Declare Lives Saved
Under LID Leadership

MORGANTOWN, w. Va Nov. 30.
-Orloff and Opeck in a joint state
ment issued today, greet the Inter
national Labor Defense. the Daily
Worker and other organizations and
individuals whose combined mass
pressure saved them from legal lynch
ing at the hands of the West Vir-
girll courts.
These two militant miners were
framed for their militant strike ac-
tivities on charge of numbering a
company guard. The prosecution,
backed by the coal companies, de-
termined to terrorize the striking
miners by imposing death sentence
on Orloff and Opeck.
Under pressure of the workers led
by the International Labor Defense,
the court was compelled to release
Opeck. Orloff, who was found guilty
of involuntary manslaughter," will
be sentenced in two weeks. The let
ter of the two working class fighters

BEDFORD, Ind, Nov. 80 "A huge
crowd gathered to greet the National
Hunger Marchers of Columns 2, 3,

and greeted the marchers with a
fireworks display. The mayor had
made many threats, and had big

addressed a mass meeting. and then
came on to Bicknell, in the heart of
the Indiana mining fields.
A long procession Of miners and
other workers of Bicknell came out
of town in autos, to welcome the
marchers, and escourted them back
into town and all around the streets.
The marchers stopped at the po-
lice parking lot, lined up in column
of fours and marched on foot to the
hall where Bicknell workers provided
them with good hot lunch.
They marched again in the eve
ming to Eagles Hall, the largest in
the town and crowded to capacity.
The mass meeting demanded that
District OF Colombia officials admit
the marchers to Washington and
that congress receive their demands.
Columns 2, 3 and 5, merged into

WORKER CORRESPONDENTS
Chats with Our
WOrcOrrS

In the course Of the agitation and
actual participation in the organiza-
ton of the Hunger March, Daily
Worker readers. undoubtedly, make
new contacts with workers or farm
ers.
These contacts should be retained
by bringing to them copies of Daily
Workers and other literature. If
necessary, some time should be spent
with them to explain things on which
they are not quite clear. Very often
a visit into their homes will involve
the wife and even the children in
the discussion. If the new contacts
ask questions that the reader him
self is not yet clear on, the Daily
Worker will only be glad to advise
what literature to read on the par
ticular subject and where to get it.
The agitation for the Hunger
March should be used to interest
more workers and farmers in buy
ing and subscribing to the Daily
Worker. This phase Of work will
give the reader actual experience and
material to report on how workers
and farmers react to the Hunger
March, what is their opinion about
it and also how the Daily Worker is
accepted by them.

Won PAPEN LEADS GERMANY TO
BANKRUPTCY

The One Year Plan of the Won
Papen Cabinet for restoring pros
perity to German industry involved a
subsidy to all industries. This is re-
Elected in the German budget for
1928, which promises to show a
net deficit of 100000, 10000 marks, or
$250,000,00o. What is more, the big
geSt cities in Germany are facing
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Frankfurt
on-Main are negotiating with their
creditors because they are unable to
meet 100000 marks of treasury
bills now due. The city of Duisburg-
Hamborn has already announced
that it will be unable to pay either
city salaries or welfare relief unless
1t receives financial aid at once. The
only way out of the financial crisis
the bourgeois parties dncluding the
Nazis and the Socialists) know Is to
levy fantastic taxes on the masses,
some cities raising the poll tax, for
instance, to 20 times the normal rate.
This summarizes the success (?)
Of Papen's plan for recovery. The
growing economic bankruptcy of
German capitalism will most GER
tainly result in ever-growing mass
struggles against wage-cuts, in rent
strikes, and demonstrations of pro-
letarian revolt this winter in Ger
many.

ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Since I am in

two years than 1 learned in 81 years

Negroes on the streets and the COM

ers.
I got AZ days in the workhouse,
and when I came out was real
Red. Now 1 know how to fight and
when to fight. That time I did not
know anything about the boss class,
but now I have helped put the Party
on the ballot in Chicago and in st.
Louis, The work was hard, but I
would not stop Party work till I am
dead.
This is my Party. Mr.. Hoover did
not say word about unemployment
We say this to Hoover-we want

want social insurance.
I want Mr.. Hoover to pay for my
father, who they killed in Alabama

K e eper in M i CHI.

ST. PAUL. Minimizing a new
member of the WESL, would like
to tell of my first experience in try
ing to help the National Rank and
File Veterans in their fight for the
bonus. I was on the committee with
two other comrades who went out to
solicit business houses for small ar
ticles for use as door prizes at a
benefit dance.
Most of these places were willing
to donate except the Kresge and
10. Upon stating our mission to the
manager he became angry and told
us that we should be puoud of having
a chance to fight for our country and
and not be asking for the bonus. He
denounced the veterans for parading
behind the Hoover parade when that
fellow came to town. He said we
should have shown him some respect
and courtesy.
From the way he spoke I could not
help but think that he must have
been high officer in the army and
receiving his retirement pay.

MORE PRESS TERROR IN
GERMANY

After the 9-day suppression of the
"Rote Fahne" during the Berlin
traffic strike, the Prussian police has
now suppressed the International -
theoretical organ of the Communist
Party for six months, until May, 1888
The suppression was occasioned by
an article discussing the results of
the XII. Plenum of the Executive
Committee of the Communist Inter
national and the ensuing tasks fac
ing the German Communist Party.
The German dictatorship is afraid
of even theoretical discussion in
Communist monthly publications
Such terror is only the expression OF
fear. This new suppression will not
prevent the German Communist
Party from planning successful pro-
letarian defense against the capitalist
offensive.

The persistent struggle Of the job

tiles to promise food for the march
ers of both columns, to appropriate
$50 for lodging meeting places, and
for gasoline for the trucks, and to
grant the School Auditorium for

Many cities in western Pennsylya-

Gals Of Uniontown in the steel trust
county of Fayette, still refuse, as
does the city government OF Steu-

When the columns march into
Pittsburgh, they will find a big mass
meeting of local workers to greet

Socialist Leaders
Hamper Hunger
March Preparations

PRINCETON, N. 1.-THE Socialist
Club Of Princeton University held a
meeting in the town here in the Ne
gro Y. M. G. A., which was attended
by all the Socialist Party leaders
from Trenton branch or section one.
The purpose was to turn the Social
ist Club into Socialist Party section
unit, to be known as section two of
the s. P.
The student who is president of
the club allowed me to speak at this
meeting on the Hunger March. When
L began to make the appeal for sup
port Of the march, the S. P. leaders
did not know who I was. When
finished speaking, one Of the Tren-
ton leaders, McDeVitt, was so mad he
gave the student president hell for
letting me speak for the Hunger
Marchers and for letting me into the
meeting. Another leader jumped up
and stopped the comrade who had
started to take up a collection.
McDevitt asked the young student
why he had allowed these Commu-
nists to come in and break up their
meeting, etc. had simply explained
that the capitalist class had sem
fenced 100000 workers and their
families to death by starvation and
exposure, and that if they (the stu
dents and professors) did not ap-
prove of this sentence, they should
support the Hunger March.
After the meeting was over Nc
Dewitt and few more of the leaders
from Trenton came over to me and
started to attack the G P. I told
them they were bunch Of mis-
leaders. I told them the rank and
file of their party we're in sympathy
with the revolutionary movement, so
then they saw some Of the students
listening and they beat it. McDevitt,
S. P. leader, pretends he is in SYM
pathy with the March.

International
Notes
BY PETER HENRY.
WHAT is BEHIND DIS
ARMAMENT

The Disarmament Conference In
Geneva is still struggling along en-
deavoring to find q formula which
will successfully conceal its complete
failure to- disarm the inperia1ist
powers. Some facts have recently
come to light which do much to ex-
plain why no capitalist plan for dis
armament can be anything but a
move to deceive the masses OF the
people.
The Yearbook of the Trade in
Arms for 1880 published by the Sec
retariat Of the League Of Nations
(the great powers have not yet re-
leased their 1881 and 1882 figures)
shows total exports in 1880 OF
$55 100000 while the imports total
only $49,O00,00O leaving $4,000, 900
unaccounted for. This means that
governments, which are the only ones
normally authorized to import arms,
are concealing the true extent OF
their ornaments; for reasons Of mi
litary secrecy they refuse to divulge
their arms purchases.
In the three great imperialist
countries, France, Britain, and the
United States, rs cents of each dol
lar of taxes goes to meet the cost
of past wars and to prepare for flu
ture ones. How Is the world to dis
arm when the biggest armament
trusts make enormous profits out of
the arms trade? The United States
delegates to the Disarmament Con-
ference refuse to allow private profits
in arms to be touched by any inter
national treaty, saying that "that
would be unconstitutional" The prof
its made in arms are shown by the
fact that Vickers, Ltd, the biggest
private arms manufacturers in the
world, had capital of $27000,000 in
1924, while now, in 1882 its capital
has risen to the measly figure OF
$50 100000.
Another example the huge Skoda
works in Czechoslovakia, which made
the big Berthas that battered down
the Belgian forts in the World War,
and which are now affiliated with
the French Schneider trust, have paid
the following dividends since the end
of the War: 1920, per cent; 1921,
8.5 per cent; 1922, 10 per cent; 1928,
10 per cent; 1924, IL per cent; 1925,
IA per cent; 1925, Is per cent 1927,
IT'S; per cent 1929, % per cent: 1929
latter the signing of the Kellogg
Pact outlawing warD 28.5 per cent;
and 1880, 28.5 per cent. Arnaments
seem to be the one business that is
never affected by a eprssion-arma-
ments always sell well.

SOUTHEAST

NORFOLK, Va. Nov 3O-Three
thousand workers, two thirds Of them

declaring he would resign rather
than have this demonstration carried
out" The Unemployed Council wrote
him letter and told him they were
willing for him to resign.
The permit was received by Sylvia
Langdon, secretary of the Unem-
ployed Council just three hours before
the demonstration started.
Exposes Graft
The crowd elected a delegation OF
ten, with Joe Benson, field organizer
Of the Unemployed Council as spokes-
man, TO present the demands to
Mayor Mason and the city manager,
and the City Council.
Benson spoke for Is minutes in
spite of constant Interruptions by the
mayor and city manager. He exposed
the wholesale grating and assailed
Truxton's $50 a day salary while
thousands go hungry in Norfolk.
The city council rejected all the
demands, and this Benson reported
Immediately to the crowd waiting
outside.
Many Of the demonstrators fol-
lowed to another meeting indoors
and voted to go ahead with all plans
for continued struggle here for relief
and to welcome the National March
ers.
