XII KLUx KHAN IN
ATTEMPT TO cow
TRENTON NEGROES

Tiny Hovels
(Ry the Federated Press.)

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 21.-The Ku
Klux Khan of Trenton and vicinity
plans to turn Labor Day into a gigan-
tic demonstration in behalf of the
hooded order. A huge parade is be-
ing arranged for Hamilton township,
adjacent to Trenton, and the Khan
spokesman are making the grandiose
claim that they will have 100000 per-
sons in line.
Want to Cow Negroes.
These Khan preparations are regard
ed ominously by Trenton Negroes.
Klansmen have been applauding the
shoot to kill' orders which Commits
sioner of Public Safety George B. La
Barre issued to policemen dealing
with alleged disorderly Negroes. 1t is
charged that both the police and the
Kluxers are attempting to COW the
southern Negroes who are employed
in the open shop steel mills and fac
tories of this community.
In fact, LaBarre is issuing his full
limitations against these southern emf.
grants, who have swelled the Negro
population of Trenton from 1000 to
$1,000 The only overt act of any con-
sequence to which the commissioner
can point is fight which Owen Bron-
er, a former overseas soldier, had
with two policemen, which resulted
in the death of the Negro A. e. F.
man and the wounding of the two po-
licemen. A minor ARRAY occurred
when Howard Dangerfield, Negro
physical instructor in the Negro pub
lie schools, thrashed a white man who
resented his using a certain diving
platform at public swimming pool.
The white man struck the first blow.
Many Negroes Unemployed.
Many black and white workers
have been laid off in the Trenton mills
and factories recently. Some of the
southern Negroes have been charging
that Trenton industrial conditions had
been misrepresented to them. They
say they were given to understand
they would have steady employment
if they came north.
Among the corporations employing
many Negroes are the American Steel
and Wire Company, the John L. Mott
Iron Works, the Roebling Wire
Mills, National Radiator Company,
Cooks Linoleum Company and pot
terry and rubber concerns.
Housing conditions for these Negro
newcomers to Trenton are deplorable.
| A virtual system of segregation exists
thru the refusal Of landlords to rent
homes to Negroes in the better dis
tricts of the city. It is not uncom-
mon to find an average of three per-
sons crowded into each room.

OF its experts-which means, really,
to govern Europe, in exactly the same
way that few American magnates
control dozens of trusts and railroads.
AT the same time the American CAPT.

the greatest of all yellow traitors,
Gompers, and to crush relentlessly
millions of proletarians, under the
threat of new flood of immigration

This monstros plan for the enslave-

of French militarism, has been ac-

At the same time, it explains its

geoisie by referring to the necessity
of resisting outside pressure" Amid
the hue and cry about Communist

there is unfolding itself before our
very eyes a brutal capitalist plot
against the workers of Europe and of
the whole world. The organizing
spirit of this plot is finance capital,
with it's general staff in New York
and it's partners in London. The most
important and significant work is
given over to the marshals of the

The German bourgeoisie is in agree
ment with this transaction, because,
with the help of foreign capital and,
in extreme need, with the help of for
eign force, it hopes to complete its
subsection Of the German proletariat.
1t is constantly placing heavier bur-
dens upon the workers; it is wrench
ing from them the last of the gains
they made during the revolution; it is
lenghtening the working-day; it is
speeding up production; and by these
means it hopes to force the German
workers, under the conditions of the
new methods of technical and produc-
tive concentration, to put up with all
the sufferings, privations, and miser-
les of the early period of factory life.
The enervating and crushing of the
German proletariat serves the bour-
geoisie of Europe, by permitting them
to hold the Damocles' sword of Ger.

.LAFOLLETTE is
EPUDIATED BY
MACHINIST LOCAL
Members Kill Motion to
Endorse Bob"

Local 800 Of the International AS
ISOLATION Of Machinists by an over
whelming vote, defeated the attempt
on the part Of the William H. John
ston followers to endorse the LaFol-
lette- Wheeler combination as their
candidates for the presidency and
vice-presidency Of the United States
in the coming election.
The LaFollette forces used the GUS
tomary anti-Commupist propaganda in
speaking for the motion. They brought
up the argument that the entire Off
cialdom of the A. F. Of L. was for
LaFollette and that the members
should adopt the Gompersian policy.
Stands by Principles.
The great majority Of the members,
however, pointed out that local 800
has stood for independent working
class political action for several years
and would not now desert it's princi-
pies. August Plambeck, one Of the
progressives who worked in Wiscon-
sin, pointed out that it was one of
Lu6 WOT6l bLdJ6h III bA6 uulOu lOI lid
chinists despite the fact that LaFol-
lette has complete control of the po-
utical machinery of Wisconsin.
The role of the Proletarian Party
members during the discussion was
amusing. While they pointed out the
true character Of the LaFollette move
ment, they refrained from voting on
the question and delivered their usual
TRADE against the Communists. For
this they were highly praised by the
LaFollette supporters.
Elect Progressive.
August Plambeck was elected dele
gate from the local to the next con-
vention of the Illinois State Fedora
ton of Labor.
Duncan Macdonald, former secre-
tary Of the Illinois Miners Union, and
also former president of the Illinois
State Federation Of Labor, was NOM
mated to I'LL the latter position, by
local $50.

Amalgamated Food Workers is the
deed of the workers in the baking in
dustry. Both Unions are bona-fide
labor organizations, irrespective of
the conditions and agreements the
two unions are enforcing.
Both Bakers Unions must accept
and establish the policy of the United
Front thruout Greater New York as
proposed by the Bronx Locals for the
specific purpose of preserving their
organizations, organizing the non-un-
ion shops and finally joining together
to defeat the sinister influences of the
Bakers Trust and check the open
shop drive in the industry.
We therefore appeal to the organ
lied bakers and to the workers of
Coney Island and Brooklyn to put a
stop to this war within the organized
ranks of union labor in the baking in
dustry.
Support the bakers unions by buy
ing union made bread, no matter
whether organized in the International
Bakery and Confectionery Workers of
the American Federation of Labor or
organized in the Amalgamated Food
Workers. Demand the United Front
among the organized Bakers.

ARREST TURNS
OUT TO BE A
SOCIAL CALL
Cicero Cops Try the Soft
Soap Studs

The Young Workers League again
held an open air meeting in Cicero.
And the cops were with them. The
cops we have ever with us.
Clarence Miller spoke to the sew.
eral hundred workers gathered at the
corner of 14th st. and 49th Ct, telling
them of the coming unemployment,
the approaching war and the Com
munist candidates in the elections
campaign, when husky cop pulled
him off the soap box, telling him the
chief of police wanted to talk to him
on the phone.

ing, mounted the platform and gave
short talk on free speech" in the
United States. A few minutes later
the wagon rolled up and both COM
rades were ushered in for free ride
to the police station, while the crowd
Kissed and yelled at the police.
Singing Jailbirds.
On the way the two Young Workers
sang to the cops. They sang Tramp,
Tramp, Keep on a-Tramping," THE
Preacher and the Slave" and had just
finished the RED Flag" when they
reached the station. The cops, who
had listened, interested in spite of
themselves, recollected their duty and
gruffiy told them to "cut out that sing
ing while you're in the building"
Eyes, sir" they answered meekly.
But when they went upstairs, it de-
veloped that ''they are not under ar
rest. Chief of Police Swoboda just
wanted. to come to an agreement
about where these street meetings
should be held"
Captain Quite Cordial.
Followed a social chat Of Is min
utes during which Chief Swoboda
(Which, by the way, is Russian for
freedom) threatened that if we didn't
stop our meetings on the main street
Of Cicero he would send down a brass
band to play on the opposite corner
and take away our crowds. He whee-
died us to Cooperate with the DO
lice" even offering to give c. Miller
a nickel with which to call him before
each meeting and tell him on which
block the meeting was to be held.
And, what is more, they promised po-
lice protection since rather over
ripe tomato had met the back of Mill
er's shirt during his talk.
When the Cicero comrades, who had
rushed around and rustled up a bail
of respectable size, arrived, they found
that the arrest" of the two League
members had turned into Kidding
fest"
The sum total of the affair was that
the Cicero police, in giving permission
to the Workers Party to hold their
meetings on any street except 18th
St., acknowledged their defeat in the
struggle waged between the party and
the Cicero authorities since the begin
ming of the open air season.

MTHAT is perfect hanging case?
wv You will have to ask States
Attorney Robert E. Grove. That
worthy appears to have a hanging
complex. Wherever a dead body is
found anywhere within the limits of
his jurisdiction, Mr.. Grove takes
down his trusty moose and looks at it
lovingly hoping that before many
moons it will decorate the neck of
some human being. When the Franks
case broke and the murderers con-
fessed, Grove rubbed his hands glee-
fully, muttering "a perfect hanging
case" He has repeated that phrase
several times a day since. His assist
ants have contracted the habit. A
man with such strong desire to get
a rope around some fellow humans
neck should not be at large. 1t is
only a question of time when Grove
may lose his judicial poise and go
on hanging spree. Or he might
join the Ku Klux Khan.

An interesting fact connected with
