British Jobless, Lured
To Canada, Starved and
|Deported Under Guard

Under armed guard, subject to ar
rest if they leave their cars, SO
farm laborers are being deported
through Ottowa back to England
from whence they came, lured by
false promises, and starvation at
home.
Interviewed by Ottawa papers, the
deportees stated:
eve want work, but we won't
work for $40 and SIS a month.
That's all we were offered. We
were told back in England we
could get $40 and $50 month at
farm laboring over here. !"
The majority of the deportees de-
clare that they do not wish to leave
Canada if they are given an OPP
portunity to earn a living here, but
that they have been forced to choose
between the alternative of starva-
ton and deportation. They also
complain that in order to obtain
their passage home, they have been
required to sign statements certi-
flying that they have refused to &C
cept employment; and that these
statements will debar them from
obtaining unemployment relief on
their return to England.
About 200 more are on the way to
Ottawa for return to England.

Workers School announces series
of special training courses for the
development of trade union func-

Among these courses are: His
tory of the American Labor Move
ment, given by Vern Smith on Fri
day evening from 7 to $40 p. m.
Under the direction Of Robert Dunn,
a symposium course on American
Trade Union Problems for every
Monday evening from 7 to 500 p. m.
will be given, Analysing the condi-
ton of the various industries in re-
lation to their national or interna-
tional character, the extent of mer-
ger and the monopolization in the
industry, the degree of boss organ
ization, and the program of the re-
voultionary trade union movement
For this class leading writers and
trade union organizers in each of
the industrial fields will address the
class.
In addition to the above classes
there are courses offered in Marx
ist-Leninist theory, Labor Journal

a course for secretaries of organi-
cations. Very nominal fees are

nit individual acts of terror. 1t is
also the Story of the rise to class
consciousness of the younger Rus
sian-Jewish generation at the be-
ginning of this century-against the
orthodox fanaticism Of their elders
and against the oppression of car
ism. And for this reason this film
is we'll worth seeing. There are
many fine touches of directorial
genius and the Interpretation is bril-
liant throughout.
The Soviet cinema has spoiled
many of US. We have come to ex-
pect only "Potemkins" and "Ten

"Seeds of Freedom" Power of

But you'll enjoy it immensely just

Defy Attempt to Bar
Communist Meets

Union, the combined attack of the
capitalist state, the employers and
reactionary union officials on the
militant unions, and the joint gang
sterism of the socialists and Zionists.
Owing to the increasingly aggres-
sive mood among the working mass
es, these enemies of the working
class are sharpening their attacks
on the militant organizations of the
workers, especially on the Com
munist Party. Among the manifest
ations of this is the gangsterism of
the Jewish fascists-carried on I'M
der the protection of the police and
the increasing police terrorism in
this city, which was particularly
sharp in the last few weeks in the
Negro section in Harlem.
The brutality of the Tammany
police against Negroes is we'll
known, and found expression a few
days ago in the shooting of a Negro
student by patrolman off duty as
a result of an alteration which took
place between them when the Negro
dared to take the seat next to the
patrolman on an elevated train. The
Tammany police declared that the
Communist Party cannot hold meet
ings on Seventh and Lenox AYES,
in Harlem, in the Negro section.
The Communist Party, the only
Party which really fights against
race discrimination as it fights
against every oppression Of the
workers, must not carry its mes
sage of struggle and class solidarity
to the Negro workers, is the edict
of Tammany Hall.
Beginning with Aug. 10, the police
have repeatedly broken up meetings
of the Communist Party and Young
Communist League held at 13Sth St.
and Seventh Ave-, arresting the
speakers and the comrades in charge
of the meetings. More than half
dozen meetings were thus broken
up by the police, resulting in a total
of over thirty comrades placed under
arrest. That there is no justifica-
ton for this police action even I'M
der the capitalist law, is proven by
the fact that all the speakers were
either discharged by the police court
or their cases were postponed time
and again.
The RED Night" in Harlem on
Friday is an answer to this terror
ism. This Tammany terrorism, the
Campaign Committee statement de-
clares, is an attack on the rights of
beth Negro and white workers, and
the Communist Party will mobilize
all its forces, if necessary, to defeat
this attack. On Friday night, meet
ings will be held at the following
points: On Lenox Ave, at 138th
st. and 142nd St; on Seventh Ave-,
at lend and 18th and 140tL SITS.
The meetings will be addressed by
prominent speakers, including Will
liam z. Foster, William Weinstone,
Otto Hall, Richard Moore, Robert
Minor, A. Markoff, Harold Williams
and many others.
Saturday night will be "Red

British Imperialism
Steals March on u. S.
I'm 'sPeace Offensive

Press correspondents in Geneva
have been told "authoritatively"
that the British delegation, headed
by Arthur Henderson of the labor
party, will this week or next antici-
pate the American peace offensive
by one of their own. The British
imperialist move will be motion to
have the League of Nations
preparatory disarmament" commits
sion convene in November, before
their U. S. rivals can act.
This will tend to give control of
the negotiations to the British in
fluenced league, and reduce the inn
portance of U. S., and any prestige
that may result from calling the
conference, which of course will not
actually disarm any imperialist
powers.
The preparatory commission is
expected to propose supervision of
war budgets, and international con-
troll of war materials, two things
it is believed the Hoover admins
tration viii never agree to.
Free" State Backs Britain.
Patrick McGilligan, foreign min
lister of the Irish Free State, and
its representative in the league as
sembly, stated yesterday that he
would vote for the British proposal
to give financial assistance to states
whose wars the league approves.
This is further support fo~ Hender-
sons form of the conspiracy against
the Soviet Union.
Prime Minister Ramsay Mac
Donald of the British Labor Party
yesterday declared in a speech at
Durham, England, that 1--WE are
making no alliance with America,
that ought to be clearly stated" He
alluded to the possibility of failure
of the Dawes-M Macdonald negotia-
lions on arms limitations, expressed
pious hope that they would not fail,
and then said: eve are not going
to run like a bull at a hedge" in
speeding up the negotiations.
