Workers Give
Greetings To
Steel Helmets

PIRMASENS, Germany, July %
Steel Helmets who attempted to
arouse militant shoe workers in the
factories during a parade here, sue
ceeded beyond their widest inten-
tions with the result that score or
more of the fascists are in hospitals
suffering from minor injuries. A
smaller number of the shoe workers
were also injured, tho most of them
declined hospital assistance.
The shoe workers, many of them
Communists, were openly tantalized
by the boos and insults of a parade
of Steel Helmets, the German fas-
cist organization. When they had
stood this treatment until their pa
tience was exhausted, they. issued
from the factory and commanded
the fascists to keep quiet. The Steel
Helmets persisted in shouting in
suits and the shoe workers quieted
them this time so effectively that
numbers were satisfied to relinquish
the parade altogether.
The shoe workers are well organ
lied and it is not believed that there
will be immediate police reprisals.
