make good his escape. He and Werper were kept
together and there came time when the powerful

PIONEERS PROTEST
TERROR In SCHOOLS

NEW YORK.-Following the ac-
ton of the school authorities at
Walton High School, Bronx, in sus-
pending Jessie Taft, 16-year-old
Pioneer graduate and member Of
the Young Communist League, for
activities supporting the struggles
of the working class, the Pioneers
held meeting of the girls in the
school at which sharp protest was
made against the effort to terror
ize Jessie and force her to give up
her activities for the workers chill
dren.
The young comrade, together with
her father, bluntly told the school
officials that no amount of terror
ization will stop the activities of
the Pioneers and the Young Com
munist League.
Final action against Jessie will
be taken this week by the district
superintendent. The Young Pioneers
and the Young Communist League
call on all workers and their chill
dren to support the fight for better
conditions in the schools and against
the terror being used against mill
tant workers. children.

NEW TURN IN
BRAZIL REVOLT"
RKS WALL ST.
More Evidence of Mass
Discomfort

Following the reports that the
Luis government stepped out OF
power in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the
capitalist dispatches report whole
series of conflicts, showing a sharp
struggle within the various class
groupings in Brazil.
The clique which took over pow
err in Sac Paulo and Rio de Janeiro
appear to be former supporters Of
the Luis regime. The pressure of
mass uprising forced Luis to re-
sign, but he placed control in the
hands of his supporters. These
supporters are now bargaining with
the Revolutionary" forces in the
North and South, to obtain the best
terms possible, and to defeat the
mass uprising which all the capt.
talist papers report is growing, and
which they term as "mob rioting,"
and anarchist" depradations.
Getulio Vargas, leading the in
surgent armies of the important
states of Rio Grande do Sui, Minas
Geraes and Parahyba, where the
uprising originated, has sent COM
munique to the Rio de Janeiro OUT
fit demanding he be made president.
The possibility of further clashes
between these groups is not elm
mated. The Vargas forces are
marching towards the state of Sac
Paulo, the stronghold of the Luis
group.
The rapid change in Brazil has
set the imperialist powers into q
whirl of antagonists. Hoover and
Stimson are arguing that the new
government is really a continuation
of the Luis regime, and does not
need recognition, while the British
are preparing for quick recognition
of the new forces to take march
on the Wall Street government be-
cause of its arms embargo to the
rebels, and because of the big deal
it made with the Luis regime just
before 1t stepped out OF the picture.
There are undoubtedly many
mass battles, under the leadership
of working class revolutionary
forces, which are not reported in
the capitalist newspapers. On Sat-
urday German steamer was
shelled and 81 Spanish immigrants
on their way to Argentina were
killed.
The Vargas note to Rio de Janeiro
declares that the new government
will not undertake any of the obli-
cations of the Luis regime, point
ing to reshuffling of the imper.
ialist alliances, with its sharpening
of the antagonism between Great
Britain and the United States.

Fish Exposes O1On Lwching
Program at Harlem Meeting
Negro Worker Whose Question Penetrated
Bluff Beaten Up by Police; Audience Indignant

The hypocritical Friendship of
Congressman Hamilton Fish, motor
ious Red-baiter, for the Negro
masses was thoroughly exposed at
a meeting in the Metropolitan Bap-
fist Church, 128th st. and Seventh
Ave, at which the Negro petty
bourgeosie, intent upon again de-
livering the Negro masses into the
hands of their enemies, introduced
Fish as ga great friend of the
Negro"
Fish's main object in speaking in
Harlem was to support the cam
paign of Rivers and Hawkins, two
Negro misleaders who help to fur
nish a Negro face to cover up the
treacheries of the republican party.
Fish, in trying to show what a
friend of the oppressed Negro
masses he was, declared that he
supported the principle that where
ever Negroes are in the majority
should control the government, but
when a Negro worker in the audi
ence wanted to know if he supported
the right of Negro majorities in the
South to have their own government
as a guarantee against the lynching
terror of the bosses, Mr.. Fish was
silent. And his gangsters in the
audience taking their cue from his
silence answered the Negro worker
with cries of throwing him out

NEW YORK.-At the city confer

formulating plans for the campaign
to repeal the criminal syndicalist
law, two members of Carpenters
Local, 131, the largest A. F. of L,

Plans to get the 10000 signatures

ers who would not swallow Mr..
Fish's peculiar friendship"
Fish was introduced by Fred R..
Moore, editor of the servile "New
York Age" who did the honors for
the misleaders of the Negro masses,
introducing Fish as "a loyal Amer
ican," and "not like the Communists
who are trying to raise one class
at the expense Of the other" In
both respects Mr.. Moore was cor
rect. Fish is loyal to American
principles of lynching, jim-crowism,
etc. The Communists fight against
those "fine" American principles!
Fish is loyal to his class, the exploit
ing class, and, of course, neither
nor Fred Moore, who also has some
stakes in the system of oppression,
wants to see the working-class in
power at the expense Of the exploit
ing privileges of the bosses. The
Communists, on the other hand, are
strenuously working to mobilize the
oppressed of all races for the over
throw of their oppressors and for
the establishment of a workers and
peasants government in the United
States which, like the government
of the Soviet Union, will abolish all
racial and economic oppression
llynching, pim-crowism, etc.
