Communist Party does not instigate
imperialist wars in the naive belief
that such is the way to help" the
Soviet Union. Nor do we rely upon
the inperialist U. S. Government to

Japan" or by any other method. The
United States imperialist government
Is the bitterest enemy and not q
friend OF the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics. In fact the United
States Governments policy in the
Far East is one of endeavoring to in
cite an imperialist attack by Japan
against the Soviet Union, in the hope
of weakening Japan dts own inper-
ialist rivaD and at the same time
weakening the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics which is recognized by
all as the stronghold Of the world
proletarian revolution.

Only in doing tbs Is 1t possible at

On the other hand, here, miles
out of Pittsburgh, he claims that
everything is alright, because the
United Mine Workers Of America has
an agreement with the Pittsburgh
Terminal. 1t is a lie that everything
is o. K. and here is the proof of
their lie.
Joe Lucas was working here in Mine
No. 2. He had buddy, young fell
low of about % years of age. While
he worked practically every day, Joe
could not make enough to keep his
family. He was q grown up boy and
every time he asked the boss when
his boy was getting a job the boss
answered, when your buddy dies. }"
Joe decided that since his buddy was
very healthy, he would have to help
him to die. He had some arsenic
that he stole some years ago in a
still mill He put the arsenic into
his buddys dinner bucket. However,
his buddy noted that something was
wrong, and, after watching several
days, Joe was caught. He admitted
putting the arsenic in, and stated
that he did it to get his boy to work
with him. Joe is now in Allegheny
county Jail waiting trial.
While we miners do not approve
Joe's method, nevertheless the blame
for this is not with Joe, but with the
bosses system and the UM.W.A
takers who forced our wages down to
where we work and at the same time

Here is something else. There is
g. large number of miners here who
are forced to ask the Welfare for

The Welfare investigator comes here
but visits the company office first
and those who get an o. K. from the
super get Welfare checks and gov
eminent flour. The company suckers
get relief, although they Go not need
it, while those who need 1t starVe.

BERLIN, March 2. - Over
1850 workers we're arrested

Order FALLING Of Red Deputies.
In another blow at the elected
representatives of the working class,
the government yesterday ordered

were issued several days ago for the
arrest of all Communist Deputies. A
number have been arrested so far.
The state government Of Thuringia
issued a decree prohibiting the dis
play of red flags, and the wearing
of socialist and Communist badges.

only governmental parties still
able to conduct election propaganda

The bourgeois press reports that

GROWING PEASANT REVOLT IN
SPAIN

The movement of the peasants and
farm laborers in Spain for the seizure
of the estates of rich landowners is
developing with elemental force in
spite of all efforts of the authorities
and the Socialists to prevent it,
TIL movement is particularly
strong in the province of Caceres,
where many estates have klready
been seized. During the past few
weeks other estates were seized and
distributed in Torrequemada, Aldea
del Cano, Madrileyo, BroSas, Puzu-
ealo de Zarzon, and other districts.
The peasants are forming revolu-
tionary committees to organize the
distribution of seized lands and to
set up defenses against possible
armed interference or punitive expe-
ditionS by the Civil Guard.
"El Socialista," chief daily organ
of the Socialist Party, is alarmed at

movement, for which it blames tn

At this place the women workers
are making blouses at the rate of 3S4

Only needle trades workers are able
to conceive what sort Of slavery this
means.
We must not forget by the way
that this is the state over which Leh-

from which Mr.. Roosevelt is going

In the Daily Worker drive. A COM
munication from Robert Smith, Daily
Worker representative in Buffalo
District A.. informs us that units
Of the Communist Party ARE still
holding or arranging house parties,

has been arranged for March IL; all
collection lists are being checked, and
preparations are being carried on for
the National Daily Worker Tag Days
to be held March IL and H."

tinues, ION the Daily Worker outlin-
ing a plan for increased activities.
A banquet was arranged for Roch-
ester, to be held March II. SYRIA
cuse and Binghamton are to be visited
by the District Organizer of the Par
ty in the very near future. He will
be sure to speak on the critical sit
uation of the Daily Worker and to
promote greater activity in these two
cities.
Wednesdays total in contributions
was $652.72, of which New York raised
only $260.97, a distinct drop OF about
$3.50 from its Tuesday total.
Several other districts made good
showings notably Boston (s72.93),
Philadelphia ts64.s8), Pittsburgh
t$70.38), Detroit ($55.32) and the CAL
olinas $4,000. The aforementioned

Kansas City and the Dakotas failed
to contribute at all.
But the big districts, outside of
New York, 1t must be repeated, on
whom the success of our drive de-
ponds, are still behind. Philadelphia,
although 1t did we'll Wednesday, is
not sending funds with the regularity
of other, smaller districts. Chicago,
which sent only s20.15, makes squirt
nov and then, but falls into mac
tivity SO many times that something
must be seriously wrong with its ap-
paratus. In big city like Chicago
there should be hundreds Of oppor-
tunities for small house parties and
for bigger affairs to keep the flow of
funds to the Daily Worker steady
and uninterrupted. Minnesota's $l468

YOUNG MINERS HURT ON
JOBS TOO HEAVY FOR EN-

BENTLEYVILLE, Pa-Here in the
Gibson mine of the Hillman Coal
Co. there are quite number OF
young miners. Some run motors,
others snapp, but majority are load
ing coal. The coal loading is hard
work. We are cheated on the scales;
we do not receive payment for the
dead work to amount to damn. The
motorrnen and snapper ade speed-up,
and many get hurt.
And here is what happened to
young fellow loading coal. He was
working in place that goes up
grade. He had to push the empty
cars into the place, as the motorman
has too many men and is instructed
not to push the empties. The cars are
not creased, axels and brake rods
are bent and it surely is hard to
push the cars; This young lad over
done himslf and as result is ruptured.
Many more will be ruptured and
worse if we don't organize. We have

that by the time April rolls around
we will have all the miners convinced
to strike. Those that we may not be
able to convince with arguments the
coal company will convince with an
other wage cut.

1000 MARCHERS
HERDED BY COPS
N. J. Conference on
Sunday for Jobless

OLYM- IA, Wash, March g.
Hundreds of armed police, deputized
thugs, calling themselves vigilantes,
under Sheriff Haven, are trying to
repeat the performances of Hoover's
police thugs during the National
Hunger March to Washington, D. G.
last December by coralling the 1000
hunger marchers, men, women and
children in a park here. The place
is virtually under martial law. Work
ers are denied communication with
attorneys; all civil rights are swept
away and only the policemen's clubs,
revolvers, black-jacks, machine guns,
and other means of terror rule.
The rnarchers were surrounded and
herded into the park where they are
denied leave. Rain is pouring down
in torrents; sanitary provisions are
denied. There is no shelter except
the cars and trucks the nlarchers
we're able to get.
Workers Ranks Firm
The thugs taunt the workers, say
ing they will be held until after
March 4th they cannot participate
in the nation wide demonstrations
when Wall street puts its new hun
ger president into the white house.
In spite of the police brutality the
workers ranks are firm, their moral

county have told the members of the
