NAVY, ARMY GET
FIRST GRAB OF
3,ODO,OOO,W FUND
Ickes Puts Tight Hold
On Rest; Job Talk
Grows Weaker

WASHINGTON, July 10 Score
tary of the Interior Ickes, and Direc-
tor Of the Budget Douglas, who SUI
pervise the expenditure of the So
S00,00O,000 public works funds made
it clear today that there will be no
great expenditures for public work
outside of war expenditures.
"This is not 'come-and-get-it'
proposition" said Iclees, after $685.
100000 had been handed over to the
navy. "These dollars are precious
dollars. 1. e. Here in Washington we
regard this fund of 100000, 900 as
a trust fund. We will not authorize
the expenditure of cent of it unless
we are convinced that it will con-
tribute toward the economic recovery
and the social welfare of the coun-
try"
These precious dollars with which
Roosevelt was going to flood the
country in order to provide millions
of Jobs are now tightly in the clasp
of Ickes and Douglas and are let out
so far only to either the army or
navy.
The war department has presented
a plan requiring millions from the
fund. Secretary of War Dern, COM
nenting on these plans and requests
for funds, said:
Comprehensive plans we're pre-
pared under my direction and sub
mitted to the board of public works
weeks ago. Such ALLEGATIONS to the
army out of public works funds are
justified in the present emergency
for several reasons.
"There can be no legitimate objec-
ton to this class of public expendi-
lures except from those who do not
believe in maintaining an army at
all"
The war departments plans re-
quire over s150,000,o00 for compile
ton, besides the regular war budget
for the army of over $3.50, 900, 900. OF
this "public works" request s50,000,-
900 is specified for INFLAMMATION of
infantry and machine gun units.
Ickes' statement against the ex-
penditure of vast sums for public
works is an answer to the workers
who were told by Roosevelt that the
s3,300,000,000 would be spent in a
hurry to provide jobs. 1t now turns
out that very little of it will be spent
in this way, while it will be held
guardedly as a war chest.

Hearing Exposes Frame>Ub; Terzani Held for Murder

NEW YORK.-Athos Terzani, anti
fascist worker, was held for first
degree murder after the frame up
against him was torn to shreds in
the hearing before Magistrate August
Dryer in the First District Magist-
rates Court, lis Fifth Street, in Long
Island City yesterday.
An automatic revolver which police
charged Terzani had dropped near
an inside door OF the Columbus Hall
where Antonio Ferres 22-year-old
City College student was shot and
killed by Philadelphia Khaki Shirts
Friday, was found three minutes
after Terzani had left, inside piano
at another end of the hall. This was
admitted by Art Smith Of 4429 Broad
Street, Philadelphia, National Com
mander Of the Khaki Shirts, who
Is pressing the murder charge against
Terzani Under cross examination by
Harry Sacher, International Labor
Defense attorney.
All through the hearing, Smith and
the Assistant District Attorney, Las
CANA, tried desperately to shield the
name of the real killer.
Magistrate Dryer refused to dis
miss the case and also held Terzani
without bail.
The hearing of Michael Palumbo
framed in the same case on a felo-
NOUS assault charge, was postponed
until Friday in the same court be-
cause it was claimed the witness
against him was recovering from
stab wounds. A demand by the LID.
Attorney, Joseph Tauber, that bail
be reduced to $500 was denied and
kept ct 4100on

cist that committed the murder. As

LABOR COUNCIL
HEAD ON BALBO
WELCOME LIST
Ryan, I .aGl1ardia Mil
lionaires Greet Fascist
Aviators

NEW YORK, July 19.-When the
Italian fascist air squadron Of "a fly
ing boats landed at the seaplane base
at Floyd Bennett Airport at 4:10 this
afternoon they we're greeted by a
committee of which Joseph p Ryan,
president of the New York City
Trades and Labor Council, was one Of
the members, in spite of,the fact that
the American Federation Of Labor,
under pressure of its membership, has
been forced to repudiate Italian fas-
ciSm.
Among others who welcomed the
air squadron, which is under the lead
ership of the notorious gangster, thug
and professional murderer, Italo
Balbo, were City Comptroller Charles
w. Berry; Fiorello La Guardia, csndi-
date for mayor of New York City, who
calls himself a liberal; Ferdinand
Pecora, who recently participated IN
the farcical Senate examination Of
the House of Morgan; Carnero Pri-
n1era, now the champion heavy
weight in the priZef1ghting racket;
Grover Whalen. the glorified floor
walker of Wanamaker's who was po-
lice commissioner under the Walker
Tammany city administration; John
D. Rockefeller Jr. Cornelius Wander
bilt and Owen D. Young. All the
officers of the fascist organization
known as the Sons of Italy in Amer
lea were on the committee of welcome.
The most elaborate police guard
ever assembled in one place in this
city was modified to shield Balbo and
his cut throat gang from the hatred
of the New York working class.
Left Chicago Early This Morning
The squadron left Chicago this
morning at 8:42 and made the trip to
New York in little less than eight
hours. When the air feet approached
New York it was met by the naval
dirigible, Macon, and a fleet of &C
companying planes.
Protest Official City Reception
The National Organizing Commit
tee of the United States Congress
Against War sent a sharp protest to
Mayor j. P. O'Brien today against
the official entertainment of General
Balbo's air armada. The protest,
sent in the name of so national Or
CARNATIONS opposed to war, includ-
ing trade unions, the Communist and
Socialist parties, and many others,
characterized the 100000 flight as
nothing more than a gigantic war
display, following support Of Italy
against France by the United States,
and Mussolini's endorsement of the
New Deal The protest called the
squandering of public money in well
coming Balbo and his battlefield in
sidious propaganda for war.

JAPAN Mobiles
TROOPSFOR DRIVE,
TOWARDS U.S.S.R.
Use Feng AS Excuse
to Invade Outer Mon
golian Republic

NEW YORK.-Shanghai cables
tell Of heavy concentration of 10000
Manchukuoan and unspecified num-
bers of Japanese troops, ammunition,
supplies and military planes to re-
take Dolonor from General Feng Yu
Hsiang, and to use this as a pretext
for the invasion of the Peoples Re-
public of Outer Mongolia, on the Dor
der Of the Soviet Union.
A dispatch by Victor Keen, Shang-
hal correspondent of the New York
Herald Tribune, published today,
says: -
"OfficiaI Soviet sources in
Shanghai view the Chahar situa-
ton (where the arranged war play
between Feng and the Japanese is
now going on) as fraught with Sc
rious possibilities of a break be-
tween Japan and the Soviet Union.
They point out that Feng's recap
ture of Dolonor offers an excuse
for Japanese military invasion of
Inner Mongolia, and perhaps also
Outer Mongolia, which would re-
suit in a clash between Soviet and
Japanese interests"
General Feng Yu Hsiang, who is
acting in cooperation with the jap
anese, was allowed to take Dolornor,
to give the Japanese q pretext for
heavier troop concentrations in this
region, to be followed later by a
drive towards the Soviet border.
Toxic dispatches further indicate
that the Japanese are planning to
use the Feng advance as an excuse
for an attack on Outer Mongolia and
against the Soviet Union. An associ-
ated Press story from Toxic says,
Japanese authorities had declared
Soviet assistance was intensifying
the menace of the campaign of Gen-
eral Feng Yu Hsiang against the
western frontier Of Manchukuo, and
that Japanese military leaders were
protesting anxiety"
The new excuse is to be used not
only to take over the province of
Chahar, but for the justification OF
the war drive towards the Soviet bor-
der through Outer Mongolia.

MARINE MEETING
Dele G ates Discuss
Tasks in Struggle
Against War

NEW YORK.-Marine worker del
egates at the sessions of the Mar
inc Workers Industrial Union con-
vention at 140 Broad ST., Tuesday
night grappled with the important
tasks involved in waging an effec-
tive struggle against the coming I'M
perialist war and against the pre-
sent Japanese war to partition
China.
Reminding the delegates that 1t
was the Seattle longshoremen who
prevented shipments Of munitions TO
Kolchak during the. Bolshevik revo-
luton and prevented support for
the counter revolutionary forces, Rae
mentioned some of the concrete &C
tons in the struggle against war
which can be taken by the searnen
and dock workers in every port.
Seattle Workers Active.
Seattle marine workers, by plac-
ing literature In Japanese ships
when they reached the Pacific ports,
reached hundreds Of seamen who in
turn distributed this literature to the
workers in the factories in Japan
calling for struggle against the
rape Of China and against Japan's
imperialist aims against the Soviet
Union, Rae told the delegates.
The Baltimore delegate told how
he obtained the cooperation Of a
member of the japanese crew in
arousing the crew against the trans
port OF scrap iron for Japan and
how the Marine Workers Union was
instrumental in organizing demon
STATIONS against the shipment Of
war materials.
Stop Munitfon Shipments.
Many delegates spoke OF the con-
tinued shipments of scrap iron, pig
iron, copper and other materials
destined to Japan and to the Eu-
ropean countries and how the
marine workers must organize to
uncover this, to prevent its being
hauled on the ships and even to
prevent the ships from carrying the
munitions out of the American
ports. Along with this must 60
the agitation among the Japanese
seamen and seamen of all other
countries to carry the struggle
against the imperialist war to the
working class in every country.
The convention went on record
to endorse the revolutionary strug-
gle of the workers and peasants of
Cuba against the bloody Machado
and pledged its support to the work
ers nd peasants in their struggle.
For An Hour Day.
Wednesdays session was devoted
to a discussion of wage scales and
the necessity for fighting for the
demand for an eight-hour day.
Earl Browder of the Communist
Party addressed the convention and
received a big ovation.
Covert Schouten, member Of the
Union who has been in Jail for
several months In connection with

TALK UNION,
"a FIRED IN

Met to Discuss Wages
in Martin Co. Under
Slavery Act
FEAR MORE LAY-OFFS
Company Has Fat Govt
Contract for Bombers

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 10.
The Glenn L. Martin Co., i'm
portant manufacturing plant
here, today showed it's appreci-
alton of a fat government con-
tract for bombing planes by firing
all the "a workers in the tool room.
More lay-offs are threatened.
These workers, the majority of
them with wives and children, had
been unemployed for year or more.
They were put to work within the
last few weeks at 10 cents an hour
lower than depression wages as a re-
suit of President Roosevelt awarding
the Glenn Martin Co. contract for
the manufacture of 40 monstrous
army and navy planes, each costing
$750,000, paid out of Roosevelt's
Public Works Fund for unemploy-
ment relief. Each one is capable of
wiping out a town of men, women
and children.
Trying to exercise the right sup
posedly pledged them in the Indus
trial Recovery slavery Act to or
ganize, these ID workers met on Fri
day night to discuss demands for a
fair living wage. The next day they
were discharged from their jobs be-
cause, as the foreman said, "they had
used company time to talk about
wages" This, the workers knew, was
of course, merely a trumped up ex-
cuse.
The Glen Martin Co. has indicated
that any workers who attempt to or
ganize will be fired. This has con-
siderably added to the tension ex-
listing here ever since work was be-
gun on the bombing planes.
A regular wartime atmosphere
has prevailed here. There are secret
service agents prowling about, armed
guards at the gates and many men
working in the plants are well-known
labor spies.
Against the background of snow
white walls, as white as the feathers
of the dove of peace, one may see
army and navy officers watching the
workers laboring over bombing
planes which may some day deal
death to workers in other countries
or even in our own.
The workers have become terror
lied, and sentiment for a union of
their own is growing. Word was sent
out today among the workers that a
large number of workers in the sheet
metal department were to be thrown
out of work on Monday.
The average wage is 80 cents an
hour. Some of the workers have to
spend 60 cents day car fare. Other
workers have felt some qualms about
working on instruments of war and
yet their wives and children need
food. Relief agencies in this city
have proved terribly inadequate.
"The workers" as one class-con-
scious worker put it, want and need
to earn more money. Sentiment in ia
vor of organization is strong
