Nazi Consul nie tats impor Says Communist Leader of Germany Is a “Murderer” 4 PICKETS JAILED Chicago, Boston Cops Help Nazis NEW YORK.—Under the pressure of hundreds of pro- test committees and thou- sands of protest messages de- manding the freedom of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the Communist Party of Ger- many, the Nazi consul of New York has been reduced to excusing his masters with abject, slimy lies, He dares not admit even to the cops Mayor La Guardia has given him to attempt to intimidate the workers’ delegations, that Thael- mann is to be “tried” in Berlin for his leadership of the millions of revolutionary workers of Germany, But he knows full well that the “trial” is to be a ghastly farce, with Thaelmann’s murder by the Nazi axeman already arranged for. The cops stationed in the con- sulate at 17 Battery Pl., asked the consul who was this man Thael- mann, whose imprisonment, and peril has aroused so many thou- sands of workers. “He is a murderer, and he is going to be executed,” was the consul’s answer, This is what the detective at the consulate told a delegation of the International Labor Defense and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights which came yesterday to pre- sent their demands for the release ef Theelme Cops Arrest Protesting Workers CHICAGO, June 11—Two anti- fascist workers were arrested to- day when delegations from dif- ferent organizations attempted. to register the protest of Chicago workers against the Nazi frame- up of Thaclmann Chicago cops were mobilized 50 strong to protect the representa- tive of the murderous Hitler re- gime from the annoyance of fac- ing committees protesting the ter- ror in Germany. Four members of a delegation sent from the Chicago Committee to aid the victims of German fas- cism managed to get through the police lines and present reso- lutions of protest to the Secretary of the Consul. The Consul him- self, cowering in his inner office, protected by detectives, sent word that he was not in, Two members of the delegation were driven out of the office build- ing during the interview. All other delegations were stopped on the street or in the lobby of the build- ing. Both arrests took place in these places and at least one worker was beaten, 2 ‘Arrested In Boston BOSTON, June 11.—Police to- day arrested Michaels, a worker, and Henry Lambert, a student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, while they were pick- eting.the Nazi Consulate demand- ing the release of Ernst Thael- mann, The picketing is continu- ing.

June 11— Twelve workers who were picket- ing in ,the Custom Tailors’ strike here, were found “guilty of block- ing the sidewalk” and sentenced to 15days in jail. This frame-up comes on the heels of a temporary in- junction obtained against picket- ing by Charles Levy and Son. The Needle Trades Indvetrial Union, L. A. Local, will continue the strike against this shop until the workers’ demands are won, in spite of the arrests last week. Needie Workers Picket Consulate NEW YORK.—The Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union will con- duct mass picketing all this week in front of the German Consulate, 17 Battery Place to demand that Ernst Thaelmann, German working class leader, be freed. Needle work- ers were urged to report to the union headquarters for pickting duty. The Consul refused to see a dele- gation of five workers that came to protest Thaelmann’s imprisonment. The secretary refused to accept a statement of demands. RR SS a Seattle Workers Demand “Free ’ Thaelmann!” SEATTLE, Wash. June 11.—A delegation elected at a mass meet- ing and demonstration against po- lice and national guard terror against workers in Seattle, Toledo, San Francisco and other cities, de- manded the immediate, safe release of Ernst Thaelmann from the Nazi consul here Friday. Participating in the demonstrations were the Communist Party, Inter- national Labor Defense, Marine Workers Industrial Union, Young Communist League and Fruit and Cannery Workers’ Industrial Union. S 1,200 Hear Browder And C.P. Candidates At Minneapolis Meet MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 11.—Twenty workers and farmers signed applications for the Com- munist Party after 1,200 crowded into the Gayety Theatre to hear Earl Browder, General Secretary of the Communist Party, speak on the strike struggles through- out the United States. The acceptance speeches of S. K. Davis and Alfred Tiala, Com- munist candidates for Governor and Senator, respectively, and of the other candidates on the ticket, were enthusiastically cheered. Cuban Youth Demand “Free Thaelmann” Barbusse Urges World Action at Paris Meeting HAVANA, June 11—The Young Communist League of Cuba staged a demonstration in front of the German Minister's home yesterday demanding the freedom of Ernst Thaelmann. They threw a bottle through a parlor window with a message reading: “We demand Thaelmann’s freedom!” Police were called but the workers left before | they came. The German Minister, Wilhelm Erythropel, complained that he had received more: than a score of mes- | sages recently demanding that the) Nazi government release Thaelmann and ciass war prisoners. Twice in the last two months workers have staged demonstrations on the Nazi legation in downtown Havana. * * . PARIS, June 11.—The Interna- tional Committee for the Libera- tion of Ernst Thaelmann has de-| cided to make the International | Thaelmann campaign a world-wide | mass action for Thaelmann to- gether with all the imprisoned anti-fascists in Germany, at a con- ference held here together with the International Juridicial Associa- tion, the World Committee Against War and Fascism, the World Com- mittee to Aid the Victims of Hitler | Fascism and other international or- | ganizations. Henri Barbusse presided, with Professor Lengevin of the Sorbonne, Count Michael Karolyi, Marcel Willard, Frances Jourdain and other world famous intellectuals. Barbusse, opening the discussion, stated: “The report of the Saar delega- tion indicates that Ernst Thael- mann, who today throughout the world is a symbol of courageous anti-fascist struggle, is in extraor- dinary danger. Together with Ernst Thaelmann all the other imprisoned anti-fascists are men- aced. A campaign of hatred against Thaelmann serves to in- crease the terror against all the others, while every new death sentence and every execution aids in the preparing of the death sentence against Thaelmann.” Barbusse proposed a very earnest appeal to all the Anti-Fascist or- ganizations of the world and to all international mass organizations to unite all anti-fascists for joint mass (Continued on Page 2) NAZI KILLED IN HUNGARY BUDAPEST, June 11. — Nazis clashed with the National Union Party here today and police inter- vened.

Thaelmann to Be USSR Takes| New Steps For Peace tance of Czech, Ru- manian Relations (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, June 10 (By Radio).— While preparations for war go on behind the scenes of the Geneva Conference, the Soviet Union pro- ceeds with its peace policy, and establishes diplomatic relations with Rumania and Czecho Slovakia. “Pravda,” official organ of the Com- munist Party of the Soviet Union, declares today: “This diplomatic act acquires par- ticular political importance in the tense and menacing situation which now exists in Europe. The Geneva ‘Disarmament’ Conference talks have so far shown regrettably little Promise toward the promotion of consolidation for the cause of peace, as their sad proceedings show. “The feverish race in armaments in all imperialist countries indicates that the stormy clouds of war dan- ger are increasingly lowering, not only over the Far East, but also over Europe. Against this back-| ground the fresh act of peace of the Soviet Union, which received its completion at Geneva, is one more link in the long chain of measures towards the consolidation of peace carried on. The establishment of diplomatic telations between the U.S.S.R. and Czechosiovakia and Rumania, takes one more trump out of the hands of those adventurously-minded ele- ments who do not cease their fight against the guaranteeing of secur- ity and the plotting of war machin- ations, Nevertheless, in spite of this, and in spite of the fact that in the course of many years, reactionary Czechoslovakian circles had violent- ly resisted the establishment of normal diplomatic relations with the U.S.S.R. it has been accom- Plished.

The union declared the bill “another crime committed in the name of | Americanism.” The bill was passed by the Senate and House last week. “Though the bill is based on the principle of political asylum,” the Union declared, “it ignored refugees from Fascist dictator- ships and others equally entitled to protection. . . . The action of Congress in favoring Russian Czarists violates our traditions.” Then the Union refers to the “crippling” of the bill by an amend- ment. The fact is, it was sponsored from the beginning by reactionary Senator Copeland of New York. In the debate in Congress, Rep- resentative Blanton of Texas, rabid red-baiter, and Representative Mc- Fadden of Pennsylvania, equally rabid anti-semite recently linked with Fascist organizations, appeared as chief sponsors. Banton ex- claimed the bill “gets after the Bol- sheviks of the country... .

O’Ryan, in line with the policy of the LaGuardia administration, tried to camouflage the utter inade- quacy of the relief given, and the rising protests of the unemployed, by repeating the charge that “the unemployed are exploited by Com- munist groups.” “Policemen,” he wrote, in a direct order for attacks on the un- employed, will use “all the force necessary.” Otherwise, “charges will be prepared against any officer of the department who fails to act promptly and effectively.” Not only this, but O’Ryan further revealed that the criminal assault of the police upon the unemployed demonstrators at the Department of Public Welfare, two weeks ago, had not been sufficiently violent. “We have already placed on trial,” he wrote, “several policemen for failure to use all the force at their disposal.” gram of struggle against monopoly capital and its N.

For two hours before the festival opened children from ten districts of the Soviet capital marched about the park. I had never seen so many children gath- ered in one place. They filled Green Theatre, which holds 20,000, and the near-by surroundings. The children of each school wore dif- ferent-colored berets, and when they were all assembled the com- bination of colors was magnificent | and gay. Bulganin Opens Festival Comrade Bulganin, chairman: of the Moscow Soviet, opened the festival. He congratulated the children on their work during the past year and urged them to greater efforts after the holidays. By contrasting the education in pre-revolutionary Russia, and in the Soviet Union now, Bulganin showed what Soviet power means in terms of education for chil- dren. Four hundred and six thou- sand children are now being edu- cated: in Moscow, compared with 100,000 prior to 1917. He paid glowing tribute to Stalin’s interest and work in education. The men- tion of Stalin brought tremendous applause from all those assembled. The greatest cheer of the day was given to Bubnov, Commissar of Education. As he walked to the microphone the children rose en| masse and cheered wildly for five minutes, clearly demonstrating the love of the children for the So- government. Bubnov con- gratulated the best scholars, and stressed the necessity of all chil-| dren to enjoy the holidays and use them to recuperate from win- | ter activities, and to continue their studies so that they might en- sure better successes for the next school year. In simple language he showed the necessity of the children of the land of the So- viets to become well-educated in order to be conscious builders of Socialism.

Cope’s Record The last important appearance steel industry, so far as our knowledge goes, was in the strike of some 5,000 workers of the Republic mill in Warren, Ohio, in 1932. At that time he joined with the reactionary Mike Tighe in an effort to drive the strikers back: to work and facilitate @ wage cut.

Although no infor- mation is available from official | sources, it is understood that the measure will be a broad declaration of the policy of arbitration in all labor disputes; in short, it will | bring out into the open the anti- in the first Wagner Bill, and will drop all demagogic collective-bar- gaining-protection camouflage that caused the big trusts to oppose the first Wagner Bill. | The plan is for Democratic Leader Robinson of Arkansas to introduce | the substitute measure in the Sen- | ate. In the very event of its being sponsored by Robinson, a reaction- | ary upon whom big business always has depended, there would be re- assurance to all employers.

This, furthermore, would make it virtually imperative for all | | Democrats to line up for the bill, On Greased Ways Whether Wagner would continue to support it in the form it is now reported to be in, his friends de- clined to predict. Whether or not | he does, however, it would slide through Congress like a ship down the ways. General Johnson and Richberg spent almost all today perfecting it. It is believed also that Wagner is proposing to Roosevelt a White House conference with steel union representatives. He promised the A. A. Convention committee to get them one, last week, but it didn’t materialize, the President maintain- ing his posture of remaining outside the conflict. There is more than a possibility that he may agree to step in—officially. He has been in touch with every step, by telephone, | from the beginning. Milk Price Rises _ Another Cent; Big Monopolies Profit Farmers ‘and Consum-) ers Gouged by State and Big Companies NEW YORK.—The price of milk rose another cent today. according to the orders of the Milk Control Commission. This will take an extra $35,000 a day from the families of the city. Most of it goes, despite all the pub- licity of the State Board and the milk monopolies to the contrary, to increase the profits of the Borden and Sheffield Milk Companies. The farmers will get very little of the increase. In addition, it will further restrict their market thru reducing consumption. The average farm producer gets little more than two cents a quart.

The effect of these price rises, resulting from Roosevelt's acre- age-reducing program, the N.R.A. price-fixing, and inflation meas- ures, is to cause a pay cut in the envelope of every worker in the country amounting to at least 17 per cent in the last twelve months. 1,000 at Pier Greet Coast | Dock Strike Pickets Storin Dock to} Halt Seabs in San Pedro NEW YORK.- -Flanked by | a heavy cordon of police, one thousand seamen, longshore- }men and workers from the! shore industries demonstrated | their solidarity with the strik- | ing West Coast longshoremen | yesterday before the piers of the) American Hawaiian Steamship Co. at 41st Street and First Ave., Bklyn. | Carrying placards and banners calling on longshoremen to support the strike on the West Coast by refusing to handle cargo assigned to or from the Pacific ports, mem- bers of theg@Marine Workers Indus- trial Union and the International Longshoremen’s Association arrived at the American Hawaiian piers at noon.
