Poland lives as on a volcano. The workers
struggles are becoming keener, going over from
defensive into an offensive. The clashes be-
tween the workers and the police in strikes and
especially the struggles Of the unemployed, are
more and more frequent. 1t Is no exaggeratlon
to say that In number and n1ilitancy of unem-
pIoyed, struggles, Poland surpasses all other
European countries
simultaneously revolutionary actions are
growing on the part Of the farmers against the
fascist tax policy (tax strikes and especially
against the agrarian policy of fascism Git is
characteristic that Pilsudsh was forced to issue
an order that the land surveyors should be
escorted by the police when they go to the VII
lagos to survey and measure the land). Besides
these, are the mass actions like the firing of
properties in West Ukrair,n and the militant
tax strikes in West Whits ADsia.
As response to this, 0oo are being already
noticed the symptoms Of revolutionary spirit
and resistance in the army. For instance, the
fact that the soldiers took sides with the TN
employed against the police in zaviertle; the
fact that soldiers defended workers demonstra-
tions against fascist bands in Fabianitz and
Minsk Maczovietzky; mass distribution of the
Communist military paper "Kashari" (Armory)
in the arnnories; resistance to the bad food and
iil-treatment in the army; the singing of the
"InternAtionale' by recruits on the Warsaw
wilma road, ETC., etc.
The bourgeoisie OF Poland and its fascist die
tAtorship is looking for an outlet Of the situa-
tion-in war against the Soviet Union, In ex-
pansion to the East. Hence the feverish war
preparations in Poland.
Ont and only one industry is flourishing in
Poland and is working overtime in the present
hard crisis, and that is: the war industry. Be-
sides this. large amounts of ammunition, war
instruments, warships and other war materials.

Question-Where can 1 get those books that
COmrade Foster wrote about in last Saturdays
(Jan. 1877 Daily, and how much?-J. B.
The books were: Labor and Textiles by Dunn
and Hardy; Labor and Coal, by Rochester; La
Dor and Lumber, by Todes; Labor and Automo-
biles. by Dunn, and Labor and Silk, by Hutchins.

49, Station D. New York City oheir bookstore
is located at so E 18th st. in New York;. Each
book costs 81. These books are loaded with facts
which each worker should know.
Question-Do you really mean to fight for
immediate relief and unemployment insurance,
or is this just bait to get workers interested in
Communism?-W. C..
The actions of the Communists speak for
themselves. Communists, working day and night,
under great difficulties being beaten up or sent
to Jail for fighting for relief show in action what
the whole working class must do to lessen its
sufferings under capitalism Anyone who thinks
this is bait does not understand Communism or
it principles, Communists are the most fearless
and disciplined fighters, the vanguard of the
working class, whose only interests are those of
the toilers.
Whether we get unemployment insurance de-
ponds upon the struggle put up by the working
class. Workers will get nothing unless they
fight for it; that is the way we got what little
relief we already have. That the workers of
England and Germany have unemployment in
surance proves that the capitalist governments
can be compelled to give it, And all must .ad-
NIT that Communists are the only ones really
fighting for relief and unemployment insurance
The Communists fight for these demands right
now, and this is but part of the greater fight
finally to establish workers. and farmers gov
eminent which will build socialist society
Question-What is the Corintern? Has each
country separate Comintern?-A Daily Worker

umn questions which are sent in to its Work
ers Correspondence Department.

Question-How would it be possible for the
Daily Worker to come out every day with six
pages?-E. F.
This would add about 500 a day to our ex-
penses. If we could pay off the deficit which
exists, this would make possible "a six-page
paper. AS it is we have hard time financially
getting out the four-page paper. The $4,000

If we want to keep our Daily and want six

Grating extenuating circumstances
in the closure of Catholic clubs in

Among the causes determining

"was the intention of preventing at

clubs in an effort to prevent out
bursts, not alone against the pope,
but against the king"
From our investigation, 1t has
been confirmed that the provision
closing all Catholic young mems
clubs was not a formal application
Of the decree recently issued, but
only a police measure. The police
said some clubs had been closed
only few days. In others. docu-

BAKERS JURY
PENALTY RULE
TO HIGH COURT
RetriaI Refused Man Given
Extra Year Because He
Exercised Rights.
HOLMES WILL APPEAL
Attorney Contends JuriSt
Violated Constitution
by His Decree.

His first appeal for a retrial meet
ing with defeat today, John Perkins,
20, of Carmel, who was given an
additional year in prison because he
demanded a jury in his criminal
court robbery trial, prepared an ap-
peal to the state supreme court.
Through his attorney, Ira M.
Holmes, Perkins fled a motion for
new trial before Criminal Judge
Frank P. Baker, in which it was
charged the court violated Perkins
constitutional rights, asserting he
had sentenced Perkins to eleven
years for his jury demand, instead
Of the ten he would have received
on a guilty plea.
The motion set out that it is the
privilege Of citizen of the United
States to receive a jury trial on re-
quest. Maurice Parton, companion
of Perkins, who confessed his part
in the robbery, was sentenced to ten
years in prison.
OverTules Trial Motion
Baker overruIed the new trial
motion and Holmes announced he
planned to perfect the high court
appeal within ten days. Sixty days
are given the defense under the law
to carry the case to the high court.
The motion also charged that
Baker erred when he asserted in
open court, when passing sentence,
that he had given Perkins the ex-
ira year because Of the jury trial
demand.
Following his decision in the case,
Judge Baker announced a week ago
that he had not increased the pen
atty, but merely was giving lighter
sentences to persons who plead
guilty in his court"
Kidnapping Was Charged
Perkins is alleged to have kid
naped James j. Coyne of 1921 Fin
ley avenue, March "a, and robbed
him of $40.
Judge Baker, who has adhered to
a policy OF "strict and speedy jus
tice," previously has declared:
This court gives consideration to
defendants who plead guilty, but
will not be easy On those taking the
courts time by asking for juries."

fenced him to ten years in the state

and then freeing him with his
money when he pleaded it must buy
food for two youngsters at home,
Jones and a companion entered the
home of Miss Edith Coleman, 129
North Liberty street. the night of
May 13.
With q gun they sought to force
their attentions on Miss Coleman,
but she took the weapon from them
and shot Jones in the leg as he
ran.
Everett Boyer, 26, was given
similar sentence by Judge Baker to-
day on a robbery charge.
