Vet Scores Legion
Secret Six" Move


Daily Worker:
+ I have been a member of Elgin
Post 1877 Of the American Legion for
many years, but if they continue like

.ANTI-WAR MEET
in BOSTON TONITE
Workers Bre a k Up
Anti-Soviet Meet

BOSTON, Mass, July 5.-Boston
workers will answer with a giant
anti-war demonstration on July s the
vicious propaganda of the Boston
Anti-Communist League for armed
Intervention against the Soviet Un-
ion.
At meeting last Friday of this
new fascist organization, the motor
ious Daniel j. HALEY, working
class spy and stool pigeon and head
of the Boston Secret Service, was the
main speaker. This scoundrel, after
ballyhooing about the non-existent
prosperity and freedom under the
U. S. hunger government, declared:
when the hour strikes, all true
American citizens must even Shout
der arms against Russia, if called
upon to do So"
This attempt to incite another
bloody world slaughter and an at
tack on workers Russia was met by
boots and jeers from the workers.
A war veteran shouted: I'VE want
the Bonu-not WAR;" Others
shouted: How about jobsp" The
meeting then ended abruptly amid
the jeers of the workers who showed
such great nilitancy that the dicks
present did not dare molest them.
The workers left the hall singing the.
"Internationale." =,
The Boston branch of the Friends
of the Soviet Union has arranged the
mass meeting for Wednesday night,
July 6, at Franklin Union Hall, Berk-
ley and Appelton Streets, as part of
its campaign to combat the lies and
war Indictment against the Soviet
Union.
Santo Merabile, a member of the
American workers delegation to the
Soviet Union will report on the gi-
gantic achievents Of the Soviet Un-.;

called by the Communist Party at
albany and Roosevelt. From there
the workers, about five hundred,
marched to the Cant home, and
there drew nearly every one living
in the block, men, women and chill
dren.
When the police arrived, they tried
to drive the crowd away. A precinct
captain was seen handing out black
jacks to two or three hoodlums. But
the Communist speaker called for an
expression Of unity of Negro and
white, which was expressed by shouts
and handclapping. Stopped by this
militancy, the police and gangsters
decided not to interfere further.
Fellow worker Cant joined the
Communist Party.
Thus has been shown once again
how the Communist Party, the
Party Of the working class, leads
and unites the workers Of all COL
ors and all creeds. Thus has been
proven once again that the Com
munist Party is party of deeds
as well as words. Thus the Com
munist Party has .iown what it
means by plank no. 4 in its 1882
election platform, equal rights for
the Negroes and self determination
for the black belt!

Communists Demand "No Child
Labor"
In opposition to the hypocritical
Child Labor" plank of the Socialist
Party, the Young Communist League,
fully supporting the election demands
and candidates of the Communist
Party, comes to the working youth of
this country with the demand for
"Ihe abolition of child labor under
ID; government support for all chill
dren now working and for all chill
dren Of the unemployed"
Going into full swing in the nation
wide campaign to rally the young
workers, farmers and students behind
the election campaign of the Com
munist Party, the Young Commun-
list League is touring two Of its lead
ing members, Tony Minerich and
Mary Himoff.
Minerich's tour will officially open
at Cleveland on July 23rd, the date
on which the Young Peoples Social
ist League will hold their conven-
ton. A mass meeting is being ar
ranged at which the young Socialist
leaders will be challenged to defend
their position before the young work.
ers of Cleveland.
Prepare for August LIST.
While Minerich, who is former
young miner and leader of many big
strike struggles in that industry is
touring the eastern section Of the
country, Mary Himoff will start her
tour in Chicago at joint mass meet
ing at which both will speak. She
will also issue a challenge to the
leaders of the Young Peoples Social
list League in Milwaukee to defend
their betrayals of the young workers
i'll open debate.
Both tours will also be used as
high points in mobilizing the masses
OF young workers for struggle against
imperialist war and for defense of
the Soviet Unions Especially with
the approach of August 1, the day
on which the last war was declared
will the tours serve to stimulate the
youth into militant mass actions
against the criminal aid given by
Wall st. to the murderous campaign
of the japanese irnperialists against
the Chinese people, and the ever
more insolentN provocations against
the Soviet Union.

They tell the mothers that one can

Fer many years engineers, machin-
lists and skilled workers in the Gen.
eral Electric Works worked and saved.
They built little homes and saved
against that rainy day." Four years
ago the G. E. began to lay of. Two
years ago only half the workers were
employed, and today thousands of
skilled workers are living on the last
of their savings with no idea Of what
they will do when everything is gone.
Hundreds have moved away in the
vain hope of finding jobs elsewhere.
Hundreds Of families have doubled
up to save rent and light.
Hundreds of American skilled ma
chinists are losing their little homes
through foreclosures; their savings
are gone; they are turning to the city
for relief. The city welfare depart
ment is wise enough to give them a
little relief to keep them from joining
the unskilled workers and laborers
in the struggle to keep alive. But the
few dollars some of them receive is
not enough, and the result is that
these American workers, who are told
to keep away from the foreign born,
will more and more throw in their
lot with the unemployed masses in
the city.

Schenectady is a typical American
city of typical American traditions

and thrift would secure them against

paternaism of the two big industries
of the city, General Electric and the
American Locomotive Works.
They believed in what Mr.. Hoover
calls rugged individualism."
They believed in the chicken in
the pot and the car in the garage"
Three years of depression is fast
undermining these cherished beliefs.

st. George Ferry Terminal as he was
alighting from train filled with
other Italians returning from a stormy
commemoration Of Giuseppe Carl
baldi in Rosebank. He was shot In
the back of his head with a 80 cal

The murder is an aftermath of two
clashes between anti-fascist workers
misled by Carlo Tresca. anarcl1is:
adventurer, and members Of the
Grand Lodge of the Sons Of Italy
This is mass organization compris-
ing several thousand workers, but is
led by Italian American fascists.
Carlo Tresca and Gerolamo VAL

Italian social-fiscist paper printed
here, organized demonstration to
commemorate Garibaldi at the home
where he lived while in the United
States. Garibaldi was a factor in
tho war for the ratification Of Italy

Italy had also organized CONNIE

where Garibaldi lived.
Poisoned by the nischievous pro-
paganda OF their leaders, the anti
fascist workers and the workers be-
longing to the Lodge Of the Sons OF
Italy fought against each other.
Many were wounded and had to be
taken to the Hospital. 80 were ar

Carlo Tresca and the other social
fascists claimed that the Sons Of Italy

anese imperialism to establish dollar
control over China. 1t accused the
U. S. government of inspiring the
Nanfing Government to resist the
Japanese seizure Of Chinese customs
revenues at Dairen and Antung and
other Manchurian cities.
The Open Letter. which was pub
lished in all the Japanese bourgeois
papers, intinated that Wall Street
competition and opposition to Japan's
aims in China would be met with an
open declaration of war against
China, thus facing the United States
witha definite choice of abandoning
its loot in China or going to war with
Japan. 1t justifies the Japanese
seizure of Mancf1uria by drawing a
comparison with the robber act of the
United States in wrestling the Pan
ANA Canal territory from Colombia
and setting up an American puppet
government in Panama.
Recognize Puppet State ,.-
Count Uchida, the new Japanese
Foreign Minister who assumed his
duties yesterday, is reported preparing
a statement in which he will an
nounce his intentions to recognize the
Manchuria puppet state.
Sir Francis Lindley, British Am
bassador to Japan, is reported to have
advised the Japanese Government
against haste" in recognizing the
puppet government. The British,
who have consistently supported the
japanese aggressions against China,
have expressed alarm that hasty &C
ton by the Japanese might further
aggravate the struggle between the
imperialist powers Tor the lions share
in the looting and partition OF China.
