MOSCOW, Feb. 27.-The full

1. The crisis occurs amidst par

economic depression.
2. The crisis is assuming inter-

CITY HALL MASS
MEET, MAR. Isl
Working Women and
Children Demonstrate

On Saturday, March list, at 1886
D. M, demonstration of working
women and children will take place
in front of the City Hall, it was
announced by the New York Dis
trict of the Communist Party and
the Young Pioneers, to protest
against the police brutality in the
demonstration of unemployed work
ers who demonstrated before the
City Hall on Thursday.
Many women and children were
brutally beaten by Whalen's cos
sacks when they took part in the
unemployed demonstration demand
ing work or wages. There were
several women workers on the I'm
employed Council Committee that
went to see Mayor Walker, and they
were roughly handled and beaten by
the official armed thugs.
The demonstration of the women
and children will protest against the
police tactics of the capitalists, and
will put forward the demands of
the unemployed workers for imme-
date jobless insurance, and par
ticularly the drastic effects of I'M
employment on the women workers
and their children. They will also
protest against the preparations for
war by the imperialists against the
Soviet Union.
All women workers and their chill
dren are called upon to come in
mass to the City Hall on Saturday
to show their solidarity in the fight
for unemployment relief, and a
fight against capitalist police bru-
tally.

WIN CAFETERIA;
drive Goes ON
ElkWood Is on Strike,
Two Arrested

The Fundamental Cafeteria on
18th st. was forced to settle yes
terday with the Cafeteria Workers
Union after short strike. This
place tried to avoid granting union
conditions by signing up with the
fake joint food craft council of the
A. F. L., but the militant Cafe
terra Workers Union defeated this
maneuver.
The Elkwood Cafeteria was called
on strike yesterday after the bosses
had refused to grant the demands
of the union. The workers imme-
diately began to picket the shop and
two, Morris Modin and Angelo
Dianitos, were arrested and are held
under $500 bail for "disorderly con-
duct"
The drive to organize the hun
dreds of cafeterias in New York is
spreading. The workers are mill
tant on the picket lines in those
shops where strikes have been de-
clared. The A. F. of l.. through its
Food Craft Council, a well known
scabbing agency, is being used by
the bosses as tool to try and
break the ranks of the workers and
stop the organization of the unor-
ganized cafeteria workers. The
workers realize this and are refus-
ing to be misled.
Drive Is Winning.
Although the drive has just
started, the Cafeteria Workers
Union has succeeded in winning
strikes in many shops. The work
ers are enthusiastically responding
and are preparing to spread the
struggle. The Benrod. on Seventh
Ave-. the c. 4 G. on 23rd St., and
the Monroe on 35th ST., are still on
strike.

Both night and day shifts at the

the discharge of workers who read

besides reinstatement of the five

The distribution of leaflets took
place Monday. The boss spied on
the workers reading them, and dis
charged one of them on the night

fire him now, perhaps you will want
to fire me next" and walked out

Demand Vasquez Quit
Hoover Ready to Ship

Demand Vasquez Quit

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican
Republic, Feb. 27.-The revolution
airy peasant army which occupied
Santo Domingo yesterday morning
sprang into strenuous activity just
before 5 p. m. today, after repeated
efforts to get president Horacio
Vasquez to resign.
The masses who form the revolu-
tionary army are willing to fight
against American Imperialism, which
IS the main exploiter of the peasant
and working masses in Santo Do
mingo, as well as against Vasquez,
who receives the support of Curtiss,
Pulliam and Cabot, Wall Street rep
resentatives, but the leaders of the
insurgents, General Rafael Estrella
Urena and General Estrella have
been cooperating with the American
imperialists.
Latest reports declare that the
revolutionary army was preparing to
lombard Vasquez's palace if he did
not resign. Thus far the revolu-
tionists have been greeted by the
regular army headed by General
Rafael Trujillo. The leaders of the
uprising are maneuvering for polit-
ical leadership and are using the
discomfort of the masses to over
throw the Vasquez regime, without
pressing any of the demands of the
peasants who form the revolutionary
army.
Whether the ragged peasants in
the insurgent army will continue
merely to back the political ambi-
tions of the petty-bourgeois lawyers
and politicians who head the move
ment against the Vasquez govern
ment remains to be seen.
Hoover has already threatened to
send marines to Santo Domingo in
the event the revolution assumes a
real mass character and begins a
struggle for the demands of the
peasants.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican
Republic, Feb. 27.--Rafael Estrella
Urena, betrayer of the peasant
masses who are willing to fight
against American imperialism, and
against the large land holders, is
expected here today to negotiate
with the American Minister Curtiss
on how best to mislead the revolu-
tionary workers and peasants who
have marched on Santo Domingo,
1000 strong.
Though the Negro, Indian and
Spanish peasants have been deprived
of their land, are forced to work
for miserable wages, and have been
suffering acutely because of the
growing economic crisis, Urena and
his lieutenant, the lawyer, Estrella,
have agreed with the American I'M
perialists here that their only oppo-
sition to the Vasquez government
would be on purely legal and tech
nical grounds.
Urena, who is ambitious for the
presidency, wants Vasquez to re-

CENSUS PAYOFF
FRAUD PR0BED

The old army song-"All We
Do. is Sign the Payroll" might
have been very appropriately sung
by a trickster, who invaded the
Census Bureau yesterday while
5000 employees were signing the
payroll.
When w. r. Littleton. one OF
the employees, appeared before dis
bursting clerks to sign the roll, he
discovered that someone had al
ready signed his name and made
off with his envelope. Another
employe, whose identity was not
revealed, made a similar dis
covery.
Loss HaItS Payoff
The discoveries temporarily
halted the paying Of other clerks
and inStigated an investigation,
which officials conducted through
out yesterday. A report was i'm
mediately made to the Depart
ment of Commerce and William
A. Steuart. director of the bureau.
was instructed to make a COM
plete report on the matter.
The trickster. who made off
with the two pay envelopes, ap-
parently learned the names Of
his victims, got in line with other
employees. signed their names and
walked off with the envelopes.
Probe Is Difficult
Following discovery of the
trick, the pay-off was halted and
resumed only after instructions
had been issued that each EN-
ploye be identified by his depart
mental head before being paid.
Members of the business fraud
squad of the Detective Bureau
were called in but admitted they
were greatly handicapped be-
cause of the pay-off system used
and expressed doubt as to
whether the trickster would ever
be apprehended.
The "gypped" employees were
reimbursed, it was reported.
