RED MEETING IN
PHOENIX, ARIz.
Hold Rally in Open
Lot Despite Jingo-
Inspired Attack
BIoor, O'Brien Speak
To Defy Official Ban
at Meet Tomorrow

Especial to the Daily Worker
PHOENIX,\ Ariz., Nov. 6.-Police,
acting under pressure from the
American Legion and the Ku Klux
Klan, last night broke up an cleo
tion campaign meeting of the Work
ers (Communist) Party held on the
Plaza here. A permit for the meet
ing had been revoked at the last
minute through the influence of the
jingo organizations.
The police refrained from arrest
ing or attacking any of those pres
ent, evidently acting under orders
to prevent the meeting, but not to
arouse public resentment by a rep
etition of previous terrorist acts
against the Workers Party.
Undaunted by the efforts Of the
police to prevent Phoenix workers
from hearing the Communist elec-
tion message, Ella Reeve Bloor
noted labor veteran; William
O'Brien, Communist candidate fol-
governor of Arizona, and Robert
Murphy, who were the chief speak
ELS, took the crowd to a private oper
lot donated by sympathizer. Here
a successful meeting was held.
The crowd of workers invited
Mother Bloor to return Thursday
and hold another meeting on the
Plaza, despite the police ban. She
accepted the invitation.
Workers of this city are stirred
up at the official persecution of the
Communist Party and are deter
mined to 90 through. with the meet
ing Thursday.

Police arrested a number of
Frenchmen in he anti-fascist group.

Pellegra Rampant in
Southern Mill Towns;
Children Poorly Fed

WASHINGTON, D. c. (By Mail)
The United States Public Health
Service has just disclosed the fact
that pellagra is rampant among the
South Carolina mill towns, and that
this condition is directly due to poor
food.
The report states that fluctuations
of the disease are bound up with
fluctuations in economic conditions.
1t is also stated that the disease is
from two to six times greater than
physicians report. Children who are
for the most part not properly fed,
between the ages of IL and Is, are
the victims. The primary cause is
clearly traced to the effect of low
wages, the existing condition in
these southern mill towns.

EARLY RETURNS
INDICATE LARGE
RED INCREASES
NY Workers Repudiate
Yellow Socialist"
Vote Seekers
Betrayers' Loss Heavy
Tammany Steals Many
Red Votes

The complete discrediting Of
the socialist party before
workers of New York was best
indicated when the final re-
turns in the % assembly dis
tricts of New York County
gave Thomas 8,0S8 as COM
pared to the 46,434 votes
which that party received in
1924. :;
Partial returns phoned in to
the Daily Worker from var
ious New York precincts in
dicated an increased Commu-
mist vote over four years ago.
At a late. hour it was clear
that the socialists had lost
two-thirds or more of the fig
ure they polled in 1924 in New
York City. Owing to the op-
position of capitalist party
election officials all efforts to
obtain an accurate accounting
of votes for the Workers
(Communist) Party in New
York City were frustrated.
Incomplete returns from Kings
County (Brooklyn) at 11.30 showed
that the socialist party would lose
more than 10000 votes as compared
to 1924 while the Communist vote
was more than doubled. .
First indications of the rising
strength of the Communist vote
came when Is election districts in
Bronx County at 10 o'clock reported
634 votes for William z. Foster.
Communist standard bearer, and
only 394 for Norman Thomas, So
cialist candidate.
Early reports indicated Smith
victory in New York state, but this
was gradually cut down as the
Hoover returns came in.
At nine o'clock Smith had carried
the city by plurality of 100000,
with but 95 districts missing. Up to
this time crowds gathered outside
of newspaper offices were sure that
Tammany's Smith would carry the
state; as the upstate returns came
in the deluded masses began to re-
alize that the heavier of the Gold
Dust Twins was the first choice of
Wall Street.
Kings County incomplete reports
show that the Communist vote is
doubled as compared to 1924.
In Bronx County the vote for
Communist candidates is more than
doubled.
Smith failed to carry the city by
2 to 1, as had been hoped by his
campaign contributors. At 9:45 the
city vote was: Smith, 1,065,579;
Hoover, 667,415. Towards II o'clock
Smiths plurality was cut to less
than 100000 and it became clear
he had lost the state.
