PAUL, Minn., Aug. 7—Unemployed workers will mass at the City Council here Friday, August 10, at 2 P. M., at a joint meeting with the City Council and Welfare Board. The jobless will present their program adopted at the July 11 conference held here, demanding a 40 per cent increase in direct relief, a public works program of low cost housing and improvements in working class Plant Crashes By HAROLD PREECE AUSTIN, Texa,s Aug. 7.— The rotting second floor of the Travis county relief cannery collapsed, hurling 8,000 pounds of canned beef on eighty workers who were working below. Two workers, Oscar | Stamnitz and E. D. Daugherty, ; Were instantly killed. Four others received injuries. | Under the weight of the cans, the upper story of the 40-year old building pulled away fom its joists. Until a few days ago only empty cans were placed on this floor. The callous indifference of the Travis county relief officials has resulted in the loss of these lives, with their families being left to starve neighborhoods, for a 30-hour week at union wages on all public works and relief jobs, against discrimina- tion of Negro and foreign-born workers, and for the enactment of the Wo:kers Unemployment Bill, The demands for single workers) ‘nd transient jobless in the flop} houses and camps call for sanitary conditions, three meals a day, and no forced labor. These demands were formulated at a united front conference held here on July 11, at which thirty-four delegates from twenty organizations representing 2,167 workers adopted @ unified plan of action. | Communist Party Acts Quickly Against K.K.K. TURTLE CREEK, Pa. Aug. 7— Reacting on the instant to a fascist terrorist move on the part of the discredited Ku Klux Klan, the Com- munist Party of Turtle Creek set a new record in District 5 when a Jeaflet denouncing the K. K. K. was distributed to the workers of the town within six hours after a K.K.K. flaming cross appeared on the hill- side here following an August Ist anti-war meeting. The open air meeting was held on the main street, at which local speakers exposed the growing fas- cism and war preparations of the New Deal, and called on the work- ers to organize against capitalist ssion, ifteen minutes after the meeting had concluded, a bomb was set off arby hillside and the flam- of the K.

Here's the latest flash of what’s going on | in many towns and cities where the drive for 20,000 new readers is first on the day-to-day political agenda. Fairmont, W. Va, Orlyn Truman, first Red Builder in that ter- ritory. Initial order, 25 papers. In Springfield, Ill., Unit B passed a decision to order 15 copies of the Saturday edition every week. They have the readers for the 15 copies, and they expect to develop more. They certainly must, if thy expect to do their part in the drive! It’s the Party units which are falling behind, In Concord, N. C., R. L. Whitley is developing a carrier route. He starts off with a bundle of five papers, but swears by J. P. Morgan's head that he'll sell many times that number before he’s through. We fear for Mr. Morgan. From Fallon, Nevada, a picture of a father’s revolutionary emotions. 0. M. Beeghly starts his boy selling the Daily Worker. “That’s the way to radicalize him,” he asserts. And Joe Horton of Milwaukee, Wis. gets a bundle of 15 papers every day. He is a Labor Defender agent and he is going to sell in the Negro district. In Boulder, Colo., Pat Herrara gets daily and Saturday bundles. He hopes to start a landslide circulation for the “Daily” that will sweep away all illusions about the boss press. | The Merrill, Wis., section has shown sad neglect heretofore in the drive but it has aroused itself. They have established a Red Builder, and gave an order for 100 copies for the special Saturday issue for August 1. a resolution that each unit must members of the Communist Party, taken into custody by National Guardsmen yesterday after they participated in the distribution of a leaflet calling upon the Thirty- Third Division Guardsmen to re- fuse riot duty, have not been seen since. The leaflet distributed among the Guardsmen was the recent Central Committee appeal which appeared in the Daily Worker. It was issued jointly by the Communist Party and the Young Communist League here. No sooner had the distribution begun than officers mobilized their men to arrest and beat up the dis- tributors. In the course of these arrests the two workers disappeared. While many guardsmen took part in the arrests and attacks, others assembled in groups on State St., read the leaflet and discussed it, many supporting its stand. Groups of men inside the National Guards have sent telegrams to Governor Floyd B. Olson in Minneapolis, de- manding the withdrawal of troops from the city and the release of 21 guardsmen arrested for refusing riot duty. A mass delegation is to visit Mayor Bloom today, demanding the release or information as to the whereabouts of these two workers. A protest mass meeting is being prepared for Saturday night at Black Hawk Park. General Strike Looms In Bathrobe Industry, Men To Meet Tonight NEW YORK—Workers employed in the manufacture of bathrobes, kimonos, pajamas and allied prod- ucts will discuss a general strike in the industry at a mass meeting to- night at the Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Place. The meeting is under the auspices of the Bathrobe Workers Industrial Union. The Manufacturers Association has refused to meet with the work- ers and the Code Authority has re- fused to revise the labor provisions of the code. The demands of the union in- clude the 35-hour week; minimum wage scale for every craft; equal pay for equal work; equal division of work during the slack period; pay for legal holidays; limitation of contractors; recognition of the union and shop committee elected by the workers of the shop. Louisiana Officers Fail To Press Lynch Probe SHREVEPORT, La., Aug. 7.—Re- fusing to make arrests or conduct an immediate investigation into the lynching last Friday of Grafton Page, 30-year-old Negro worker, local officials today set the stage for a bogus “investigation” two months hence, in October, before a Caddo Parish grand jury. Covering up the real perpetrators of the crime, officials persisted in their cock-and-bull story that Page was lynched by “other Negroes” who, strangely for a Southern com- munity, have not been arrested. Today, they added the unconvincing “explanation” that Page, together with a Negro girl, had been in an automobile wreck, that other Ne- groes coming upon the wreck and finding the girl unconscious from shock and injuries had jumped to the strange conclusion that the girl had been assaulted by Page while sts anise ane his car was “traveling at a high speed.” employed in the plant and from eye-witnesses. This is like trying @ case before a jury which fas rendered its verdict in advance, The dead workers narrowly missed being buried in the potter's field, the county relief officials pleading that their funds were “limited.” The indignation of the other cannery workers forced the state administration, also located here, to pay the funeral costs, County officials have announced that the crumbling building will not be abandoned, but that cannery operations will be resumed after a new second story has been built, Police Compel Boston Meeting Hall Owner To Bar Negro Group BOSTON, Aug. 6—In an attempt to prevent the holding of a mass trial on the brutal police murder of George Bordon, Negro janitor, Boston police have intimidated the owners of Ruggles Hall into break- ing their contract for Aug. 8 with the George Bordon branch of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. The hall is owned by the Knights of Pythias, a Negro fra- ternal organization, Leaflets were issued calling on the masses to pass judgment on the capitalist agents who murdered Bordon and subsequently white- washed the crime. Several days later, the L. 8. N. R. was informed it could not have the hall. - The L. 8. N. R., supported by many other militant organizations, is putting up a sharp fight against this attempt to muzzle protest and free speech. Telegrams have been sent to Mayor Mansfield of Boston, Governor Ely and Police Commis- sioner Hultman, protesting the po- lice action, A delegation was also sent to police headquarters, where, after a hectic discussion, the Com- missioner and his superintendent, noted for his brutality, tried to ab- solve the police of having a hand in the matter. 2,000 Fikermen Strike On Northwest Coast (Special to the Daily Worker) ANACORTES, Wash., Aug. 6.|— Two thousand fishermen are on strike here under the leadership of the Fishermen and Cannery Work- ers Industrial Union. The United States Marshal arrested National Secretary Emil Linden. Mass pro- test forced his release after six hours. The fishermen are striking against a thirty three per cent wage cut The strike is spreading to the can- neries. Stockyards Men Strike In Jersey City Plant JERSEY CITY, Aug. 7—One hundred and thirty-seven men walked out at the Jersey City stock- yards here at the foot of Sixth St. yesterday. The workers, who are members of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen's Union, are demanding a 40-hour week, a 10 per cent pay increase and union recognition.

Saved Capitalism, Austrian Socialist Leaders Boast) (Continued from Page 1) soul to retaining the useful part of the army as intact as possible. ., At that time it required the exer- cise of one’s whole: personally to appear before the troops, who were in open mutiny. Under-Secretary of State Dr. Waihs could tell you a great deal about what had to be done at that time, and what could only be done, because we drew the Social Democrats towards ourselves, kept them to our line, strained them from swinging to the ‘Left’ into the camp of Bolshevism. “Jodok Fink, is the man who brought about this great work of making the Social-Democratic Party useful for the fight against Bolshevism and the re-establish ment of Austria.” Kunschak hereby recognizes the services rendered by the Social Democracy in the fight against Bol-| shevism with an open-heartedness which Has been hitherto lacking. He recognizes here that which the So- cial Democracy itself has boosted as a merit, without, however, having hitherto found the desired recogni- tion, His account coincides almost literally with that given by Otto Bauer himself:— “The government at that time (1918 and 1919) was faced with the passionate demonstrations of the returned soldiers, unemployed, | war invalids, ete., time and again, It was faced with the people's | army filled with the spirit of the | proletarian revolution. . . , And the government had no means of authority at its disposal. Armed Power was no instrument against the proletarian masses, who were filled with revolutionary passions. + + + No bourgeois government could have carried through such a task. . . . Only Social Democrats could carry through this task of unexampled difficulty, | “, «+ Only by struggle within the Workers’ and Soldiers’ Coun- | cils was the advance of Bolshe- | vism repelled. The clear-sighted | leadership of Friedrich Adler within the Workers’ Councils and of Julius Deutsch and his asso- ciates in the Soldiers’ Councils decided the struggle.” Otto Bauer: “The Austrian Revolution,” pages 128-129, German edition.) The Austrian working class must | now bear the consequences of this | clear-sighted leadership of the, Social Democracy in the shape of| the clerical-fascist dictatorship of | Dollfuss and Starhemberg. The Social Democracy laid the | basis for this dictatorship, and not and re-| cunning of the leaders of the Christian Social Party, wrote, al- | ready in 1925, after he had made it clear that the Clericals by them- | selves would constitute a minority |in the National Council as against the Social-Democrats and Pan- | Germans. | “Consequently the Christian- Social Party had—in the interest | of the Cathelic and Conservative cause—to prevent the other two parties from ruling together against it, for the outbreak of a cultural struggle and the ousting of Catholics from public life, would have been scarcely avoid- able. The Party succeeded in do- ing this by first of all forming a government majority together | with the Social-Democrats.” (Ar- ticle ontitled: “The Christian- | Social Party of Austria” in the | “Staatslexikon.”) Against Revolution Social-Democratic policy was thus | neither socialist nor genuinely dem- |ocratic right from the days of the | Revolution. Otto Bauer, however, |ealls the coalition of Social-Dem- ocracy with the Christian-Socials— a coalition which even according to | the pronouncement of the bour- geoisie merely served to hinder Bol- shevism and Anti-Clericalism—a workers’ and peasants’ government. “A joint government of the workers and peasants was the only possible slogan . . , the co- operation of the workers with the peasants found its parliamentary expression in the coalition of So- | eial Democracy with the Chris- tian-Social Party.” (“The Aus- trian Revoluticn,” p. 129, German edition.) At the time the Social Democracy Jed the sympathies of masses for | the workers’ and peasants’ govern- |ment of Soviet Russia astray by} camouflaging its treacherous co- operation with the bourgeoisie as a workers’ and peasants’ government. Today this same Otto Bauer seeks to delude the workers into believing | that he will lead them to a “revo- lutionary dictatorship of the work- ing class.” By this means it is sought to render ineffective, once again, the urge of the working class toward the dictatorship of the proletariat, by using a radical- sounding slogan. Nevertheless, the Austrian proletariat will learn from its experiences and carry through the struggle along with the Commu- ; nist Party for the dictatorship of | the proletariat for a real workers’ |and peasants’ government, for So- | viet Austria. merely by its strangling of the, Proletarian Revolution.

All shop chairmen | National BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 7.— The Massachusetts State Federation of Labor opened its 49th annual con- | vention here on Aug. 6. There were lover 200 delegates, mostly officials of local unions. The report recommends that the convention go on record for unem- ployment insurance, which means the Wagner-Lewis Bill. Real unem- Ployment insurance, the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, is not mentioned. The Joint Council speaks about the N. R. A. and the “gains” made by the workers under it. They cover up the losses of the workers under the N. R. A. by blaming everything on “chiselers.” They conceal the fact that under the N. R. A. there is widespread un- employment, speed-up, high prices and low wages. On injunctions, the Joint Coun- cil proposes to fight only “unjus fiable” injunctions, leaving the door open to capitulate, and put up no fight against anti-picketing in- junctions. They give the impres- Sion that there are justifiable in- junctions against workers, The summary of the report} shows 21 new organizations affiliated since last year.

The Silver Shirts, an avowed fas- cist organization, have on its rolls, “members of the United States Navy, Marine Corps and the Cali- fornia National Guard,” the paper reveals, Continuing, states: “The avowed purpose of the Sil- ver Shirts and their auxiliary . . . is twofold: “First, they plan to use their armed strength to overcome the Communists. . . “Second: They are planning to remove all Jews from public office, including Henry Morgenthau, Sec- retary of the Treasury.” It is further charged by the paper that the Silver Shirts are drilling the “Examiner” range in sparsely settled land beyond El Cajon and La Mesa. Use of infantry weapons, military tactics and street fighting are being taught them. Furniture Workers Strike for Pay Rise And Jobless Insurance NEW YORK.—Two hundred and fifty men of twenty shops struck Monday morning for wage in- creases, 35-hour week, 2 per cent unemployment insurance from the boss and full recognition of the Metal Bed Section of the National Furniture Workers’ Industrial Union, the offices of which are at 812 Broadway. A tricky proposal, holding the! union responsible to stop manufac- turers from selling below the Man- ufacturers’ Association price list, was unanimously refused by the membership of the union. The N. R. A. was called in by the bosses, but the association itself backed out and did not come to the N. R. A. hearing when notified by the union that they will only make settle- ments by direct negotiations. The strike is spreading and the men are solid and enthusiastic. Last year, after one month of strike, the union won from 15 per cent to 40 per cent wage increases, but un- der shop agreements. This year} the men are determined to also win full recognition of the union, Win Release of Toblese Seized In Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH, Pa.

The meeting will be held Tuesday, Aug. 14. Howard, who has always posed as/ a liberal and whose chain professes @ pro-labor policy, has already in- dicated his attitude in a recent speech before the staff of the| World-Telegram in which he stated| that “any agreement acceptable to | the World-Telegram will have to be an agreement between employes and employer. It cannot be an agree- ment between the World-Telegram and non-employes.” Guild officers and members at- | tacked this as nothing other than a} company union proposal, at vari-} ance with Mr, Howard’s professions | of support to labor unionism. The Worid-Telegram unit of the Guild, meeting last week, voted} against any attempt of Howard to| turn the local guild chapter into a} company union. The right of the} Newspaper Guild to represent them was re-affirmed, every one present voting for, with only two absten- tions.

The local capitalist press tried to play up the demonstration as an expression of support for the Walmsley faction against Huey P. Long, but the speakers made it clear that they were not uniting with any faction of the capitalist class but against both sides in the demagogic dispute which is raging here for the right to loot the city treasury. Marching into an area that bristled with rifles and machine guns, the 5,000 demonstrators re ceived a striking intimation of the | real nature of the Walmsley-Long dispute. City police supporting the Walmsley faction stationed a ma- chine gun squad about the City Hall annex to protect their oppo- nents, the National Guardsmen, from the demonstrators. Philadelphia, Pa.
