When an attempt was made to re-open the Projects, hundreds of strikers massed in picket lines at the jobs. A score of scabs who were recruited were surrounded by 25 armed police, who broke up the picket lines. In addition to handing William Levine, youthful strike leader, over to armed thugs who took him to the Dakota line, beat him and left him on a lonely road, the police are instituting a reign of terror against all the strikers. Mass meetings are) broken up, and wholesale arrests are being made. . * 8 200 Strike In New Jersey RIDGEFIELD, N.

Samuel Insull, who plundered thousands of small in- vestors of their savings through his huge paper holding campanies, was sent to jail tonight, when he stated that he could not raise the $200,000 bail set by the Court. Insull, who claims poverty, has been traveling around the world in a private yacht, in his attempt to escape the indictments against him. It is rumored that Insull has been granted a private annual endow- ment by his Wall Street friends who were involved with him in the stock swindles. The usual “heart attack” trick was trundled out today, in an ef- fort to get Insull the special privi- leges of hospital care. The indictments against Insull do not touch any of his real crimes, nor do they implicate most of the important Wall Street bankers who were his accomplices in his pecula- tions.

Sends Poisonous Propaganda Magazine to Offi- cials in Washington; Jews, Liberals Omitted By JOSEPH FREEMAN WASHINGTON, D. C., May 8.— Official Nazi propaganda, poured by the Hitler governmert into the | United States, reached a new stage recently when it was shoved right under the nose of Congress itself. A select list of Representatives and Senators—a list from which known liberals, farmer-labor men and Jews were carefully excluded—have received complimentary copies of The American Tlustrated News, published in Berlin in the English language and openly addressed to Americans in a campaign to sell them the “new” Germany. This latest piece of Nazi propaganda boils with the usual epithets about Communists, Marxists, Bolsheviks and Jews. What distinguishes it from the flood of ordinary fascist ballyhoo is its official character It is addressed by members of the German government to members of the U. S. Congress. The American Illustrated News is Printers’ Strike in Paterson Is Solid; N.T.W.U. Gives Aid Chicago Compositors On Strike Too, for Higher Wages (Special to the Daily Worker) PATERSON, N. J., May 8—The printers’ strike is solid. Picketing goes on day and night and plans are being extended to secure mass boycott of the scab papers. The N. T. W. U. is throwing in its forces to support the strike. Big Six donated $83 and also sent in members to help picket. The Communist Party in Paterson just issued thousands of leaflets warn- ing strikers against National Labor Board arbitration schemes. It is urging more militancy on the picket line to help win the strike. The strikers have formed a Women’s Auxiliary of 40 members| to help picket and mobilize mass support.

The growing power of the Soviet Union forced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States. That was not to the liking of those who plot war inst the workers’ fatherland. The last straw to impede the furtherance of ROM their unsavory wa] a debts, closely intertwined these relations was the loathsome ith criminal Czarist finances, The decision recently rendered by United States Attorney General Cummings, falsely declaring the Soviet Union a “defaulter” because of refusal to recognize the Kerensky loans, was the latest provocation. Arrangements had already been made for extended U. S.-Soviet trade. The Import Bank had been established to facilitate this trade. Then, on April 14, Congress passed the Johnson Bill, providing that no government in default on its deb‘s to the United States could float loans or obtain credits. The Board of Trustees of the Export-Import Bank, through press- ure of powerful enemies of the So- world imperialist war front against the U. S. S. R., halted all negotia— tions for trade until the debt ques- tion was settled. The Soviet Union is now charged with the juggled Kerensky debt, the money loaned by the Wilson gov- ernment to the Provisional Russian government to carry on the Czarist aims in the world war. But before the Kerensky regime could misuse all of the $187,729,750, the Proletarian Dictatorship was established. On Nov. 7, 1917, all power was vested in the hands of the Soviets. What then became of this money? How was it used? On what ground does the Roosevelt government have the audacity to ask the Soviet gov- ernment to pay a loan that is so be- smired with filth, that was so scan- Roosevelt Rakes the Cesspool of Kerensky Loans New Orleans.

NOT ONE PENNY OF $187,000,000 REACHED THE SOVIET UNION; MONEY SPENT HERE TO FINANCE COUNTER-REVOLUTION Czarist and Kerensky scoundrels in| the United States? The Daily Worker, from evidence in court records, Senate hearings and through its private investiga- tion, is now able to give the real story of these loans and what actu- ally became of the money. On July 6, 1917, Kerensky’s am- bassador, Bakhmetiev, arranged for the loan of $187,729,750 that was to be used in the United States to pay J. P. Morgan & Co, and other bank- ers and munition manufacturers for | war supplies. While the Russian workers and | | peasants overthrew the Czar to ob-/ |tain peace, bread and land, Keren- sky, through Bakhmetiev and the | Czarist military attaches in his retinue in Washington were con-| niving with the American govern- the war for Czarist spoils andj|charged with the $110,000,000 that plunder. |Bakhmetiev swindled.

More Expected Out Longshoremen in Mobile, Ala., are expected to join the strike, as are the men in other gulf ports. Mean- while cargoes from the struck ports are being diverted to New Orleans, where they are unloaded and for- warded by freight. One hundred pickets at Corpus Christi, Texas, saw to it that no unloading went on there, while 200 employes of the Southern Pacific Steamship Co. at Houston decided not to interfere with the strikers. The longshoremen are watching Beaumont as the critical battle- ground. So far, the strike situation there seems to be in control of the longshoremen.
