BERKMAN AGAIN
BOUNDED BYDOAA
Ill Leader Forcefully
Removed from Room

WORCESTER, Mass, July TO-
despite her grave condition, Edith
Berkman, i'll with tuberculosis in
prison hospital at Rutland, Mass, has
been removed to general ward. The
doctor in changing her room did SO
because Mrs. Tillinghast, red-baiting
immigration commissioner, refuses to
give Edith Berkman the treatment
which her condition requires.
The doctor in an interview with
Berkman told her that it was alb
solutely necessary that she receives
the best treatment, that she required
perfect quiet in private room, and
that without these things speedy re-
covery was impossible. He added that
freedom from worry was the first
prequisite for recovery. But none
the less, Edith Berkman is continu-
ously subjected to harrassing and
worry provoking situations, as exem-
plified in this last removal, the
latest one in series of forcible re-
movals from one institution to an
other.
This maltreatment of Berkman by
the immigration commissioner, Til
linghast gives the lie to her state
ment, repeated by Secretary of Labor
Doak, that Berkman is receiving the
best possible treatment. The workers
Of this vicinity are indignant over this
latest outrage, and plan to demand
that Berkman be accorded the treat
ment her condition requires.
These demands and the primary
demand for her immediate and COM
plete release from the clutches of the
immigration authorities, at con-
ference to be held on Wednesday,
July 10, p. m. at knights of Pythias
Hall, Mechanic ST., Worcester. AT
this conference, to which A. F. L.
locals and workers fraternal organi-
cations have already elected delegates,
the workers of Worcester will lay the
basis for an intensive campaign to
stop the deportation of Edith Berk-
man, to fight the Dies Bill, and to
demand the release of the Scots
boro boys. Workers of Worcester, if
they have not already done so, are
urged to elect delegates from their
organizations land to come them
selves to the Conference.

Police Aid Socialists
In Attack on Workers

DETROIT, Mich, July 10.-Two
Communist workers were arrested
when the police attacked an open
air meeting to please their $50
cialist" friends.
The meeting had been called by
the socialists, but when they refused
to answer questions, the workers
transformed it into militant Com
munist street meeting. A comrade
mounted the platform and began to
address the workers
The socialists attempted to break
the meeting by throwing bags of
water on the workers. And when
they failed to do the job, the police
stepped in attacking the workers
with their clubs.
A protest meeting was held after
the two comrades were arrested.

Drive Worker to
Suicide
(By Worker Correspondent

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, July 10.
"A few weeks ago group of workers
investigated the business agent, B.
Foster, of local 145, Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America, and
found that he was stealing money.
The workers Immediately exposed him
by bringing charges to the Board of
Directors. This board, part of Fos-
ter's clique, called Frank Rosenblum,
the district manager, from Chicago
(who previously had been booed by
workers of local 145). He came here
and gave plenty of hell to the board
members and covered up everything,
leaving Foster on the job. Such is
the leadership of local 145, which
brought the conditions of the work
ers to the point of suicide.
Pearl Evans, buttonhole maker at
the coat shop of the Kahn Tailoring
Co., was making only 81 to IS a week,
was transferred to the vest shop,
and when she complained about it
where she made only So week. Being
threatened by the clique that she was
going to be thrown out of the shop
if she did not pay her dues, and so
not being able to make living, she
committed suicide, and left a note
saying. cannot worry any longer"
Workers in this local are beginning
to see what is wrong with the present
leadership and they will get busy to
get rid of them.

rare artist who knew how to reach
the masses. He saw the essential
issues of his time and know how to
formulate them in the sharp and
telling terms of his art. He wavered
in the stormy days when the So
cialist Party-sporting revolutionary
phrases-led its followers down the
road of reaction. Yet as soon as
Walker discerned the treachery, he
boldly severed himself from its ranks,
joining the Communist Party to
whose cause he faithfully devoted
himself to the end.
The statement of the "Rhite

The republic, the AntiImperialist

Mexico by thugs sent down by the
Cuban Government.
In this island colony of the Wall

pretty name for mass suppression of

figure can be realized when it is
known that the population of Cuba
is 100000.

cent of those arrested have been in
Jail for six months without ever
having been brought before the
judges. Lately the authorities have
even refused to divulge the names OF
those under arrest, and it is neces-
sary to find out by means of relatives
for if the newspapers dig up the in
formation they are forbidden to pub
lish the names. The number OF

try highways is mounting at an

Delegates Tells of War Preparations
DECATUR, Ill, July 10.-While
shops in the same city are closing
down, the force at the Rock Island
Arsenal has been doubled, one of the
delegates at the recent Illinois state
nominating convention declared dur
ing the discussion from the floor.
Last year only 500 workers were
employed at the Arsenal, while today
there are more than 1000. Himself a
worker in the Arsenal, the delegate
said:
'The arsenal is hiring workers
while other shops are closing down.
Last year only 500 workers were en-
ployed and this year they have over
1000. At Savannah Illinois, they
have all ammunition and you could
see carload after carload of am
munition. At Savanaha they sealed
the building and at the Rock Island
arsenal they do not allow workers
to visit it. They have built nine
tanks. They sent one to Washing
ton, which cost over $4,000. 1t was
sent down week before the ex-
servicemen went down there. We
have many contacts in the arsenal"
Get Less than Convicts
Unemployed workers in Granite
City, Ill, are feeding their children
on one and two-fifths cents per meal,
less than the prisoners in the state
prison at Joliet receive, J. Warden,
a delegate from Granite City re-
ported. Speaking from the floor,
Warden said:
81 have not worked for two years.
In the mills in Granite City, getting
80 and 40 per cent cuts, absolutely
am one that refuses to take that
SIPS and S1.50 day. 1 am going
to stand by the Unemployed Coun-
Gil and try to make it just as
strong as it is possible to make it.
We have Jim Crow system in
Granite City and on National Youth
Day, the Negro comrades spoke for
the first time from the City Hall
in Granite City.
Mass lay-offs and wage cuts in the
Chicago steel mills was reported by
another delegate, j., of Chicago, who
said:
Il am representing here the steel
workers. In my shop we have mass
lay-offs of workers and cutting of
wages. Wages have been cut from
500 for two weeks to $26 for two
weeks. One department has laid off
1900 workers. There are 40 men left
out of 1900 These are drawing $26
for two weeks labor. They are hav-
ing 25 per cent cut and another
days work and now another 10 per
cent cut. I think the workers should
get wise to themselves and organize.
Under the present conditions it is
impossible for a ma nto live, in this
industry or any other.
"They have recently installed
S2,4OO,000 worth of equipment in my
mill. 1t would probably take
thousand or SO men to turn out
what $50 men are turning out with
the machine. They usually get out
about 10000 tons. Last week it
was 5000. Every time one tries to
organize he is discharged. A man

junkers have little chance of win
ming the election. Once they are in
power they will scrap all their fake
promises to the masses just as they
have already strapped many such
promises.

praise on the agreement, praising

and does not mean that the collec-
ton of war tributes from Germany
has been abandoned. The agreement
is both defeat for the German
Junker Cabinet and its mascist sup
porters, who have declared they

payments and a maneuver against
the United States. 1t is also aimed
to present the possibility" that Ger
many may be able to make some
payment on the private loans, thus
attempting to win the support OF
some financial interests in this coun-
try for an extension of the Hoover
moratorium.
While the French were denying
that the Lausanne agreement was in
the nature of an ultimatum to the
United States to cancel its claims
against the European powers, the
Wall STREET government yesterday is
sued a formal statement declaring
there had been no change in the
attitude of the government on the
war debts owed this country, as ex-
pressed in the Hoover statement of
June 80, 1881, advocating debt holi-
day for one year in the hope of
saving German capitalism. In that
statement Hoover declared that he
did not approve Sin any remote sense
of the cancellation of debts to us. y
French Stand.
The French have made it clear
that without such cancellation by the
United States the Lausanne "agree-
ment" will be null and void. The
French bourgeois and socialist press
is reported unanimous in stating that
Europe has fulfilled Hoover's condi-
ton of settling reparations and now
the United States must act to cancel
the war debts due this country.
A supplementary document to the
Lausanne agreement provides that
should the agreement of treaty not
be ratified new war debts and rep
arations conference would be called.
1t provides further that in the mean
time the Young Plan should be OPP
erative, but with the payments sus-
pended This document, referred to
as "a gentleman's agreement" was
signed without consultation with the
German delegation. 1t fully exposes
the sham nature Of the so-called war
debts settlement. 1t clearly shows
that the powers are still intent upon
sweating out of the German masses
all they can, and have only suspended
payments because 1t is utterly imposl
t;ible to collect with the economic
lcrisis already reaching catastrophe
depths and the German government
admittedly bankrupt and unable to
collect money for PREPARATIONS in spite
of its savage attacks on the already
low living standards of the masses,
its reduction of unemployment relief,
etc.
German Masses Protest.
So great is the indignation of the
German masses against the agree
ment concluded by Won Papen that
the Hitlerites, who hav all along sup
ported the Junker Chancellor in the
negotiations at Lausanne, are now
pretending to be shocked by Won
Papen's action. In the face Of this
pretended opposition, German and
