FOURTEEN YEARS.
OF STRUGGLE IN
JACKSONVILLE
White Workers Rid
Selves of Boss Poison
Against Negroes

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Fourteen
years ago the local press here was
carrying articles on the front page
which they called, ''Doings In Boil
shevik Russia" They explained in
their articles how the Bolsheviks had
ruined everything and closed the fac
tories and put all of the workers out
of a job-how there was nothing but
smokeless factories in Russia, how
they have nationalized the women
and made them the common prop
erty of all men and all the rest of the
lying propaganda against the US.S.R.
We made contact with printer
who was friendly to the working class
and had some leaflets printed ex-
planning to the workers not to listen
to the false propaganda Of the boss
class and telling the workers what
was really taking place in Communist
Russia. We distributed those among
the working class. For that I was
"manhandled" by the misled workers
and turned over to the police.
What a different story I can tell
about Jacksonville today. Through
hard work with the help Of Comrade
D and his family we have man
aged to break down the boss class
prejudice of the worker and estab-
lish movement here.
Needless to tell you what q job
it is to organize the white and COL
ored worker together in the most
backward state of the union. How
ever, we have succeeded in neutral
izing the poison that has been for
generations built up In the minds
of the white workers against the Ne
groes.
We have succeeded in organizing
unit of the G. P. and Young Com
munist League. We have established
branch of the International Work
ers Order and we have an Icor
Branch; in short we have a pretty
good movement here.
Long live the Soviet Republic!
Long live the Communist Internal
tional. Il. B.

San Diego Movement
Developing Rapidly

SAN DIEGO, Cal.--As a natural
consequence Of the crisis In San Di-
ego the Communist Party in the
last year has been able to secure a
strong foothold. It has led the strug-
giles OF hundreds Of unemployed for
food and shelter and in turn has
seen its leaders arrested for this
crime. Time after time conces-
sions have been won from the Of
hcials including an increased welfare
budget for this year Of $3.50, 900, the
retraction Of ruling prohibiting car
owning indigents from receiving re-
lief and the securing of food for
innumerable suffering families.
Due to an incessant struggle
against race discrimination and for
complete race equality strong fol-
lowing has been established among
the Negro people.
AS San Diego Is an important
Naval Base we are beginning to con-
centrate on the sailors stationed here.
Revolutionary organizations in ex-
istence here, in addition to the Com
munist Party, are the International
Labor Defense, section Of the I. r..
A. Several Unemployed Councils,
our strongest mass organizations, the
Friends Of the Soviet Union, Young
Communist League group, Pioneer
groups and the International Work
ers Order.
interviewer throughout all our
activities Is strong defense OF the
Soviet Union. With q living example
OF socialism actually under con-
struction we are able to win fol-
lowers at a rate faster than ever
before in history, in spite OF the
slanderous lies spread by the capital
list press.
Believe me, when the war dogs Of
capitalism are loosened upon the
Soviet Union, we in San Diego will
rally by the hundreds to It's defense
and we shall struggle mighty for a
conversion Of this coming war into
a civil war and for the final over
throw of the capitalist system.

Notes
BY ROBERT HAMILTON.
PRAYER OF HATE" IN THURIN-
CLAN SCHOOLS

Some time ago the Nazi Govern
nlent of Thuringia decreed the recital
of prayer of hate" in all Thurin-
gian public schools. The teacher
reads the passage in the Treaty Oh
Versailles which states that Ger
many alone is responsible Tor the
World War, after which the pupils
must recits in chorus: "fhis Ger
man shame shall burn in our Souls
until the day of honor and freedom
The determined opposition OF pro-
1etarian school children to the re-
cftal Of this hate prayer has pre-
vented its introduction in many
schools. such as the jena Trace
school for Boys and the Louise Els-
mentary School for girls in Weimar.
In the latter school one OF the pupiis
drew up the following resolution: .
we refuse to recite the prayer ana
demand that-if we have majority
On our side-the prayer be no long
err reeited." Twenty-seYen OF the
girls in the class signed the resolu-
tion. ten abstained and three were
against it. The teacher disregardeo
the resolution, but the 81 girls reso-
lutely refused to recite the prayer,
50 that it had to be given up.
A brilliant example OF proletarlan
activity in the public schools which
ought to inspire American children
to stand up determinedly against the
patriotic propaganda in their classes.

LUDWIG REM ARRESTED

Ludwig Rem, noted German au-
thor, who wrote the novels WAR
and "After War" has been arrest
ed by the Berlin police on a charge
OF literary high treason" He was
arrested while teaching q class in
the Marxist Workers School In
Berlin.
The crime of Literary high trea-
son" is a new invention of the Ger
man judicial machinery as its con-
tribution to the world wide fight
against Communism. One author
after another k being jailed in
Germany for the sole crime of
Communist views. What price free
dom Of speech when capitalism's
rule Is endangered?

Speedily Hospital
Workers in NJ ass
Lay-off of Foreigners

NEW YORK Only six hundred of
the 14l5 ousted alien hospital work
ers have been reported replaced by
citizen workers. Despite demagogic
exceptions of workers who had APP
piled for citizenship, these workers
were also laid off. The lay-off was
announced as "jobs for Americans"
move but has resulted in greater
speed-up for the native-born work
ers and wage-cuts for highly skilled
nurses and unskilled hospital help as
we'll.
The Hospital Workers League has
protested the lay-offs and is working
to organize both natlve-born and
foreign-born workers to fight fur
ther lay-offs.

KILKENNY COAL STRIKE WON

Readers of international Notes"
will remember the report of the hard
fought coal strike Of the Castlecomer
miners in Kilkenny, Ireland. Now,
after six weeks of glorious struggle,
the strike has ended with brilliant
victory for the miners.
The fight has been a triumph Oh
rank and file leadership, and it re-
vealed how the working farmers IN
the countryside and the industrial
workers in the city-regardless OF
grade union officials-would support
the fight of their class. The Dublin
Trades Union Council, and the lead
ing trade unions in Dublin refused
to give the striking miners any aid,
while the rank and file union mem
bers collected money for the strikers
at union meetings every week until
the strike was won. The strike has
built up working class unity in Ire
land against the efforts Of British
inperialism-aid by native Irish
capitalists and landlords-to divide
the workers.

KRUpp WORKERS WIN STRIKE.

ESSEN (By Maid The blast fur
mace workers in the huge Krupp
plant went out on strike. under the
leadership OF the Red Trade Union
Opposition (the German counterpart
of the Trade Union Unity League) !,
against an announced wage cut, and
after three hours Of strike forced the
management to Withdraw the cut,
compelling it to raise wages and to
bay for the three strike hours.
Crisis or no crisis, depression or
no depression, united mass action Of
workers can successfully resist wage
cuts in every factory and shop. The
feformist trade union officials are
seady to break every strike move, not
pnly in Germany but in the United
States as well. The Krupp strike VIC
tory was achieved under Communist
leadership-the tried and true lead
srship of the battles of the working
elaSs.

Battle Saturday May Go Far
Toward Fixing Eastern
Grid Supremacy.

n YEW YORK, October 20. - Two
M teams which have been keep
ing their gridiron feats pretty
much to themselves during the
hullabaloo over the early season big
games. Colgate and New York Univer-
sity, offer what may be one OF the most
exciting and decisive games on this
weeks Eastern foot ball program.
They both rank among the East S
undefeated teams and neither has been
scored on this season. But until last
week they had been going up against
comparatively weak opposition and
little was known about their real
strength.
After defeating Hobart, $50, and
Rutgers. 2l-O, both low scores COM
pared to previous years, N. Y. U. came
TO life last week against the first major
opponent and ran Georgetown ragged 10
win by a $50 score. On the same
afternoon Colgate crushed a strong La
fayette team, 35 to 0. A week before
LAFAYETTE had held Dartmouth to a
60 score.
TN earlier games the Maroons ran up
i counts of 4l-0 against st. Lawrence,
Zi-U hSdAASt SoSSJ oAAo - ~o"
Niagara.
The figures alone indicate strong de-
fenses on both sides. In addition, N. Y.
U. has Bob Mcnamara, whose puntlng
can set almost any opponent back on
its heels, and who is fine runner as
we'll. and a half dozen more good backs,
including the regulars. Joe Lamark,
Soleau and pair Of speedsters, Whitley
Ask and Rene Antolini.
The Colgate-N. Y. U. game is the
only one this week which brings to-
gether two of the East's unbeaten lead
ers, although many of the big teams
encounter plenty of opposition.
HARVARD. another candidate for
i i sectional honors which has not
been fully tested, encounters an
old and tough rival in Dartmouth, while
Ohio State and Michigan State furnish
severe intersectional opposition for
Pittsburgh and Fordham. Carnegie
goes West to meet Notre Dame. hoping
for an upset" at the best, and Boston
College plays Marquette at Milwaukee.
| Columbia Pennsylvania and Brown
take on minor opposition in Williams,
Lehigh and Tufts, respectively.
Competing with these leaders for the
attention of fandom are such tradi-
tional struggles as Yale and Army. in
which the Cadets. rated right up with
the leaders, figure to have an easy vic
| tory. Others are Navy, Penn
State-Syracuse and Wesleyan Amherst.
