DAYTON SECTION IS
ORGANIZED FOR ACTION

DAYTON, Ohio.-For the first
time in District Six of the Commun-
list Party section convention was
held in the section of Columbus,
Springfield, Dayton and Cincinnati.
Here a section committee was ell
ected and plans for future activity
were made to build the Party and
the Trade Union Unity League in
this section. Most Of the delegates
were new members and great en-
thusiasm was shown, and determin-
alton to root the Party in the chem
ical plants and among the colored
workers, as we'll as organizing shop
nuclei in other industries.
1t was definitely decided to make
the section headquarters in Dayton
as the center of the section. In
Dayton the Communist Party is new
and we have only in the last two
or three months organized the Party
and brought the message of Com
munism to the colored and white
workers. The response is shown By
the organization of the Party, and
by already establishing a permanent
headquarters.
The headquarters in Dayton, for
the Communist Party, is situated at
1882 S. Jefferson St., right in the
heart of the city. The Hall will be
used as a workers center, and we
expect to hold regular classes, read
ing circles and make the workers
of Dayton feel it is their headquar-
tiers. On Saturday June %, will be
the first opening, or "housewarm-
ing" Everyone is invited, white and
colored workers, to celebrate the
opening of the first Communist
headquarters in Dayton.

BAIL SET ON SIX

Mass Protest Forces
Court, AFL Action

ATLANTA, Ga, June 10. - The
court has set bail for the six or
ganizers held here with intent to
electrocute them for organizing Ne
gro and white workers. Since Mon
day the International Labor Defense
attorneys have been fighting for a
reduction and continues the strug-
gle. The bail, fixed after many de-
lays and every attempt to not allow
them bail at all, is $4,000 each for
NJ. H. Powers, district organizer of
the Communist Party, and Joe Carr,
Young Communist League district
organizer. They have been in jail,
Carr in the death cell, since the be-
ginning of April.

The court demands $4,000 each
for Anna Burlak, southern repre-
sentative of the LID; Mary Dali
ton, district secretary of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, and
Henry Newman, representative of
the American Negro Labor Con-
gress. For Henry Storey, Atlanta
Negro worker, the bail fixed is
$1,000. The last four have been

were arrested for calling an AN.

Local friends have raised the bail

World Labor Protests.
1t is generally understood here
that the authorities are worried over
the mass protest, and the volume
of denunciation and flood of solu-
lions from workers meetings and
organizations that have poured in
on them since the arrests. 1t is
undoubtedly this mass pressure
alone that has caused them even to
fix bail at this late date.
Rejecting the rising tide of pro-
test sweeping into Atlanta, the At
lanta Federation of Trades has
adopted a resolution meekly asking
for freedom of speech and assem-
bly,, and fair play" for the six
jailed Communists. But they have
created no machinery with which
to enforce such a demand, nor can
they be looked to for any genuine
action in the situation, merely max
ing the usual gesture of a request
for a "fair trial" from the lynch

Geneva Disarmament Meet Again Delayed

The preparatory disarmament
commission at Geneva was originally
scheduled to meet this summer.
Later it was compelled to postpone
till November. Now, the contradic-

extent that the imperialists dare
not stage another conference in
the near future. Hence the per-
sistent reports that the date will
have to be postponed again.
