PLAN new ATTACK
ON W | R CAMP
Van Etten Fascists OPP
pose Reopening

VAN ETTEN, N. Y, Feb. Local
fascist elements are busy stirring up
sentiment against the reopening of
the Van Etten Children's Camp of
the Workers International Relief
which last year was attacked by the
Ku Klux Khan and police and its two
leaders, Mabel Husa and Aileen
Holmes, thrown into Jail.
The Kltlxers in preparing for their
attacks this summer on the camp are
spreading all sorts Of lies of threat
ening letters received, of murder
threats against those who sent
Holmes and Husa to Jail.
The real basis of the attacks on
the camp lies in the fear of the local
bosses that the working-class child
rem in the district will be taught a
working class outlook in place of the
bourgeois ideas taught them at
school. The boss press is terribly
concerned over the fact that every
evening the youngsters met on the
banks of Shepard's creek and sang
Justify about what the toilers were
going to do with the spoilers and
lot of other songs not heard coming
from the lips of American children"

PROTEST BAN ON
YOUNG WORKER
Hold Demonstration
Against Police

Over 500 young workers and work.
ing class children participated Sat-
urday afternoon in a militant DEM
onstration called in front Of the fed
eral post office, 33rd st. and Eighth
Ave, to protest against the banning
of the Young Worker, Young Pioneer,
and Vida Obrera from the mails by
the post office authorities. This DEM
onstration was the first of series
OF demonstrations and meetings to
be called all over the country to pro-
test against the banning of these
three working-clasS papers from the
mails.
The demonstration on Saturday
showed a real willingness and mill
fancy on the part OF the young work.
ers and children to fight for their
papers. Although the police had
modified over 200 to watch every
door and entrance to the post office
building, and to break up the dem
onstration, the youthful demonstra-
tors we're able TO put up a strong
fight and to keep their banners and
signs aloft for over half an hour.
However, the superior force of the
police was able to force the demon
stration back to Ninth Ave. and down
to 3Ist ST., where a militant fight
was put up in an attempt to break
through the line of mounted police,
plain-clothesmen and cops, for about
three quarters of an hour.
Many hundred copies of the Young
Worker, the Young Pioneer and the
Vida Obrera, together with thousands
OF leaflets explaining the demonstra-
ton, were distributed all over this
territory, which includes many needle
trades shops. A number of youth or
carnations, including branches of the
Labor Sports Union and the Interna-
tional Workers Order, helped and
participated in the demonstration.
The Young Communist League,
under whose auspices the demonstra-
ton was called, in statement issued
yesterday, explains that this is the
first of many demonstrations to be
called all over the country. 1t also
calls upon "all young workers to carry
on the fight which has now been
started inside of the factories and on
the breadlines among the unemployed
for support of the Young Worker,
Young Pioneer and Vida Obrera, and
to fight against the increased terror
against the working class through the
use of the Fish Committee"

MILK SALES DROP
OFF in NEW YORK
Worker Families Can't
Buy Necessities

ALBANY, Feb. LIN hyprcritical
gesture of helping the impoverished
farmers of New York state, Goevrnor
Roosevelt admitted that milk sales in
New York City has fallen off ap-
proximately $4,000 cans of fluid milk
per week. The same ratio of decrease
has occurred throughout the state,
he said.
In the effort to hide the fact that
milk sales have fallen off because
of mass unemployment, wage-cuts
and the inability of starving joblesS
workers and their families to buy this
very necessary item of diet, Roose-
welt wants the farmers to believe that
the fall in milk sales is their fault
and that they can overcome it by
following the robbers and takers in
the Dairymen's League. why is it
not feasible to utilize this mighty
machinery to turn the tide for the
dairy industry?" he asks.
He also criticized the dairy farm
ers for being small consumers Of
their own products" but failed to tell
them how they are to keep any of
their products for home consumption
under present conditions when they
are forced to hand over all they pro-
duce to the big distributing corpora
lions at prices that hardly pay them
for their labor and which are an in
significant proportion of the prices
these robbers charge the public.

ers and Spanish workers are hired
and paid less than the white workers,
"Piece work, Speed-up, home work
and long hours are being forced upon
you as the price you have to pay for
a miserable living. Thousands of you
are turned out into the streets as q
result Of the ever greater speed-up.
You are compelled to slave nine and
ten hours daily, including Saturdays
and Sundays,
"In order to still more reduce your
earnings and to drive you to still
greater speedup, the bosses have
drawn into industry, thousands Of
young workers of schol age, who slave
for next to nothing. Everything
under the sun is being done to reduce
you to state of beggary."
The call urges the dressnakers Of
Harlem to join the Needle Trades

ganize committee Of action in their
places of work, to be ready to answer
the strike call in February.
The strike is to smash the sweat
shop conditions, and fight for an
increase in wages, minimum wage

ployment insurance.

Boom Roosevelt
lContinned from Pace y

Continued from Page j.
has succeeded in building up this
organization.
Morton, with the assistance of one
or two prominent Republicans who
were disgruntled over the choice o.
Tuttle for governor and Hawkins
for judge, then proceeded to elect
two Democratic judges in Harlem,
and carry every candidate into of
flee, even a former red cap, who
went to the assembly.
The most amazing feature of this
election is the fact that Morton Sc
lected one American born man and
one West Indian born citizen. This
stroke united the two distinct ele-
ments into a solid machine, forcing
the Colored voters to vote for both
men and not split the ballot.
Few West Indians have been
elected to office on the Republican
ticket, the fact that they were of
West Indian origin being against
them from the beginning as was in
the case of H. .Adolph Howell when
he ran for the assembly. His de-
feat was a great blow to his pride.
However, Morton's place thus far
is secure, unless the sweeping in
vestigation the Republicans plan
comes to Harlem. Then, Morton,
along with the other leaders of the
Democratic party, will have a great
deal of explaining to do. And, Incl
dentally. some Republicans will be
hard hit in this investigation also.
