ANTI-BL0CK AID
MEET ATTACKED
BY ARMED THUGS
Bosses Fear Effect of
Drive Against Fake
Block Aid

NEW YORK, N. "a melting of
workers from the blocks of 35th to
67th Streets on the west side, con-
tinuing the Anti -Block-Aid campaign
and growing out Of hte Bryant Hall
Anti -Block-Aid meeting last Friday,
was attacked by a gang of thugs last
night.
The attack was instigated by Tam
many Hall and the bosses, who are
feeling the effects of the Anti-Block-
Aid campaign and enraged to see
their efforts to fool the workers into
participating in the block aid hoax,
exposed by the counter campaign led
by the Midtown Unemployed Coun-
Gil.
The attack took place in the head
quarters of the Council, at 418 West
53rd Street.
A terrific battle took place, with
the workers putting such militant
resistance that the thugs were beaten
off twice After being routed the
first time, they returned with iron
pipes and tried a second assault,
slugging the workers, including women
and children But each time the
workers fought SO bravely that the
thugs got the worst of the fray.
The workers instead of being in
Inundated by this attack should be
encouraged and stirred to a greater
determination to expose and fight
the block aid as spy system aimed
to blacklist militant workers, line
them up for war and bleed them of
their last penny. The assault is
clear proof that the anti-block aid
campaign has gotten under the
bosses skins and they are afraid of
its effect.

as leading speaker, on Friday eve

The capitalist ruling class Of Ala

Government is producing with the
murder of the Scottsboro boys as part
of a wide campaign to terrorizc and
suppress tkc Negro masses and to
crush the spirit of the working class.
black and white. The decision OF
the Alabama Supreme Court to mur-
der these boys is direct continu-
alton by slightly different means, of
the policy of lynching that has al
sady clai- thousands of victims
in this country and which has made
the name of American capitalism
synonymous with murder.
The policy of ruthless violence
against the masses is becoming more
open in the effort of the ruling class
to place upon the working masses the
burden of the economic crisis by
which the capitalist system is being
undermined. The wave Of murder
Gus terror against the Negro people
and the white and black working
class is directly connected with the
preparations rajidly being made In
the U. S. to plunge this country into
the second imperialist war.
All workers, Negro and white are
therefore urged to attend the Brigh-
ton Beach demonstration Friday eve

Sand Nozzle.

The sand blasting process is in ex-
tensive use in many industries, but
the blast which eats away deposits OF
various kinds also destroys the metal
nozzle through which it must pass.
The older form of nozzle had to be
replaced with new one after a serv-
ice Of from 80 to go minutes and its
use was further complicated by the
elaborate coupling which was thought
to be necessary Improvements have
been recently made in the shape and
material of the nozzle and the coupling
dispensed with and the result Is that
the nozzle is now good for eight hours
Of solid work. The new material of
which the nozzle is made is an alloy
especially adapted for this use. It re-
