Police Invade Home
of Washington Worker

WASHINGTON. D. O., Aug. 3d.
The Hoover inspired police force here
has launched a campaign of terror
against the local working class in
desperate attempt to justify the at
tack on the bonus marchers.
At 2:30 a. m. yesterday morning,
seven or eight drunken cops forced
their way into the home Of. local
worker. They were seeking evidence
of Hoover's famous Red plot" and
were looking for strayed veterans to
kick out of the city. They found
veteran. his wife and two babies
sleeping in the house In kicking
the veteran out Of bed, the police
caused one of the babies to fall to
the floor. Although his wife and
one of his babies were sick, the vet
was warned by the police to be out
of the city by tonight.
The cops were SO full of booze that
they permeated the entire house with
the odor Of cheap alcohol. After
failing to find proof of Red plot"
they told the veterans that If he
were in the city tonight, they would
take him for a ride" The vet can't
60, though, because his sick baby
is on the verge Of pneumonia, caused
by exposure during the route Of the
veterans and their families by Hoo
ver's army.

"The Unemployed Councils, to which
thousands of veterans adhere, have
been making the most determined
and militant effort to prevent the
eviction of families who are in ar
rears in their rent because of unem-
ployment. I'd advise the unemployed

take their families to unsanitary,

workers to voluntarily accept I'M

tween 600 and TOO workers and farm

were adopted denouncing the govern
ment's war and hunger program and

HOOVER POLICE
EVICT WORKER
Jobless Halt Eviction
of Negro

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
Terrorism is being used here by the
police and the charity agents to pre-
vent workers from joining the I'm
employed Councils
With blackjacks in their hands,
police forced a forty-year- old worker
and his family to get out of his
basement apartment after, the I'M
employed Councils had set back the
furniture.
The workers had finished the job
of setting back the furniture and had
departed when the police arrived and
caught the worker and his family
alone. The worker was told that
he would be slugged and charged with
house breaking" if he didn't get out
into the street with his wife and
kids. The next morning when work.
ers from the Councils accompanied
the wife to the charity, the charity
agent spoke so harshly to her that
she was crying when she came out
Of the office. The councils, never
theless, forced relief for her.
A victory was won in another case
where Negro workers joined in to
set back the furniture of a white
worker and his family who had been
put out of his home. They are still
living in the house. Hundreds of
workers are attending every open
air meeting held by the Councils.

demonstration, the answer of the
Canadian workers to the Imperial
Conference being held here for speed
ing the war preparations.
Delegates on Road for Weeks.
Hundreds of delegates were taken
off from freight trains and compelled
to walk their way to Ottawa. Every
conceivable means of transportation
was used by the delegates, many Of
whom. as those from Vancouver, had
been on the road for three weeks.
The conference was opened by Geo.
Winslade, National Secretary of the
Unemployed Councils. After a
change of the agenda, which was
made necessary by the impossibility
of holding demonstration and send
in ga delegation to Bennett on Sun
day, the conference began.
Expose Imperialist Confab.
Geo. Winsdale outlined briefly the
situation existing among the workers
against the workers and poor farm
ers and dealt with the repressive
measures adopted against the toll
ers, the prosecutions and deporta-
tons of foreign-bor workers, etc.
The imperial Economic Conference
was exposed by Winsdale as a con-
ference for war against the working
class and the Soviet Union.
A lively discussion followed, in
which almost all the delegates par
ticipated, formulating the demands
to be presented to Bennett.
Hit War-Terror on Vets.
4 resolution against war was un-
animously adopted and sent to the
World Anti-War Congress to be held
In Europe.

starvation was scored in another reso-
luton condemning in the most I'M
equivocal terms the war on the Vet

RED VICTORY
Analyze the German
Elections

The lessons of the presidential

Victory of Init Importance.

elections were not in vain"
Victory of Init Importance.
The elections proved that the Com
munist Party, by conducting a fierce
and relentless struggle against fas-
cism, is becoming the leader of still
wider masses of workers. One-third
of the proletarian class voted red
against the Weimar constitution and
Hitlerism.
The victory is again significant in
asmuch as hundreds of thousands of
workers were won over from social
democracy. 1.-THE success of the
Communist Party" says Pravda, sis
of tremendous international impor-
lance, showing that the forces OF
the German revolution are growing
and gaining strength" !,
Fascist Influence Not Broken.
The influence of fascism is not yet
broken and task of the Communist
Party is to win over unemployed
workers fooled by demagogy. Under
lining the stagnation of the fascist
influence and the beginning of its
decline among the misled workers
Pravda states that the Communist
Party succeeded to win over hun
dreds of thousands of social-denno-
cratic workers getting about as much
working class votes as social-democ-
racy. Its influence in the basic dis
tricts became greater than the So
cia1-democrats' and in some districts
also stronger than the fascists' influ-
ence.
The developments in Germany are
fast destroying all parliamentary il
lusionS which will be further de-
stroyed depending upon the mass
struggle led by the Communist Party
against wage-cuts, against the emer-
gency DEGREES and for the disarming
Of the fascists.
The growing strikes and other
struggles show that the German pro-
letarian masses are preparing for
more effective methods of proleta-
rian class fight.
To Raise Level of Struggles.
Pointing out the contradictions
within the bourgeoisie as indicated
b ythe success of the Center Party,
Pravda states that any bourgeois
government must rule without a
Reichstag. 1.-THE elections only show
ed the Fastening process of shake-up
affecting the system of the political
rule by the bourgeoisie."
The elections once more con-
WINGED the masses of workers that it
is impossible to check the fascist Of
fensive through the ballot and that
social democracy again betrayed
them.
The Communist Party which is
threatened more than ever to be
forced into illegality, will bend all its
forces to unfold the revolutionary
offensive against fascisn, raising the
mass struggle to higher level and
mobilizing the masses for revolu-
tionary way out OF the crisis.

N. Y. District of C. P.
Takes Stems

NEW YORK.-The District Secre-
tariat has taken up the dnanciaFsitu-
alton in the Daily Worker and, in
view Of its critical condition and i'm
mediate need of funds, has made the
following decisions:
la To organize as large a squad of
comrades as possible, drawing in all
volunteers possible from the mass
organizations to visit all organizations
to obtain
ID 81 from each worker who is
employed;
90 81 is to be raised by each IN
employed worker through coin card
to be issued;
(3) To obtain at least IS from each
organization.
(b) The week of August Sth shall
be exclusively for The Daily Worker.
This applies to the meetings of all
Party and sympathetic mass organi-
cations.
At these meetings, although natu-
rally the political issues of the cleo
ton and other campaigns must be
brought in, the center shall be for
the Daily Worker and all collections
shall be made for the Daily Worker.
(c) The sections and units and
Party members shall try to obtain
loans and contributions from organi-
cations and individuals who are in a
position to contribute larger amounts.
I'D All units of the Party and mass
organizations are requested to arrange
small affairs at the end of August
and the beginning of September.
(e) The Section Committees shall
assign comrades Immediately to go to
the mass organizations, but they shall
report to the District Office of the
Daily Worker to learn which organi-
cations have been covered so that
there will be no duplication.
llCu
The District Secretariat has made
the following decisions:
ID That the Red Builders as an
organization be dissolved.
ca That workers who wish to sell
the Daily Worker shall become Daily
Worker agents and be assigned def
mite shops and territory in the sec
tons These assignments will be
made by the District Daily Worker
Office.
90 The District will send the as
signments to the sections so that
there will be close coordination of
the work and no duplication.
The above steps were n ecessary in
view of the fact that there was some
friction among the Red Builders that
necessitated reorganization.
The above assignments will now
mean that the factories where organi-
rational work is being conducted and
the territory where carrier routes can
and are being built up, will be COW
cred and the sale of the Daily Worker
thus be extended.

WHALE FISHING STILL
 IMPORTANT INDUSTRY

The bureau of fisheries re- ports that 355 whales were taken in Alaskan waters in 19, 30, by two whaling stations, yielding products worth $470,- 900, making the value of each whale more t h a n $1, 300. Whale oil, sperm oil, fertilizer, pickled meat and whale bone were the commodities ob- tained, says the report.
 The whaling stations referred to were the Port Hebron and the Akutan plants of the Amer ican Pacific Whaling Comp any. Seven steam whalers were used and employment was giv- en to 190 whites, IA natives and two Japanese, a total of 206. The whales taken con- sisted of 50 finbacks, 191 humpbacks, 76 sulphur bot toms and 36 sperm whales. This was a decrease of 30 from the number taken by the same company in 1929.
 The products consisted of 816,700 gallons of whale oil, valued at $371,272; 121,150 gallons of sperm oil, valued at 45,750; 355 tons of bone fer tilizer, valued at $10,650; 815 tons of meat fertilizer, value at $40,750; 37,000 pounds of pickeled meat, valued at $1,~ $50; and $500 pounds of whale bone, valued at $308, a total of S470,265.
 The work of catching and killing the whales is most in- teresting. Steam vessels are used of heavy structure, a swivel gun being mounted on the bow, shooting a heavy har- poon with a toggle point and explosive bullet into the ami.

WHY
 Boron Presents Problem to
EnRlneers

The agricultural engineer brought water to the desert places in southern California and Nevada and the "desert blossomed as rose." This accom- plished, the years intervening have brought a new problem, and now the engineers must do something about the water flowing through the channels of some of the projects.
 It has been found, after some years of operation, that the water being sup. piled has n fairly large content of boron, an element beneficial to plant life in small quantities, but decidedly injurious when present In too great percentages.
 The continual evaporation of the water over period of years has left deposits of boron, which already have had i'll effects upon the plant life fed by the water.
 The engineers are faced with one of two solutions, either mixing the water with boron-free water or else locating and cutting off the sources of the boron, difficult task in the latter case, for some of the sources of irri- gation water come from underground streams.-Washlngton Star.

Why Steam-Driven Plane
 Does Not Appear Likely

There is news that an inventor has perfected steam engine intended for driving airplanes. Curiously enough, this is reyersion to the earliest days of flying, for one of the first planes had Its propeller driven by steam en- zine.
 Wonderful claims are made for the new engine, and it remains to be seen whether they can be substantiated. It is stated, too, that it's boiler is heated by means of crude oil and that it con- sumes so little fuel that it could re- main in the air for nearly month at time. This seems scarcely possible.
 The inventor claims that his engine will develop one horse power for each pound of weight. and that it will en- able a plane to ascend to a height of ten miles or more. So far 1t has been tested only on the ground, where Its performances have been satisfactory. Soon, though, it is to be taken into the air by a well-known pilot.
 Actually, it seems unlikely that the steam engine can beat the petrol mo- tor, for besides fuel for its boiler and oil for it's working parts it must carry large quantities of water, and water Is very heavy.

Why Ball Revoiyes

In three more decades polished granite ball, weighing more than 800 pounds, atop monument in Elmwool cemetery, Salem, N. H., probably will have turned complete revolution without the touch of human hands. The customary dowel pin was omitted in putting the ball on the monument. As result, winter weather already has turned the ball over IA inches, about quarter of its circumference, in the last ten years. Ice forming in the saucer-like base lifts the ball
 slightly. The sun naturally melts the ice to the east of the ball first, causing 1t to settle to that side, thus shifting.

Why Russia Exiled Jews

Exile to Siberia was not decreed by the czarist government of Russia actually on account of Jewish affilia- tion. excepting that the Jews in Russia were largely suspected of political in- trigue and of insubordination. This. added to the dislike of the Jewish race as whole, served to render 1t prac- tically impossible for Jew in Russian courts or before any tribunal to prove his innocence of crimes attributed to him. All political offenses-and this covered practically all offenses. if de- sired-were punishable by exile.

Why Ring Around Moon

The ring around the moon is halo. While all halos are due to ice crystals, some are caused by the refraction of light passing through the crystals and others by the reflection of light from their surfaces. The differences in shape and the positions of the crystals account for the great variety of halo forms. Those caused by reflection are white; those by refractlon are colored.
