Most significant in the 17th Anni-| versary of the October Revolution is the manner in which it has deep- ened the conviction in the minds of the world’s toilers that capital- ism is doomed, a leading editorial in yesterday's Pravda, central organ of the Communist Party of the | Soviet Union, emphasizes today. “In the last century, when Marx and Engels wrote their great mani- | festo om the liberation of mankind, Communism indeed haunted Eu- TAMMANY CONTROLLER IS ELECTED 7-Cent Fare Seen As Aim of Both Fusion And Tammany By Si Gerson Advisors of Joseph D.

In their re- tainer, both boys; describe, their action as final and as abrogating all papers they were induced to sign for Leibowitz, through coer- cion by Alabama authorities and deception by Negro misleaders. It was also pointed out to the management that the I. L. D. law- yers have already filed appeal papers with the U. S. Supreme Court and that printing of the appeal has been begun. Although confronted by the cottshoro mothers themselves, Mr. Weinstein hemmed and hawed and finally told the delegation he would hold the money in escrow until he decided to whom it should be turned over. The delegation then pointed to his advertisements that prominent persons would speak at the store on the Scottsboro defense during the sales. Ask who these “prominent persons” were, he re- fused to reveal their names, and rejected the delegation’s demand that the mothers of the Scotts- boro boys be permitted to speak. The mothers who visited the store were Mrs. Ida Norris, mother of Clarence Norris, and Mrs, Ada Wright and Mrs. Viola Montgom- ery. The delegation, sponsored by the National Scottsboro-Herndon Action Committee, was composed of the following persons, in addition to the three mothers, Samuel Pat- terson, Louise Thompson, Nate Bruce of the District I. L. D., Mike Walsh of the Harlem Section of the I. L. D., and Edward Kuntz, of the I. L. D. legal staff. The District I. L. D. yesterday declared that there is no doubt that Mr. Weinstein is co-operating with the forces led by Leibowitz, which are trying to disrupt the fight for the lives. and freedom of the boys. It urged all friends of the boys, in- dividuals and organizations, to make demands on the store that the sales percentage it has promised to the Scottsboro Fund be turned over to the L. I.

Supreme Court, Philadelphia Police Jail 3 Who Protest Gassing of Children (Special to the Daily Worker) HILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 7.— Swooping down on a mass meet- ing held to protest the gassing of John Sutko and his seven chil- dren in an attempted eviction, police here renewed their terrorist drive on the unemployed, and ar- rested three workers. The three arrested are John Sutko, charged with “atempting to kill a con- stable,” J. Bismark, Council organ- izer, now on bail following his arrest at a recent attempt to smash evic- tions, and Jennie Cooper, fiery young secretary of the Unemploy- ment Councils. Last week police smashed into the home of Sutko, an unemployed worker, and hurled tear gas bombs which severely gassed his seven young children. The police fled without evicting. At a mass mect- ing held later, Bismark was jailed. A delegation of 100 which will present relief demands to the City Council here Thursday, will lodge vigorous protests against the police attacks upon the jobless.

Sam Sheber, an active militant in the union, has been elected picket captain, Many of the workers have been out since the general strike, but the officials of the American Federation of Silk Workers (U.

Attempts yesterday to have the Executive Board of the broad silk department of the unions call a spe- cialmembership meeting to consider general strike action failed. The latter will therefore have to wait until the regular meeting on Sat- urday, Noy. 17. Delegates to the National Conven- tion of the American Federation of Silk Workers, to be held in New York on Nov. 24 and 25, will likewise be elected at that meeting.

C., Noy. 7.— A national conference for the dis- cussion of unemployment insurance to be held here on Nov. 14 and 15, was called yesterday by President Roosevelt's Committee on Economic Security. The conference will be opened by Roosevelt and addressd by William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and members of the Roosevelt Cabinet and relief administration, it was announced. Exclusive studies on unemploy- ment and social insurance, running all the way from health and mater- nity to unemployment insurance, have been “studied” by the Roose- velt committee. Its powers are strictly limited to mere » “studies” of the question, however, in prepa- ration for a landslide of ballyhoo and publicity early in December. In comment yesterday, William Green, who accepted an invitation to address the conference, said: “The personnel of the Committee on Economie Security, together with their technical board, is one from which labor may reasonably expect @ forward looking report.” While Green speaks of a “forward looking report,” it must be remembered that the committee can do nothing more than report on its studies. Repeating his past declarations for “State unemployment insur- ance” schemes as opposed to the Federal Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill, to which he is vio- lently opposed, and which he. has attacked as “unconstitutional,” Green added, “The role of State ac- tion has become clear. While the Federal Government cannot enact a national law, it can aid States by subsidies.” Green, who has zig-zagged from the most rabid opposition to unem- ployment in 1931, reflecting the stand taken on the question by then President Hoover, yesterday tuned his remarks to outbursts of approval of the entire set up of the Roosevelt Economic Security Com- mittee.

The meeting unanimously adopted resolutions for the defense of the Soviet Union and Soviet China, for relentless struggle against all bosses’ wars and against the State Massen- burg Jim Crow law and for the safety and freedom of the Scotts- boro boys. Enthusiastic applause greeted Mother Bloor, the main speaker, when she pointed to the success of the Communist Party in building the growing unity of Negro and white workers throughout the South. She was again loudly ap- plauded when she pictured the achievements of the proletarian dictatorship in the Soviet Union in completely wiping out unemploy- ment, and abolishing race hatred and prejudice and in the victorious building of Socialism, NEW DEAL PROMISES GET HEAVY VOTE Demagogy of Roosevelt | Again Delides Millions | of Voters Tndi¢ating the influence which gogy and N.R.A. trickery still wield, | the election returns yesterday re- | “New Deal.” The Democratic Party received the largest vote ever received in an | off-year election. | Both houses of Congress are |Democratic by better than two- | thirds majorities.
