Frackville Police Fail
to Stop 'Daily" Sales
In Front of Shirt Co.
Frackville, Pa.

FTdckVllle, ia,
Daily Worker:
The bosses of the H. D. Boy Shirt
Co. with the aid of the police are
trying to stop the Young Workers
from selling Daily Workers in front
of the factories.
A few weeks ago a young worker
was stopped by the Boss, Mr., Peters
and an agent from the police. They
started to question him. The boss
wanted to know who had given the
information to the Daily concerning
the conditions in the shop. They
also asked a couple of stupid ques-
tions such as what flag we believed
in, etc. The worker refused to be
inundated despite the offerings of
the boss and the police who prom
ised the young worker a job, and try
to tell him lies about the Communist
Party. The fact that the worker re-
fused to concede to the boss an
gered both the police and Peters.
The justice of the police decided
that all workers who sell Dailies in
front of the factory should be brought
up on a charge Of disorderly conduct.
The young worker was the first to
be brought UP on this charge.

GADARPARTY FOR
ARMED STRUGGLE
TO FREE INDIA
Call On Masses Drive
Out Imperialists

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf. (By MaiD
The Hindustan Gadar Party, which
struggles for Indian independence
among the Indian people in the
United States, has issued a poster ex-
posing the murder of Raj Guru, Bha-
gat Sing and Sukh Dev, Indian rev.
oIutionists executed by tho Mac
Donald government.
The poster, which contains photo
graphs of these three Indian revolu-
tionists who were first tortured and
then hung by British imperialism, is
headed: Message Of the Martyrs! A
Call to Arms!"
The poster goes on to say: eff we
really want to put an end to these
dastardly outrages to humanity at
large to Indian man and woman
hood in particular, if we have the
least desire to see our motherIand
freed from the bloody foreign yoke,
there is only one way left to us. 1t
is to wake up and hearken to the
clear and unmistakeable clarion call
Of the martyrs-A Call to Arms, a
call to shake off Incidence and cow
ardice, a call to come to close grips
with British imperialism and drive
it to the wall at the sharp point of
the sword; a call to live like free
men or perish in the struggle of free
dom, because heroic death is far,
far better than the life of slave.
Long live Bhagat Singh, Raj
Guru, Sukh Dew and other martyrs
to the sacred cause Of Indian indie

1900 DEMAND
KASSAY RELEASE

Legal Lynching

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April ia
militant meeting was held here last
night under the auspices of the In
ternational Labor Defense, to protest
the arrest of Paul KaSsay, a Hun
garian worker, who was framed up
by the Rubber barons of Akron, Ohio
to facilitate their wage cuts in the
mills.
Over 1900 workers cheered the
speakers, and stood up for several
minutes greeting Kassay as he rose
to speak. All workers joined in the
singing of the International.
A resolution condemning this latest
frame up on foreign born worker
and demanded his immediate and I'M
conditional release was unanimously
adopted. The workers pledged them
selves to carry ON struggle for the
repeal of the criminal syndicalist law
which is menace to organized labor,
and to participate in the campaign
to secure signatures on the petition
lists to demand amnesty for all work
ers imprisoned. Support was pledged
to the May Day demonstrations
against the boss hunger system. An
other resolution was adopted con-
demning lynching and demanding the
death penalty for the lynchers. Copy
of these resolutions were sent to the
authorities.
A wire was sent to comrade William
Montgomery Brown, wishing for him
speedy recovery so that he could ir
the near future participate in work
ing class activities.
Despite the terrible unemployment
situation that is existing in this city
the workers at the meeting donated
to the Kassay case $15185 which is
an indication that they will continue
to not only make financial sacrifices
but that they will organize and fight
the terror of the boss class.

BULGARIAN KIN 6
GETS Glib PENSION
Communist Deputy
Hits Payment

BERLIN.-The revelations made by
the Communist deputy Kippenberger
during the debate on the ReichsWehr
Budget that the eX-King of Bulgaria
Ferdinand still receives a humping
pension from the German government
has created an international sensation.
Kippenberger's revelations showed
that in 1915 King Ferdinand sold his
country to inperialist Germany in re-
turn for a sum Of 25 million marks.
After the war Ferdinand received an
annual pension of 100000 marks from
the German government, and this
pension was later increased to 10000
marks year.
In a recent session of the Reich
stag the Communist deputy Torgler
demanded that the government should
make a statement concerning Kip
penberger's revelations. He also read
a confidential letter written by the
Reich's finance minister on the 9Th
March 1881 to the secretary of state
DR.. MeisSner acknowledging a receipt
forwarded by DR.. Meissner according
to which general Gantchev Ger
dinand's go-between) received a check
for 100000 marks on the 25th Feb.
1881. This letter shows that at a
time when the Bruening government
is making ruthless cuts in all social
services, forcing down wages, and
overburdening the masses wit h
new taxes, it still has large sums to
ex-royalties.

There was a constable sale at Riv-

sale was Weidner of the 18th Ward
and Constable Wolf. Well, the I'M
employed workers of Reading num-
bering about 25 comrades because
the worker who was to be evicted
gave us Just about half an hours
notice. Therefore we could not wait
for the meeting and all of us in the
hall went right out. The constable
had just started the sale when we
arrived
We stopped the sale, saying It was
a public sale and we had the right to
buy furniture, to which the constable
refused, and called a cop. The cop
and the constable went out and
called the city hall, thinking that
they could scare us with their clubs
and bullets.
Even the bosses papers here in
town had to admit that there
wasn't a man in the police depart

because they are yellow. There
were so many dicks around the

the workers weren't scared. This
is to show how brave the cops of

BOSSES HIRE
FLOGGERS IN FLA.
Flourishing Busin ess
Back of Brutality

CLEARWATER, Fla, April T.
Sheriff Roy Booth claims to be in
possession of evidence which directly
connects some of the big bosses of
West Florida with the wave Of flog-
gings and unsolved Sayings which
have recently taken place.
The sheriff contends that profess
sional floggers were for hire by any
one who had the price. The alleged
investigation which brought into light
the evidence took place after r. w.
oxford, an automobile mechanic, had
been whipped almost to death be-
cause of his agitation against the at
tack of the bosses upon the stand
ards of living of the workers.
But undoubtedly the sheriff would
never have carried forward his in
veStigation if those bosses now I'M
plicated had been behind him. Such
Investigations take place only when
the pressure of the masses growing
more and more restless under in
creasing exploitation and oppression
forces it, or when there is falling
OUT among the leading capitalist
politicians and their henchmen.
This investigation will not bring an
end to lynching, floggings, and muir
ders in Florida or elsewhere. That
end is obtainable only upon an in
vestigation carried forward by the
workers and their revolutionary lead
erShip. The greatest sufferers are, OF
course, the degraded and inhumanly
exploited Negro workers.
Five prominent men and woman
have been arrested. Other arrests

There was a worker who only
weighed about 125 pounds. This
worker was standing with the rest of
us when the constable gave orders
that all furniture that was sold must
be moved at once. We had bought
the furniture and so this worker and
two others were going to take their
goods and not let them out of the
house because they had given it to
the man who occupied the house.
One thing they had was rug which
we wanted to take because a cop
was standing on it. The cop refused
to get off and we pulled one and
the cops grabbed this boy.
That was the beginning Of the
fight. Soon there was a crowd of
yellow cops that came in the house
and tried to push us around till one
worker told the cop that if he pushed
him again he would push in his
stomach.
At any rate the sale did not go
on, as the papers stated it did. The
worker still has his furniture and
the workers did not leave until
they saw he had it.
This is the story of one case.
There will be more fighting to be
done. We had four arrested, but
we formed a committee of a hun
dred and made the constable take
back the charges by picketing his
house.
The socialist party betrays the
workers, so come along workers and
fight like hell for your rights and
join the unemployed council. Show
the so-called socialists that you have
red blood, not yellow.

BRUNSWICK RED
ELECTION RALLY
Wednesday oShow Up
Wage Cuts, Starvation

NEW BRUNSWICK, April 12.-
Among the many issues confronting
the workers of this city in the COM
ing city elections are the conditions
Of the women workers in the fac
tories.
In the General Cigar, D. F. Kline,
Johnson g. johnson, Needle Trades
and Unger Box and other factories
employing women the conditions are
unbearable. The women get wages
of between So and 10 a week, in a
few cases a little more. Most of
these women are the sole support of
their families. In the General Cigar
factory, where many women and
young girls work, the health of the
workers is ruined. Workers faint
every day in the shop. With a few
years work in the General Cigar the
workers get consumption and other
diseases.
The bosses themselves admit that
so per cent of the workers in New
Brunswick are women. The women
workers are forced to do the work
done before by men for half the
wages. On account of such condi-
lions the men workers are forced to
work for lower and lower wages, be-
ing always told by the bosses that
eve can get women to do your work
for lower wages" The only solution
for the workers is for both men and
women to unite in the fight against
wae-cuts, demanding that women
workers get equal pay as men for
doing equal work. All candidates for
Commissioners except the Commu-
mist candidates ignore the conditions
of the women workers in this cleo
ton.
In order to learn how to fight these
conditions all workers must attend
the election rallies held each week at
the corner of New and French SITS.
Two workers candidates for City
Commissioners. one woman a cigy
worker and one man worker, have
already filed petitions for this office.
These workers are endorsed by the
Communist Party and are pledged to
carry out the program of the Com
rnunist Party, which include among
its demands the following:
i. Immediate unemployment re-
lief.
2. Equal pay for equal work for
all workers.
3. Special protection for women
workers in the shop.
A. Free milk and food in school
for the children of the unemployed.
5. Lower rents.
| 6. Old enough to work, old enough,
to vote. The right of young workers
TO vote.
