COPS BEAT UP
LATIN WORKERS
Break Into Spanish
Workers Club

NEW YORK.-Police at l a. m.
yesterday morning broke into the
Spanish Workers Club, 1866 Madi-
son Avenue. and severely beat up
two workers who we're sleeping there.
One of the workers, Joe Rivera,
managed to escape, but the other,
whose name is unknown, was MUIR
derously beaten and then disappear
ed. All day yesterday the New York
District of the International Labor
Defense was trying to locate him at
police precincts and city hospitals,
but has thus far been unable TO learn
any news of him.
The attack by the police was a
wanton piece of Tammany savagery.
Since the American Legion has head
quarters in the same building, it is
thought that some of the fascist
Legionnaires may have had a hand
in it. Carl Hacker, secretary of the
New York District of the 1. L. D.,
has sent a strong letter to the police
department denouncing this brutal
attack and demanding a halt to the
terrorist activities of the police.

HARLEM FRAMEUP
CASE POSTPONED
-Four Workers Jailed
By Police Spy

NEW YORK.-The trial of the
four Negro workers arrested on a
framed up charge made by the Gar
vey reformist and police spy, Grant,
was again postponed yesterday by
the judge who hesitates to carry
through this vicious frame-up in the
face of the rising protest of the
masses.
The four workers are David War
field, Sam Brown, Arthur Williams
and Louis Campbell All four are
unemployed and were arrested at
the headquarters of the Harlem I'm
employed Council at 1853 Lenox Ave.
They were charged by the police
spy, Grant, of stealing his pocket
book and being revolutionary
workers.
The judge yesterday acceded to
the demand of the International
Labor Defense that bail in the case
of Warfield and Brown who are still
in jail be reduced He reduced it
from $4,000 to 81 1000 each. Bail had
been originally set at the exorbitant
sum of $4,000 each. The district
I. L. D. office expects to get the
comrades out today.

AMTER EXPOSES ANTT-LABOR
DEEDS OF YOUNG SOCIALISTS

Tense, who are conducting the de-
tense of these boys in the court, and
are mobihzing masses Of white and
Negro workers to effect their re-
lease These young socialist leaders
together with their adult socialist
mentors are truly the friends Of the
Negroes!
The young socialist leaders say
they are against wage cuts: then
they must answer the sell-outs in
Rochester by Hillman, in Kensington
by Music, in Marion, N c., by Hoff-
man. Words-words, but their ac-
tons betray them.
The worst scandal Of the position
of these young socialist leaders is
their enmity to the Soviet Union.
Who, we ask, helped to pay the eX-
penses for the preparation for armed
intervention in the Soviet Union or
ganized by the Second SOCIALIST
International and the imperialist
powers, if not the American socialist
party? Who has conducted more
vicious campaign against the Soviet
Union than the Jewish Daily For
ward?
These young socialist leaders will
not be able to conceal their identity
as budding social fascist leaders.
With the support of the renegades
from the Communist Party and
Young Communist League - the
Lovestoneites and Trotzkyites, whose
cause they eloquently plead in their
declaration-they use radical Ian
guage. because the working class
wishes to fight against the miserable
conditions under the capitalist syst
tenn, against the coming imperialist
war and for defense Of the Soviet
Union. But their actions show where
these young socialist leaders stand
in trying to keep the sincere rank
and file of the young socialist or
CARNATIONS from lining up with the
revolutionary youth. But just as in
Germany. so too in the United
States, the working youth recognizes
that not only in word, but in deed
in revolutionary policy and lead
ership in the struggle-the Commu-
mist Party and Young Communist
League alone represent and fight for
their in terests-against the capitalist
class ana government and their
tools, the socialist party leaders and
the other enemies of the workers in
the ranks of the working class. They
will not be kept from the ranks and
from support Of the Communist
Party and YCL-not even the young
socialist leaders will be able to re-
strain them, once they recognize the
nter-revolutionary character OF
the socialist party and YPSL.
