10000 Meet in Berlin.

BERLIN, Germany, Aug. 2. -
Tens of thousands of workers struck
in Berlin yesterday on the Commu-
mist Party call to finish work early
in the afternoon and come to DEM
onstrations. Strikes took place in
the departments of Siemens, Baum
ion, and General Electric works, in
the Potsdamer station, and in the
Sarotti, Lorenz and other factories.
Metal, building, shoe and cigarette
workers flocked out on strike.
The Communist demonstration in
the Lustgarten, led by Communists,
was composed of approximately 140,-
600 workers. The social democratic
counter demonstration at Friedrichs-
balm drew at the most about $4,000.
The Communist demonstrations bore
fighting character, while the So
cialist meetings were very tame.
There were no serious incidents,
but much police jostling.
A number of workers were ar

For New Union Center
Denounce Treachery of

The official call to the working
youth of the United States to join
in the building of new trade union
center by supporting the forthcom-
ing Cleveland Trade Union Unity
Convention has just been issued by
the Youth Committee of the Trade
Union Educational League.
The convention will be held Aug.
31-Sept. and delegates from the
major industries of the U. S. will
be present. At least 20 per cent
of the delegates will be working
youth, it is expected.
The official call of the Youth Com
mittee follows:
"The National Committee of the
Trade Union Educational League has
issued a call for the formation of
a new trade union center to be or
ganized at a convention in Cleve-
land, Ohio, Aug. 31-Sept. 2. This
Convention is of great Importance
to the working class youth of this
country.
'In no country in the world is
there such a great percentage of
young workers as in America. Out
of 40,000,000 workers, 100000
! are young workers and 100000 are
child laLorers. This is direct re-
suit of the rapid process of ration
alization. With the continuous de-
velopment of new machinery the
skilled workers are being replaced
by unskilled laborers, the bulk Of
which are young workers.
Youth Most Exploited.
at is we young workers who are
the most exploited section of the
working class. 1t is we young work
ers who, as a result of rationaliza-
tion, are being speeded up, working
for long hours and for low wages,
under unsanitary conditions. The
bosses not only exploit US, not only
give US the hardest and dirtiest
jobs, but also use us against our
own fathers and brothers, because
we are not organized into militant
trade unions which would protect
our living conditions.

prosecution to second degree

When interviewed at Gastonia
upon their release, the girls were all
quite indignant that they should be
shown any preference on accounts
of their sex. "The boys are not any
more guilty than we are" Vera
Buch said very emphatically. "In
our opinion this is gesture OF

peal to publ, opinion. We would

Work Harder Now
"Our release is a confession of
the weakness of the prosecutions
case against all of the class war
prisoners" declared II year old
Sophie Melvin. But of course the
union and the LID. will now have
to work harder than ever to prevent
the mill owners who control the
courts in Charlotte as well as in
Gastonia, from succeeding in their
desperate effort to railroad us all
to either electrocution or the penit-
entiary."
"This change in the line of the
State against US, including the
granting of the motion of the de-
fense counsel for a change of venue,
is to be interrupted as an attempt
to preserve the illusion of impartial
ity, fairness and democratic justice
to delude the workers, to lull them
into passivity. We will help the
LID. to- fight against this" Amy
Schechter, the oldest and most ma
ture of the three declared.
The girl said they had contributed
their library, accumulated during the
past seven weeks in Jail, to the thir-
teen boys still in Jail charged with
first degree murder. These books
include a few novels but most OF
them are on economics and socio-
logy. There were several books by
Lenin among the collection.
Can't Expect Fair Trial
The girls were positive that
neither they nor the other strikers
and organizers who will be tried or
August 26 in Charlotte, can pos
sibly get a fair trial, claiming that
the class Of people from whom the
jury will be drawn in Mecklenburg
county will be prejudiced against

slider that the change of venue will
