possible in front of Cuban consular
Offices, and by sending kilograms Of

Police Stool Pigeon
Forms Organization
Against Kent JObless

KENT, Ohio, Aug. IA shady in
dividual, a police spy and perhaps
also a landlords agent, named T. R.
Taylor, was used to form fascist
like organization here against the
Unemployed Council Monday night.
The Unemployed Council had
called demonstration to meet at
the city hail. Taylor was a mem
Der of the council. The local paper,
the Tribune, says: Police secured
the cooperation of Taylor" and a
few Of Taylor's friends left the I'm
employed Council with him and
started new organization, under
police protection, which he calls:
1.-THE Citizens Protective League of
Kent" Taylor and his agents stood
at the doors to prevent any of the
militant unemployed from getting
into this meeting. The League de-
nounces Communism, and says that
it will merely "intercede" if evic-
tons are threatened or workers are
starving.
The Unemployed Council contin-
ues its work, cleansed of Taylor.

FORGE JOBLESS
COUNCMLEAFLET
General Strike Calf
Is Provocation

NEW YORK.-An unusually crude
case of provocation, the distribution
of a forged leaflet, pretending to
come from the Unemployed Council
but containin gsuch languages and
such demands as will discredit the
Unemployed Council if any worker
really believes it is leaflet of the
council, is going on now in Brooklyn.
The leaflet, printed on red paper,
starts out by saying, 1--WE of the
Communist Unemployed Council de-
mand from you not to pay any rent
from the first of August"
It contains such slogans as:
Strikes is our motto" Down with
the landlords" etc.
The Unemployed Councils point
out that they organize jobless work
ers into the councils, and help or
ganize tenants leagues, to fight
against evictions of those who
through unemployment can not pay
rent, and that the tenants leagues
conduct rent strike in specific cases
where there is good chance to win,
for demands which can be won. They
do not do anything so foolish as to
declare a general strike against pay
ing rent at all, at this stage of the
game. This might be done some time
when the tenants and workers gen
orally organized.
The Unemployed Councils fight for
immediate cash relief to the unem-
ployed, and for unemployment in
surance at the expense of the en-
ployers and the state-none of which
demands are contained in the pro-
vocateur's leaflet. The Unemployed
Council takes in workers of all
political parties.

INCREASE TERROR
In MILWAUKEE
Jail Workers Fighting
Forced Labor
lBy a worker CORRESPONDENT


MILWAUKEE, Wis.-Re &c n Il y
the Milwaukee County Board passed
forced-labor measure, introduced
by the Socialist supervisors Metcalfe
Socialist candidate for GOVERNOR
and Tucker. Under this, the work
ers on the relief list are forced to
take county jobs for 81 day and
pay their own carfare, which brings
them only 80 cents. The rest Of the
81 they should receive is appropri-
ated by the county for relief given.
There is great discomfort amongst
the workers, and they are preparing
to strike against this.
To forestall this strike, the most
severe terror is instituted against
the workers. One South Milwaukee
worker, who refused to work on
forced labor, was given 80 days in
the workhouse. This worker, Colt
fried Balde, has nine children.
Others have been given so days.
Others have been given 60 days.
George Prodanich, militant organizer
of the Red Arrow Park unemployed
committees, was given days for dis
tributing leaflets against forced Ia

applauding this vicious terror cam
paign-while the Socialist sheet, the
Milwaukee Leader, prints the news,
not in open applause. but with such
distortions as to make the workers
appear in the wrong.
Shoppers.
AS means Of cutting relief, scores
of shoppers have ben put on at $3.50
a month to ransack the workers
homes and cut them off the relief
list. Workers who have few pen
MES, or little food left, are cut off
the list and some prosecuted for
fraud" as an example to others.
One worker was given from l to 2
years sentence. A militant worker,
Raymond Day, organizer of the Trade
Union Unity League and leader of
the recent Simplex Shoe strike of
$50 girls against wage-cuts, was
given five days for objecting to the
insulting tactics of the shoppers.
His charge was "disorderly conduct"
The Socialist shoppers did not dare
to give him more because of his in
fluence amongst the workers. This
is the tactic generally in Socialist
Milwaukee in dealing with workers
organized in the revolutionary move
ment-to "snipe" at them.
Deportation.
In Kenosha, controlled by the
Nash Motors and American Brass,
Alex. Thomas, militant leader of the
workers, is held for deportation be-
cause. he distributed a shop bulletin

RUEGGS BACK in
PRISON AGAIN
Marking Government
Breaks It's Promise i
(Film Photo League)
Wireless BY Inprecorr)

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 1.-THE
Rueggs were transferred from the
hospital to prison in Marking Fri
day, August 5. The Marking govern
ment was lying to the public when it
announced several days ago that
they would be so transferred not be-
fore August 8, the day before their
trial date.
This deceit is quite in character
with the methods of Jurisprudence"
which have been applied by the Nan
king government since the Rueggs
were first arrested.
Rueggs health has somewhat i'm
proved lately, after it was weakened
by long imprisonment and hunger
strike against abuses in prison.
Publish Thrill Appeal
The newspapers here publish the
text of the third appeal of the Ruegg
defense for the transfer of the case
from Marking to Shanghai, where a
foreign defense lawyer can be hired
and better defense made.
The defense appeal traces the his
tory of the case, and states that the
Rueggs were extradited from Shang-
hal to Marking after arrest on a false
charge of another ,offense than that
which they are being tried for, an
10 epIs4no ps44!uWoo GIe59us ssusJJo
Shanghai.
The Rueggs we're then detained in
military prison for over four
months without charges, and were
tortured there. The defense charges
that this extradition deprives the
Rueggs of the chance to use a for
eign lawyer, and deprives them of
the use of a lawyer in the prelini-
nary proceedings.
No State Evidence.
Another ground of appeal by the
defense is that the state prosecutor
based his accusations not on any evil
dence, but only on notes of the
Chinese recorder.
The trial was started under the
supervision of the Kuomintang and
military representatives, behind clos
ed doors, under strong military guard
and in a general atmosphere of mar
tial law. The defense counsel was
interfered with in every way Wit
nesses we're examined while the ac-
cused were unable to attend court.
The radiogram's reference to start
ing the trial behind closed doors
seems to refer to an earlier proceed
ing and not to the coming trial, slat-
ed for August 10, unless the date of
the trial has been arbitrarily changed
again and it is already going on.
But in Marking, the August 10 trial
would be of this same general char
acter.
A world wide protest movement to
save Paul and Gertrude Ruegg is 60
ing on. Rsugg was secretary of the
Pan Pacific Trade Union Secretariat.
The charge against the two is not
made clear, but seems to be a blanket
accusation of Communism.
A letter sent out of Jail some time
ago by Gertrude Ruegg and suppress
ed by Marking and by Shanghai in
ternational settlement authorities,
appears in the latest issue of Inpre-
corr, and tells of accusations in the
first hearing, that the Rueggs took
part in May Day demonstrations.

WHITNEY TO SEEK
SEAT IN CONGRESS
Cornelius VanderbiIt's Grand
son to Oppose Friend in
Gotham District.
By the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August 17.-Cornelius
Vanderbilt Sonny Whitney will con-
test for a seat in Congress with his per-
sonal friend, Robert L. Bacon, son Of
former Ambassador Robert Low Bacon.
Philip N Krug, chairman OF the Mas
sau County Democratic Committee, an
nounced yesterday that Whitney had
been designated a candidate from the
first congressional district, embracing
the counties of Nassau. Suffolk and part
of Queens on Long Island. 1t Will be
his first venture in politics.
In Same Social Set.
Bacon. a Republican, has represented
that district in Congress since 1928 and
has already announced himself can
didate for reelection. He and Whit
ney move in the same social set and are
often seen together.
Sonny" Whitney is the son OF the
late Harry Payne Whitney sportsman.
and Mrs Whitney, and the grandson OF
the late Cornelius Vanderbilt. When his
father died he inherited half of an es-
tate appraised at close to 5000 100000.
His first marriage in 1928 to Miss
Marie Norton ended in divorce in Paris
in 1929. He has since wed Miss Gladys
Crosby HOPKINS, oau8nler oI MI D.
Stevens Heckscher.
Whitney inherited his fathers love
for sports. He was one of Yale's best
oarsmen before his graduation in 1922,
and for a time was captain OF the var
sity crew.
Continues Family Tradition.
He also took up horsemanship and
polo, finally carrying on the traditions
of his grandfather and father in the
management Of the internationally IA
nous Whitney stables.
The elder Whitney's estate was said
to be the second largest for which a
will was ever filed in New York State.
The only larger one was the fortune
left by Mr.. Whitney's brother, Payne
Whitney.
Young Whitney was left $2,o00,G00
cash outright and his fathers racing
stable, one of the greatest in the coun-
try.
