D e = / S ion

NEW YORK, July s. - August Yo-
kinen, janitor of a Finnish workers
hall in Harlem, who was expelled
from the Communist Party at pub
lie trial on March 3 for white chau-
vinism, has been ordered deported to
Finland by Harry E. Hull, Commits
sioner General of the immigration
Department at Washington on the
ground of belonging to an organiza-
ton teaching and advocating the
overthrow of the government by force
and violence, according to a state
ment made public by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense. The decision
will be appealed to the Federal
Courts.
The decision ordering Yokinen's de-
portation reached the Offices of
Shorr, Brodsky and King, attorneys
for the International Labor Defense.
The department of Labor rendering
its decision states that Yokinen, be-
cause of membership in an organiza-
ton which advocated the overthrow
of the government by force and vio-
lence, and because of his belief in
these principles, should be deported,
to the country of his birth, Finland.
At the trial on March 8, Yokinen
publicly admitted his errors and re-
canted. A jury of white and Negro
workers found him guilty but be-
cause of his admission of wrong-do-
ing and promise to work for the unity
of Negro and white workers it was
recommended that he be expelled
from the Communist Party with the
right TO re-apply for admission after
months Next day the innmigra-
ton officials in New York arrested
him for his membership in the Com
munist Party and lodged him in FL
lis Island. He was released on $500
bail.
When word reached here Of the
Washington decision, George Maui
rer, assistant secretary of the I. L. D.
issued the following statement:
August Yokinen is being deported
because of his admission of wrong
doing when he Disseminated against
Negroes. If Yokinen would not have
recanted the Department of Labor
would not deport him. We shall ap-
peal the case"

5 SCOTTSBORO
MEETS TONIGHT
Demand Release of 9
Negro Boys

NEW YORK-Today is the day
| originally set by the Alabama bosses
for the mass murder of eight of the
9 innocent Scottsboro Negro boys.
On this day throughout the country,
workers, colored and white, are
again reiterating their indignation
at this hideous frame-up and their
demand for the unconditional release
of the boys.
In New York City, there will be
eight meetings tonight for the de-
Tense of these working class victims
of capitalist justice. The two main
meetings will be at the st. Luke's
Hall, 125 West 130th Street, in Har-
lem, and at the Ambassador Hall,
172d st. and Third Avenue, The
Bronx. Colored and white workers
will attend both these meetings to
push the fight against the legal
lynching of the boys.
There will also be several open air
meetings in the Bronx and in Har-
lem to mobilize the workers for the
two meetings. Members of Section
Four are urged to be at the new
headquarters, 10 West 129th Street,
at 6 O'Clock.
Brooklyn workers will have three
indoor meetings, at 1862 Bergen ST.,
corner Rochester Ave; at 81 Graham
Ave; and at 1872 Cumberland st.
All workers are urged to attend
these meetings and join the mass
fight which alone can rescue the
Scottsboro boys from the murderous
maws of the Southern boss lynchers
Workers, colored and white, unite
in the fight to free the boys and to
smash lynch law, Jim Crowism, and
Negro oppression!

Workers
to Strike Thurs.
for July Raise

NEW YORK.-At the meeting of
6ogskin workers held in the Office of
the Industrial Union today, the
workers enthusiastically decided to
strike for July raises and general
improvements Of conditions. The
strike is called for Thursday morn
ing at 7 o'clock All workers en-
ployed in these shops are called upon
not to go up to work and to report
to the strike headquarters at 131 w.
18th st. At the meeting the work
ers expressed their determination to
put an end to the chaos, the low
wages and miserable conditions Of
the fur workers.
While preparations were going on
for this strike of the dog workers,
the organization campaign in the
other shops continued in full swing.
A number of new strikes were de-
clared today, while many OF those
that have been on strike until today
we're settled, granting increases to
the workers. The campaign is
spreading out every day. The at
tempts of the company union to in
terfere with the organization of the
fur workers thru their fake peace
manouevers has failed to have any
effect on the fighting spirit of the
workers. The furriers recognize that
only by fighting under the leadership
of the Industrial Union will they
win the July raises.
All fur workers are called upon to
come out in the market Thursday
morning to help distribute the strike
call Of the dogskin workers.

her into closed automobile.
mo" she sturdily insisted, we're
marching against hunger, so I must
march, because I'm hungry and I
want lots of things to eat!'
This section of the hunger march
passed through company towns
where already scores of evictions
have taken place and miners fami-
lies are waiting for tents to shield
their few household things from the
rain. Hundreds more eviction no
tees fall due within the next few
days. In every town, the march
swelled in numbers.
Even if there weren't a placard to
tell who they were, the rows and
rows of gaunt, determined faces,
thin bodies covered in clothes so old
that they have become colorless, elo-
quently told And the singing and
cheering and shouting of slogans
from the spirited lines marching in
the pouring rain told of the miners
determination to fight to finish
the battle against hunger.
But meanwhile the striking min
ers ask for relief In addition to
playing a leading role on the picket
lines, the women collect relief in the
nearby towns and farms and run the
soup kitchens. But the entire coal
area is poverty stricken and little
can be collected there. The Pennsyl-
vania Ohio Striking Miners Relief
Committee is doing its utmost TO
send the barest necessities of life to
the 10000 striking miners and their
families spread over 40 mile front.
The donations sent to 1893 Broad
way, Room GA, New York City, de-
termine how many camps can re-
ceive relief.
Relief, especially at this point, is
of vital Importance to the life of the
strike. Help the miners win their
struggle against starvationi Send

Over 100 delegates were selected to

by Secretary of Commerce Lamont
and Secretary of Labor Doak De-
spite the fact that to help the u.

the striking pickets will express their
protest against this strike breaking
activity of the Hoover government, in
harmony with the Pinchot mine
operators, UMWA and the gunner
forces in the coal fields. This con-

NAVY BANDS TO PLAY

The Navy's bands will continue to
play at various functions throughout
the country. despite protests by the
American Federation of Musicians,
leaving the problem to Congress to de-

This was indicated today at the Navy
Department, where the Judge Advo-

the law permits the present procedure.
He and his predecessors have so advised
the naval authorities and this program
will be followed until altered by other
legislation.
Joseph N. Weber, president Of the
musicians organization, complained
that the Navy's bands were encroaching
upon the income of private musicians,

within their rights in doing as they
have been.
