The latest idea—if you can call it that—comes from a smart man named William Fellowes Morgan, Jr., Commissioner of Public Markets, Weights and Measures in the City of of New York. Mr. William Fellowes Morgan, Jr., has just come through with a plan to revive business at the Midtown Municipal Market under the Queensboro Bridge at 59th St. and First Ave. in New York, by means of music. These drastic measures are necessary, it is revealed, because only seven anxious tenants remain in this huge market which occu- Pies the space of an entire city block. And so, for the next four weeks, beginning today, a 36-piece band will be brought into action in an effort to stimulate business for the market. . * . Music To Suit Every Taste OT only will the band play stirring marches, languorous waltzes and peppy foxtrots, but it will also render two operas, Verdi's “Don | Pasquale” and Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” in concert form. What's shipping interests of the West Coast, amd opposing the present Strike with all their power, include connections in the highest citadels of Wall Street. The capitalists in- volved are among the most ruthless in the country and are tied in with exploiters in every part of the in- dustrial and financial world. These “big shots” in the camp |¥ of finance capital are directing the | exploitation of workers not only on the West Coast and on the docks and ships of that region. They are the very millionaires who draw tribute from the low wages and speed-up of the workers in count- | less companies here in the East and | in the Middle West. The war they now wage, with all the armed forces of the state, against the workers on the West Coast is, therefore, a war against the workers in prac- tically every state in this nation. Here are some of the outstanding TOM MOONEY more, numerous vocal recitals will be perpetrated by sopranos, contral- | tos, tenors, baritones, bassos—and, if there is time—high trebles. Justification for this ambitious program is found not only in the history of art, it appears, but in the history of commerce as weil. For Kept in Jail by Same Gang Which Are Fighting Coast Strike | In countries outside of the Soviet the sponsors of this orgy of music point out that the recent celebration of the 135th anniversary of Washington Market (which also included music) increased business there by almost 100 per cent. Just how large the increase was in terms of cash is not revealed. Naturally percent- ages are oftentimes deceptive. . . . Whetting the Appetite 'O INSURE stimulation of sales the sponsors of the concerts are not depending on music alone. C.W.A. artists assigned to the job have come through with stenciled pictures of fish, carrots, watermelons, pine- appies, bunches of grapes, ducks, geese, pigs, turkeys, guinea fowls, lobsters and other good things to eat. The man in charge of the cele- bration plans to have talks by dieticians, food specialists and well- known cooks, according to the detailed report in the New York Herald- Tribute. Among the exhibitors who have bought space is a specialist in fallen arches. His neighbor in an adjoining stand promises to serve iced-tea free. A Job for “Planners” W I think here’s a job for the “planners.” I suggest George Soule of the New Republic get together with Stuart Chase and the other economic internes who have been busy sticking adhesive tape on the rotting body of capitalism and figure out the method by which to make this music festival a success. Suppose, for example, an unemployed worker in Williamsburgh loves music passionately (even Verdi); say he attends the concerts by the 30-piece band at the Municipal Market Tegularly; say, moreover, that his appetite is greatly whetted by the stenciled pictures of the fish, carrots, watermelons, pineapples, bunches of grapes, ducks, geese, pigs, turkeys, guinea fowls and lobsters—what then? I mean, if I can make myself clear, that is to say, WHERE WILL HE GET THE MONEY TO BUY? * . . . The Address Is in the Phone Book A= THERE'S the rub! Lofty music, the beauty of food depicted on kitchen tapestries—but if the music lovers just don’t have the jack, how will they buy? Will there be any lectures to explain that part of the celebration? Don’t ask me; I don’t know, but maybe I'll write a polite note to Mr. William Fellowes Morgan, Jr., Commissioner of ‘Pub- lic Markets, Weights and Measures. While I’m writing to him, maybe Tl ask him whether he needs Verdi’s music and pictures of food to whet his own appetite at his home at 510 Park Ave., New York. If you don’t mind I. might also ask him whether he finds it necessary to call in dieticians to tell him how to make spinach go a long way. I have a hunch that Mr. Morgan, Jr., won’t reply, even to a columnist! * . . Ask W. F. Morgan, Jr. “IN TODAY’S column,” writes Judy Gerber of Brooklyn, “you write of ‘another testimonial to the New Deal,’ in which you tell of an un- employed worker dying of starvation. Apropos of that item, I came across a little pamphlet called ‘The Dome,’ issued by the Williams- burgh Savings Bank. I think it is a shame that our poor, unemployed friend could not have read therein the brilliant words of Prof. Inez M. Hobart, a nutrician specialist, who tells how a family can get along very well on $5 a week. Besides, comrade, where the hell does one get the $5 on which one can at least starve respectably?” . . . . More on Suicides POLICE reporter who is not typical sends me word that the sta- tistics I quoted the other day on attempted suicides were too con- servative. “I don’t know where your slot machine publication obtained its information,” writes Harry Kermit, “but the estimate that 56,000 persons were involved in attempts at suicide in this country in 1933 is far below the actual total. As a practicing newspaper man who has been checking the police reports for the past several years, I can tell you the figure was nearer to 200,000 suicide attempts in New York City alone. “Not one week passes in the city without the police slips showing at least five gas cases, attempted hangings, subway suicides or at- tempted suicides by shooting. Any New York police reporter will verify this statement for you. Unemployment is the cause in the majority of the cases. The frequency of these suicides has become so marked that they rarely appear in the daily press. And the police slips themselves do not tell the whole story. The unidentified bodies picked out of the East River, the ‘bums’ shipped to the public morgues and similar cases are merely tabbed ‘unsolved deaths.’ Even the suicide reports are them- selves minimized, for in many instances where a person takes his own life the police verdict describes the happening as an accident.” . . . . Obituary Note 'TRIKING workers on the Pacific Coast have by this time no doubt learned the sad news that President Roosevelt has lost his cherished Llewellyn setter pup, Winks. The report was broadcast yesterday by the United Press as gloom fell over the White House. The president, according to the newspapers, was appraised of Winks’ untimely demise by radio aboard the cruiser Houston. The presidential pup came to a bad end, it appears, as a result of keeping bad company. He was romping on the White House lawn with a bull pup belonging to a secret service man when he ran into an iron fence and died of concussion of the brain. With President Roosevelt already burdened with plans on how to break the general strike on the West Coast, it does seem like a bad streak of luck for him to lose his favorite pup. It is hard to under- stand how the “Brain Trust” which includes so many trained individuals could have neglected to keep a watching eye over Winks.

Only the main connection of the leading shipping lords are @iven in the following list: Herbert Fleishhacker is generally regarded as one of the leading fin- ance capitalists of the West Coast and the man most responsible for keeping Tom Mooney in prison. He is one of the big three in the Dol- lar, Dawson, Fleishhacker combine, which owns a half interest in the United States Lines Co. of Nevada, formed in 1931 to take over the U. S, Lines jointly with the Roosevelt- International Mercantile Marine Co. interests. He is a director of the Anglo California National Bank of San Francisco. He is a director of the Pacific Steamship Co. (Admiral Line), is president of the Central California Traction Co., director of the Columbia Steel Co., of the Pa- cific Portland Cement Co., and a Score of other companies. Along with Herbert goes his brother Mortimer Fleishhacker, di- rector and chairman of the Anglo California National Bank. Morti- mer is a trustee in the Calamba Sugar Estate (operating in the Philippine Islands) and director of the Pacific Steamship Co. The powerful Standard Oil Co. of Cali- fornia owns a substantial interest in the Fleishhacker’ bank. They are tied in through directorships in the Crown-Zellerbach Corp. and the Crown Willamette Co., lumber and paper corporations, Kenneth D. Dawson, referred to above, is president and director of the Pacific-Atlantic Steamship Co., a host of other steamship com-~- panies, and the Pacific-Portland Cement Co. He is a member of the Dollar-Dawson-Fleishhacker ¢om- bine. Kermit Roosevelt, who is presi- dent and director of the Roosevelt Steamship Co, (part of the Morgan International Mercantile Marine), is involved as a principal in what Forbes Magazine calls a “gigantic combination with the Dollar-Daw- son-Fleishhacker group from the Pacific Coast.” He represents more directly the eastern capitalist hold- ings in this combination. Elisha Walker, director of the In- ternational Mercantile Marine Co., is a recent partner of the banking Escape from the Nazis! The Sonnenburg Torture Camp v. Hitler, Goering, Goebbels Knew These Things 'HE day after the brutal incident with the Jews, the director of the camp took the train for Berlin. He is a certain Reschke or Reuschke. The purpose of his trip was to visit the home office in or- der to settle certain technical ques- tiops of jurisdiction in the camp. The same day it was learned that not long before a radio station at Moscow had broadcast a detailed account of the tortures of the Son- nenburg prisoners. This had nat- urally made a most disagreeable impression and the director was in- vited to confront the “calumnies” of Moscow with “the true facts.” These facts we learned from Nazis who became sympathetic towards us. In the meantime, the mistreat- ment of the Jews had brought about such a wave of public indignation among the inhabitants of the vil- lage and even among some of the Nazis, that it was now impossible to represent the facts as mere in- ventions of Moscow. Therefore, when the director got news of the torture of the two Jews and the outrage- committed upon the young- private detectives to the east wing and the cellar, so that they could later hush up the rumors concern- ing the affair. When he tried to enter the célls of the Jewish pris- oners the guard refused to let him in, saying that he had the strictest orders from the warden and from Bruening that no one, not even the director, was to visit these cells. All this was open talk in the camp. This naturally brought about a struggle between the two men for authority in Sonnenburg. Reschke again went to Berlin and made a detailed report to the Home Office of what was going on in the east wing, including the treatment of the young Jew, With the thought that his power at Sonnenburg would be thereby eugmente”, he made the same report to Minister Diehls, a ‘personal friend of Goering. He house of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. He is also director of the Diamond Match Co., Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corp., Tidewater Associated Oil Co., and the Petroleum Corp. of Amer- ica, of which latter he is also chair- man of the Executive Committee. Fred I. Kent is chairman of the Commerce and Marine Commission of the American Bankers Assn., and is @ director of the Bankers Trust Co, of New York City. The Weyerhaeuser syndicate, with | entensive shipping interests, is the largest of the lumber interests, ac- cording to Charlotte Todes in her book, Labor and Lumber. With two other owners, this syndicate con- trolled 11 per cent of the private timber in the country as far back as 1911. When Frederick Weyerhaeuser died in 1914 he left a fortune esti- mated at $300,000,000. R, M. Weyer- hhaeuser, in addition to being an officer and director in a number of lumber companies, was listed as a director of the Northern Pacific Railroad, a director of the First Na- tional Bank of Duluth and the First National Bank of St. Paul, Minn. He was listed by former Am- bassador Gerard as one of the 64 men who rule America. Philip A. S. Franklin is head of Morgan’s shipping trust, the Inter- national Mercantile Marine Co. He is president, director and chairman of the Executive Committee of the I, M. M. Co., and is, of course, an Official of its subsidiaries. Frank- lin is also a director of the National City Bank in New York City and chairman and director of the U.S. Lines Co., Nevada. ‘The Matson Navigation Co, is tied up with the Crocker First National Bank interests of San Francisco. The Crocker banking interests are connected with Pacific Gas and Electric, the dominant utility of California, which had so much to do with the framing of Mooney. Isthmian Steamship Co, is a sub- sidiary of Morgan’s U. 8S, Steel Corp. R. Stanley Dollar of San Fran- cisco is president of the United States Lines Co., referred to above. Dollar is president and director of the Dollar Steamship Co., succeed- ing his father, the late Captain Robert Dollar. The son is a no less ruthless exploiter of seamen and stevedores than his hard-boiled stressed the fact that a general pe- tition had arrived from the citi- zens of Sonnenburg, protesting against the screams emanating from the camp and the treatment of respectable young girls by the Nazis, who were accustomed to beat them on the street with dog straps. This information was the ace in the hand of Reschke with which he hoped to secure authority in Son- nenburg. We know from certain Nazi sources, that due to the alarming reports spread abroad, Hitler, Goe- ring and Goebbels, were fully in- formed of the occurrences in the camp. Conditions at the camp did not, however, improve for the prisoners. On the contrary, their treatment became more and more severe. Bruening retained all his authority, and the prisoners were told that if they divulged the slightest informa- tion concerning the camp they would be severely punished. There was the strictest possible supervi- sion, especially for the prisoners who did work outside, such as cleaning, farming, shopping, in or- der to avoid the possibility of un- censored letters passing through the mail. PaaS LLOWING the Jewish incident, the supervisor of the hospital proposed to the warden that every prisoner who in the future attempt- ed to commit suicide be punished with 14 days’ “hard arrest.” Bruen- ing accepted this proposition. Bruening himself went to Berlin this time to confer with Daluege, @ well-known Nazi and now chief of police. Following this visit, he intensified the torture of the pris- oners at Sonnenburg. In a confer- ence with his staff Bruening ex- plained to Hammel, Hohner and his aide Knochel that they were to act more prudently in the future and that nothing that took place at Sonnenburg was to be made public. After this, Hammel, a repulsive in- dividual, with a face of a degen- erate or an executioner, increased the length and the violence of the tortures. He took a particular pleas- ure in being present at the tortures, is a director of the American Ship | and Commerce Corp., and of the Guaranty Trust Co. of New York. He is also chairman of the Execu- tive Committee of the [Illinois Central. Railroad Co., Chairman of | the Board of the Union Pacific Railroad Co, and director of the Western Union Telggraph Co. Vincent Astor, one of the closest | friends of President Roosevelt, is a director of the International Mer- cantile Marine and of the U. S. j Lines, and is also tied up as a di- rector with some of the leading companies of Wall Street, such as the American Express Co., the Morgan-controlled Great Northern Railway, the Western Union, Chase National Bank of New York, and| the Chicago, St. Louis and New| Orleans Railroad.

The “new line of action” at Son- nenburg was put into practice by the transfer of the control of pris- oners to the superintendent of the hospital. More than ever before these prisoners who asked to be ad- mitted into the hospital were given the “forward march, . . . up—down . ” treatment. Many of these men had _ tuberculosis, kidney trouble, or had been wounded in the war. One young prisoner was first beaten until his head and shoul- ders were completely swollen. Then they pulled out the hair on both sides of his head, leaving only a small tuft in the middle. Around this they tied a red hair- ribbon. Thus attired he was forced to hop about until he fainted from exhaustion, while the Nazis roared with delight. The “new line of action” was further carried out by a close in- spection of the ill and aged pris- oners who had been exempted from military service. Dozens of these were obliged to participate in mili- tary drill with the others. A well- known physician, Dr. Erwin Muller, had helped some of the sick pris- oners to escape from the drills. This reached the ears of Bruening. Not long afterwards, this young man was frightfully persecuted because he had dared to show signs of merey. A few days before we had seen this merciful doctor, calm, cheerful, in good health, administering to the needs of the other prisoners; then we saw him being taken from the cellar to the court to do his “train- ing.” His face was pale as wax; one of his cheeks hung from the bone like a lump of bleeding meat; his throat was covered with red and blue welts. After the usual race around the courtyard in the crouch- ing position, the Nazis ordered him to put his thumbs under his arm- pits and to sing, “Poor little Hans must go into the wide, wide world alone.” Hundreds of the other pris- oners watched, their faces crimson with impotent fury. they have built up a good course in trade unionism. The class in Political Economy and the one in State and Revolution are very large. Many your people are in the latter. The class in Pub- lic Speaking has attracted many, | largely because of the need for speakers in the election campaign. The school is sponsoring a class for the International Labor Defense in Workers Self-Defense, anl also one for the League of Workers Theatres in Workers Dramatics. One encouraging thing is that many of the old students have at | the completion of the first term, en- | rolled in new courses. They realize the value of theoretical training much more after they have become students in the Workers School. Branch schools have also becn started, one for agricultural work- ers in the San Gabriel and San Fernando Valleys; for the oil and other workers in the Centinela Valley, and for the seamen and longshoremen in the harbor dis- trict.
