''The Soviet Union
Stands for Peace

1.-THE Soviet Union Stands for
Peace" is the title of the new pam
phlet just published by the Workers
Library Publishers, giving Comrade
Litvinov's electrifying speech at the
Geneva Disarmament Conference in
February. This l6-page pamphlet
sells for 1 cent per copy.
Particularly at this time, when war
in the Far East has already begun,
when the borders of the Soviet
Union have been attacked by the
capitalist world, and when the war
threatens at any moment to burst
into flame throughout the entire
world, this urgent plea for peace on
the part of the spokesman of the
only workers and farmers govern
ment in the world should have a
particular appeal to the workers, who
are inevitably the victims Of all wars.
Comrade Litvinov, representing the
Soviet Union at the conference which
was supposed to bring about dis
armament, clearly demonstrated that
the Soviet Union wants peace, clearly
demonstrated that the workers Of the
world want peace, and just as clearly
demonstrated that the capitalist gov
ernments are not striving for peace,
but are planning for war.
Read Comrade Litvinov's clear
analysis of the forces which bring
about war and the forces of the in
ternational proletariat which are
struggling for peace.

FOR PEACE" by Maxim Litvonov,

BLAWNOX, Pa. - A few workers
from Blawnox went down to see
father Cox to try to get a basket of
food for an Easter present. There
were about 200 workers lined UP in
the basement Of the Cox institute
awaiting their turn.
This is what the takers gave the
workers who were lined up: some de-
cayed vegetables, some old rotten to-
matoes, a few sprigs Of rotten celery
and few other items not fit for a
pig to eat. Each worker was also
given pint bottle containing liquid
that looked like soapy water. on close
inspection we discovered this to be
milk and water mixed.

Even Walsh, one of the biggest
liars in existence, did not have the
nerve to defend capitalism openly.
He got around its faults by declaring
there should be mixture Of capital
ism and yellow socialism, and this
he called capitalism.
Father Walsh tells us that some
day the bosses will hnad out some of
their profits which we make for
them. The OAR. had the nerve to
declare over the radio that there is
no starvation amongst the workers in

NEW YORK.-Intensive prepara-
lions for Anti-War Week have begun

ant workers are being modified to

front committee of labor organiza-
TONS

forces will be summoned for in
tensive house to house canvassing
In picked northumberland these
two days the bulk of agitational
literature will be distributed. This
canvassing will also be OF a weeks
intensive activity. A series Of
neighborhood meetings will be held
Saturday night.
3. Sunday April 3rd, all forces
will pour into the Negro sections
of Long Island and link the anti
war agitation with a mighty urge
to the Negro masses to fight the
bloody murder of the Scottsboro
boys, and express their fierce anger
at the April 9Th demonstrations.
April 3rd will be Red Sunday
among the Negro masses.
4. April 4th and 5th will be days

fares. On the evening of April 9Th
Jamaica will ring with the lusty
and militant slogans against the
boss system of war, munger ana
murderous lynch terror. Thousands
are expected to assemble at, and
march to the court house In jam
aica, where the role of the bloody
American Imperialism thirsting for
the blood of the freed Soviet mas
ses, and seeking to drown out by
murder the rising revolutionary
flame of the hungry millions In
America, will be thoroughly exposed
as well as the more sinister cruelty
behind the bestial governmental
lynching of the innocent Scots
boro children.
All comrades are being instructed
to tinge their agitation with an Or
ganizational content; the workers will
be urged to flock into the organiza-
tions of the class struggle, for con-
crete struggles, now, against war
hunger and lynch terror. In the Gen.
ter Of all this activity the Daily
Worver will be used and popularized
May Day will be made to stand out
as a symbol Of class unity and power
in all these struggles. Anti-War
Week will act as a powerful impetus
to tremendous May Day demonstra-
tionS.

Mclaughlin, fearing the anger of
the $50 reported unemployed who
stormed the federation Offices to de-
mand the right to live, shut and
locked the door of his Office in the
most cowardly way and called the
police to disperse them.
Hypocritically stating that there
are no Jobs, Mclaughlin refused to
remember that he and the other off,
cials were riding around in extrava-
CANT cars, receiving fat salaries,
while the hungry union men were
paying their last pennies in dues to
support these parasites.
The demands of the unemployed
workers were: the right to check up
THE books on the expenditures of
these officials, ETC., the right to meet
and legislate, the right to start
separate union, the dismissal of
three of the four business agents, and
that efforts to secure jobs be made.
Mclaughlin tried to shift respon-
sibility for the granting of these de-
nands to the international Office,
in Quincy, Mass, and tried to make
| 1t appear that the business agents
are kept busy, not pointing out that
their activity consisted in taking
away the last pennies from the I'M
employed union men, in return for
which they received fat salaries.
The laborers, who comprised the
group which stormed the A. F. of L.
leader in their hall, are in a union
which has been in the hands of re-
ceivers for several years, the Cleve-
land Federation of Labor, and has
the most arbitrary powers including
which are the complete abolition Of
meetings of the laborers, the hiring
of and setting of salaries of the bust
ness agents, the imposing Of fines,
the collecting Of dues, and other
measures which take away every bit
of rank and file democracy.
Mclaughlin and his clique are
responsible for drastic wage cuts in
this city. Building trades workers
we're cut 50 per day, the fathers were
cut 50, the garment workers received
10 per cent slash, and so on. When
the stree railwaymen were cut 1914
per cent recently, the officials of the
federation did not uttr a word in
protest, backing to the fullest extent
the vicious cut by the Van Swer-
ingen street car interests.
The resentment against McIaugh-
lin for having shut the door in their
faces was SO great, that when Nc
Laughlin was leaving a cuspidor was
thrown after him.
Mclaughlin was forced to recog-
nize that his betraying kind, whose
interests are at one with his capital
ist masters, who refuse to aid the

they rob the last bit of bread from

STATE RIPS AT
JUDD DEFENSE
Prosecution May End Case
by NightfaII.
BY GEORGE Fl. BEALE
United Press Staff Corresnondent

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 25.-The
state moved rapidly today to COM
plete its prosecution of Winnie Ruth
Judd, nurse, on the charge that she
shot to death Agnes Anne Leroi,
her friend and fellow worker. Prose-
cution attorneys expected to finish
by nightfall.
Mrs. Judd came into the court
room hatless and wearing a dark
blue dress. She took her usual place
at the defense table, twisting her
handkerchief nervously and gazing
around at the spectators. She had
spent Sunday quietly and appeared
refreshed by the rest.
The first witness, John Brinker-
hof, chief investigator of the district
attorneys office. told how he
brought here from Los Angeles the
bodies of Miss Leroi and Miss Hevig
Samuelson, Mrs. Leroi's roommate
Spencer MoXler, Los Angeles
ballistic expert, returned to the
stand to identity the .25-caliber
shell found in Mrs. Judd's bedroom
here. He said it had marks similar
to those found in the trunks in
which the bodies of the two girls
were shipped to Los Angeles.
Mrs. Frank Vance, owner of the
apartment in which Mrs Leroi and
Mrs. Samuelson were shot to death
the night of Oct. 16, identified a
rug from the apartment. A large
piece, blood stained, was found
when Los Angeles police opened the
trunks.
