WORKERS DEFY
FASCIST AGENT
Mass at City Hall and
Denounce Reception

Defying the heavy Gordon of police
who made liberal use of clubs and
blackjacks, 200 workers gave Italo
Balbo, one of Mussolini's chief
murderers, now visiting this country,
one of "the warmest" receptions of
his life when he arrived at City Hall
yesterday afternoon.
For hours in advance police were
stationed around City Hall, threat
ening workers in the vicinity and Of
ficiously looking for "bombs." When
Balbo emerged from his heavily
guarded car, accompanied by Grover
Whalen, Tammany's new silk-hat
police commissioner, he turned to
wave to the crowd, expecting cheers.
Instead he was met with scores of
clenched fists raised aloft, Kisses and
shouts of hatred, while banners bear
ing slogans in English and Italian
were lifted high.
Militant Slogan.
''Down with Fascism!" "Down
with Balbo, Fascism's Hangman!"
"We Demand Freedom for Granci
and Terracini, Victims of Fascism!"
Gree the $4,000 Workers Rotting in
Fascist Jails!" "Down with I'M
perialism, Fascism, Hoover and
Balbo!" "We the American Workers,
Express Our Solidarity with the
Workers of italy," "The Interna-
tional Labor Defense Fights Fas-
cism!" "Join the Anti-Fascist AL
lance of North America" These
and other slogans stared the
murderer of hundreds of Italian
workers and peasants in the face.
The demonstration was arranged by
the International Labor Defense and
the Anti Fascist Alliance.
The police Immediately got on the
job and began breaking up the
demonstrators, tearing their slogans
and beating several of them. Harry
Eisenman, a member of the Young
Workers League, was pulled out by
a policeman, who led him away from
the demonstration, took him into a
hallway, smashed him in the face
and then told him to "beat it. No
arrests were made, the police evil
dently having orders to avoid the
odorous publicity that would result
if any of the workers came to trial.
Distribute ''Daily"
The 200 demonstrators were Joined
by many other workers in the vicin-
ity, who greeted the appearance of
Balbo either with Kisses or stony
silence. Leaflets denouncing Italian
fascism, and the Daily Worker were
distributed and eagerly read.
Balbo, finding the welcome some
what different from what he had
expected, had meanwhile gone into
the City Hall, to emerge about a half
hour later surrounded by a group
of about 20 fascists. Thereupon
another demonstration was held, the
blackshirts taunting the demonstra-
tors who replied by shouting their
slogans and kissing.
The entire demonstration then
marched singing the International
to "Il Progresso Italo-Americano," a
fascist newspaper at AZ Elm st.
Here another demonstration was
held for about Is minutes.
Again no arrests were made.

MEET TONIGHT
FOR TOMBSTONE
Speakers WillDenounce
Imperialism, New War

The fact that Jack Johnstone,
representative of the Anti-Imperial-
list League, is in Jail in India, and
in danger of his life, from British
imperialism, and that American
imperialism is rushing through war
plans in Congress today, lends an
air of emergency to the mass pro-
test meeting being held here to-
night, under auspices of the All
American Anti-Imperialist League.
Johnstone was arrested for speak
ing at the All-India Congress of
Trade Unions.
All the forces fighting against
imperialism in Greater New York
will combine tonight at Irving
Plaza. Hall, 18th st. and Irving Pl.,
to voice expression against Hoov-
er's trip to Latin America, Amer
lean imperialism in Bolivia and
Paraguay, and also against the in
generation of Jack Johnstone in
India by British imperialists. Hun
dreds of men and women workers
are expected to gather in the great
est anti-war rally held in this city.
Military Roads.
Hoover's revealed plans for mo-
tor highways to South America are
regarded as further evidence on the
part of Wall Street financiers to
help complete economic and politi-
cal enslavement of the neighboring
countries.
In view of the elaborate and
brazen militaristic preparations
now being precipitated by the War
Department, the meeting tonight
assumes special significance for
the American working class.
One of the glaring war measures
being pushed through congress at
this time is that to increase the pay
of officers and enlisted men. An
other piece of legislation deals with
forwarding to private manufactur-
crs educational" orders for ammu-
milton. These "educationar' orders
consist of artillery. machine guns,
bombs, airplane sights and gigantic
searchlights. 1t is the contention
of the sponsors of this bill that the
private manufacturers will help in
an emergency in the production of
war supplies. In reality the plan
is to mobilize more war supply CEN
ters in anticipation of the coming
imperialist war.
Many Speakers.
Among the speakers tonight will
be Scott Nearing; George Pershing;
Carl Reeves of the Labor Defender;
Robert Minor, editor of thc Daily
Worker; William z. Foster, speak
ing for the T. U. E. l.. against the
arrest of Jack Johnstone in India by
British imperialists: Carmen Gil
Martinez, fragile girl Of nineteen,
who is the heroine of the revolt
against the imperialist dictatorship
in Venezuela, now a factory girl do
ing embroidery work for S15 week;
Paul Crouch, national secretary OF
the U. S. Section of the All-Amer-
lea Anti-Imperialist League, and
Harriet Silverman, secretary of the
New York branch Of the League.
Robert Dunn will preside.
The meeting is held under the
auspices Of the New York Branch,
All America Anti = Imperialist
League. 799 Broadway.

C. {. B. Meeting
Workers Crowd Office
as New Union Heads
Begin Work
Committees Organized
Next Meet to Consider
Dress Strike

The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union swung into acticr
Immediately after the convention
establishing it had ended. While
all the out-of-town delegates were
yet in town full plenum of the
General Executive Board was
called yesterday at 16 W. 21st st.
Before the meeting was over,
provisions were made for the or
ganization of the various commit
tees on the board which will carry
out the manifold activities of the
new organization.
2 Negroes on Board.
Just as the convention had
marked a departure from the con-
ventions of the old corrupt unions,
so did this G. E. B. meeting. In
stead of crowd of dissipated faces
of old time bureaucrats, as are seen
at all A. F. Of L. boards those
around the long glass topped tables
here reflected the spirit of the
new unionism which they are pio-
neering.
This was Immediately observed
by the fact that two Negro work
ers, one each from the fur and the
dressmaking trades, were regular
members of the G. E. B. and that
another board member represents
the youth of the industry: They
are: Virginia Allen, dressmaker;
Henry Rosemond, furrier, and M.
Jensky, youth delegate.
Important Decisions.
Once the meeting was opened by
Louis Hyman, president of the
union, it got swiftly under way and
carried through it's business with
speed and dispatch. Some of the
important decisions of the meeting
are: .,.
That the National Office of the
union be established at 16 W. 21st
ST. and that the present cloak and
dressmakers joint board, whose
headquarters the building now is,
should obtain new headquarters in
the garment center district.
That two statements on the new
union are to be issued to the work
ers. The statements are to be man.
ifestoes, one to the workers in the
needle industry and one to the gen
eral lie or movement.
To organize Committees.
The following committees are to
be organized as G. E. B. standing
committees: Press Committee,
Finance Committee, Organization
Committee and Education Commit
tee. The Organization Committee
is to be charged with the special
work Of dealing with youth and
Negro problems. A subcommittee
Of five was chosen Immediately to
bring in recommendation to the
Board for the composition of these
committees. The subcommittee
elected consists of Charles S. Zim-
norman, Joseph Borachovich, j.
Portnoy, S. Liebowitz and A. Weiss.
The G. E. B. also decided to issue
an official union organ twice
monthly, the Press Committee to
be instructed to carry this out tech
nically.
Rose Wortis, Irving Potash and
Ben Gold were picked as an edi-
torial committee to edit the official
report OF the convention just con-
cluded. All localities were also in

For Hoover Program;
Rush 2 War Measures

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Con-
gress re-convened today for the
short session before the Hoover ad-
ministration comes in land every
thing is, proceeding according to
schedule to pass the two imperialist
war measures, the cruiser bill and
the Kellogg treaties.
Following instructions of Presi-
dent-elect Hoover, senators say, the
compromise arrangement intended to
stop the time-wasting fight for pre-
cedence of one bill or the other, and
to get down to the work of rushing
both measures went into effect to-
day.
Hale Begins.
When the senate met, and pre-
liminaries were pushed out of the
way, Chairman Hale OF the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee arose and
made speech in favor of the naval
bill. The senate then began the
business of passing the Kellogg
pacts, which are an attack upon
England's leadership of the League
of Nations by establishing new
league and American control. Borah
opened the debate on the treaties,
after Hale's speech.
