Governor of Iowa
Continues Leasing
of State Prisoners

DES MONIES, Iowa by MaiD.
Governor Hamill of Iowa has
signed bill continuing the leasing
of prisoners to prison contractors,
a system which enslaves the prison
ers and has resulted in many graft
scandals in Iowa. Farmers and or
ganized workers have Joined to fight
the leases. In campaign speeches the
governor went about denouncing the
leasing of prisoners, but promptly
forgot, on assuming office, his pro-
misses to end the system.
The other classes decay and finally
disappear in the face of modern in

1t is clear for us in Austria that
Austrian fascism is not an isolated
phenomenon, but a phenomenon
which must be regarded in connec-
ton with international fascism and
with the military ornaments of the
international bourgeoisie.
The working masses Of Austria
welcome therefore the formation of
an international anti-fascist front,
and the activities of the preparatory
committee under the craftsmanship
of Henri Barbusse, for the conven-
ing of an international anti-fascist
congress.
In Austria Also.
We consider it our task to en-
tighten the international anti-fascist
movement concerning Austrian fas-
cism and it's specific methods. We
want the coming international anti
fascist congress to deal with fascism
in Austria also, and to include a
struggle against Austrian fascism
in the fighting program against fas
cism which it works out.
The Austrian working class and
the progressive intellectuals which
sympathize with it, will carry on a
determined struggle against fascism
in Austria in particular and against
fascism in general, because they
know that they are not isolated in
the struggle, but allied with the
working masses of all other coun-
tries.
The struggle against Austrian
fascism s of the greatest Importance
for. the struggle against fascism
upon an international scale. In con-

PI. ANES SHIPPED
TO RUMANIA TO
FIGHT u. S. S. R.
Believed to Have Come
from France

BUDAPEST, Hungary, March "a.
A large consignment of airplanes 10
reported to have comprised of the
cargo of the Italian steamer Aphrc-
dite when she docked at the port of
Costanza.
The source of the consignment
was not disclosed but it is believed
to have been France.
The airplanes mark the latest unit
to be added to the preparations
which the Rumanian government,
under the supervision of the French
and other imperialist nations is
making for war upon the Soviet
Union.
Bucharest, the Rumanian capital,
was long the Headquarters of the
French General lie Rond during his
stay in the Balkans and Poland as
unofficial military adviser to the
governments of the buffer states.
lie Rond is at present in charge at
Danzig in the Polish corridor, the
port thru which the greater part Of
the munitions shipments are pour
ing into Poland and Rumania.
The Rumanian government is re-
ceiving the first of the arms ship
ments for which it arranged with
the Czecho- Slovakian branch of the
Skoda Munitions Works.
The imperialists regard Rumania
as the natural base for their inva-
sion of the Soviet Ukrainian Repub-
lie which borders Rumania on the
east
Plans for this invasion from Ru-
mania and from southern Poland
have been disclosed.

|. LONDON TRADE
UNIONISTS To
HOLD BIG RALLY
Left Wing to Support
Clothing Workers

LONDON, England, March "a
A huge mass meeting of all Lon
don trade unionists has been ar
ranged for April 20 by the new left
wing trade union-the United Cloth
ing Workers Union.
Unionists of London are acquaint-
ed with the reasons why the Lon
don district of the old and reac-
tionary Tailors' and Garment Work
ers' Union led a movement for the
formation of a fighting organization
and split with the traitorous crew
in control of the old union.
Leaders of the Left wing trade
union movement, which is gigantic,
will address the meeting along with
Samuel Elsbury, the leader of the
Left wing United Garment Work
ers.
The creation of the Left wing
needle trades workers organization
was the result of CHESAPEAKE and
boss-cooperation policy carried on
by officials of the old union, which
eliminated in their selling out of
the heroic 13-week strike against
the Rego Clothiers, Ltd, in Edmon-
ton.
After sabotaging and blocking all
chances of successful conclusion
to this brilliant and much heard of
strike, the unions national official
dom delivered the final stab-in-the-
back by removing from leadership
of the strike S. Elsbury, who was
the unions London organizer. The
London union refused to obey the
order to dispense with Elsbury, and
organized a movement to build a
new union.
The Left wing unions constitution
unalterably commits itself to "recog-
milton of the fact that the interests
Of the clothing workers are funda-
mentally antagonistic to those of
the employers, and can be defended
By a union prepared to struggle in
order to secure the realization OF
a militant program"

the other side of the river. And
his face in these moments of awak-
ening must have been lighted by
fantastic fires.
Small Events.
In the twilight Vassili Alexeievich
passed the Alley of Marat. Through
crack in the fence somebody shout
ed at him in terrible voice:
well fix you all right"
There was the tramp of feet run
ming over the wasteland.
When he came home, Nadya sat
near the table blowing her nose into
rolled-up handkerchief, wiping her
eyes. She turned angrily away
from Vassili Alexeievich. He sat
down on the couch. She began to
speak.
"Can't you understand that you
are compromising me? God
knows what they are saying in town.
Today that rotter Raisa tells me
with a nasty look-'You've grown
stout, darling Utyovkin is behav-
ing like a scoundrel, he almost
doesn't notice me. / wish l were
dead. All thanks to youw
Her lips were swollen, her hair
hung over her eyes. ,Vassili Alexeie-
vich, shocked, said quietly:
"Nadya, / don't understand"
She turned and looked at him with
her Redeemed eyes in such a way
that he Immediately lowered his
head.
81 knew beforehand that you
would answer, 4 don't understand.
What don't you understand? You
walk around town like a lunatic.
On the market place everybody
knows-there goes the bridegroom
They just about roll with laugh
ter. :. II. The bridegroom! :"
"Nadya, thought that it would
come of itself. I. :"
"What? Marry you?
1t wouldn't hurt you if you really
tried to get well. ;"
Nadya pushed away the plate
with the uneaten food, went into
her room and lay down. Vassil
Alexeievich's head was filled with
such chaos that he had to sit OF
the stoop. His head was in The
grip of leaden hoop, and he clunl
fast to the steps, unable to decide
to rush to Nadya, awaken her, tt
tell the sleeping girl: "Nadya,
love you. Nadya, l am suffering
Nadya, have pity, I want you.
l am lost" In the darkness the dos
Shark approached him, smelled hi
knee, and suddenly, scratching tn,
ground with her paws, turned int
ball and her old teeth cracke,
fleas on her headquarters. Beyon,
the low roofs, beyond the starlings
nests, still spread the dead orang
light of sunset. The sky was i'm
penetrable. Leaves rustled in tn
neighbors' orchard behind the fence
OF course, Vassili Alexeievich di,
not decide upon anything, nor di,
he understand what had happene,

veins like the rosy liquid they sold
in glass retorts at the fairs.
He would show her the project of
railroad station. 'Nadya would
nod her head.
"Good; l like it, Vassya. But it
isn't very practical. l like little
houses with fences. A swing,
gnome on the lawn. Mignonette,
sweet peas. That is my dream. ="
Vassili Alexeievich did not argue,
he smiled. He decided at last "to
open her eyes, She must see the
Azure City. It was foolish to talk
about it. 1t was necessary to show
it. She would understand. 1t was
not for nothing that they had fed
the parasite" four weeks.
Vassili Alexeievich took a piece
of canvas from his mothers trunk,
put a ground on it, and carefully.
unhurriedly began to work in the
hours when Nadya was at the Of
flee. He would close his eyes, and
in his imagination opened a vista
of recessed houses, of the flowery
carpets of the streets, of glass GU
polos, of bridges-like rainbows over
a city of happy humanity.
When his head was too hot from
work and his hands trembled, he
would hide the canvas under the
couch, take his cap and go beyond
the river, not noticing the dust, the
rotten fences, the kindly, bowling
Pikus at the door of his store. On
the other side of the river he would
pace for while in the wet grass of
the lowland, and then lie down on
a green mound, his hands crossed
under his head.
The azure light of the sky poured
into his eyes, the sun baked his
cheeks, bee was busy with a flow
err. The wind would fly near, noisy
in the aspens, gathering the sharp
ish odor of grasses, honey and
dampness from the earth. His eyes
would close, a soft shock would
felicitously sway his body, and he
would sleep. -.

aeroplane, and woman's voice

At last. And he walks
the broad, shining stairs of the re-

Austrian Workers Prepare

sequence of its geographical stu
alton at the frontiers of Italy and
other terror countries, Austria is of
the greatest importance for the in
ternational war front and in partic-
ular for the anti-Soviet front.
|. 1t is still more important for the
international anti-fascist front that
the struggle against Austrian fas-
cism should not be forgotten. Capt.
talist Austria is an important link
in the chain of fascist countries, and
in consequence the Austrian working
class represents an important link
in the chain of the international
anti-fascist front of the struggle
against the fascist dictatorship.

Vassili Aiexeievich Buzhehinov re-
turns to his home town to recuper-
ate from nervous breakdown in
Cured while a student at the School
of Architecture in Moscow. Buzz
heninov had fought thru the Civil
Wars and is now filled with fever
ish dreams about rebuilding Moscow
according to his own plans. At
home BuzheninOv falls in love with
Nadedzhda (Nadya) Ivanovna, his
mothers ward, beautiful, 22-year-
old girl, who is the sole support of
the household. He spends most of
his time brooding about her and
about his plans for rebuilding Mos
cow. She is not very sympathetic.
In beer parlor Sashok Zhigalev,
a chance acquaintance, points out
to him UtyOvkin, office manager in
the place where Nadya works. who
has been rejected by her and is now
very jealous Of Buzheninov. Buzz
heninov wanders out and sits down
brooding by the river. There an
old Red Army comrade, KhOtyaint-
sew, meets him. Buzheninov talks
ardently of the days of the past and
expresses his disgust with the life
about him. The story now jumps
to an official investigation held
sometime later, with Khotyaintsev
testifying concerning this meeting
with Buzheninov.

is tragic. ;"
I tried to speak to him in his
own language. He was silent,
sighed, and L thought that I had
persuaded him. Anyway, in part
ing, he said:
Thanks. If I have enough health,
manhood, and strength, I'll try to
fight on the peace front. You are
right, it is tragedy; I can't enter
into everyday life and become part
of it, nor can / remain an individual
and stick it out all by myself"
Beyond the River.
The mud and rains were over.
Came the sunny May days, across
the skies swan snowy mountains
with blush chasms. In the town it
was dusty in the alleys, and the
fences began to smell bad. But be-
yond the river it was very fine
green.
During these few weeks Vassili
Alexeievich gained weight and be-
came stronger, his shoulders
Strengthened. He felt much more
rested, not as before when the ends
of his nerves grew white-hot over
the smallest nothing. 1t seemed
that in a little while his former
health would return.
1t was only the lack of money
that was hard to bear. Although
Nadya did not even drop a hint,
still it was felt that a parasite was
in the house. Give him cabbage
soup every day, and bread and milk
and sugar. Even Matryona once
yelled about the parasite" across
the fence to a neighbor.
That spring Nadya could have
bought herself muslin for a waist
but. she did not buy it. The waist
was eaten up by Vassili Alexeievich
1t was impossible to get work in the
town, all the offices were filled
there was talk of laying workers
off. The only reasonable thing tc
do was not to lose time and to pre-
pare the necessary work for the
autumn. With some apprehension
Vassili Alexeievich began to work
Nadya even praised him.
II have told them in the office al
ready that you have begun to draw
they were laughing at you, all Of
them"
Vassili Alexeievich rose at dawr
now. Matryona helped him witt
the pitcher to wash himself in tn,
courtyard. "You'd better drink ;
little warm milk. / won't tell any
body" He would sit down to tn,
table over his sketches, scratching
one bare foot, which the flies wer,
tickling, with the other. Whel
Nadya would wake up behind tn,
wall, he would suddenly be all ears
Turning his head, with open mouth
gripping his pencil. he would lool
at the wall. And he would catcl
himself at it: "Fool, how foolish
