YOKINEN EXILE
CASE UP TODAY
Being Prosecuted by
Chauvinist Bosses

NEW YORK.-Comrade Yokinen,
who is now out on bail having been
arrested and held for deportation to
Finland on charges of being a Com
munist, is coming up for trial on ap-
peals Monday, March It'll, at 10 a. m.
at the Circuit Court Of Appeals, Post
Office Building.
Comrade Yokinen is being perse-
cuted ever since that White Chauv-
mist Trial he had at which he adj
mitted his wrong tendencies and
promised to carry out all tasks given
him. For this he has been ordered
arrested. ~
Since the arrest of Comrade Yok-
linen, deportations have become more
numerous. In the last few weeks,
raids have been made upon Italian
Workers Club in Coney Island, Span
iSh Workers Center In Brooklyn and
Jugo-Slav Center. Workers have
been pulled from their jobs and out
of bed mad rushed to Ellis Island.
The International Labor Defense
sent its protest to Secretary Doak,
condemning his action! We call upon
all workers to turn out to the Yok-
linen Trial, show their solidarity with
all prosecuted workers and to protest
against bosses terror.

called out and the crowd was dis
persed under the police clubs About

tlnuation of what has been going on

police station outside Of one of the
buildings. Cops patrol the street all
day. The entire territory is under
semi-martial law; people are driven
around the streets off the corners
and away from the houses. Again

lord, with the help of the police and
the injunction, intends to evict the
remaining tenants, The workers are

Dressmakers to Mass Picket
Boston Sweat Shops Today

in their thuggish attempt to split the
ranks of the workers and sell them
out to wage-cuts and vicious speed
up, new forces of reaction have been
imported to the Boston strike area!
Charles G. Wood, notorious federal
strike breaker, and Miss Weinstock,
well-known among the working class
for her strike breaking activities
have arrived in Boston to cooperate
with Mayor Curley in his attempt to
break the strike.
The United Front Committee re-
ports that more shops applied for
settlement. The shops having already
made individual settlements report
substantial gains in wages and
shortening of hours. The workers
in the settled shops have pledged to
assist in their off hours the workers
who are still on strike by rallying to
the picket line and contributing
money to the strike fund.

Shop Strikes 3 Months--WinS.
The workers of the w. r. Dress
Co., 253 W. 26th ST.. who have been
on strike for the past three months,
made settlement Saturday winning
a substantial victory. The Interna-
tional officials together with the
Lovestoneites made several attempts
to settle the shop and sent up scabs,
but the determined Spirit of the
strikers defeat all these schemes. The
firm was compelled to settle with
the Industrial Union and reinstate all
workers on the basis of union con-
ditions. This victory of the w. r.
workers has greatly stimulated the
fighting spirit of the other strikers.
Fur Shops Strike.

the urgent necessity for saving the

peria;ist war and war against the
Soviet Union. Comrade AMIR fur
thermore pointed out that the Tag
Day is political as well as financial
campaign, and that if properly plan

why the quota will not be oversub-
srribed and the DAILY saved.

effective a special Daily
Woiker leaflet will be printed and

The Fight of Chicago
JObless for Relief and
the Socialist Party
MADISON. Wis,

MADISON, Wis.
Editor, the Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade: / am sending you
the enclosed clipping from 1.-THE
American Guardian Socialist organ)
of November reporting the success
full united front demonstration in
which $4,000 workers participated
against the so per cent relief cut in
Chicago and for which the Socialist
Party is given major credit in this
lying sheet.
It is amusing to note how the
american Guardian" and the Social
Isl Party, who are one in condemning
such vulgar displays" as demonstra-
tons, hunger marches and the like,
when they are led by Communists,
attempt to give the impression that
it was the Socialists and their I'M
employed organization that made the
Chicago march success. Inciden-
tally, at one place in the article men,
ton is made Of the fact that the
red flag headed the procession, yet
later on it is brought out that the
naughty Communists carried political
banners. I would like to inquire of
the gentlemen, when did the red
flag lose its political meaning?" 1t
seems to me that there is no banner
having more political significance
than the red flag, except perhaps
when the Socialists are waving 1t.
Comradely,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1932-11-22

He walked with David to the
Ramsey fields. 1t was safer, for
though 1t was not as fast, Negroes
a-foot can hide easier than a mule
and a creaking wagon, if necessary.

seven miles out of the county seat

Dan Nichols honked its horn loudly,

side Of the road.
