COMMUNISTS THE
WORKERS GROUP
IN GERMAN POLL
Socialists Dicker with
Right Parties

BERLIN, Germany. April 1.-THE
issue will be clear cut in the final
German election, April &c, between
he working class, represented by the
Communist Party candidate Ernst
Thaelmann, and the fascist-monarchist
right coalition, probably to be rep
resented by D. Jarres, and the social
st center bloc, which wants to per-
petuate the rule of the exploiters with
bourgeois democratic republic and
will probably have as it's candidate
Wilhelm Marx.
The socialists have, in their pre-
election maneuvers, again and again
demonstrated their complete adher-
ence to the rule of the employers.
The social democratic leaders made
a deal with the catholic party that
they would support the candidacy of
Marx if the centrists aided them in
electing the socialist Otto Braun as
minister president of Prussia.
This was carried thru, but at the
same time that the centrist minister
Hoepke-Achoff gave way to the social
list, the catholics were dealing with
the peoples party and the nationalists
for solid right bloc against the So
cialists.

NEW YORK CITY, April 2.-The

discovery that all is and has not
been we'll in the AmaIgamated clo-
thing Workers Union.
1t never could discover previously
that Local No. had been expelled
or that Locals SO and "a had with
drawn in protest at the expulsion
and were acting in concert with Lo-
cal No. against the autocraey Of
the HilIman machine. But then the
Forward is capitalist newspaper,
and as such does not give news ia
vorahle to the working class.
But at last the Forward speaks.
And as usual when it speaks, it lies.
1t has found out that Locals So and
"a have deserted" Local and gone
back to the joint board.
The fact Of the matter is that
Locals SO and "a went back to the
joint board by the decision of the
joint executive OF the coatmakers,
which Includes Local 5 and the other
coatmakers. The Forward was
blind until it saw a chance to lie.
Thus we hear of the "desertion" of
Local by the other two locals.

they were involved in bomb explo-

Polish patriots into believing that
Soviet Russia's spies were in the Po-
lish army to betray Poland as a nation
to Russia as a nation and obscure the
real fraternity existing between the
Russian workers and the Polish
workers as a class.
Their trial was farcical, and il was

Murder Two Workers.
Tho Comrade Lanzutsky is reported
to have been acquitted by the Polish
bourgeois judgf The reign Of terror
against the workers appears to have
taken on a fresh impetus. On the
same day that the report of Lanzut-
sky's acquittals reached the United
States, it was learned that two work
ers on their way to be exchanged for
an equal number of Polish counter
revolutionaries, imprisoned in Soviet
Russia, were brutally murdered, by
their guards when nearing the Rus
sian border. The workers of tn,
United States must join with the
workers of other countries in making
their protests felt.
TIL recent demonstrations in the
United States were very effective in
showing the Polish government that
their brutal murder campaign cannot
be carried on with impunity. It is OF
particular Importance that the hun.
dreds of thousands of Polish workers
in Chicago should be reached with
the message of Communism and this
exposure Of the present terror in
Poland affords a splendid opportun.
ity to arouse their interest. The To-
cal Office of the Workers Party urges

meet about this meeting and urge

SMALL'S STATE

Even More Vicious Than
the Dunlap Bill

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April a. The
Dunlap state police bill, which would
establish a police force of $50 Off
GERS and men to be used to break
strikes, was reported to the senate
by the committee on military affairs
without recommendation. This means
that those who favor the bill must
muster rs votes, a majority of the
senate, to have the bill placed on the
calendar.
But second bill providing for an
unlimited force Of state police, under
the direct control of the governor
who would appoint the commander.
was reported favorably by the COM
mittee on roads.
This bill is cloaked under the guise
Of measure to protect roads, but has
been so amended by Small's commit
tee that a state police force of 1000
men may be maintained.
The members of the force, under
the bill, have the full power to make
arrests and act as regular state po-
lice. The Small bill is worse than
the Dunlap bill, for it gives the police
the same power, and in addition, pro-
vides for an unlimited force.
II is reported that IL the bill pass
es, Small will appoint his son-in-law.
Col. A. K. Inglesh. to head the con-
stabulary. No limit is placed on the
salary of the officers, but the men are
to receive $3.50 month or less, ac-
cording to the bill.
