Police and deputies have viciously tried to smash the truckers’ strike. Workers have been clubbed. Farmer-Labor Governor Floyd B. Olsen has threatened to call out the militia to be used as strike-breakers to man the trucks and to terrorize the strikers into submission. The building trades workers recognized full well that the concentrated energy applied by the bosses and their government | to smash the truckers’ strike was directed at all | organized workers. It was not just the case of the truckers getting a bitter licking, endangering their lives and their living conditions, but defeat for the truckers would be a blow to all workers. Hence the united, sympathy action; hence the advanced step of the American workers in the fight against the growing fascist measures of the gov- ernment against workers’ rights. | The workers everywhere, especially now in Ala- bama and the Pacific Coast, in their efforts to im- prove their conditions, meet with terrific blows of boss terror. The bosses hope by means of terror not only to defeat the present strikes, but to stem the | nist hoax,” that the whole story was fabricated out of whole cloth by the dastardly Communists We will not stop here to match our records of veracity as against that of the New Leader. We will merely quote the New Leader on the Severing in- cident, as reported in its issue of Saturday, May 19. “As to the alleged pension,” states Mark Khinoy, “the following appear to be the facts: When the Braun-Severing government was illegally overthrown and the Socialist minorities appealed to the highest Federal court, the semi- fascist von Papen government trumped-up charges against Severing for ‘misusing government funds’ —two million marks—and meanwhile attached his salary. Since even the Nazi courts had, after a lapse of over a year, to give up the stupid charge, SEVERING RECEIVED LAST JANUARY HIS BACK PAY.” (Emphasis ours.—Ed.) Let Socialist workers ponder this: The “stupid charge” that Torgler burned the Reichstag build- ing, now exposed as a lie before the entire world, this infamous accusation the Nazis have not yet admitted—and Torgler remains in a dungeon. Ernst Thaelmann receives his “back pay” in a very literal fashion—by lead-weighted cat-o-nine tails wielded by Nazi sadists expert in the art of flogging. Thousands of Socialist and Communist workers lie tortured and maimed in Dachau and the other Dachaus that dot Hitler’s Dritte Reiche. Scheer and Schmidt, leaders of the German Communist Party, were shot in the back. Dozens of workers have been beheaded by the fascist axe. But Herr Severing gets his “back pay” by deti- sion of the most just and wise Nazi court which has seen that it cannot defend a “stupid charge”! Thaelmann gets lashes; Severing gets pay. Tor- gler is re-arrested; the charges against Severing are dismissed. Moabit prison for Thaelmann; a sum- mer villa for Severing. Socialist workers! Ask yourselves: Why is this so? The answer is plain. Severing gets his back pay for services ren- dered. He gets his funds for his Judas work. His is the thirty pieces of silver for betraying the working class, for destroying the unity of the workers, for paralyzing the revolutionary will of sections of the German working class. Socialist workers should think deeply over the Severing incident and should judge the defenders of Severing in their true light—as the followers of Severing and his historical path, the path that leads to fascism.

The bank scandal ex- | pose was engineered by the more | reactionary elements in order to} |force the hand of Saito. At the| |same time, the nationalist societies are threatening a series of new as- sassinations of those who refuse to | drive the Japanese war plans to the | hilt and at the earliest moment. It was announced that General | Kazunairi Ugaki, the extremely re- actionary governor of Korea, was ming to Japan from Seoul on | May 28, with the avowed purpose | jof seeking the premiership. Ugaki favors the more open installation of a fascist dictatorship and an im- mediately development of all war plans. “«_. * | — KILL TH E B-R-R-AT 1” Burck Chaco War Raging Fiercely Under “ Peace” Camouflage BUENOS AIRES, May 21. — The Chaco war has reached its most savage stage, following the diplo- Regional Conference Called for May 25 by League Against War NEW YORK-—All organizations in| were massing their armed forces in | lower Manhattan are asked to send an effort to deliver a decisive blow in the war. two delegates to a Regional Con- ference of the American League On the World Front By HARRY GANNES Kidnapping Too Slow Korean Victims A Japanese Appeal IONNECTED with the Japa- nese embassy in Shanghai is a gunmen’s department.

At that time the Japanese war lords signed a solemn treaty recognizing the “absolute independence” of Korea. By 1910, the Japanese invaders eliminated all pretenses and swallowed Korea entire. Now Korea assumes tremendous importance, because all of the war plans of Japanese imperialism in- volve tying up Korea with strategic railway lines leading into Manchu- ria. In Korea, however, the work- ing and peasant masses are in- creasing their struggles against their murderous oppressor. Japan< ese imperialism tries to divert this struggle in many ways.

The result is violent race conflicts, by means of which the Japanese hope to stir up the astrous Chicago fire is to be found in the statement of Thomas J.

Where the terror is increasing, as in the state | of Washington, where the governor is preparing to call out the militia, and in Alabama, the organized workers should immediately put on the order of of business the question of the sympathy strike. The Minneapolis building trades workers’ sec- tion is an example that should be followed. All workers, whether they are immediately attacked or not, in this present campaign of terror must fight shoulder to shoulder, or a defeat will be an injury to all. This is a fight for the right to organize, for the right to picket and strike, and every worker should | use his organized power to preserve these rights. That can be done against the terror by sympathy strikes, by united actions of all workers against the terror, and for the rights of the striking workers. Support the Minneapolis strike!

Fight the terror everywhere by united action, by sympathy strikes, by rallying the workers behind the heroic strikers who are in the front lines in the battle for organization, for im- | evidence of any recent labor troubles.” This is, characteristically enough, the first official statement which follows a tragedy which left over 2,000 workers homeless, which threw men out of work and took from a host of workingclass families their last means of subsistence! The bosses of Chicago are not interested in this gripping human tragedy. To them the tragedy lies in the loss of $10,000,000 worth of property. This is the vile, barbaric sense of values which motivates capitalism! And even now, as the workers and their wives and children go about ragged, homeless, hungry, their few meager possessions destroyed, the Chicago millionaires who own the stockyards prepare new economic assaults upon the workers, new terrorism against their growing class militancy! They plan more vicious atacks upon the very men whose courage and heroism kept the huge stockyards fire from spreading, thereby preventing a repetition of the fire which levelled the Windy City to the ground in 1871, The workers made homeless by this fire should demand the right to live!

The La Follette group separates itself from the | “Old Guard” Republicans only in order to set | itself up as another of the barrie:§ designed to block the movement of the masses onto the path of revolutionary struggle against capitalism. The formation of the Progressive Party is it- self a symptom of the radicalization of the masses, of their growing desire to take the path of reyo- lutionary struggle for the Communist way out of the crisis. Essentially, the purpose of the LaFollette group is to prevent a working class revolution, to save capitalist exploitation. It is for this basic reason that the LaFollette group will inevitably and in- variably betray also the immediate interests of the workers, small farmers, the small shopkeepers and business men to whom it makes its appeal. Every daily fight of the masses, the fight for better wages, for Federal unemployment insurance to be paid for by the Government and the em- ployers, for cancellation of the mortgage debts that chain the impoverished farmer, will be sabotaged and blocked by the Progressive Party through one form of trickery or another. perilled slums, but in the modern houses which the landlords keep vacant because they cannot collect their exorbitant rents.

Speakers in English, German, Italian, and Jewish will be present.

The French and British police work hand in glove with the Japanese gunmen. At first the Japanese tried to kindap the Korean revo- lutionists, in order, to transport them to Seoul for “trial.” But this proved embarrassing, because it required bringing the victims te the rump courts in Shanghai. Kidnapping soon gave way to the good old-fashioned Al Capone tactics. Korean revolutionists are thrown into a Japanese car and taken for “a ride.” eae aS Communist Party of Japan, itself fighting against the most extreme terror, has called upon the Japanese workers to protest against this vicious slaughter of Korean workers.

Y. Please send me more information on the Commn- mist Party. | By PAUL GREEN oN April 23 the Banque des Co- operatives (Co-operative Bank) of Paris closed its doors. This bank and all of its affiliates and branches are controlled by Socialist and re- formist leaders. “Le Journal” and “Le Matin” re- port that one of the leaders of the group connected with this bank came to the government to ask for assistance. His name is Poisson. What price they will have to pay for the gvernment’s magnanimity we shall find out a little later. It is also reported in the same newspapers that a cabinet meeting was held and the Doumergue-Tar- dieu government delegated Finance Minister Germain-Martin “to get together the appreciative elements within that organization” in order to bring about the necessary “Le Journal” says the savings ac- counts amount to about 300,000,000 francs. The number of depositors is 110,000. Investments in banks, industries, aviation promotions, etc., are about 110,000,000, the collection of which is hardly likely to ma- terialize. Advances to different Co- operatives amount to 105,000,000; of this sum 35,000,000 have been lent to the Rhone Co-operative and the money is not recoverable, There is another 100,000,000 francs in depos- its in the provinces; and if the peo- ple grow more alarmed over this, which is likely, a run on those banks is most certainly imminent. Pig eked HAT reasons do the Socialist and reformist executives of the co-operatives offer for this crash? The general economic crisis is, of course, the first reason. The next in line, as Poisson, the reformist, had to admit, is the freezing of 90.000,000 francs in capitalist enter- war be used by them? Another cause is the withdrawal of deposits. Mr. Desfosses, former secretary to Gaston Levy, the ex- director of the bank, tells the L'Hu- manite, Communist newspaper, that. “like in any other credit establish- ment the withdrawal of deposits must have been sufficiently .im- portant at the beginning of the year, and especially on the day fol- lowing the Feb. 6 riots, to bring this condition of crash about.” Incidentally, “Le Matin” states that the Socialist Party, the Fed- eration functionaries and bther big investors had withdrawn their de- posits a few weeks in advance “be- cause they were on the inside.” So these reformist and Socialist lead- ers play the dirty game every- where. Secondly, according to their own statement, the depositors had gone to the banks to withdraw their de- posits immediately after the Feb. 6 members lost confidence in their leaders. Now, the reformist Poisson goes begging to the fascist supporting Tardieu - Doumergue government. What do these traitors of the work- ing class offer in return for the millions they expect to get from it? They are offering the property, the stocks and materials belonging to the Federation of Co-operatives, which is the sweat and blood of the French workers. That is not enough, for didn’t the government ask Finance Minister Germain- Martin to gather or choose the “ap- preciative elements” so that with their aid they could start a “coun- ter-revolutionary campaign amidst the rank and file members.
