INVADERS SEIZE
NANLIANG, PRESS
ON TO CHAOYANG
Marking Traitors Con-
tinue Their Policy Of
Non-;Resistance

Spreading death by aerial bonn
bardments against the civilian popu-
Iations of several Jehol Province
towns, the Japanese yesterday began
their long-threatened invasion OF the
North China border province.
Japanese troops, using armored
trains, tanks and heavy artillery, dis
lodged Chinese regulars from the
town of Nanliang after a four-hour
battle in which thousands of civilians
were killed and wounded. The Japa-
rese are continuing their advance
into Jehol with the town of Chao-
yang as their immediate objective.
Japanese planes dropped leaflets on
Chaoyang, containing three-hour
ultimatum for the evacuation of the
town by the Chinese forces under
threat of bombardment against the
civilian population.
General Tung Fu-ting, Chinese
brigade commander in Jehol, has ap-
pealed to the Marking government
for aid against the japanese inva-
sion. While the Marking govern
ment has taken no precautions
against the long threatened Japanese
invasion, Chang Kai-shek has an
nounced his intentions of starting a
new sixth Communist Suppression"
campaign following the recent col
lapse of the fifth campaign.
The new Japanese aggressions have
aroused new wave of mass anger
throughout China, directed against
both the Japanese invaders and the
Kuomintang betrayers of China.
The anti-Japanese boycott mavemel,t
is taking on huge proportions in
Shanghai, Canton and other Chinese
cities.
In their invasion of Jehol Province,
the Japanese are seeking to widen
their military base against Soviet
Mongolia and the Soviet Union.
Japanese troops are continuing their
concentration on the eastern Dor
ders of Soviet Mongolia, while the
British-armed and inspired Tibetan
Army continues its progress through
Western Inner Mongolia in its
openly announced drive to attack
Soviet Mongolia.

WORKER EXPOSES
MORE AGENCIES
Calls on Unemployed
to Boycott Them

NEW YORK. with great in
terest I have noticed the campaign
of the Unemployed Councils and the
Daily Worker against the worst enc
mics of the working class, the en-
ployment agency sharks. 1t is about
time something is being done to wipe
out these robbers. You can go from
Sixth Ave. downtown, from San
Francisco to New York, and find the
same conditions, writes a worker in
response to the call of the Daily
Worker for exposures of the racketeer
job agencies.
There are several agencies I can
mention who rob the workers either
by sending them to jobs that do not
exist or that are impossible to keep.
One of the biggest racketeers is Hans
Reuber, at 18th st. between Bird and
4th Ave, the Majestic at SO E. 10th
ST., and his partner, the Claremont
Agency, on Sixth Ave. and 40th ST.,
the Yorkville Agency on 3rd Ave. and
88th ST., Hugo Lenzer on Sixth Ave,
the Central Employment Agency on
4th Ave. and 18th st.
81 could name dozens of others, in
fact they are all crooked, and it does
not pay to do business with any Of
them. Workers must organize and
boycott them, and not give them an
other nickel for fake jobs. Work
ers must expose them.
"a free employment agency will not
be successful until the last shark is
wiped out because as soon as it is
opened the bosses and managers will
continue calling on him in order to
collect their commissions.

workers and vets gathered to hearS
the story of Hoover's Bloody Thurs
day. related by members of the bo-
nus army. Workers cheered the call
for the conference in meetings held
in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx and
Harlem.
Small groups of Walter w. Waters
agents, under the leadership of Fred
G.Somers, a police spy and "intel-
ligence chief" of the B.EF. who is
lavish in his praise for General Glass
ford and the Washington police, have
been busy throughout the city doing
their utmost to break up meetings
held under the auspices of the WESL.
During the past week the Waters
gang has worked hand in hand with
the Harlem police. Saturday night
police were called by the Waters
group to attack meeting at 125th
st. and Fifth Ave. Workers, how
ever, demanded that the meeting con-
tinue and it was promptly started on
the opposite corner.

S$3 to a worker who had just paid
the agency SIS for job that was to
pay $12 a week. The job lasted only
two weeks and paid only $40. The
committee permitted the agency to
keep 81 of the SIS fee that the worker
had paid.
The committee of Is then went to
the Radio agency on Sixth Avenue,
between 25th and 26th streets, where
a young worker had paid 81 for a
job that was to pay $40 week but
that lasted for one-half day, and
forced the owner to return $685. to
the worker. The agency was per-
mitted to keep only five cents.
Workers Attacked by Racketeer
Several hundred workers who had
modified in support of the commit
tee then proceeded to the Sherman
agency at 1183 Sixth Avenue to de-
mand that it refund SIS to worker
who had paid that sum for a job
that lasted only a day.
When the workers entered the
agency to demand the SIS for the
victimized worker, the owner of the
agency picked up, a chair and was
about to throw it at them when it
was wrested from his grip. In the
course of the struggle for the chair,
most of the furniture of the agency
was wrecked.
The police arrived shortly after
ward, but the militancy of the work
ers prevented any arrests.
Hold Meeting Despite Police Ban
The determination of the workers
to maintain their right to meet in
the streets prevented the breaking
up of an open air meeting at Sixth
Avenue and 40th Street, in the heart
of the job market, a. short time
before, after the police had ordered
no meetings to be held. The police,
who are working in collision with the
rocketeering agencies, broke up three
open-air meetings in the job market
on Saturday, which had been called
to demand the elimination of all the
private employment agencies and
the opening of free city employment
bureaus to be controlled by the
workers. The Daily Worker on Mon
day urged all workers to support the
call of the Job Agency Committee of
the Unemployed Council for struggle
for the right to meet in the streets,
and hundreds of workers responded.

AND KILL WORKER
MurderoYs Assault AS
Communist Speaks

NEW YORK.-Miche1 Semen, a o.
year-old worker of 431 E. 18th ST.,
was killed by brick thrown from an
upper story window or roof top at a
Communist meeting at 7th st. and
Avenue A, Saturday night.
The first meeting here was started
by Trotzbyites. They had a small
strong arm gang with them around
their platform, and when workers
gathered in ring outside this gang
and began to shoot questions at the
speaker, the gang of his supporters
started a fight. There were torn coats
and black eyes on each side, but
Trotskyites speedily got the worst of
it, and fled the scene.
Communist Speaks.
A new platform was then erected,
a Communist speaker was sent for,
and the crowd grew larger as soon as
he began to talk.
Word was passed around that some
of the Trotskyites were gathering on
the roof top overlooking the meeting
place, and suddenly a shower of
bricks and bottles came down either
from the roof or upper windows Of
the building alongside.
Michael Semen was hit on the head
by brick. He was taken to Bellevue
Hospital at once, but died at 2 am.
Sunday morning.
Section l Of the Communist Party
in whose territory the slain worker
lived and within which the meeting
took place, is arranging a mass fu-
neral. The exact date and place will
be announced shortly. Michael Semen
is survived by father, sc years old.
Michael worked as a laborer.
In this same attack, another work
er, K = ;NIk, was hit by missile also,
and is in the hospital, seriously in
jured. He is a member of Branch 65
of the Russian National Mutual Aid
Society. He was merely a bystander
at the meeting. He has fractured
skull.
Some Of the workers present also
saw part of the Trotsky gang driving
past in an automobile and throwing
bricks at the Communist meeting at
the time the attack from the build
ing was made.

TO PROTEST CUBA
TERROR SAT'DAY
Workers to Demon
strate in Harlem

NEW YORK.-A mass demonstra-
ton against the bloody reign of
terror being conducted against the
Cuban working class by the Machado
regime will be held here on Saturday,
August q, at 4 pm, at 124th Street
and Lenox Avenue, under the au-
spices of the Anti Imperialist League
of the United States The workers
will then parade to 10th Street and
Fifth Avenue.
In endorsing the demonstration, the
New York District of the Communist
Party calls upon the workers of New
York to demonstrate in thousands
next Saturday afternoon.
A statement issued by the New
York District yesterday said in part:
THE workers of Cuba today are sub
jected to the most frightful and bar
barous terror. Working class organ
izations have been driven into lille
gality, meetings and demonstrations
have been smashed, and raids are
cintinually being made against work
ers homes. Within recent weeks
many workingclass leaders have been
ambushed and brutally murdered in
cold blood by the Machado police.
The jails in Havana have become
slaughter houses. Workers are MUIR
dered in these iails and their bodies
are thrown to the sharks in Havana
harbor.
THE Machado government is mere
ly the tool of American imperialism.
Just as American imperialism muir
ders, lynches and starves the Negro
and white workers in the United
States, so it insvructs its agent,
Butcher Machado, to increase the
bloody attacks on the Cuban masses.
