(Wreless to the Daily Worker
MINNEAPOLIS, March 26.-The
socialist-controlled Labor Lyceum
here refused to permit use of the
hall fcc a Ruthenberg memorial
meeting here last night on the
grounds that Negroes were invited.
Police broke up the last Commu-
mist meeting held in the Labor Ly-
ceum, to which Negroes were in
vited. Thee authorities, with the
support of the yellow socialists, "
are determined to prevent the organ
ization of Negro workers here.
In spite of the refusal of the La
Dor Lyceum hall, the meeting was
held, at which resolution was
passed, denouncing the socialist par
ty for its discrimination against the
Negroes and expressing solidarity
between white and Negro workers.
Pat Devine, district organizer of
the Communist Party, announced
that a campaign will be launched
to expose the socialist party with
its race discrimination policy and
its cooperation with the police
against militant workers.

PEASANT LEADER

SINGAPORE, Straits Settlements,
March. 26.-Hodja Dollhaeti, a lea
de of the Javanese peasants, has
been sentenced to death by the
Dutch Royal Court in Batavia, ac-
cording to a dispatch from the is
land.
Dollhaeti was accused of taking
part in the great instruction of
1926-27 which swept Java and ter
rified the Dutch imperialists. He
was also charged with having been
one of a crowd of peasants who
killed an official in Menes.
This was Dollhaeti's second trial,
a former trial in Pandeglang having
failed to prove the governments
charges.
Another accused peasant leader
named Djain has been sentenced to
lifelong hard labor, apparently on
charges growing out of the same
incident.
The Dutch authorities, far from
having abolished the dreadful sys-
tenn of deportation and internment,
are banishing still more national
revolutionary Indonesians.
Tjoer hin has been banished for

an internment camp. He is leader
of the Communists in Setono.
Boedimandojono, Secretary of the

banished.

''The convention will, of course,
take steps to rouse the workers to

Foster stated that a continual
campaign for representation of or
gained and unorganized workers
will be waged between now and the
convention, and that thousands of
circulars were being prepared, con-
tanning the outline of activities
which can be accomplished through
the convention, full details for Sc
curing representation, and giving

VIENNA, Austria, March 90
Rumors that the nuptials of King
Boris of Bulgaria and the Princess
Giovanni of Italy are being revived
and that Dino Grandi, Italian for
eign minister, will visit Budapest in
the middle of April indicate that the
fascist government is again vigor-
ously pursuing its political offensive
in the Balkans. Until recently it
had been consolidating its control of
Albania, now virtually an Italian
province.
Dino Grand is known as the
travelling salesman of fascism and
his visit will be compensated by one
from Count Stefan Bethlen, Hun
garian prime minister, and notorious
reactionary, in Rome at Easter. 1t
is limited that the visits may be pre-
liminary to visit of Mussolini to
Budapest.
The Hungarian fascists have long
depended upon the support of the
Italian reactionaries in carrying out
their brutal prosecutions of workers
and peasants. Italy depends upon
the Hungarian fascists in fighting
the influence of France and in iso-
lating Jugo-Slavia, Frances puppet,
in the Balkans.
At the same time, the Italian
fascist government is countering
the renewed French activities in
Bulgaria by the marriage proposals
for Boris and Giovanna. 1t had pre-
viously made bid for Bulgarian
sympathy by abstaining from the
joint action Of the powers last Aug
ust in ordering the Bulgarian gov
eminent to control the activities of

At the same time, General Vlkoff,
formerly Bulgarian minister of war,
ard friend of the comitadjis is min
lister to Rome.
In Rumania also the italian fas-
cists are finding the Manu- regime
far more pliable than was the Bra
tianu government, which was under
the influence of French imperial
ism.

Fiendish Speeo-Up
The system of speed-up imposed

from "a to 26 looms for the miser-
able pay of SIT and SIS week were
compelled to operate approximately
" looms and their princely wages
were then increased to the inspiring
sum of $40 and $50 a week. The
same holds true of all other crafts
employed in the making of textiles.
This system has been termed as
barbarous and inhuman by the in
dignant workers.
This is the third big strike to
burst forth in the newly industrial
lied South within two weeks. All
were in the textile industry. The
last one, that of the rayon workers
in Happy Valley, Tennessee, ended
only a few days ago when the A.

strike after miserable raises of a
few cents a week were given.

drawing the speed-up system that
was the cause of this revolt.
