NESOTA WORKERS FILE | TICKET | MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 31.—| Edward ©. Bowman, the fighting| farmer of Bagley, Minn., is the| Communist Party candidate for the Minnesota State Legislature in the 65th District. The election takes place on June 18th. The Communist Party made an exception and filed Bowman al- though all over the rest of the state no candidates are filed. This is be-/| cause all those voting in the pri- maries would not have a chance to} sign the petition for filing the state candidates. But the possibility of electing the fighting Edward Bow- man to State Legislature made the exception necessary. So while the Communist Party | appeals to all workers and farm- ers to stay away from the primaries on June 18 and not to vote for the bosses’ parties, workers and farm- ers in 65th legislative district were called to come out and vote for “Edward C. Bowman and elect him as the first Communist to the Min- | nesota State Legislature. MIN’ Chicago Meet to Hit | Boss Terror Today.

A delegation of teachers and stu- dents will call on La Guardia to- morrow at 11 a.m. to voice their protests. In the letter to La Guar- dia, notifying him of the delega- tion, the Save Our Schools Com- mittee brings him face to face with his campaign promises on education and' reminds him that to close the schools means “a direct denial of youth.” The League has urged all teach- ers and students to immediately set up local Save Our Schools Commit- tees in every school. It urges all in- dividuals and organizations to sup- port the conference tonight and to protest the retrenchment by letters, petitions and resolutions.

The National Council has voted that membership in this commit- tee is incompatible with membership in the Labor Party. This decision of the British sec- tion of the Second International is open aid to Hitler fascism—a dis- graceful act that must be pilloried before all the anti-fascists of the world. 17 Pickets on Trial Today; Workers Urged Defend Right To Picket BROOKLYN.—Seventeen pickets. | many of them women, who were! arrested on May 2nd _ while pick-| eting Dorian’s Beauty Parlor at 296 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, will be tried today at 10 a. m. in Brooklyn!

F. of L. Federal Union, when they appeared at the Na- tional Youth Day demonstration yesterday in Times Sq. Each of the strikers got an ovation as he was introduced and said a few words. Dick Miller, speaking for the entire delegation, made a fight- ing speech, interrupted by bursts | of applause. He said the Toledo strikers wouldn’t accept any} form of arbitration because they had been fooled once. ‘We don't | want any arbitration,” he said,/ “or mediation; we want direct negotiations with men sitting on that committee from every de- partment.” He showed how strong was the support of the people of To- ledo by telling how residents of sections where fighting was go- ing on had used a ruse to save him from arrest. Miller thanked | the workers of Detroit and said he glad the Communist Party and Unemployment Coun- cils were on the job. He called for support of all workers to the was | Toledo struggle. “A general strike will help us win,” he said, “and the boys will be ready for it Saturday morning.” Twenty-five dollars were raised for the Toledo strikers and sent with the strikers’ dele- gation. A letter of greetings was also sent from the Detroit con- ference in defense of workers’ rights, signed by Elizabeth Mar- tin, secretary, and William Weinstone, district organizer, Communist Party. A second workers’ delegation from Detroit is leaving for Toledo tomorrow morning to bring _ solidarity greetings and investigate the terror. The first delegation left Tuesday night. NRA.

Hundreds of thou- sands of workers in other indus- tries, such as the captive mine workers employed by the steel trust, have told us they will strike with us. In comparison to the steel strike the present strike in Toledo, Ohio, involving only a few plants and a few thousand workers, will be insignificant. “There is only one way to avert this strike—for the Presi- dent to invite the directors of the American Iron and Steel In- stitute (Industry Code Author- ity) to the White House for a conference with the Amalgamated Association in order to obtain Association with Section 7-(a) of the Recovery Act and Ar- ticle IV, Section 1, of the Steel Code. “If the President refuses to call this conference with the American Iron and Steel Insti- tute, it means bloody war, and we suggest that the President follow his recent action in the Chaco affair and embargo the sale of poison gas and arms and other types of munitions to the company’s hired _ soldiers. unions will accept that embargo gladly.” Discussing the changes made in the code, the union statement added: “We asked for the 30-hour week in order to relieve the ter- vible ravages among employes of the steel in- dustry.

The strikers demand the rein- statement of four men who were fired for union activity. ee Philadelphia Seamen Stop Ship With Scab Crew (Special to the Daily Worker) PHILADELPHIA, May 30.—Mili- tant action of the Workers Indus- trial Union prevented the captain of the S. S. Ulysses from shipping a scab crew here, and the Atlantic Refining Company cancelled his charter to haul oil for them. The ship is tied up at the Point Breeze Pier of the company, and will prob- ably be unable to ship a crew to take her out. The seamen have demanded that the steamboat inspector take im- mediate action against her captain, for leaving her striking crew be- hind and sailing shorthanded, en- dangering the lives of the scabs on board as well as navigation gen- erally. The inspector has failed to take action yet, and the men are planning to press their demands.

Richard Farber, chairman of the American League Against War and Fascism in this district, and Sylvia | Sachs, chairman of the demonstra- tion, were among them.

The others were arrested | while they were on the way to the | police station. | The trial will be held tomorrow. | All workers and workers organiza- | tions are urged to send telegrams of | protest to Mayor Beach of Hartford, | demanding the immediate release of | those arrested. | Terror Used by Police |In Union City, N. J. | UNION CITY, N. J., May 30.— A scheduled mass meeting at Brick- layers Hall, before the National Youth Day parade here, was broken up by police and firemen, and three Persons were clubbed and arrested, one being seriously injured, in the terroristic tactics used by the police today to prevent the N.Y.D, demon- stration in this city. They succeeded in their object. Communist Party headquarters were watched all day and the city was patrolled from one end to the other, in search of Communists. Workers and students coming in from Bayonne to take part in the parade, were driven from the city. This was the culmination of the campaign waged by police, leaders of the American Legion, the Elks and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, since the announcement of the dem- onstration, In the beginning a per- mit was granted, but two days ago it was revoked. Since the demon- stration was announced these soci- eties have been engaged in con- tinual meetings advocating violence on Communists. Stink bombs have been thrown into Communist head- quarters. The other day a notice bearing a skull and crossbones was sneaked on the Communist Party headquarters wall. “Get out of Union City in 24 hours,” it stated, “—or Death!” Pulses eer 3,000 Turn Out in Cleveland Meet (Special to the Daily Worker) CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 30.— About 3,000 workers assembled at Public Sq. in Cleveland today in a militant anti-war demonstration called by the Y¥.C.L. for National Youth Day. Marches from three points were organized and the work- ers cheered enthusiastically as the lorful parades, with red banners, signs and posters, reached the Square, Irving Herman, Y.C.L. District Organizer, acted as chairman of the meeting. Frank Rogers, organizer of the S.M.W.LU,, spoke and was followed by Comrade Murphy, rep- resenting the Communist Party, and Joe Stevens, section organizer of the Y.C.L. The workers cheered wildly for resolutions to be sent to the To- ledo strikers pledging their support, and another sent to Governor White of Ohio, holding him per- sonally responsible for the murder of two Toledo workers and the wounding of many others by the Ohio National Guard and demand- ing the immediate removal of the guardsmen. Other resolutions demanding the freedom of the Scottsboro boys and of Angelo Herndon were passed. and another sent to the Mayor against proposed cuts in the budget for recreation, were also adopted. Affair Saturday To Help Harlem Section NEW YORK—In aid of the fi- nancial drive of the Harlem Section of the Communist Party, Unit No. 418 of that section is staging a con- cert and dance Saturday night at Esthonian Hall, 27 West 115th St. A.0.P.E.E.

We who are living, we cannot con- Secrate—we cannot dedicate—we cannot hallow their ground. They have consecrated it—they have dedi- cated it—they have hallowed it —and our fathers take from this in- creased devotion. “Four score and seven years ago, the principles of Lincoln and Washington and Jef- -ferson, the faith of the founding fathers, the fundamentals of our constitution, the New Deal.” . .

On Memo- rial Day the course of human events, in addition to hallowing, dedicating and consecrating, tests whether any ball club, conceived with devotion and resolve, can find a final resting place in the proper division. On Memorial Day, the largest crowd of the year, dedicates, consecrates and hallows the horse races. At Bel- mont track, the day before yester- day, the largest crowd in ten years paid admission. On Memorial Day tennis matches become patriotic ex- ercises and the Star Spangled Ban- ner dedicates, consecrates and hal- lows balls and racquets. On this Memorial Day a crowd of 150,000 watched the auto races. On Memo- rial Day the afternoon papers are not published, for it is beyond our power either to add or detract.

The Giants took second place and the Yankees broke even. But no one mentioned the scores to the dead who died on the battlefield. The games were over after the dead had been dedi- cated and hallowed. However, it might have been possible te give the boys under the sod the results of the first games. But perhaps the generals and our other fathers were thinking only of the solemnity of the occasion. On solemn occasion, we do not think of baseball scores. We do not think of chorus girls. We do not think of automobile rides into the country. We dedicate, we hallow, we consecrate. Bice oe EVENTY thousand customers turned out to hallow the Yan~- kees. Who can doubt but that these seventy thousand people would not rather have died on the battlefield and been hallowed by the hallowers on the reviewing stands? One can be sure that their thoughts were on the boys in blue and gray and khaki who had fought for the Union and the Confederacy, who had gone to Cuba.» and who had sailed to France, all to be hallowed. Earl Whitehill pitched a one-hit, shut-out game, and he was hallowed on the sports pages yesterday; but who can doubt that he would not have felt better if he had died on the battlefield and Fiorello had placed a wreath on his grave? The boys in the Civil War were hallowed by Abe; Teddy hallowed the boys of San Juan; Woodrow hallowed the A. E. F.; and Franklin is looking to hallow those who die on the bat- tlefield in his time. Why shouldn't he have something of his own to hallow? * Baseball GAMES YESTERDAY NATIONAL LEAGUE New York 000 100 010-2 10 9 Brooklyn 000 900 60x—6 10 0 Schumacher, Castlaman and Mancuso; Benge and Sukeforth. pittsburgh 301 000 001-5 14 1 Shicago 302 030 12x—11 12 2 Swift, Smith, Harris and Grace; Bush end Hartnett. 3t.
