Embassy in Washington

The Daily Worker presents
today an eyewitness account
of the brutal police attack on
Negro and white workers DEM
onstrating in Washington last
Saturday against the robber
war of japanese imperialism
on China and the impudently
announced plans of world inn
perialism for armed interven-
ton against the successful
building of Socialism in the
Soviet Union. The account
follows
The police attempted to stop
the parade as soon as it reach
ed the edge of the Japanese
Embassy grounds, but the
front ranks broke through the
Gordon of cops and shouting
Down With Imperialism! Stop the
Attack Upon the Soviet Unionw they

Police reserves rushed up with
clubs and blackjacks and began
clubbing the front ranks of the pa
rade. For ten minutes the workers
defense corps leading the demon
stration resisted the attack bare
handed against odds Of three to one.
Three policemen went down and four
others were injured by indignant
workers before the workers were
dubbed into insenSibility.
Police stood over the prone bodies
Of Negro and white girls, kicking
the mand hitting them with black
jacks. Twenty-Five workers were
beaten and arrested for 'parading
without a permit and disorderly
conduct" Most of them were so
badly hurt that they had to be car
ried into the patrol wagons. The
most vicious brutality was directed
against the Negro comrades, dele
gates OF the Unemployed Councils OF
Baltimore and Philadelphia,

compete in the international finals in

the International Workers Athletic
Meet.
The WorkingclaSS athletes Compel
ing in this meet are doing so on the
basis OF a struggle against the Olym-
pics to be held in Los Angeles this
summer.
They recognize that the Olympics
are stage for specially trained cir
Gus performers, used by the bosses
to keep the minds of young workers
of their grievances, and to whip up
a national chauvinist and war spirit
among them. They see also that the
state government which is playing a
major part in the preparations for
the Olympics is the same state gov
eminent that conducts a vicious
campaign of terror against militant
workers, and has been keeping
Mooney and Billings in Jail for 16
years ON a nobvious frame-up; that
the Soviet Union has not been in
vited to the Olympics, and that the
boss policy of jim is carried
out in Olympic competition.
All worker-sportsmen should rec
ognize this workingclasS nature
of the OlylnpicS and should join the
campaign against it by competing in

PARTY SUPPORTS
F.S.U. DELEGATION
TO SOVIET UNION
Important That Facts
of U. S. S. R. Be Told
to American Workers

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The New York
District Secretariat of the Communist
Party has issued the following state
ment regarding the delegation of so
American workers to the Soviet
Union,
'The Friends Of the Soviet Union
is organizing a workers delegation
to send to the Soviet Union in order
that these workers with their own
eyes may see what is taking place in
the Fatherland of the working calsS.
At time when the United States
Government is considering an en-
barge against Soviet products, at
time of extensive preparation for war
against the Soviet Union, at a time
of every kind of provocation in all
countries regarding alleged "atroci-
ties" in the Soviet Union, it is most
important that the workers of the
United States Of basic industry go to
the Soviet Union so that they may
see what is taking place in that
country.
Bosses Fear Success
'The tremendous up-buiIding of
socialism in the Soviet Union, the
successful completion of the first
Five Year Plan and the embarkment
upon the second Five Year Plan are
not only filling the capitalists with
fear, but at the same time are arous-
ing the wonder and admiration of
the workers all over the world. At
a time of the deepest economic crisis
in the capitalist countries, that the
workers and peasants of the Soviet
Union should be able under the lead
ership of the Communist Party to
build up this new system, even
though with difficulty, is iInpressing
the minds of American workers as
well as the workers of other coun-
tries, and therefore they wish to see
what is going on there.
From Basic industry
1.-THE Friends of theh Soviet Union,
District New York, is sending dele
gates from heavy industry and from
big shops t the Soviet Union. The
delegates will be from the General
Electric of Schenectady, Singer Sew
ing Machine plant, Anaconda Copper
Company, at Hastings, "Amalgam-
ated" Clothing Company of New york
and a Negro longshoreman.
Meetings are being held in and
around these plants, but it is neces-
sary that the workers all over the
District gather funds so that this
delegation may be able to go to the
Soviet Union without any financial
handicap.
. Report Back
These workers upon their return
will hold meetings all over the Dis
trict, explaining to the workers who
have sent them and to the vast
masses of workers, organized ana un-
organized, members of the revolu-
tionary unions and the A. F. of L.
white and Negro, what they have
seen in the Soviet Union. This will
be the second delegation that has
come back from the Soviet Union and
will spread the facts about what is
taking place there.

INDEMNITL FOR LOSSES
 CAUSED BY FIRE

Indemnity for losses caused by fire may be had under the following vari- ous methods: Lloyds, Reciprocals. Mutuals, Self-Insurance. Stock Com panies.
 Reciprocals of inter-insurers oper- ate quite the same as the Mutuals. but usually restrict the membership to one particular cass, such as all the wholesale houses in one city, and in this they are like the factory mu- tuals. New members are admitted only upon the approval of all.
 Howeverf, they do not have the same rigid requirements that the sue cessful factory mutuals have, and, while this form of insurance was quite popular for time, experience has shown that where the same de- gree of safety was secured there was a distinct disadvantage in the atten- tion required, and no advantage whatever in cost over the standard stock companies.
 The restriction upon membership greatly reduced the moral hazard which al standard stock companies are forced to contend with, but this very restriction made impossible a sufficient spread of risks to get any thing like an average loss rate.
 It was a case of no loss at all or else one that was shock" or a "catastrophie" one-and the Recip- rocal went to pieces.
 All things considered. says & well known insurance expert, the safest, the best and in the long run the cheapest fire insurance is that writ ten by standard stock companies
