NEW YORK, May s--Four women
and two men were arrested on charges
of disorderly conduct when forty.

reau, at Spring and Elizabeth SITS.
seeking air, on Thursday, May 5th.
The workers went with Mrs. Eisen-
berg, of 100 Avenue D, who was starv-
ing and had received a dispossess no.
tice from the landlord. In order to
intimidate the workers, the bureau
ruled that the workers stand in line
and enter one at time. The work
ers refused to do this and entered
the bureau in body. The woman
was denied any relief.
The workers came down to the
street and started a meeting to ex-
pose the fake Home Relief Bureau.
The cops, seven or eight in number,
who were at the Bureau, came down
and beat up the workers, arresting
six.
The six workers, who were mem
ebrs of the Downtown Unemployed
Council, we're in jail two days be-
fore their case came up Saturday be-
fore Magistrate Harris in Tombs
Court.
At the hearing, the workers tried to
expose the ways the cops beat them
and the language they used, but the
magistrate refused to hear their evi-
dence. He remarked: II wouldn't
believe any of these defendants. The
police had no movtive not to tell the
truth, but the defendants did have.

half-baked and should be spanked"
The other workers were Joan Reed.

born in the United States.
The workers, with the exception
of Mrs. Eisenberg, were sentenced two

BY i'll,
While the pacifists and socialists
we're going into Mysteries over
the glories of the Kellogg Peace
Pact the Department of War was
feverishly at work on mobilization
plan which could set moving the
vast machinery of war in a day.
The plan ranges from the ordinary
drafting of the youth of the coun-
try to the getting of the tin metals
on the end of the prospective SOL
diers' shoestring. The Daily Worker
recently told of how the industry
will be modified for war. Here we
will discuss the mobilization of the
soldiers. Most of the material we
use is taken from the 1881 report of
the Secretary of War.
Immediately after the outbreak of
war the President will of course use
all his powers to create tight or
ganization to run the country.
Workingclass organizations will be
suppressed. A military dictatorship
will actually rule. Congress will
pass a selective service act even be-
fore the first day of the nobiliza-
ton. Five thousands local boards
thruout the country will start to
select men. Men between the ages
of 18-45. There are to be no ex-
emptions.
This is specific point in The
plans of the War Department. But
if anyone thinks that by this point
the rich will be forced to give up
their lives and the lives of their chill
dren they are mistaken. Chief of
Staff Macarthur who prepared the
report stated quite plainly: Much
has been said on the subject of
equalizing the burden of war. All
statements on the subject must refer
to burdens other than those incident
to death and disability, for these
can never be equalized."
What does this mean? Another
point explains. Deferments will be
made on draft (among others to
those whose Importance to the ma
ton of the service they are render
ing in civilian life" Henry Ford Jr.
will not go to war. He must watch
the workers turn out tanks for muir
der. Henry Murphy Jr., one of those
who shaved in Ford's factory and
now starves will go to war.
But maybe Henry Murphy Jr.
figures he will be able to get a job
when the slaughter begins. Then
let him forget that. He is young.
The army needs youth And after
all his going to death will not en-
barrass the war machine. The IS
year old man or maybe even woman
will take the place at the belt.
To great extent the army of
the war now coming out of the shell

Social Fascists Hide
Fact of NY. May Day
Rally Being Communist

The social-fascists adorn them
selves with communist feathers by
publishing, on May 4, in the Volks-
zeitung, picture of the communist
demonstration, with the misleading
caption:
I'm spite Of the heavy rain, the
New York workers had assembled in
enormous masses for the demonstra-
ton, the passing of which took more
than three hours. Transparents, red
flags and the above devouring dragon
of Capitalism were carried through
the streets in this imposing parade. ="
Carefully hidden are the facts that
this was on Sunday, May /, and that
this was the demonstration of the
Communists, while the social-fascists
had demonstrated already on Satur-
day, when there was no rain.
This is a conscious swindle to mis-
lead especially the readers out of
town into the belief that this had
been the parade of the social-fascists,
who, 'in spite of the heavy rain, -
courag eously-stayed at home, and
for whom it had been very conve-
nient to construct the dragno, which
is shown with pride in the picture,
while in fact the Communists alone
sacrificed money and time for this
showpiece.
The Social-fascists are quite right.
the workers demonstration took place
on Sunday. They are quite right if
they consider their own demonstra-
ton on Saturday bourgeois affair,

Workers
In Bronx Decide
To Join the TUUL

NEW YORK-For many years the
laundry workers in the Bronx were
dominated by the underworld and
racketeers. Several months ago the
laundry workers revolted against this
domination, cleared their ranks of
gangsters and established an indie
pendent union based on a militant
program of action. The union con-
tinued to grow and develop and has
already led many strike struggles
They began to realize that they
must affiliate with one of the two
main streams in the trade union
movement. With this purpose in
mind the Executive Committee sent
out letters to the A. F. of L. and the
T. U. U L inviting speakers to their
membership meeting to discuss afil-
iation The meeting took place Fri
day night at Ambassador Hall, which
was packed to capacity.
The A. F. of L. representative failed
to appear. The T. U. U. L. represen-
tative was John Steuben, who pre-
sented the policy and program of the
T. U. U. L. as well as the history of
the r. U. U. L. When Steuben fin
ished his report there was strong
applause and discussion from the
floor followed, in which both Negro
and white workers participated.
The president OF the union said
that he is a democrat for the last
nine years, that previously he has
been opposed to any affiliations, but
for the past several months he has
learned about the T. U. U. L. and its
policies and is Fundamentally for
af1hation with the T. U. U. L.
A Negro worker took the floor and
urged afiliation with the T. U. U. L.
on the ground that the T. U. y. L. is
the only union which fights for the
rights Of the Negro equally with those
Of the white workers. The vote was
finally taken. and it was unanimous
for affihation with the T. U. U. L.
The meeting was full of enthusiasm.
Steuben made the final speech well
coming the workers into the T. U. U.
L., pledging full cooperation and sup
port in building a strong union of
foundry workers throughout New
York

POLICE CENSOR
ANTI-WAR FILM
Iannons and Tractors
Stopped in Newark

NEWARK, N. 1.-THE police Sun
lay, working hand in glove with their
masters, the Wall Street war makers,
Illegally censored and suppressed the
nti-war film "Cannons and Trac-
ors' which was to be shown here by
he Workers International Relief.
When the doors of the hall opened
" the first showing of the picture
ne police threw a strong guard all
tlong the street. Over 1900 workers
eho came to see the film were denied
dmittance by the police.
The crowd, however, did not dis
srse, but stood for hours in front
the hall in protest against the
censorship. Mass organizations and
mions in Newark are arranging pro-
est meetings to demand that the
insorship be removed from the film
that the workers of New Jersey
learn the truth about the Wall
rect governments war preparations

Forward to the Election Driue
of the Communist Party in NY

On May 22nd there will be held
at Stuyvesant Casino the City Elec-
ton Conference Of the Communist
Party. This conference is not an
ordinary conference. 1t will be a
mobilization of all the revolutionary
and militant organizations in New
York which must elect their delegates
TO this conference.
The election campaign this year is
OF tremendous significance. National
and state elections will take place
and are occurring at a time of the
sharpest struggle of the workers
against hunger and wage cuts, of the
sharpest attacks upon the workers
and the most feverish preparations
for imperiailst war. The Soviet gov
eminent warns the workers today
that Not far from the Soviet Dor
der, we see the flashes Of war"
Therefore the City Election Con-
ference, as the opening gun in the
battle Of the workers against the
bosses on the election field, must have
representation from shops of the war
industries-metal, transport, chemi-
cal, marine: from every shop in which
there is militant worker, we must
gather the workers together and elect
delegates to the conference; from
every revolutionary union, league and
shop group Of the Trade Union Unity
League; from every local of the
American Federation of Labor where
there are militant workers, and from
groups of workers of the ALL and
reactionary unions where, owing to
the treachery of the officials, locals
cannot be induced to send official
delegates; from every Negro organiza-
ton that can be reached and for
whom Scottsboro and the starvation
of the workers are becoming living
issues; from every organization and
group of young workers who face the
narrowing effects of starvation and
represent the first to be enlisted for
war; from every fraternal and mass
organization; from the Latin-Amer-
lean and other foreign-born organ
i5ations whose members face the at
tacks of the immigration authorities
for their militancy,
This conference can and must be
means Of launching, on the basis of
the broadcast united front, the Elec-
ton Campaign of the Communist
Party as the leader of the working
class in at its struggles, This con-
ference will also elect the delegates
to educational Nominating Conven-
ton of the Communist Party which
will be held in Chicago on May 18th
md 18th and which will be attended
~ a minimum Of 1000 delegates.
In the campaign thus far, the Trade
Union Unity Council and the revolu-
ionary unions have not shown the
proper interest. The Trade Union
Unity Council has as yet failed to
participate in the preliminary ar
engagements and has not taken any
steps to mobilize the unions for this
most important activity. Politics and
Economics are not two separate
things, but are closely linked up as
Inc workers in strike struggles and
Unemployment demonstrations know

There remains only one consola-

worse, gets the SCHOLARSHIPS so on
