LONDON.-Rumblings of revolt

despite the continued statements Of
the British government that the

matter of the wage-cut in the hands
of the government. This came to the
light on November Bird through a

tries to pass the discharging Of the
men as purely routine matter, the

German Crisis W0rsens; Big
Loss of Gold, More Imitation

Failure of the combined efforts of
international capitalism to halt the
economic processes which are under
mining German capitalism is shown
in the weekly report of the Reichs-
bank issued yesterday. The report
admits that the gold coverage fell to
269 per cent, with decreace during
the week of 12,19s,O0O marks (about
s3o0o,oo0).
Initiation Is proceeding at rapid
pace. with an increase in worthless
paper money of 373,10l, 900 marks
about s9s,coo,00) during the same
week. The sharpening OF the finan-
cial crisis Is thus further intensifying
the economic crisis, and creating the
conditions for the further impover-
shment of the German masses, al
ready suffered bitterly under the COM
oined attacks of German and inter-
national capitalism.
In the meantime in Paris, the Ger

waited on Premier Laavl to receive
orders for the Bruening Government,
based on the recent secret pacts ar
rived at between Laval and Hoover.
These orders call for further attack
on the standards of the German
masses, through wage cuts, and the
lowering Of the dole.
At the Paris conference the bride
Of decrease in reparation payments

capitalists in the effort to complete
the anti-Soviet front, by drawing

Jobless Demonstrate in
Portland, Ore.

KENOSHA, Wis, Nov. 4.-Three
thousand demonstrated in front of
the City Hall Monday night in sup
port of the demands of the Unem-
ployed Council which were pre-
scented to the City Council. The
demonstration was broken up and
the workers gassed by hundreds of
policemen and many plainclothes-
men, some imported from Wauke-
gon and the Socialist city of
Racine. The workers militantIy
resisted the attack.
HurI Tear Gas Bombs
About a dozen tear bombs were
used, nine workers were arrested, five
of them were not members of the
Council. The firemen and the le-
gionaires were also modified. After
the demonstration was broken up, all
the hoodlums, with the conniyance
of the police, went to the Workers
Center and tried to pick a fight, but
because of the large number of
workers there, they waited around
until late into the night, breaking
several windows.
Unemployed Council Active
The Unemployed Council was or
ganized during the election campaign
and has taken care of numerous cases
of starving families. Only a few get
one dollar or two dollars worth of
groceries and there is mass starvation
among the seven thousand unem-
ployed who were brutally refused re-
lief by the relief agencies.
After sending the committee to
the Relief Director, Saftig, they were
referred to the City Council. Only
two members of the comnaittee were
permitted to enter the Council
meeting and after presenting their
demands, they were fatty refused by
the tools of Nash, Simmons and
others, just as the city manager,
O'Brien and the grating police
Sullivan refused permit.
Workers Indignant
There was tremendous indignation
among the workers, including the
business men, for the gas attack in
the heart of the city. There will be

Capitalist Class Courts
D. yORaR

Rub this under the nose of any who say that
Communists "exaggerate" when they call the
courts capitalist institutions. We give it in all
its pristine purity, just as it appeared in the
Chicago Tribune of March 18:
Evansville, Ind, March 1s-(SpeciaL-
Inez B. Crandall, widow Of Joseph T. Crandall,
fireman, killed in an explosion Of Louisville 81
Nashville railroad locomotive, was sentenced TO-
day, the anniversary Of her husbands DEATH to
serve three months in the womens prison and
to pay $500 fine and costs, by Probate Judge
Travis B. Williams, for contempt Of court.
"The contempt charge grows out Of her filling
a suit for $4,000 damages In the Circuit court
of st. Louis against the railroad company for
the death Of her husband, after an order handed
down by the Probate court last September en-
joined her from filling or prosecuting any suit
against the railroad In st. Louis.
MRS. Crandall is alleged to have disobeyed
this order. The woman was ordered to Jail at
once by the Judge, who declared he would sus-
pend her prison term provided she would dis
miss her damage suit in the st. Louis court"
So! Contempt of court is about the mildeSt
"offense" we could imagine the workers widow
could be guilty Of
