TOBRERA MURDER
Great Manila Meeting

MANILA, P. l., Feb. 2.-Ten
thousand Filipinos, bearing wreaths
denouncing the murder by American
Legion machine gunners of a Fill
pino worker near Watsonville, and
the bombing of Filipino club house
in Stockton, CAL, attended a mass
meeting here today.
The bourgeois politicians and
Catholic clergy were out trying their
best to drift the resentment of the
Filipino masses into harmless
courses. A priest named Jose Mer-
cado delivered a public prayer for
the repose of the soul of Fermrl
Tobrera, the man killed at Watson
vile. Representative Thomas Con-
fesor and Dean Jorge Bocobo spoke
of independence for the Philippine
Islands "but only by peaceful
means"
The real applause, however, show
ing the temper of the masses,
greeted speakers who shouted: "The
Americans were welcomed to the
Philippines with open arms, but
Filipinos are welcomed in California
with coffins. Rise and seize the
island!"

GERMAN JOBLESS
HOLD CONGRESS
In All Countries They
Prepare for Feb. 26

Reports from Germany Sunday
stated that the Congress of Unem-
ployed at Hamburg opened at noon
on Saturday, as scheduled without
trouble" though capitalist sources
admit that police attacked many
groups of unemployed marching on
Hamburg. At Berlin, the Socialist"
police chief, Zoergibiel, apparently
seeking to provoke a bloodbath,
dramatically announced raid on
Communist plotters" at Konig's
Inn, where he stated II Communist
chiefs" were arrested. Likewise
tanks were sent into the streets
menacing the tens of thousands of
jobless workers, while the police
raids were going on, and, through
out the day, Saturday, in which
Zoergibiel announced revolution"
was scheduled as engineered by "the
Red General" Heinz Neumann.
This provocation by the socialist"
government against the workers is
undoubtedly an effort to manufac-
ture justification for outlawing the
Communist Party, and to check the
unemployed of the millions of job
less who are organizing and prepar-
ing for the great demonstration on
International Unemployment Day
on February 26.
The fight against the growing
mass unemployment in all capitalist
countries, to eliminate in an inter

The momentum of preparations

faxed "pitch" by workers and are
under this pretext now attempting
to railroad hundreds of workers to
Jail. All over Germany sharp at

will be remembered that similar at
tacks marked the prelude to the
break with the Soviet Union in
