, struggle for a re-division of the spoils
The war in the Far East is already
on. May First is a day of struggle
against bosses wars and for the de-
tense Of the Soviet Union.
The bureaucracy of the A. F. of
L., the Socialist party and the Music
outfit are working hand in hand
with the bosses, helping to put across
wage cuts, blocking the struggle for
Unemployment Insurance, and &C
lively participating in the war pre-
parations and attacks on the Soviet
Union.
On May First the workers inside
md outside of the A. F. of L. will
show their resentment AGAINST the
A. F. of L. and Socialist burocracy
by participating in mess in the Uni
ed Front May Day demonstration.
1t is of course in the period OF
Using discomfort that the bos~es and
their government will increase their
error against the workers and their
militant ORGANIZATIONS. Unemployed
Nero workers were murdered in
CHICAGO ard Cleveland, the Detroit
massacre, the determination OF the
white landowners in the South to
murder the nine Scottsboro boys, the
mass terror in Tampa, the murder of
Harry Simms, Tom Mooney is still
in prison, mass injunction and ar
rests, heavy sentences and deporta-
tons. All these are links of one chain
Of bosses terror. On May First we
must show by our strength that bos-
ses terror cannot and will not smash
our movement.
The present TUUL Recruiting
Drive must become an integral part
Of our May Day preparations Our
task is not only to mobilize thous-
ands Of new workers for May Day;
we must also organize these workers
into the ranks Of our revolutionary
unions.

MWIU Calls Workers to
Support DOckers' Strike

Few YORK.-Over a thousand
Sngshoremen who struck Friday or
the West st. coastwise docks against
q 10 per cent vage-cut, are con-
tinuing their determined struggle to
win despite the attempts of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton officials to betray the strike.
The lockers stood solid throughout
the day yesterday, but no attempts
were made at mass picketing to stop
the scabs. Several truckloads OF
scabs were brought to the striking
docks by squads OF motorcycle police
right under the nose OF j. P. Ryan,
who has urged the strikers from the
start against picketing. Ryan stood
inmoved In the center Of the street
when the scabs we're brought In. Like
the scabs. Ryan was given strong
police protection.
Not only was this 250-pound
gentleman given the cooperation of
the Tammany cops, but he was also
SUR bundled by crowd Of thugs and
gangsters, under the leadership OF
the notorious frankie Madden. These
thugs, openly approved Of by the
police. tried, although unsuccessfully,
to drive the Marine Workers Indus
trial Union organizers away from
the docks.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union organizes whose influence is
directly responsible for the strike,
continued throughout the day to
expose Ryan and his gunner as
agents Of the shipowners and urged

and gangsters exerted the utmost
terror but were futile in their thug
gish attempts from learning of the
militant program of the M. w. I. U.
This morning the M. w. I. U will
hold a mass meeting at West and
18th SITS. where speakers from the
union will explain the program of
the Trade Union Unity League and
mobilize the lockers for struggle
against a sell-out scheme of Joseph
Ryan.
All unemployed workers are urged
to be at West and 18th SITS. not later
than 7.3o a. m. to help the longshore-
men picket the docks.

CHANGCHOW NEAR
CAP TU R E BY
CHINA RED ARMY
Three Cities in Fukien
Province Taken

General Chang Chen, Kuomintang
governor Of Fukien Province, South
China, has infrrned the imperialist
powers that he will be unable to hold
the important city Of Changchow
against the advancing Chinese Red
Army, under Gen. Sun chung
The Red Army has captured Lung
yen, Nanching and Sungtsulin in It's
advance on Changchow. Sungtsulin
was taken yesterday.
Changchow is close to the seaport
of Annoy, to which the imperialists
have sent warships in direct threat
against the revolutionary movement
in Fukien province. The warships
include one United States destroyer,
three Japanese destroyers and q
British cruiser. The Marking (Kuo-
mintang) government also has two
gunboats there and 1000 Chinese
marines acting in concert with the
imperialist against the revolutionary
masses.
A Peiping dispatch to the New
York Times asserts that the army OF
Gen. san Lien-chung is not a Chinese
Red Army, but an independent force
acting against the Kuomintang lead
ers while at the same time carrying,
the dispatch states, slogan for the
defense of the Kuomintang. The dis
patch admits that Gen. Suns troop
wear a red arm-band. 1t claims tina
Gen. Sun had denied that his force
is a Red Army force. Earlier dis
patches described Gen. Suns force a.
a Chinese Red Army force.

10000 men to the cause of the revo-

cept that it is clearly, for the presen
at least, factor in the revolutionary
struggle against the Kuomiutang tools

ISSUE LIES
TO MASK WAR
MOVE ONUSSR
Use Revolts in Man
churia AS Pretext

The japanese yesterday rushed ad-
Gitional troops to the Soviet border,
on which japanese troops have been
massing for several weeks past. Fresh
outbursts of anti-Japanese activities
in northern Manchuria were used by
the Japanese government ass the pre-
text for increasing its forces on the
Soviet frontier.
While there is no doubt that the
brutal japanese aggressions in Man
churia have created the conditions
for national revolutionary move
ment, many of the so-called revolts
are sponsored and financed by the
Japanese themselves to afford the
pretext Of increasing their forces in
Manchuria and to cover up the real
intent of their concentration of
troops on the Soviet border. In this
latetr connection, a Mukden dispatch
to the New York World Telegram
gives the following misleading tex

equipment and shouting threats
against the Soviet Union.

TO DEMAND
OPENING OF

NJ o Billie at Hea d.
quarters of Council

NEW YORK. - Throughout New
New York and Brooklyn, thousands
Of workingmen and women will rally
on Thursday, April 21st to mass in
City Hall Plaza at 1 p. M, in protest
against the cutting down Of unem-
ploynent relief by the city.
A representative delegation has
been selected by numerous trade
unions and workers organizations,
consisting of white and Negro men
and women, ex-servicemen, relief
laborers and others suffering from
unemployment. This group plans to
appear before the Board Of Estimate
during the demonstration to make
clear the demands Of New York's
workers for immediate adequate I'M
employment relief. Mayor Walker has
been informed of the determination
Of the unemployed to back up their
delegation with the support Of all
other workers and the Unemployed
Council Of Greater New York has
informed the Mayor that he is ex-
pected to arrange for a hearing OF
the demands.
Groups will form in the morning
on Thursday at various Unemployed
Council headquarters in each neigh
borhood from where they will pro-
coed in large numbers directly to City
Hall. Open air meetings earlier in the
day will mobilize mass support and
participating in the demonstration.
Headquarters of workers clubs will
also be used as starting points for the
workers in each neighborhood plan
ming to take part in the mass demand
for work and adequate relief for the
unemployed.
Placards will be carried by the
workers exposing the fake Block
Aid" scheme which has only collected
money from the workers but refuses
them relief, demanding immediate
reopening of the Home Relief Blu
reaus, appropriation of funds for
relief of the unemployed, no dis
elimination Of Negro or foreign born
workers as recently ordered by the
Relief Bureau. This mass demon
stration will expose Mayor Walkers
demagogy in proposing beer for
bread.
The following directiYes were sent
out by the Unemployed Council OF
Greater New York to all organiza-
tons supporting the City Hall dem
onStration:
u All organizations to elect two
delegates to appear before the Board

Answer: Properly the term "lady"
denotes person of cultivation and in
herent gentility, who can be counted
on to meet every situation Of life with
instructive taste.
My Dear Mrs. Post: In view Of your
recent criticism of the word attend
as, attend a dinner-I looked up the
word in recognized dictionary and
find that the word attend" used in
this way, Is accepted. Have misun-
derStood?
Answer: The ban against the word
ATTEND" used in a merely personal
sense IS a taboo Of social tradition. 1t
belongs in the category with such pre-
tentious phrases as "partake of refresh-
ments," perform ablutions," "desire to
purchase" "arise," retire" "reside in
a mansion" and attend banquet"
People of tradition have something
to eat, wash their faces, would like to
buy, get up, go to bed, live in big
house and go to dinner.

TN France Summer fashions IL NIL

the weather. If 1t turns out 10 pe
i a dark, rainy, coolish season. most

that wide -brimmed hats WILL pe very

In this country there is no such un-

This seasons wide-brimmed hats are

the wide brimmed hats you see at the

BY way of varying this simple motif,
some of the milliners have hit upon the
clever idea of slashing the brim at the

glimpse of curls at the back Of the neck.
This is a simple trick that you can
easily copy at home. If you have hat

Everyday Psychology
nv mr.. JESSE W. sPROWLk
The Talking Picture Mind.

The so-called legitimate theater has
suffered much in recent years. The
'stalkie" has put all but the best OF
dramatists out of work or else taken
then into its studios.
The reason for this transformation is
founded upon strict psychological laws.
I refer to the laws OF seeing, hearing
and imagining.
The older so-called legitimate drama
put a heavy burden on the faculty to
imagine. Much had to be taken for
granted from the little that was heard
and the less that was seen. In order
to get our point, you must recognize
the plain fact that most persons can
see and hear pretty well. but few per-
sons are able to imagine well.
The talking picture is a success for
the reason that it leaves practically
nothing to imagination. The burden
of the drama is loaded onto the eyes
and ears. These are the common
senses. These are the usual gateways
to understanding, instruction, enter
tainments, amusement. The talking
picture will always be psychologically
adequate.
