About 200 of the men were fired yesterday. The remainder are to be fired -by the end of the month.

State militia have been called out and at least 15 troopers are ex- pected soon, Ten workers were arrested andj placed in the improvised jail on Seabrook’s ice-house, where they were kept for two and a half hours in a temperature six degrees below zero. The workers were blackjacked by imported thugs who rushed them to their houses on the farm, but the workers seized all implements available and returned the attack. When pickets were seized, the strikers formed special groups to liberate their fellow-strikers. Fight “Red Scare” The strike against the Seabrook Farms, the largest farms in the East are for the maintenance of a contract Seabrook, the owner, signed in April for a 30 cents an hour wage. Seabrook has an- nounced that he will restore the 7-15 cents an hour scale previously in force. The strike is led by the Agricultural and Cannery Indus- trial Workers Union, with Donald Henderson, Elinor Henderson, Viv- ian Dahl, playing prominent parts. All attempts of the rich farmers led by Seabrook to isolate the leaders from the strikers by vi- cious “red-baiting” propaganda have failed dismally. An elected Strike Committee of Fifteen is leading the strike, with Negro workers playing a leading role. Mass protest meetings will be held in Bridgeton this afternoon and tonight. . McGUFFEY, O., July 9.—Several hundred onion pickers working on the large farms here were at- tacked in pitched battle here by deputy sheriffs in the fourth day of their strike against the 10- cents an hour wage scale. These strikers are barefooted and live in the greatest poverty. Twenty-seven pickets were ar- rested. A burst of machine-gun fire was sent in the direction of a group of pickets, but thus far it is reported that none was hit.

Military Chiefs Assist Nazis Here (Continued from Page 1) This testimony was skipped over | very hastily by the committee. Forced to Join Nazis German workers employed by of- ficial German concerns in this country are compelled under threat of loss of jobs and loss of citizen- ship to become members of the Nazi “German Labor Front,” it was revealed by testimony given in ex- ecutive sessions in Washington but made public yesterday. Schroeder, general manager of the North Ger- man Lloyd who skipped back to Germany Saturday had admitted in executive session that Carl Men- sing, head of Hitler's “National La- bor Front” had issued these orders and that Schoeder had transmitted them to the Nazi organizations here. Schroeder admitted spendnig $600 a month to advertise the North German Lloyd in the Deutsches Zeitung, although that paper charged a much higher rate for ad- vertising his company than any} other newspaper did. He said he had received orders to spend this sum from Bremen, Germany. | Schroeder also said that Hans Luther, Nazi ambassador now in| Germany, had ordered him to pro- vide free passage to Germany for certain writers and newspapermen known to be sympathetic to the| Nazis. Those who were given free passage wefe Karl K. Kitchen, for- merly with the N. Y. Sun, Helen Appleton Reed, James Aswelt, Allan Cleaton, Colonel Alexander E. Powell and Burton Holmes, travel lecturer, Skips U. §.-Nazi Tie-Ups Evidence indicating tie-ups be- tween Nazi officials and any part of the U. S. government was totally disregarded, One of the Nazi wit- nesses, Paul Heinrich, a member of the Stahlhelm testified that the American Legion had invited his organization to march in the Inde- pendence Day parade, and that the Stahlhelm hed mrached carrying rifles. Representative Dickstein hastily moved to another point. “Were you carrying swastikas?” he asked. “No,” Heinrich replied. “But we have the swastika emblem in our headquarters. The swastika is rec- ognized by the U. S. government as part of the German flag.” “We won't go into that!” Dick- stein quickly replied and immedi- ately asked a question on some minor point. \ Heinrich further admitted that | the uniforms of his organization was sent here by the Nazis from Germany. Gissibl Testifies Fritz Gissibl, who one week ago was appointed leader of the Middle West branch of the Friends of New Germany, claimed that he had re- signed from the National Socialist Party of Germany, but could show no copy of his resignation or any other proof to show that he did resign. He claimed that he had ap- plied for United States citizenship. “When did you put your applica- tion in?” he was asked, “Er, this morning,” he replied. Gissibl’s testimony was full of contradictions. He kept lighting cig- arette as he nervously, but with an obvious effort to keep cool, an- swered the questions. Moley on Stand Earlier in the day Raymond Mo- ley, editor of “Today,” the Astor magazine that recently featured bit- ter attacks on Communists and militant workers, testified that “any organization with ideals like the Nazis are a menace.” The hearing will be resumed this morning at 10 a.m. The members of the investigating committee are Repesentative John H.

The F.S.U. urges all interested in Soviet poli- cies and developments to listen in regularly. Vilest Instrument of Capitalism men. These “noble” gentlemen car- ried out their bloody, cruel deeds in the name of the false notion of nordic supremacy. Fascism, which was ably aided to power by the leaders of social democracy, destroyed all the poli- tical and democratic rights of the working class of Germany. This it did also by the most brutal means, The trade union organizations were taken over and destroyed; it broke up the defense organizations of the workers; it hoped to crush the working class movement. It wanted most of all to behead Communism, It arrested the best leaders of the working class movement and sent thousands of them to concentration camps where they are defiled, tor- tured, beaten and murdered. But Hitler was unable to destroy Com- munism, despite the great aid ren- dered him by the social democratic leaders. As witness to this fact we can take the word of a good bour- geois journalist, who wrote in the New York Post a few days ago the following: “There is today no factory or shop and no company of Storm Troopers without a Communist or radical Socialist cell, Underground trade unions have been established all over the Reich, which regularly pub- lish illegal newspapers.” This bour- geois journalist goes on to say: “The anti-Hitler Front of the left is composed of the Communists, liberals and Socialists. It must be duly admitted that the Communist elements are dominant.” These successes are well known to us; they even have become so over- whelming that the bourgeois writ- ers are forced to give them the light of day. But it would be wrong for us to minimize the tremendous difficul- ties that still face the German Communist Party in this situation. Truly the basis for proletarian power is rapidly maturing. This wild Hitler fascist reaction was met by the great German Com- munist Party and its great leader, Ernst Thaelmann, who led until he was tracked down by the fascist bandits. Thaelmann is not oniy the conscious leader of the anti-fascist toxces in Germany, Thaelmann is a product of the international Com- munist movement. Thaelmann is.a leader of all the oppressed against fascism and against international capitalist - imperialism whether in Germany or in the far-away colo- nies of imperialism. As a longshoreman in Hamburg Thaelmann came in contact with Chinese, Indian and African sea- men, he knew all their problems as seamen; he understood their struggles for national independence in their own countries. Thaelmann raised high the banner of interne- tional solidarity, of the unity of German, English, Chinese, Indias and African seamen, Thaelmann Defended Scottsboro Boys In 1931 at Hamburg, Germany, 2 Great May Day demonstration was (Continued on Page 6) WILLIAM FUCHS All-Star Game VOLUPTIOUS spectacle +* Grounds today. will take place at the Polo If the newspapers are to be believed, it promises to be one of the most exhilarating spectacles since the Christians used to be th rown to the lions.

All throughout the afternoon police, under the direction of Cap- tain John J, Lang, patrolled the district to the pier. A police motor- cycle drove into the crowd, attempt- ing to move the pickets from the street. For hours the pickets, in a tre- mendous chant, shouted the slo- gans: “Don’t Scab,” “Strike,” “Don’t Unload the Scab Cargo!” Placards carried by the workers said: “Seamen of the Virginia, Don’t Scab!” “Refuse to Unload the S.S.
