Socialists Refuse
Hall to Friends
of Soviet Union

PASADENA, Cal.-Suppression Of
working class activity here takes the
form Of making it practically impos-
sible for a workers organization to
rent hall or room. The friends of the
Soviet Union meets here twice a
month, with an attendance Of be
tween 80 and 49, and it is hard to
find a workers house large enough
for such meetings.
One sympathiser, a woman and a
member of the Socialist Party, sug-
gested that we use the headquarters
of the Socialist Party. This woman
mentioned the matter to the local
secretary OF the S. p who said he
was sure the next meeting Of the S. P.
would agree. To the dismay and dis
appointment of this woman, the queS-
ton raised the biggest fight on the
floor at the S. P. meeting. The major
ity voted against letting the F. S. U.
have the use Of the hall.
Those that know the hostility of the
S. P. to the Soviet Union are not at
all surprised. The woman sympathizer
has now become a member of the
F. S. U. and is eager to help in the
work. IS. K.

Vet Challenges New

BELLEROSE, N. Y.-Mayor-el
OBrien made statement recently
that when he takes office he will
clean Union Square of the army

am sure that his challenge will be
met by us recruiting much larger
army.
I was present at the demonstration
held in memory of the slain comrade,

endless. I watched the expression

New Unemployed
Organization Aids
Hunger March

LEEDS, IA mass meeting of IN
employed was held at Leeds Friday
night with the help of the Unem-
ployed Council of Sioux City. Block
committees are being organized and
the workers in Leeds are supporting
the Hunger March.
Large flour mills are located at
Leeds where some of the Red Cross
flour is being manufactured. This is
hauled by truck to Sioux City and
the unemployed of Leeds are forced
to walk to Sioux City and carry their
flour back home, making a IL mile
trip, even though they live within
or blocks from the mill where the
flour is manufactured. One case was
brought out where a worker made
several trips, walking almost SO miles
to get a sack of flour. This worker
lived only three blocks from the mill.
The Unemployed Organization of
Leeds will see to it that such abuses
are stopped
The Hunger March will give great
encouragement to our new organi5a-

NEGRO PREACHER
LEADS GANG OF
WHITE LYNCHERS
Betrays Hiding Place
of Negro Laborer

GREENVILE, Miss, Nov. 27-Rev.
George Valentine, a Negro preacher of
this community, lead q mob of white
boss lyncherS which a few days ago
brutally lynched Ed Dunlap, Negro
levee laborer, who had a fight with a
white foreman who kicked him and
fired him when he protested and then
refused to pay him his wages.
Ed Dunlap was driven away, but
later returned to renew his demands
for the wages due him. The white
foreman again struck him, and
reached for his gun. Dunlap beat him
to the draw and fired two shots into
his abdomen.
Dunlap made his escape and after
wandering in the swannps for hours he
made his way to the home of Rev.
Valentine. The hunted worker gave
the preacher his last two dollars and
asked him to get him some food. The
preacher instead went to the sheriff
and returned at the head of a lynch
gang which brutally lynched Dunlap
after he had put up heroic fight in
which he wounded several of the mob.
Negro workers are framed-up and
lynched almost daily in the South for
demanding their wages and resenting
the brutality of the white bosses and
their foremen. 1t is out of this brutal
persecution of the Negro masses that
the hideous Scottsboro frame-up
against nine Negro children was
woven. The Negro preacher in this
case played the same role, only more
openly, as is being played by Walter
White and other Negro and white re-
formists as assistant hangnlen Of the
Negro masses in the interest of white
supremacy of the rober rule OF the
capitalists and landowners.

Notes
By PETER HENRY.
AGENT PROVOCATIVE IN
ENGLAND

Dispatches from London to the
New York capitalist press tell of the
arrest of an employee of the Rus
sian Oil Products, Ltd, the Soviet
oil company in Great Britain, on
charges of bribery. He is alleged to
have bribed an employee Of Sir Henri
Deterding's .Shell-Max British Petrol
cum Co., Ltd, to obtain secret in
formation regarding that company
The Soviet company's attorney sta
ted that his action was entirely with
out its knowledge and that the com
pany was anxious to assist III the
prosecution Of the case.
This affair ties up closely with the
violent campaign Of the British DIE
Hard Tories for the rupture OF all
relations with the Soviet Union and
the expulsion of all Soviet agencies
from Great Britain. After the publ
cation of the forged "Comintern let
ters" and the denunciation OF the
Anglo-Soviet trade treaty comes this
agent provocateur's activities and his
arrest. which is widely publicized as
a Soviet spy" affair. Sir Henri De
terding's attitude Of undying hostility
towards the Soviet Union is we'll
known, and this latest link in the
chain of provocations is another
proof of the lengths to which anti
Soviet Vaccinations will go.

In statement issued today, the Vet
Grams National Rank and File Com
mittee exposes Hines attacks. The
statement declares in part:
"While Hines admits that the pres
ent disability payments are so low
that totally disabled vets are getting
only $40 a month less than $40
week-there are many things which
he deliberately hides. He hides the
fact that the men now getting dis
ability payments are for the most
part veterans who were cut off from
compensation after the war. despite
injuries and disease contracted as q
result Of service, and that it was only
after mass protest that in 1924 Con-
gress began enacting the laws which
give them their present compensa-
ton.
"Hines deliberately hides the fact
that in addition to the 100000 who
are now getting compensation, there
are about 100000 disabled veterans
who are not receiving a cent. Hines
proposal for so-called immediate pay
ment of the bonus is scheme which
aims to swindle the veterans and
divide the disabled from the other
ex-servicemen. But the disabled vet
Grams are also holders of bonus GER
tificates, and they will fight side by
side with the other vets throughout
the country to get 1t now without
cuts in the disability allowances. The
slogan of the hundreds of thousands

NEW MUTINY IN AUSTRALIAN
NAVY

MELBOURNE, Nov. II. (By MalD e.
Another mutiny broke out in the
Australian navy in Sydney harbor on
wednesday, November 9Th, in spite
of the governments precautionary
measures. One hundred men on the
depot ship Penguin refused to
take orders for half an hour. They
declared they were acting in sympa-
thy with the 5000 sailors who pro-
tested against wage cuts on Tues
day in q huge mass meeting in Mel
bourne. The government and the
Ministry of War state that these NUT
inies are extremely serious matters,
ascribing them to Communist agita-
ton in the navy Leaflets were dis
tributed on the warships, describing
the mutiny in the British Navy last
year and calling on the Australian
sailors to follow the British example,
The Defense Minister announced
that some of the leaflet distributors
had been arrested, but the mutinies
took place none the less. Suisse
ouently sailors telephoned the Min
istry, saying that if the arrested
leaflet distributors were not released
at once, a revolt in the navy would
be unavoidable. Efforts to ascertain
the names of those who telephoned
we're foiled by the telephone operator,
who refused to give out the informa-
ton.
This mutiny in Australia is re-
percussion of the glorious example
of Invergordon in Scotland last year,
when the British Grand Fleet was
unable to put out to sea for man
euvers because of the sailors strike.

the tradition of blind obedience in
the capitalists armed forces; the

stand as a brilliant incident in the
history of the class struggle.

LEWIS ADMITS AFL

BY MASS REVOLT
Woll Opposes "Jobless
Aid" Vancouver of
Green

CINCINNATI, Nov. 27.--In a state
ment issued to the press here John L.
Lewis, Teactionary president Of the
United Mine Workers, whose Jack
sonville agreement with the coal OPP
orators signed in 1924 provided a
"gentlemen's agreement" that zoo 900
miners would be driven out of the in
dustry, revealed the motives behind
the American Federation of Labor
proposals for compulsory unemploy-
ment insurance by states.
The pressure Of the rank and file
revolt against the adverse decision Of
the Vancouver convention last year,
the fear of its rapid extension to the
other phases of A. F. of L. policy and
the danger to the positions and s10,-
COO per year salaries of union officials
is evident in the Lewis statement, is
sued against Matthew Vol and 9TH
ers who are in opposition to the pro-
gram Of the Executive Council. Lewis
stated:
Fear for Leadership.
'TThe unemployment situation con-
stitutes grave problem and no other
suggestion for meeting it has been
made by those opposing the insur-
ance principles"
eff a favorable report is not made
and adopted it viii result in a break
down of confidence in our laboring
organizations and in their leadership.
1t would further COmplicate any at
tempt at a peacable and orderly sOIu-
ton of our pressing social problems"
1t is understood here that the reso-
lutions committee, headed by Vol,
is opposed to the recommendations Of
the Executive Council on unemploy-
ment insurance, which reverses the
action of the Vancouver convention
where both Vol and President Green
led the fight against insurance.
The line of division among the del
egateS runs fairly straight as di-
vision between those officials who
represent mass organizations like the
miners and teamsters, and the smaller
organizations of highly skilled and
highly paid crafts like the photo en-
grayers headed by VOL.
