GAG OPPOSITION
IN HORTHY GOVT
New Measure Bans All
Criticism

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 81.
All speeches in parliament which
are judged by premier Rethlen and
by the president of the louise to be
"prejudicial to the best interests of
the country" or "derogatory to the
reputation of the government" can
be vetoed by the premier and the
president, if bill introduced by the
government today is passed.
With adoption of the measure re-
garded as certain, opponents declare
that it is the worst gag yet applied
by the dictatorship, killing all illu-
sions as to a representative as
sembly, and calculated to suppress
all opposition to the Bethlen and
Horthy regime.

WORKERS WILL
FIGHT FAKE Ohio
FUND FOR CHARITY
Cleveland Communists
Organize Campaign

CLEVELAND, (By Mail) A
conference was held here, called by
the Workers (Communist) Party to
fight against the Community Fund,
the organized, centralized charitable
institution of the city. Twenty
unions, fraternal lodges, etc., re-
sponded to the call, and the fight is
on.
The Community Fund conducts
an annual drive in the factories,
shops, offices and schools of the city
for the purpose of raising funds
for charity. This year the aim is to
raise $4,600,000. A large part of
this fund is extorted from the work
ers. They are forced, under pain
of losing their jobs, to contribute,
not the amount that is within their
means, but SIS to $40. The pledge is
simply deducted from the wages.
and if the workers should be fired
or laid off, the balance is deducted
from his wages.
Who are behind the Community
Fund? The biggest, most vicious
open shoppers of the city are the
big guns behind the drive, and the
officers of the executive committee.
Up to last year, the Cleveland
Federation of Labor opposed it, but
when the Community Fund exec
utive committee put on JON Honan,
as Representative of organized la
Dor, to participate in the graft, then
the Cleveland Federation approved
it.
The conference elected a commit
tee of Is and decided to carry on
widespread campaign against the
fund, which begins it's drive about
the middle of November. Meetings
will be held, leaflets issued, resolu-
tions will be introduced in the
trade unions and fraternal lodges.
John Fromholz was elected chair
man, Rose Cohen, secretary of the
conference, which adopted as its
name Conference Against the Com
munity Fund and For Social Legis-
lation."
Another conference will be held
the first week of November. All
working class organizations are re-
quested to elect delegates.

LABOR FAKER
BOOSTS BOSSES
Keogh Is for Class
Collaboration

MONTREAL, (By MaiD.-Using
the class-collaboration phraseology
that has become second nature to
the A. F. of L. takers, President M.
j. Keough, at the 9th convention
of the international Molders' Union,
sang the usual paean to "coopera-
ton with the employers"
"The union is cooperating with
the employers in eliminating waste
in foundries," Keough said, HOPING
by that means to reduce the cost Of
producing castings and thereby in
crease the purchasing power of
those who work at molding and
coremaking for a living"
Keough carefully avoided saying
anything about the drive instituted
by the bosses against the living
standards of the workers in the in
dustry or about the problem of I'M
employment.
John P. Frey, secretary of the
Metal Trades Department of the
American Federation of Labor, also
addressed the meeting. Frey's
speech had all the official vagueness
and circumlocution appropriate for
such an occasion, tho he did inadver-
tently admit that the American
worker, measured by what he pro-
duces, is paid low wages in COM
parison with the European worker.
He failed to explain how the boot
licking, class collaboration policy of
the A. F. of L. would remedy this
situation.
Keough was reelected president
of the union.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 21.-
William 2. Foster, presidential can
didate of the Workers (Communist)
Party, addressed an audience of over
1900 workers here tonight at mass
campaign meeting held in the New
Broadway Arena, at Grove and
Christian SITS. A big percentage of
the audience was composed of Ne
gro workers, who have been attract
ed to the Communist platform be-
cause of it's militant activities in
championing the Negro workers and
advocating complete Negro equality.
Foster described the terror that
has been brought into play by the
Ku Klux Khan and American Legion
and city officials against the Work
ers (Communist) Party, citing the
plot against Benjamin Gitlow in Ari-
IONA, and the breaking up of Com
munist campaign meetings in West
Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania
and other states, and the raiding of
the Los Angeles Communist head
quarters.
Richard B. Moore, Negro candi-
date of the Workers (Communist)
Party in the 21st congressional dis
trict of New York described the Ne
gro planks of the Workers Party,
and D. Benjamin and Clarence Mil
Ter spoke in the name of the youth
workers. The danger of imperialist
war was stressed by the speakers,
who received tremendous ovations
from the worker-audience.

GANCSTERS SENT
BY THE u NITED
! HEBREW TRADES
Militants Protested Aid
to Gangsters

Because they objected to their
Local Union 302 of the Delicatessen
and Countermen lending aid to a
committee for the gangsters who at
tackled William Schiffrin, l. Him
melfarth and several other militant
members Of the local were beaten up
Friday night by right wing MEM
bers of the union, aided by police
called in by the right wingers. Him
melfarth received severe cut in
the eye and had to be treated by an
ambulance doctor.
A short time after, when the mill
tants who had been attacked by the
right wingers called to report the
attack at a police station, they
found that the right wingers, who
had been guilty of the assault, had
rushed to the police station, and had
entered charges against the mill
tants for being Communists. The
police then began to search the pro-
gressives, handling them roughly.
The committee for the aid of the
gangsters was formed by the reac-
tionary United Hebrew Trades
Council, which has organized a
strong arm squad to deal with the
workers who are fighting the He
brew Trades policy of betrayal of
the workers. The militant workers
demand that work be started to or
ganize the many thousands of I'M
organized delicatessen workers, and
that the union books be opened to
new members.

ATLANTA WHITES
SEEK FAIR DEAL
FOR NEGRO UNIT
Enter Strong Protest Against Unfair
and Inadequate Apportionment
of Funds for Negro
Schools.

Atlanta, Ga.-An earnest appeal to
the city board of education to keep
faith with the Negro citizens of At
lanta by giving their schools, as was
promised, fair proportion of the
building fund of $3,50O,000 recently
voted, has just been made by the At
lanta Christian Council, an interde-
nominational body representing so of
the principal churches of the city.
Pointing out that Negroes compose
approximately one-third of Atlanta's
population, and that in the recent
bond election the colored voters, hold
ing the balance of power, threw their
support to the bond issue on the sol
emn assurance that 100000 of the
proceeds would be applied to certain
urgent needs of their schools. The
Christian Council entered a protest
against the present reported plans of
the board to expend on Negro schools
less than two-fifths of the sum prom
ised, which, it insists, would not be
only wholly inadequate to the need,
but also deplorable breach of faith
and denial of justice.
The council points out that of
21,555 Negro children of school age
in the city, more than 5000 are at
tending schools where two and three
sessions day are held because of in
adequate housing facilities.
The petition was signed personally
by nearly fifty of the most prominent
ministers and laymen of the city. In
a vigorous editorial in it's support,
the morning Constitution says: eve
must keep faith. This great city cam
not afford to act in bad faith with
any part of it's population, white or
black"
The board of education has not yet
acted upon the memorial.
