ging viciously, and freely using
their clubs. Mounted police rode
their horses into the workers ranks
on the sidewalks.
A riot call by the police soon
brought over a score more of po-
lice, who charged into the workers
with clubs drawn. They shouted de-
nunciations of the Gil government
and the jears for the police re-
doubled as arrest followed arrest in
rapid succession.
The Is arrested were taken to
the Thirtieth st. station, where they
were held without bail for hearing
at Night Court. The workers had
not been sentenced as this edition of

The All-America Anti-Imperialist
League, thru its secretary, William
Simons, yesterday issued a state
ment characterizing the demonstra-
ton before the Mexican consulate as
"a sign of the growing opposition OF
the American workers to American
imperialism in Latin America and
of their growing support of the
struggles of the colonial workers
and peasants for complete indie
pendence from imperialism"

Seeds of Freedom" in
Second Week at Cameo

Maximum of internal, minimum
of external" This is perhaps the
most important creed of acting that
has ever been spoken. 1t is the say
ing of Stanislavsky, director of the
Moscow Art Theatre, and it is a
secret of success of this organiza-
ton.
The saying has gone on from Sta
nislavsky-it has gone on from the
stage-it has become the watehword
of the Russian cinema, particularly
of L. NJ. Leonidoff, who is regarded
with Ivan Moskvin as the greatest
actors of Russia.
Leonidoff who amazed the entire
cinema world with his Interpretation
of "Czar Ivan," will be seen at the
Cameo Theatre, for a second week,
commencing today, in his latest film
Seeds of Freedom" In the new
film Leonidoff achieves new honors
in dual role.
When Belogoskino, one of the pro-
ducing companies of U.S.S.R., be-
gan the filming of the life of Hirsch
Lekkert, they requested Leonidoff's
aid in casting the film. They found
two roles for which it became al
most impossible to cast. Leonidoff
broke the deadlock by suggesting
that he play both partisan ortho-
dox rabbi and a czarist governor

smashes them, or drives them over
the line. When the Chinese mer-
cenaries have opened fire with ar
tillery or machine guns on Soviet
posts across the border, there has
been return fire from the Red Army
unit the warlords' artillery is wiped
cut or silenced, but not a general
attack.
Beat in 20 Minutes.
Tass news agency (Soviet Russian
Telegraph Agency reports in Mos
COW that Thursday night the Chang
Hsueh-iang troops in the Pogran-
itchnaya territory began furious
attack on Red Army border guards.
After only 20 minutes fighting, they
were repulsed, with losses.
From the same source is an ac-
count of artillery and rifle fire by
Changes army on Soviet guards near
Dalainor and Station Sc on the
Trans Siberian Railroad, five miles
west of Manchuli station. Return
fire silenced them.
Invade Border.
White guard Russians in large
numbers crossed the border 35 miles
southwest of Pogranitchnaya and
tried to terrorize the local popula-
ton. The raiders were chased away
by Red Army detachments.
All of these skirmishes are repre-
sented IN Marking and Mukden as
attacks by hordes of Red soldiers,
against which the Chinese army
'bravely defends ITSELF" wit h
tremendous battles developing.
Times Growl Epic.
The special correspondent of the
New York Times in Shanghai, re-
ports the Pogranitchnaya situation
as follows; Having established to
their own satisfaction and to the
CONSERVATION of the Chinese the
ease with which they can take cities,
the Russians have withdrawn from
the smoking ruins of Pogranitch-
maya, etc."
This refers to the fact that Sun
day and Monday the Chinese mill
tarists crossed the border near this
town, were repulsed, and retreated
to their strong fortified positions in
Manchurian territory, which opened
up fierce bombardment of the U.
S. S. R. troops to cover their own
retreat. When the artillery and
airplane duel was over and the
Soviet airplanes stopped dropping
bombs on the warlords' forts, the
Chinese army was practically dis
banded, bandits looted Pogranitch-
maya, and the Chang troops stopped
only at Mulin, 40 miles to the rear.

POLICE CLUB 400
NEGRO WORKERS.
SMASH MEETING
Communist Candidates
Hold Another
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
The crowd, 95 per cent Negro work
ers, booed and Kissed. Just before
Moore was seized, the crowd hac
loudly cheered his statement that
"The Communist Party is the only
one that stands for unity of white
and Negro workers"
After pushing over the platform
the police attacked with complete
brutality, driving the crowd towards
138th st.
/ Ambulance Used.
Steve Mesarosh was arrested and
so badly beaten over the head that
he had to be taken to the police
station in an ambulance. The po-
lice told the reporters that he "fell
off the ladder" (the speakers
stand) which is untrue because
Moore was the only one on the stand
during the raid.
Moore was arrested. Weinstone
was arrested, but released.
Rebecca Grecht, Communist Party
district campaign manager, and
Rose Rubin, a section campaign
manager, were badly beaten. Thru
out the attack the police particu-
larly sought to club the women.
Both were arrested.
Others arrested are Ethel and
Ruth Shipman, Paul Rymorcsko
and Ann Collins. All will be ar
raigned in Washington Heights
Court this morning, before Judge
McQuade.
Police were so massed at 138th
st. and Lenox Ave-, that an adver-
tised meeting could not be held. The
police did not permit the stand to
be erected.
More than half dozen times
the police have smashed the Commu-
mist Party open air meetings at
18th st. and Seventh Ave. The
last meeting, held Sept. 4, resulted
in IS workers being arrested, in
GLIDING Richard B. Moore, Commu-
mist candidate for Congress in the
21st district. Negro and white po-
licemen beat up more than a score
of workers and shot point blank
into the crowd.
Blame Police.
The responsibility for breaking up
the Communist Party meeting in
Brownsville Thursday night and
creating a riot, lies wholly with the
Fammany police, is the charge
made by the Campaign Committee
in statement issued last night.
The report in the capitalist and So
cialist press to the effect that the
"incensed" Jewish audience broke
up the meeting and that the police
protected" the Communist speak
ers, is entirely without foundation
in fact, the statement declares.
The fact is that the mass of the
audience of over 1000 workers
showed Enthusiastically that it was in
agreement with the speakers. 1t
is true, organized socialist-fascist
bands were on hand from the time
the meeting opened, but their at
tempts to create a disturbance were
well taken care of by the Commu-
mist defense guards and the au-
dience. Finally, when Comrade
Harold Williams mounted the plat
form, the socialist fascists made a
new attempt to disturb the meeting,
shouting insults at the NEGRO
bastard" The police used this as
a pretext to pull Williams off the
platform and called out the police
reserves to quell the indignant au-
dience which theoretically protested
against this interference with the
meeting.

have two more looms to manage.
