The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-06-14

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10
The special investigation Of Com
munist activities, including the
Daily Worker, will be moved to New
York City on July 8, probably to be
held at the Federal building, the
fascist congressman, j. Hamilton
Fish, chairman of the congressional
committee, disclosed today.
The hearings in New York will
give the star performers in the
needle trades socialist" company
union leadership of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers,
etc, a chance to stage their fascist
demands for suppression Of the rev.
dictionary trade union.
U. S. Arms Chinese Reds.
Fish, weaving imaginative tales
when witnesses fail, is hot on the
trail of notion he has that, so
he says, three per cent of all Soviet
trade turnover goes to propaganda,
declaring that the whole Red Army
in China is equipped with this fund.
Fish wholly missed the point, since
the Red Army of China is equipped
by none other than the American
government and Wall Street bank
ers, who have been supplying arms
to Chang Kai-shek, which the Red
Army simply takes away from Gen
eral Chang.
Fish also demands" to know
where the money comes from to
support fourteen Communist papers
in the United States. Again Mr..
Fish shows his stupidity, as well as
that of the detectives he has hired,
since the Communist Party of the
United States of America has a lot
more than fourteen papers, sup
ported by the working class, not
like the capitalist papers, which last
year were proven to be controlled
by the international Power Trust,
whi.h, through a subsidiary paper
trust, had its grip firmly on the
editorial policy of a great group OF
newspapers throughout the country.
Fish scolde4 employers who deal
with revolutionary trade unions as
being one major cause for the rapid
spread of Communist influence.
He was helped out on this by an
other fascist from the A. F. of L.,
Ed McGrady, who acted officially
for the A. F. of L. in making a
company union out Of the |. L. G. W.
and the Furriers' Union and organ
izing an alliance between the en-
ployers and the government in the
needle trades. McGrady related
that one Fitzgerald, mill owner
at Danville, We, discharged 200
"Americans" while retaining Com
munists" and sent a Communist
workman to confer with New York
Communists.
A. F. OF l.. Fears Workers.
McGrady demands that the gov
eminent help the A. F. Of l., and
complained that other employers by
dealing with Communists block what
he calls real American unions"
McGraay drew the usual bloody
picture of the Communists. They
were guilty Of assault, forgery
Though he did not mention that
they had forged the infamous VIVA
len documentsD, squandering funds,
assaults upon women and so forth.
Fish questioned; rs it legal? Can
we do anything to deal with them?"
to lead McGrady up to tale of how
Jews, hired by Communists as slug
gers during the furriers' strike, re-
fused to slug Jews, thus, so he said,
forcing the hiring of Greeks, spawn
of the gutter" to block organization
into real American union" by
which he meant the company union.
Fish questioned McGrady on bar
ring aliens from jobs, limiting thus
at the keynote of the secret session
which followed McGradys testimony
in open session.
The doors were closed on the COM
mittee, with eX-Commissioner of
Immigration Husband, now assistant
secretary of labor, remaining inside
to testify, probably on how best to
deport alien born workers. The house
of representatives today voted the
Fish anti-Communist committee
$4,000 for its work.
