COURT EDICT HITS
AT RED FIGHTERS
Bar Australia Militant
Organization

Especial Gable to the Daily Worker
VIENNA, Oct. A.-The consti-
tutional court today issued decree
ordering that the Red Front Fight
ers be disbanded. The decree came
as result of an appeal by the mill
tant workers organization against a
decision previously made by the
Federal Court.
In rejecting the appeal the court
declared that the Red Front Fight
ers had exceeded their statutes by
demonstrations calculated to disturb
the public peace"
The Red Front Fighters point out
that the decision of the court vio-
lates the Austrian constitution and
that semi-military fascist organiza-
tions are permitted to operate in
spite of the fact that they have
called numerous provocative demon
strations.

Considerable anxiety if not con-

a result of the Hoover charge that

the so-called socialist party itself in

Spread of Walkout Is
Vital to Success

PATERSON, N. J., Oct. a.
With the frightened silk bosses be-
ginning to fight the imminent
spread of the strike here thru their
tools, the police, the authorities to-
day arrested the entire line of work
ers mass picketing the Dunlop Mill,
at 220 Straight Street.
Arrest Whole Line.
The workers had been peacefully
picketing in front of the mill when
the police seized them and hauled
II to the station house where they
were charged with disorderly con-
duct.
The arrests were so obviously a
frame-up that even the judge ad-
mitted there was no disorder while
the mass picketing was going on.
He was compelled to free fifteen of
the workers, tho not until they had
suffered the discomforts of the sta
ton house. Two of the pickets were
given suspended sentences by the
court, apparently to show that it
was serving its masters as much as
it could in so bad a case.
Union Attacks Arrests.
The Associated Silk Workers
Union has issued a statement at
tacking the action of the police.
Charges of brutality, which have
been made from time to time by
the pickets against individual Off
GERS, are being enlarged to cover the
whole police department, as the
workers gradually see that they
are fighting the entire police, act
ing for the bosses, and not indi-
viduals.
Denunciation of the police and
appeals for the gradual spread of
the strike were also heard at this

The Joint Board of the Furriers'
Union yesterday issued a fiery call
to all fur workers to rally around

Casino, Immediately after work.
"The Fur Union was destroyed by
the brutality of the police and the
persecution of the courts" the call
states. "They all worked hand in
hand with the bosses and the reac-
tionaries of the A. F. of L., Green,
Woll, McGrady, together with the
underworld and the socialist traitors,
Hillquit, Cahan and Co.
"The furriers are starving and
being exploited in the most miser-
able way. All union conditions we
have won from the bosses have been
abolished The treacherous politi-
clans of the socialist party and the
reactionary chiefs of the A. F, of
L. have helped the republican and
democratic judges to send hundreds
of strikers to Jail. They have at
tempted to break our general strike
of 1926. They have broken our
strike in 1927. Thru the hands of
the police, detectives, industrial

Especial to the Daily Workert
AKRON, Ohio, Oct 24.-In one
of the most stirring speeches deliv-
cred in the present election CAM
paign, William 2. Foster, presiden-
tial candidate on the Workers (Com-
munist) Party ticket, last night
launched an attack on the deceptive
programs and tactics of the demo-
cratic, republican and socialist par
ties.
Over five hundred workers, many
of them from the rubber mills of
the city in which the excessive speed
up and low wages are driving the
workers to action, listened atten-
lively to Fosters talk and applauded
enthusiastically throughout.
War Danger Immediate.
"Here in this city with its rubber
factories, you have one of the i'm
mediate factors making for the
coming ruthless imperialist war
which is even now in preparation, /"
the Communist candidate declared.
Rubber, oil, raw materials, increas-
| ing production and the vicious strug-
gle for world markets, these are the
forces which make the war danger
not thing of some far off moment
but an issue of the immediate pres
ent."
Touching upon the excessive
speed-up and the lowering wage
scales, unemployment which is now
permanent, and. the resulting suf-
fering of the lower strata of work
ers, Foster predicted that great
struggles were ahead of the work
ing class. Gust as in the past few
years, so in the future the work.

ers to join in their common cause
The socialist party has abandoned
all pretense to leading the struggle
of the workers and is now making
its appeal to the so-called liberals
and progressives, he showed.
In the future, Foster declared, the
workers will find that only the Com
munists will take the lead in the
battles now beginning. The basic
industries, he said, can be organized
through the initiative and help of
the organized Communist and left
wing forces.
Considerable enthusiasm was
shown at the meeting. Young work
ers present sang Pioneer songs and
a spirit of militancy was manifest
throughout.
