the left wing and the Communist
Party are the hope of the American
working class"
Many large left wing unions are
continuing to announce their en-
thusiastic support of the May Day
demonstration at the Coliseum, it is
announced.
Win Workers.
Win the workers for the Commu-
mist Party, is the keynote of the
May Day appeal issued to the New
York working class by the New
York district of the Communist
Party last night, through Bert Mil
Ter, organization secretary.
Condemning the attitude of the
socialist party which, in the midst
of growing unemployment, calls at
tention to the beauties of spring, the
call declares:
The socialist party calls upon
the workers to celebrate May Day
in recognition of the beauties of
Spring. We, the Communists,
call upon the workers to celebrate
May Day by taking their places
in the red army of the class strug-
gle. We call upon the workers to
celebrate May Day, the interna-
tional revolutionary holiday, not as
something passive and static, but
rather as spur and challenge
to take up the struggle with re-
newed energy and vigor. The
beauties of spring which the So
cialist party calls upon the work
ers to appreciate are the CHASTITY
beauties of the vicious speed-up
system, accidents, unemployment,
wage cuts, police brutality, injunc-
tions, discrimination against Ne
groes, foreign born, women and
youth workers, and the growing
danger of imperialist war.
"Win Workers For Party"
Members of the Party, through
your activities in the struggles,
through your self sacrifice, thru
your leadership you have gained
the confidence and the respect of
your fellow workers. In the food
workers strike, in the shoe work
ers' strike, the needle trades
struggle, in the field of organic
ing the unorganized you have TAX
en- the lead You have shown your
courage on the picket line. You
must now use your influence to
bring new proletarian elements
into the Party. Don't hide the
Party under a bushel. Make an
open appeal to the best elements
in the ranks of the workers. Win
them for our Party on May Day,
the day of the rising world prole-
tariat. Let us celebrate May Day
at the Coliseum with the entry of
hundreds of new members into the
Communist Party to take part in
the coming struggles.

Dear Comrade:
For long time the Negro work

voice of the Negro workers, mob
liking the black workers of Amer

SAY COMMUNIST
is CRIMINAL"
So Tammany Police
Take His Fingerprints

A Communist is evidently Grim
inal in the eyes of the Tammany
police. Norman Sholem, a worker,
has been fingerprinted merely be-
cause he told police that he is a
member of the Communist Party.
Fingerprinting is a procedure to
which, as rule, only persons held
on criminal charges are subjected.
Sholem, who is an active member
of the Party, went to the 18th pre-
cinct police station, 257 Alexander
Ave-, to ask for a permit to hold a
meeting. At the police station he
was asked who was arranging the
meeting. "The Communist Party"
Sholem replied. "And who are you?
he was asked. 81 am a member of
the Communist Party" he said.
He was Immediately fingerprint-
ed without being given any explana-
ton.

CONTINUE FIGHT

FAKE FARM PLAN
Frazier, Hoover Man,
Scores His Treachery

Continued from Page One)
Senator Copeland, democrat, N. Y.
Copeland did not attend today's
party conference.
Senator Frazier, N. D., is fighting
for debentures.
Senator Frazier Leaves Hoover.
Judging by his recent state
ments," Frazier said, 81 have been
forced to conclude that Mr.. Hoover
did not mean what he said in his
campaign talks about agriculture.
Frazier support Hoover in the
campaign as did Brookhart who yes
terday made similar statement.
Meantime the house steamroller
moved along with its job of flat
tening the weak opposition to the
administration bill, which it passed
today, minus the debenture plan.
There was today the same aversion
to record votes which give the farm
electorate accurate proof Of the
treason of the men farmers have
elected. Three committee amend
ments were adopted by Shouts of
"aye" from the majority when they
were offered at the outset of the
session by Chairman Haugen. One
specified that money should not be
loaned to cooperatives to build ware
house and marketing facilities in
localities where there are already
sufficient warehouses and market
ing facilities.

GUN PLANTED ON
FRENCH WORKER
Had Been Active in
Cafeteria Strike

tCOHCWUeU from rage OHeJ
tional Labor Defense Immediately
took up the defense of the worker.
Its attorney, Jacques Buitenkant,
succeeded in having the bail reduced
to $500 and Perier has just been re-
leased for trial at later date.
Is Active Militant.
Perier is at loss as to the exact
motives of the frame-up, or the per-
son or persons behind it. He is
member of the Communist Party
and has done much propaganda work
among the French workers in this
city. This, together with the fact
that he has actively aided the cafe
terra strike, may have led to this
effort to railroad him to Jail on
fake charge.
The New York District of the
international Labor Defense also
has secured the release on $500 bail
of Stephen Mesarosh, who was ar
rested while distributing leaflets of
the Trade Union Educational
League near a nickel and copper
factory in Long Island. Mesearosh
was severely beaten over the head
with a blackjack by the police be-
fore being taken to the Long Island
police station. He will come up for
trial in the Long Island Magistrates
Court next Monday. The LID. will
defend him.
Fights Deportation.
The New York LID. has also
started an active fight to prevent
the deportation of Mario Giletti,
anti-fascist worker, who is now fin
ishing two-year sentence on
framed charge in the state prison
in Comstock, N. Y. Giletti will be
released at the end of this month
and the immigration authorities
have informed him that he will be
deported back to Italy where torture
and possible death await him. Isaac
Shorr, attorney for the LID, is
nov in Washington, fighting the eff
forts to deliver Giletti over to the
fascist hangmen.
The New York International La
Dor Defense is appealing for i'm
funds to fight these as well
as many other cases now in its
hands. The LID. has just con-
tributed $500 to help defend err
rested cafeteria strikers, thus
further depicting the defense funds
of the organization. Contributions
should be sent to 799 Broadway,
room 422.

The Hoover Wheat Prices"

nv iApONNi w L AANNos
CHICAGO, April %. (UP).-
Wheat prices fell to the lowest
levels since 1924 shortly after noon
here today when heaviness at Winni-
peg caused commission houses and
professional traders to put large
quantities Of the May deliveries on
the market. After falling nearly
215 cents, prices steadied materially
on buying by profit-taking shorts.
Weakness in all North American
markets was induced by the sudden
checking of export inquiries.

selling at Slip, July $1.1G 3-8 and

The Independent Grocers' Alliance

sands Of members scattered across
the continent at one and the sam
time.
In thirty-two states Of the union.
there will be local territorial mass
meetings Of all Of the wholesale
a retail members Of the /. G.. A.
on Monday night and these meet
lngs will be directed from the New
york studio Of the Columbia Ma
tional Broadcasting chain.
From the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
from the Atlantic seaboard TO the
Rookie mountains, these members
VIII be gathered together Monday
night at the great mass meeting in
their local areas, for the first ma
tional radio conversation Of its kind
on record.
In addition to the novelty Of the

But il was not TO be. The quartet

Cadek, hearing Of his friend In the
city, sought him out, and on DIS
covering that his illness had pre-

at once gathered his fellow artists
about him. To them he told The
story Of the sick youth-of his love
OF the violin which he can no longer
play, Of his desire TO hear again the
melodies Of the strings, touched BY
the hands of artists and not as re-
corded on the disks Of the phono-
