SKINNER SKINS
RECORDS GOING
AFTER TRUANT

Harry Skinner, county attendance
officer, is recovering his wind to-
day after an exciting steeple chase
Yesterday in which he finally came
eff winner.
A small boy, 10 years old or so,
refused to go to school so his dis
tracted mother sent for Skinner.
When the lad saw the officer he
bolted but later in the morning
Skinner and B. NJ. Gruwell, driving
out West Main street caught a
glimpse of the youngster doing a
cross-country over a ploughed field.
Nothing dauntod Skinner DOTTED
his coat, jumped the fence and went
after the boy, trying to head him
off toward the road. Over and under
three barbed wire fences went the
quarry, Skinner hot after him,
across the ploughed field and into
sn alfalfa patch, doubling and turn
ing, trying to get back toward town,
sprinted the voungster.
At last Skinner made a dive like
baseball player sliding home and
flat on his face, grasped a portion
Of the boy rear garments, just as
he shot under fourth barbed wire
fence.
The attendance officer was too
far gone to talk by this time but
up came Gruwell and asked the
young Marathoner why he ran.
"Didn t wanna get beat up by
you two big guys he muttercd res
entfully.
1t developed that the poor child
had had more than his share of the
hickory stick, but when it was ex
planned to him that nobody wanted
to beat him up he went more or
less resignedly back to school. Both
Skinner and Gruwell think he will
stay there now he understands the
whole world is not against him.

BIRMINGHAM, England, Oct. 2,
With police guarding all doors to
prevent the entrance of Communists,
one delegate, j. NJ. Kenworthy, lieu

clared before the officials of the La

HUTCHINSON GANG
BEATS UP R0SEN
Militant Carpenter on
Way to Convention

Especial to the Daily Worker)
LAKELAND, Florida, (By MaiD.
Two thugs acting, it is believed, at
the orders of the Hutcheson machine
in the Carpenters Union broke into
the stateroom of Morris Rosen, pro-
gressive carpenter leader of New
York City and brutally assaulted
him with a bottle. Rosen was hit
on the head and body. His face and
head were badly cut up.
The attack was made aboard the
steamer, "Iroquois" of the Clyde
Line, on which Rosen and about 100
delegates were enroute to the con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Car
penters now in session here.
Opposed Hutcheson.
Rosen was formerly president
of Local 376 of New York City and
ran against the reactionary William
L. Hutcheson for president four
years ago. He was on his way to
present an appeal to the convention
in behalf of Local 376 which the
Hutcheson machine had wrecked and
number of whose members it has
expelled from the union.
Progressive forces on board the
ship mostly from New York, New
Jersey, Rhode Island and Massachu-
sets Immediately began to make
contact with the other delegates. A
printed appeal of Local 376 was
distributed and created considerable
interest among the delegates.
Members of the Massachusetts,
delegation reported how Hutcheson
had forced the membership in the
Newton district to work a 44-hour
week even though a 40-hour week
was then in force. The case was
that of a $2,000,o0O construction
job, operated by Murch Bros, on
which the firm insisted that the
men work A hours. When the men
refused, the firm appealed to
Hutcheson who informed the district
that he had given permission to the
boss to increase hours. A protest
by the district was followed by a
threat from Hutcheson to revoke
the district union charter.
Rosen was attended by the ship
doctor and removed to another cabin
where he was watched over by the
ship watchman. Ray Clark, of the
dock-builders' local of New York
City was recognized as one of the
two thugs who attacked Rosen.

A general membership meet

Workers (Communist) Party,
District 2, filled the Central
Opera House to overflowing
last night to hear Jay Love
stone, executive secretary of
the Party, report on the Sixth
Congress of the Communist
international.
Workers were already stand
ing in the aisles when William
w. Weinstone, organizer of District
2, and chairman of the gathering,
opened the meeting by stating that
Lovestone would make his report
on the activities of the World Con-
gress, exclusive of the report or
the American situation which will
be made at the next Party Con-
gress after the election.
Tremendous applause greeted
Lovestone as he rose to make a re-
port which stressed in succession
the major features of the program
laid down by the Communist Inter
national for the present period.
He discussed in turn the decisions
of the Communist International il
regards to the colonial movement

democracy, trade union work, ant
the Trotskyist opposition.
The imminent danger confronting

POLICE BREAK UP
COMMUNIST MEET
Nearing WasScheduled
to Speak
Especial to the Daily Worker

Especial to the Daily Worker
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 2.-Po-
lice today broke up a meeting of the
Workers (Communist) Party held
at Warwood, near here, at which
Scott Nearing, well-known Commu-
mist writer, was to have spoken.
The police visited the owner of the
hall, threatening the arrest of all
who attended the meeting. Citizens
of the place were terrorized by an
cxhiBitioif of arms in front of the
meeting place. No one was per-
nitted to enter the hall.
The attack by the police followed
the distribution of leaflets at three
mines of the Constanzzo Coal Com
pany by a committee in charge of
The local Communist campaign. The
terrorism by the police is taken as
a confirmation of the dictatorship
of the coal barons and the steel
trust, which the miners have learned
to know so well.
Police authorities, it is learned
here, are making intensive prepara-
tions to break up the Nearing meet
ing scheduled for Wheeling on Oc-
I'tober 5.
A telegram of protest was sent
to the governor of West Virginia,
in which the attack on the meeting
was reported, and demand made
upon the governor that he declare
himself in the matter of the terror
istic acts by the police.

ROTE
FAHNE IN Vienna
Com m unists Charged
With SeditiOn

VIENNA, Oct. 2.-.The Rote
Fahne, official organ of the Com
munist Party of Austria, was con-
fiscated today for publishing an
article supporting the Communist
slogan, calling for the arming of
the proletariat to resist the fas-
cist provocative parade scheduled
for October 7. The public prose-
cutor charges the editors of the
Rote Fahne with sedition.
The government has approved
the march of the fascist organ
ization but has prohibited the
counter demonstration of the
workers of Vienna and Vienna
Neustadt. The fascist organiza-
tion, the Home Defense Corps,
will be armed, even having been
supplied with rifles from the gov
ernment arsenal, machine guns
and, it is reported, a few air
planes.

gun hardly eight hours after
the last vote was cast at a few
minutes before five yesterday.
Twenty-six thousand strik-
ers who had no part in the lit
tie voting bee heard with
amusement today the despairing
charges of unfairness in yesterdays
balloting which emanated from Bat
ty and sources close to him.
The notorious manner in which
the Batty clique have consistently
maneuvered past votes in their own
interests and those of their employ
ers, lends a peculiar piquancy to
their accusations of unfairness in
what is virtually the first vote which
rank and file pressure, and the
watchful presence of the New Bed
ford Textile Workers Union, vastly
outnumbering them, forced to an
approximation of fairness.
The specific lies which the Batty
group are circulating assert that the
last vote on the wage cut was cast
about four o'clock in the afternoon
and that between that hour and five
strikers were rot permitted to bal
lot.
Leaders of the New Bedford Tex
tile Union today stated that the
statements of the Batty group are
sheer lies, made out of the whole
CLOTH" and stated that they had been
suggested to the desperate, officials
of the dying Textile Council by the
wording of the vote call which read
that all unions must complete their
balloting before five o'clock. They
scout as ridiculous the idea that
even reversed vote of the mori-
bund U. T. w. would have any eff
feet on the strike since 26,000 strik-
ers did not participate in yester-
days poll.

Kase, Militant Seaman,
Principal Speaker

X. Kase, leader of the left wing
in the Japanese Seamen's Union,
who has Just arrived here from
Japan, will expose the terrible
White Terrorist regime of the
Tanaka government and tell of the
militant struggle of the workers and
peasants to reorganize the Worker
Peasant Party, the Trade Union
Council, and other left @ing organ
izations recently suppressed by the
government in an effort to curb the
growing rehabilitation of the Japan
csc masses, when he speaks tonight
at the Labor Temple, 14th st. and
Second Ave, at a mass meeting ar
ranged by the New York branch of
the Japanese Workers Association.
"The Tanaka government, which
represents the militarists and big
bourgeois elements in Japan, is
striving by every possible means to
suppress the growing and ever
sharpening proletarian movement in
Japan" declared Kase when inter-
viewed yesterday. despite the new
imperial edict making it easy to
condemn militant leaders of the
masses to death, despite the dis
bandment of the militant labor and
political organizations, and despite
the mass arrests numbering tens of
thousands of workers and peasants,
we are marching forward and our
movement is growing larger and
stronger day by day.
Support Chinese Masses.

struggle of the workers and pea

he said in commenting upon the
/ Chinese situation. owe realize that
every blow struck by the Chinese
proletariat against Japanese imper-
ialism helps US i'll our fight, for
Japanese imperialism is our COM
mon enemy. The growing war dan
ger in the Pacific cannot be over
emphasized. The working masses
in the countries bordering on the
Pacific, especially those of America,
Japan and China, must be drawn
closer together and prepared for
their common struggle against i'm
perialism and imperialist war"

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 2 (Delayed).
IVA Members Of the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Young

staged reception for All Smith
when he spoke here Sunday which
the Tammany Hall politicians did
not expect.
The Communists conducted a
four-hour open-air meeting in a
vacant lot across from the audi
torium in which the Smith meet
ing was being held. Cline of
Chicago and SkIar, sub-district
organizer of this city, addressed
about 500 workers from a large
truck beasing Communist signs
and slogans. The workers lis
tened attentiveIy to the speakers.
When the Smith meeting was
over, about 1,500 workers gath
cred about the Communist plat
form. Smith agents, reinforced
by socialists and wobblies, made
several Intellectual efforts to
break up the gathering.
The workers were sympathetic
throughout and applauded the ex-
posure of Smith, Hoover and
Thomas. The speakers touched on
the subjects of unemployment,
defense of the Soviet Union, and
explained the program of the
Communists. Over one hundred
copies of the Workers Party Plat
form were sold at the meeting.
