6 HURT IN JAIL
RACE RIOT here
Capitalist Jim-Crowism
Starts Trouble

Four Negro and two white pris-
oners at the City Penitentiary on
Welfare Island were injured last
night in a race riot arising out of
the Jim Grow ideals and practices
OF American capitalism injected
even within prison walls.
The riot arose directly as the Re-
suit of the white prisoners attitude
that only one race at time could
use the baseball diamond, and the
apparatus which is bought by the
prisoners themselves out Of com
mond fund. The Negro prisoners
correctly took the attitude that il
the whites did not want to use the

they would certainly not be barred
from its use at any time.

ALL OUT TOMORROW TO
HELP VANITY STRIKERS

NEW YORK.-The strike of the
Vanity Sportwear is being con-
Quoted in the best militant spirit.
The bosses are getting desperate
and are trying to scare the workers
by serving certain individual sum
monses. But the workers are de-
termined to fight until they win,
and no bluff of the bosses will help,
such as spreading rumors that,
"only few Communists are strik-
ing" The workers in the shop are
united and know exactly what they
are fighting for, and will continue
under the leadership of The Ma

wage cut of 10 per cent and
terrific speed-up that has reduced
the crews of eight men to five. A
month ago the workers in this mill
got wage cut of % and a half per

At that time they struck, but a few
of the skilled men were bribed back,
and police terror forced the others
back.
Since then, steady firing of the

sheet mill men have been replaced

Fake Ambush Probe

NEW YORK.-Police Commits
sioner Mulrooney has eagerly
seized on the appeal of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union that he
investigate the bloody ambushing
of workers going home from the
Union Square demonstration Fri
day, and the witewashing is under
way. The Civil Liberties, through
their director, Roger Baldwin ex-
press "astonishment and gratifica-
ton at the readiness with which
the commissioner begins his inves-
tigation."
The Communist Party, however,
IN statement issued by District
2 last night, states plainly that,
contrary to capitalist press reports,
it will not appear at the fake 'in-
vestigation," knowing full well that
the whole hearing is merely an at
tempt to cover up the crimes of
the police.
"The New York police who muir
dered Steve Katovis, Alfred Levy
and Gonzales, who brutality clubbed
and mercilessly beat up thousands
of workers on the picket lines and
in demonstrations, especially in re-
cent months, have convicted them
selves by deeds before the working
class as the paid and armed thugs
of teh Bosses" says the Communist
Party. Workers do not expect
and will not look for Justice or
fairness at a hearing of those who
plan and direct the police brutal
ties"
"The only way the workers car
smash these cunning attacks of the
police is by adequate organization
of Mass Workers Defense Corps.
Workers must defend themselves"
The international Labor Defense
points out how little can be expected
of the murderous New York police
investigating itself, while they have

Many trade unions and pea
SAINT mass organizations were
formed in Changsha and the
vicinity just as in other Soviet
areas as soon as the workers
and peasants took control of the
place.
In the meantime, capitalist dis
patches spread conflicting and self
contradictory reports as well as
Official announcements about the
"re-entry" of Changsha by Marking
troops. Of course, it is the spread
ing and deepening of the revolution
among the masses rather than the
gaining or loosing of a city that is
of decisive Importance at this stage
of the Chinese revolution. The re-
ported evacuation Of Changsha by
the Red forces, if true, might pos
sibly be a temporary strategical
move in preparation for a bigger
and more important engagements in
the near future.
The bigger move may very likely
be made in or about Hankow, the
second largest industrial city in
China and once the seat of a revo-
lutionary government in 1927. The
advance guards of the Red forces
have already approached within rs
miles of the city. There are numer-
Gus indications of intensified acti-
vities of militant workers in the
city of Hankow, eight of whom
were already executed by the Koum-
intang government in the last few
days. According to cable dispatch
to New York Chinese newspaper,
the entire force of 1000 gendarmes
in Hankow was disarmed by gov
eminent troops because most of
them were found to be Communist
suspects. Martial law is still in
force in Hankow.
The imperialists are, on the other
hand, also concentrating their
forces around Hankow, where seven
foreign gunboats have already ar
rived. Two of the seven are U. S.
gunboats, sent there to protect the
interests of Wall Street, and keep
the Chinese masses in subsection.
Four Japanese destroyers are
steaming from the Sasebo Naval
Station to Shanghai to strengthen
the forces already there. War
clouds of large scale imperialist
military Intervention in China are
gathering fast.

The Communist Party and the

with the support of the masses, call
for a steady broadening of the
strike. 1t is realized here that now,
when the capitalists are trying to
throw the burden of crisis and ra-

tine to make a stand. The strike
started over attempts to force the
workers to pay for social insurance

SONldl lis vi dllSS OH up IOl C1-
erendum in the April elections.
While in general the struggle
through the method of the
state referendums is to call
upon and instruct the United States
Congress to adopt the Workers In
surance Bill, the Detroit elections in
April, for which signatures will
have to be gathered by December 1,
will permit a broad campaign for
the Workers Social Insurance Bill
as against the fake unemployment
bill being suddenly foisted on the
workers by the local petty bour-
geosie.
These slimey tricksters, as usual
under the name of liberalism" per-
forming as protectors of the big
capitalists, have formed so-called
unemployment insurance league"
supported by a number of small
businessmen who want to counter
act the Communist struggle for real
and adequate insurance not only for
the unemployed but all disabled and
aged workers.
This group of enemies of the
working class, pretending to be
heart broken at the unemployment,
have bill" that provides for only
IL weeks relief for the jobless,
and limits the payments to mis-
cradle DO per cent only, of the aver
age wages.
Obviously, no worker can live on
40 per cent of his average" wages,
let alone feed, clothe and house his
family; and indeed these petty
bourgeois tools of big capital don't
expect workers to live on such
ridiculous sum any longer than
three months, although millions of
workers have already been jobless
for nearly a year. Clearly, these
scoundrels figure that by putting
over such a strike, the workers will
be QUOTED down" and will not
fight for the real Social Insurance
/ Bill proposed by the Communist
Party.
The Detroit Communists however,
noting this reformist attempt to
sidetrack the workers with lying
propaganda carried on by these
petty bourgeois takers who are very
busy agitating among both white
and Negro workers, are starting
preparations for the September 1st
demonstration and serious cam
paign for the Workers Social In
surance Bill, which provides for a
minimum of S25 week for unem-
ployed, disabled or aged workers
without distinction, and S. weekly
additional for each dependent.
The campaign of the Communists
for this bill is getting splendid re.
