.Y.C.L. EXPOSES
LIBERAL PROTEST
Weiss Case Unmasks
Free Speech" Claim

A statement issued yesterday by
the National Office of the Young
Communist League exposed the
reasons for the protests" of petty
bourgeois liberal organizations re-
garding the threats made by Magis-
trate Sabbatino of the Flatbush
Court in threatening to beat David
Weiss, a League member arrested
for gathering contributions for the
Workers international Relief.
"There would be no protest from
liberal groups if Comrade Weiss
had been sent to Jail under the thin
pretext of having violated some
technical ordinance. The fact that
the magistrate openly made his
threats because of Weiss member
ship in the Young Communist
League does not conform with the
claims of "free speech" and "demo-
cracy" made by liberal and Social
list" organizations. 1t is signifi-
cant that the socialists who have
murdered militant workers by thou
sands in many countries join with
the Civil Liberties Union in regret
ting the fact that Magistrate Sab
batino was too open in his attack
'In reality the threats made
against Weiss in court are but an
other example of the growing at
tacks against the workers, as shown
even more conclusively by the Gas
tonia sentences, the sentencing of
Lii Andrews, Tom Johnson and
Charles Guynn in Ohio to 5 to 10
years Imprisonment under the
Criminal Syndicalist Law, and ar
rests and sentences in California,
Pennsylvania, the Illinois mine
fields, etc. To criticise only the
individual judges is to divert the at
tention of the workers from the
real enemy and foe of the workers
the whole capitalist government"

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 28.-The
thirty militant trade union leaders
and members of the Central Commit
tee of the Communist Party and
Young Communist League, arrested
by the Mexican Government on or
ders from Wall Street, are being
held incommunicado in military bar
racks and police stations in the sub
burbs.
The Gil-Rubio-Calles ruling clique
now hob-nobbing with the bitterest
exploiters of the Mexican masses,
has instituted a vicious reign of
terror against the leaders of the rev.
olutionary workers and peasant or
ganizations who have exposed the
cringing subservience of the Mex
lean ruling class to Morgan & Co..
Hoover, Lamont and Morrow.
In retaliation, the Morgan e. Co.
rulers have been subjecting MeXi-
can and Cuban workers to methods
of torture more fantastic than
those of Torquemada of the In
QUESTION. Barreirro, Cuban revo-
lutionist, has already been driven
insane.
A number of Cuban Communists
deported to Cuba, into the hands of
bloody Machado, the murderer of
hundreds of Cuban workers. Many
of those now being held in Jail are
slated for deportation.

INDIAN LEADERS
SPLIT ON HOW TO
BETRAY REVOLT
Majority to Cooperate
With British Bosses
Against Masses
Gandhi A Seryile Tool
Spirit of Revolt Grows
Among Working Class
BULLETIN,


LAHORE, India, Dec. 29.-With
the cry of "long live the revolu-
tionw masses of workers and peas
ants broke through the police cor
don and rushed the platform from
which Pandit Jawaharial Nehru,
president of the All-India National
Congress, was calling for mild
measures to attain independence.
Nehru, one of the bourgeois lead
ers, is attempting to soften the rev.
olutionary ardor of the masses. In
this task, he has the help of British
imperialism and the ''labor govern
ment."
LAHORE, India, Dec 28-Already
the Indian bourgeoisie, assembled
here for the opening of the Indian
Nationalist Congress, are developing
differences on how best to frustrate
the rising tempo of mass revolt.
Subas Chandra Bose, lick-spittle
leader of the Bengal home rule par
ty, left the conference which pre-
ceeded the opening of the Congress,
much put out because of a sharp
disagreement with Pundit Motilal
Nehru, nationalist misleader and
false champion of complete indepen-
dence.
Nehru favors complete indepen-
dence of India under the Indian
bourgeoisie, and the exploitation of
the Indian masses by the Indian cap
italists instead of by British capital
ism.
A section of the bourgeois Indian
nationalists, forced by pressure of
the masses, are attempting to put
up an appearance of a serious en-
counter with British Imperialism.
But the majority favor open CO.
operation with the Viceroy, Lord r.
win, and the Macdonald "labor"
government against the great mass
of Indian workers and peasats.

FIGHTS NEGRO
DISCRIMINATION
Stage Mass Protest at
Hotel That Refuses
Negro Delegates

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. 90
Three hundred and twenty-eight
delegates who attended theopening
session on Sunday of the fourth ma
tional convention of the Information.
al Labor Defense, adjourned and
marched in body, together with
hundreds of Pittsburgh workers, to
demonstrate against the Hononga-
hela Hotel which refused admission
to Negro delegates.
A police squad was lined up at
the door of the hotel, but the work
ers entered and filled the lobby.
Five hundred voices demanded the
registration of the Negro delegates
and no discrimination against Ne
groes.
The clerk, guarded by police be-
hind the desk, refused. A strong
protest demonstration followed. ].
Louis Engdahl, national secretary of
the International Labor Defense,
mounted a chair and introduced as
speakers, Frank, Negro member of
the workers jury in Gastonia; Har-
old Williams, of the American Ne
gro Labor Congress; Pat Devine,
district organizer of the Communist
Party; Robert Minor, editor of the
Daily Worker; Fred Beal, one of
the Gastonia defendants, and Ella
Reeve Bloor.
The demonstration lasted for one
hour in the lobby. Ringing cheers
greeted the demands for Negro
equality, the International Labor
Defense, the Communist Party and
the Communist International.
Pat Devine called for applications
for membership in the Communist
Party. Many workers joined the
Party. The workers then sang the
International and displayed their
protest banners. Five hundred dem
onstrators then left the hotel and
marched in a solid body back to the
convention singing revolutionary
songs.
The police, with their patrol
wagons lined up, threatened arrests,
but they could not break the DEM
onstration. Cheers greeted the de-
mands of the speakers for race
equality. Banners bearing the slo-
gan: Struggle Against Race Pre-
judice," were displayed.
Engdahl said: "We have been in
jails before in Pittsburgh. If nee
essary we will go again." The Ne
gro member of the Gastonia labor
jury, and Harold Williams of the A.
N. L. c., demanded a united strug-
gle against race discrimination.
Fred Beal, Ella Reeve Bloor and
Mclaughlin scored the Melon
Grundy reign of terror in Pennsyl-
vania.
