The Japanese circulated reports that Chinese snip CTS are picking off Japanese resi- dents and it is imperative to root them out. If that is the purpose the job appeared to be done under no central authority but by indi- vidual gangs who are a law unto themselves.
 Japanese Marines on motorcycles with sidecars swept the streets with machine gun fire.

NEW YORK.-Workers candidates
will run in three Senatorial and two
Congressional districts, also two As
sembly districts in Long Island.
For the first time in history Com
munist candidates are running in
Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties.
The campaign of the Communist
Party, especially in this part of New
York, will broaden out and increase
the struggles for Unemployment IN
surance and terror of Negro and IN
employed workers.
Cutting off of relief, foreclosures of
workers homes, high taxation Of the
thousands of small home owners,
will be brought to the very doors of
the bankers and millionaires who live
in this area in palatial homes, a
sharp contrast to be found in prac-
tically every one of the towns and
villages. Negro and foreign born
workers, also the majority Of the
native working class, live in segre-
gated sections where it is a common
thing to see crumbied, rotten shacks,
unfit for human beings to live in.
To carry on this strong and vigor-
Gus campaign in the elections, broad
United Front Conferences are called
for May %.
The Conference involving workers
organizations from Nassau and Suf-
folk will be held in Hampstead, L. l.,
at 4:3o pm, at the Ukrainian Hall,
