League to U, s. soldiers at Fort
Slocum military post.
The leaflets presented the griev-
ances of the soldiers - the bad
meals, the hard drill and mental
labor required of them, the AFRO
gance of the officer caste. These
are contrasted with the full social
equality of commanders and soldiers
in the Red Army of the Workers

food and privileges.
Capitalism, which forces many of
the starving unemployed to enlist

ers who took part in distribut-
ing 100000 copies of the strike
leaflet and $4,000 copies of the
Daily Worker yesterday will
be at Rutgers Square before noon
today. So will thousands of other
workers. They are answering the
call of the United Front Conference,
of the Communist Party, of the
Trade Union Unity League, and of
a dozen militant industrial unions
and leagues affiliated with it. All
the workers organizations repre-
scented at the United Front Confer
ence have called to those in their
ranks, or in the field they occupy,
to come out on strike this morning,
and to be at Rutgers Square before
noon.
Early this morning a specially
urgent appeal was made to all
needle trades workers to strike, to
mobilize at the headquarters of the
Industrial Union, 131 West % ST.,
in the morning for picketing in the
garment section, and to be at Rut-
gers Square before noon for the
demonstration.
To All Needle Workers.
The call to all needle workers, or
ganized and unorganized, employed
and unemployed, came through Ben
Gold, secretary and Louis Hyman,
president, of qthe Needle Tradas
Workers Industrial Union. Both
Hyman and Gold are we'll known
to New York workers as leaders in
some of the most heroic strike
ever known.
"When you strike and demonstrate
today, when you call your shop mates
cut, you are fighting for your very
lives" says the statement. "Fol
capitalism will kill you unless you
kill it," it continues. Capitalism,
we know what it means. 1t means
sweatshops, it means long hours and
low pay, it means inhuman exploit
,a,lcA. It means unemployment and
starvation. 1t means war and more
wars, and particularly war on that
most advanced section of the work
ers, the working class that rules,
that own; and builds the industries,
in the Soviet Union. Put an end to
this system. Strike and demonstrate
today--your fighting against the
whole right wing system, the whole
combination Of bosses, and govern
ment, and the union takers of the
A. f. of l.. who used to sell you out,
who send gorillas to knife you when
you want union conditions, who try
to enslave you with company union
schemes. everything that holds you
down. Strike and demonstrate, your
comrades in every industry, in the
whole wide world will be with you
today"

WORKERS OF THE WORLD
IN MIGHTY STRIKES and
DEMONSTRATIONS MAY |
From Shanghai to Cape Town, From New York
to Yokahoma Workers Prepare
Answer Reign of Fascist Terror By Huge
Demonstrations

Never in the history of the in
ternational working class revoiu-
tionary movement have such ire
mendous worldwide preparations
been made for demonstrations on
May Day. From Shanghai to Cape
Town; from Reval to Calcutta,
India; from New York to Yokaho-
ma-encircling the entire world, in
the capitalist lands, as we'll as in the
oppressed colonies-the workers and
peasants will unite their forces in
mighty show of strength against
capitalist slavery, and against the
growing world crisis of capitalism
which floods the world with unem-
ployed, with misery, with hunger
and devastation. They will demon
strate against the rapidly growing
war danger, and for the defense of
the Soviet Union.
News trickling through the cap
italist press and wires shows clearly
that in spite of the wave of terror,
the thousands of arrests, the capital
lists are not able to squelch the mass
political strikes and demonstrations
called under the leadership of the
Communist International.
In China, May Day will be cele-
brated by the victorious Soviets in
the interior. In Shanghai, despite
| 900 arrests, despite the attempt to
crush the transit strike, and despite
the unity of the Kuomintang with
the imperialist powers, the workers
will come out on the streets against
imperialism and it's hired hangmen
in the Nationalist government.
Bloody Machado is forced to per-
nit May Day demonstration in
Cuba. There will be 24-hour gen.
eral strike throughout Cuba.
In Argentina, for the first time
in the history Of that country, the
president, Irigoyen, has proclaimed
May First holiday. Irigoyen mere
ly recognizes that general strike
will grip Argentina. There is a
rapid rehabilitation of the workers
there, due to the sharpening crisis.
In the far flung empire of Wall
Street, there will be tremendous
May Day demonstrations. In Manila,
the Proletarian Labor Congress is
planning the largest mass political
strike that ever took place. 1t will
call upon all Filipino workers and
peasants to join hands with the
world proletariat for the overthrow
of imperialist rule.

GRAF VISITS BERLIN

BERLIN, June 23-The Graf Yep

have credited with matronly steadfast-
ness paid the World Power Conference
a visit today after indulging in Ca
price of the sky in which her role OF
matron was abandoned for that Of
fapper.
1t was the suns fault. Warmed by
its rays at Hamburg yesterday, the
dirigible's silver nose acquired unusual
buoyancy. 1t suddenly tipped into the
air, and in a moment the dirigible
itself rose high from the ground, with
only a few of its crew aboard and with
officers and As passengers left startled
and apprehensive behind.
Capt. Hans Lehman and the pas
sengers watched the ship above them,
expecting it to be brought back to earth,
but while it cruised about over the city
the crew radioed that there was still
excessive buoyancy and that they would
be unable to land again.
Sails Away to Berlin.
The ship made off for Berlin, and
Capt. Lehmann, frightened by this new
twist in his beauty's character, followed
in an airplane, which he and Capt.
Won Schiller, brother ofhcer, chartered.
The Zeppelin arrived at Staaken Air
drome at 9 pm. and was brought safely
to earth in the cool of the evening.
Her skipper and his aide arrived soon
after and found everything Shipshape
and nothing further to worry about.
Lack Of Ballast Causes MiShap.
It was said that lack of ballast caused
the miShap. Three of the Hamburg
landing crew made the trip as involun-
tary passengers, after having been lift
ed into the air and clambering aboard
through necessity when the ship first
rose.
Previously the ship had made an all
night flight from Munich to Copen-
hagen and at am. had been greeted
by vast crowd of Berliners. 1t left
later for Hamburg to pick up paSsen-

SCHOOL FILM USE
STUDIED BY BOARD
Way Is Sought for Utilization
of neutrality-suspicious.
for Movie ShoWings.

The Board of Education determined
late yesterday to find some way to use
motion picture machines in the COM
bination auditorium gymnaSiums of the
elementary schools, although the Dis
trict fire marshal has steadfastly re-
fused to approve use of such rooms be-
cause they are equipped with movable
seats.
This decision was reached after a
delegation of Woodbridge Parent Teach
er Association members, headed by Mrs.
Phillip Strictly, asked permission to
use the halls in the John Burroughs
and the new Langdon Schools for the
projection of educational films in con-
nection with the regular visual in
struction program. Mrs. Strictly eX-
planned that students of these schools
have been seeing the films in the Sher-
wood Church basement hall, which not
only has movable seats, but which lacks
most of the fire emergency provisions
provided in the school buildings audi
forums
The board granted the request on
condition that the movable chairs be
joined in gangs of three, which pro-
posal DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Superin-
tendent Of schools, said was to be tried
out at the new Paul Junior High School.
At the same time the board ruled that
use of the Sherwood Church hall under
present conditions be discontinued.
Movable Chairs Held Menace.
In the general discussion Of the use
of the neutrality-suspicious. it was
brought out that all of the new school
buildings either are equipped now with
these halls or are scheduled to receive
them with the ultimate completion of
the buildings Each of these combina
ton rooms is equipped with a fireproof
projection booth complying with all the
fire regulations, but none has been used.
Refusal of the fire marshal to sanction
use of the halls, it was explained, was
based on the danger of panic In event
of any emergency which would be
augmented by the possibility Of chairs
collapsing.
It was pointed out that at present
most of the schools use motion picture
theaters for the visual education pro-
gram and that funds for this purpose
are provided by parent groups.
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent, told the board that ex-
istence Of movable chairs in the Sher-
wood Church Hall was "a distinct sur
prise" to both him and Robert L. Hay
