DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1934 Page 5 | CHANGE | | —-THE— WORLD! ————. By MICHAEL GOLD ITH every agency of information rigidly guarded and censored by the Nazis, it is only on occasions of great ‘landals, or great battles that events succeed in breaking wn. the barriers of lies and propaganda that pour out the German Foreign Office. Yet, day after day, the struggle continues. Though the Commu- st Pariy has been driven underground, still it continues its tasks, PW. infinitely more dangerous, with a heroism unmatched in the story of the class struggle. Fearful terror hangs over Germany. trocity is a commonplace. Deaths in the concentration camps, in the »rture chambers of the Brown barracks, while “trying to escape,” none : these resources of a desperate and insane ruling class has succeeded 1 breaking the spirit of the Communists, From Franz Weiskopf we glimpse a few instances of the heroism, ‘ae self-sacrifice, and the ingenuity of the German workers. Weiskopf as collected some of the deeds of the everyday struggle, small, obscure cts of resistance whith testify to the spirit of the German working lass, They are collected in a little yolume, published in German, called “The Stronger.” Here are two.of these little, brilliantly illuminative stories from Weiskopf. ‘he Substitute Has ONE of the hell-chambers of the Brown barracks, the Nazis suc- ceeded in torturing out of a prisoner the hiding place of a prominent organizer who was conducting serious underground work for the Party. The Nazis raided the cellar, and captured the organizer. During the fighting he was seriously wounded. They dragged him to a prison hospital, where in the crowded wards men and women recently tortured, moaned. But all the beds were full, all the cots taken. From there, they dragged him to the public clinic which adjoined the hospital and threw him into an operating room already filled with bloody prisoners and workers who had just been through a Nazi “exam- ination.” The organizer would not reveal who he was, but the prisoners questioning the guard found out his name and importance They also found out that he was going to be taken to the storm troop barracks “General Papesttasse.” This was a dreaded Nazi dungeon from which no prisoner, who went in, ever came out alive. Among themselves, the comrades decided that the organizer must. escape. But he refused, fearing that if he did escape, the rest would be brutally tortured in punishment by the Nazis, But they convinced him, and finally, giving him all the money they had and a few. pieces of clothing, pushed him out of the operating Toom, He had barely time to get out of the building and across the street, when a troop of 8. A. men came into the operating room. ‘They shouted for the “newly captured jackass,” for whom, they bragged, they had the funeral hearse waiting outside. Before, however, the storm troop leader could get to the empty bed and become suspicious, a young worker from Neukoelln, whose shoulders had been broken during his “examination,” leaped up and cried out, “Here!” They gave him no time to gather his belongings—he wouldn’t need them where he was going—but dragged him out by the arms into the corridor. . , The other comrades crowded to the window. They saw him marched away, pale, but with a tight grim smile on his lips. And before they threw him into the waiting lorry, he turned to them, smiled ence more, and lifted his fist in a clenched parting salute, A week later the young worker's corpse was returned in a sealed coffin, But on the same day, however, the organizer, who escaped, re- covered enough, to begin once more his work as an underground organizer. The Red Flag N THE 7th of November, the Anniversary of the October Revolution, there was discovered waving above the chimney of a deserted mar- garine factory near R...., a red flag with a hammer and sickle. This town was known as a Commanist “nest.” The msn of the village were herded together by the S. S. troops, the Nazi blackshirts, and beaten, because they refused to reveal who had placed the flag on the chimney, until the ground was red with blood. And then the women of the village, who had been forced to witness the beatings, were made to tend their men until the lorries came to take them away to the barracks, The next day, the 8. S. commander came again to the village ‘There were no men left, only the women and children. : But once more, above the chimney of the margarine factory waved jand a brutal 8 Red flag. The 8. S. leader cursed, and commanded a youngster to climb the chimney and drag down that “red rag.” And while the boy was climbing a pointed gun, commanded the women to sing the “Horst Wessel Song,” the Nazi anthem. The women sang. But when the boy came down with the flag, it proved to be not a flag at all—not red, but rust-colored, dark-brown, and dark-spotted, And not a flag, but a towel—a towel dried and spotted and stained with the blood of the wounds of the men of the day before, Of the men, two died in the hospital, and two were shot “trying to escape.” the chimney, the S. S. leader, with Jose Iturbi Recital In 1929 Jose Iturbi, Spanish pianist, first played in America. He intrigued New York audiences in that and succeeding seasons with programs usually of Mozart, Schu- mann, Brahms, Ravel and De Falla. For these works his admirable con- trol of piano dynamics and clear tone, incisive or melting, as the mood demands, have served very well. But the loftiness and inten- sity necessary to the works of Becthoven, for example, are lack- ing. So again, last Saturday night, Iturbi opened his New York season at Carnegie Hall (under the aus- pices of Hadassah, the Zionist women’s auxiliary) with the deli-' WORLD of MUSIC cate Mozart A major sonata, the Etudes Symphoniques of Schumann (east interesting of his -piano works) and shorter pieces of Brahms, Debussy and De Falla, Such programs may serve very; well as after-dinner interlude for the daughters of Hadassah; but working-class audiences are aware By LUCILLE PERRY Director Colonial Dept., I. L. D. December 19, 1934, marked the 26th anniversary of the most blood- thirsty dictatorship in all Latin America, that of Juan Vincente Go- mez in Venezuela. This dictatorship, which the American capitalist press likes to refer to as “benevolent” (to American imperialism), has resulted in untold suffering for the Venez- uelan masses prison regime that is scarcely surpassed by that of the Kuo- mintang in China. One need only breathé a word against Gom ez or simply look “dangerous” in order to be rounded up, thrown into prison without benefit of trial, sub- jected to torture and finally set to work at forced labor on the roads needed by American imperialism and the native rulers, Practically all the political prisoners are “se- cuestrados” (kidnapped), the term applied to those who are impris- oned without any sort of legal pro- ceedings. Once in jail, they are beaten, tortured, starved, robbed and, because of the incredibly vile conditions, fall prey to serious ill- ness and frequently death. The largest of the Venezuelan General Gomez erto Cabello and Castillo Liber- tador (Liberator Castle!) are dun- geons that were inherited from the days of Spanish rule. These dank, unsanitary dungeons form a fitting background for a prison regime of medieval barbarity. The governors and wardens of the prisons are bound by no rules of Auman de- cency, but torture and exploit the prisoners according to their whim, Prisoners in Chains La Rotunda is typical of the pris- ons throughout Venezuela. All the “kidnapped” prisoners in this jail wear irons weighing from 20 to 75 pounds that are never removed ex- cept to be substituted by heavier irons for punishment. The prison- ers sleep, eat and work at forced ' labor on the roads catrying their heavy burden of iron. At night the clanging of the irons of the pris- oners as they walk to the pails which serve as latrines, or as they turn in the cramped spaces alloted | Political Prisoners Are Starved, Robbed and Tortured in Gomez’s Jails, Often Leading | to Insanity. and Death them, makes more than brief snatches of sleep impossible in the cells. Sometimes the prisoners at- tempt to loosen their chains a little to ease the pain, but this is a dangerous practice, as a guard tests the irons every day with a heavy hammer. The governor of La Rotunda has placed a hardened, long-term crim- inal in charge of each department | as head prisoner. The maintenance of discipline resis in the hands of these criminals, who are invested with complete authority for admin- istering punishment. For the slight- | est infraction of the prison rules, or simply because he is disliked by the head prisoner, a “political” can be mercilessly beaten. The head prisoner takes advantage of the fact that he is in charge of the rations to bargain with the prison- ers, taking clothes from the hungry prisoners in exchange for a few extra beans in their rations. Except for the prisoners who can afford to buy food at the prison store, the prison ration means slow starvation. The usual diet consists of a few green bananas or a few beans, For punishment the prison- ers are sometimes denied any food at all for days at a time. Prisoners are given no food for two and fre- quently five days upon entering the risons, La Rotunda at Caracas, | jail, Disease Rampant As a result of the bad food, re- stricted rations and lack of pure water, practically none of the “kid- napped” escapes dysentery, tuber- culosis or epilepsy. A list of the prisoners and their ailments reads like a hospital register. Of thirty political prisoners confined in La Rotunda’s dungeon No. 3, a space 6 by 8 meters, fifteen were seriously ill in October and practically all the others were suffering from some kind of disease. Within one year, a nineteen year old boy had been afflicted with dysentery, epilepsy and tuberculosis, In February, 1934, Manuel Maldonado, a prisoner who had been confined in dungeon No.3 for about two years, died after having 31 attacks of epilepsy within |48 hours. In spite of the protests of his companions, no medical at- tention was given him. Medicine is systematically denied | his regime, but he fails to mention |Gispenses the medicine and other the prisoners. Funds are provided for this purpose in the municipal budget, but they are robbed by the governor and warden of the prison. The prisoners must buy their medi- cine, even if it has been sent them by their families, at a store main- tained by the warden, where he gifts sent by relatives at prices ranging anywhere from 100 to 300 per cent above those prevailing out- side. The “kidnapped” see the sun only when they are sent to work on the roads, and light and air is usually restricted to that which seeps in | through cracks around the windows or the door of the cells. | Ghastly Tortures For “insubordination,” which can be almost anything, and as a means of extracting confessions, the most fiendish tortures are inflicted on the prisoners. One of the most brutal of these is called “knotted cord in the stomach.’ To effect this tor- ture, the prisoner is first beaten to @ pulp, his clothing is removed and two parallel incisions are made in his stomach. The skin is then raised and a knotted cord passed under it from one incision to the other. A guard then grips each end of the cord, which is pulled back and forth through the incision while the flesh becomes entangled in the knots, Another torture is the “tortol,” which consists in placing a knotted cord around the head of the victim at the height of the cheek-bone and slowly tightening it, The knots sink slowly into the flesh, producing intense pain and the ears of the victim are torn to pieces. Some die under the agony. Others emerge with disordered minds. “The iron hat” torture practically always results in death. It is accomplished with an iron helmet fitted with turnscrews that can be tightened simultaneously. Other widely used torture meth- ods consist in hanging prisoners by their feet or testicles and beating them with a lash, Back-Breaking Toil Gomez likes to point to his ex- | tensive road-building program as | proof of the “progressiveness” of | | > Venezuela in Grip of Most Vicious Dictatorship in All Latin America on labor.

If they stop to rest they are beaten. The food and treatment accorded the prisoners | On the roads is even worse than in the prisons. In general, the condi- tions that prevail in the chain gangs jin the South of the United States find their counterpart in the forced labor gangs in Venezuela. Because of the brutal treatment accorded them and the malaria infested swamps in which they are forced to work, the prisoners seldom live longer than three months after being set to work on the roads. For this reason the government is con- stantly compelled to recruit new prisoners to replace those who have died. When recruits become scarce, unemployed workers in the cities are rounded up, put through the | savage prison regime, and eventu- | ally sent to work on the roads. | Gomer’ “Magnanimous” Gesture Recently it was reported that Juan Vincente was ready to free five thousand political prisoners—|the N.

This magnanimous ges- | ture was made just a few weeks | before Dec. 19, 26th anniversary of | Gomez’ rule and an uncomfortable date for the dictator of Venezuela | because of the wide protests it always occasions throughout Latin | America, The Venezuelan workers remember, however, that Juan Vin- cente made the same gesture some eight years ago, when he liberated all the political prisoners, only to start his “kidnapping” all over again. Some of the political prisoners | are reported to have been freed. | However, the only guarantee that | the thousands of Venezuelan polit- ical prisoners will be released is a wide protest movement throughout | the world, but especially here in the | United States, home of the impe- | rialism that dominates Venezuela, | In promising to free the political | prisoners on the condition that they | leave the country, Gomez shows that he fears the protests of the| masses against his savage dictator- | |ship. He can and must be forced | to release the prisoners uncondi- tionally by the mass action of the workers of the United States and Latin America. | As an aftermath of the great West Coast strike, a number of foreign born workers were sched- uled for deportation, and brought to Ellis Island charged with “be- longing te an organization plan- ning to overthrow the govern- ment.” Segregated from the other deportees at Ellis Island, they are appealing their cases. John Ujick, one of the workers, has sent the following letter te the Committee for the Protection of Foreign Born, in which he gives a graphic account of his life of\ hard toil in this country for the past thirty years, and the circumstances un- der which he was framed.

In August, 1906, as a youth of 16 years of age, I left my home; town, Vele Mune, Austria (which is; now under Italy), and arrived \at New York, legally, paying my head tax.

Brother Killed By Speed-Up From Feb., 1907 until May, 1908, I worked for board and shelter only, and when I didn’t work I was not allowed to eat by orders of the Portland relief board at that time. I worked in the logging camps of the north-west, barely making a living, until 1913, in which year I went to Alaska, searching for work along with several hundreds of un- employed: I finally landed a job in a mine at $3 a day, paying $45 a month for board. Three months later, my brother, in spite of my warnings, joined me, also working in the mine, until in 1915, through gross negligence on the part of the bosses, and due | to the speed-up, he was criminally killed while at work, leaving a widow and four children in that far-off land on the Adriatic. It was the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company that killed him. Rented Small Farm Since I had been injured several times as a result of the terrible speed-up, I decided to leave Alaska in 1917, and with the few dollars I had, I rented a.small farm at Enumclaw, near Seattle, Wash. During the war I registered for war service, and was placed in class 5 paragraph E and told to keep up my work on the farm.

After 1925 I worked for some time on the saw-mill, and the three years before the crisis I worked in Tacoma as smelter, car- penter, plumber, whatever I could find to do. In the beginning of the year 1928, I started to build me a home, com- pleted at the end of 1929, estimated value of house and two lots $1,800, with a $280 mortgage on the prop- ertl. I held off the payments on the mortgage by paying 7 per cent in- terest monthly on $280. In 1931 the real-estate sharks succeeded in cheating me, and through the courts took complete | possession of the property while I| continued to live in it. In May 1933 I was arrested by the Tacoma sheriff, charged with tampering} with the Puget Sound Light Trust’s wires, supposedly connected by me for an unemployed worker. ‘ In) Jail I was taken to jail and placed under a $100 bond. When the workers came within an hour to bail me out, the bail was increased to $500. The next day fifty work- ers who still owned some property came and offered to go on bond, one of them putting up the sav- ings of ten years, a $3,000 certificate of the Savings and Loan Bank. On the third day, in spite of the pro- tests of the workers of Tacoma, I was still held in jail. An immigration official called Mc- Namara arrived, but I refused to | answer his questions, demanding an | attorney of my choice. I was third degreed and placed among dope ad- dicts, murderers, etc., deprived of visitors for over forty days, and only after great mass protests to Washington, D. C., was I allowed visitors; in the presence of a guard. As I was very sick at the end of fifty days, the workers collected money among themselves and got me out on a thousand dollars sur- ety bonds, tried in a justice court, before a jury of six men. I defended my- self and again great mass atten- dance forced the court to let me go, after the jury was tisd up five to one in our favor. The Frame-Up The Immigration officials took almost two months to frame me. All they could find out was that I was a member of the Unemployed Council. They called a hearing with about ten officials of the relief department, plus four vigilantes and one renegade from the Y.C.L. whom we won many victories, such as light, water, rent, clothing, etc. These relief heads, “stomach rob- they all testified, including the vig- ilantes, that they believed I was a Communist, taken to Seattle immigration sta- tion where I was held 42 days, and put in solitary confinement for pro- testing the prosecution of several boys for demanding sugar in their coffee. After four days of a hunger strike, I was taken to King Co. jail and held there three months, the Jast few days in solitary, The I.L.D. made every effort to stop my de- portation, but not enouzh mass pressure was present. On October 24 I was put aboard the prison- train, and on the 29th, for the second time in 28 years I saw the statue of “liberty.” Little did I dream in August 1906 that I would be condemned to tor- ture and death at the hands of Mussolini by Miss Perkins. My only hope lies with the toiling masses to whom I appeal for help. Comradely yours, JOHN UJICK. Yer!

From the start the overlords of the press fought against this attempt at or- ganization by their employes.
