Exposes Spy System
i'm Meat Packing House
(By a Worker Correspondent

tBy Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK; was speaking to
a fellow who told me something 1
think is worth knowing. His sister,
an unemployed stenographer, was
sent by the Underwood Employment
Agency to job on 18th Ave. near
18th st. with a gang who call them
selves the Butler Better Business
Corp.
When she got there she found two
other girls also looking for the job.
They were told they would have to
pass test, each of them got a sec
ton of a report to type and arrange.
Her part of the report consisted of
six pages.
1t appears that these birds are
union busters. The report was one
made by one Of their agents who is
working part time in a meat packing
house on West And st. The agent
was described as A in the report.
The report consisted of what he
said to the men, how they answered
him, and what they had to say them
selves. He told the men he was a
married man with a family out of
a job and willing to work for any
thing. He told the men he worked
in other places for $12 week and
was glad to get it.
This bird told those men that the
union was arranging to start the
ive-daySweek.
The reason why this fellow mem
toned this is because neither his sis
ter nor either of the other two girls
got any job. This bird Butler YOU
see, is real expert at his business.

NATIONAL CONVENTION OF LID, OCT. SO.
in CLEVELAND TO MAP DEFENSE STRUGGLES.
Growing Terror and Fight for Freedom Of Class VIII
Bring Hundreds of Worker-Delegates to Meet

The International Labor Defense,
through Carl Hacker, acting general
secretary, has issued the following
call for the fifth national convention
OF the International Labor Defense,
to be held in the Lithuanian Hall,
Cleveland, Ohio. Oct. 9Th and 9th.
ITO all organizations interested in
the struggle against persecution, de-
portations, lynching, terror:
"On the 9Th and 9th of October,
the International Labor Defense will
hold its Fifth National Convention
at the Lithuanian Hall, Cleveland, O..
The LID is an organization of mass
struggle for the defense of class war
prisoners. Since 1925 it has carried
on relentless struggle against the
imprisonment and persecution of
workers regardless Of their race, ma
tionality or color, their religion or
their political belief, for carrying on
working class activities. 1t provides
material support for such workers
when imprisoned for their depend
ants. 1t provides defense for foreign
born workers and against their de-
portations, against the national OPP
preston of the Negro masses and for
their equal rights. 1t fights for free
speech, freedom of the press and of
assembly for the workers. Its aid to
workers extends beyond the boun-
diaries of this country.
Wins Many Victories
Victorious mass defense campaigns
led by the International Labor De-
Tense have forced the release of six
Of "the eight Imperialist Valley pris-
oners. Mass defense struggles have
saved the Ives of the Scottsboro boys,
the Atlanta victims, the Paterson
workers and others.
The need for such an organization
grows greater daily. Three years of
crisis and the workers struggles
against unemployment and mass star
Walton has brought vicious wave of
terror against them.
Must Prepare for Tasks
Mighty tasks, such as the defense
OF the Scottsboro boys and the con-
tinuation of the mass struggle for
the release of Mooney face us.
The vigorous legal fight of the In
ternational Labor Defense supported
by mass protest for Fuel Lee Orphan
jones' framed-up Maryland Negro
worker, resulted in a tremendous VIC
tory for the working class.
The struggle against deportation,
against the Doak, Dies -deporta-
ton bill has been led by the Inter
national Labor Defense.

IN DETROIT
FIGHT EVICTION
Murphy's Cons Open
Reign Of Terror

DETROIT, Mich, August 25.-Over
1000 workers Of north Detroit are
still involved in an eviction fight
that started last Friday at 1910 Buff
falo Boulevard. Immediately when
the eviction started, all the Block
Committees of the neighborhood were
notified. These committees modified
thousands Of workers. At the same
time the police force was increasing.
After sporadic fighting all night,
the Anti Eviction Committee elected
by the workers forced the Sergeant
in charge Of the police detachment
to sign an agreement giving the An
ti-Eviction Committee the RIGHT to
approve the house into which the
evicted family was to be moved. But
Immediately after this agreement
was signed, the sergeant ordered the
clubbing of workers.
5 Arrested
Five workers were arrested and
many more, including children. were
dubbed. Reports are that one COD
had his back broken, and another
his wrist. State troopers were called
in, and the whole area was virtually
put under martial law. but the work
ers have militantly refused to be dis
persed.
A welfare worker was sent to show
the Anti-EWctiOn Committee the
house where they proposed to move
the evicted family. This house turn
ed out to be q chicken coup. The
committee refused to accept such
shack; the fight is still going on.
Last night over 1900 workers at
tended a protest meeting in the
called by the Unem-
ployed Council. The main demands
we're: 1. Stop illegal raid Of homes.
O. Withdrawal Of armed forces. 8.
Stop the evictions.

Notes
ZETKIN VIOLENCE

BERLIN.-The fascist "Voelkischer
.Beabachter" in Munich and "Angriff'
in Berlin report that Klara Zetkin
will leave Moscow for Berlin to take
her place in the chair as the oldest
member at the opening of the new
Reichstag.
The fascist newspapers again use
such expressions as Communist bag"
in reference to the 75-year-old leader
of the German working class women,
and declare .categorically that the
fascist fraction in the Reichstag will
prevent the spectacle of "a Commu-
mist envoy" opening the Reichstag.
In other words, they continue their
threats to do violence to a frail old
lady whose name is honored and re-
spected far@beyond the ranks of the
Communist Party.

The town has been turned into an

The street lamplighters are re-
