grooming under the most terrific OPP
preston and terror, for the Soviet
Union-the land where the working
class rules. Numerous anti-war de-
n1onstrations Of revolutionary work
ers and students have been taking
place in Japan, he reported, but the
news of these demonstrations have
been suppressed by the Japanese mil
itary censors.
The proletarian cultural movement
In Japan has a large number OF
publications, Comrade Fujimonri
stated, with over 200 proletarian
writer's and more than 10000 worker
correspondents. 1t functions through
several groups, as proletarian writ
ers. proletarian artists, proletarian
theatre group, proletarian music and
an Anti Religious League. One OF
its publications. The Literary News,
has a circulation Of over $4,000
among the working class. The Jap
anese government tries strenuously
to suppress tbs ipresS. There are
also factory circles, street groups,
etc. each with its own publication.
The fascist movement which IS
headed by the present japanese Min
lister Of war Araki, and supported by
the traitorous socialists, is trying to
disrupt the proletarian cultural or
ganizations, Comrade Fujimonri re-
ported. The japanese socialists and
liberals are more and more going
over to open fascisln at this time.
Comrade Fujimonri called for the
help CT the revolutionary artists and
writer's Of America in the fight a
gainst japanese imperialism.
At the close Of his talk, the fol-
lowing resolution was presented by
Liston Oak and unanimously ad-
opted:
The John Reed Club expresses its
solidarity with the japanese revolu-
tionary writer's and artists and the
japanese masses in their struggles

will be tremendously aided To win
the right to distribute relief means
heavy blow against the campaign
Of terror, beatings, dynamiting, kid
mapping, arresting and frame-up.
Therefore we must carry forward the
relief campaign to more tens of thou
sands throughout the country.
How will this be accomplished?
BY adding to the thousands of COL
lection lists already in the hands of
workers more tens of thousands. By
speeding up collections upon these
lists. BY drawing in every sympa-
thetic worker as a volunteer collector
and by sctivizing every friend and
acquaintance.
"At this time we must ask what
are the trade unions doing to aid
this campaign? In this strike we
must push forward vigorously collec-
tons in every shop on payday, we
must hold meetings at every shop
gate-not Just for relief but to bring
the political Importance of this strike
to the rank and file of the American
Federation of Labor and to the IN
organized workers and win them to
solidarity with the heroic miners.
I'VE must also ask the question
what are the mass organizations
doing and what are the language or
CARNATIONS doing? They must check
upon their members and speed their
activity.

In a brilliant address Gallagher
pointed out that workers are justi-
fed in saying they cannot get JUS
tice in capitalist courts, for laws are
evidently changed to suit desires of
the boss class in prosecuting militant
workers.
For more than a month you
have dragged thirty three of these
defendants from Los Angeles to
court and kept twelve of them in
Jail over five weeks during which
time they were slugged and brow
beaten and yet you don't have one
iota of law to stand on. This per-
secution is the most outrageous
victimization Of militant workers
yet perpetrated," Gallagher said in
arguing a motion to dismiss the
case.

WE PUT this question to every worker
w who takes part in the struggles of his
class. If you are such wOrker-cIass
conscious, alive to your own conditions,
alive to the threats leveIed against you
and your class every day-then this ques-
ton should mean, LIFE and DEATH!
And if you are conscious of the necessity
of meeting all attacks, blow for blow, it
is dOubly important that you act!
For the Daily Worker is one of the
most powerful fists in all the struggles
against our enemies, in our attacks on
every front, without it, the main source
of our strength would be gone.
Would you permit yourself to gamble
on the life of a tried and trusted leader
when, with some effort, you could save
his life? No, you would give your own
life-blood to save him. This has been
done by workers in past revolutionary
struggles. 1t will be done many times in
the future.
NOV the Daily Worker is the leader in
IN danger. Without your aid it will
not continue to live. What does this mean
to you?
We ask you for small deed, which
will produce great results. We ask that
you-50,000 of you-contribute so cents
to the Daily Worker. These half dollars
$4,000 of them-are absolutely neces-
sary if the Daily Worker is to continue to
lead and guide you in your daily struggles.
We know that you measure the value
of our Daily NOT IN DOLLARS AND
CENTS but in something far more vital,

REX STRIKERS
REJECT SPLIT
Boss Trick Exposed;
Mass Picket Tonight

NEW YORK Rex Products
boss. whose 200 workers have been
striking for two weeks now, proposed
to talk terms on the basis OF the
Spanish workers not being taken
back.
The strikers meeting yesterday
vent on record by standing vote
against any such discrimination. and
branded the proposals as a strike
breaking trick, n1aneuver to split
the ranks of the strikers.
The strikers then proceeded to ell
t1inate from the strike committee
some elements that were playing the
hess game by urging acceptance OF
II company's terms.
The Company is receiving the full
cooperation of the Tanlmany police,
who continually terrorize the pickets
through arrests and by breaking up
The mass picket-lines. Around forty
frrests have been made to date. In
tpite of this the strikers carry on
their picketing more militantly than
Fver.
The last police attack on the
strikers took place Monday, when
the cops arrested ten pickets. How
ever, the picketline was not dispersed
without a good deal of spirited re-
sistance on the part Of the strikers,
who held their ranks for is minutes.
Those arrested were tried in night
court on the charge of '6Norderly
. conduct" Nine of them received sus-
pended sentences and one was SEN
fenced to SIS fine or 2 days in Jail.
The striker refused to pay the fine
and served the two days.
The Spanish and Porto Rican
workers, who are for the most part
the unskilled. are the special target
of the boss because of the splendid
fighting spirit they have shown
throughout the strike.
They were most bitterly exploited,
were the first victims of the Com
pany's numerous wage-cuts, and we're
the first ones to come out on strike.
The attempt of the boss to discri-
inmate against these militant work
erS has aroused the rest of the
stSakers who pledged not to return
=
to;swork on any other basis that all
Spanish and all other strikers are
taken back.
John Steuben, organizer Of the New
York District Of the Metal Workers
Industrial Union which is conducting
the strike at the Rex Products Cor
pcration. calls upon all class-consci-
Gus workers to come to the mass
picketline this evening at $50 p. m,
which will be the most crucial one
in the strike. Tonight's picketline,
Steuben said, must provide a fitting
answer to the boss who hopes to
break the resistance of the strikers
by mass arrests and brutal terrorism.

Place corner 18th st.

in an attempt to halt the spreading
victory of the dress strike which de-
feated wage cut in seven shops.
Tt was a night of terror in South
River last night, but the workers,
5000 or more, undaunted by the show
of police violence demonstrated until
midnight at the Boro Hall, to which
the deputies had fled and barricaded
themselves, and demanded the muir
derers be brought out. The angered
workers did not leave their stand at
Boro Hall until a large detail of state
police sneaked into the town and
drove them off with guns and clubs.
Groups of workers, however, con-
tinued to patrol the town and it is
reported that two police autos we're
torn to pieces.
Whitewash Killers
The state police escorted the be-
seiged deputies out of town and had
lodged them in the New Brunswick
jail. 1t is obvious that this was mere
ly a gesture to make the workers
think that the state will take action
against the murderers. But the fact
that the state has no intention to
hold the killers on murder charge
was revealed this morning when 1t
was announced that the only charges
brought against the deputies were
charges of carrying concealed weap-
ons. And only two of the deputies
were charged with this The remain
ing 38 were held as material wit
nesSes.
The attack followed militant
strike of over 1,700 women workers
in the needle shops against a wage
cut. The girls were forced to work
for wages amounting in many cases
to less than IS week The strike
is being led by q rank and file strike
committee and is supported by the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial

Sunday the strike committee and
the bosses reached an agreement to
raise the price on dresses in four
shops and rescind the cut in three of
the plants. The women returned to
work Monday.
At noon cars of thugs recruited
from the Manning Industrial Detec-
