WORKERS
SEEKING JOBS
ARE ARRESTED
Clubs Are Substituted
for Relief

Tammany Hall sent its policemen
against several hundred unemployed
young workers who gathered in front
of the Eagle Pencil Co., 14th st. and
Avenue D, to ask for work yesterday.
Four were arrested.
The company advertised for work
ers Monday and Tuesday but its doors
were shut yesterday in the faces of
all who applied The workers stood
in the street shouting, 1--WE want
work." and eve are hungry"
Their presence and the quick dis
patch of the police detail to the scene
at the request of the company officers
were graphic demonstration of the
seriousness of the unemployment
crisis and the intentions of Mayor
Walkers administration toward New
York's thousands of unemployed
workers.
Many Deceived.
Many workers have been deceived
by the preparation Of statistics on un-
employment by the New York city
and state governments and by such
gestures as Mayor Walkers recent
bally-hoo radio speech delivered from
a Bowery mission before hand
picked audience of mission stiffs."
When the young workers continued
to demand work and wages at the
Eagle Pencil Co. the officials sent
Edward Eichorn, special company
guard, to disperse them. He ordered
a group out of the employment Of
flee of the company and later men
aced the crowd outside with a pistol,
according to several of the workers.
He precipitated a disturbance in
which window was broken.
Police Use Clubs.
New York police by that time had
arrived. They swung their clubs to
disperse the workers and arrested Jo-
seph Brown, 10 years old, 125 Second
Ave; Sophie Mehlman, Is, of 614
Ashford St., Brooklyn; Benjamin Ros-
enberg, 81, of 317 E. 18th St., and
Samuel Kessler, 20, of 1909 w. 1st

Negative or evasive replies to
Litvinoy's questions would be tanta-
mount to reducing to nought all of
the labors and efforts of the commits
sion and everybody would then be en-
titled to make this institution a laugh
ing-stock, fravda says.
"The Soviet project will clearly
show the toilers of the world that
the Soviet governments policy of
peace and real disarmament finds an
obstacle in the imperialist policy.
"The Soviet government does not
believe that the imperialists love
peace and by no means shares the IL
lusions of bourgeois pacifism, but it
will never desist from everywhere
manifesting it's set will for peace and
conducting a struggle for world peace,
fully realizing that its propositions
embody the most cherished hopes of
the toiling masses of the world"

Meanwhile the democratic party

!. R. T. DISMISSES
UNION PRESIDENT
Lets Out Worker With
Record Of % Years

The Interborough Rapid Transit
Company yesterday continued its
campaign of union busting against the
Amalgamated Association by dis
charging William Thompson, pres
ident of the local union of the trac-
ton workers.
Thompson, who has been in the
service of the Interborough without
an accident, it is said, was first sus-
pended from the Brotherhood, the
company union. This automatically
is followed by discharge from the
company.
Thompson, according to previous re-
ports, had been warned to stop his
dealings with the union. When ask
ed why he had not been discharged
earlier as had been threatened, Pa
trick Connolly, president of the COM
pany union, was suspiciously evasive.
"We wanted to give him plenty of
rope" he finally explained.
The relations of Thompson to the
company have created considerable
question during the past few months.
He was able to come and go to the
union headquarters unmolested by the
company while scores Of other work
ers were being fired.
Those who know his relations to
the Amalgapated Union officials and
who have learned how he came to be
appointed" president of the local
while other officers were forced out,
have raised certain questions about

at time when the prosperity myth
has been exploded by the existence
of 100000 unemployed workers, by
the existence of bread lines in New
York City and in other parts of the
country. What the Freiheit predicted

in Ocotal Bombing

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 21si
More than three hundred Nicara-'
guans were killed when marine planes
bombed the town of Murra on Nom
day, according to reports received
here The Nicaraguan casualties are
reported to have been heavier than
in the bombing of Ocotal last year,
when three hundred men, women and
children were killed by American
bombing planes.
A ground force of marines which
entered the town after the bombing
discovered it completely in ruins. The
town was bombarded on the sus-
picion that it was occupied by the
forces of General Sandino, nationalist
leader.
(Murra is a little mining town
about thirty miles north of El Chi
pote, which was formerly occupied by
the nationalist troops.)

Especial Cable to DAILY WORKER)
MOSCOW, March 1.-Losovsky's
report to the Fourth World Congress
of Red International of Labor Unions
was discussed at yesterdays session.
"Losovsky correctly pointed out
that our work in Germany showed GER
tain fright" errors, which we has
tened to correct" declared Heckert,
Of Germany. "We were also guilty
of '1eftist" errors, in regard to the
question of the eight hour day, for
example.
Regarding the latter question,
however we cannot agree with the
slogan of the seven hour day raised
by Losovsky. This slogan does not
correspond to the concrete correla-
tion of forces in Germany"
Hetkert then criticized Losovsky's
view, declaring that Losovsky had
exaggerated the success of the revo-
lutionary opposition in the German
trade unions last year and declared
that the development of the r. |. L..
U. and the defeat of the Amsterdam
international, ideologically and or
ganizationally, was necessary.
Horner of England pointed out that
the economic situation of Great
Britain was continually declining

struggle on two fronts" he declared
