NEW YORK UNIONS
AND LID. PROBE
POLICE AMBUSH
Those Blackjacked On
Aug. | Testify

NEW YORK.-The international
Labor Defense, together with
number of labor unions has today
organized a Labor Investigating
Committee to determine the facts
of the vicious police attack which
followed the Anti-War Demonstra-
ton at Union Square on Friday,
August LIST.
The committee will consist Of
members chosen by unions and other
labor organizations who will hear
witnesses and render a decision.
Hearings will be carried on at the
Labor Temple, at PAP East 18th ST.,
near End Ave. They will be open
to the public. The first hearing
will be today, at 10 a. m.
Two members already chosen are
James Carr, designated by the
Metal Workers Union, and Chris
Popodopolus, designated by the
Food Workers Industrial Union.
Among those unions who will de-
signate additional members at meet
ings tonight are the Needle Trades
Workers, Industrial Union, the In
dependent Shoe Workers Union, and
the Marine Transport Workers In
dustrial Union.
The first witnesses to be heard
will be Beatrice Deer, a young girl
who was carried into the offices
of the Daily Worker spattered with
blood and suffering from severe in
juries; G. Morgan, another of the
wounded, who was subpoened by
Mulrooney's Investigators but was
unable to appear because he was
still in bed as result of his in
juries; Bridget Fairy, a bystander
who was also among the injured,
and B. Ballad, another bystander.
"To expect from the policies in
vestigation of its own brutality any
thing but a distortion of the truth
is ridiculous" says the international
Labor Defense.
"Our experience with the police
has repeatedly proven that its con-
Germ is not with the rendering of
justice, but rather with doing every
thing possible to intimidate workers

M'DOnQld Rule
Brings bbIess to
Over2,OOOOOO

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Official un-
employment figures published yes
terday show that unemployment
with the help of the Macdonald
labor" regime is actually greater
than ever before in the history of
British capitalism. The figure is
we'll over the 100000 mark. While
the Macdonald social-fascist re-
gime points out that unemployment
was higher only once before, in
June 1921, when 2,580,429 were
registered as unemployed" the
fact is that at that time hundreds
of thousands of miners were on
strike.
More than 10000 workers lost
their jobs in the last two weeks.
Many firms announce that they
will fire a large number of their
workers.
Macdonald won in the election by
putting forward false promises of a
solution for unemployment. Every
promise the labor" party put for
ward has been broken. In fact,
Macdonald and his cronies took the
lead in the wgae-cutting and strike
breaking campaigns. He heartily
u'pp port e d the naturalization
schemes of Mond and others, which
threw thousands out of work. 1t
was MacDonald's police that beat
up dozens of workers when they
demonstrated on March 6, demand
ing employment. When a delega-
ton of unemployed went to the
labor" minister, Margaret Bon
field, demanding a solution of I'M
employment and adequate relief,
she had them thrown out.
Besides shooting down Indian and
Chinese workers who rebel against
Imperialism, besides helping the
bosses to cut wages and increase
the ranks of the unemployed, Mac
Donald fights against all attempts
at adequate unemployment relief.

Daily Worker:
Dear Comrades:
On May % a wage cut was posted
here at the M. r. Smith Single, TO-
take effect June /. However, the
workers were determined not to take
it and walked out. The bosses began
recruiting scabs Immediately, the
first being short-lived, however, for
with Comrade Taylor, of the W.I.R.
in the lead, the T.U.U.L. boys and
striking weavers, they shut the mill
down. Scabs (rats) being plenti-
full, the mill owner soon brought
more from Everett, 200 miles away,
but not a full crew, which seemed
hard to get.
Scabs Brought in.
Comra lie Taylor again took the
lead with the boys following into
the bunk houses, under a barrage
of tear gas bombs, and succeeded
in shutting the mill down till July

rat crew. These rats were brought
in in fast cars piloted by deputies,
all armed with sawed off shot guns

FRENCH STRIKERS
CLASH WITH COPS
MORE WALK OUT
All Workers Support
General Strike
Wireless by Inprecorr.)

PARIS, Aug. Yesterday noon
bloody collisions took place in
Haulin between strikers and police.
Cavalry attacked 1000 strikers.
Twenty workers were injured, re-
ceiving sabre cuts. Many police
were hurt by sticks and stones
welded by the strikers. Belgian
scabs were manhandled and driven
back. Buses bringing them into
the strike region were overturned.
Reports to capitalist newspapers
here state: "The strike in northern
France has extended further" The
latest report sent to the Daily
Worker by the Inprecorr declared
more than 100000 had walked out.
The strike began in protest against
fake social insurance bill, that
tried to saddle the workers with the
burden, instead of the bosses and
their government. 1t extended into
a general strike for higher wages.
Many workers have won higher
wages, particularly in Rouen. In
Lille, the street car workers,
though remaining at work, voted to
furnish the strikers with strike
funds. All workers not yet out
have passed resolutions supporting
the strike. A cable from Paris to
the Journal of Commerce admits
that "The strike has now assumed
general proportions throughout the
country following the walkouts
since Monday"

Mass Protest Admitted
By Commission

NEW YORK. - After three
months delay the New York parole
board has handed down decision
sentencing William 2. Foster, Rob-
ert Minor and Israel Amter to six
months and Harry Raymond to ten
months Jail terms. Even this is not
final, for the special sessions judges
who tried" them without a jury
and with practically all defense
witnesses barred, and absolutely all
testimony of police brutality barred,
must pass on the proposed sentence
of the parole board, and can in
crease it if they wish. Further
more, in answer to direct question
by the Daily Worker re-
porter, chairman John c. Maher, Of
the Parole Commission, stated that
there is absolutely no time limit
during which the judges must az.

delay and subterfuge in this case,
and the allied assault charge aginst
all four and Lesten, the fifth mem
Der of the delegation elected March

continued Imprisonment.

can OVERLOOK.
Green's talk with Hoover
about mo wage-cuts" was
camouflage for an intensive
drive for further wage-cutting,
undertaken by the bosses, with the
help of the American Federation Of
Labor officials. A complete ex-
posure of the waGe-cutting drive
already on, and the intensified cam
paign yet to come, is exposed (not
for the workers) by one of the
leading newspapers of the bosses,
the Journal of Commerce Aug. ~.
Here is what the bosses say:
"As matter of fact, wages
have already been considerably
reduced in a good many branches.
The reduction has come about in
this way: Union laborers unwill-
ing to work at less than scale
have accepted work oftentimes at
as little as half their regular
rates in other occupations. Thus
for example, many skilled work
men are now engaged in road
making. Other employees have
actually accepted tentative cuts
in order to enable plants to run.
These have been camOuflaged in
a good many cases-sO it is re-
ported-by one means or another.
The point is that the effort to
keep wages up to the excessively
high levels established in various
trades where agreements existed
has been unsuccessful, except on
paper; and in those cases where
scales have been more or less
strictly observed, it has resulted
in falling off o employment to
such an extent that the net in
come of the employee has been
largely reduced. He has had
fewer days work at nominally
high pay and the rest of the time
he has been idle.

Eleven gunboats of United States

TOSSES
PART OF LINE
PLAY

Once the Southern Methodist
University team discovers that it
can pass over the heads of an
opponent, the Mustangs never
hesitate to run up q high score.
For example, look at several
games this year, 8. M. U. "a,
Austin 0. s. M. U. ~, Indiana 0.
When s. M. U. passes don't
click then results the score
s.. M. U. 2, Texas 25. That in q
nutshell is the s. NJ. U. idea, all
or nothing.
Against Notre Dame this year
s. M. U. passes raced with Notre
Dame runs for the highest score
and as a result the game hung
in a balance until the very end,
when Notre Dame nosed ahead q
last minute touchdown, 20 to II.
A Navy scout who happened to
be at South Bend that day asked
Rockne If the Mustangs had wor.
ried him much with their passes.
"Oh not so much" the genial
mentor. replied, but just the
same I think I need cart load
of aspirin right now!"
The s. M. u. crowd likes
to pass SO well that they some
times use short passaS as part
Of . line play. No restrictions
on passes appears to be their
rule, or absence Of rule.
"Plug" Hughes. Navy scout COW
ering the Mustangs, points out
that the Southerners stand ready
to pass on their own 1-yard line
II necessary.
So far this season Navy has
been up against orthodox teams,
and frankly, the Navy coaches
are scratching their heads over
the Mustang passing game. Navy's
passing defense has been con-
sidered admirable by teams
which average 5 or 8 passes In Q
game to make line plungeS go, but
Just how the Navy can beat down
an attack built around passing Is
another problem entirely.
If s. M. U. passes get working
against Navy it Is just possible
that the Annapolis line viii be-
come discouraged, in which case
there is the sad Indiana game for
a.. example.
Against Notre Dame this sea-
son, S. M. U. was the first to
score, and the touchdown result
ing from a long pass. Mason to
Kaufman. Things will be all
right when Rock puts in his
power team" a local fan explained
to Navy's Scout, he's just warm
ing UP the spectators"
But as the game neared its
end things were not 50 rosy
for s. NJ. u. and Notre Dame
stood II to IA.
Quoting South Bend paper on
that day the closeness Of the game
was emphasized - "HySter1A
gripped the crowd in the closing
minutes of the game when Notre
Dame threw all its forces into the
game, rushing the ball deep into
Texas territory on successive tries,
trying to break the tie" Any
team that can do that to Notre
Dame isaSomething to reckon with.
In the Texas U. game the
Methodists came out on the
small end Of Is to Z. s. M. y.
made no alibi but neutral OBJ
servers have pointed out that the
Steers sent a charging line
through and tied up the S. M.
U. passers, and converted one at
tempted pass (for the first time
in Methodist history into a
touchdown.
1t was q game in which
s. M. u. passes were not run
ming against a. strong line
running team.
The defeat administered by
Texas in no way dampened s..
M. U. enthusiasm, for it has
been reported that w. H. Hit
zelberger, who looks out for such
things, is making UP four Spe-
cial trains from Dallas to Bal.
