The roster of charity organizations, which are
maintained by funds from the rich was always used to

But the annals of American class struggle are
filled with chapters of proletarian solidarity
which beat back these attacks.
The revolutionary organizations play vital role in
uniting the ranks of the working class The Unem-
ployed Councils have inscribed on their banner the
unity of employed and unemployed. Militant unions
affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League and the
left wing in the American Federation of Labor are
consistently fighting for such unity.
THE Ford Hunger March in Detroit last year was
splendid example of the solidarity of employees in
the plant with the jobless. During the McKees Rocks

Convention of the American Fedora

by the American Committee Against
Fascist Oppression in Germany, of
which Prof. Robert Morss Lovett

chairman.
The wire stated that 5000 men,
beers throughout the U. S. A. of the
American Committee Against Fas-
cist Oppression in Germany believe
that the destruction of German labor
organizations presents grave danger
to labor movements throughout the
world.
eve note that you consider Off
cially adopting a boycott on German
goods until Germany recognizes the
right of workers to organize into
bona-fide independent unions and
until that nation ceases its repressive
policy of persecution Of the Jewish
people.

of the Socialist Party met the night
of the police attack, it had become
known, and rank and file socialists
raised a Juror by demanding to
know why Mayor Hoan denied a
permit for the anti-Nazi demonstra-

especially ironic in view of the fact
that Hoan is chairman of a ma

meeting were so bitter that the
