FEAR OF MASSES
FREES SIX IN
WORCESTER
j u d &c Frant tic AS
Workers Denounce
Court With Placard

WORCESTER, Mass.-Fearlng the
mass recruitment Of the hundreds Of
workers vino cranrned the courtroom
at the trial OF the SIX workers, the
Judge In the district court threw all
the cases out. -Four were arrested
when they participated nj an eviction
fight and succeeded in preventing the
eviction Of an unemployed worker.
The other TWO workers we're arrest
ed when hundreds OF workers cYanl-
med into the meeting OF the City
Council OF Worcester demanding re-
lief for the joblsss and denouncing
the city cut Of relief by orle-hal1
million dollars Cutting the yearly ap-
preparation from 100000 year to
100000 for Worcester's $4,000 joblesS
workers..
The Judge openly tried to bargain
with Comrade Tarmon, one Of the
arrested workers, by asking IL she
would be satisfied not TO testify II
the cases we're thrown out Of court.
The police brought corfiscated pla-
cards as evidence against the COM
rades. But when the cases came up,
Comrade Werner Mock displayed a
placard bearing the following slogan:
"Tfis court evicts jobless workers"
which was snatched out Of his hands
BY the police. The police and Judge
in the courtroom became frantic when
the tables were turned on them and
the placards thus displayed to the
packed courtroom.
Barney Creegan, organizer Of the
Communist Party Of Worcester Sec
ton, and one Of the arrested, began
questioning the police, at which the
judge excitedly discharged all the
cases. The radio reported the fol-
lowing q few hours later: Police

DEMONSTRATE IN
FRISCO AGAINST
TAMPA FRAMEUP
Meet on March 18th to
Fight for Tobacco
Workers

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-stired by
the determination of the Flodia boS-
ses to carry out the savage sentences
against the II framed up tobacco
workers Of Tampa, Fla, workers OF
this city are planning q huge protest
demonstration.
The meeting, called for Tuesday,
March Is, at Workers Center. 1894
Market Street, has been called by the
International Labor Defense, the
Anti-ImperialiSt League, and the
Food Workers industrial Union.
Speakers in English and Spanish are
announced.
Urging the thousands Of workers
Of San Francisco, victimized by wage
cuts and unemployment, to express
their solidarity with the framed-up
Tampa workers, the sponsors of the
meeting have issued vigorous call,
explaining the background for the
attacks upon the tobacco workers and
drawing a parallel with the Imperial
Valley case.
"Fifty-three years in jail for Is
workers was the Tampa, Fla, tObac-
CO bosses answer to efforts of their
workers to improve their miserable
conditions" the call says.
Fourteen thousand tobacco work
ers there are going through the SUI
fering Of unemployment and starva-
ton wages. The average wage is $40
to Sl2 for Sc hours Of grueling labor.
To fight these conditions the thOus-
snds Of Latin american workers in
Tampa plants affiliated themselves
with the Food Workers Industrial
Union through its Tobacco Workers
Section.
"A 72-hour strike was declared by
the workers III protest against the ar
rest Of Is workers during the celebra-
ton OF the 14th anniversary of the
Russian revolution. The whole
weight OF the bosses terror was
brought down on the strikers. A large
number Of strikers were arrested,
many being held for deportation, and
Ia have been sentenced to serve a
total of SO years In prison"
"AS in the Imperial Valley strike
of the agricultural workers In 1885,"
the call concludes, so In Tampa, Fla,
in 1892, the bosses aim TO crush the
nlilitancy Of the workers through
jailings and terror"

luton of the Red Squad" which

Der of Commerce In an attempt TO

Daily WorkeT.:-- Boston, Mass.
Winfield A. Dryer, one Of the most
active Daily Worker boosters Of Bos-

Washington Streets selling the Daily
Worker, shouting the slogans in the

SO you're one Of them reds!" anG
Immediately began raining blows on
Dryers face. Dryer ably defended
himself and the gangster was getting
the worst Of 1t when other fascists
came TO his rescue and he escaped.

LENIN ON THE ROLE OF WOMEN
AGAINST WAR AND ON PACIFISM

AT the present time, when the i'm
perialistS have again started a pre-
datory war on China, and when
along with this the bourgeois pacifist
deception is especially widely utilized
in order to cover up the prepara-
tons for more powerful imperialiSt
aggressions, 1t Is particularly neces-
sary TO remember what was said by
Lenin with regard TO the falseness
Of bourgeois pacifism. On the day
OF the international holiday Of the
toiling women, each woman worker
and peasant must s'ialyse again Len
ms words telling Of the only means
by which it is possible 10 put an end
TO war for ever This means consists
In the victory over the howgeoisie
won aftsr a Tnerciless war against it.
That is what Lenin wrote on the
tasks Of the women belonging TO the
oppressed class in all the capitalist
countries: he wrote 1t when the i'm
perialist war of 1e14-18 was already
in its full swing.
AT the present time authorization
is irnbuing the entire public life. I'M
perialism consists in bitter struggle

the plan Is "to be assured by the be-
inefficient aid Of France, Great Brit

The move represents both an at
tempt to extend the imperialist ring
OF bayonets around the Soviet Union
and desperate effort to prevent the
imminent economic collapse OF all
Central EuYepss which is threatened
by the ever deeping world economic
crisis Of decaying capitalism. Back
of both detectives are the sinister

thte world into war in the desperate
attempt to get out Of thte crisis
which is engulting capitalism.
The Soviet newspaper, Pravda,
commenting editorially on the expo
sure OF Japanese documents revealing
the plans of the Japanese to seize
Soviet territory, yesterday warned
the Soviet masses that the attempt
to seize the Soviet Far East region
will be the next step Of the Japanese
irnperialists in their attempt to SUBJ
jugate China and dominate the Far
East. Walter Duranty, Moscow cor
respondent of the New York Times,

that japan Is a typical example
of imperialism and has grown up

(Tsarist) Russia, TO firm foot
