed when Herr Schmeling became prominent. He has fizzled out, however. The same sad fate has become Mr. Sharkey’s, and of the company of heavyweights who basked in the limelight three years ago those who are still fighting are decrepit. One can feel only sym- pathy for Loughran, for example. Carnera and Baer, of course, are hopeless in comparison even with Tunney. Tunney was a crafty and cruel fighter. It would be hard to call him a quitter or a lug in the ting. He did not quit to Greb, though béaten almost senseless, but returned to Greb a few months later and repaid him. Baer, however, has | lost to Paulino and Loughran and {has never shown any first-class call- | ber. Carnera is unspeakable. | Sek sie | JT IS interesting to speculate upon what the ballyhoo being heaped upon them means. Regarding the picture from the basis of the im- portance of their bout, even from the coign of vantage of the capi- talist press, it is easy to see that they do not deserve it. One may perhaps rely upon the existent be- lief that as Madison Sq. Garden goes so goes boxing. This is founded upon the fact that it was Madison Sq. Garden which led the game in its prosperous days. Madison Sq. Garden is now in rags as far as box- ing is concerned. The boys are evi- dently trying to lift it up. They would indeed like to see boxing return to its state before the crash, It was a luscious racket then. Baseball was one of the poorest fights be- | tween two outstanding heavyweights himself with the reflection that his ever seen and as poorly attended. It lost something around $40,000.
