Elizabeth Jobless Meet
Despite Cops

ELIZABETH, N. j., March 10
Although the police refused to per-
nit a meeting of unemployed work
ers, stating that if one held the
workers would find themselves in
the Jail or in the morgue, the work
ers of Elizabeth were not freighten-
ed and held meeting yesterday.
Two hours before the meeting was
scheduled, 200 police, motorcycle
cops and plain clothes dicks, en-
circled the square. In spite of this,
a thousand workers assembled, ,anXi-
ously awaiting the speakers.
When the meeting began, it was
brutally attacked by the police. The
speakers were dragged off to Jail.
Thus Albert Cornilli and Joseph
Morris were arrested, though the
workers presented vigorous protest
and many declared that this ended
their illusion about capitalist "dem-
ocracy."

HAITI FREEDOM
MOVE DEFEATED
Hoover Commission
Puts Over Trick

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March
16.:Before the whitewashing COM
mission named by Hoover visited
Haiti, the masses of the people were
on the point of revolt. What was
their chief complaint? 1t was that
the so-called Council of State" who
are the creatures of president"
Borne, as Borno is the creature Of
American imperialism, was going to
"elect" the next president.
The bourgeois led Opposition"
was very much opposed to such an
election. But what has the Commits
sion of Hoover done? The Commits
sion has persuaded the Opposition"
that it will be all right for the Coun-
Gil of State to elect the next pres
ident on April 14-with the "oppos-
ton" selecting the candidate, a
broker named Roy. He will be die
tator. The workers and peasants
will still starve. The solution"
solves nothing.
The trick was neat. When the
proposal was made, Borno was
tipped off to "object." That made
the Opposition" frantically in favor
of it. So the Commission could play
at being strong" and insistent, and
Borno's objection" was overcome. :"
And the marines will be withdrawn
"gradually''-which means never.
Moral: A bourgeois Opposition" to
imperialism always is unreliable.

The Food Clerks Industrial
Union is leading a strike, which
started Saturday, against the "Cut
Rate Grocery Co.," 253 East 16Sth
st. Good picket lines have been
formed, and as usual, the police are
on hand trying to drive the work
ers back to scab conditions. Four
pickets were arrested, charged with
disorderly conduct, and with bail set
at $500 each.
Picketing is still going on as mill
family as ever at Millers Market
where the police shot Katovis. All
the housewives in the neighborhood
support the strike, and if it were
not for the United Hebrew Trades
and business men financially aiding
the boss, he would have been broke

they will stand the strain, and the
union is determined to fight it out
if it takes hundred years.
