Hundreds Pay Last
Tribute to DR.. Caspe,
Veteran Communist

Hundreds of workers yesterday
attended the funeral ceremonies for
DR.. Abraham Caspe, veteran men,
Der of the Communist Party, which
was held from the Workers Center,
&c Union So. The body of DR.. Capse
had lain in state on the fourth floor
of the Center.
The District Executive Committee
of District 2 New York; of the
Communist Party of America has is
sued the following statement on the
death Of Comrade Caspe:
"The death of Comrade Caspe
removes from the ranks of the Com
munist Party of the United States
of America, Section Of the Commun-
list International, an old and valiant
fighter for the cause Of Communism
and for the oppressed working class
of the United States.
"Comrade Caspe has been one Of
the pioneers OF the revolutionary
movement in this country; from the
earliest days of the movement he
has worked for spreading the ideas
of revolution among the proletariat
and has helped in the establishment
of the trade unions. He was a front
rank fighter in the struggle against
reformism, against the degenerate
socialist renegades and for the es-
Establishment of a powerful Bolshevik
Section Of the Communist Intarna-
tional in the United States of Amer
lea. His spirit of devotion, of tire
less support to the revolutionary
cause has served as an example for
the growing generations of Com
munists.
"The Communist Party in District
Two of which Comrade Caspe was a
member, calls upon all revolutionary
workers and all truly proletarian or
CARNATIONS to express their solidar-
ity on the occasion of the passing
of a good valiant fighter of the
working class"

Lava Cuts Into Town;
Man Dies i'm Despair

TERIzICNO, Italy, June 5.-A
great molten stream Of lava from
the boiling crater of Mount Vesu-
vius rolled deeper into this small
mountain town this afternoon, de-
stroying four more houses and re-
sulting in the first casually.
The suburb of Pagani Di Soto
felt the strength of the lava river
which has divided and turned in its
path, but continues to move toward
the main part of the town.
The first casualty was an aged
farmer who lived in the hamlet of
Capitello. The 70-year-old man died
Of heart failure as the steaming
river of fire submerged his little
farm.

Big -Imperialist
Meet MObilizes for
June Is Conference

A very successful anti-imperial-
list meeting was held last night at
Irving Plaza Hall under the auspices
Of the New York branch of the All
America Anti-Imperialist League,
for the purpose of mobilizing its
members for active work to ensure
the success of the anti-imperialist
conference on June Is. All members
of the League were strongly urged
to do their share in modelling all
organizations and individuals OPP
posed to imperialism for participa-
ton in the June 18th conference.
Trade unions, fraternal organlza-
tions, Workmen Circles and organi-
cations of colonial groups in the u.
S. are invited to send a delegation
to the June Is conference which in
turn will elect delegates to the Sec
ond Anti-Imperialist World Congress
at Paris, July 26 to 81.
Various speakers emphasized the
necessity of the participation in the
World Congress of a strong U. s..
delegation; the need for charging
and activizing the anti-imperialist
movements in the U. S. and mobili-
cation of all forces for the antrim
perialist conference on June Is.
Gibarti announced that the A. A.
A. I. L., U. S. section, has designated
June Is to % as an anti-imperialist
week and made a strong appeal for
cooperation of all opponents of i'm
perialism to make this week turn

When the Elizabethton deputy
found this out, he tried to have the

Calls All Picketing Crime"
Chancellor S. F. Miller, before
whom the 81 rayon strikers were
tried for violation of the injunction
granted in a previous strike yester-
day sentenced three to ten days in
Jail and $50 fine (the limit) and
fined AZ others for amounts rang
ing from $40 to S25. Seven were
dismissed for lack of evidence.
Miller, in Sc page opinion" at
tempts to set a precedent in injunc-
ton cases that can be used in every
strike in every industry in the coun-
try. He describes all forms of
picketing as essentially illegal and
criminal; he tries to cite constitu-
tional authority for use of the state
troops by the mill companies in their
fight to break the strike of the
workers.
"There can be no such thing as
peaceful picketing," the judge said.
"No more than there can be chaste
vulgarity, peaceful mobbing or law
full lynching. To constitute intimi-
dation it is not necessary that there
should be any direct threat, still less
any violence"

will succeed in breaking this strike
of the furriers, they declared.
Instruct Workers.
Meanwhile the final mobilization
of the workers for the general strike
is being intensified. All fur work
ers have received instructions and
final measures which they are urged
to carry thru in preparation for the
strike.
A call has been issued to the
workers by Joseph Boruchowitz,
general manager and Aaron Gross,
manager of the fur department,
which after giving specific instruc-
tons regarding the plans for the
strike, concludes as follows:
Fur Workers! The final strike
preparations are being completed.
The strike settlement of the work.
ers is very promising. All fur
workers feel that thru the general
strike they will finally liberate
themselves from the terrorism and
slavery of the bosses and the COM
pany union.
Be ready! A successful strike
will free you from your suffer-
ing, from your slavery. The Joint
Council scabs, their strong arm
squad and police will not and can
not make fur coats. Answer the
strike call of your union and your
victory will be assured.
Build up a mighty union. You
can and will win back your union
conditions that you have secured
thru struggle in 1926. You will
defeat your bosses and wipe out
the union-smashing, treacherous
gang, w.:ch is maintaining the
scab company union.
Unite your ranks! Organize!
Mobilize! Begin organizing in
your shops and be ready for the
general strike, for the historic
struggle to free the fur workers.
Thru struggle you will win your
freedom and your rights!
Be ready to answer the strike
call!

their counter-demands to the de-
mands of the workers. The bosses
demands would result in consider
able wage-cuts and for the displace-
ment of large number of workers.
The principal demand of the
bosses, and the most dangerous, is
that on such machine operations as
brim ironing, crown bouncing, ma
chine blocking and also sticking,
packing and pressing usually done
hy union-that these operations be
done by non-union workers under
open-shop conditions.
This move on the part of the
bosses is an example of the often
sive now being planned by the
bosses, and progressives are now
warning the hatters that they must
be on the watch and not permit a
situation like this to arise in the
trade.

not outside the realm of possibility
that an official of the union might
have written the letter

New York Still Wet.

The New York Assembly has killed
the jerks State prohibition enforce
ment bill. BY a vote of "a to u the
Assembly recommitted the bill, and, II
reports are to be credited, it will not
be revived at this session of the Legis-
lature. The vote against the bill was
not so wide as a barn door, but 1t was
sufficient. Fourteen Republicans voted
with the Democrats to recommit the
bill. Efforts to crack the party whip
were unavailing. This failure comes on
the heels of the recommendation of
President Hoover in his inaugural adj
dress that the States should play their
part ir the enforcement of the dry
laws growing out of the eighteenth
amendment. New York, through its Leg
islature, like Maryland, has this year
turned down proposed State enforce
ment acts. Like Maryland, the State Of
New York has been controlled in this
matter largely by its greatest city. 1t
is now proposed to put through local
option bill In New York State, which
would have the effect OF providing pro-
hibition enforcement In those COM

prisonment and heavy fine. Perhaps a
more heroic course would be to join
with the bootleggers themselves in the
violation of the law. They appear to
prefer to keep within the law, safer
course.
Within a short time there is to be
appointed by the President commits
sion to investigate the system of juris-
prudence in this country, law violations,
and particularly the problem of en-
forcement Of the dry laws. The country
hailed the announcement of President
Hoover that he intended to tackle this
problem of disregard of the laws of the
land. And now comes the voluntary for
nation of committee of attorneys IN
New York to help violators of the law
escape the penalties which Congress
has imposed. What a commentary on
the situation in this country! Mr.. Hoo
ver's commission will be appointed none
too soon.

No Gang Warfare for Washington

That Washington has the markings of
"gangland" such as that which has
given Chicago name for desperate
lawlessness was evidenced yesterday
morning, when in a street battle two
men who had been helpful to the police
in the fight against an organized gam
bling institution were. shot to death
That member of the detective force
was not at the same time slain was due
to an exceptional chance. The slayers
got away. The police have since round
ed up a large number of suspects and
hope to lay hands upon those who par
t!cipated in this tragic affair.
The crime Of yesterday morning has
the earmarks of definite organization
on the part of certain lawless element
in this city. The victims were men who
had, as stated, been doing under cover"
work for the police. 1t is necessary to
employ such agents in order to reach
the centers of lawless enterprise. 1t was
evidently the purpose of the crooks to
demonstrate that informers and police
agents may expect death in punishment
for their betrayal This is like the work
of the Chicago gangs.
Police activity against the gambling
establishments and systems Of one class
should not exhaust the energies of the
department. There are other institu-
tons and places than those that work
on the numbers" basis which should
receive corrective attention. But whether
the scope of operations is extended or
not, the gang that conducts the unlaw-
full game against which police cam
paign has been started, and which yes
terday resorted to murder as defensive
measure, must be broken up and its
members punished. For otherwise Wash
ington may soon become the scene of
just such outrages as those that have
for a period been making Chicago the
object Of national scorn.

Gambler Called One
Of Ages Great Men
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I saw an account of the death OF
Asa G. Gambler in your paper yester-
day, as we'll as short sketch OF his
life. l would like to add one or two
things that will not be told concerning
Mr.. Gambler, which to my mind make
him one of the great men OF this age.
Many men make money and are gen.
erous in their philanthropies. but Mr..
Gambler was a statesman as well as a
philanthropist. Few men born on
slave farm and seeing their families re-
duced to poverty by the loss OF those
slaves during the war ever gave so much
thought and money to make conditions
better for the Negro. No man has done
more. and the years will prove what
am saying now. The Gambler Theo-
logical Seminary at Emory University
emphasizes human brotherhood. and
the students of that school are declar-
ing that teaching throughout the Ma
ton. I met one of the graduates OF
that school on the ocean, and he told
me that every student in that institu-
ton has drilled in him that no other
attitude will count but that Of brother
hood. 1t is no wonder that racial con-
ditions in the South are better and
better each year. Asa Gambler Is I'M
mortal because he has endowed this UNI
versity and breathed into it his spirit.
Time alone can prove the wisdom OF
his judgment and cause his country to
praise him beyond the fact that he
made millions. j. C. OLDEN.
