Jesuit lacked any document" and
who noted how alarmed the South

story of the Communist Party's

ical equality for Negroes, took the
stand.
This fascist Hoover, like the other
Hoover at the end of Pennsylvania
Ave. whose speciality is prosper
ity," made speciality of Commu-
nism among the Negroes. Though
the hearing was secret, Fish gave
out the publicity stuff to reporters,
stating that Hoover had testified
that-"The Communist Party has
organized special committee to
incite revolutionary activities among
the Negroes"
In addition, said Fish, Hoover had
actually demonstrated the direct
control Of the Third international,
with headquarters in Moscow, of the
Communist Party of America, and
reported the discussion at Moscow
by the working committees of the
Third International"

TRY TO STOP NY.
ELECTION Meets
Use Fascist Methods
Against Workers

A statement issued by the New
York State Campaign Committee
scores the growing fascist suppress
sions of election campaign meetings.
The statement declares in part:
"The opening of the election cam
paign in New York is greeted by
the police clubs and the terror Of
the fascist gangs. These acts at
the beginning of the election cam
paign are an indication as to what
they intend to do as far as allowing
the Communist candidates and pro-
gram being brought forward before
the workers of the State of New
York. 1t is unprecedented in the
City of New York that the election
campaign meetings are not per
mitted. The growing fascist char
acter Of the state makes it necessary
for them to attempt to stiffle the
voice of the Communist Party. This
is linked up with the present inves-
tigation being conducted by the Con-
gressional Committee under the lead
crship of Hamilton Fish. Five
workers, members of the Communist
Party were arrested at 163rd S.

MATTERS FIGHT
ON TWO FRONTS
Facing Wage Cut and
Official Betrayal

The hat manufacturers of New
York are trying to force a wage
cut upon the hatters. The bosses
are demanding a cut down to the
scale forced upon the workers by
the national officials of the United
Hatters, an ALL. company union.
In New York, due to the militancy
of the workers, the wages were rs
cents per dozen above the bosses
prices.
At a meeting held yesterday at
Beethoven Hall, the members of
Local s U. H. of North America,
the workers demanded that strike
be declared. The agents of the
bosses, who were in control of the
meeting, refused and told the work
ers that they will only have "va-
cation"
The local officials are working
hand in hand with the national Of
ficials to lead the workers to de-
feat, as they have done in the past.
They told the workers that the Ma
tional office will not pay them any
strike benefit, but will give "moral
support"
To Announce In Daily.
From the conduct of the members
at the meeting, the demand for a
strike and the demand that the
next meeting be advertised in the
Daily Worker, proved that the hat
tiers have no illusions about what
they can get from the officials;

The officials railroaded their mo-
ton for vacation" this time. But
the workers will not give up their
fight. They must organize to
fight the combination of the bosses
and the officials who force lower
prices. The workers must call upon
their fellow workers in Newark
and all the other nearby hat Gen.
ters, to refuse to work on orders
for New York and to jointly take
up the struggle for week work, for
minimum wage scale, and for the
40-hour 5-day week. These de-
mands were won by the other Sec
tons of the needle industry through
struggle, under the leadership OF
