But the hypocrisy of this demand
is Illuminated by the action of the
Socialist Chief of Police in Leipzig,

other parties, including the Fascists,

This on the very day that Hitler

how insincere the Socialists are in
their fake struggle against the Hit

party that is fighting a real battle
against the Fascists, the Communist

ON THE WORK OF THE
"YOUNG PIONEERS''

Philadelphia, Pa.
Editor of Daily Worker,
Dear Comrade:-
At recent meeting Of the Young
Pioneers of America, I noticed the
following mistakes that can easily
be corrected:
1.-Agenda too complicated for
children.
2.-Inefficient troop leader.
What do I mean by too COM
plicated agenda." First it seems
to me that few of us realize that
children are children and not
merely adults in miniature. If this
were true there would be no need of
special children's organization.
When we hold long meetings,
speaking on war, unemployment,
etc. the children will do as they
did at this meeting, become rest
less and disorderly. I do not say
that we shouldn't teach our chill
dren these things; of course not,
that is what our organization is
for, but I do say that we should
use a little child psychology and
make all pioneer meetings as in
teresting as possible.
Comradely,
&c. w. G., Jr.

as The Federation Bank 81 Trust

But since we have been re-opened
with a Tammany Hall lawyer as
the president, and a Mr.. Shana-

bearable and we have no union.
Salaries are abominably low,
hours long and tedious. No justice

overtime, no extras and this insti-

ESCAPE from the

over the city.
Both on our way and in "Annas
flat, we checked in detail what
had already been done, and what
still remained to be done, and
worked out in detail the order. In
which the kidnapping of the priS-
oners was to be performed.
Our passport bureau was already
working on the document that was
to give the full names of all priso-
ners, and was to bear the signature
of the Chief of Police. We were to
get it the next day. The only thing
that held it up was the file number
and the date of dispatch, which
had to be written with the same
ink and in the same handwriting
as the signature of the Chief OF
Police The enquiry about the out
going file numbers had already
been made at the prison and no
delay was expected on this score.
The document was to be delivered
by won Budberg," while I was, to
call up the warden, as already
mentioned. Upon receipt Of such
an order from the Chief himself,
the warden would hardly think Of
verifying it's authenticity, as the
telephone message was to inform
him that a written order was to be
handed to him personally by gen.
darne captain.
j. All this was finally settled.
The uniforms and the arms were
ordered and were to be delivered
the following day to the same flat
from which our detachment of
policemen" were to march to the
prison.
FOR CONVOY
We preferred to have policemen
instead of soldiers for the convoy
for the following reasons. Police
men were not expected to show
real military snap and a police
uniform was much easier to make.
We knew of several cases where
prisoners sentenced to death were
conveyed by policemen from the
prison to the Citadel, because the
gendarnes were overworked trying
to rope in more human material
for the gallows. The fact that our
men would find it easier to i'm
personate policemen than gen.
darneS also influenced our decision.
The question of suitable quart
ers was also another hard nut to
crack. The attention of all the in
habitants, not only of the adjacent
flats, but of the entire district
would certainly be drawn to any

MOLDER WANTS HELP TO
ORGANIZE TIL. .EE SHOPS

DECATUR, Ill.-The Wagner NAL
leable Iron Co. has diShed out another
err five per cent wage reduction. I
am a molder by trade and used to
work in this same foundry in 1880
and made from $50 to $35 a week.
Now the molder on the same work
only makes about $19 week if he
works every day, but he only works
three to four heats week, which
is only 11a to 2 days. This makes
almost 10 per cent decrease in
wages in the last two years.
This is an .unorganized shop. I
would like to hear from some molder
organizer to give a lift here and see
If we can organize these shops as
there are two more here, the De-
catur Malleable and the Mullar Foun-
tain Fixture Co., for sure would like
to see an organization here.-R.
Editors Note:-This worker, who is
ready to organize the workers in
these three shops should get in touch
with the Trade Union Unity Council,
209 w Randolph ST., Chicago, to
which the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union is affiliated. The
national address of the latter is at
Gil Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, Pa. These
organizations will give him advice on
how to conduct the work.
But the work itself should not wait
for help from outside. This worker
correspondent should try, by cautious
development of contacts inside these
shops, to organize small groups of
three or four workers who trust each
other and are willing to organize with
a view to developing struggle on
immediate grievances inside the shop
The demands should be worked out
by these workers themselves, with the
advice of the Union.

charge OF a gendarme would sally
forth. Notwithstanding the frequen-
cy of searches and arrests then
being made in every quarter of the
town. they still created a certain
sensation on the spot, which would
have been extremely dangerous
both both for ourselves and for
our cause. For even if the authori-
ties should take care TO conceal
from the population of Warsaw
the disappearance Of ten prisoners
sentenced to death, 1t would be I'M
possible to hush up the exploit
for any length of time; and as soon
as the news of their having been
kidnapped by revolutionaries po-
sing as policemen has become
known, 1t would be an easy matter
to put two and two together and
to connect these affairs with the
ten policemen previously seen leev-
ing this flat. BY tracking down
this flat, the secret police would
be given a clue sufficiently Strong
to permit them to replace the res
cued ten by ten other comrades
who would be offered up to the

GERMAN SOCIALISTS VOTE FOR
MONARCHIST.

City elections were recently held
in many Central German cities. In
the ensuing election of city council
officers such as president and vice.
president the Socialists (who had
majority together with the Com
munists in many cities, with the
Communists the larger group of the
two) made a pact with the Steel
Helmet and Nationalist councilmen,
voting for their candidates rather
than having Communist town Off
Gals. This was done in Marseburg,
Hohenmoelsen, Teuchern, and Bit
terfeld.
How b-avely the Socialists are
fighting the reaction and Fascism in
Germany!
