81 was one of those who were
fooled into joining the army during
the world war. Before we left Gas
tonia we were told, Your job will be
waiting for you when you come
back They made all kinds of heroes
out of us. Well, what happened
when we came back is a different
story.
"They first shipped me to France.
1 was wounded there" and Pink
showed the deep scars of his wounds
on his leg.
"Then we were sent to fight
against the Russian workers, only
we didn't know we were going to do
that, before we arrived in Vladivos-
tok. But we soon found out what
we were in Siberia for. We were
there to put down the Russian work
ers, and we were sent there by the
boss class.
II and other men in my company
saw that these workers were being
driven into slavery by the white
troops and the Japanese troops,
whom we were aiding to occupy
Vladivostok at that time.
Officers Lies.
II saw that they were fighting for
workers government, the same as
we ought to have here. The officers
tried to tell us that the Bolsheviks
were beasts, but we saw that these
workers treated us American boys
just as if we were their brothers.
"Wen, we decided we wouldn't
fight 'em. So we went over to the
Russian workers. side, to help them
win their freedom. Some of the boys
stayed there, and are still in Soviet
Russia, ever since that day, helping
to build workers government.
II was imprisoned for months by
the army officers. Then they framed
me up, and confined me to the army
hospital, saying / was drunk, etc.. all
lies, just to punish me for helping
the Russian workers. They scattered
us thru the Philippines and Hawaii
to punish us.

was fought. 1t was nothing but q
war made by the capitalists and we
workers were the goats.
Manville-Jenckes Slavery.
"There's many a war veteran
among the Gastonia strikers, and
we won't help the capitalists in the
next war that they start. We know
that the same bosses we are fighting
in Gastonia are part of the gang thai
makes the wars"

500 Workers Turn Out
For Street Meeting of
Downtown Unit 2, YCL

Over 500 workers attended a
street meeting held under the aus
pieces of Downtown Unit 2 of the
Communist Youth League at seth
st. and Ninth Ave. Tuesday night.
Although shepherded by a squad of
Tammany police, the meeting was
allowed to proceed without moles-
tation after those in charge had
procured the regulation flag of
American Imperialism, which the
bulls at first insisted should cover
the banner of the unit.

HOOVER ADMITS
UNEMpL 0YMENT
Says May Investigate
It Sometime

WASHINGTON, July 4.-Presi-
dent Hoover, who never during the
election campaign abandoned his
position that there was no unem-
ployment problem, no matter how
much evidence was presented to
show there were millions out OF
work, today admitted in effect that
he was spreading nonsense.
In answer to one of the typically
sycophantic letters of a state fed
Grafton of labor head, praying for
him to do something about finding
out the causes of unemployment,
Hoover wrote today:
Sometime"
II believe it is desirable that an
exhaustive inquiry should be made
into the subject. / am in hopes that
when some of the momentarily
pressing problems of the admins
tration are out of the way we will
be able to take it up
Hoover's Especial committee OF
recent economic changes" in it's re;
port admitted the throwing out Of
employment of millions of workers
by the introduction of machinery
but sought to salve over this sore
in modern life by saying that "leis
ure is consumable" and that chow
ever great a hardship introduction
of labor saving machinery may b.

sion that an unemployment situa
ton exists, his conference plal

Denounced by Upper Harlem |. L. ID
Executive Member.

This brutal exposition of what
workers now confined in Gastonia
prison are in danger of was de-
nounced last night by Solomon Har-
per, executive member of the Upper
Harlem Branch of the International
Labor Defense. ''The Negro workers
of the South should be organized
with their fellow white worker
slaves into defense unions of work
ers to overthrow the slave system
which is grinding the white and
black workers to death in many
ways. Detail plans Of general
protest and defense meeting will be
arranged at our next executive meet
ing. We shall expose the republican
campaign vote catchers, who submit
anti-lynch bills yearly to the CAPT
talistic' congress only to keep "old
time" Negroes voting for the party
of Wall Street.
at was only yesterday that the
capitalist press published column
of bunk to the effect Only 4 Negroes
lynched this year. and at once the
bosses introduce again the American
Pastime of brutal lynching of Willie
Mcdaniel. Only the Communist
Party can be depended upon to drive
the system out of existence and any
Negro worker who fails to accept the
principles and become a member of
this international Party which freed
millions of minorities from brutal
pogroms in old Russia may sooner or
later expect to be traeted in the
same way as young Joe Boxley, 19,
who was lynched in Almo, Tenn,
June /, the same day the Harlem
Tenants League paraded thru A
blocks of Harlem protesting against
landlordism, and carrying slogans
such as defend the Soviet Union
"We shall fight for the Soviet
Union of America which will come
as sure as lynching will stop by
forced mass strength of the workers
and members of the Communist
Party. A membership meeting of
! the /. L. D. will be held at the Har-
lem Labor Center, 235 West 10th
st. Friday evening July 18th"

as intelligent as you are acting so
dumb. You don't belong in Holly
wood, Howell You'll hang around
until you lose your money and self
confidence, and in the end maybe
your health and self-respect."
II wouldn't say that if I we're

II do say it. Where were you until
after o'clock last night? What
were you doing? You look like a

blazing with anger.

cried I know it's none of my af-

He knew then he would have to
see Madalyn again if only to prove
to himself that no girl living could
say the things to him which Sally
OSbourne was saying
They parted at the corner, Sally
with eyes averted as if she dared
not face him, Howell flushed with
anger.
When any woman began to per
sonally oversee his conduct, it was
time for him to do something. His
own sister would not have dared say
the words Sally OSbourne had just
uttered. They were an inult to any
mans God given masculine prerog-
alive of directing his own life.
He walked for blocks. Resenting
it so fiercely that the disappoint-
ments of the day before were almost
erased from his mind. And he de-
termined to return to the candy
shop that very night and wait for
Madalyn.
But when night came he was so
tired that he went directly to his
room and long before midnight was
sleeping Soundly.
At breakfast the next morning he
avoided Sally. Or perhaps she was
avoiding him. At any rate, neither
of them made any attempt at con-
versation. That afternoon he told
Mrs. Benton he was leaving at the
end of the week.
What's the matter, Mr.. Sheffield?
Don't you like your room?"
Yes, indeed. I like that very
much
