they fail to register with the Inter
national. When these threats failed
to have any affect on the workers,
the International sent a band of
gangsters to the shop on Friday.
These gangsters attacked Jacobs
with knives and blackjacks, cracked
his skull and cut open his ear drums.
Jacobs is a married man, the
father of a child. He had been a
member of the union for many years
and during the explosions allied
himself with the left wing. The
murderous attack on Jacobs is not
an isolated fact. 1t is the climax
Of a reign of terrorism instituted by
the International Ladies Garment
Workers and the officialdom of the
A. F. OF L. against the workers who
refused to accept their domination.
Proves Charges.
"For months we have been calling
the attention of the authorities of
this city to the fact that underworld
elements hired by the I. L. G. w.
were freely operating in the cloak
and fur markets and murderously
attacking workers, under the protec-
ton of the police.
"The Industrial Union calls the
attention of the entire labor move
ment to the rein of terrorism and
gives warning to Messrs. Dubinsky
& Schlesinger that this will not go
On indefinitely; that steps will be
taken to bring them to responsible
ity and that these acts of terror
ism will convince the workers that
these gentry are only the leaders
of a company union and they will
then rally in c. l larger numbers
to the Industrial Union, which will
lead them in the struggle for better
conditions"

DO NOT FORGET
FRIDAY AUG. 9Th.

The anti-working class character
of the Boy Scouts was recently
again illustrated by the organiza-
tons action in sending one of its
members to spy on the Young
Pioneers in their camp at Wingdale,
New York.
As an agency in spreading propa-
ganda for the capitalist class, and
evidently as an espionage agency for
the military authorities, the officials
of the Boy Scouts recognized the
Young Pioneers as the only real
working class organization for chill
dren, and thus sent it's member to
spy.
The boy it sent however, hap
pened to be the son of Negro work
er, who had suffered much thru ra-
cial discrimination in the Boy
Scouts. 1t did not take him long to
see that the Young Pioneers, as a
workers children's organization, and
AiOO CiiC Ivy OSOuIot was Vic VI 3 dlI-
ization to which Negro working
class children should belong.
His letter to the Scout official
who sent him to spy on the Pioneers,
speaks for itself:

Dear Mr.. Glenn,

WARSAW, (By MaiD On the
estate Bzostovice near Lemberg,
Galicia agricultural laborers went on
strike as the food issued to them
was unfit for human consumption.
The owner hired scabs, who arrived
under strong police escort. When
the workers learned this, they pre-
vented the scabs from taking their
places, clash ensued, as result
of which % policemen and II scabs
were forced to barricade themselves
in an clubhouse. The strikers laid a
regular siege to the building, after
having cut the telephone wires so
that the police could not commune
cate with headquarters. The siege
lasted "a hours until one of the po-
licemen succeeded in escaping and
getting into touch with Lemberg
from where police reinforcements

Long Imprisonment
For Workers Under
Pole Fascist Terror

WARSAW, (By MaiD. - The
trial of West Ukrainian revolution
aries in Lemberg has come to it's
end. Twelve of the accused were
sentenced to terms of Imprisonment
ranging from four years to ten
months. Nine accused were ac-
quilted. The accused had all pur-
sued only perfectly lawful activi-
ties in the working class movement
and the sentence passed on them
has no legal basis whatsoever. 1t
is simply an act of intimidation, by
which the Pilsudski regime hopes to
put down the resistance of the OPP
pressed toiling masses of Poland.

MilitancY In Boston.

Especial TO the Dduy W0rker.)
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 1.-Two
hundred police in the vicinity of the
appointed corner, led by the police
superintendent in person, tried to
stop 1000 Boston Red Day demon
strators. Police autos crowded the
.urbs, with machine guns and tear
gas, ETC., in readiness. The crowd
of workers walked around the block,
ell ready to come to the corner at
p. m. At that hour, from all sides
the workers converged to the CEN
trail spot. Israel Binchovsky, chair
man, began to announce the meet
ing, when he was hauled down by
several burly cops. Lewis Marks,
representing the District Executive
Committee of the Communist Party,
jumped up and began to shout:
Down with imperialist war;" He
was dragged down. The same re-
Spouse greeted the efforts of Will
liam Sroka, of the Young Ccmmu-
munist League, TO talk.
Crowd Cheers U. s. s. r.
As one after the other was led
away, the crowd shouted "Down
with police brutality" and kept
booing the police. "Long live the
Soviet Union" came from hundreds
of threats. The police smashed the
box from which the speakers were
giving their message.
They thought the meeting was
ever, but they were mistaken. Will
liam Simons of New York immedi-
atelv began to speak from the curb,
calling on the workers to defend the
Soviet Union, the only working class
republic" He declared "American
imperialism is responsible for the
attack on the Soviet Union" Sew
eral heavy-set policemen grabbed
Simons and threw him away. But
Simons continued speaking, walking
along the street, toward another cor
ner. The police dubbed the crowd.
The complete list Of those ar
rested is as follows: Elsie Pultur,

The excitement caused by the death

city edition of the Daily Worker
on Saturday. That portion fol-
lows:
"The A. F. of L. has degenerated
into an organization which does not
fight for the interests of the work
ers but for the interests of the
bosses. The A. f. of L. is there
fore, naturally not interested in Or
ganizing the unorganized young
workers. More than that it is do
ing everything in its power to pre-
vent the young workers from be-
organized. Has it not been
proven by the policy of the A. F.
of L. not to allow the young work
ers to enter the trade unions thru
direct boycott, or thru high initia-
ton fee, high dues, difficult exami-
and other shameful meth
DDS?
"The so-called progressive Music
group which has appeared recently
in the labor movement criticizes in
words The A. F. of L. labor takers,
but in deeds is betraying the work
ers the same way as the A. F. of
L., as they did in Elizabethton, Tenn.
We must beware of the treachery Of
this so-called progressive group,
the latest agent of the bosses.

"The clouds of new world war

throughout the world through their
governments will start a new attack
against the Soviet Union, the Fa-

the growing danger of a war be-

the other hand, is of great impor-
lance to all young workers.

fodder, but also at the present time
of war preparations, the bosses

machinery will increase the ex-

putting into effect greater speed

cuts. The bosses are also begin
ming to sharpen their attack
against the militant working class
Treachery of A. F. of L.

treacherous act of the A. F. of L.

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
Thousands of Milwaukee workers
participated in the International Red
Day demonstrations here under the
leadership of the Communist Party.
The demonstration in the downtown
section was attacked four times by
police of this yellow socialist city
administration, but each time the po-
lice broke up the procession and
meetings the workers reformed at
new street corners.
AL Davis, Communist Party organ
izer; John Marks, Communist Youth
League organizer; Ted Witt, and Pc
Ter Obechoff were arrested and held
under S75 bail each.
These arrests follow a week of
persecution and arrests of Commu-

lice. Workers were jailed for dis
tributing leaflets explaining to the
workers the danger of war and the
need to fight it and to defend the
Soviet Union.
