NEW YORK.-A janitor, A. Goes

his home yesterday, March II, at 1862
Belmont Ave, Brooklyn. A member
of the BronXville Unemployed Coun-
Gil, hearing of the case, reported it
to his fellow workers who Immediately
went to the place and found the
furniture in the street. They broke
down the door of The house and put
the furniture back.
They went back in the morning to
see if everything was alright, when
they were encountered by the janitor
who informed them that the furni-
ture was thrown out of the house
again and that policemen were placed
on guard to see that no one touches
the furniture.
The Bronxville Unemployed Coun-
Gil together with the janitor held a
meeting, and they decided that they
were determined to put the furniture
back in the house. They went to the
home and spoke to the landlord next
door and organized the tenants there.
When they did so, some policemen,
fearing the tenants would be aroused
at this injustice inflicted upon the
janitor, arrested two of the members

Indian Communists Staggey
Gamdhi by Exbosing Fakeyy


For the first time in the history of
India, Gandhi, the tool of British
Imperialism, was publicly exposed to
thousands of Indians in a Bombay
mass meeting, as the willing instru-
ment of the British exploiters and an
enemy of the laboring masses of the
laboring masses of India.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Bombay, India, tells of the startling
exposure of Gandhi by Indian Com
munists who leaped onto the platform
from which Gandhi was to speak
Down with Gandhi, down with the
Indian National Congress and British
imperialism" shouted the Conmun-
lists when Gandhi came forward tc
tell the masses to submit to the Brit
ish masters. The Associated press
dispatch then goes on to tell of the
stirring event.
"Gandhi seemed in a daze as the
Communists rushed the platform, rip
ping the Congress tricolor from its
staff. This had never happened to
him before in lifetime of peaceful
fighting for Indian independence ca.
"A Communist clambered on the
platform and harangued the crowd,
abusing Gandhi for 'betraying the
workers by failure to provide for the
release from prison of labor agitators
under his truce with the Viceroy
There was the utmost confusion as
Gandhi's men hauled the speaker
down, tore from his hands the red
flag which he would have placed at
the staff, and restored their own BAN
ner of red, green and white"
When attacking the Communists,
Gandhi's followers forgot their
peaceful methods.
Gandhi's confusion was indeed
great when his real role was exposed
before the masses. He was forced to
spend q, great portion of his speech
to explaining why he did not de-
mand the release of the Meerut pris-
oners who have rotting in Jail for
nearly two years for organizing the
Indian workers. Gandhi tried to say
that he did not make this a condi-
ton with the Viceroy because it did
not seem to be lin the interest of in
dependence"
The exposure of Gandhi by the In
dian Communists will have its echo
throughout the length and breadth
Of India.
