FAILING SHOWS UP

Try to Stiffle Quiz of
Bank of y. S.

NEW YORK.-The rottenness OF
the inside robbery of banks, and, the
connection between bankers and Tam
many grating politicians, is brought
out strikingly by the rare instance
Of the conviction of Frank H. warder,
state superintendent of banks of New
York state, whose place was taken
by Broderick, the present Tanamany
man in the same job. Warder took
a $4,000 bride from Francesca. M.
Ferrari. president of the City Trust
Co., which failed some time ago. He
was convicted Friday.
This clearly shows the connection
between the bank robbers and the
former state superintendent of banks,
and the 100000 depositors In = the
Bank Of the United States can draw
important lessons from this fact.A
In Bridgeton, N. J., j. Pierson
Reed and Charles A Barracloughy Of
ficisls of the Vineland Trust Co,
which failed, were given six-year Jail
terms for inside robbery of this bank.
AT the same time, the Tarnn1any
grating politicians who run the state
and city government and who are
closely connected with the Bank OF
the United States are being protected
through all sorts of fake investiga-
tons. Bernard <. Marcus, president
of the bank, is refusing to come to
any investigation. He gets away with
it because the phoney investigation is
in the hands Of Tammany henchmen

have it sent to them.
But these payroll parasites have a
little duty Of their own to perform.
They must return three per cent Of
their salaries to Hague as "a contri.
button to the campaign fund" This,
of course, is the most arrant kind of
poppycock, as Hague doesn't spend
as much of this money for campaign
purposes as he does op lunches
during the year.
These Campaign contributions"
from every person on the county
payroll, added to Hague's income
from gambling dens, bookies, drug
peddlers and labor racket5, amount
to not less than $5,00O,0 900 a year.
Church Ordered Raids.
Hague first attracted the attention
of the Jersey capitalists by his
handling of the Jersey City police
department, after he was elected
commissioner of public safety. I'M
mediately after he took ONCE. he
raided various saloons and brothels
and was promptly hailed as a re
form" commissioner. That, Of course,
is the reception that Hague hoped
for and expected, but the real reason
for the raids was something quite
different. The raids were instituted
at the express order of the Catholic
church, without an understanding Of
whose activities in New Jersey 1t is
impossible to understand either the
influence Of Hague or the unbeleve-
able oppression Of the mass of
workers in the state.
Better to solidfy his position as a
reform" police commissioner Hague
concocted a scheme that would not
only convince the workers in Jersey
City of his interest in their safety"
but would certify to his personal
courage. He got in touch with a
well-known New York gunman and
| told him that he would make IL
worth his while if he would arrange
with his gang to rob certain store
on Newark Ave, one of the city's
busiest streets. The gunrlar was
somewhat surprised. His relations
with police commissioners had been
the friendEest imaginable, but none
had ever actually gone so far as to
propose that he rob particular
place.
Hague soon enlightened the gun
man. The gang was to descend on
the store en- masse, actually UNLOCK
the door--and be arrested In the act
of tampering with the safe by none
other than Commissioner Hague
himself. who would be accompanied
by a dozen policemen. The gunman

commensurate with the risk entailed
in embarrassing his pals and on

BERLIN. The measures. of repres-
sion against the working class
adopted in Germany during the last
weeks prove that fascist methods are
becoming the regular methods of
government by the Bruening gov
eminent,
While the fascists\ demonstrate
against workers the police look on
and on the other hand there is no
demonstration of workers which is
not interrupted in its march, arrests
made, the nlarehers dispersed on the
ground of singing forbidden songs,
etc. ~
Now the government has gone one
step further and has forbidden all
demonstrations under the pretense of
trying to curb the fascist organiza-
tons. The practical administration
of this act will prove that it is, mainly
directed against the workers. Begin
ming from Wednesday the 10th of
December, all open air meetings and
demonstrations were banned. The
police have orders to disband any
demonstration without Warming
That means that free reign is given

These bans on demonstrations have
been issued already before in several
other states: In Leipzig, in Hamburg,
n Upper Silesia, in Dusseldorf, in
Badenia and Wuerttemberg and in
Bavaria workers demonstrations are
forbidden. In Hamburg the organ

JEWISH COIONISTS
IN SOVIET UNION
H Old CONGRESS
Contrast Conditions In
Other Lands

MOSCOW.-Onth the 10th of Deem
Der the second union congress of the
Jewish colonization society "Oset"
was opened in Moscow. Delegates
were present from all parts of the
Soviet Union and from a number Of
other countries, including the United
States of America, Latvia, Denmark
and Austria.
The chairman Of the society,
Diamondstein described the situation
Of the Jewish toilers in the Soviet
Union and compared it with the stu
alton of their fellows in the other
countries.
In Poland and Roumania the Jew
ish population was gradually decreas-
ing under the weight of anti-semitic
terror. In western Europe the Zion
ist illusions we're gradually dying.
The hope of building up a Jewish
State in Palestine was gradually being
abandoned. In the capitalist coun-
tries the masses of the Jews suffered
exploitation and oppression.
The speaker then dealt with the
situation in the Soviet Union where
the national minority problem had
been solved according to the prin-
ciples of Lenin, The "Oset" had over
100000 members, 81 per cent Of whom
were workers. The chief centres Of
Jewish colonization in the Soviet
Union we're Birobidjan and the
Crimea where $4,000 Jewish colo
nists had settled on 100000 hec-
tares of land.
Sixty per cent Of these Jewish
colonists were organized in collective
agricultural undertakings.

BRITISH CLAIM CAPTURE
OF PEASANT REBEL FORT

The British troops, ordered by the
Macdonald labor government to
crush the rebel peasants in the Thar
awadday area, Burma, claim they
have destroyed one Of the strong
holds of the peasants in Alantaung.
They are trying to create the ins-
preston that the revolt has been
ended through this move, but the
fact is that it is constantly spreading
until whole villages are taking part
in the uprising.
Sharp fighting is going on in many
districts, showing the militant spirit
of the agricultural workers and pea
SAINTS, who, rather than face starva-
ton, have taken up arms against
their masters, native and British.

Victims of Hague Trick Jailed.
While the sole shoe men were
jifnmying the front door of the store,
Hague ran towards them from his
hiding place in a hallway directly
across the street and. surrounded by
the dozen cops, bravely arrested the
dumbfounded New Workers. At the
ensuing trial, the leader of the gang
was strangely missing. but the VIC

20 Pits Out In Ruhr.
(CabIe By InpPecOYr.)

BERLIN, JAN. 2.--MinerS in % pits
in the Recklirghausen districts of the
Ruhr mine region went out on strike
today under revolutionary union lead
erstip. The reforrnist rnisleaders are
nervous, fearing the strike movement
will spread to embrace the 100000
miners who have suffered wage-cuts.
The mine owners are insisting on a
IL per cent cut, while the reforrnistS,
who oppose the strike and are trust
ing to arbitration, favor a per cent
Wage-cut.
The capitalist press here reports
that 10 per cent, or about 10000, Of
the miners are out on strike already
under revolutionary leadership. The
boss press complains that the devel-
oping strike situation in the Ruhr
mines will prevent the mining indus
try from exploiting the South Wales
strike to the advantage Of the Ger
man mine bosses.
The revolutionary central commit
tee of action in the Ruf1r coal fields
has issued an. appeal to the miners
to extend the strike front throughout
the Ruhr. The unemployed, under
red leadership, are lining up with the
strikers.

1t was revealed in Berlin that the
Christmas celebration in the Celle
prison was broken up amidst great

that the teachings of Christ we're

teachings Of Luxembourg and Lieb-

nantly denied this and proceeded to
a TRADE against Liebknecht and Lux

in body and shouted down the dir
ector. The celebration stopped and
the prisoners we're led back to their
cells.
SHANGHAI. - Despite the fierce
police terror, meetings and demon

quarters of Shanghai on the ami

police attacked the demonstrations
with great brutality and made many

sary, martial law had been pro-
claimed over the town
Similar scenes occurred in Picking
