TEST MOBILIZATION
OF FASCIST TROOPS
Hitler'S Militia Leader Admits
Brunswick Rally Had
Design.
By the Associated Prsss.


BERLIN. october ao.--An admlsaiosa
that the huge demonstration BY Faecist
shock troops In Brunswick o few weeks
ago was nothing less than O test Of o
mobilization order TO determine how
quickly the party could muster it, mill.
tary forces, was made In Berlin today by
Col Roehm, leader OF Adolf Hitlers
militia.
The demonstration, which brought
within three days, cost the Fascist
general staff only 81, 400. the remainder
Of the huge expense being borne by tia
party members themselves. The Nasi
tFascist) leaders regard this sign of
loyalty rs highly important. and defy
any other political militia, or the Reichs-
wehr itself. to duplicate their perform
ar1ce, namely, to moboliSe and demo-
billie $4,000. or even $4,000, men within
the same space Of time.
Col. Roehm estimated the total
strength of the Fascist shock troops
today at 100000. 1t Is known that
5000 of these forces are CHARTERED in
Berlin. goodly portion of them In
strongholds approximating military
barracks.
Action II Awaited.
Non Fascist Germany Is impatiently
awaiting the possibility OF action by
Gen. Groener, minister of defense and
head Of the Reichswehr, In reference to
the Brunswick demonstration, which
resulted In bloodshed and few killings.
Reports have indicated that Gen.
Groefier would forbid all political dem
oristrations In the future, as well 20 the
wearing Of uniforms. He has, however
already denied this, stating that the
governments Of the various states had
sufncient power. to prevent acts Of ter
rurism and violence.
The federal government appears TO
have overlooked, at least In It's public
statements, the signiflcance Of the
Brunswick meeting, In the light Of Col
Roehm's admission today. All oficial
reports on the affair have been sketchy
and inconclusive. while admitting that
blood had been spilled, these reports
stated that on the whole the Nazis re-
manned orderly and the authorities
never lost control of the situation.
Adolf Hitler himself has consistently
maintained his party would never seek
power by means of violence.
Even granting the Brunswick demon
stration may have served as o test Of
mobilization for defensive purposes
alone, It's sheer mechanics we're carried
out with unusual efficiency. One
phase of the maneuver, for example.
was the inauguration OF special shock
troop Terry across the River EIDE near
Burg after the City of Madgeburg had
forbidden the transportation Of troops
through the streets. Na7i sentfies were
placed for great distance all along
the routes leading to Brunswick. Hum
dreds of automobiles and many Berlin
taxicabs were pressed into service for
the mobilization, the cost OF the gaso-
line being betrayed by the occupants.
Col. Roehm reiterated his earlier pre-
diction that Hitler would be In control
OF Germany before the present year Is
out.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. is.-A
provision to feed two million bushels
of wheat to the unemployed, without
any provision for grinding 1t into
flour or even for gas to boil the
grain, II being pushed in congress.
A bill to turn over that much of
the Farm Boards wheat, bought to
raise the price and to provide sup
ply for the contemplated imperialist
war against the Soviet Union, is in
troduced into the Senate by Capper,
of Kansas. 1t is said that it will
probably pass the Senate, but pas
sage is doubtful in the House.
Government dieticians do not ex-
pect the wheat to be made into bread
They point out that 1t can be eaten
boiled, with a little salt. That will
be tiresome fare, but there is another
angle. A member of the Daily Work
err staff recently tried boiling some
of this wheat soft enough to eat, and
found that it takes, unless soaked for
hours beforehand, about four hours.

Workers and Students Storm Kuo-

In spite of this attempt to in
tirnidate the masses, a tremendous
nti-imperialist, anti Kuomintang
demonstration occurred in Marking.
The offices of Central Daily News,
official organ of the Kuomintang,
was wrecked by a storming Party
of indignant workers and students
Another crowd stormed the Central
Kuomintang headquarters, wrecking
everything in sight. Several govern

Unable to stem with lies and de-
magogic promises the tremendous
mass upsurge against imperialism,
the new government ordered its
troops to fire on the demonstrators.

CLOSE WESTLAND
MINE TO STARVE
MEN INTO CUTS
Trick of Bosses In At
tempt to Check Min
ers Striking

WESTLAND, Pa,-The Westland
No. mine of the Pittsburgh Coal Co.
was closed down completely on Dec.
is. Previously sections had been
closed one by one, and the miners
sent to the same company's Mon
tour No. mine where they were put
to work in rooms where other miners
were already working. This means
that now three or four leaders. work
ing in the same rooms, find it i'm
possible to make even the little they
had been getting.
Between 1900 and 1900 men had
been working in this mine at the
time of the big strike. Picketing be-
fore the Westland mines was ex-
tremely militant. Deputies shot into
the line one morning, killing one and
wounding many. SIS
Things are SO bad here now, the
company knows they'll probably be
another strike not far off" one miner
said That's why they're doing what
they did last year. only the other way
round. Last year they closed the
Montour No mine down knowing
the strike was coming, and when
Westland struck, reopened Montour
No. 4.
"As 1t is the boys were only getting
two or three days week. But now
with lots more miners there--they
won't make nickelp
During the strike the miners
rented a corner of nearby farm on
which to hold their meetings. But by
the next morning, the company
bought out the farmer and state
troopers we're on hand to chase all
miners off the grounds.
Il went to a miner to try to get
dues. He showed me that he and his
buddy we're working every day but
and what a but! Together, they were
making one car a dayi A two weeks
pay was five dollars-it isn't easy
feeding family on thatl They can't
even afford cigarettes.
"You can start in Castle Shannon
and go right up the line and you'll
find the same hing--starvstion.

R. R. BOSSES GET
UNIONLEADERS TO
ASSURE PAY CUTS
Rank and File Should
Organize Resistance

NEW YORK. presidents
who met here yesterday at the Hotel
Biltmore declared they took 1t for
granted that the leaders of the 81
railroad unions would work with
them to put over a 10 per cent wage
cut for 100000 railroad workers and
that mo labor trouble was expected"
The railroad bosses elected a COR
mittee to negotiate with the union
misleaders. The plan of the railroad
bosses is to give the railroad union
takers loophole by fake "assur-
ance" that part of the money the
bosses make by the wage cut will be
used for further railroad work. But
it is a known fact that the purpose
for which the wage cut is being put
into effect is to pay dividends on
stocks and bonds.
Another means by which the rail-
road bosses expect to aid the union
leaders put over the voluntary 10 per
cent wage cut is by threatening a Is
per cent cut. In this way the union
officials can say they gain something
by accepting the 10 per cent cut.
The committee of bosses and I'M
ion misleaders will take place around
Christmas so that the workers can
get Christmas present of cut in
wages which will turn $350,000,000
over to the railroad stock and bond
holders.
The National Railroad Industrial
League Is calling on the rank and
file railroad workers to organize their
own bodies to prepare for strike
against these forthcoming wage cuts.
