Notice of Central Control Commission Deci-
sion on the Expulsion of Roy Stephens,
Former District Organizer of Dist. l
Boston.


The Central Control Commission has ap-
proved the decision of the District Bureau
and District Control Commission of District l
to expel from the Communist Party of the
U. S. A. Roy Stephens renegade and
traitor, who secretly aligned himself with the
enemies of the Comintern and of the Party,
the Lovestone group,-who misused Party
funds and failed to account for them,-who
conspired with Lovestone and his agents to rob
the Party district office of its records-and
who tried to use his position as the district
organizer of District l to disrupt the Party
organization and to sabotage its preparations
for the May First demonstrations.
Still signing himself the district organ
izer, Stephens called secret meeting four
days before May First and tried to turn those
present against the Party and against the
Comnterr. But only nine had answered his
call, and seven of them walked out when they
saw The treachery of Stephens.
The political line a ced ~ Stephens as
reported by the comrades who heard him at
the secret meeting, and as admitted by Steph-
ems himself before the District Bureau, was
t. cal Lovestone right wing line In the face
of growing facts and developments whc prove
the correctness of lie Comintern and Party
line and analysis of the present period, Steph-
ems stated that the workers here were not
ready for counter-offensive, that the Amer
lean Federation of Labor was not a fascist
organization, that the American government
was democratic government, not fascist
government, that American capitalism was not
threatened by the present economic crisis, but
would recover from it in six or seven months,
that the Five-Year Plan in the Soviet Union
was a failure, etc.
At the end of his statement Stephens called
upon the members present to fight against
the Party in their units and to take the poiti-
cal line for this fight from the Lovestone rene
gades.
1t was also established that Stephens had
taken records from the Party office to a hotel
room, where he left them in the hands of
Lovestone's agent, Bert Miller, from whose
possession the records were recovered by
prompt and energetic action of the Party, after
Stephens had repeatedly tried to deceive the
comrades as to their whereabouts.
In the light Of these facts, the actions of
Stephens stand forth those Of stool-pigeon
of the renegades, and in expeling Stephens
from it's ranks, the Party warns all workers
organizations against this renegade and trail

Build the Southern Weekly!

The money for the establishment of the
southern weekly is very slowly coming in to
the Language Department Of the Central Com

It'd came a step forward, but still very far
from their assigned quota The Rovnost Ludu
the Radnik, Nor Ashkar, still did not respond
to the drive.
Up to-date only 321a per cent of the quota
is fulfilled.
This negligence results from the underesti-
nation of the great Importance of the first
southern Communist paper and from the I'M
derestimation of the willingness of the workers
to donate for the building of such a revou-
tionary organ in the South. The serious mi
take of most of our language papers must be
corrected, by starting to Immediately publish
articles on the tremendous Importance of this
drive, by publishing blanks to be filled out by
the readers to be sent in with the donation,
to circularize the mass organizations, with a
call for solidarity with the southern workers.
The revolutionary immigrants, readers OF our
language press will help the southern workers
in building up fighting class organ, provided
our language papers will let them know in
series of articles the aims of this drive.
The responsibility for not getting the full
quota before the First of May rests on the
leading comrades of the language press who
look upon this drive as zone more financial
campaign" The Party has no "pure and sim
pie" financial campaigns. All are necessary
parts of cur leading mass struggles, building
and maintaining the organs of these struggles
and especially the campaign for the establish
ment of Communist weekly in the South has
the utmost political Importance
Not to respond to the drive means that those
comrades do not as yet realize this.
In the coming days, when the Party will
lead greater masses than ever before into the
fight for the daily needs of the working class
the drive for the southern weekly must be
widened, the quotas must be fulfilled by every

 Employees of the zoo, not at all un- mindful of the valor of their own Mel win hoontz. and in spite of the loss of a very valuable tiger. had only this to say of Alfred Hill:

The knife fell from the small hand, and with groans and screams of pain, Alfred fell prostrate on the floor. Feline instinct spared the boy temporarily, as the tiger stepped back to view his now uncon- sclous and bleeding victim.
 The sound of the screams and groans had reached the ears of young Melvin hoontz, 20-year-old animal trainer of the park. He picked up q light club and rushed into the cage. and stood &stride the form of the unfortunate youth. The tiger rushed forward, but ls-reated under rapid blows of the hickory in the hands of hoontz. Again and again the beast lunged forward, blood dripping from its powerful jaws, and again and again retreatcd, stunned little, perhaps by the inceSsant blows which the young trainer administered to its skull.
 By this time other employees of the park had rushed to the scene of the scufflc, and one of them brought with him a rifle, and passed 1t through the bars. As the tiger retreated momen- tarly. hoontz reached for it. Then. with one wel-piaced shot-between the nycs-the youthful trainer sounded the doom of the beast The massive form lunged forward unsteadily. and then dropped, quiverns, almost on top of little Alfred's body

 The boys had not noticed that they were on slight slope beneath which were cages of many of the fiercest beasts. So when Alfred

HOUSE APPROVES
JURYLESS TRIALS
Bill Amended to Include Petty
0ffenSeS Against All Fed
eraI Statutes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The key piece Of legislation In the
Hoover Law Enforcement Commissions
program for increasing the effectiveness
of the prohibition statutes today bore
the approval of the House and awaited
the action of the Senate.
This was the much-disputed measure
to permit United States commissioners
to handle minor violations Of the dry
laws without jury. It was passed by
the House late yesterday after a heated
debate. Three other measures con-
nected with it were approved by the
House on Tuesday.
Fourth Bill Attacked.
This group, by amending the Jones
law and the United States Code, would
define and f1x maximum penalties for
miSdemeanors and authorize an ac-
cused person to waive his constitutional
right Of trial by jury. These, too,
aroused q bitter controversy.
The fourth bill was attacked by the
wet bloc and by some dry members as
unconstitutional and involving an unde-
sirable change in judicial procedure.
They attempted TO send 1t back to con-
ference, but failed by vote Of 225 to
157. It was approved, 218 to lit, with
many dry Democrats joining admins
tration Republicans in voting for its
passage.
Aimed ut Court Relief.
The bill was amended from the floor
to authorize commissioners to handle
petty offenses against all the Federal
statutes, not only the prohibition laws:
to permit q defendant to appeal for q
jury trial or by a judge, and to TX
limit upon the amount In fees that q
commissioner could collect for pleas of
not guilty.
In general, the program was intended
to attack the prohibition problem by
relieving congestion in the Federal
courts. The original proposals Of the
Law Enforcement Commission were
subjected to numerous major changes
in extended committee sessions, but the
commission passed upon and approved
the program before it was reported to
the House.
