GOVERNMENT USES DISRUPTERS TO
FORCE VETS INTO SLAVE CAMPS

salaries to be raised to S45 a month
with assistants at $50 a month. The
government hopes in this way to en-
tice not ony the veterans but also the
young workers. That this will not
succeed, previous experiences have
shown.
To Arlington Cemetery
Yesterday march took place to
Arlington Cemetery to visit the graves
of Hushka and Carlson who we're
killed last year during the bonus
march, and to the grave OF the IN
known Soldier. When they passed
the spot where Hushka and Carlson
we're killed the parade stopped for
two minutes In silent demonstration.
Yesterday in order to further en-
rage the men and provoke them into
action the government suddenly an
ilounced that quarantine would be
established in the camp A number Of
men we're sick and the authorities
thought they would have an opportu-
nifty to use new tactics in order to dis
gust the men. However, steps we're
taken by the Convention Committee
and the quarantine did not go
through.
At the convention demand was
made for the reading OF a statement
by Thomas which was in agreement
with the Convention Committee be-
fore the convention began. Owing to
some confusion, only part of the
statement was read, but it was clear
that Thomas had agreed to the three
point program. This provocateur and
stool pigeon no doubt signed this
agreement with his tongue in his
cheek, for the moment he got into
the convention he fought for the
one-point program. AS result of this
situation, the convention demanded
that those who do not accept the
three point program had no business
within the convention. Thomas left
the convention with about go men.

OF millionaires?
In 1929 Swift g. Co., owned by the
Swift family, clearinghouse million
aires, wanted to unload little rail-
road of three locomotives and nine
miles Of track, worth, according to
them, little over two million dol
lars. This railroad with only $780,
600 of stock and $625,0o of bonds
outstanding owed matured interest
Of over million dollars. The Swifts
sold this railroad to the Missouri
Pacific for $4,3o0,0OO. The stock was
worth 90 500 share. 1t was
bought for 1920 share. Eight ninths
OF this purchase on which Missouri
Pacific charged interest since 1929

Socialist Party Chiefs Bar Member
From Speaking at ScottSboro Meet
Reveals S. P. Leaders
AS Foes of Jailed
Negro Boys

NEW YORK.-The charac-
ter of the Socialist Party's sup
port of the mass fight for the
Nine innocent Scottsboro boys
is indicated by letter just received
by the New York district of. the In
ternational Labor Defense (fascimile
to left).
The letter, written by Mary w. Hill
lyer of the League for Industrial De-
mocracy, a socialist organization ac-
tive among college students, is ad
dressed to John j, Ballaf1l, New York
secretary Of the LID, and informs
him Of her inability to speak as sched-
uled at Scottsboro protest meeting
at the Ella May Branch OF the /
l.. D.
In her letter Miss Hillyer says:
Il regret very much that it is
impoesi' lie for me to fulfill this en-
gagen, emit. l am member Of the
Socialist Party, as YOU know. / ap-
peared last night before the City
Executive Committee apparently
summoned-Editor's motel and
learned to my deep regret that the
Interpretation Of a recent ruling
does not permit any member of the
Socialist Party TO speak at meet
ing under the auspices of the 1. L.
d. The 1. L. d. is considered by the
Interpretation OF the Executive
Committee as Communist crgani-
zation.''
The action of the Socialist Execu-
tive show once again the organized
pressure against rank and file mem
bers of the S. p, more and more of
whom are coming forward actively
to support the mass aght to free the
Scottsboro boys. 1t gives the lie to
the hypocritical pretense of the S. p
leadership that it is interested in
freeing the innocent Negro boys.

ROOSEVELT AID
boarded FIVE
MILLION IN GOLD

NEW YORK.-Bernard M. Baruch.
millionaire stock gambler, is reported
by the press as closely identified with
the administration Of Roossvelt's pro-
posed national industry recovery
BILL It will be recalled that Baruch
a leading member of the Democratic
Party, was the largest contributor to
Roosevelt's election campaign, giving
$45 1000. In 1928, he contributed
$4,000 to Smiths campaign. Barueh
has personal property assessment
OF 100000 in New York City.
In addition he is a stakeholder in
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
which has laid off thousands
Previously he was chairman of the
War Industries Board And Baruch
was vice chairman of the National
transportation Committee along with
Alfred Smith Alexander Legge and
until his death, Calvin Coolidge.
These capitalists recently published
their findings in book Among their
recommendations made with the
outlook of preserving profits and di-
VidendS on the railroads, ships, trucks
and other means Of transportation
are those calling for efficiency" and
further economy" in operation. In
other words, subtle call for layoffs.
Another sidelight on Baruch is
thrown from Walter Winchells COL
umn which appeared in the New
York Mirror, April "A, 1888. They
would have you believe wrote Win
chell. that the reason why you never
hear Mr. B.. mentioned in connec-
ton with the administration any
more is that he was caught by some
one close to the President with ship
ping five million in gold to London
for safety" Communication with one
of the liberal magazines, revealed the
fact that Mr.. B." was none other
than Bernard Baruch and that the
amount of gold he was reported to
have shipped to London was not five
million. but sum even larger.

peace" to the world, his army Off
GERS were putting the final stamp to
the military set-up Of the "Reforesta-
ton Camp"
Capitalist newspapers refused to
print this story in an attempt to hide
this tremendously significant action.
The splendid action of the young
workers at Camp Devens shows that
the youth do not want imperialist
war and are determined to fight it.
This action should give impetus for
demonstrations in the camps on Ma
tional Youth Day, May 80. Having
as their slogans: against irnperialist
war and the military forced labor
camps of the Roosevelt New Deal.
Young workers in the camps and
everywhere, all out on National Youth
Day!
WASHINGTON, May 81. - The
drafting of the full quota of 2T5, 900
unemployed for the military Re
foreStation Camps" is going on at
furious pace in line with the dew
clipping war situation. Robert Fech-
ner, A. F. of L. misleader and direc-
tor of the camps, announced yester-
day that TO,T5s unemployed have been
enrolled already and more are COM
ing in at a rate of 5000 a day.
This development comes simultan-
eously with the drastic cuts in relief
throughout the country. One hundred
eighteen camps have already been es-
tablished as bases for the military
training of the men. The date for
the completion of the drafting has
been brought forward from July LIST
to within three weeks from today.

BOSTON, May 21.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals will
on Tuesday consider the case OF
George Crawford, young Negro, whom
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
is seeking to extradite to Virginia to
face trial on a murder frane-up.
Federal Judge James A. Lowell a
short time ago halted the move tc
send the young Negro to Virginia
basing himself on the ground that
inasmuch as Negroes are systemati-
oslly, excluded from both petit and
grand jufies, Crawford would not re-
ceiye q fair trial.
The prosecutor for the Common
wealth immediately announced ap-
peal, and the hearings will take place

Dear Comrades
The 2nd National Convention of
the Marine Workers Industrial Union
will mark historic stage in the
progress of your union It should
mark the completion of transforming
the organization into en- organ of
struggle, into the weapon that the
mass of Marine Transport Workers,
who play such an important role in
the struggle against Imperialist War,
will use in defending their own in
terests and in resisting the attacks
Of the bosses. Further. the Conven-
ton should be a means of building
up solid United Front of the marine
workers in preparation for the COM
ing mass struggles.
More and more the mass OF sea-
men. longshoremen and harbor work
ers are rebelling against the intoler-
able conditions and low wages and
mass starvation which has been
forced upon them during four years
of crisis That the Marine Workers
Industrial Union is organizing and
giving leadership to these struggles
is reflected in the strikes and partial
struggles aboard ship and the many
militant actions of the unemployed,
all lead by the Union. These strug-
giles, the first in many years in the
industry, are indications of the mass
struggles that are maturing in the
industry and the central task of your
convention must be to further or
ganize and initiate the development
OF these struggles on a large scale

gle against the Roosevelt program Of

Big Profits for
n. Y. SubWays

NEW YORK, May 2O--Despite
the increasing severity of the crisis,
the subway and elevator systems
of New York City continue to earn
large profits for their stockholders.
The consolidated net income of
the B. NJ. T. system for the ten
months ending April 30 amounted
TO s5,1s0,O56 after taxes, CHARGES,
and minority interest.
The profit is what was left after
interest was paid to the bondhOld-
ers, rent to the B. NJ. IT'S own sub
sidiary companies, and large divid-
ends on the preferred stock. The
fetal profit, thus, was even greater
than the above figure.

Nurses Important In
 Summer Camp Health
Parents Need Have No Fear in Sending Children to
 We'll Conducted Camp Says State Department

Hartford, July 19-Public health nurses on full time duty are play ing an important role this summer in the more up-to-date among the numerous camps in Connecticut, in rendering first aid, general health protection and in conducting in- struction classes on health sub- jects, Agnes F.

Parents need have no fear for the health of their chil- dren when they depart for these we'll conducted camps, Miss Fan ming said.
 In addition to the health pro- tection afforded through pure wa ter and milk supplies. adequate waste disposal and supervision over the physical features of sani- tation by state and local health authorities, the public health nurse furnishes a further insur- ance against health emergencies. Except in the larger camps where a resident physician is employed. the nurse usually takes full charge of the work. having regular con- sulting periods each day for care
