International Labor Defense has re-
ceived cables from the Executive Com
mittee, International Red Aid, and
from the /. L. D. Mopr of the Union
of the Socialist Soviet Republics, ex-
pressing their sorrow at the death of
Comrade William d. Haywood. Hay

The cable from the International

follows:
"'The Executive Committee of the
International Red Aid mourns, to-
gether with you, at the death Of Com

Social Democrats Try to

Especial Cable to The Daily worker.)
MOSCOW, May %. - Vyshinski,
who is presiding at the trial in the
Donetz Basin conspiracy informed the
court yesterday that he had received
a telegram from the leaders of the
Berlin district of the metal workers
union requesting the acceptance of
the German lawyer Munte as a de-
fender for Meier, German technician
who is accused of participating in the
conspiracy. Munte is the lawyer for
the Allgemeine Elektrische Gesell-
schaft, whose officials are accused of
aiding in the conspiracy.
The court refused the request de-
claring that the accused had sufficient
time to choose their own defenders,
The court deprived two of the de-
fence attorneys of their position be-
cause they had exercised undue pres
sure on the defendants.

BISCUIT FIRM
LAYS OFF men
Speeds Up Workers at
Other Times

Conditions at the National Biscuit
Company are bad enough, but the
worst feature of this slave factory is
the matter of lay-offs and overtime.
AS has happened many times this
year already, we were laid off again
last Monday. At this time of the
year we are usually busy but our
bosses have carried out so many plans
for increasing the output, speed-up,
ETC., lately that there is too much
stock produced, SO we are laid off,
usually on Mondays and Thursday.
1t may look funny, but while we
are laid off so often, yet we have to
work overtime every working day
too. The reason is that we are not
allowed to let any of the cookies, bis
cults or dough stay over until the
next day. All the work has to be
put out before we Weave the place,
and we are always kept on the job
from 10 to 80 minutes after closing
time. On Saturday, for instance, we
were told not to come to work Mon
day, but few of the girls and men
were asked to report for work Mon
day to finish the work on hand. They
come for few hours and then are
sent home.
We are supposed to have so min
utes for lunch. Many times we don't
go down until 1890 and have to come

PARTY SPREADS
FIGHT ON 7cSTEAL
Hold Open Air Meets
Thruout City

While politicians of all camps
sought to pluck as much political
fruit as they could from the harvest
which they believe they can gather
as a result of the temporary post
ponement of the increased fare move,
the agitation against the traction sell
out under the leadership of the Work
ers (Communist) Party continued to
spread. A number of open air mass
meetings were held throughout the
city at which speakers warned au-
diences that the traction steal, put off
until after election, would surely go
through then unless a mass opposi-
tion against it developed.
Jimmie Walker, Tammany Hall
mayer, who is known to have made
S287,000 last year from his traction
stocks joined with u. S. Senator Rob-
ert F. Wagner, another Tammany son
in claiming the court order as a
sweeping victory" for the democratic
machine. Wagner is the author of
the -socalled Wagner Bill which
passed the Legislature in 1913 legaliz-
ing the dual subway contracts as a
result Of which the city has already
been plundered of over two hundred
million dollars.

The workers struck for II days
back in '21 for the right to belong to
a nice works council, such as had
been installed in nearby Standard Oil
plants. They won. A works council
with a representative from each of
the II departments met with IL COM
pany men under the Craftsmanship of
the assistant to the president.
But today, with hundreds of men
clustering about refinery gates beg
ging for jobs, Tidewater didn't care
what happened to the works council.
Men asked for council meetings to
present grievances against speed up.
But the meetings became more and
more infrequent.
All Workers Quit.
A spontaneous walkout in one de-
partment soon brought out every
worker and forced the company union
officers to act. Even many white
collar employees joined. Hundreds of
strikers clustered about the refinery
gates in early morning hours, picket
ing. So threatening was the situa-
zion that the mayor and chief of police
warned Tidewater not to try to bring
in strikebreakers.
Pickets jumped in boats and
patrolled marine entrances to the
plant, preventing harbor boats from
shifting barrelled oil. Trucks were
prevented from going in the main
gates, although the strike committee
permitted food to be sent inside to
the technical force. Three firemen,
asked to move barrels about, quit and
the strike committee conferred with
the chief of the fire department
whether the rest of the company's
private fire fighting force should be
called out.
Relief there was, too. Departments

Greatest Strength Lies
In Industrial Centers

Especial Cable to DAILY WORKER.)
BERLIN, May 22.-Having gained
more than half a million popular
votes in the national elections to the
Reichstag, and with a vote totalllng
well above three millions, the Com
munist Party achieved results that
even exceeded the expectations of
the Party leaders.
Over half million votes have been
gained in the great Communist cleo
toral success. Fifty-four seats have
been gained in the Reichstag.
Tho the social democrats gained in
the neighborhocH of 100000 this
number is proportionately far less
than the Communist total. The great
est Communist successes were OBJ
tanned in the large towns and indus
trial centers.
Big Berlin Success.
Two hundred and twcnty-seven
thousand more votes were gained in
the overwhelming success in Berlin
alone, while the social democrats won
only one hundred and twenty-four
thousand more votes.
All the bourgeois parties suffered
heavy losses. The German Peoples
Party suffered catastrophe losses.
A coalition government between the
social democrats, Peoples Party, Cen
ter Party and democrats is forecast
as result of the election.
Surpass Social Democrats.
Late returns from two Berlin dis
tricts, Wedding and Friedrichshain,
show that the Communist Party
polled more votes than the social
democrats.
Some of the greatest gains made
by the German Communist Party
were polled in the Ruhr Valley, the
industrial heart of the country.
Here the Communists definitely dem
onstrated that their strength in the
election lay in the masses of indus
trial workers. Essen, Elberfeld, Dues
seldorf and Barmen all show heavy
Communist increases.

Gold, Freeman, and
Taggard to Read

Hundreds of workers are expected
to be present tomorrow evening at
the second annual international Red
Poets Night, to be held at 8 o'clock
at the Labor Temple, Second Ave.
and 14th st.
The event will bring together rev.
olutionary poets writing in various
languages, who will read from their
own work. Red Poets Night is said
to be unique in this country and has
been modelled on the writer-worker
readings and discussions that are so
popular in the Soviet Union.
Among those who will read will be
David Gordon, 19-year-old member of
the Young Workers League, who was
condemned to three years in the re-
formatory for publishing a poem in
The DAILY WORKER which was
used as a pretext by professional pa
triots for prosecuting both the poet
and the paper. Gordon has just been
released on parole from the New York
County Reformatory and will read
some Of his prison poems.
The other poets who will take part
in the evenings program include such
we'll known writer's as Michael Gold,
Joseph Freeman, Genevieve Taggard,
James Rorty, Henry Reich, Jr., Rob
ert Wolf, A. B. Magil, Adolf Wolff,
Edwin Rolfe, the Yiddish poets, Abra-
ham Raisin, H. Leivick and Aron
Kurtz, the distinguished Hungarian
poet, Lajos Egri, as well as Russian,
Chinese, Ukrainian, German, Italian
and Spanish poets.
Moissaye j. Olgin, editor of The
Hammer, will be chairman of the eve-
ming and give a brief Introductory
talk on revolutionary poetry.
