co IN GROUPS TO
PROTEST MEETING
Tens of Thousands Are
Expected Tomorrow

Calling attention to the fact that
tens of thousands of workers and
unemployed workers will be at the
Bronx Coliseum, lit st. and Bronx
River tomorrow at 7 p. m., to carry
on the fight against unemployment,
for work or wages and for the i'm
mediate release Of the workers de-
legates elected at the Union Square
March 6 demonstration, the Agit-
prop department of District 2 of the
Communist Party says:
"Only the greatest mass mobiliza-
ton of workers against the attempt
to railroad our heroic comrades,
members of this delegation, to long
terms of Imprisonment, will succeed
in stopping Whalen and the Tam
many administration from its pur-
pose. All militant labor organiza-
tions, trade unions, fraternal organi-
cations, cooperatives, Women, Youth,
and Negro organizations, ETC., etc.
are urged to go to the meeting in
body, bringing with them placards
carrying their slogans and demands.
Organization Protest.
Already now information has been
received at the headquarters Of the
Communist Party, New York dis
trict, that many organizations have
adopted resolutions to protest
against the arrest and Imprisonment
of the delegation. The list of these
will be published in a few days. A
greater number of resolutions mus,
yet be adopted, copies of which
should flood the court where the
trial is taking place, the newspapers
etc. Duplicates should also be sent
to the Daily Worker for publication
In this way can the working class
in New York free the comrades who
are facing long terms of imprison.
ment, that can also defeat the at
tempt of Norman Thomas, the So.
cialist Party, and the liberals to turn
the attention of the New York work
ers from the struggle against unem-
ployment and the arrest Of the New
York delegation and towards the
cheap manoeuvering which Thomas
is conducting with the city officials
in order to get more publicity for
the next election campaign.

Opposition in Ranks of
Fascist War Vets to
Patriotic. May l Plan

Opposition to the fascist plan of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars to
attempt to terrorize the unemployed
workers on May 1 by holding coun-
ter May-day demonstrations is de-
veloping within the ranks of the
gunner outfit.
The New York County Council of
the organization adopted resolu-
ton opposing the patriotic rally
on May Day." The capitalist pa
pers do not carry the reasons for
the opposition, but undoubtedly
some employed workers who have
been n1isled into membership in the
Veterans of Foreign Wars are pro-
testing against beating up their
fellow unemployed workers.

jOBLESS, DISEASE
FOR PORTO RICANS
UNDER U. S. RULE
Imperialism Brin G S
Misery

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico.-Unem-
ployment, along with disease ~
actual starvation, are the benefits"
conferred upon Porto Rico by Yam
kee imperialism. Neither the much
touted new imperialist overload,
Roosevelt, nor Santiago Iglesias, the
Shiny trickster of Yankee imperial
ism's '"labor department" the So
called "Pan-American Federation of
Labor, who masquerades as a So
cialist" and betrays the Porto Rican
workers to Wall Street, can hide this
fact.
Not being able to hide it, both the
imperialist Roosevelt, and the inn
perialist lackey Iglesias, are having
to admit it, but in doing SO they act
as though the miseries of the Porto
Rican workers are, so to speak, in
evitable as acts of nature" of
something outside the realm of pre-
ventable things.
Yet the fact is that Porto Rico
has been bled to death by Yankee
imperialists, who have robbed the
toiling masses of wealth q dozen
times greater than the present total
valuation, ouiy to leave the workers
and peasants who produced all the
riches the robbers have taken to
Wall Street, in the most abject mo-
rass of misery, of pestilence ard
starvation.
Much effort is made to lay the
blame for the misery upon the tor
nado, and the tornad unquestion-
ably added to the already exist
ing poverty. But Yankee imperialist
rule has been more devastating than
a hundred tornados, and all the
soothe palaver of Governor Roose-
welt and the hypocritical laments of
Iglesias, nor any other impesia'lst
remedy will solve the crisis. This
must be solved by the revolutionary
action of the Porto Rican masses,
led by genuine revolutionary work
ers-the lawyers and capitalist roll
ticians, such as Iglesias and Bar
cello, must be thrown overheard.

ain a few weeks" The Board re-
ported this, by pre-arrangement
with Roosevelt, who had asked for
facts" The Board had no facts,
but it had lots of gall in reporting
such lies.
another little item of interest
yesterday was the petition, signed
by a hundred or so liberals" de-
handing that ; yor Walker re-
move the Comm.ssar Of Clubs and
blackjacks known as Grover Whal-
en-. The petition is the handiworls
of the leading social fascist, Nor
man Thomas, and it is so very ex-
tremely liberal that it grants that
Whalen had right to "bar" the
parade of workers on March 6, and
even, apparently, the right to dis
perse "the throng." But while
granting the police such rights" it
objects to the brutal manner" of
dispensing. If capitalism continues
to be so brutal that the workers no
longer can bear it, even with all It's
pretensions of democracy" so cas-
lily seen through when the clubbing
starts, these liberals" Of the petty
bourgeoisie, might be upset with the
rest in the consequent revolution.
So: Bar workers parades, and dis
perse their meetings; but do it
gently, not brutally."
Since Whalen has testified under
oath that there was mo clubbing"
and Walker has praised the police
as gentle and good-natured," it
seems there must be perfect
agreement all around among the
bourgeois liberals and the police
that, after all, the workers have no
right to the streets they built. Re-
Gently the Civil Liberties Union de-
clared that the Communists were
unlawful" for parading without a
permit. Next the right Of "free
speech" must have a permit to be
recognized as lawful by these
liberals.
All Of which proves that the
workers cannot count on any but
their own mass power to secure
them the rights for which the lib
eral bourgeoisie is supposed to
stand, but which they repudiate the
instant they think the workers mean
to overthrow the bourgeois system
of misery, starvation and war. The
fig leaf withers.

were Immediately on the job. On
Saturday at a meeting of the shop
committee the members decided to
strike if the three union members
are not taken back on their jobs.
Yesterday morning the boss agreed
to take two back but not the chair
lady of the shop, and the strike
was on, 100 per cent. All were
members of the union.
The boss brother then came to
union headquarters and offered tc
take all three back if Sarah Cher
nov would not be chairlady. Again
the workers refused.
At five o'clock the boss reported
that he accepted all Of them, and
agrees to Sarah Chernov as chair
lady. He also agrees to the demand
for an increase in wages, and pro-
misses to pay for overtime.
The National Textile Workers
Union, New York District, had a
representative on the job all the
time.
Previously these workers had COM
peeled the boss to stop discriminating
against Negro workers, giving them
lower wages or longer hours. The
police were present when the picket
ing started.
The union continues its drive to
organize all knit goods workers in
New York.

A special meeting Of the Executive
Committee of the Anti-Fascist Fed.
Grafton was held Saturday, March Is
at Labor Temple. Representatives
from fraternal and labor organize
tions were present.
Michael Karolyi, member Of the
international Anti-Fsscist Buro ad.
dressed the meeting on the struggle
against Fascism.
j. Louis Engdahl, general secre-
tary of the international Labor De-
tense, spoke on the development Of
fascism in the United States and the
brutal methods employed by the
capitalist class and its hireling, the
capitalist government, to crush the
growing resistance Of the working
class.
Abraham Markoff, secretary Of the
Federation, gave brief report Of the
activities of the Anti.F Fascist Fedora
ton during the last six or seven
months, and introduced plans for fur
fher work. The Anti Fascist Fedora
ton intends to issue a call in the
near future for . conference Of dele-
gates from Is many labor unions
and fraternal organizations Is pos
sible. The object Of this conference
will be:
1. To secure the affiliation Of IN.
Dor and fraternal organizations with
the Anti-Fascist Federation 50 as to
create a real mass proletarian basis
for the Fascist movement.
2. To establish = large en,eresn-

Now that the 100000 or more
jobless workers in the United States
have warned the bosses and their
government that the working class
will not starve to death quietly, all
the hole and corner remedies" are
being trotted out by those whose
petty bourgeois world seems slip
ping under their feet.
Yesterday, Haywood Broun, a lib
eral who found out once before in
some slight misunderstanding with
his boss on the New York World,
that capitalism uses the liberals as
a fig-leaf and not as a mustard
plaster, and who consequently land
ed on the Telegram" brought forth
a remedy" for unemployment-tho
stoutly denying that it was sug-
gestd as a solution for anything.
Broun suggests that everybody
follow his example, which is: "Give
avjob till June" He is, he says, 60
ing to give one person a job at $40
a week until June, and he urges
everybody to do likewise. But he
goes on and invites everybody out of
work to write to him stating what
they are fit for and what they'll do
''in pinch" Then he invites those
who will "give job till June" to
tell him about it. We suggest that
those out of work who haven't the
money to buy paper and stamps to
send letters, simply go down to the
Telegram ard ask Mr.. Haywood
Broun about that $50 a week job.
According to Broun, prosperity"
and other jobs, will be available in
June. But that's where he exhibits
a child-like faith in Hoover's lies.
AS to his motives: He says: "If you
are satisfied with your present eco
noniic status (speaking to the
bosses) and want the current ar
rangerdent TO continue, please have
the foresight to do a little to pre-
serve it." The fig-Ieaf is as plainly
seen here as that which it fails to
conceal. The middle class, Brouns
god, is getting anxious.
Also, yesterday saw new lie
sprung by the New York Board of
Trade. Agreeing with Broun, it
reported to Governor Roosevelt
that conditions have shown "a de-
cided Improvement" since February
and that there would be more jobs
