CONNEAUT, o., (By MaiD.-
We once had a good socialist local
here, but that was before the worlds
great slaughter. We elected a
mayor whom the capitalists like so
well that they have never put any
candidate against him and he is re-
elected at every election.
However, the Socialist" party is
dead here and our real hope is the
Workers Party and the Daily
Worker. We hope our Party will
some day wake up the slumbering
proletarians. So here is SIS dona-

BOMB PLOT" GAG.
Militants Are Defying
Injunction
fBy a Worker Correspondent

KENOSHA, Wis, (By MaiD 1T
has come to our attention that in
connection with the alleged use of
violence against a scab Harold Hen
derson, that Louis F. Budenz, lead
er of the strikers, issued state
ment implying that "other forces"
besides Allen A are responsible for
this act.
In view of his statement to re-
porters on a former occasion, which
was published in two Chicago news
papers, the Tribune and the Daily
News, on or about August 26th,
that the "bombings and other acts
of violence in Kenosha, may be the
work of small group of Commu-
nists organized into the Young
Workers League" we have reason
to believe that his recent statement
is thinly yelled attempt to blame
the Communists as the "other
forces" responsible for the violence.
We want to take this occasion to
denounce the recent and past state
ments of Louis F. Budenz as at
tempts to help the Allen A Co. and
the police frame up members of our
Organization on trumped-up charges
Of violence. The Young Workers
tCommunist) League opposes the
use of individual terrorism in labor
struggles, and is in favor of the use
of mass action such as mass pick
citing, etc. We have fought against
the reactionary leadership of the
strike typified by Budenz, as be-
trayers of the heroic rank and file
strikers of Allen A Co. We have
urged the use of militant measures
such as "mass picketing in spite of
the injunction" extension of the
strike by calling out the hundreds
of.unorganized, unskilled workers of
the second Allen A mill known as
the cold mill" This fight in behalf
of the strikers and against the mis-
leadership of Louis F. Budenz ac-
counts for his campaign of SANDER
and lies against US.
+ We do not pretend to know wha
IS responsible for the acts of vio-
lence in Kenosha, but from all in
dications it has all the ear-marks of
being committed by either the thugs
of Allen A or the agents of secret
strikebreaking detective agencies.

New Law to Save New
Regime
(Red Aid Press .SerDice)

BERLIN (By MaiD. - 1t is re-
ported from Sofia that the Bulgarian
political police has arrested 40 per-
sons in a town in East Bulgaria.
The reason given is an alleged secret
conference, and the accused are
charged with offences against the
state protection law.
During the last few weeks more
than 100 persons have been arrested
under this law. The Bulgarian police
seek to substantiate all these ar
rests by claiming to have "discov-
cred plot against the state" but
has been unable to add anything to
the preliminary statement of this
discovery, obviously for lack of
proofs, which not even its torture
method have enabled it to obtain.
Many newspapers, including social
democratic, bourgeois and democratic
organs, protest against this persecu-
stion. The whole story of the fresh
conspiracy" is simply a frame-up
of Liaptscheff's new" government.

IN HOT SUN;FAINT
This Is Done to Please
Governor

(By Worker Correspondent
In one Of the recent issues of
the Daily Worker I read an ar
ticle about the national guard
camp in Peekskill.
Where the writer describes the
way the soldiers sweltering in the
hot sun in order to please the
governor, l liked it very much.
l am very glad to note that the
Daily Worker was the only paper
to write anything about it.
Just the other day a national
guardsman told me how hundreds
OF young workers are being
drawn into the organization by
false promises. He also told of
how often they drop fainting
from the military drill in the
broiling sun.
This coincidence proves again
that the Daily Worker is paper
which truly fights for the inter
ests of the working class.
Yours for the class struggle.

JINCOISTS' WAR
DEMONSTRATION
COMPLETE FLOP
But This Is What War
Department Wanted

by a Worker Correspondent
AS far as the public is concerned,
the war demonstration held Thursday
night at Times Square was "flop."
This is the exact effect which the
war department wished to produce.
So as far as the war department is
concerned, the demonstration was a
success.
AS scheduled, the upholders of our
country's honor, the National Guard,
all young fellows, looking for a
thrill, paraded to the strains Of
thrilling martial music" Surpris-
ingly, they marched up Broadway
promptly at nine o'clock, and all
the patriots rah-rahed. applause
and cheers!) After the tin soldiers
had placed anti-aircraft barrages,
consisting of powerful searchlights
and machine guns, in front of the
Paramount Theatre and the Astor
Hotel, they focused the searchlights
upon the heavens, and awaited the
attacking bombers. But alas. Then
came hitch in the proceedings. The
machine guns were ready, all was
ready, but the aeroplanes did not
arrive. Our militant army waited.
Our aeroplanes did not arrive. Fin
ally in righteous evaporation the
machine gun companies began fir
ing into the air at nothing at all.
With the aid of the searchlights,
the companies managed to shoot
few thousand holes in the atmos-
phere.
The guns damned after every five
shots and after ten minutes of this
farce such remarks as these were
head from the spectators: "We'd all
be dead by the time you guys got
ready" Where's our protection?"
This is exactly what the militarists
wish so that they may get larger
appropriations for more ornaments
to kill workers in the next war.

down on my critical head the wrath

that the play by Jean-Jacques Ber-

Ernest Boyd is as trifling piece as

Gallienne walked forty or fifty stage
miles in an attempt to express her
discomfort over the monotony of her
life, tied to a spouse who manufac-
tured something or other. A woman
has perfect right to feel that way
but the wife of an American Ro-
tartan would do something about it
besides pound the floor of what
seemed to me eternity.
A more inanimate play would be
hard to discover. One ceases to give
darn what is going to happen
after the end of the first act. And
nothing really happens.
Here is the story in brief: Marie
Louise, The daughter of a wealthy
manufacturer is married to Olivier
Mailly, who is taken into the bust
ness and manages it successfully.
Like such types in American life he
is so busily engaged making money
that he has no time even for the

became the more desirable of two
bores, the party of the second part
being her husband.
If Marie-Louise paced the floor as
persistently during the twenty-six
months that the nail manufacturer
was away, as her impersonator did
at the Repertory, she should not
worry about taking on excess avoir-

exceedingly irritating.
When the nail manufacturer re-
turns and resumed his conversation
about the nice points of thumb tacks,

men were pretty much of a pattern
and that the devil she lived with

BEIRUT, Syria (By Mail)-When
