Following upon Hitler's refusal TO
enter a non party" cabinet under
Won Papen's CHARACTERISTIC as sug-
gested by President Hindenburg,
runors that the Catholic Centrists
and the Nazis would join In an ef-
fort to set up a cabinet under the
leadership of the Junker General Won
Schleicher were circulating widely In
Berlin.
1t was indicated at the same time
that Won Papen SENS to have changed
his mind about defying the Reich
stag to unseat him. This Is inter-
preted as meaning that Won Papen
may favor cabinet under the
leadership OF his present Defense
Minister, General Won Schleicher,
generally considered as the real power
behind the present Government.
If Hitler should agree, the new
cabinet would have composition OF
two Nazis for every Centrist. Former
Chancellor Bruening is reported to be
in favor of such a composition OF the
Government as this is in line with
his suggestion that the Nazis assume

The campaign of Cox took the form
of motorcade trek of the Blue

men, women and children from Pitts

that the priests promise of thous-

ager and trainer of boxers. The
Pittsburgh press says that 'it is their
job to see that no Communists join
the delegates" This is in line with
Coxs order that only those who can
pay their expenses will be permitted
to go the ST. Louis, thus excluding
the really suffering unemployed.
Against Revolution
The miserable turnout shows that
the masses of unemployed are not
wanted to voice demands for a real
fight against hunger. Cox says his
fight is against revolution.
Distribute Leaflets
Workers from the Unemployed
Council made a successful distribu-
ton of leaflets here before the del
egation left. The leaflet called for
building the united front struggle
for unemployment insurance against
the Coxes and other misleaders, who
are trying to steer the movement into
fascist channels. /

WASHINGTON, d c., Aug. Is
The police used the killing yester-

and mass arrests.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug
15.-The authorities have been
forced to permit the Interna-
tional Labor Defense attorney,
Bernard AIDES, to see the nine
Negro workers facing death
on a frame-up charge in con-
nection with the killing of the
park policeman, Kennedy, fol-
lowing his brutal attack on a
group of Negro workers.
Although both AIDES and William
L. Patterson, of the National Office
of the I. L. D., have written retain
ers from the prisoners and their
families, it was necessary to wage the
sharpest struggle to force the author
tiles to grant the defendants the
right to select their own attorneys.
A similar attempt it will be remem-
bered, was made in the case of Or

The defendants have repudiated
the fake confessions extorted from
them under brutal police third de-
gree. The prosecution. however, is
skillfully proceeding with the mass
frame-up. The white capitalist press
has been modified to inflame public
opinion against the defendants. This
is also true Of the Negro capitalist
press which is servilely following the
lead of its white imperialist masters.
Onthe other hand, the entire working
class here, white and Negro, is thor
oughly aroused and the basis for a
big mass defense movement is al
ready visible. In connection with this
case the I. L. D. urges that 1t be
linked up with the world wide pro-
test movement for the release of the
Scottsboro boys and Tom Mooney.

In an attempt to lull the masses
Of workers into passivity in the face
of the new capitalist offensive being
prepared, Hoover stated that the
conference will create a body for the
further spread Of employment"
1t is obvious that this body will be
created to further spread unemploy-
ment, and not employment, by en-
couraging the widest application of
Hoovers stagger plan. AS to the
method which will be followed, 1t is
clear that the Conference of business
committees will recommend he old
method of mobihzing the aid of the

In answer to this conference OF

President Hoover, the Communist
Party is urging the toilers Of the
United States to intensity the strug-
gle for unemployment insurance at
the expense of the government and
the bosses, for the immediate pay
ment of the back wages due to the
war veterans.
The workers must rally behind the
Communist Party in its election
campaign and develop mass strug-
gle against the new offensive of the
bosses and their executive, Herbert
Hoover.
The workers slogan must be: Not
cent to the banks and big indus
trila corporations; all the funds for
social and unemployment insurance.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 15.-The Rueggs
Defense Committee today issued a
statement declaring that the proceed

resumed trial OF Paul and Gertrude
Ruegg confirm the prisoners defini-
ton of the trial as farce. The
statement points out that the accused
have been denied the opportunity for
proper defense.
Faxed Evidence"
The statement further declares
that, first, the three steel boxes in
which the alleged documents we're
found could not be opened by keys
found at the rooms of the accused,
and we're forced open by the police;
second, that the judge used the docu-
ments against the accused without
proving their validity and anthem

trial of July and 6 abound with
mistakes and the court refused to
make an English translation of the
minutes, but insists on demanding
that the accused sign the Chinese
text, which they have refused to do;
fourth, that the court did not produce
any evidence proving that the bank
accounts and post boxes really belong
to the accused, and refused to call
bank managers as witnesses. The
protocols alleged to have been found
in the search of the accused rooms
have also not been produced.

perintendents. In the case of the
Efficiency Unemployment Bureau,
however, not a single worker was
given a days work, although the
average fee demanded was SIS.
Tammany police have by their re-
fusal to interfere with the racket
given it their sanction. Some of the
defrauded workers went to the Tooth
Street Police Station to register their
complaints against the gyp agency,
but the cops refused to listen to
them. Other workers we're similarly
treated at the 47th Street police sta
tion when they sought to make out
complaints against the a gency.
The case of Albert Carteret, a
gassed war veteran, is typical Of the
others. He paid the agency SIS for
a job as superintendent that was to
pay SOS a week. He was sent to a
Mr.. Kitson, sio West End Avenue,
but found that no such person lived
there Another worker, j. Kendall,
handed over his rent money, SIS, and
spent several hours hunting his sup
posed employer before he realized
that he had been defrauded. r..
Andrews paid his last $40 and Dor
rowed SIS more to pay for a supposed
job at an address that didn't even
exist. Andrews has seven-week- old
sick baby.
Rely on Daily Worker
A large group of the defrauded
workers came to the Office of the
Daily Worker because, they said, they

LOS ANGELES, Aug. IS. - The
demand for the freedom of Tom Moo
ney was thrust. into the faces Of the
representatives of the imperialist ma
lions of the world when six workers,
dressed in track suits, crashed their
way onto the track of the Olympic
Stadium and circled the cinder path
with Free Tom Mooney" signs on
their backs.
The runners shouted demands in
front of the packed stadium which
marked the ending of the 1882 Olym-
pic Games. All of the runners, four
men and two wemen, were arrested
as the officials tried to drown the eff
feet of the demonstration by the
playing of patriotic song.

Shoe BOSS
DEMOCRACY
IS A TRICK
Endicott-Joh In
Flowery Promises,
But Slash Wages
1000 HEAR COMMUNIST
Pledge Fight Against
Cuts, for Insurance

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, Aug. Is
A thousand shoe workers from the
johnson plant here cheered
70 the echo while William z. Foster,
Communist candidate for President,
tore the mask of demagogy off the
face of President johnson OF the
shoe company.
This meeting, yesterday in Lithu-
anian Hall, was the first the Com
munist candidate addressed after his
arrest in Scranton on Friday. In
Scranton Foster had announced that
he would attack the proposed 20 per
cent wage-cut on the coal miners
and the additional per cent wage
cut on railroad men, both of which
reductions are being put through
with the cooperation of A. F. OF l..
and Railroad Brotherhood officials.
So the Scranton police smashed the
meeting and arrested Foster.
Continues the Fight.
He took up the same fight against
wags cuts, however, in Binghamton.
After an exposure of the lies IN
Johnsons flowery newspaper articles
and the treachery in Endicott-John-
sons fake welfare schemes, Foster
proved by figures that workers gen.
orally have received a so per cent
lowering of their living standards In
the last two years. This is what
they got instead of the industrial
democracy" that President johnson
continually harps on. Foster then
used the example in the railroad and
mining industries to show that the
wage-cutting program had not ended,
and that Endicott- Johnson would
meet his discharged employees with
bullets Just the same as Ford did al
ready this year.
Eleven Cents Day.
Foster pointed to the eleven cents
a day relief which the City OF
Binghamton gives part of the unem-
ployed shoe workers here, as most
vicious starvation policy. He called
on the Binghamton jobless to organ
ize their unemployed councils, and to
the shoe workers to organize to fight
wage-cuts through the leadership OF
their own committees, and by joining
the Shoe and Leather Workers In
dustrial Union. He showed the work.
ers that of all the political parties
in the election campaign, only the
Communist Party comes out in its
platform for Unemployment and So
cial insurance at the expense of the
state and the employers" and
against Hoover's wage cutting pol
ICY" Furthermore, only the Commu-
mist Party plunges into the day to
day struggle on the side Of the job
less fighting for relief and insurance
non the side of the workers resisting
|Enew wage-cuts.
Foster named the preacher, Wilson
who recently sold out a strike, as
the type of stool-pigeon which the
employers use to divide the workers
in the unorganized industries.
The Binghamton shoe workers gave
Foster big welcome and pledged to
support the Communist platform.

BUILD MINE AND
METAL UNIONS,
FORD'S MESSAGE
Thousands Cheer In
Pennsylvania Towns
for Communist

ANBRIDGE, Pa, Aug. IS
Smashing through all Jim-Crow poll
cies here, hundred Negro steel
workers came with 1000 other steel
workers from all over Beaver Valley
to the picnic here at which James w.
Ford, Communist candidate for
President, and himself a Negro
worker, was the main speaker.
Ford reported to them of the ma
tional convention then going on in
Pittsburgh to form the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union.
Ford was a fraternal delegate to the
convention.
Ford reminded the steel workers of
the sweeping wage-cuts in their in
dustry, and the more drastic though
less advertised day-to-day depart
mental and mill cuts which have
Slapped their strength by starvation.
He called for organization and strug-
gle, for the union and unemployed
councils.
Ambridge is controlled by the Am
erican Bridge Co. Very little relief
was ever given the jobless here, and
recently the soup line was cut off
altogether. A fight by the Unem-
ployed Council forced its restoration.
Defy Company Spies
Stool pigeons of the Jones &
Laughlin Steel Co. tried to terrify
the steel workers and spoil Ford S
meeting but did not succeed. The
fighting spirit of the workers is
growing.
Many groups in FordS audience
had come in from surrounding towns.
Many joined the Communist Party,
especially Negro workers being anxi-
Gus to join.
