TRIALSUJNDAYFOR
WORKERS ENEMIES
Masses Are Jury Over
Hoover, Green, Thomas

NEW YORK. Sunday,
at pm, at New Star Casino, 10th
Street and Park Avenue, Hoover,
Thomas, Green and Walker will be
put on trial by working class court.
These men, enemies of the work
ing class, are charged with the crime
of allowing the 100000 unemployed
in the country to Starve, OF clubbing
and sending them to jail Their
crimes are making an agreement to
cut their wages, with the active sup
port of the fascist leaders Of the
American Federation of Labor, with
Green at their head, and of Norman
Thomas, leader of the social-fascist
socialist party, which has lent full
aid to the wage-slashing campaign
of the bosses. The police of the vari-
Gus cities, but notably New York,
have dubbed and beaten up the I'M
employed mercilessly, with open sup
port of the mayors, especially Walker.
These enemies of the working class,
carrying on government for the ben
eft of the bosses, have the use OF
every public tribunal - the courts,
press, church, radio, and thus have
,e1u able to confuse many workers
as to the issue--legalism agains. the
crying needs of the workers, millions
of whom are starving and freezing
in the streets of the cities
Every worker should attend this
trial, and give expression to the in
Iqnation of the working class. The
workers of New York should help in
formulating the verdict against the
brazen enemies of the working class.
1t becomes particularly importans
in view of the provocative efforts
of the Fish Congressional Commit
tee, which held meeting last night
at Carnegie Hall, at which the fas-
clstS attempted to mobilize sentiment
for drastic working class legis-
lation in the United States Co,

Mella fought, not only against die

erican Imperialism.
1t is now two years since Antonio
A1ella was shot to death in Mexico
City by agents of President Machadc
Of Cuba, a lackey of Yankee i'm
perialism. He was tireless and
passionate pioneer of Communism
both in Cuba and Mexico.
The fight which Mella in a sense
began is maturing now in tremendous
political struggles. These struggles
are centered first Of all against Amer
lean imperialism and linked with the
fights of the workers here in the
United States.
1t is the duty and should be the
Joy of all revolutionary and militant
workers in the United States to share
in the work Of Mella through aiding
the Latin American workers here and
in Latin America. The masses of
Latin America are seething with rev.
olution and offer the most loyal alli-
ance to the workers of the United

1t is particularly important that

NEW YORK.-The 18th Anniver-

AT these meetings Negro and white

The New York celebration will be
at the st. Nicholas Ring, SO West

New York will show by their support
of the 18th Anniversary Celebration
that they clearly understand that
behind the attacks on the Commun-
list Party and its press, behind the
attempts of the Post Office to sup
press the Young Worker, the Pioneer,
Vida Obrera and other revolutionary
papers, lies the sinister purpose OF
enacting harsher laws against the
working class as part of the bosses
campaign to crush the growing resiS-
lance of the workers and poor farm
ers against increasing mass unem-
ploymrret, wage cuts, lay-offs with
fake unemployment at lower wages,
speed-up, starvation and other crimes
committed against the working class
in the vain effort to save the shaky
capitalist system,
For seven years, the Daily Worker,
as the central organ of the Com
