Unemployment, the use of police

While the candidates of the capt.

to show their appreciation and

Husband WIFE and Three Children Rckeg Demonstration Before Fa
|. |. D. OFFERS
AID TO FRAMED
I.R.T. MOTORMAN
H cid Incommunicado,
Investigation Shows

The New York Section of the
International Labor Defense has
sent, thru its secretary. Rose Baron
letter to Stanley Zillig, l. R. T
motorman now in the Tombs, offer
ing him its aid in his fight for free
dom.
Zillig was arrested after his 'L''
train crashed into another stalled
train at Goth St. and Columbus Ave.
on July goth. About so persons
were injured in this collision, one
of them later dying. Zillig, himself
badly hurt, was arrested and the
marlborough, under the pretence of
defending him, shifted entire re-
sponsibility to the motorman despite
the fact that the wooden 81" trains
used by the l. R. T. are said to have
been largely responsible for the
injuries.
The Tammany controlled Transit
Commission, which has itself in the
past condemned these wooden cars,
came to the aid of the company and
gave it complete whitewash, put
ting the blame on the worker.
Efforts were made to hush up the
entire case and it was not until an
investigation was made yesterday
by Isaac Shorr, attorney for the
I. L. D., that the fate of the motor
man was learned. Shorts investiga-
ton discovered that the motorman
was still being held in the Tombs in
$4,000 bail with no Indictment
against him. The motorman has
been unable to furnish bail and he is
being held practically incommuni-
cado.
The I. R. T., which has ostensible
engaged council to defend Zillig, is
taking no steps to free him and al
facts to corroborate the Original
charge of the l. L. D. that the Inter,
borough is conspiring with the
courts to frame the worker and rail
road him to Jail.
The l. l. D. is now awaiting
Zillig's reply in order to start ar
active campaign to free him.

Questioned as to whether Poland

pected, because Polish-Lithuanian
war could not be localized"
The president further calls for

Anti Horthy League
Hits White Terror

In a statement issued yesterday
by the Anti-Horthy League, protest
is made against the action of the
United States statH department in
refusing a visa to Michael Karolyi,
former president of the Hungarian
Republic. and the admittance to this
country of Give hundred represen-
tatives of the bloody Horthy gov
eminent" is cited as tending to prove
the policy of the state department
of allowing only extreme reaction
aries to enter and express opinion in
the United States"
The Anti-Horthy League, which
represents large portion of the
Hungarian population here, further
declares in its statement its inten-
ton of arranging a large demon
stration upon the arrival of Karolyi
in New York harbor, as protest
against the action of the state de.
partment. Karolyi, according tc
the ruling Of that department, is
permitted to remain in this country
only pending the arrival of the shiI
upon which he will sail for Spain.
The statement says, in part:
"In March, 1928, five hundred
representatives of the bloody Horthy
government gained admittance tt
the United States, in spite of theil
being the Representatives of the
White Terror and the prosecutors
Of Jews and workers. Not only die
the state department grant them ad
mittance, but government. state ant
CITY officials extended to them ar
official welcome on their trip, whose
purpose was to obtain loan in or
der to prolong the bloody rule Of

50 LIFE GUARDS
UNABLE TO SWIM
Tammany Officials in
New Graft

You don't need to know how to
swim to qualify as life guard in
Brooklyn - provided you know
James J. Byrne, borough president.
You may have the floating prof.
cheney of a ton of rock in Queens
and still secure an appointment
provided, this time, you have at
least once shaken hands with Dor
ough President Bernard NJ. Patten.
In short fifteen life guards on
beaches in Brooklyn and Queens, it
has just been discovered, were I'M
able to swim. Eighteen who could
swim like ducks--on land-refused
to be tested in the water and dis
appeared when the Municipal Civil
Service Commission attempted to
examine them.
The appointments of these young
swimming prodigies, according to
the two Tammany borough chiefs,
were made only because there was
a great dearth of life guards on
the beaches which daily are becom-
ing more crowded.
"The protection of life is of lit
tie consequence when it comes to
doing out political patronage" de-
clared H. Eliot Kaplan, secretary
of the Civil Service Reform Asso-
citation, an organization that has
urged that the position of life
guard be placed on the competitive
list.
But what would Tammany be
without its little friendships. Let
the people drown!

development of the colonies. The
truth is, the speaker continued, that
capitalisV has no other object in
the colonies but winning profits.
The social democracy also rejects
the self-determination principle for
colonial peoples. The Brussels reso-
luton is filled, not with a socialist,
but with an imperialist spirit.
The second international receives
representatives of the Kuomintang
.nurderers of the Chinese workers.
The resolution does not contain a
word about Egypt, meaning, the
speaker pointed out, that the British
labor party is prepared, when in
power, to continue MacDonald's
policy towards Egypt. This shows
that the aim of the ocial-democratic
colonial policy is to corrupt sec
ton of the colonial peoples for i'm
perialism.
Forced Labor Justified"
The resolution condemns forced
labor, but Jouhaux, the speaker said,
declares that forced labor is abso-
lutely necessary. The GROWING
scandal came with the proposal to
place the colonies under the protec-
torate of the League of Nations
The social-democratic colonial pol
icy is based on imparialist colonial
policy. The Brussels congress
showed that the social democracy is
an agent of imperialism. We must
show this fact to the masses of
colonial peoples and convince them
that the only path to freedom is
under the leadership of the Com
munist international, the speaker
said.

Greek Elections On

Soldiers Guard Poll

ATHENS, Aug. 17.-Great IN
rest throughout Greece marks the
approach of the national elections, in
which the present dictator, Venize-
los, will run for president. Sunday
is election day and the polls will be
guarded by Venizelos' soldiers, with
virtual state of military law.
Opposing factions led by former
finance minister Kalandaris, will
give the election a semblance of a
contest, but the real opposition in
the form of the tobacco workers and
sympathising workers and sailors,
who were ruthlessly suppressed by
the dictator, are not likely to find
much representation if Venizelos
remains.
