Raid Recalls Recent Robbery Of
Hunter Institution BY
Bandit Quartet

Hatton, N. D., Sept. 14.-(P)-Em-
phasizing their demands with pistol
shots, two unmarked bandits robbed
the Merchants National Bank here
Of about 81 900 at 1889 a. m. Wed.
nesday, forced bank workers into
their waiting car and escaped.
The car raced southwark out OF
town while the robbers forced Her
bert Nash, bank cashier, to stand
on the running board to shield the
driver from possible pursuers' bull
lets. In the back seat with second
bandit was the bank president. Carl
Anderson while Garven Olson sat by
the driver. .
Three miles south of Hatton on
highway Ia the pair dumped the
three bankers out of the speeding
machine and whirled southwark in q
cloud Of dust. The two are driving
an eight-cylinder Chrysler sedan
bearing Minnesota license plates
B 1898. The car is dark blue
color.
The robbery was the second within
a 50-mile radius in two weeks.
Four bandits, two of them women
who sprayed the streets with ma
chine gun bullets, escaped after
robbing the Bank of Hunter OF
$1,109.25. AS the bandit car swerved
down the streets of Hunter with q
hail of bullets blazing from the gun
one Of the bullets nicked Walter
Smerud. Hunter citizen.
H. H. Carr fired four times at the
fleeing machine.
Hunter is about 40 miles south Of
Hatton. Both are on the Casselton-
Hatton branch of the Great Northern
railroad. =
A possibility exists that the same
gang which robbed the Hunter bank
was at work Wednesday. Both cars
bore Minnesota licenses and two men
were involved in each stickup.

their hopes for the success of the
strike on the expectation that the
workers all over the country will
rally behind them. The continued
preparations for Unemployment In
Surance Day ON Feb. demand the
uniting of all workers, employed and
unemployed. The Party mass re-
cruiting drive, which begins next
week, demands broad base of Daily
Worker subscriptions. Congress
opened again yesterday, and the
danger OF fascist laws against the
workers is now very near. The court
decision in the Scottsboro case Is
due soon, and thousands of new
forces must be drawn in for mass
demonstrations without delay.
To all these demands and to the
constantly increasing wage-cuts our
answer must be-MORE SUBSCRIP-
TONS TO THE DAILY WORKER,
more Socialist competition by the
units, sections, districts and mass or
CARNATIONS, more friends of the
Daily Worker groups, more canvas
sing OF workers In shops and at their
homes, a bigger and stronger united
front by the workers, led by their
own paper, the Daily Worker.

British Imperialists Kill Two

ranks were apparent in Northern
India before Mahatma GandhPs
arrest. In the United Provinces
new 'nO-rent campaign has caused
series of differences among Con-
gress politicians, who fear 1t will
set the landlords against the Con-
gress party and win sidetrack the
proper development of the Nation
list movement"
Gandhi and Nehru represent the
lal. dlords who do not want the mill
lions of Indian peasants to call a
'no-rent' strike. Nevertheless these
struggles are growing. 1t is these
peasant uprisings, led by the revolu-
tionary party OF the Indian prole-
tariat, the Communist Party, that
will develop the real revolutionary
movement for the overthrow OF
British imperialism.
In England, tn eLabor Party is
again exposing its complete subser-
vience to British Imperialism. George
Lansbury, leader OF the Labor Party
his najesty's official opposition
simply "deplores" Gandhi's arrest
and the new iron measures against
the Indian masses. With the usual
liberal phrases that Macdonald used
to prepare the present wave OF sup
preston, Lansbury tries to hide from
the British workers the enormity of
the new war measures against the
Indian people.
So far as Gandhi himself is con-
cerned, he is treated with the ut
most care by his British collabora-
tors. An Associated Press dispatch
from India reports: "Gandhi seemed
pleased at being taken to Yerawada
prison, for it was there last year
that he said the British had made
him 'pampered prisoner giving
him a number of comfortable rooms
instead of an ordinary cell"
How different from the treatment
OF the Indian workers and peasants
vino are arrested and tortured saw
agely.

CHARITY DENIES
NEGRO RELIEF
Salvation Army Sent
Cops to Jail Him
by a Worker Correspondent

WILMINGTON, Del.-The follow
ing information was handed to me by
a member of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil:
W. H. Lee. an unemployed Negro
worker. went to the Salvation Army
for q basket of food for Christmas
day. The Salvation officials told him
that they would have to investigate
his case.
When he came back again he was
told that some one called to see him,
but no one was home (Which, Of
course, is not true) and that if any
of the baskets were left he would get
one on the following day.
The next day he returned and upon
seeing many baskets full of food,
asked for one. The Salvation Army
officials thereupon called two police
men and told them to take the Negro
worker out OH the grounds that he
wGs a nuisance.
For the last week or SO the Will
mh1gton papers have been full OF
stories of the wonderful things the
Salvation Army has been doing for
the unemployed.

Conditions in the silk mill are not
