BANK in CANTON.
OHIO, CLOSED UP

CANTON, Ohio, Aug. 34.-The
American Exchange Bank, resources
of $1,2o0,oO0, failed to open its doors
on August 21.-The usual bunk is be-
ing handed to the workers. Accord
ing to the Repository, the banks d.
rectors requested the state banking
department to take the bank in hand
to preserve" the assets for deposit
ors. They claim that each depositor
will receive their money in full.
These are the same tactics used
several months ago when the Cam
ton Bank 81 Trust Co. closed It's
doors. Since that time several state
ments have been issued, promising
payments in full or with small loss.
But no small depositor has as yet
received anything.
This morning several hundred
workers gathered at the Exchange
Bank and many mothers and wives,
with this additional worry placed
upon them, pounded on the bank
doors. Tears were seen in the eyes
of many.

GENERAL STRIKE
ON IN PALESTINE
Arabs Protest British
Rule and Zionism

Reports from Jerusalem to capital
list news agencies say that British
imperiaIst police fired into a crowd
of more than 1000 Arabs who dem
onstrated Monday on the occasion Of
a general strike, against the new
British action in granting sealed
armories to Jewish colonials planted
in Palestine by and with the cooper
alton of British imperialism.
The Arabs have been protesting
against the new display Of armed &C.
ton against them by their oppres-
sors. The Jewish peasants who have
been transplanted to Palestine with
the help of the various Jewish ma
tionalist bourgeoiSie become for the
most part the unconscious tool of
the British imperialists In their
struggle against the Arab workers
and peasants, who are fighting an
anti-imperialist struggle.
The Arab demonstrations are be-
coming of greater significance. One
incident reported as unique is the
appearance of hundreds of Moham-
medan women in the streets march
ing and shouting: Down with the
mandatory British rule of Pales-
tine through Zionist aSsistance.)
Long live Arab independence"
All trade has been suspended for
the duration of the general strike.

Negro and White Workers Unite in Relief
Fight in Sutroville, Cal.

When they went to the politician
that ran the welfare department, he
tried to separate the Negro from the
white workers by telling him that
they were "a gang of thieves" and
that he should not be with them.
The Negro worker refused to be fooled
and told the faker that they were
his fellow workers and were ready
to fight for him and that he would
be damned if he would separate from
them but would continue to fight
side by side with them in all their
fights. The solidarity of these work.
ers forced the faker to give some
immediate relief.
The workers are not harboring any
belief about this miserable relief
being any permanent solution. Their
main fight is for unemployment in
surance. In the meantime they will
continue to make these takers give
back to workers some of the booty
they have stolen from them and
will fight side by side workers of
every race and creed.

SUTROV lille, Cal.-Sutroville is
suburb of Stockton, aptly. termed
Hungerville. 1t has a predominately
American born population, many Of
them of southern extractions, some of
whom have been poisoned for gen.
erations by the virus of race preju-
dice instilled by the bosses. The work
of the Sutroville branch of the IN
employed Council and the pressure
of the crises has dispelled this and
all workers, Negro and white here
now realize that they have but one
common fight, one common enemy,
the boss class and are uniting to
fight that fight.
There are but a few colored
families in Sutroville. But when the
attention Of the council was called
to the fact that there was Negro
family in need of food, committee
of eight was formed consisting of all
white members to go to the welfare
department and to demand food for
their colored fellow worker.

CHICAGO WORKERS PUSH PLANS 70
FOR SEPT. Is JOBLESS MEETING

and their national and local govern
ments have refused adequate relief
to the unemployed and have met
delegations Of unemployed workers
with police clubs, machine guns and
gas bombs. The Call states, in part:
THE third winter Of mass unem-
ployment is herel More than 100000
unemployed, white and Negro, work
ers in the city Of Chicago and Cook
County, together with their families,
are starving. Children are crying for
drop of milk. Men and women are
hungry. Many face death from
starvation. BY the orders of the cap
italist courts thousands are being
evicted from their homes and thrown
on the streets. Mayor Cermak, the
City Council, the Cook County Board,
the State Legislature, Governor En-
merson, the Hoover government and
the U. s. Congress have been an
swering the demand for social insur-
ance, for bread and shelter for the
hungry unemployed by bullets, club

women and children.
zone Of the fake gestures Of
Mayor Cermak after the Aug. 8 mas
sacre Of unemployed workers was a
promise to raise $13,00o,ooo through
the Governor Enmerson Relief Com
mittee. We workers know about this
relief agency from last winter. They
raised at that time $5,o0oo0o, not
from the capitalists, but by forced
contributions from the workers in
the factories, who have been receiy-
ing starvation wages. A good part
Of this money went to professional
charity workers, who are making a
good living out Of the misery Of the
unemployed.
Following are some Of the de-
mands that the workers of Chicago
are fighting for:
81. Passage Of the Unemployment
Insurance Bill proposed by the Com
munist Party.
"2. Immediate relief Of SIS week
for every unemployed worker, with
So additional for each member of his
family.
"3. Stopping of the evictions of the
unemployed. Stopping OF the cut
ting off of gas and electricity.
Il. Reduction Of the exorbitant
rents in the Negro sections and also
in the entire city.
IS. Stopping of the wage cutting
campaign and the stagger plan,
whereby the bosses are seeking to
put the full burden of the crisis on
the shoulders of the workers and to
further impoverish the working class.
IS. Unconditional equal rights for
the Negro people, the abolition of all
Jim-Crow and discriminatory prac-
tees, the right Of self determination
for the Negro ajorities of the South
with confiscation of the land of the
rich landowners for the Negro and

BERLIN, Aug. 24.-The German
government states its intention Of
proposing to President Hindenberg a
new emergency enactment empower
ing provincial governments to i'm
pose measures needed to balance
provincial municipal accounts. The
constitutional rights of the German
states have been abolished and the
Diets ignored. Provincial govern
ments can retrench the social well
fare and wages Of civil servants.
Reformist trade union leaders en-
tered voluntary agreement with the
cities employers union, reducing the
wages of 100000 communal workers
about 5 per cent at the end Of Au-
gust. This agreement is only to
run until the end Of October, when
the provincial governments, aided by
the announced enactment, will dc
tate wage-cuts without consulting the
trdae unions.
Yesterday was Red Sport Culture
Day and a mass demonstration was
held in Berlin. Professions were pro-
hibited. Sixty thousand people
gathered in the Neukoelln Stadium.
Communist Deputy Neumann stressed
the persecution Of Communists but

lice surrounded the stadium and
treated the crowd brutally, but no
conflicts occurred, Red Day was
celebrated at Wuppertal with $4,000
participating. Professions lasted for
two hours.
