1000 at a meeting in Minnesota
Park, all very receptive to the ar
guments of the Communist speak
ers.
The International Labor De-
tense picnic brought out about 1000
with Ann Burlak as chief speaker.
The distribution is being especi-
ally concentrated on Republic Steel
Corporations Central Alloy plant,
and on Timken Roller Bearing.
These two run the fascist police
force here. Four workers arrested
for distributing leaflets were re-
leased through a flaw in the ordin-
ance.
Practically all plants are closed
down here, with promises of re-
opening August a at reduced wages.
The first August meeting in
Massilon, Ohio, will take place this
year. Leaflets have been issued.
The chief of police "forbids" the
demonstration, but Section Organ
izer Douglas of the Communist
Party told him he would be there.
Massilon is run by another branch
of the Republic Steel.

were robbed and then either slain
or roughly handled" This, of course,
is bourgeois description of a scene
that can be easily understood by
any lass-conscious worker.
Almost all the capitalist press are
getting hysterical about such le-
gends as that which insist that the
Communists have burned the whole
city. Close examination of the news
discloses the fact that fires began
to burn in various parts of the city
Eat midnight on Sunday before the
arrival of the Red troops" (Herald
Tribune, July 30). The same report,
of course, attributes the task of
setting fires to "local Communist
sympathizers," but all who are ia
miliar with military affairs, know
that it is much more logical for re-
treating troops to devastate the area
which they know they will lose, than
for the would-be victor to destroy a
city that will soon be theirs.
Despite their desire to see Chang
sha burn like Nero's Rome, so that
they will have some more "crimes"
of the Reds to report, the capitalist
papers are forced to admit that the
Yale University Hospital and the
post office are not on fire.
]
A cable despatch to the Herald
Tribune yesterday revealed the fact
that out of $500 troops garrisoning
the city of Changsha, only $500 re-
treated with their commander, Ho
Chieng, while the rest, 5000 strong,
all joined the Red Army. All re-
ports estimated the Red troops at
lacking the city to be 10000, armed
with rifles, and under the command
of the well-known Communist gen
eral, Comrade Peng Te-Huei.
The city is so firmly held by the
workers, peasants and Red Armies
that the capitalist papers, which usu-
ally seize every preteXt to predict
the immediate fall of any Red re-
gime are, in this case, forced to
grant the Communist control of the
city at least ten days lease of life.
The capture of Changsha, in addi-
ton to Yochow, which was captured
short time ago, gives the Commu-
nists control of the two key cities
in the province of Human. This vic
tory, together with the seizure OF
Nanchang and the imminent fall OF
Kiukiang in Kiangsi province
makes the establishment of a Soviet
Government of South China an i'm
mediate possibility. AS a result, the

ORLEANS SCAbS
SHOOT PICKET

NEW ORLEANS, La. - July 30.
- The New Orleans strike for one
hundred per cent increase in wages
of the river dock longshoremen, led
by the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, is creating a tense situation.
Already there has been firing on
the pickets by the bosses men and
the scabs. A Negro Marine Workers
Industrial Union organizer, Alex
Reed, is reported shot and sent to
the hospital.
The strike is very likely to spread
to other docks. The Morgan Line
longshoremen are favorable. The

ers are ready to come out. Senti-
ment is generally favorable all
along the waterfront.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union has gained five hundred men,
bers.
Permit to hold an open meeting
has been denied by the police. The
meeting will be held tonight with
out permit.
Monday there were fifteen pick
cts arrested. Yesterday forty-five
were arrested.
So far, it is known that -four
have been fined, and their cases APP
pealed; four are out on bail, six al
dismissed, and most of the rest are
held for trial.

hard to find. At Washington,
A. F. of L. offices, it was said that
they were located at 144O Broad
way, New York, but that turned
out to be another Woll organization,
life insurance company, and en-
ployes said no one there was en-
powered to speak for the wage
earners conference"
Woll keeps this organization in
his pocket and gets funds for it
from the very bosses in the United
States who head the wage-cutting
campaign and lead in preparation
for war against the Soviets.
ALL. Fights Lumber Workers.
DIR. Willis Compton, secretary
and manager of the National Lum-
Der Manufacturers Association,
supports Woll in his strike-breaking
and war-mongring activities. 1t is
this Manufacturers Association
which fights against the American
lumber workers and is responsible
for the Centralia frame-up.
Just now the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association is in
the midst of a wage-cutting cam
paign. Of course, not a word from
Woll on this, as his object is to
direct attention to war on the Soviet
Union to keep the workers in the
U. S. from fighting these wage
cuts.
No worker should be fooled by
the apparent change of policy as
announced by Hoover. Not one
single change has taken place.
The war preparations are being
rushed. The basic reason for the
quickened war plans, the growing
success of the Five Year Plan in
the U.S.S.R., and the betterment of
the conditions of the workers there,
while in capitalist lands the crisis
worsens and the standard of living
of the workers is forced down, still
exists.
Meanwhile, in the United States
billions are being spent for war
preparations. Cruisers and bomb
ing planes are being built. A huge
ammunition plant is rushed to COM
pletion in Arizona. The contradic-
tons of the capitalist powers grows
apace. The election of the Bennett
conservatives in Canada sharpens
the war danger. Millions more are
being thrown out of jobs to face
starvation. Wage cuts pile up by
the hundreds. The workers are or
ganizing to fight these cuts, under
the leadership of the Trade Union
Unity League. The attacks against
the Communists by the imperialists
are growing.
More and more workers are being
enlisted to fight against the grow
ing war danger under the slogan
of "Not a penny for ornaments,
all funds to the unemployed in the
form of unemployment insurance.
Out on the streets on August LIST
and into the mass demonstrations
against the imperialist war man.

COPS BREAK UP
PHILA. MEETING

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 90. -
Following March 9Th and May 1st,
when the demonstrations of the
workers put fear into the hearts of
Mayor Mackey and Director of Pub
lie Safety Schofield, these gentlemen
fastened to declare to the press and
to the pink liberals of the Civil Lib
critics Union that free speech will
continue to exist in Philadelphia and
that no workers organization will
be prevented from speaking on the
streets.
This statement made on the eve
of the primaries of course turned out
to be a brazen lie. The Mackeys,
busy with going to one vacation after
another, when even according to the
census II per cent Of the population
is unemployed, when there is not a
cent for unemployment relief, but
there are scores of millions for graft
by the PR,T. and their agents in
the city administration at such a
time the Mackeys and Schofields,
pulled by the strings of the Cham
Der of Commerce, the Atterburys
and Wares, are of course busily en-
gagged today to carry out what their
masters tell them to do.
Fee Speech a Myth
After the Atterburys and Wares
spoke, the "free speech" of Scho-
field became a myth. Big police en-
forcements are all in readiness at
the waterfront, before the General
Electric, at the Hancock and other
mills in Kensington. The street cor
ner rallies of the Communist Party
are broken up and scores of work
ers thrown into Jail, all as a proof
of the capitalist freedom of speech
and assemblage in Philadelphia.
The Communist Party always ex-
posed the hypocrisy of the declara-
tions of these capitalist policies. The
Communist Party does not beg, like
the Civil Liberties Union for the
right to speak to the workers. The
Communist Party is fighting just as
it does for its other demands, for
the right to use the streets for meet
ings and demonstrations. The cleo
ton campaign rallies to be held de-
spite the police terror, will give US
the opportunity to expose the fascist
terror Of the Atterburys and Mack
eys and to mobilize the workers for
struggle.

Baltimore Workers to
Fight Both August l

BALTIMORE, Nd, July Sc
While the bosses are spending b.
lions of dollars for another imper-
ialist slaughter, thousands Of
workers in Baltimore walk idle I'M
able to get work. Even a capitalist
judge has to admit that there are
500 to 600 rent cases coming up
weekly with so to so families being
evicted. In recent weeks, the
B. & o. railroad shops laid off
$500 workers, Bethlehem Steel sew
eral thousand more, with other mills
following close in the race.
Wages are being cut right and
left and speed-up increased to an
unbearable extent. At Sparrows
Point, wages were cut from Az
to 10 per cent in the tin mills and
2212 per cent in the sheet mills. In
the Eastern Rolling Mills a cut of
so per cent took place. The speed
up at the same time has increased
in some cases (Sheet Mills) over
200 per cent. In the Federal Tin
where young workers are mostly
employed, wages are as low as 81
to Sc week.
Longshoremen Organize.
The workers, however, are begin
ming to put up a fight against these
conditions. This can be seen on
the waterfront where longshoremen
refuse to pay dues to the fake
union and rally under the leader
ship of the militant Marine Workers
Industrial Union. The workers have
also shown their readiness to fight
when several hundred workers in
Sparrows Point refused to work
under the new system of wage cuts
and speed-up and where the police
controlled by Charlie Schwab had
to be called in to force them back
to work. The Communist Party and
| the T.U.U.L. are organizing the
workers for a struggle against
these conditions.
On August first the workers will
show their determination to fight
against wage cuts and speed-up,
against unemployment, a gain st
bosses wars and for defense of the
Soviet Union. The Communist
Party calls upon the workers to
demonstrate on August first at the
City Hall Plaza, p. m. daylight

AVS FAMINE WILL
r RESULT IN SPAIN
FROM TARIFF RISE
)ss Press Uses Familiar Cry About Dumping
of Foreign Goods
ariff Retaliation Directed Mainly Against
American Imports

lADRID, July pa sharp dis
sion is going on in the Spanish
italist press ever the tariff rise
'cted against the United States.
} increased tariffs affect mainly
omobiles, razor blades, and other
lufactured commodities from the
ted States.
"a Voz, San Sebastian, supports
government in its tariff retalia-
l. In an editorial published Sun
it says:
The government has taken a
nified step with the elevation of
ifs recently. since the action
ponds to state of opinion which
es how foreign. governments
ow their agreements to the
)und and reveal their magnifi-
t intentions. We must protect
industry against the dumping
goods on US by foreign nations

which regard their treaties as
scraps of paper"
The cry about dumping of
goods" has a familiar ring. That
the rise in tariff in Spain will not
be void of it's effects in sharpening
the class struggle at home is ad-
mitted by Baldomero Argente de
Cattle, former Minister of Supplies.
"The increased tariff will have de-
plorable results" said Argente. at
may even cause a famine"
Thus are the contradictions of
capitalists on a world scale sharp
ened and worsened. Spain is under
going a severe economic crisis, a
part of the world crisis. Strikes
are raging throughout the country.
The class lines are sharpening. The
tariff, which expresses the struggle
of the capitalist powers in the
battle for world markets, tends to
intensity the internal crisis.
