In order to cover the real meaning
of this further step against the
workers, the Socialist leaders Wells
and Breitscheid, said that this sup
port was given to the Brrening gov
eminent because BrUening was fight

ing government shows this to be a
lie out of the whole cloth.
Despite the mild speeches against
Hitler made by DR.. Bruen;ng, the
Bruening government has been max

The American capitalist press which
supports both Hitler and Bruening, has

were agreements between Hitler and
Bruening, looking to a coalition fas-
cist government between the two.

In this statement Mr.. Doak an.
nounces that his sleuths have
uncovered the terrible secret
that the recent Hunger March

feels that the government

FIGHT ANTI

Legislature Refuses to

Syndicalist Law
Frame-up By UMWA
Aim to Keep Workers
Under Hunger Rule

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Dec. 1.-THE
United Front Committee headed by
the International Labor Defense,
formed to fight against the criminal
syndicalist law, went to the state
legislature to make its demands but
was denied the floor. The United
Front Committee is demanding the
release Of Bill Gebert, organizer of
the Communist Party in Chicago, and
six other workers who we're indicted
on criminal syndicalist charges in
Southern illinois.
The Daily Worker exposed the fact
several days ago that the indictment
against Gebert and the others was
made at the request and by the CO.
operation Of the United Mine Work
ers officials and the coal operators
The indictment itself said that to call
for a strike against hunger and star
Walton was criminal syndicalism.
When the United Front Committee
was refused the floor in the. Illinois
Legislature it presented a statement,
but the statement was not read by
Speaker Shanahan. He called it
"anarchistic" because it exposed the
criminal syndicalist law and how it
is used to enforce hunger and to
prevent the workers from organizing
for struggle.

when the jury, celebrating only IL

Schneider was charged with stab

The frame-up was SO brazen that
prosecution witnesses admitted on the

Nudelman himself first said some

that he was paid $50 a week for a

ing more of its attention to food,
clothing and other lighter branches
of industry. The amount of money
to be set aside for supplies will be
1872 per cent over 1881. So per cent
more will be expended on the large

AS a further step towards the solv-
ing of the housing shortage, nearly
ninety per cent more than in 1881 is
cent more on parks and other public

to be doubled and the road system
will be greatly improved in order to
facilitate the use of the trucks and
autos that are rolling off the belts
in the new industrial giants.
Next year special attention is to
be paid to the development of the
state farms for butter, eggs and the
other staples, which American work
ers are seeing less and less OF.
Because of the tremendous increase
in travel, and transportation Of goods,
the Soviet railroad has been subject
to very severe strain. Railroads have
been the weakest link in the Five
Year Plan. Next year the investment
in this branch of the economic life
of the U. S. S. R. will be increased
by 343 per cent over this year.
