DETROIT, Mich, May 2.-Five
thousand workers demonstrated here
in Cass Park, the first demonstra-

government has a rule to bar all
workers meetings.
A thousand workers took part in
the factory gate meetings on the

In the evening 1000 attended the
meeting in Danceland Auditorium.
The bosses took special measures
to prevent the workers from COM
ing out on the street. In many
cases they provided lunch, and ra-
dios at noon. But mainly they re-
lied on intimidation, and by physi-
cal force prevented the workers
from coming out.

|. "Organize Unemployed Councils
on to July National Convention
of the Unemployed" is the slogan
of the thousands of jobless workers
who did so much to prepare for
and participate in the huge May
Day demonstrations throughout the
country. Among the main demands
of the demonstrations, were those
of the unemployed: immediate re-
lief, and unemployment insurance
paid for by the city and state
governments out of funds in the
treasures and from special taxes
on profits and inheritances; seven
hour day and five day week, no
speedup on the job, etc.
Pat Divine, national secretary of
the Councils of the Unemployed,
stated yesterday:
at was no accident that high
spot in >the May Day demonstra-
tions was the serious determination
of. the masses to fight for social in
surance and for Work or Wages.
Especially significant was the
recognition by the employed and
unemployed workers of the fact
that the crises of unemployment
cannot be solved by an appeal to
the charity of ''liberal philanthropy
lists" but only by decisive struggle
against capitalism.
Now For Conventions.
May Day, however, was only the
beginning of the struggle. "a mile
stone on the way. The toiling
masses of the country whose at
tention was so sharply focused on
unemployment as the basic contra
diction of capitalism must now grid
their loins for the building up of
the Mass National Unemployed Con-
vention in Chicago on July A and

mines, mills and factories must be

Over 5000 workers marched from

slightest violation of regulations,
The police terrorism during the
preparations for May Day was Sc

The District Office of the Inter

the vicious campaign of the carl

against the workers who We're pre-
pairing to mobilize for May Day, and
the arrest of 100 workers during

The IA Pioneers were released. The
adults are still in jail, because it is
impossible for the LID. in the time
of mass arrests to place bail of
such fabulous sums in many courts
in the city. Through the efforts of
the LID. the bail was reduced and
they will be out today.
Seven members of the Young

Central Committee of the Com
munist Party, U.S.A., has is
sued the following statement:
Afternoon papers of May End
carried reproductions of alleged let
tiers by the Executive Committee Of
the Communist international to its
alleged American agencies. These
letters have been supplied by Com
missioner Whalen and are purport-
ed to be intercepted by his UNDER
cover agents!'
commissioner Whalen accom-
panies his disclosures with state
ment that after the United States
Labor Department and the labor
unions had produced strong circum-
stantial evidence about the role of
Moscow in American labor battles,
the whole matter was turned into
the hands of the Bureau of Grim
inal Information. The documents
reproduced in the press represent
the result of the work of this
Bureau.
"The Central Committee of. the
Communist Party of the U. S., after
a first brief examination of the
copies of the documents in the news
papers declares most of these let
ters to be stupid and criminal for
geries. 1t challenges Commissioner
Whalen and all those who cooper
ated in the 'unearthing Of these
documents to produce publicly the
sources of these scurrilous for
geries. They are nothing less nor
more than a second but more IL
literate edition of the Sisson docu-
ments. The establishment of the
sources of these documents will I'M
cover another anti-Soviet forgery
center. If Commissioner Whalen
and his 'co-workers' refuse to do
this, they will be branded as ac-
completes and protectors of the
forgers.
"The forgers knew that they
could speculate upon the credulity
of their customers irrespective Of
the miserable quality of their pro-
duct. They have a precedent in the
Sisson documents. After British,
French and other government
agents and newspapers had re-
jected these documents" America
bought them and presented them to
the American public as the appall-
ing discoveries of their Secret Serv-
ice apparatus. The forgers could
speculate upon the credulity of their
customers because they know that
there is an economic demand for
evidence against the Soviet Union.
District Attorney Fickert, of San
Francisco, knew that Oxman was =
perjurer; but he needed witness
against Mooney, thus the perjurer
Oman was transformed into an

AMERICAN PRODUCTS
Commercial Interests Plan Adver-
Using Campaign for South and
Central America.

Short waves as a means of projecting
into South and Central America a con-
ttnuing advertising campaign for Amer
lean products Just as they are COM
mercialized over broadcasting stations
In this country is the plan of American
commercial interests.
BY removing present restrictions
against commercial rebroadcasting, the
plan is to invade foreign nations, par
Gcularly Latin America, with domestic
sponsored programs. Such an appeal
has been made to the Federal Radio
Commission by the Westinghouse Elec-
trio g. Manufacturing Co., which would
tnaugurate the international American
broadcaSt1ng service over its present
relay broadcasting facilities, which now
are licensed only experimentally.
Time would be sold ever this short
wave station, operating with 10000
watts of power, to American concerns
just as practically all American broad
casting stations derive their revenues.
The Westinghouse station, at East
Pittsburgh, covers many South and
Latin American countries, and its "ex-
perimental" programs, which have
been broadcast since 1922, are picked up
on short receiving sets. AS matter of
fact, its programs are received in all
sections of the world
A hearing on this application will be
held before the commission October IT.
Westinghouse then will endeavor to
have lifted the present experimental
barrier. There are serious doubts, how
ever, as to whether the request will be
granted, for it is probable that others
of the 40 stations licensed for expert
mental relay-broadcasting will seek
similar privileges, with consequent
scramble for the few assignments
which then would be available
For the radio industry alone, it is
believed by Westinghouse, there would
be lucrative field in Ssuth and Cen
trail America, which as yet has been
unexpected by American interests. TIC
pick up programs broadcast by Ameri-
can stations, hundreds of short-Wart
receivers have been purchased by resi-
dents Of these countries But the Eng.
lish and German concerns have monop-
oiized this business, by virtue of prior
entry into the field.
American radio manufacturers coulc
sponsor programs over the relay broad.
casting arrangement and thereby
create goodwill and market for theil
products In these countries.

Infection makes fat
Glands overocfive

Dandruff is caused by overactivity of the
fat glands of the scalp-which expel greasy
whitish substance known as sebum:
This overactivity is the result of infection,
many dermatologists claim. They advise inn
mediate treatment. Whatever the cause, this
activity should be checked lest the condition
continue and cause eczema, falling hair, and
badness.
