HARLEM RELIEF
BUREAU OPENED
BY MASS ACTION

NEW YORK.-With the establish
ment of an additional Home Relief
Bureau at 124 Street and Lenox Ave,
the Upper Harlem Unemployed
Council has won a hard fought
triumph. Workers previously had to
trudge from all parts of Harlem to
the Relief Bureau, located at 125 st.
and Third Avenue. Another Bureau
is demanded by the Council for the
hundreds of workers above 135th ST.
This victory points the way to
achieving point 10 in the Workers
Relief Ordinance, which says: RE
lief stations shall be established
wherever $50 or more unemployed
make known the need for such sta
lions in their community" The final
draft of this Ordinance to be pres

take place August 10 at Irving Plaza.
Workers organizations are urged to

The general principles of the agree

in such completely German concerns

A. Mentzing, an important official
and leading member Of the Amer
lean Nal organization, has instituted
a Fascist "N.S.B.O.," or Nazi shop
organization, precisely on the pattern
of the German ones.
The most important phase of this
program is the money-raising phase.
The capacities for propaganda Of the
Nazi organizations are very small,
although they publish number of
papers in German and in English.
They are first of all the American
collecting agency of the Nazis.
The first employment of the money
they raise, after the extravagant ex-
penses of the gentlemen" of the
"Kultlrbund" are met, is to send it
to Germany. They are allowed to
retain here sufficient for a rather
modest propaganda campaign-to
finance their papers, pay for rent of
halls, postage, leaflets, etc.
American Auxiliary
The organization also has an
American auxiliary, the Friends Of
New Germany, headed by Colonel
Edwin Emerson, with headquarters in
the Whitehall Building, IT Battery
Place, the same building which
houses the German Consulate, with
which Emerson keeps in intimate
contact.
The president of the "Kulturbund"
is George Schellenberg, adventurer
and ex-movie actor, who lives at the
George Washington Hotel and has a
big job in department store, where
he is notorious for his vicious man
ner Of treating the workers under
him. He was an officer in the Ger

manner, combined with general stu
pidity.

Red Cuban Union
Recruits Masses
Soldiers Forbidden to

HAVANA, Aug. 27.-Mass organiza-
ton of Cuban workers in the revolur
tionary Confederation Nacional
Obrera de Cuba is proceeding
throughout the island, as the result of
the recognition of the union won by
the victorious dock strikers.
The Labor Centers are crowded
every day, hundreds of demonstra-
lions are being made, many under the
direct leadership of the Communist
Party. The de Cespedes government
is for the moment powerless to inter-
fere, and is representing itself as SYM
pathetic to the plan, while attempt
ing to introduce its own men into the
rapidly growing organizations of the
workers.
The central demands of the union
are for a universal eight-hour day
and increases in pay, in addition to
the political demands for non-inter-
ference with the workers organiza-
lions and for an anti-imperialist
stand by the government
Havana newsboys and motion pic
ture operators were among the lat
est workers to come out on strike.
The other strikes throughout Cuba
are standing solid.
The increasing fraternising of SOL
diers with workers, while the gov
eminent is attempting to use the
army against the strikers and to dis
arm the workers and peasants, has
resulted in an order to the soldiers
forbidding them to take part in any
popular celebrations or political
manifestations.

its economic strangle-hold on the new

had been cut to $40, and was going to

These workers had started this
work themselves but the Welfare
Federation seeing an opportunity to
exploit some helpless workers came on
the scene and took over the blind

men have families to support, and
they are the only provider in the
family. The Welfare Federation,
which followed the plan of the Presi-
dent by setting the price OF these
workers at less than the minimum
that President Roosevelt set for the
reforestation camps.
The Welfare Federation tries to
turn the attention of the workers
away from the struggle of these blind
workers, by saying that the work that
they are doing is not work but just
pastine, or sport, some thing to keep
them out of mischief. OF course, the
chairs and the rugs and carpets that
these blind workers make are sold at
profit, or used to supply the diff

ton on war Of the recent congress
of thes International Federation Of
Trade Unions.
This resolution, while excluding
all struggle against war, calls for a
general boycott against the agrees
sor country, which can thus only be
called when war is declared, and
which rallies the workers of each
country in defense of their own"
capitalist class. The workers of the
"aggressor" country are to declare a
general strike.
The main resolution calls for the
resumption of the disarmament con-
ference, and for an appeal to the
League of Nations for action against
threats to peace.
This main resolution, brought in
by Otto Bauer of Vienna, and APP
proved by vote of 291 to 10, does
not contain single word defining
the attitude Of the Socialist Parties
toward the Soviet Union.
A special resolution introduced by
the cleft" wing, expressing favor
able" attitude towards the Soviet
Union, was rejected, only 10 votes
being cast IN support Of it.
The adopted resolution also con-
stitutes rejection of the proposal
for a conference with the Com
munist International on the question
Of the united front.
When the section of the resolu-
ton was read which declares, "Our
International proclaims that it will
not spare any effort to unite the
international working Glass; an in
terjection by the delegates from
Sweden and Denmark was made,
that "thiS does not mean that the

German-speaking New York workers

Tasks Of U. S. Nazis
The Nazi leaders in Berlin have
given the American Nazis series of
specific tasks to carry out, and all
their work is developed around this
present program, which is as follows
First, to fight the boycott against
Germany, which is one of the most
painful and effective Of the inter-
national weapons which have been
modified against the Nazis.
Second, to carry out pro-Nazi and
generally prot German propaganda,
pointing out all the merits" of the
Fascist regime first, of German in
dustries and products, and of Ger
many as a tourist paradise.
Third, to carry out anti-French
propaganda. In America this takes
precedence over anti-Semitic propa-
ganda, since anti-French propaganda
here serves best the aims of Nazi
policy abroad. The main line OF
anti-French propaganda is to make
France out to be "debauched' and
degenerate" nation.
Fourth, to carry out anti-Semitic
propaganda, as part of the cam.
paign to justify Hitler's bloody anti.
Semitism. It is the task Of the
American Nazis to prove" that all
Jews are worthless and poisonous.

Prussia Bully Is Leader
Herr Haag was an officer in a
crack Prussian regiment in Berlin,
where he used to have the privilege"
of shaking hands with the Hohen-
zollerns. He cuts ridiculous figure,
walking around in the hottest days
wearing gloves and stiff collar. But
during the war he had horrible
reputation, and was greatly feared
by all his subordinates. When the
war broke out he got himself safe
swivel-chair job, where he was for
ever safe from having to go to the
front, and fought the war by bull
doing and cruelty against the clerks
who worked under him. He won the
Iron Cross for this.
He came into an inheritance after
the war, which he promptly dissi-
pated. He then came to America to
make his fortune, but made miser-
able failure Of it until with Hitler's
accession to power he got his chance
to try for a bloody Nazi career.
