The case of Beal and II others
was to have come up in Charlotte

1t is to save these workers from

sentences that the 1. L. D. has an
nounced this coming Saturday and
Sunday as tag days all over the
country. The New York workers
must show their class-consciousness
once more by rallying to the call of

from the New York branch of the

lecting as much money as possible

Attorney Unison, of the Interna-

the first time yesterday to interview
the prisoners in Gastonia Jail. He
found them cheerful, determined to
continue the fight, and happy that
the l. L. D., the w. 1. R. and the
N. T. W. organizers were on the
ground and that the work was going
forward, and their families being
taken care of.
Major Bulwinkle, the attorney for

ANTI-IMpERIAL
MEET TOMORROW
Conference at Irving
Plaza at 2

According to London dispatches,
Prime Minister Macdonald of the
new British labor government an
lounced that Captain Wedgewood
9enn, the new secretary of state for
India, will have "a hard time"
There is considerable Indignation in
he India press about this announce
nent. Leading Calcutta and Bonn
bay papers are pointing out that
Captain Wedgewood Benn will GER
ainly have a hard job in case the
lbor government intends to con-
nue. the policy of merciless oppres-
ion which the Baldwin government
Ised in India.
The announcement, however, is
clearly indicating that the prime
minister of the labor government is
absolutely determined to continue
all the black traditions of British
imperialism in the Indian question.
It will be absolutely inevitable, says
the Calcutta Forward, that every
sincere fighter for the complete in
dependence of India should be aware
If this situation. According to their
dispatches, labor organizations are
expressing deep dissatisfaction and
resentment toward the provocative
oeginning of the labor governments
administration toward India. Mass
meetings and demonstrations have
geen organized in Bombay to de-
mask the already obvious imperial
st designs of the new British cab
net. The attitude of the labor gov
rnment is of course subjecting the
indian labor movement to the worst
expectations, in view of the fact

determined it's policies toward India

,HARCE THIRTEEN WITH MURDER in CASTONIA FRAMEUP
Lifshitz Is Release d
from Welfare Island;
DenOunces Boss Terror

Ben Lifshitz, who, as acting dis
trict organizer of Dist. 2, Commu-
mist Party, was arrested May Is fol
lowing a police raid on the Workers
Center, was released yesterday from
Welfare Island after serving 25
days of 30 day sentence imposed
upon him by Magistrate Goodman.
Lifshitz was jailed when he chal-
lenged the right of the police to
invade the Center, and after he had
refused to take down a large sign
which hung over the building: "Down
with Whalen's Cossacks and Police
Brutality" during the police parade.
During the raid 27 other workers
were arrested and large number
brutally slugged. One was so badly
beaten that he was taken to the hos
pital. Among those arrested were
several members of the Young Pho
neers of America.
Upon his release, Lifshitz told the
Daily Worker:
"Viewed with the vicious frame
up now being plotted against the
Gastonia strikers, my arrest and
conviction pales into insignificance.
However, it shows the sharpened
drive of the capitalist class to stifle
the growing protest and resistance
of the workers against police terror
ism.
"The Tammany city administra-
tion, which is bound hand and foot
to the traction trust and other COM
binations of capital in this city, is
using the administrative powers of
the magistrates to crush the work
ers' resistance.
"Police brutality against work
ers will be only one of the issues
that the Communist Party of this
district will take up in the coming
municipal election"

THREE MORE IRON
BOSSES SIGN UP
New Injunction Order
Is Threatened

Three more bosses yesterday sign
ed up with the striking architec-
tural iron and bronze workers, j.
Rosenfeld, secretary-treasurer of
the union announced last night. On
the previous day five companies had
capitulated and signed an agree
ment granting all union demands.
New Injunction Looms.
The threat of new injunction is
now being made. Yesterday it was
learned that the Grossman Iron
Works, 80 Willow St., Bronx had ap-
piled for an injunction to bar pick
citing. Hearing on the application
will take place before Judge Tierney
in the supreme court, 161st st. and
Third Ave-, Bronx on Monday.
At the same time the possibility
that new frame-up is being hatch
ed against the strikers arose with
the serving of subpoenas upon all
officers of the union by District At
torney Mcclellan of the Bronx. Just
what the purpose of this move is,
is not definitely known, but the
union officials have been ordered to
report in McGeehan's office tomor-
row morning.
Picketing Today.
A mass picketing demonstration
will take place this morning before
the General Bronze Company in
Long Island City, and plans for a
strike mass meeting on next Tues
day have been announced.

HIT C0NCILIATORS

Ger MAN PARTY
Show Hypocrisy and
Opportunist Line
Of Evert Group
Many Delegates Speak
Semard Talks in Name
of Comintern
(WireleSS by Inprecorr.) }

BERLIN, June 13.-The session
on Tuesday afternoon of the Con-
gress of the Communist Party of
Germany commenced with Fischer's
speech, representing the youth. Dab
lem, speaking for the Organization
Department of the Central Commit
tee, declared that lack of proper
ton still existed between Commu-
mist Party influence and Party or
ganization. He called for the sharp
est struggle against reformist dis
ruption and the use of varying
methods.
Where the reformists expel large
masses from the old organizations,
said Dahlem, those expelled must be
held in new organizations, and gave
as an instance the sport and free
thinkers organizations.
Conciliator Speaks.
Evert spoke for the conciliators,
saying that the Communist Party
pursues false tactics in the trade
union question, rendering difficult
the mobilization of the masses
against reformist disruption and the
development of Party influence in
labor struggles. The same mistake
was made in the May Day events
he said. He admitted the decision
to demonstrate was correct, but
claimed the boycott of trade p3,ior
meetings was wrong.
The struggle against the bour-
geois democratic republic as the
present form of the dictatorship OF
finance capital was hindered by the
false tactics of the Party, according
to Evert. He stated that all bour-
geois democracies use terroristic
methods, but this does not make
them fascist. The conciliators,
Evert said, oppose the theory and
practice of the Brandler group, and
also oppose the inner party course
of the Party which reflects q false
policy toward the masses. Evert
declared the conciliators would main
tain discipline and carry out the
decisions of the Communist Party
and the Communist international
while defending their own opinions
within limits permitted in the pro-
gram and statutes.
Winterich, a delegate from Col
ogne, declared that the conciliators
were the executive organ of the
right wingers within the Communist
Party. The conciliators' program is
simply Brandlerism dressed up fol-
party acceptance, particularly re-
garding Evert's analysis of fascism
Social Fascfsm.
Today it is not possible to draw
the dividing line between social-fas-
cism and fascism. The speaker pro-
duced documents proving that the
conciliators built a fraction in Leip-
zig. Winterich concluded, declaring
that the Communist Party Congress

Miss Ishbel danced most of last eve

found time for several conferences with
his staff and to sit for his portrait by
the artist. Tom Van Oss.

The colonies, then have come to play
an invaluable part in the restoration of

They are also of increasingly intimate
interest to our own international buSi-

much needed raw materials and oppor-
tunitieS for American industrial and

Dakar, on the farthermost tip of the
