Blood Flows in Berlin

Critique of Pure Reason. At the
head of the procession the sabre;
must have been slashing again, fol
there was blood along the philoso,
piers street, too. But the mass kept
moving.

At the Friedrich Carl Platz there
were three more trucks full of greer

"Rot, Front! Rot Front! Rot

Thaelman Slashed
From that point the procession
went on more or less peacefully
Later we learned that three workers
had been wounded by revolver shots
and about twenty had received sabre
cuts. Among the latter were Com
rade Thaelman, one of the leaders of
the German Communist Party.
Meantime a similar scene took
place in Weberwiese, in the east part
Of the city. Several thousand work
ers gathered to march on to join the
demonstration in Charlottenburg. The
green police charged into them, using
sabres and revolvers. One man was
killed and number wounded.
Net results of the day: one dead,
forty wounded.
BlOodthirsty Socialists.
Today, Herr Z6rgiebel, chief of the
Berlin police, has issued an order to
his men that all crowds must be dis
persed. He is a member of the Social
Democratic Party. Herr Gerzinski,
police president, defended last nights
murderous action of the police before
the Prussian Landtag. He is also a
social democrat. The Vorwaerts, Of
fetal organ Of the Social Democratic
Party, writes today that the poor po-
lice had to defend itself. The press
of the extreme right publishes head
lines about a Communist assault on
the poor police. Such is stabilized
Germany.
The workers are going to hold an
other demonstration in Lichterfelde-
Ost tonight to protest against the
white terror. The Communist Party
has publicly pointed out the connec-
ton of this weeks events with the
fascist preparations for May l and 8,
and with the general drive to con-
solidate the power of the bourgeoisie
politically as well as economically.
Different in U. S. s. r.
Two weeks ago 1 saw an entirely
different kind of demonstration. 1t
was in Moscow, where elections to
the soviets were going on. Soviet
Square was filled with groups of
workers, comsomols and Red Army
men from early morning till late at
night, listening to speeches about the
magnificance of the elections, the
British note, the world situation. A
few "milizioners" stood by directing
izvoschiks to go down a side street
so at not to disturb the comrades in
the square.
The days when the police of cap
italists, landlords and bankers could
shoot into groups of unarmed work
ers are gone forever in Russia. In
the cultured west" it will go on for
little while until the workers take
power.

Would Abolish
Supreme Court

SAL RA MINlO, Cal. March IS.
Abolition of the California su
preme court and appellate courts,
and substitution of new supreme
court of 20 members is sought in a
constitutional amendment presented
in the state senate today by Senn-
tor Harry Chamberlin Of Los An
geles.
Senator Chamberlin explained
that his startling judicial innova-
tion would serve to obtain better
representation in the supreme court
by having its members elected from
four districts of the state. Each
division would have five members
and chief justice, and could sit
independently of the other branch
es. Over the entire tribunal would
be placed presiding justice.
By giving supreme court powers
to appellate courts, judicial proceed
ure would be simplified and justice
speeded up, Chamberlin insisted.
The measure would prove for great
er coordination between the appel
late and supreme courts, which now
work closely together, he explained.
