DEMAND THEIR DEPOSITS
$4,000 Depositors; Is
Second Big Crash
In 2 Weeks .

NEW YORK.-Another big New
York bank crashed Tuesday morning.
The Chelsea Bank and Trust Co,
with seven branches, $20,000,000 in
deposits and over $4,000 depositors,
was closed by the State Banking De-
partment when depositors began be-
sieging the bank in order to with
draw their money. The bank Off
Gals up to within an hour of the
closing of the bank attempted to
assure" the depositors that every
thing was all right" Nevertheless,
10000 lined up in front of the main
branch of the bank at 48th st. and
Seventh Ave and they could not get
their money.
At the Harlem branch, at 2298
Seventh Ave, the depositors rushed
the door of the bank and smashed
the glass in the windows. The police
rushed the crowd and some of them
drew their revolvers against the in
olgnant depoSitorS. At all other
branches long lines and groups of
sullen depositors stood at the closed
doors. Some of the cops drew their
blackjackS against the workers who
found they could not get at their
hard-eaned money.
AS in the case of the Bank of the
United States, Broderick, Tammany
superintendent Of hanks,ssSsajd. he ex-
af1fsied the statement Of the bank
and it was 0. K. He also said he
had examined the statement of the

Nevertheless, the 100000 depositors
are today without one cent of their

Seeing this, the l. L. A. delegate got
into his car and drove through the
masses of workers, driving them
back. The men resisted, throwing
mud, shouting and fighting. Then
the dock bosses ordered trucks to
ride down the workers. Then the
workers started to rush the gate,
tearing aside the I. L. A. delegates
who had been sucking dues out of
them for many years. Finally, the
cowardly delegates sneaked out of
view.
These workers are ready to fight
it out and have turned away in dis
gust from the rotten l. L. A.
Today, at noon, the Marine Work

battle that lasted several hours at

CITY TRIES STOP
PIONEER CIRCUS
Fear Exposure of Reli-
gious Bunk

NEW YORK.-After forcing the
Irving Plaza to cancel their contract
with the Young Pioneers for an anti
Christmas circus, and after the Pion-
GERS had secured the Central Opera
House for the affair, the city author
tiles informed Central Opera House
that they either cancel their contract
with the Pioneers or risk their
license.
The city authorities seem to realize
quite well how closely their entire
system is connected with the religious
propaganda in the public schools. the
press, etc. They well understand the
influence of the Young Pioneers
among the workers children. 1t Is
for this reason that they do every
thing in their power to stop the ac-
tivities of the Young Pioneers, espe-
cially their aflti-religious activity. At
the same time. they seek to keep up
and spread the illusion among the
workers children about religious
freedom" and democracy" in this
country. Therefore such underhand
tactics are employed.
Despite all these threats and
maneuvers, the Pioneers are going on
with their preparations for the cir

Post Office Revokes
Second Class Mailing
Rights

NEW YORK.-Anothe step in the
attack against the working class
started by the Fish committee was
made today with the curt announce
ment of the postal authorities that
the young Worker" official organ
of the Young Communist League OF
America, could not receive second
class mailing rights.
The application for second-class
rights had been made by the
Young Worker" in April, but it was
not until today that the business CT
flee of the Young Worker" received
letter dated Dec. 20 stating that
their rights had been revoked"
Meantime the paper had been pub
lished in Worcester, Mass, and sent
through the mails pending the Of
fical receipt of second-class rights.
At no time during the period be-
tween April and December, eight
months, did the post office question
the right of the young Worker" to
use second-class rights.
Part of General Attack.
1t is evident, even accorG.ng to the
unofficial admissions of the Worces-
ter, Mass, postmaster, that this at
tack on the Young Worker" is di-
rectly due to the agitation of the
Fish committee against the Commu-
mist Party and the whole working
class. This is the third revolutionary
organ to be barred, on one pretext
or another, from mailing rights due
them. Vida Obrera," Spanish or
gan of the Communist Party. and the

attacked by Hoover's postal agents.

Immediately upon hearing of this

plans for nationwide fight against
