The victories of the Red Army are
all the more startling when it is re-
membered that the Marking govern
ment has on hand $50,000,000 which
it Is using to crush the Soviet dis
tricts. 1t has the support of the 300,-
900 troops of the Cantonese war lords,
and a concentration of about 100000
Chang Kai Shek soldiers around the
northern part of Kiangsi Province.
The Red Army in its advance is
aided by the masses of impoverished
peasants who have been bled for years
by the Kuomintang When the Red
Army entered Lugyen and Lienching
they Immediately destroyed all the
deeds and mortgages on the land,
wiping out all papers of indebtedness,
organized Soviets of workers and
peasants, and rallied the toiling mass
es to organized support of the Red
Army and against the landlord bour-
geoisie.
Martial law has been declared in
the city Of Annoy. The excuse given
is that refugees are flocking into

real reason is the fear of the up

Aided by Socialist
Police, Nazis Shot
Workers Down

The first man killed was Hermann
Rogatzky, a worker 48 years old,
shot through the heart by police
man.
Madame MurZ, storekeeper, was
killed by Nazi bullets as her son led
her by the arm through the street,
attempting to escape from the battle.
Karl Rasch, a worker, father of two
children, was killed by a bullet
through the neck.
Hans Miersch was killed as he sat
in his own window in a narrow
street called the Holzpassage. In
Johannistrasse, Emil Fydrich, a
Communist tailor, was shot in the
back of the head and killed.
Three women, not connected with
any party, were murdered by the
Nazis: Erna Sommer, Is, struck by
three bullets; Frau Reschke, mid
die class housewife, and Frau Hoff-
man, the owner of a paper business.
In Korradstrasse, Adolph Hagen,
former Social Democrat who had
Joined the anti-Fascist front, was

Shouting Strike him in the heart"
Nazis armed with knives attacked a
young worker, Otto Mass. A broken
knife-blade was later found in his
body.
Franz Kalinofsky ran into the
street to rescue his four-year old
son when the shooting began. A
policeman shot him at the corner of
Muhlendamm and Burgstrasse. He
bled to death in the hospital. Ernst
Kerbel, shot in the abdomen, in
Blucherstrasse, died in the hospital.
The Altoona Hospital was filled with
the wounded.
The attack on Altoona was one of
the bloodiest of the Nazi assaults
by which they sought to terrify the
working class in preparation for
taking power.

Rather they will redouble their eff
forts to make it mighty mass DEM
onstration against war.
I'VE endorse the action of the Con-
gresS Committee in urging the s. P.
to reconsider its decision. We call
upon the NEG. of the S. P. to act
Immediately. No time is to be lost.
1.-The action of the S. P. was based,
according to its representatives, on
criticisms of the S. P in the Daily
Worker. In our opinion the S. P.
should have taken its complaint to
the G. P. and should not have con-
fronted the Congress Committee with
brQsque and sudden announcement
of withdrawal, at such critical
stage in the preparations for the
Congress.
With nationahsm gaining apace
in the U. S. and the migftiest naval
building program in it's history
under way, we do not see how any
working-class organization can re-
frain from participating in the Con-
gross. We urge Socialist branches

NEG. that it reconsider its deci-
sion, and in the meantime to con-
tinue to give fullest support to pre-

Letters from
Our Readers
ON THE 6 PAGE DAILY

To the Editor of the Daily Worker:
Workers throughout the United
States will hail the enlarged edition
of the Daily Worker. There has al
ways been need for newspaper
that would serve az chronicle of
working class struggles and which
would satisfy the complete daily read
ing requirements Of the American
worker. Such paper based on
the reading needs of the American
worker can be published by the ed
ltors of the Daily Worker-if they
take account of few characteristics
OF the American worker.
Reading comes with difficulty to
the ordinary worker whose sole read
ing fare is usually his daily paper.
1t is therefore necessary to acquire a
simplicity of language, a sufficiently
large and attractive type so that the
worker will enjoy reading his news.
paper. I would recommend that the
leading editorial of the day be found
in the middle of the front page. il
Illustrated by cartoon The illus
trations should be drawn from the
workers life SO that abstract articles
have a meaning in terms of his own
living.
A daily human comic strip which
would describe the workers life or
give the history of working class
struggle-would be boon for the
workers.
An exceedingly important sugges-
ton would be special supplement
each Saturday which would concen-
trate on major issue. Thus last
Saturdays issue would be special
supplement on war. This would con-
tain perhaps pictures of the last war
and would be easily detachable so
that the worker could save the sup
plement. I refer to the British New
Leader for an example of good usage.
Further suggestions that would
serve the same purpose-are regular
question box on all sorts Of Issues
a renewal of Sparks-more frequent
signed columnists-a special Voice Of
the Worker Column.
In this period of rising intensified
struggle of the working class--a mass
organ forwarding the interests of the
working class has become imperative.
May the Daily Worker serve as q
catalyzer that will hasten the day
when the American workers will fol-
low the heroic example of the work.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9-One of the

INNSBRUCK, Austria, Aug. O.
Heavily armed police are patrolling
the German frontier, with orders to

They have orders to shoot even
if they are attacked from German

The latest advances of the Red

The fact that the missionaries
