FASC|STS WANT
RAID ON U.S.S.R
Communist Paper Tells
of War Provocation

PARIS, Jan. 31.-Basing their wild
tales upon yarns of "Soviet kidnap-
ers," the French fascists are clam
oring for a raid by police upon the
Soviet embassy, claiming that the
vanished leader of the Czarist white
guard armies, General Koutepoff, is
being "held prisoner" in the Soviet
embassy, which is absurd, of course.
The Communist paper, "L'Human-
ite," repudiating such conception
as pure nonsense, points out that
such a raid would mean a rupture
in relations and rupture of rela-
lions by such outrageous assault on
established diplomatic rights of en-
bassies would mean nothing else
than that the French government
wishes to precipitate war against
the Soviet Union and seeks some ex-
cuse to provoke hostile relations.
Meanwhile, the ridiculous "disap-
pearance' of the white guard gen
eral continues to be the eXcitant for
all scoundrels who wish to attack
the Soviet Union. First, 11-year
old boy told tale of seeing the
general kidnapped by policeman
and a mysterious "lady in grey"
But there are competitors, and now
dozens of people with vivid magma
tions are reporting similar sort of
"kidnappings" in all sections of
Paris, with scores of mysterious
automobiles" lurking about "myster-
ious houses with mysterious la
dies" in grey and other shades of
apparel.
The plot has thickened, as Doctor
Watson would say, by the discovery
that the general had $4,000 francs
on deposit in a local bank which
seemed to exist illegally as fraud
ulent institution. This was discover
ed by police raid on the bank. But
the general himself in still missing.

PICKET AGAIN AT
M|LLERS MARKET
Food Clerk Held on $500
Bail in New Frameup

Another worker was arrested in
still another picketing of Millers
Market, 161st ST. and Union Ave-,
Bronx. The Food Clerks Union
goes right on to win this strike,
despite the fact that the police sta
toned here killed Steve Katovis on
Jan. 16.
The boss, whose business is
smashed by the militant picketing
of the union and the disgust the
patrons show towards his murder
tactics, is trying to hide behind a
big sign, claiming his market is a
union shop. The Food Clerks are
determined to prove to everybody
that it isn't.
The picket arrested yesterday is
being framed; he is held on $500
bail, and his trial comes Monday.
The unions organization cam
paign is proceeding well, and shops
are signing up or continuing older
contracts daily.

Davis has been Juggling figures

The American Federation of La
Dor, under pressure Of the mass un-

to announce that more than SO pei
cent of the building trades unior
members are unemployed. What
the A. F. of L. did not say is that
in some cities more than IS per
cent of the building trades workers
are employed.
A dispatch to the New York
World says: Because of the pes
simistic reports by Miss Perkins and
the A. F. of L., as contrasted with
the optimistic statements of the
president and Secretary Davis, it is
being whispered in certain circles
that perhaps the labor secretary has
been trying to put over fast one
on the employment statistics"
The Daily Worker has not been
whispering but has been shouting
out loud the fact that both Hoover
and Davis have been deliberately ly-
ing about unemployment in an at
tempt to forestall mass action of the
growing army of jobless workers.
In the present sharp crisis ir
the United States, the main func-

the change in the Spanish govern

the contrary, his policy only inten-

capitalist Spain. The industrial
