'Union.
The demonstrators, in mass
formation, marched around the
Federal Building, distributing
leaflets and unfurling banners
with slogans calling on the workers
to support the Haitian revolt and
to fight against the war threat or
the Soviet Union.
Two hundred police had surround
ed the building before, armed with
clubs, and dozens were hidden in
side.
AS soon as the demonstration be-
gan, thousands OF workers who were
bystanders joined in. Immediately
the police rushed on the assembled
workers and began to club right ard
left. "a dozen mounted cops rode
into the crowd in an effort to break
the three or four meetings that
started simultaneously.
A solid wall of resistance met the
efforts of the cops to break up the
demonstration. Though their ban
ners were torn down and speakers
pulled off their makeshift platforms
the protesting workers continued to
march in front of the Federal Build
ing shouting out slogans Down with
American Imperialism" Defend the
Soviet Union," Eight Wall Streets
War Threat Against the Workers
Republic" Support the Haitian
Masses" and singing revolutionary
songs.
When the brutal attack of the
armed cops and their mounted re-
inforcements pressed the fighting
workers to one side, they surged
across Broadway and started several
other meetings.
Again the cops rode in, clubbing
furiously, but the demonstration
could not be broken up. The attack
of the police was more vicious than
in former demonstrations and un-
doubtedly was previously arranged.
The overwhelming majority of the
Outstanding 5000 workers sympa-
thized with the militant demonstra-
tors and uttered frequent protests
against the police brutality.
Actively participating in the mass
protest were the Spanish Workers
Club, the Chinese Workers Alliance,
the Japanese Workers Association,
the Council of Working Glass House
wives and many other working class
organizations.
Realizing that the workers were
determined to voice their protest
against the war threat on the So
Wet Union and the marine attack
on the Haitian revolution, the cops
became even more vicious in their
sallies and dubbed demonstrators
and bystanders Unfortunately.
Still they could not break the ranks.
Traffic cops, supported by hur-
ried reinforcements and a dozen ad-
ditional mounted cossacks rushed in
to help their besieged fellow gun
men in their futile effort to smash
up the demonstration against the
spirited resistance of the 1000 work
ers who were encouraged by the on
lockers.
The cops picked out and attacked
scattered workers, chasing them for
blocks, and in desperation threw
their clubs at them.
The main body of demonstrators,
with ranks closed and de-
termined, continued the march UP
Park Row into City Hall.
Here speakers mounted benches
and spoke for several minutes. Eff
forts of the uniformed gunner to
arrest the speakers were fought on
all sides by the demonstrators.
The demonst- ators continued
shouting out the slogans they could

Before White House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Riled
with the demonstration against
Wall Streets attack on the Haitian
revolution, and directed at Stimson's
war threat to the Soviet Union,
which took place under his nose,
Chief Imperialist Hoover made a
hypocritical show of his "magnan-
unity" by requestion the jailed
workers be let out. George Aker-
son, Hoover's secretary issued a
surrilous statement in behalf of the
Wall Street chief executive, in which
he asked the police to release the
demonstrators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Led by
Wilbur T. Upshaw, Negro long
shoreman of Chester, Pa; Sylvia
Langdon, Gastonia, N. c., textile
worker, and Paul Crouch, of the
Young Communist League, one hun
dred members of the Communist
Party and Young Communist League
and sympathizers, mostly from
Washington, Philadelphia and Balti-
more, demonstrated this afternoon
at the very heart of American inn
perialism. They carried banners
with the slogans of Eight Against
Imperialist War; Defend the So
Wet Union," protesting against the
murder of the Haitian peasants by
United States marines, eposine the
A. F. of L. and socialist party as
agents of American imperialism, de-
manding full social and political
equality for Negroes, calling upon
the soldiers and marines to unite
with their brothers in the factories,
mills, mines, and farms, exposing
Stimsons "Peace Pact" Note as a
war maneuver against the U.S.S.R.
and Hoover's conferences as step
towards fascism.
These militant workers picketed
the White House and State and War
Departments.

have purchased the right to use In
this city the Bonner q Conover pat

chine and have set up one OF them
Of Messrs. Duncai1son a. Coltman.
The machine Is in full operation,
saving and splitting through hard
knots with the facility Of table knife
cutting through o Goshen cheese. The
attention Of two men at each saw Is
required to satisfy its cravings for
wood.
Like other steam Improvements, this
machine tends to cheaper the price
of wood and has many other ad-
vantages over the hand method. Out
ting cord Of pine wood Of the
ordinary length OF feet costs by the
usual process 621a cents; that Il. II
sawed twice, It will cost $125 per cord,
and extra pay for having 1t badly
split, to say nothing Of the ircprac-
ticable pieces one always buys, Of which
no use can be made.
So a cord Of wood costing s. will
cost an additional -$l.25 for saving
and an extra dollar for splitting max
ing the cost OF purchase ana pEepeEa"
ton amount to $7.25 per cord.
The new machine performs the
work in much better style at saving
Of IS cents per cord. Besides the saw
ing in price, the purchaser receives
good wood, free from knots. every stick
Of which can be used in the stove.
One man at the saw, with a boy to
feed the splitting machine, can pre-
pare in the ordinary working day Is
cords of wood for the stove.
The wood passes from the machine
to conductor, which conveys It to
the second story Of the building,

The machine Is driven by 1S-horse-
power steam engine. Messrs. Gait g.

their own customers on the cash
principle entirely.

SUB ROSA
BIZ MIMI.

An old man know has o dropping
eyelid which makes you think that that
orb is not on the Job. Once when In q
distinguished gathering, some grandee
said to him. Why do you look ct me
with one eyer" TO which he replied,
Because all want to see Of you / can
see with one eye" Which was far from
nice Of him.
Our eyes were meant to work In
sort Of double shift and give us o full
view Of the world and the people In 1t.
When we use an old-fasifioned stereo-
scope, we get o most realistic view Of
the scene because the picture lets each
eye get its own view. When the two
come together in the brain, the result
Is wonderful.
No doubt there are some people you
know who can't be much more than q
one-eyed view. A once over y enough
to let you see what they are like. They
may be so Superficial that it's not worth
while giving them second glance. Or
they may be 20 worthless that they don't
deserve any consideration.
But with the people who are near and
dear to us, it's best TO give them the full
them in from head to foot. The mem.
bers Of your family and your friends
have q right TO the full vision Of both
your eyes.
Even when Q person Of our acquAint-
ance seems rather ordinary. we may
come to find out, II we give him or her
full, steady look, that such Q person
Is worth while after all. He may DO O
rough diamond and she may be .
modest violet. It's only after you have
taken them in thoroughly with both
eyes that you see what they are.
On the other hand, it's advisable for
you to be in full view Of other peoples
eyes. OF course, there are some girls
who are too much In evidence. They
make up like exterior decorators and
talk like lightning rod agents. They
want to be noticed and they are, too.
But there are some who are inclined
to shrink away from the gaze Of others.
They don't want to be looked at for
fear they may not pass the test Of two
eyes. They are the ones who ought to
come out In full view and be seen for
what they are worth.
The amount of visible stuff that we
pass up Is enormous. We see only q
fraction Of what goes on In the world
and what exists In another person. MY
idea is that all there is to human life Is
repeated In every individual, who Is O
tiny world. All the flavor Of the sea Is
In one drop Of water. All humanity Is
in each separate person.
When our eyes give us real trouble,
we consult the ocuiist. II we find that
we are missing lot Of our friends,
well have to be our own oculists and
learn how to get q two-eyed closeup.

Personality and Evening Dresses
By MARY MARSHALL.

Possibly the greatest advantage Of
these colors-which are not colors at all
in one sense of the words that they
allow freer rein to ones personality
than rainbow colors. If you wear red
dress or a green dress at o dance you
will, to most persons. be the girl in the
red dress or the girl in green. What
ever associations people you meet for
the first time may have concerning
these colors will to some extent be at
tached to you. II you wear all black or
all white there Is far more chance that
you will be remembered as the girl with
the lovely blue eyes or the brunette
with the peaches-and-cream COM
