Constant Menace

NEW YORK.-The death list in
the Observation wreck has grown. Of
ficially it is now 43, with 20 still miss

All we're workers except for the
captains father.
Dickerson N. Hoover, assistant
chief Of the Bureau Of Navigation
and Steamboat Inspection Saturday
testified that the Observation hull
and boiler we're regularly inspected
every four months and were Gin per-
feet condition"
But yesterday Walter S. Larson and
Victor Michaelson. former firemen
testified that the boiler leaked SO that
it flooded the boiler room, that on
August IL the chief engineer tried to
patch it with concrete, that the water
guage was showing a full boiler one
minute and one inch of water the
next, that in June electric welders
called in to put a patch on the port
water leg Of the boiler stated the
material was SO thin the patch could
not be made to stick.
The hull, part of which was raised
from the bottom OF the East River
Saturday, proved to be so rotten the
planks would crumble in the hand.

"The rank and file must take the
most immediate and energetic steps
to reject any fake agreement, and to
prepare to strike if sell-out is in
sisted upon. This can be done only
by the rank and file demanding COM
plete reports. that the agreement be
submitted for a referendum, and that
rank and file committees be elected
on all docks in order to lead struggles
against any sellout. The MWIU Pied

FIGHT BOSS
TERROR IN
KENTUCKY
When Communist Goes
On Ballot. Operators
Bomb Miners Home
THUGS THREATEN DEATH
Bell County Sheriff
Imports Killers

MIDDLESBORO, KY, Sept. ~
With mine owners enraged at the
success of the Communist Party get
ting on the ballot in the state of
Kentucky and in Bell County, cam
paign of terror has begun against
all militant workers, especially the
members Of the Communist Party
and the active National Miners
Union workers. Wednesday night
thugs attempted to dynamite the
home of Silas Byrge, N. M. U. Or
ganizer. About o'clock in the night
thugs in a passing auto threw a
large charge of dynamite at the
house, but It hit a porch post and
bounced in the yard. The explosion
broke out the glass door and shat
tered windows for three or four
blocks. The blast threw Byrge out
of bed. Had it hit in the house, as
was intended, it would have killed
everyone.
Wednesday afternoon, J. ]. South
ern, local merchant and stool-pigeon
for the operators, saw neighbor's
boy enter the home of Byrge and,
thinking it was Paul Wilson, Com
munist Party organizer, he SO in
formed the operators. The bomb
ing followed.
Even the local papers state 1t was
thought that Wilson was there on
the night of the dynamiting.
The coal operators say they are
determined to wipe out the COMMIT
mist Party in Harlan and Bell Coun-
ties. 1.-TWO Gun" Allen and Estes
Cox, who carried Wilson for a ride
and whipped him, together with Lee
Fleenor, the murderer of Julius
Baldwin, all Harlan thugs, have
been transferred recently to Bell
County, "the seat of Communist &C
tivities." They have openly boosted
that the "rivers and creeks of Har-
Ian and Bell will run with blood in
stead Of water before damn mig
ger" will be allowed to run in Ken
lucky for Vice President.
In spite of the thugs and bosses
terror, workers are carrying on ac-
tivities for their candidates and this
will be accelerated as the election
draws nearer. Foster and Ford are
now on the state ballot. Ed Gar
land has filed for Communist candi-
date for sheriff Of Bell County, and
by Sept. 20 candidates will be filed
for Congress on the Communist
Party ticket.

Legion Rank and
File Split With
Leaders

NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The revolt
leaders Of the American Legion over
the bonus question which has be-
come strikingly obvious at the open
ing session of the National Conven-
ton in Portland is admitted now even
by writer's on the capitalist press.
The following, which appeared in
the New York Times, is a picture OF
the split between the leadership and
the rank and file which the cap
italiSt government fears and is at
tempting to halt without success.
For the first time in the Legion's
history distinct cleavage has de-
veloped between the leadership and
the rank and file. The latter are no
longer willing to follow TIE lead-rs
unless the leaders do what they wish
THE officers and the men VINO
make up the delegation cat the Port
land Legion Convention. Ed. D. W)
are generally the more solid and
prosperous members of the Legion
A high percentage of these disapproye
at the bonus demand The rank and
file are for the bonus demand by a
large majority.
MANY of the individual delegates
now assembling here are opposed to
the bonus personally, but are bound
by their State conventions to vote
for it.
For instance. it was stated today
that although the New York delega-
ton of 81 votes would go solidly for
the bonus, poll would show that the
we're personally opposed to
it.
Delegates dared violate their in
structions last year in response to
the personal appeal of the President,
but another year of the depression
has made the pressure of the rank
and file for the bonus so strong that
it is believed few delegates would
have the hardihood to ignore their
instructions from back home"

SOCIALISTS BACK
Won PAPEN GOVT
Hitlerites Also Block
Reichstag Session
(By Cable from Imprecorr.)

BERLIN, Sept. IL. = The Reichs-
tag opened at three o'clock today in
expectation of Won Papen's state
ment. However, the Communist dep
uty, Torgler, Immediately rose to pro-
pose that vote without discussion
be taken on the Communist motion
to express on-confidence in the gov
eminent and to demand the with
drawal of the emergency decree.
The president of the Reichstag
Goering asked whether any deputy
objected. Had a single deputy OBJ
jected the proposal would have been
lost. The Communist proposal, how
ever, surprised the House, and no
objection was filed. The fascist mo-
ton for half hour adjournment
was adopted.
Papen Ruled Out of Order.
At the re-opening of the session,
the president of the Reichstag an
nounced that the Communist pro-
posal for an immediate vote had
been adopted for lack Of objection.
Won Papen, then realizing that he
would be unable to deliver state
ment before the adoption of the no
confidence motion, demanded the
floor, but the president ruled him out
of order. Papen then placed the
dissolution order on the president S
table, but the president knocked the
paper onto the floor, whereupon
Papen left the House amidst laughter.
Thirty Nationalist deputies voted
against the Communist o-conf1dence
motion, five withheld their vote, while
513 deputies voted in favor of the
motion, which thus passed by huge
majority.
Declares Cabinet Overthrow.
The fascist president, Goering, then
declared the cabinet overthrown, and
the dissolution decree therefore in
valid. He stated the Reichstag
would meet again Tuesday while in
the meantime the Reichstag COM
mittee would consider a new agenda.
Later the socialist deputies re-
fused to participate in this Reichs-
tag committee session. declaring that
the Reichstag was dissolved. Thus
the socialist deputies threw their
support to the Won Papen govern
ment. The president of the Reichs-
tag, Goering, then called off the ses-
sion.
Fascists Aid Papen
A meeting of fraction leaders under
Goering's Craftsmanship took place in
the evening. Goering there declared
he would not call meeting of the
Reichstag until the legal situation as
to the validity of the Reichstag de-
cree was cleared up. The Commu-
mist motion that the Reichstag meet
tomorrow was rejected.
Thanks to the brilliant Communist
tactics, Won Papen suffered a heavy
defeat, losing international credit, and
endangering his entire economic plan
for further attacks on the working
class. Won Papen, as this cable is
sent, is delivering an angry TRADE
over the radio.

being men with criminal records and
thus defeat the ex-servicemen's

"Mitchell's statement, however, will
never justify the brutal attack on

never forget Bloody Thursday. This
explanation of Hoover must be an
swered by the mobilization Of masses
