Outside of the conference the
British imperialists are demanding
an open fight with American i'm

League today a resolution was
passed opposing any reduction OF
the British naval forces and urging
"an adequate provision for laying

the conference are but empty

the serious unemployment now adj
mits that 40 per cent of all the or
ganized building trades workers are
out of a job. The situation in most
of the industries in New York is
the same, if not worse.
The Communist Party, District
New York, calls on the unemployed
workers to assemble at City Hall in
order that they may voice their de-
mands before the city administra-
ton. AS far as we have been in
formed a delegation of leaders OF
the militant industrial unions and
the unemployed will see Mayor
Walker, who has just returned from
a "well earned" rest after the hard
labors of his vicious cossacks who
have beaten up the workers in this
city, who are fighting for decent
conditions.
All the workers of New York,
white and Negro, that are working
or out of job, should heed the
call of the T. U. U. L. and make
their demands effective for work or
wages, no eviction of unemployed
workers, food and clothing for chill
dren of the unemployed, 7-hour day,
5-day week, no speed-up.

socialism being made by the Soviet

Valencia Workers Aid

VALENCIA, Spain, Feb. &c.
The general strike at Sagunto, 20
miles from here, is growing more
militant, with almost daily clashes
between the pickets and the police.
A drastic censorship on the news
papers prevents them from giving
any details.
The workers of Valencia are
pressing for general strike here
too, but the conservative union lead
ers have been trying to prevent it on
the grounds that it will enable Primo
di Rivera supporters to make trouble
for the new military dictator.
Meanwhile the Valencia workers
are supplying food to the Sagunto
strikers, and are taking the strikers
children into their own homes to
support them during the struggle.

Despite Boss Forces

lawyer Charles Solomon, got the in
junction under which Katovis was
murdered; the United Hebrew
Trades, which provides the scabs,
the Tammany judges, who sentence
dozens of strikers for daring to
picket, and the gangsters of the I'M
derworld, who obey the boss and
the scab union and with police help
assault the strikers. A practical
martial law prevails, pickets are at
tackled anywhere near the shop, the
Solomon injunction although illegal,
is still being used-but the Food
Clerks Industrial Union goes right
on picketing and is determined to
win the strike. Two pickets were
arrested Tuesday.
The F. c. l. U. has won a whole
series of shop settlements within
the last few days. Some of them
are: Lenox Dairy, 752 Burke Ave,
Fox Dairy, 804 Burke Ave, S. R.
Fruit Market, I'll Burke Ave-, the
butcher shop at 693 Allerton Ave,
Margolis' butcher shop at 767 Aller-
ton Ave, all in the Bronx. Settle
ments have also been won at the
butcher shops at 2413 Sixty-fifth
St., 3407 Church Ave, 913 Rostrand
Ave, and the butcher shop of Mat
rick, 500 Saratoga Ave, all these
in Brooklyn.
The butcher shop at 967 Aldus
Ave. is still on strike and the men
working there are strikebreakers.
In the trial today of five pickets
arrested in the Millers Market
strike, the judge was forced to re-
lease two, and held three for special
sessions on high bail. Organizer
Cohen was one of them.
Three members of the union, Max
Block, Jack Kerschenbaum and Sam
Kosopolsky came to trial in Sneider
Ave. Court, Brooklyn, and here the
frame-up broke down and the judge
was forced to release the workers.
However, Max Block is being held
on two new frame-up charges,
$1,000 bail on each. The frame-ups
were managed by the injunction
socialists.
One example of these injunction
socialists scabbery is the placing of
union shop" signs on two new
stores opened on 65th st. and on
23rd Ave, Brooklyn. This section
has all the other butcher shops set
tied with the Food Clerks Indus
trial Union. The employees of these
shops, one getting s22 and one get
ting $50 week were not even con-
suited by the butcher section of the
United Hebrew Trades before the
so-called "union shop" signs were
put up, and are getting the same
low wages. The Food Clerks In
dustrial Union will proceed to win
here, too.

past the Seamen's Church Institute,
holy flop house for seamen, and
then turned north and headed for
Wall Street. The demonstration
marched up Wall Street cheering
Porter.
Police Start to Club.
As the demonstration came IN
front of j. P. Morgan's hangout,
the Tammany police started their
usual tactics, clubbing right and left
in an attempt to break the ranks
of the Young Communists, but met
with strong resistance.
Porter was torn from the Shout
ders of his comrades, but immedi-
ately ring of young workers en-
eircled him to protect him from the
clubs Of the Tammany gunner.
The demonstration was broken up
and reformed again on Wall Street
corner Broadway. Here the Tam
many viciousness broke forth anew.
The Police again broke heads left
and right.
Police Arrest Workers.
After arresting David Persilly, a
Pioneer, Officer Schlup dubbed him
and then beat him with his fists
when he tried to rise. Officer Ma
hon was seen punching two girls in
the face when they protested his
beating the young Pioneer.
From the windows of the office
buildings office workers shouted to
the police to let the marchers alone.
Gladstein, Young Communist,
was knocked unconscious by po-
liceman's club and was carried from
the gutter by several workers.
Porter Speaks.
After the battle, the parade
marched up Broadway, and then dis
persed. The Young Communists
went to the Workers Center, 1928
Union Square, where Porter spoke
on his maltreatment in prison. He
bore many scars Of the beatings he
had in jail. In one case an officer
had beaten him with club, because
he was too sick to work.
A statement issued by the New
York Young Communist League
says, in part, that the attack of the
police was just part of the regular
attack of the police was just part
of the regular attack of the capital
list class upon the workers. John
Porter leaves Jail to join the strug-
giles of the workers against the
bosses in spite of all attacks of the
police. Greater struggles approach
The reply to the brutality of the
police is further determination to
struggle"

NEW YORK, June IA safety
wood which exhales its own fire ex-

by Prof. Albin H. Boyer of the Column
bia University testing laboratories.
A 2-inch- thick door of the wood
held back smoke and flames six times
as long as old a metal-covered door.
The protective moisture is a secret
chemical preparation, DR.. Boyer eX-
planned, which is produced right on the
skin of the wood. 1t is like glue, and
is made by the touch of the flames COM
bining with chemical soaked into the
wood.
Wet Skin Retards Fire.
The wet skin retards fire. which. how
ever. eats 1t off slowly, leaving charred
black film. AS soon as this top skin is
eaten, though, new layer forms under
meath because the chemicals impregnate
the wood completely. Only the topmost
layer of molecules, said Prof. Boyer, are
affected at any one moment. They eX-
plode at touch o: flames, throwing out
tiny sprays.
The test was conducted for Henry
Klein, manufacturer, who invented the
process. The metal-covered and the
wooden doors were set in the sides of a
large furnace, the flames licking their
interior faces
The metal-covered door quickly be-
came untouchably hot, passing 100 de-
