USE BLACKJACkS
ON HUNGRY SAYS
TAMMANY JUDGE
Finds Unemployed
Guilty for Demand
ing Relief on Fri.

The Tammany Magistrate William
c. Dodge gave official approval Of
the merciless and bloody attack
upon the hungry men and women
who demonstrated for relief last Fri
day in front of the Home Relief Blu
reau. 50 F. First Street. The dem
onsuation was under the leadership
OF the Downtown Unemployed Coun-
Gil.
He found all Of the unemployed
guilty, holding for sentencing on
Tuesday April 10, and giving sus-
pended sentences to three women
workers. He praised the attack Of
the cops. The only way to handle
these Communists is by the night
stick" he said.
. The workers we're brought into
court showing the signs of the ter
ribIe beating they had received.
Their heads and arms were ban
daged, they eyes blood shot from
the experience, all looked pale and
drawn. Dumont, the cop who was
foremost in swinging his blackjack
on the defenseless men and women
was untouched and stood gloWering
like a mad pig.
5. Bartlett, the supervisor of the
bureau admitted on the stand that
he had called the cops beforehand
to slug the workers.
The sergeant upon cross-eXam-
nation tried to justify The attack
by saying that the workers we're
not peaceful" that they had rushed
the door. He said the crowd was in a
turmoil"
The workers lawyer asked him to
explain. What were the workers
shouting?" They kept hollering, We
want bread, we want bread" the SER
geant said. The cop Dumont while
on the stand also had to state that
workers continually cried for bread
When the workers on the stand
tried to tell their side of the story,
how they were starving, how the
closing of the bureau meant death
for themselves and their children the
bosses magistrate silenced them, 81
will allow no speeches in this court.
Throughout the case the magis-
trate showed his hatred of the mi
litant workers. He permitted the dis
trict attorney extra liberties in brow
beating the workers and constantly
overruled the workers lawyers OBJ
jections.
The district attorney tried to
justify the attack by saying the cops
acted in self-defense. The brazen lie
was exposed by the mute testimony
of the workers bandages and the
unscratched cop.
1t was plain from the beginning Of
the case that the workers could ex-
pect nothing but frame-up SEN
tence from the court.

SOCIALISTS IN
JAPAN FORM A
FASCIST PARTY
Support War on China
Anti-SOviet Moves

Coming out more openly in their
treacherous support for the japanese
robber war on China and the war of
intervention against the Soviet Union
and its successful Socialist construc-
ton, japanese socialists" on Satur-
day completed the organization Of a
fascist party. The new party is
headed by Katsumaro Akamatsu, sec
rotary of the Japanese Social Demo-
cratic C"socialist') party.
This shameless betrayal OF the
Japanese toiling masses by the Jap
anese socialists supplies the latest
example of the essentially fascist
character OF the socialist" parties.
What the Communists have con-
tended ever since the betrayal Of the
world proletariat by the Socialist"
International at the outbreak Of the
World War in 1914, is again proved
in the action Of the japanese so
cialists" in connection with the rob-
Der war Of Japanese imperialism.
That it is the Japanese socialists"
instead of some other section of the
Socialist" International that are the
first to betray the workers into war
this time is merely because it is Jap
anese imperialism which has been
irst to start off the new world
slaughter.
Faced with the imperialisv war in
1914, the socialists became social
patriots. Faced with new i'm
perialist war today, the japanese
socialists" have at once abandoned
all pretense of opposition to the i'm
perialists and their robber wars and
have come out openly as social pa
triots, declaring that the seizure of
Manchlria is an act of lf-defense.
They rallied Immediately to the srp-
port of their government, rallying to
the defense Of the Japanese i'm
perialists,
The Japanese socialists" not only
have shamelessly betrayed the prin-
ciples of international proletarian
solidarity, but are striving to confuse
the toiling masses as to the real
nature and principles of Socialism.
A Tokyo dispatch to the New York
Times, reporting the latest betrayal
of the Socialists" reports:
THE movement toward national
socialism has been growing since
reactions to the situation in Man
churia convinced Mr.. Akamatsu
convinced Mr.. Akamatsu and others
that the labor movement needed a
patriotic basis. National socialism
appeals to many of the younger Of
ficers, who declare that Manchuria
must be developed for the benefit
of the people and not the cap
italistS. One officer recently de-
scribed this creed as imperial
communism meaning the develop
ment of Japan into Socialist State
under the aegiS of the Emperor"
In the meantime, section of the
Japanese socialists" are maintaining
in the old Social Democratic organi-
cation in order to maintain their in
fluence over those workers who re-
fuse to follow the secretary of the
Social Democratic Party into the
ranks of fascism.

MOSCOW, April 12.-Among the
best shock brigaders who fought
for the earliest opening of the
hydro-electric station "Dniepdos-

Winters, Jones, Winder, Modersky.
The foreign specialists cannot
escape the captivating spell of the

they have the chance to express
their creative abilities which in
the capitalist countries are chain
ed to the quest for profits.
This offers an additional ex-
PLANTATION of the socialist effici-
ency which is far above the capt.

the socialist superiority is pre-
cisely in the wide democracy on
which production is based. While
in the capitalist countries produc-
ton is based on the dull and econ
omically compulsory participation
of the workers and specialists in
the Soviet Union production is
based on their intelligent, volun-
tary and enthusiastic partcipa-
ton.
