all the fights of the American work

the revolutionary workers of the
world by joining the general strike

Five thousand New York work
ers yesterday swelled the world
wide protest against the latest i'm
perialist attack on the Soviet Union
at a demonstration outside the Nam
ling government consular offices at
the Alexander Hamilton building at
Is Astor Pl.
Marked by unusually vicious po-
lice brutality, which failed to drive
off the workers who held Astor Pl.
for fully 45 minutes, the demonstra-
tion was perhaps the best-organized,
most militant expression of work
ing class protest ever seen in New
York City, workers declared. Revo-
lutionary Chinese workers headed
the preliminary march.
Arrest 13.
Thirteen were arrested when po-
lice repeatedly charged the picket
lines. They included James Mu, Of
the Alliance For Support of the
Chinese Workers and Peasants
Revolution, and William w. Wein-
stone, New York district organizer
of the Communist Party, which
planned the demonstration. Vein
stone is Party candidate for mayor
in the municipal elections.
The arrested workers were to
face trial at the Tenth District
Magistrates Court at 57th st. last
night AS this edition of the Daily
Worker went to press, results of the
trial were not available.

by 1000 Party and Con munist
Youth League members as they led
the march along Astor Pl. between
Fourth Ave. and Broadway.
Workers released from neighbor-
ing warehouses and offices gathered
eagerly on all sides of the march
crs. They read the defiant slogans,
hundreds joining in the enthusiastic
cheers which answered the call to
defend the Soviet Union" The
crowd surged through Astor Place,
while the marchers shouted battle
cries of the class war with renewed
vigor, joining in mass chorus for
the International.
Uncowed by Police.
A first contingent of police swung
their clubs savagely at the cheering
demonstrators. They couldn't bulge
the solid lines.
The great crowd quietened little.
Sturdy Party members supported a
wooden platform, on whicn speakers,

Especial to the Daily Worker.)
NEW ORLEANS, La, July 19.-
The strike is still deadlocked, with
the Public Service Company demand
ing the open shop and the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and
Electric Railways Employees de-
manding a closed shop with arbitra-
ton.
Fifty thousand workers turned out
of the mass meeting which pressure
from the rank and file forced their
Building Trades Council to grant.
The meeting was held last night. But
the officialdom succeeded in turning
what the workers expected would be
meeting to call a general strike
into a mere "pep" affair for ex-
tending sympathy to the street car
strikers, and to give certain state
and city politicians a chance to ap-
pear before the crowd.
Won't Ride Cars.
The meeting gladly adopted the
single militant suggestion that the
officials allowed to come to a vote,
by pledging not to ride the cars, and
to use other light than electricity or
gas, both of which services are
owned by the car lines company.
The workers are militant, but still
badly fooled by their leadership, and
do not express real discomfort with
the way the strike is handled. They
are eager to extend financial sup
port to the strikers.
