direct responsibility for the death
Of three months old Lee Bohme, a
meeting Of $50 indignant workers,

county establish proper methods of
medical attention for the jobless OF

One doctor, when called at 10 pm,
refused to come when the baby was
in a critical condition, because he
was afraid of hold-ups. And the
Nurses Association was phoned twice
before nurse finally showed up, too
late.
The resolution adopted also stated
that if the county doctor does not
show up in an hour after being called
the worker shall have the right to
call in another doctor at the county's

NEW YORK, Dec 12.-Hundreds
Of workers, gathered at the New
Star Casino here Sunday night to
honor the memory of Sen Kata-
yama, japanese revolutionist who
died recently at his post in Mos
COW, unanimously voted to send

ty. MatSui of the japanese Work
ers Club and Yung of the Chinese
Anti-Imperialist League spoke or
the role of Katayama in the Fal
Eastern revolutionary movement.
Clarence Hathaway, editor of the
Daily Worker, pointed out the prop
er understanding of the role OF
Katayama in the Negro question
Katayama, as g. member of the Pre-
sidium of the Executive Commit
tee of the Communist Interna-
tional, was chiefly concerned with
the struggles of the oppressed ma
tionals and colonial peoples. In hi;
capacity as a leader of the strug-
giles of oppressed peoples he was
especially interested in the Ameri-
can Negro question and fought, in
1928, against the position of Love-
stone for clarity in the American
Party.
Alexander Tratchenberg, of the
Central Committee of the Ameri.
can Party, for many years close
friend of Sen Katayama, pointed
out the leading role that Katayams
held for nearly SO years in the
japanese, American and Interna-
tional labor movement.
Katayama took a leading posi-.
ton in the struggle against impe.
rialist war, struggling against thu
japanese robber war against tht
Chinese people, and in the Am.

. NEW YORK-Over 200 workers

strike yesterday against a lockout.
At a time when the leaders OF the

Is actually conducting these strug-
giles. The Mailman and Sanger Shop
was organized about nine months
ago, as a result Of which it became
a model union shop. The workers
have gained substantial improve
ment of conditions and for the
first time felt the difference be-
tween a non-union sweat shop and
shop controlled by militant
union
AT an enthusiastic meeting Mon
day afternoon, where close to 200
members of the shop were present,
the decision for a strike to the fin
ish was enthusiastically endorsed.

fically to assuage the effects of
the following communication:
NEAR Comrade Newhouse,
~ think that it is about time now
that sent in letter explaining what
I think is wrong with your column.
First of all I must admit that it is
we'll written and T know that person
ally enjoy reading it because OF its
literary content ed. Note: At first
the comrade wrote Every well written"
but then he crossed out the very"

The bone which have to pick with
you is that although g story of the
downfall of pug can prove interest,"
ing as feature story for Saturdays
edition, as part OF workers sports
column it is not in its right place. The
fault generally seems to lie in the
fact that the column is a continual
expose of the bourgeois sports racket
and except for the announcements Of
the soccer games and of course the
fostering of a wrestling match it is
run like the sports column of the cap
italist sheets. In fact, wouldn't be
surprised Ii you follow in Sidney
Skolsky's footsteps and end up in
Hollywood describing the rowing ma
chine of Marlene Dietrich.
In the following few months, worker
sport organizations will participate in
the preparations for the workers
Olympics in Moscow. 7 think that
there is plenty of news and stories
which can be built around the SPARTA
kiade. A sharp struggle can be
started through your column for much
needed recreational facilities.
The issues can be raised as fol-
lows: free gymnasiurns for unemp-
loyed youth, free athletic material, etc.
On this basis a real fight can be
inaugurated in the workers sport
movement. Another issue is that of
the interference of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union with workers sports
events SO that there would not be any
interference as there was with the
wrestling match for the Daily Worker.
Interfactory competitions could be
| started. Last but not least, the fit
ting place for sports news from the
Soviet Union is not on page five or
eight of the Daily but in the Sports
! Column
think that the above mentioned
suggestions are the making of real,

racks. Only after severe fighting,
and the threat Of aerial lombard
ment, were the officers and loyal
troops able to recaptlre the bar
racks.
At the very moment when the gov
eminent was reporting a subsiding
Of the revolt, reports from Algeciras,
near Gibraltar, declared that a new
uprising had broken out in that por-
ton of the country. The workers
burned scores of houses of rich ex-
pIoiters and the hated Catholic para
sites.
In all of the struggles, the workers
particularly vented their hatred
against the wealthy feudal ch"~ah,
which is an important prop of the
landlord bourgeois of Spain and one
Of the largest landowners in the
country. The Catholic Church is the
prop of the fascist orou~s seeking
to re-establish the monarchy.
The uprising started in -,arcelona,
under the leadership Of the Anar-
chists and Syndicalist National Con-
federation of LABOR. Communist
and Socialist workers Joined the
spontaneous uprising against the eff
forts of the government to install a
new fascist regime.
Immediately on the outbreak OF
the uprising the Socialist leaders de-
nounced 1t. At the same time, An
tonic Primo de Rivera, son of the
late fascist dictator, offered the SCI
rotary of the interior the use of his
fascist band of 1900 armed men.
The Traditionalists, Monarchist sup
porterS, also offered the government
a band of 1000 armed reactionarieS
The Secretary of the Interior greeted
this offer favorably and took it I'M
der advisement. He will use these
fascist troops if the regular army is
unable to quell the uprising.
In the fighting, the workers par
ticularly made an attack on the po-
lice and Civil Guard. The Civil
Guard was the most vicious anti
working class force of the Spanish
monarchy and fascist regime which
was retained by the coalition Social
ist-Republican government. Over 20
of the Civil Guard were killed n the
: struggle.
The revolt is Widespread and covers
nearly the whole country. 1t is par
ticularly concentrated in Barcelona
zaragoza, the Taruel region, in north
ern and eastern Spain, and accord
ing to the latest news has spread to
the south. In Madrid there have
been some struggles, but due to the
heavy concentration of government
troops and Socialist treachery it has
not been able thus far to advance
rapidly in the capital.
The vitality Of the uprising is
shown by the growth of the general
strike, despite all the forces arrayed
against 1t.
The most militant and revolution
airy workers are supporting the up
rising, though 1t was not well planned
and organized. In all of the decisive
actions, Socialist, Communist, Anar-
chist and Syndicalist workers took
part in their effort to defeat the fas-
cist enemies.
Thus far no direct news has been
received on the role played by the
Communist Party of Spain in the
revolt, though it is clear that the
Communists are supporting this
spontaneous uprising and do every
thing possible to arouse the entire
working class for the armed insur-
rection and the establishment of a
workers and peasants government,
