NORFOLK, Va, April 16 (P)- Today marks the 46th day since the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped. Admiral Burrage revealed John H. Curtis, back from a secret mission, made at least one contact with the supposed kidnappers.

Months Pay for
Unemployed, or
Lose Your Job

NEW YORK.-In Hsllevue Hos
pital, all unskilled workers were call
ed to the Office recently to sign up
for 1893. They had to sign that
they will contribute one month of
their salary to the unemployed. In
the Mount Sinai Hospital, unskilled
workers have to give 50 per month
for the unemployed.
The workers don't want to do It,
but they say: what does So mean
when you compare it to losing your
job"
Hospital workers are underpaid and
worked to exhaustion because they
are divided. With strong organiza-
ton we could resist such attempts
to make employed workers give from
their small pay for the unemployed,
and could force the bosses them
selves to provide for the unemployed.
Every worker who is employed in
a hospital, whether 1t is kitchen
worker, porter, or professional
worker, such as nurses, graduates,
under graduates and orderlies, are
eligible to membership in the Medical
Workers League.
New York hispital workers, we ask
you to join us. Our Office is at ia
West 21st St. Together we will
struggle for better conditions.

MORE GERMAN SOCIAL DEMO
CRACY

In the district executive conference
of the Frankfurt on Main Social De-
nocratic Party, various minor Off
Gals rebelled against the reactionary
policies of the Party's leaders. A DR..
Ewald said:
In the November 9Th elections, if
we deduct all those deriving living
from the party, and their dependents,
We find that the German Communist
Party already has many more workers
than We have
Alderman Kirchner: Our policy OF
federation has brought Hitler to the
top. I have here the district execu-
tive's fighting program against the
Communist Party; in it they are max
ing propaganda again for bourgeois
democracy. Do you believe that you
can fool anybody with that any morep
Particularly, since democracy isn't
followed in our own Partyl"
Alderman Else Bauer: If the policy
OF liberation (of Bruening, Pspen,
etc. continue. I'm quitting"
Thus we see rarlk-and-file pressure
forcing the lower officialdem Of the
German Socialist Party to rebel
against the Executives anti -Commu-
mist and -Schleicher policies. The
strike wave and the sabotage OF the
Socialist leaders is rapidly under
mining the membership of the Social
Democracy.

FARMERS Discomfort IN
ENGLAND

A dispatch to the New York
Times" hidden away on an inside
page, throws light on the growing
discomfort of farmers in Great Brit
ain. They are beginning to refuse
to pay taxes, in this case a 1.-THE due
college of oxford University.
Sixty policemen, some of them dis
guised as farm laborers, set out be-
fore dawn hidden in moving vans to
seize the farmers live stock for taxes
due. The solidarity of the farmers
neighborS defeated this endeavor,
however, for all the live stock, cows,
sheep, pigs, and poultry had been
hidden on neighboring farms. The
police expedition returned to head
quarters with two chickens as the
net bag for the day.
Discomfort among the farming
class is worldwide today--it re-
mains for the farmers to awaken
from the illusion that the capitalist
gevernment will or can do anything
to relieve their plight. They must
fight side by side with the working
class for the overthrow of the profit
system that Is running them both.

Sheriff Golden of Montgomery
County, one of the leaders in the
outrageous landlord police attacks
on the Negro cropers of Tallapoosa

ion, advanced the traitorous action
of the Tuskegee officials as an tex
ample to other Negro leaders, de-
claring:
ave are proud that we have the
same intelligent leadership here in
Montgomery that is exemplified at
Tuskegee Institute 49,"
The Memphis (Tennessee) Appeal
called for an intensified attack on
the efforts of Negro troopers to Or
ganize to better their conditions and
for united front of Negro leaders
with the white ruling class authori-
ties to combat the rising struggles
of the Negro toilers.
1t said:
Race leaders among Negroes
have one Of the greatest oppOrtun-
tiles to do good for their people
if they choose to recognize it."

mist agents are making a mighty eff
fort to convert Negroes to radicalism.
1t is going to take leadership of the
most intelligent and courageous type
from Negro leaders and from white
authorities to counterfeit it"
ut is to be noted that even in the
moment of its appeal to the Negro
refor1nist leaders, the boss paper can
not conceal its chauvinist hatred of
Negroes, but continues the lynch
boss custom of using Negro without
a capital NJ
The boss paper then calls for the
suppression by the Alabama authori-
ties of the Communist Party:
Alabama authorities blame Com
munist propaganda among ignor-
ant negroes as the underlying
cause of the tragedy. They are
probably correct II they are, then
they themselves are TO blame for
permitting Communistic activities
in the community"

Tns "Deutscbe Allgemeine zeitung''
is q newspaper controlled by big
business in Berlin. Commenting on

presented to Won Schleicher, the new
Chancellor, 1t says:
These are demands that bear all
the earmarks of competition with the

gotten that are born out of the trade
unions difficult tactical position, and
that therefore they are really little
more than propaganda material"
Thus the ruling powers don't seem
to be afraid Of Socialist "op-
position" As for the Nazi opposition,
the paper writes:
THE success of Schleicher's prog
ram will depend upon whether he
is able to get the collaboration Of the
millions Of adherents Of the Right
