NEGRO IN NEWARK
To Picket Restaurants
This Evening

NEWARK, N. j., May 8,-The
management of the Ideal Restaurant
at 81 Mercy ST., and of the Hellman
Restaurant, 81 Mercy St., refused to
serve Harold Williams, District Ne
gro organizer of the Communist
Party, when he asked to be served
last night.
This is the second time within the
last week that the Ideal Restaurant
refused to serve Negro, and in the
first instance was finally forced to
serve upon the strenuous objections
of John Owens, Negro worker, and
other white workers with him. The
walters here are organized in To-
cal of the American Federation of
Labor union, which, according to one
2of the walters, imposes fine on
walters serving Negro customers.
I Upon hearing of this latest case
of discrimination, the full member
ship of the Royal Buck Political
Club, consisting of Is Negro work
ers, volunteered to picket the res
taurants together with the members
of the Communist Party. The dem
onstration is to take place tonight
and the discrimination will be used
as a basis for winning the Negro
workers of Newark to the Com
munist Party at the municipal cleo
tions on Monday.
The workers will carry the follow
ing slogans; Ideal and Hellman
Restaurants Discriminate Against
Negroes; Communist Party Fights
Discrimination Against Negroes;
Negro and White Workers Fight
Race Discrimination; Political,
Racial and Social Equality for Ne
groes"; "Vote Communist; "Vote
for S. d. Levine, Frank Fischer,

gro Labor Congress Demands Social
Equality for All Negroes"

Powers believes that office work

the German consul, who happened
to be in Washington at the time of
the demonstration, no doubt en-
gagged in perfecting negotiations
with Hoover for the further en-
slavement of the German workers
by the American imperialists, was
forced to make an apologize COM
ment on the entire procedure.
1t indicates further that only by
intensifying these demonstrations,
only through the pressure and or
ganized might of thousands of
workers of the City of New York,
cooperating with workers Though
cut the world, will the fangs of the
socialist Bloodhound of Berlin" be
released from the German working
class.
The meager details of the out
RACES published in the capitalist
press have increased the intense in
dignation here. 1t seems that the
Berlin police used dum-dum bullets
against the workers. 1t seems, fur
Their, from these reports, that only
one policeman was injured out of
the countless scores of men and
women killed and injured among the
workers.

against the vicious police brutality
employed by the New York police

no other crime than picketinc dur
ing the strike. Among the speak
crs will be Michael Obermeier,

in compact masses, disregarding the
$4,000 special and regular police and
soldiers armed with rifles, machine
guns, hand grenades, tear gas
bombs and with tanks and armored
cars waiting behind buildings on side
streets.
A half hour strike in many Berlin
factories paralyzed industry. The
strike was from 2 p. m. to 2:30 and
took place as an expression of soil
darity with the slain workers at the
exact time the bodies were lowered
into the grave. Communications
were badly crippled by a strike of
street car, taxi and bus drivers, at
the same time. News arrives that
workers Of many other cities, espe-
cialIy Hamburg and Leipzig, struck

ton for half a day, in most cases.

The whole working class commu-
nifty is filled with indignation as re-
ports reveal that the police during

Day demonstrations, and in the
fighting that followed, used dunn

in their victims.

TRUST is BEHIND
WORKERS TRIAL

Workers Union, were released last
night after bail had been refused
since the arrests Saturday evening.
So firm is the grasp of the Bethle-
hem steel trust on this town that
bailers have been inundated into
refusing to furnish bail. Many Of
those present in court offered to
give bail but much Of it was re-
fused.
This situation, not rare in American
labor history, is similar to the one
the International Labor Defense is
facing in the textile strike in Gas
tonia, N. C. The l. l.. d. is, how
ever, making strenuous efforts to
raise the $4,000 bail required for
each of the workers.
1t was learned today that Muir
doch and Brown have been severely
beaten. Brown was also put thru
the third degree when arrested.
Sedition Charge?
The official charge against all
those arrested is holding an unlaw-
full meeting. But the terror atmos-
phere surrounding the case, the I'M
usual interest shown by the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation, together
with information that has leaked
out, all point to something more sin
lister. Plans are believed to be
afoot, undoubtedly initiated and
backed by Bethlehem Steel, to in
dict the arrested workers under the
Flynn Sedition Act. If convicted,
they would face long prison terms.
The trial has been set for June 2.
Meetings of workers are being
arranged here under the auspices of
the International Labor Defense
protesting against the police at
tacks and the terror. The /. L. D.
is launching a mass campaign to
force the release of the arrested
workers. y VI US

food in the cities, and the profits
of middlemen, grain elevator own
ers, shipping and railroads, by en-
couraging exports. These all stand
between the farmer and the ulti-
mate consumer, and charge what
the traffic will bear. To the farm
ers this means that they take what
they are offered, and encouragement
of export helps them not at all.
However, Senator Hiram John
son, always anxious to pose as a
liberal, delivered lengthy speech
for debentures, in which he alleged
that the debenture plan would "put
the government in the farm bust
ness" which was what he wanted:
and included a general assault on
this age of moronia and bunk" in
which people cheer when New
York night club hostess is arrested
and the congress cheers death (the
killing of a bootlegger).
Hoover VIII Veto.
Senator Norbeck read President
Hoover's solemn declaration that he
would veto any bill containing the
debenture plan, and then the Senate
voted Al to 46 against the admin
istration amendment to strike out
debentures.
The situation is now where no
farm law at all need be expected as
the House rejects debentures, and
Congress can not agree with itself
or with Hoover. Since any measure
as full of deceit and contempt for
the farmers as either the House or
Senate bill will certainly be unpopu-
lar with them, political observers
here suspect that most Congressman
are very willing to see deadlock.
