The Seamen's Institute, that off
spring of missionary enterprise"
against the seamen. hotel where
seamen are soaked for their rooms
and abused when they do not take
any scab job that comes along, COM
mitted the latest of its outrages last
night.
Two seamen, barred from the in
stitution for some reason, early in
the evening, sought to enter, and
on being spotted by the Seamen's
Institute guard, were brutally
dubbed and nearly killed. One man
was so badly beaten over the head
that he was drenched with his own
blood, and at first was thought to
have been killed. The other was
also badly injured.
The names of the men beaten
are William Barnshal and Walter
Mcdonald. They were taken to the
54th Street Magistrates Court and
charged with disorderly conduct.
Their case was put over to August
30, in the First Criminal Court.
The magistrates court was filled
with angry seamen who demanded
release of the arrested men, and
would not leave until it was an
nounced that bail had been set at
$500, which the l. L. D. is trying
to raise.
The attack started when a plain
clothes man hired by the Seamen's
Institute tried to throw out a sea-
man whom he said chad made
trouble there" He punched the
man and fight started. The in
stitute's uniformed policeman then
went into the office and got two
clubs, and the two private cops then
beat up the first man and the man
who was with him.
Instead of taking the murderous
guard to prison, the police dragged
these two workers off to night
court.
Huge Meeting Starts.
Several seamen witnesses of the
assault protested, and in a short
time huge meeting was in process,
amounting to about 1000 workers.

BERLIN (By MaiI. - Last Sun
day an international Red Aid meet
ing took place in Mannheim. A pro-
cession marched through the town
with uniformed Red Front-fighters
in closed ranks and with uniformed
groups of the Swiss Workers De-

the police to arrest the uniformed
demonstrators were countered by
the energetic resistance of the DEM
onstrators.
Only after the concentration Of
strong forces of the police was the
demonstration broken up, the uni
formed Red Front-fighters arrested
and the Swiss comrades sent over
the frontier. Immediately after
wards a second procession was form

marched to the local authorities
and demanded the immediate release
of the arrester Red Front-fighters.
Their demands were granted.

today.
The Southern Textile Work
ers' Conference of the National
Textile Workers Union, at Besse-
mer City, today, brought far more
than the anticipated response. There
were 230 delegates, from 55 mills,
located in % towns of North Caro-
lima, present when the meeting was
called to order. In addition there
were delegations from Elizabeth
ton, and Erwin, Tenn; from Green's
vile, Clover and Gaffney, S. C.
Over a thousand mill vyt~kers
and strikers from Bessemer City,
Gastonia, Charlotte, and surrounds
ing mill towns, were in the au-
dience.
In harmonious, but determined,
even enthusiastic manner, the
Southern Textile Conference planned
the organization of the southern
mill workers into the fighting Ma
tional Textile Workers Union and
planned the defense of the % strik-
ers and organizers charged with
murder or assault because of the
fatal wounding of Chief of Police
Aderholt, when he tried to lead a
murderous raid on the Gastonia
strikers tents, June 7.
From the beginning the organiza-
tion ard defense work at the con-
ference went on simultaneously. The
mill workers all know that these
men and women charged with mur-
der and assault, and slated for the
ELECTRIC chair or long prison terms,
are the heroes of the working class,
were risking their lives to defend
the right Of the workers of the
south to organize, and that this is
the only reason the bosses have
for their desire to electrocute them.
One of the main speakers today
at the conference was DR.. John RAN
dolph Neal, of counsel for the de-
fense. He pointed out that the strik-
ers were going to insist in court
that they had every right to organ
ize for their self protection against
reign of terror that had been in
stituted. against them by the en-
ployers. They have a right to post
tickets, to arm these pickets, and to
shoot when attacked by gunner,
even if police lead the gangsters,
was Meals argument, and very
satisfactory argument to the great
audience and delegates who heard
him. Neal pointed out that the em-
ployers had covered North Carolina
and especially CASTOR county, with
a flood of propaganda against the
Communists, atheists, foreigners
and strikers" and would seek in
spite of all protestations to the con-
trary, to lynch by form of law these
workers on trial.
William z. Foster spoke on the
organization and defense of the tex
tile workers and called for the con-
ference to support the Trade Union
Unity Convention, at Cleveland,

ANOTHER VICTORY
Shop Delegates Meet
Tomorrow Night

The workers of the Carman Shoe

accede to their demands after a
strike which lasted only a few
hours.
The men walked out at the call
of the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, demanding recognition of the
union, the 44-hour week and an in
crease in pay. So effective was the
strike that within ten minutes after
the walkout was declared, not one
of the workers was at his bench,
with the result that by the after
noon of the same day the bosses had
granted all the demands of the
workers.

The speakers were continually in
terrupted by cries from a band of
Kuomintang hangers-on, especially
when they condemned the Kuomin-

perialism."

were Y. Y. Hsu, of the
Alliance for the Support of the
Workers and Peasants Revolution
in China; H. T. Liu, acting national
secretary of the Chinese Students

On the Road to
August 1!

The reply of the workers of
the world to the insolent imper-
ialist attack on the workers and
peasants of the Soviet Union will
be tremendous mass strikes and
demonstrations on August First,
international Red Day Against
Imperialist War and for the De-
fense of the Soviet Union.
In every imperislist country
the statesmen, the diplomats, the
generals, admirals, the bankers
and industrialists and all their
retainers are feverishly prepar-
ing for another imperialist world
war. Only the action of the
masses can defeat the war plots.
On last Thursday evening at
the conference of trade unions
and other working class bodies
called by the Communist Party
definite, permanent Organiza-
tion was created to fight against
imperialist war. Only a few days
remain to complete the mobiliza-
tiOn of the workers for the great
est demonstrations against i'm
perialist war this country has
ever seen.
Workers Of the City of New
York; Demonstrate against i'm
perialist war! Down tool. at 4
o'clock in the afternoon of Au-
gust 1, march to Union Square
and demonstrate against imper-
ialist war and in defense of the
Soviet Union that is at this mo-
ment being attacked by the muir
derous Chinese hirelings of i'm
perialism who. in serving their
masters, the international bank
ers and ;ndustrialists, have al
ready been guilty of mass mur-
ders of the very flower of the
working class of China.
A part of the war preparations
is the drive of the American i'm
perialist government to destroy
the working class organizations
and to prevent the organizing of
the unOrganized masses in the in
dustries. The Gastonia workers
who are today standing trial in
the shadow of the electric chair
are victims of this attempt to
crush militant labor. This week
is of tremendous Importance to
the working class inasmuch as
the attempt to railroad these
workers to the electric chair en-
ters its second stage, the stage
of the trials, at the same time
workers everywhere are fighting
against imperialist war.
