ROCKVILLE COURT
REFUSES PETITION
viii Not Disqualify Voter
Unless Objection Arises
at Registration.

ROCKVILLE, Md, october 22.-In
dismissing petition to have the name
of Elias Russell, colored, stricken from
the registration books for Laytonsville
district, Judge Robert B. Peter decided
an interesting point in the Circuit
Court here yesterday.
It involved the right of the court to
entertain appeals from the action of
officers of registration in registering
voters at their final session. The de-
ciSion in substance was that the Cir
cult Court is not a court of original
jurisdiction in registration cases and
acts simply as an appellate court. It
Is without authority to consider appeals

Chattanooga bosses are fright

mittee, headed by fascist Fish, has
questioned the right of officials of
the Amtorg to reside in this coun-
try. To deport the executives of
the Amtorg would doubtless result
in the closing of the Amtorg. The
bosses of Chattanooga, knowing the
fascist hatred of the u. s. govern
'ment for the Soviet Union, correctly
feel that steps might be taken to
drive out the Soviet trading agency.
Therefore, these bosses are fright

Sheriff SAYS
He Will Jail
All T0bZess

NEW MADRID, Mo-, Aug. IL
Hundreds of unemployed workers
several days ago raided the con-
struction camp of H. H. Cummins,
who is cutting the right-of-way for
the spillway levee near here, and
took all the food and canned stuff
they could lay their hands on.
Advertisements had appeared in
papers roundabout stating that
work was going on and men would
be wanted. Hundreds applied but
were not hired. The starving unem-
ployed rushed for the food tents and
took the available supplies.
In retaliation, the local sheriff
has declared that all unemployed he
found would be arrested for vag-
rancy. He has warned them to
leave town. The men did not come
of their own accord, in the first
place, but were enticed by lying
advertisements and then left to
starve. The bosses answer to the
unemployed is Jail on the charge
of vagrancy. This is the "free
labor" in the United States that
Matthew VOL brags SO much about.
Here is a sheriff who threatens to
jail all unemployed workers for no
other reason than that they are I'M
employed.

Persons, "when l found that eff

There is nothing new about this
fakery, as the Daily Worker has
repeatedly pointed out the deliber-
ate lying, twisting and juggling of
unemployment figures by the CEN
sus bureau, as we'll as by Hoover,
Green, Davis and Lamont.
But this is the first time that
one of the big boys on the inside
comes out and admits that the fig
ures were deliberately manufac-
tured to belittle the seriousness of
unemploy. It, and to fool the
workers.
Prof. Persons himself does a
little underestimation. He avs in
stead of the government figure of
100000 jobless there are at least
100000. There are many which
Prof. Persons does not count, and
which bring the figure to well over
100000, as originally proved by
the Daily Worker.
The government lying has direct
object. The bosses do not want the
workers to organize to fight for
unemployment relief. They want
to minimize the tremendous extent
of unemployment so that the work
ers will not come out in masses
and fight, under the leadership of
the Trade Union Unity League and
Communist Party, for the adoption
by Congress of the Workers Social
Insurance Bill. The bosses do not
want to let the unemployed AMI

a minimum weekly unemployment
insurance of $25 week to all I'M
employed orkers, as provided in
the Workers Social Insurance Bill.
However. no amount of lying and

COAL SLAVERY
CONTRACT SIGNED

For Great Struggle

SCRANTON, Pa. Aug. II (By
MaiD Official of 104 anthracite
coal companies, and AZ officials of
the United Mine Workers of
America, signed the five and a
half year contract here today after
riotous feast of Mammon at the
Chamber of Commerce dining
room. The actual ceremony by
which the 10000 anthracite miners
are bound to a no-strike program,
involuntary dues paying, and wage
cut system with speed-up and loss
of pay for work done was carried
out at the Masonic temple, with the
mayor present and John L. Lewis,
wallowing in the adulations of
bosses and business men.

the streets decorated with flags,
