BRESL7N 10 OPEN LEGION SESSION TO-NIGHT

Plumbers Claim SIO Fee . and Fix Street Exces.

Hylan. repre- senting the Master Plumbers @As- aociation of Waterbury. The two men headed a delegation from the association, pointed out that the $t0 fee is in addition to ethe cost of replacing the pavement and de- clared that 1t Is a hardship on the people who desire plumbing done.
 The board took no action on the proposal but stated that the mat ter would be- taken up with Mayor Frank Hayes. The latter was not present at last evenings meeting.

 The delegation also presented to the board setting forth the above claims and asking that the fee be reduced to about $1, or eliminated entirely. "It could very well be done away with" declared MT Fahey. When the $f0 fee was set up by the city, It was done to discourage, as much as possible. the opening of paved streets. How ever, the plumbers request Is to street and Sheffield street ~-s was ordered at a total cost of over $23,00O.
 Residents of Walnut street ex- tension asked that their street be oiled. The matter was referred to the superintendent of streets. A request for a water main in Huey street was referred to Athe water committee. Installation of sew CTS in Thomaston avenue, Haase street was ordered at total cost of over $23,O00.
 Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming reported that the sewer in Lone Oak avenue has been completed. It was voted to hold a hearing on the assessments at the next meeting.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-04-09
UNDER FALSE COLORS

police. who daily imprison more members Of the
Japanese Communist Party for their wrong
policy" Of fighting japanese imperialism.
But this paper Of Mr.. Oyama does manage to
formulate what it calls demands for the jap
anese workers In America, and true to its role OF
turning the workers attention to parliamentary
illusions, 1t says that-'"The will and demands Of
our brothers in America must be surely reflected
in the Japanese parliament"
The first demand Of Mr.. Oyama for Japanese
immigrant workers in America is: Insure the
daily life Of aged immigrant workers." But Of
course, the insurance Of the daily life OF "aged
Immigrants cannot be separated from insurance
of the workers in general, without unemployment
insurance Of all workers in America, white Negro
Japanese and all others. But Mr. Oyamas paper
carefully avoids saying word fayoring unen-
ployrnent insurance.
Second is Free fare for the return Ito Japan
OF aged immigrant workers" What is the idea
behind this demand? Is it that Japan is
paradise for workers. Mr. Oyama, the social
fascist raises this as demand" but it happily
comedies with the same demand" Of Mr.. Doak
And what would LACED immigrant workers do,
once they got free fare back to Japan? They
would starve to death For in Japan also there is
no social insurance, and neither in Japan nor
in America does Mr.. Oyama and his social-fascst
"Rono-to" Party fight for social insurance.
Third is: Exemption from military service Of
those workers who have been abroad Cfrom
Japan more than three years. And what about
Japanese workers remaining in Japan? Mr.
Oyama says nothing about exempting them at
any time or place; therefore Mr.. Oyama favors
in reality, the enforced military service Of jap
anese workers and peasants to make war against
the Chinese people and the Soviet Union.
Thus, any analysis of these three demands"
Of this fake "preletarian party and its leader
Oyama who is going to America with these "de-
mands" as his program, shows that they are
cleyerly made up so as to give offense neither
to Japanese imperialism nor American inpe-
rialisrn, but only to fool the Japanese worker i'm
migrants in America, to bring them closer to
MIR. Oyams so that he can put war propaganda
for the Mikado into their heads.
Yet Mr.. Oyanas paper in its American edition,
has the audacity to carry in big type the slogan:
Workers and Farmers, unite under the banner
Of the Jenkoku Rono-Taishu-to Party!" Thus
trying to sidetrack the Japanese workers in Am
erica from struggling in America against their
immediate enemy, American imperialism, under
the banner Of the Communist Party of the U, S.
A. and the Trade Union Unity League.
This is the hypocritical character Of the social
fascist leader Of Japan, Ikuo Oyarna who is going
to the United States on lecture tour American
workers will aid the Japanese workers who are
bravely battling their own" imperialism by
telling Mr. Oyama-"GET QUIT"
