NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May g.
Realizing that the great struggle of
the 10000 textile workers here is
showing increasing signs of coming
to a victorious conclusion, as the Tex
tile Mill Committees are rapidly gain
ing sole leadership of the strike, and
enraged at the daily mass picketing
demonstrations conducted by that or
ganization, the mill owners yesterday
made an attempt to halt the commit
tees further intrenchment in the
strike leadership, by engineering a
police eviction of strikers from union
headquarters on the flimsy excuse of
it's being an unlicensed meeting hall
The whole elaborate plan of the
city authorities and the mill owners
fell thru when the representatives Of
the Mill Committees succeeded in
proving to the license department
that the building had always possessed

CABLES PROTEST
Release of Bella Kun Is
Demanded

The National Office of Interna-
tional Labor Defense, with branches
and affiliated organizations thruout
America, today sent cable of pro-
test to the Austrian government
against the proposed extradition of
Bella Kun, the former chairman of
the Council of Peoples Commissars
of the Hungarian Soviet government.
The cable also demanded his uncon-
ditional release and the safeguard
ing of his return to the Soviet Union,
of which he is now citizen, against
the interference of the Horthy ban
dts.
1t was announced at the National
office of International Labor Defense
today that stron gagitation win
be conducted to arouse labor and lib
eral opinion throughout America in
behalf of the leader of the Hungarian

The cable sent to the Chancellor
Seipel is as follows:
"Three hundred thousand members
affiliated with our organization pro-
test emphatically against the arrest
of Bella Kun and violation Of right
of political asylum and demand his
immediate unconditional release.
American workers condemn as muir
der conspiracy the proposals for his
extradition and certain death at the
hands of the bloodthirsty Horthy
government. We will conduct agita-
ton and demonstrations among
American masses till Bella Kun is
freed and his journey to the Soviet
Union is safeguarded against the
Horthy bandits.

POLICE CLUB WORKERS
AT PEACE CONFERENCE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 9.-The
International Peace Conference was
turned into bloodshed tonight at the
Masonic Auditorium here when scores
of police and plainclothesmen bru-
tally treated workers demonstrating
against Milukof, former czarist min
lister, speaking against the Soviet
Union.
The demonstrators received APP
plause from the workers when. one
after the other rose and protested
against Milukof's speech agitating for
war against the U. S. S. R. Burton,
who presided at the meeting, provoked
reactionary audience and police to vio-
lence.
Big posters advocated disarmament
after the Soviet proposal for peace
and the stopping of preparation for
war of American youth. Twenty wo-
men and men were arrested. One
worker was seriously injured, his blood
covering the stairs. Others were
beaten and mistreated. |. Amter, dis

running from his face. He was held
for investigation. Among those ar
rested were Betty Cannot, secretary
of the Young Workers Community
League, Sadie Van Veen, Lille Borer,
Nell Amter, Elmer Boich. Milukof's
speech was continually interrupted,
although the workers did not disturb
the previous speakers.
Those arrested sang the "Interna-
tional" in the patrol wagon and in
jail. There was an earlier demonstra-
ton Monday night. When the British
ambassador spoke four were arrested
then. A communication exposing the
peace conference was sent to confer

mupist) Party. Many leaflets were
distributed.

Democrats, G. O. P. In
On Steal

Delay by the Federal Statutory
Court yesterday in signing the order
for fare increase recently granted
to the Interborough Rapid Transit
Company is seen here as confirma-
ton of the belief that the federal
court is lined up with the Tammany
Hall city machine, the state repub-
lican henchmen as well as the transit
commission in the move to force a
seven and finally ten cent fare on
the, subway riders of the city.
Plan Delay.
The signing of the order would
have enabled the city and transit
lawyers to appeal to the United States
supreme court for a reversal of the
statutory court order. This time set
for the appeal is May IA, and it is
apparently the intention of the "con-
tracing" parties to the scheme to
postpone action long enough to pre-
vent the argument before the supreme
court.
Federal Judge Manton, one of the
Ihree VINO signed the original order,
intimated yesterday afternoon that
the order would be held over. Even
before the news of the intended de-
laying of action on the part of the
judges was indicated, Charles L.
Craig, attorney for the city in the in
creased fare issue, and also attorney
at the same time for some traction
lines, had already announced that in
any event there would be insufficient
time for the city to prepare its case
to present to the supreme court.
Increase Sure Next Week.
The net result of these maneuvers
is that the Interborough will be able
to put over the increased fare next
week if is so desires.

International has issued an appear
which says in part:
'The campaign of the world bourS
geois press against Bella Kun is inf
tended to create an atmosphere fof
his possible extradition and possibly
for an attempt to murder him.
Cali of the sections of the Commus
mist International are requested to
raise a demand for the immediate re-
lease of Bella Kun in connection with
the general campaign against fascism
and the brutal international reaction
in Europe and China"
The news of the danger of the ex-
tradition of Bella Kun has caused the
greatest Indignation among the work
ers of the Soviet Union. Protest
meetings are being held in the fac
tories of all of the large towns and
cities to urge an international cam
paign against the extradition of Bella
Kun and for his immediate release.
Even if Bella Kun is not handed over
to the Horthy terrorists the danger
of his assassination still remains
acute. The Hungarian press is openly
melting the murder of Bella Kun.
