W.IR. APPEAL FOR
LUMBER STRIKERS
Struck Against Wage
Cut; Militant

NEW YORK.-An appeal to the
workingclass throughout the coun-
try to come to the immediate aid
of the militant lumber strikers of
Moelips, Wash, was issued yester-
day by Marcel Scherer, national
secretary, Workers international
Relief, $40 Broadway, New York
City.
"The lumber workers of Coclips,"
Scherer point out, "went on
strike on May 28 when the M, R.
Smith Single Co. cut the workers
wages. The workers went out
100 per cent and under the leader
ship of the Trade Union Unity
League. As soon as the strike
started secretary Taylor of the
W.I.R. arrived on the scene and or
ganized relief machinery for the
strikers and their families. The
wages of the workers having been
so low when they were working
made it necessary for relief to be
given to the workers at once. None
of the strikers had any money saved
and are depending for the W.I.R.
for food SO they can continue their
militant struggle.
Terrorism is being used in an
attempt to drive the workers back.
Deputy sheriffs with sawed off shot
guns are patroling the strike re-
gion, according to reports from
Moelips. The bosses have shut off
the lights and water from the
workers homes; evicting those who
live in company homes. They are
preparing to attempt to run the
strikers and their families out of
town hoping in this way to break
the strike. This is the first large
movement of Pacific Coast workers
since the Imperial Valley strike in
California. Its signifiapce to the
entire American working class can
not be over-estimated. The work
ers must continue on strike, the
picket lines must be maintained.
Food and shelter must be provided
for the strikers, their wives and
children. 1 appeal to all workers to
rush funds from your organizations
and in the form of private contribu
tons to the Workers International
Relief, 949 Broadway, N. Y. From
here we will send the money to the
strike region"

WORKERS GROUPS BACK
DAILY WORKER CARNIVAL

NEW YORK.-Many workers or
CARNATIONS are urging their mem
bers to attend the Daily Worker
Picnic and Carnival Sunday at
Pleasant Bay Park. The committee
in charge states that building the
Communist press is an effective re-
tort to the Fish Committees plans
to throttle the labor movement.
The picnic committee states.
"This picnic will be a real mass
international affair. The Interna-
tional Workers Order issued call
to every one of its members to par
ticipate in this mass demonstration
for the Daily Worker. The Work
ers' Clubs likewise decided to bring
every one of its members and SYM
pathizers to the Daily Worker Pic
mic Carnival. The Hungarian Work
ers' Clubs are buying blocks of
tickets for their members; the
Greek and Armenian comrades will
be there in full force.
"The program for entertainment
at this picnic will be the best ever
arranged. The German Proletbuhne
is going to produce one-act play
entitled 'Strasse frei.' Various
Workers Singing Organizations will
be there. Workers playing any in
struments are requested to bring
along their instruments for this af-
fair.
every worker must come to the
Daily Worker Picnic Carnival in
Pleasant Bay Park, Sunday, Aug

The following letter was sent to
the Esthonian weekly, Us Ulm,
from the Galveston county jail by
the seamen whe are kept there for
the violation of immigration laws:
"Editor:-In this Jail a number

to reach the outside world and

impossible.
"A few months ago person

these questions, one of the prison

BALDWIN AND RENEGADE
'VHITEWASH POLICE DEPT

NEW YORK.-Following publ
cation of the Labor Jury's unani-
nous decision Saturday, that the
New York police department delib-
erately ambushed a number of
workers on their way home from
the August 1 demonstration and
blackjacked them, two groups pos
ing as friends of labor rushed to
the defense of the police depart
ment.
Roger Baldwin, head of the Civil
Liberties Union, said:
1--WE must praise Inspector
Bo.an for the very fair manner
in which he conducted his in
vestigation into the riot on Aug
ust l. 1t is clear that the police
department is not guilty in this
case. 1t is also clear, however,
that Captain Day in charge of the
reserves is solely responsible for
the attack which resulted in six
injured"
The New York American this
morning quotes Jay Lovestone, q
renegade from the Communist
Party some months ago, as stating
'The American Communist
Party in its eagerness to show its
Moscow masters that the revolu-
ton in the United States is Just
around the corner, must whip UP
the enthusiasm of its adherents
to the point where the workers
and police clash"

Often we are placed together in the

The room is about s cubic meters

one of them. Some of the men
have been kept here more than five
months already.
Il have been a seaman for many
years, but l haven't seen such con-

INSTITUTE THUGS HURL
SEAMAN DOWN STAIRS

NEW YORK.--With typical thug
brutality, special policemen at the
Seamens' Institute, Is South ST.,
threw Al Trayers, member of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,
down the stairs upon the pretext
that the worker was drunk.
Travers sustained possible frac-
ture of the skull when hurled down
the stairs. Examined by doctor
he was exonerated of the charge of
being drunk, and found instead to
be suffering from an attack of the
flu, causing weakness in his legs
and spell of light-headedness.
A fellow seamen who witnessed
the brutal act of the Institute
policemen volunteered to testify as
to the behavior of the thugs, an
impertinence the Seamen takers
could not stomach, and he was told
to clear out.

FLYWE|GHT CHAMP
TO EMERGE FRIDAY
Genaro-WoIgast Bout Due
to Produce Recognized
Holder of Title.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
N YEW YORK, December a.
M frankie Genaro of New York
and Midget Wolgast of Phila-
delphia clash in Madison
Square Garden Friday night in a IS
round bout that should give the fly
weight division its first generally rec
ognized champion in several years.
Genaro is recognized as 112-pound
king by the National Boxing Associa-
ton, while Wolgast is champion in the
eyes of the New York and Pennsyl-
vania State Athletic Commissions.
Barring a draw, a new and rightful
holder of the crown should emerge.
Genaro, at %, is true veteran OF
the ring. He won N. B. A. recogni-
ton as f1yweight title holder by VIM
ming a Canadian elimination tourna-
ment two years ago. In much the
same manner, Wolgast survived the
field in an elimination tournament
conducted by the Garden here last
Spring and as a result gained the APP
proval of the New York and Pennsyl-
vania solons. He is only 81 years old
and in the opinion of many experts
will prove too fast and shifty for
Genaro. Frankie has been knocking
around the rings Of the United States
He has lost much of his speed, but
still has lots of stamina and much
better punch than Wolgast.
This bout Is the only one OF any
Importance on the National schedule,
most other boxing centers forgetting
about the caulihowers until after the
holidays.
