The Detroit News, also, is forced
to admit that the hunger march was
orderedly, disciplined and that the
only purpose of the workers was tc
present their demand for work OF
relief. This sheet writes.
Just before the bridge was
reached tho marchers stopped. The
man on the truck--it was Albert

aneSe documents which have been
exposed by the world revolutionary
press.

TmperialiSts Plotted Murder of Ger
man Ambassador TO Moscow.
Walter Duranty, Moscow correspon-
dent OF the New York Times, reports
that the recent attempt on the life
OF German consular agent in Mos
COW was really aimed at the German
ambassador. He admits that the at
tempted assassination was directed by
enemies Of the Soviet Union toward
rupturing the relations between the
Soviet Union and Germany. In his
dispatch to his paper, Duranty states
In part:
That the attempt on the life OF
the counsel of the German Embassy.
Dr.. Fritz Won Twardofsky, last Satur-
day, was really aimed at his chief,
Ambassador Won Dirksen, is now &C.
cepted in well-informed circles here.
Had the ambassador been killed
the effects in Germany might have
been ncalculable on the eve of the
elections. Adolf Hitler is running in
a strong ti-Bolshevist and anti
Semitic campaign and the murder of
the German ambassador by what the
Hitlerites would certainly have de-
scribed as Bolshevist Jew, would
have been exploited to the utmost.
Without suggesting that Herr
Hitler or his partiSans were priyy
to the attempted assassination, two
facts are undeniable-first, Ger
many at present is the chief I'M
pediment to schemes of a united
anti-Bolshevist crusade which ex-
lists In certain quarters abroad, and
second, those quarters include a
terrorist, section which would not
stick at murder to attain its ends.
From the Bolshevist angle this af-
fair is parallel, in fact. to the charges
made against Karl Vanek, secretary
OF the Czechoslovakia Legation here,
a few months ago of trying to suborn
Russian to attack the japanese
ambassador. Foreigners were mostly
inclined to regard these charges as
exaggerated, but the present case
offers good measure of conflrma-
ton"

tivity Of Harry S. Toy, Wayne County
prosecutor:
"The wholesale arrest of every
known Communist in Wayne
County was ordered by Toy, who
declared no mercy will be shown
those responsible for the riot. He
threatened manslaughter or murder
prosecution for them"
This same Toy whitewashed the
gapgsters who killed Buckley, radio
announcer who was shot by Detroit
gunner on the night of the election
Of Mayor Murphy. This same Toy
who in the midst Of the trial against
the gangsters asks that the case be
dropped because facts we're coming
out that involved the whole Murphy
regime in graft and corruption, now
says he will order wholesale arrests
and prosecutions of Communists be-
cause some of them led hungry work
ers in the demand for work or bread.
One Of the pieces Of evidence that
the Ford officials are manufacturing
with the help of Mayor Mtrphy's
police and Toy is the lie that the
workers fired shots. Not a single
worker had gun. Not a shot was
fired from the ranks OF the demon
strators. This fact is established
beyond question by the capitalist re-
porters who were present Not one
says the workers fired a single shot.

Z eep Ranks Solid
Against Boss Terror;
Save Daily Worker

The capitalist press is trying to whitewash
Ford and Mayor Murphy!
The bosses fear the united power of the work
ers and hope to crush the workers demonstrations
and revolutionary unions before the workers grow
any stronger
This is the reason for the Detroit massacre
This is the reason for the increased falling and
numbering in Kentucky. This is the reason for
the gangster invasion of the New York office Of
The Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union.
This is the reason for the police attack or
yesterdays demonstration in front of the Ford
offices in New York
The Daily Worker exposes the capitalist lies
and rallies the workers into bigger mass demon
strations, into stronger revolutionary unions. The
Daily Worker leads the workers to fight the
bosses terror and starvation.
Financial difficulties are Gripping the Daily
Worker, threatening to suspend the Daily
Worker altogether. Suspension of the Daily
Worker would mean weakening of the workers
struggles, Suspension Of the Daily Worker would
mean better chance for the bosses to carry
through their program Of crushing the workers'
struggles through nationwide terror.

front our weaknesses and shortcom-

achievements. The active participa-
ton of Comrade Foster in the confer
ence, and the appearance of Mother

and weight TO the conference. i
Decisions of Conference.
Not only did the conference ex-
anime our past activities, but also
worked out program for the coming
six months. The NEST important deci-
sions of the conference were as fol-
lows:
!. To proceed immediately TO
strengthen our organizations in the
marine, metal and transport indus
tries, and the formation of league
of chemical workers The TUUC
must give concrete political and or
ganizationaI guidance and leader
ship in order to accomplish this
task.
2. To develop the whole work OF
the unions and leagues on shop,
ship, factory and job basis. To treble
the number of shop groups in large
factories, especially in the metal
plants in New York and New Jer-
sey. To improve the functioning of
our present shop groups.
3. To Immediately improve cur
organizing activities among the un-
employed, the setting up of unem-
ployed organizations in the building
trades, marine, shoe, food and metal
industries.
4. To develop and organize
broad united front movement
against injunctions.

unions, the TUUC should call in

the cops surged around trying tc
knock him down.
Thousands of workers and specta-
tors began to flood the streets. Two
riot squads, with sirens shrieking, ar
rived. The cops jumped off WELDING
their clubs, hitting at a number of
workers, pushing the demonstrators.
The banners we're torn up by the po-
lice, but the workers shouted their slo-
gans and protests against the murder
Of hungry workers by Ford private

Later a mass demonstration was
held at Columbus Circle in which the
workers we're urged TO build up their
ranks, TO organize a larger mass
movement Of the unemployed to
make impossible such unprovoked
and bloody attacks against hungry
workers when they demand work or
food. Here, too, after several speakers
had addressed the audience, one Of
the riot wagons, sirens screaming,
drove directly through the crowd at
20 miles per hour. The workers. how
ever, reformed their ranks and
marched back TO the Ford offices for
a final demonstration.
One worker was arrested defending
himself against police attack.

The weakest link in the conference, as

as well as the TUUC adopted the po-
