The u. S. imperialist fleet is in!
Last night the war ships were an
chored in the Hudson River and to-
day part of the 10000 sailors will
get shore leave. The naval fleet
has just returned from imperialist
war maneuvers in and around the
Caribbean Sea. The idea in the
maneuvers was to practice holding
on to the present Latin-American
markets of Wall Street and to grab
new markets.
That every effort will be made
to keep the sailors, who suffer poor
wages, long hours, political dis
elimination similar to their broth
ers, the workers of the factories,
from getting wise to their true
position is indicated by the many
jingoistic affairs being arranged for
them. The capitalist city govern
ment announces that it will pull off
a ball for $500 men and the Ma
tional Navy Club has arranged a
dance.
The New York district committee
of the Communist Party and Young
Communist League called upon the
sailors to understand their present
position. "You are suffering poor
conditions, political and social dis
elimination in the service of the
U. S. billionaires' government. You
are being trained for another i'm

the request of the prosecution until

While the attorneys of the Inter-

with their appeal against the con-
viction of the New York delegation
of the 10000 unemployed and
striking workers demonstrating in
Union Square here March 6, the
unemployed themselves are making

The New York Committee, Will

old Raymond and Joseph Lesten,
were convicted in juryless trial
before three judges on April II.
Appeal was taken Immediately and
on good grounds, for the trial was
teeming with violations of the
United States and state constitu-
tions and Of all the rules OF evil
dence.
Lesten has served 80 days in the
workhouse and the other four are
already serving on BlackwelFs

Every move to have them bailed
out has been denied.
Pushing Appeal.
The International Labor Defense
attorney, Brodsky, states that the
appeal is being pressed in the APP

with the argument that it should
be pushed rapidly through because
the jobless leaders have been tyran-

700 Ohio Miners Kick

Mass Meeting Called by Fakers Goes Over to
National Miners Union; Hit Co. CheckOff

LANSING, Ohio, May 4 (By
Mai) The National Miners Union
took over the miners mass meeting
held here today which had been
called by the Observation-Disclosures
Germer faction of the United Mine
Workers.
Between six and seven hundred
miners and their wives and daugh-
ters refused to listen to Adolph
Germer, Allen Haywood, Oscar
Ameringer and Frank Bender, their
Ohio organizer, unless they were
allowed to elect a rank and file
chairman of the meeting. Howat
did not show up.
When the demand for the election
of chairman was rejected num-
ber' of miners spoke from the ranks
of the crowd. In a few minutes the
social fascists, seeing the hopeless
ness of the situation, packed up and
left. Not a single miner followed
them.
Frank Sepich of the N. NJ. U.
was then elected chairman. Some
fifteen or twenty Lewis gangsters
were dispersed and the meeting con-
tinued under the auspices of the
N. NJ. U. Bob Sivert, organizer of
the Ohio district, and Charles Guynn,
national secretary, spoke.
The entire proceeding was carried
out in an orderly manner, but with
a firmness that left no doubt as to
the determination of the miners to
defeat both the Springfield and In
dianapolis gangs of company agents.
Previous to the arrival Of Ger
mer, Ameringer and Haywood a
leaflet exposing them and giving
the action program of the N. NJ. U.
was distributed.
The meeting showed that neither
the Springfield nor the Indianapolis
company agents have any rank and
file following in this section Of the

les. 1t says: "Are there some
typical Russian forgeries floating
about? Mr.. Whalen swallows
+ them, hook, bait and sinker.'
Whalen's political hopes were flung
by this invitation.
Meanwhile, the House Committee
itself is split over Whalen's charges.
Several members of the committee
are afraid to burn their fingers and
jeapordize s15O,0OO,OOO trade with
the Soviet Union. They therefore
admit that Whalen's documents are
outright forgeries, having been in
formed that these documents were
offered for sale to several New York
newspapers by an ex-czarist officer.
According to capitalist press
dispatch from Moscow, Professor
Herony, an American economist at
Kiev, stated that the Whalen docu-
ments were as false as the 1924
British Zinoviev letter, having been
prepared by people interested in dis
rupting economic relations with the
Soviet Union
The daily worker., 1930-05-07

The noise being made in connec-
ton with this corruption is neces-
sary for the capitalist government
in order to uphold the illusion of a
democracy and to hide the increasing
steps towards fascism.
The vicious anti-labor character
of the capitalize government in gen
era and the U. S. Supreme Court
IN particular was indicated by SEN
ator Stephens (pro-Parker) yester-
day when he declared that not only
Parker but the present judges on

Whalen would resign his office of

chief cossack. The letter, it was
observed, carefully abstained from
hinting at any salary raise, which

URGE SHOE WORKERS TO
Be AT UNITY C0U NCIL
BY F. G. BIEDENKAPP.

The worldwide industrial crisis
resulting from so-called "over-pro-
duction" (Which, if correctly termed,
is under consumption") is a ma
tural disease of capitalism, for
which there is only one cure, namely,
the abolishing of capitalism, and
only a surgical operation will do it.
The only hand steady and strong
enough to perform that job is the
hand of the militant revolutionary
working class. While it is true
that the American workers have not
yet had as much training along that
line as did the European workers,
nevertheless March and May /,
1880, have demonstrated that we,
the American workers, are rapidly
learning our lesson.
The training schools of the mill
tant organized workers are the Rev.
olutionary Industrial Union of the
various industries, under the lead
ership of the Trade Union Unity
League and the Red International
Of Labor Unions. Under such guild
ance the workers will learn how
to put an end to low wages, speed
up, contract and piece-work, yellow
dog contracts and exploitation in
general. They will learn the mean
ing of "class struggle" working
class solidarity and dictatorship of
the revolutionary proletariat in
place of capitalist murder.
Council Meets Thursday.
Under revolutionary leadership
the workers will learn how to 90
away with unemployment, starva-
ton and persecution. All the forces
of oppression, as manifested in the
recent lockout of $500 shoe work
ers by the organized bosses, at the
request of the United States de-
partment of labor, are used against
the workers. On May s the T. U.
U. L., New York district, will hold
a very important organization meet
ing of its New York council to lay
the basis for greater revolution
ary industrial movement and more
active and constructive work among
the masses of workers, both white
and Negroes, men and women,
youth and adults, in this important
center.
Shoe workers should elect dele
gates from every shop in New York
and Brooklyn and send them to the
