WALKER ADMITS
WOMAN GOT CASH
Growing S C a n d a |
Shows He'll Be
Sacrificed

ALBANY, NJ Y, Aug. 16.-Mayor
Walker admitted today that he did
give $500 of the $4,000 he is ac-
cused of having squandered on a
movie actress, whose name all con-
cerned seem to be in a conspiracy to
keep secret. The $1,000 was paid in
a check out of quarter of a mil
lion dollars the publisher Paul Block
donated to Walker as a "beneficence."
Walker still denies that he kept this
woman on graft money, handled by
Sherwood. The Seabury investiga-
ton records show that Sherwood
turned over to her $4,000.
Walkers affair with the woman
has been common gossip in New York
for the last three years. One of the
reporters, during a recess, tried to
get the mayor to admit it.
"Is it Betty Compton," he asked.
''Who do you suppose 1t WASP" was
the retort of the se-cracking
mayor. And he repeated this when
Governor Roosevelt asked in the
open hearing whether Walker had
admitted that it was Betty Compton.
The fact that this much scandal
had been allowed to come out indi-
Gates that Tammany is ready to play
with Roosevelt and sacrifice Walker.
The graft and scandal is necessary
accompaniment of the present rotten
capitalist system, which both Walker
and Roosevelt support.

In NY. Friday Mite
To Protest Terror in
Germany and us.

NEW YORK. - AS the establish
ment Of a Hitler fascist dictatorship
in Germany doomed ever nearer in
dispatches today, an urgent call was
issued to all workers to attend the
protest meeting arranged by the Com
munist Party, New York District, for
Friday night at the Central Opera
House, 67th Street and Third Avenue.
A Hitler dictatorship in Germany
would mean sharper boss terror
against the workers all over the world
and immediate war, especially war
against the Soviet Union.
Fridays meeting will therefore be
a mass demonstration of solidarity
with the German workers fighting
under the leadership of the Commu-
mist Party against the fascist Of
fensive carried out by Won Papen
and the threatened Hitler fascist die
tatorship.
All workers are called upon to at
tend this important protest meeting
which will also be a united front
demonstration against capitalist re-
action in the United States.
William Weinstone, editor of the
Daily Worker and candidate for the
United States Senate on the Commu-
mist ticket. and Max Bedacht will
speak at the meeting. Comrade Be-
dacht will speak in German.

FORD URGES TIN
PLATE WORKERS
TO FIGHT CUTS
"Oust Company Owned
Mayor, He Tells
McKeesport Crowd

McKEESPORT, Pa, Aug. 16.-Con-
tinuing his Communist election cam
paign, which is also a campaign here
for organization of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union and
for the hunger march on Pittsburgh,
Aug. 81, James w. Ford spoke to 600
steel workers at the river front here
yesterday.
McKeesport is the city where last
year thousands of workers poured
cut and broke terror which had
prohibited meetings for years.
City of Jobless
But it is town of wage cuts and
unemployment. The Mckeesport Tin
Plate Mill, the largest in the world,
has made total of three cuts since
Oct. l, last year. The latest is IL per
cent. Each cut was followed by an
increase of terror inside the mill.
Now the workers are not even allowed
to talk to one another.
The National Tube mill here also
has cut wages, and inside it is like
a prison. Also Negro and single I'M
employed are Disseminated against
when any relief is given.
The National Tube is secretly man
ufacturing war munitions in Christy
Park and Versailles, Pa.
The stagger system is used gen.
orally in, these mills.
The companies cwn the town and
Mayor Lysle. The National Tube
sends machines to the workers homes
to compel them to vote for Lysle.
IF the steel workers want to live,
they will have to struggle" said
Ford. He called on them to vote
Communist, to turn out such admin
istrations as Lysle's and Hoover's,
for Hoover is back of the wage cuts
Those at the meeting eagerly
bought the Communist election plat
form and pamphlets, spending their
last pennies for the min many cases.

ANTI-JOBLESS COX
MEET CONVENES

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Aug. 1e.-The
Father Cox" blue shirt fascist con-
vention is now approved by the
health authorities here. The county
officials, learning to their disgust
that the attendance was to be but
a fraction of the $4,000 delegates
first promised by Cox, and HIS
doubtful ally, Coin" Harry, seem at
first to have had the idea of pro-
hibiting the gathering altogether in
order not to show up the fraud. The
Blue Shirts then could have a good
demagogic excuse for the flop here.
and could have gone right ahead at
lacking workers meetings.
But today, with a few hundred in
the Cox attachments on the way,
and about hundred already here,
the county gave its consent to the
assemblage in Creve Occur Speedway,
Is miles west of st. Louis.

Prosecute Negroes,
War Veterans

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 16.-A
tense situation exists here as the au-
thorities continue to push their
frame-up of the nine arrested Negro
workers charged with the killing of
the park policeman, Kennedy, and
of Bullock, another Negro worker
picked up on suspicion" in the kill
ing of Policeman Shinault, who bru-
tally murdered the war veteran,
Hushka. The capitalist press con-
tinues its sinister attempts to work
up Iynching atmosphere and mob
violence against the Negro masses
The washington courts have de-
MED the habeas corpus proceedings by
the International Labor Defense at
torneys for the release of Sanders, a
war veteran, who was kidnapped in
Virginia and is held in the District
of Columbia as fugitive from Flod-
ida, despite the fact that there is
no warrant for his extradition.
Everything points to direct orders
from the Hoover government for the
terror against the Negro workers
here.
The International Labor Defense,
whose attorneys are defending the
Negro workers and the war veteran,
Sanders, is holding mass protest
meeting here tomorrow night (Wed-
nesday). William L. Patterson, Ne
gro labor leader and member OF the
National Executive Committee of the

The Chinese Red Army in its pur-
suit of the defeated main Marking
army in Hupeh Province yesterday
arrived within two miles of the city
of Shasi, important Yangtze River
port midway between Hankow and
Ichang. In several engagements with
the rearguard of the retreating Nam
king army, the Red army was vic
torious Many of the Marking troops
were disarmed. Desertions to the Red
Army continue.
Workers Take Up Arms
In Shasi, the workers rose up in
arms against the Marking butchers
and the Japanese imperialists as the
Red Army neared the city They at
tackled the Japanese Consulate and
Japanese business places Sharp
fighting is occurring between the
workers, on one hand, and the Man.

Japanese gun boats are rushing to
Shasi from other points on the Yang
TIE in an attempt to drown the anti
Marking, anti-imperialist struggle in
blood and to prevent the capture of
the city by the Red Army.
Nearing Nanchang.
The Red Army of the Central Chi
nese Soviet Government in Kiangsi
Province is rapidly advancing on the
important city of Nanchang, in the
northeastern corner of Kiangsi, the
only part of that province still con-
trolled by the Marking forces. Its
objective is to clear out the Marking
forces from their last stronghold in
Kiangsi. This would clear the road
for it's advance into Hupeh Province
to join the victorious Red Army there
in mopping up the Marking forces in
that province. Nanchang is the ter
minus of a short railway connecting
that city with Kukiang on the Yang
TIE River.
Another Red Army from the Cen
trail Chinese Soviet Government is
operating in Kwangtung Province
against the Canton clique of the Ku-
omintang. In Fukien Province sharp
fighting is occurring between the Red
Army holding two-thirds of the pro-

Army, which was recently reorgan-
lied.
Boycott Move Grows.
Workers of Shanghai, Canton and
Wuchow have resumed picketing of
japanese shops. The anti-Japanese
boycott movement has been greatly
strengthened during the past two
weeks. The Marking troops and po-
lice are powerless to stem this grow

Workers Tell Experiences.
Worker after worker mounted the
platform at the demonstration and
gave details of how they had been
defrauded. Very often the job-sharks
make an agreement with bosses and
superintendent whereby workers
who have bought job are actually
given job for a few days, but the
worker is then fired
r. Andrews, one OF the workers
who had been defrauded by the Eff
f1ciency Unemployment Bureau, told
the workers at the demonstration
that he had incurred the hatred of
the job sharks when he was a super
intendant by refusing to hire and
fire workers in this way and split So
so with the sharks.
While the meeting was going on,
w. w. Waters, self-styled COM
mander of the bonus army who is
now forming fascist corps, strolled
by in an expensive comic-opera out
fit and was heartily cursed by the
workers, many Of whom are war
vets.
Police Try to Stop Meeting.
Tammany police, who have refused
to interfere with the lucrative suck

on-the-spot yesterday in an attempt
to disrupt the demonstration but
thought better of it when they say
the workers were determined to go
through with their meeting.

1t was decided to hold another
demonstration today at the same

CHAPTER 37. F. F. TRIES TO HELP

There was no letter from .Jer- wis next day. Nan did not know that she was counting on one un- til the mail had come and broupht nothing. She looked at Ferdinand and Ferdinand exercised some in- genuity.
 Buck up, Nan, here's a thing he might have d0ne-a thing I've done myself when I've had my mind all taken up with something He might have written a note to leave here, and have gone away with it in his pocket. If he finds it he'll send wire-lbut he might not find it til he gets back home. It's a thing might happen to any one.
 Why, in my own town there was the case of Reggie Lawson. Poor old Reg had got it bad. He was just a shadow-Cornelia Van Bleu's shadow. And then all of a sudden he disappeared and everyone was sure Cornelia had given him the mitten.
 By and bye Cornelia began to look shadowy, too. She'd never been robust, but she got so poet ic-looking that she nearly wasn't there at all. And then one day she got a cable from Cape Town, South Africa. It said:
