100 DAYS FOR
JOBLESS' Leader
Harvey Held Without
Bail in Buffalo

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 23.-
Arthur S. Harvey, Trade Union
Unity League organizer in the Buff
falo district and leader of the unem-
ployed demonstration, has been SEN
fenced to 100 days for his participa-
ton in the March 6 meetings. This
is the second 100 day sentence given
in the attack of the bosses here
against the unemployed workers,
who refuse to starve quietly.
Harvey was also arrested March
IA for speaking in front of the
Chevrolet plant. His trial comes

unemployed workers as soon as he
is free. The International Labor
Defense is fighting for his release.
A mass protest meeting of 500 was
held here March 16.

WALL ST. WRITES
ITS OWN TARIFF
Will Sharpen Crisis
and War Danger

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Mon-
day the Senate will vote on the
Hawley- Smoot tariff bill, which was
written in the interest of finance
capital against the workers of the
United States.
After long wrangling since last
September, with fake opposition
from the so-called insurgent sena-
tors, the Wall Street bosses have
won an overwhelming victory in the
tariff as it will be. finally voted
on tomorrow, 1t will undoubtedly
pass in its present form.
One of the leading features in the
tariff bill, directed against the work.
ers is the provision against revolu-
tionary literature from abroad. Sens
ing the growing rehabilitation of the
workers, the senators, always quick
to act against the working-class,
voted to prohibit any form of work
ing-class literature directed against
capitalism.
The Hawley -Smoot tariff is in ac-
cord with the interests of the big
trusts in the United States in their
drive for world markets. 1t will be
used as a lever to lower wages of
all workers in the United States,
and to increase the monopoly profits
of the imperialists.
The big increases in tariff duties
on agrarian products will help to
intensity the world agrarian crisis.
1t will sharpen the conflict between
the United States and the chief ag-
rarian exporting countries in the
world.
That the effect of the Hawley-
Smoot tariff will be to sharpen the
rivalries of the imperialist powers,
in view of the sharpening world
crisis, is clear by the retaliation
threatened by British, French and
German finance-capitalists.
Al IoLCe, DIS All answer TO oUU

on the importation of American au-

dictate that the lace industry in
France is undergoing the severest
depression in its history. The Ameri-
can tariff will intensity the crisis
in this industry.
This is but one example of the
effect of the Wall Street. Hoover

ing world crisis, it raises the war
danger to the highest pitch.
