in Lima in the British cotton mill OF
Duncan, Fox & Co. The workers de-
manded higher wages.
The miners have refused to take
the miserably low wages that were be-
ing forced on them by the American
and British imperialists with the aid
of the Cerro government troops. Most
of the Peruvian miners are Indians
and are bitterly exploited by the for
eign capitalists. They have shown
determination in their struggles.
The United Press dispatch says
that "the government announced
that all workers participating in the
threatened general strike would be
charged with sedition"
The Cerro government came into
power through a revolt against the
Leguia clique which was tool of
American imperialism. Cerro and his
gang of fascists used all the usual
phrases about reforms when he came
into power.
One of Cerro's first acts was to
declare any criticism of his regime as
a penal offense. The bourgeois group
which Cerro represents continued the
oppressive measures against the Per-
uvian workers and peasants that the
Leguia government had carried far
The present strike is the most mil
liant and serious in the history OF
Peru. 1t shows the workers and peas
ants are not giving up the struggles
as Cerro requested them to do when
he came to power. They are putting
forward their own demands and
fighting for them. Cerro will now
attempt a reign Of terror against the
workers organizations so that the for
eign capitalists will feel secure ir
their exploitation of the Peruvian
masses.
The copper mines In which the
leading clashes are taking place are
10000 feet up in the Andean noun
tains. 1t is difficult for the Cerrc
government to send troops to the
T. ines quickly. Furthermore, II the
announced general strike takes place
and the railroad workers join it, the
workers will be in a good position tc
give q severe blow to the fascist Ger
70 regime.

LIBERAL LAWYER
SLABS DEFENSE
Neal, of Gastonia Case
Before Fish Committee

CHATTANOOGA, Tell, Nov. 10. -
John Randolph Neal, liberal lawyer,
attorney for the A. F. L., who was
hired by the International Labor De-
Tense to help defend the Gastonia
cases last year today went the way
of most liberals. He came voluntarily
before the Fish committee with
story carefully modelled on their "the-
DRY" that Communism lis a racket"
and said whatever was suggested to
him to stab in the back the I. L. D.,
the Gastonia boys, and to cripple all
future cases by propaganda designed
to prevent collection of defense funds.
Neal former dean of law school
in Nashville, showed his Southern
ruling class outlook by this action,
just on the eve of the death trial of
six workers organizers in Atlanta.
Tries to Hurt Defense.
Neal, prompted by his knowledge of
the Fish Committees line of argu-
ment, stated that the funds for the
defense of the Gastonia case were all
supplied by the Garland Fund, which
he now advocates shall be curbed by
law. He repeats the Fish committee
and police department lie that the
money was given to the I. L. D. for
defense. He wants laws to prevent
such collections, and to prevent bail
collected by the I. L. D. is used for
the Communist Party purposes. Neal
states that he agrees with all the
purposes of the Fish committee. He
specifically states that he is in favor
of deporting the foreign-born. and o.
preventing any Russians from coming
into U. S. He proposes that the Com.
munist Party be "conditionally out,
lawed."
Neal severed connections with thu
Gastonia defense soon after it wal
found that while pretending to repre-.
sent the boys on trial at Chariot,
because the Gastonia strikers defend
ed their lives against an organized
lynching party of the Manvill'
Jenckes Mill led by the chief of pol
ice, was all the time turning over in
formation to the Music United Tex
tile Workers Union in Marion. TIL
U. T. w. was and is the deadly enem,
of the strikers and the defendants.
ALL. Head Is Spy.
At the same hearing Of the FISH
Committee, Amyon, president OF tn
Tennessee A. F. L. admitted his spy
ing for the police, and boosted tina
he could arrest all the leading Com
munists In the South Immediately.
The workers, thousands of whom
have been defended by the I. L. d
know how the defense money is raiset
and how it is spent. They know tina
the Communist Party. its newspaper
anI its members are the most indie
fatigable supporters Of the I. l.. q
in all its campaigns, and that tn,
fight will go on to give every clas
war prisoner as much defense as i
is humanity possible.

Pilsudski Forbids
Running of Numerous
Workers Candidates

WARSAW.-In upper Silesia the
Silesia the authorities have arbitr-
arily struc off the name of the former
Communist Seym deputy, Komander
from the election list.
In Luck and Kovel in Western
Ukrainia the election agents who
filed the lists of the anti-faScist
peasants league, were arrested and
the list rejected.
In Cracow the lists of the workers
and peasants block and of the left
wing Polish Socialist Party have been
rejected by the authorities.
In Kalitch the authorities have re-
fused to accept the election list OF
the left-wing peasant organization
"Samopomoc."
In the constituency Krasnystav-
Hrubieszov-Yan the election auth
critics have declared the list of the
workers and peasants block to be null
and void.
In Grodno the list OF the workers
and peasants block has also been de-
clared invalid and the chief candi-
date Comrade Svitsuna arrested.
The workers and peasant election
list in the Observation-Disclosures con-
stituency has been thrown out.
When the results of these "elec-
tons" becomes known the socia
democratic press will undoubtedly
rub its hands at "the decline Of
Communist influence, as it did after
the Finnish elections which wert
conducted on similar lines.

reasons have not yet poined the
same. Itryto do my best for the
working class in every way. I attend
the meetings quite often and am
very enthusiastic.
wish to bring to your attention
the question of discipline in regards
to the meetings.
I've been attending the meetings
for three Years and am certainly
looking for improvements. I wish
every worker would realize how far
suchc little things" can go.
Meetings Disputed.
I was in the army, that was when
went to fight for democracy" and
+ know something about little
things"
The thing that dislike most when
I attend a meeting is when people
leave their seats while the meeting is
going on. They're walking up and
down the aisle, some are Just "fol-
lowing the crowd"
1t looks as though they have no
confidence in the speaker or as
though they are not interested. 1t
looks stupid; it is bad manners, bad
Communist manners, which is bad
Communist discipline.
No real results, no real organiza-
tions may come out of hush meet
ings. 1t tends more to disorganiz-
alton or to Generalization.
Now these little things Should be
told to the audience in advance.

, MURDERED BY
GERMAN POLICE
Series of Wage Cuts
Proposed by Bosses
(CubLe by TmprecoYr)


BERLIN, Nov. II. - Two workers,
wounded when police shot into a
Communist demonstration at Dussel-
dorf, have since died of lung and
head wounds.
A worker who thrashed zoergiebel,
former chief of police, was sentenced
to five months imprisonment, altho
the usual punishment for such as
saults is a fine. The prosecutor de-
manded years of imprisonment.
The Junge Garde, organ of the
Young Communist League, was sup
pressed by the police today.
The Berlin master bankers are de-
manding a wage cut as compensa-
ton for the minimal reduction in the
price of bread. They demand a ten
mark weekly wage cut, and a pro-
portional slash in wages for lesser
paid workers.
Disturbances took place today at the
Berlin University when fascist stud
ents beat up political opponents with
brass knuckless, etc. A girl student
was knocked down and kicked. Wher
the police arrived they showed great
consideration for the fascist attack
ers, nd made few arrests.
The Saxon metal workers refuse tt
accept the arbitration decision pro.
viding for wage cut. Employer;
demand the wage cut decision bt
made binding. A strike is likely.
Five thousand Westfalian textile
workers are striking against wage
cuts. Cologne metal bosses are look.
ing for scabs for SO factories to en-.
force wage cuts. The locksmiths
strike in Berlin is still proceeding.

SHIP OFFICERS in

In Preparation of I'm

NEW YORK; note in the Daily
Worker of Nov. 18th, an article,
stating, that the officials of the
I. 8. U. would conscript the seamen
for the next imperialist war. We

hearing this, for this has already
been done a hing time ago by the
Standard Oil Co. and others making
their ships officers Naval Reserve

slaughter, by teaching them the arts
of war.
This only proves to show the will
ingness of the corrupt leaders Of the
I. S. U. to cooperate with the Wall
Street bankers in laying their plans
for the next Imperialist war. So far
- good, but something has gone
wrong, by heck, in other words, the
seamen are waking up and are no
longer falling for the rotten bunk,
that the union officials are trying to
hand out to them. 1t is an estab-
lished, and long known fact, that

to play the part Of Judas to the

The plate glass front of the Eel
