Il
1t has been disclosed at the
White House that President Hoover
would participate in dedicating the
Marion (Ohio) memorial to War
rem G. Harding if he were invited.
Plans for dedicating the memorial
have been held up for a long time
and no date for the ceremony has
yet been set. Mr.. Harding became
President in 1921 and died in 1923.
He appointed Mr.. Hoover Secre-
tary of Commerce at the begin
ming of his term.
Records of the number of the
pilgrims and worshippers well
coined at Washington Cathedral
during 1890 indicate that the great
edifice rising on Mount Saint Al
ban now ranks consistently with
the Capitol, the Washington Mon
ument and the Lincoln Memorial
as a center of tourist interest
With several days yet to be tab
ulated, the total number of visi-
tors for the year is already in ex-
cess of 277,000. The count is
made of persons entering the
Bethlehem Chapel, the first por
ton of the cathedral to be com.
pleted and the scene of daily SER
vices. Since January |, 1927, vel
over 100000 worshipers and pill
grims have attended.

NY. PROLETARIAN
PARTY JOINS C. P.
N. Y. Local Follows
Lead of Cleveland

Following the lead of the Cleve-
land local, the New York local of the
Proletarian Party last week voted to
disband and affiliate with the Com
munist movement. Of the thirty
members, ten have already applied
for admission to the Communist
Party, the rest joining the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Trade
Union Unity League.
The workers who have taken this
step joined the Proletarian Party
thinking that 1t was an active fighter
in the class struggle, Instead they
found a sect which was opposed to
political activity and relied on spon-
taneity. The last convention of the
Proletarian Party decided that while
the Communist International should
be supported, its American section
must not. The same regarding the
Red International of Labor Unions
and the Trade Union Unity League
Quite rightly, the members of the
Party think that these decisions are
contradictory.
Among those who have joined the
Communist Party are Wiener, Korin,
Anderson, M. Korb, B. Korb, Wagner,
Carlson and Rubin.

saw so militant and tremendous a
mass of workers like this before. All
the police and plainclothesmen were
there to try to scare us, but they
didn't.
"That night, when we came home
from the meeting, the police and the
xxx. came to the house and took
one man living there away at the
point of gun. They thought he was
me, because it was dark and he was
in bed, They put hood over his
head, and beat him up very terribly.
Then they took him to the aviation
port and in the light they took the
mask off his head
Then they got real mad because
they had made mistake. They al
most killed him."
Supported Mine Strike
Every week, throughout the dura-

In spite of the great unemployment,
and cuts in wages, the tobacco work
ers contributed regularly. Four hun

A young seaman further showed
that all the large institutions that
pretended to do something for you
really don't. He hasn't worked since
last Christmas when he worked as a
dishwasher for 81 week. When he
came to New York, he tried to get
help from the Y.M.C.A. as he was
a member out West, but they refused
to do anything for him or even give
him the opportunity to wash up there.
So he went to the Salvation Army.
The stale bread and chicory, called
coffee" drove him away. They told
him they could only get job for one
who is citizen, and has lived in the
city for two years. Well since Sea-
man can't they are out of luck. He
made one more attempt to get help
from one of the churches on 142nd
st. Here the soup was even worse.
So after all these attempts he is
forced to get by, panhandling.
Many of the workers present had
been down to the registration lines to
get job, but found that they. we're
merely given card and told to wait.
Many of them realized that they must
remain members of the unemployed
council in order to fight for imme-
date relief, and for an unemploy-
ment insurance. The Hearing made
arrangements to meet on bath st.
and Lenov Ave. today to go down in
body to city hall and demand that
some of the 1851 100000 budget be
turned over for unemployed relief,
and that each unemployed worker be
given $3.50 for winter, pending the
passage of the unemployment insur-
ance bill.

she could get affidavits that she has

they threw her out entirely.

cost of bread.
The price of bread, which was
raised once last summer, has now
been raised again. Workers are
forced to pay and 8 cents for a
pound of bread and 20 cents for a
dozen rolls. The workers wages have
ben cut and the children are crying
for bread, which is doubly hard to
buy now at the increased prices. The
answer against this new increase in
the cost of living must be a gigantic
mass protest of the workers.

for bread, not at the expense of the
bakers wages.

with the A. F, of l.
After persistent pressure on the
part of the workers to force the
leaders" to take action against the
lockout, the takers Of the so-called
union were forced to agree to declare
the shop on strike.
BY moving the shop to 18th st,
Corner 9th Ave, the firm changed its
name and now threatens with an in
junction against the strikers. The
officials of this scab union stated
brazenly at strike meeting that they
are against the strike altogether and
will not give any legal aid to the
workers in case of arrest. Nor will
they give any financial relief to the
strikers.
But the strikers are determined tc
go on with the strike regardless of the
desertion of their corrupt leaders.

the strikers are offered every possible
