These Artists!

When paint peels from the
myriad colors of the decorative
figures that adorn Capitol cor
ridors, George B. Mathews
wteldS his brush to replace
them.
In the 10 years of his life
he has painted portraits of
the great, the near great and
the rest. Among his works is
q portrait of Patrick Henry,
and likenesses of all of the
governors who have served at
least seven states in the his
tory of the United States.
Paid by the day when he
works at the Capitol, he often
refuses to labor more than two
hours. The spirit is lacking.
And when offered a lucrative
position painting at regular
hours for exhibition he de-
clined.
Temperament would not per-
init!

'Longshoremen to
|BoycottNaziCruiser

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. 8. (By
mail.)-The longshoremen of Tao
onla showed their solidarity with the
workers of Germany when they
passed a motion at the membership
meeting to refuse to recognize the
German cruiser due to arrive here
in the Spring.
The motion was made from the
floor by a rank and file member and
was Immediately seconded by another
worker, who explained the role Of
the fascist Hitler in smashing the
trade unions and other working class
organizations.
This motion is definite step for
ward in the beginning Of q fight
against growing fascism IN this coun-
try 1t proves that the militancy of
the Northwest longshoremen, which
was shown by the strike of the Seattle
longshoremen against munitions to
be used against the workers of
Russia in 1919, is not dead.
The longshoremen should carry this
fight into action much sooner by
refusing to handle cargo aboard Ger
man ships arriving here with the
bloody Swastika flying, as longshore-
men have done In other ports thru
out the world.

Gdl6n the STATE Department has
granted Tom Mann a two-Week ex-

speak in America and rally the work
erS to the banner of the American
League Against War and Fascism,
for which he came.
Enthusiastically cheering the dy-
manic British labor leader at what
was supposed to have been a fare
well meeting, the keynote was
sounded when Mother Ella Reeve
Bloor, veteran American labor lead
er and organizer, said: This is
send-off, but it's not goodbye, be-
cause Tom Mann is only 70 and he's
coming back to see us again"
A fit setting to the Tom Mann
meeting was the report of the youth
delegates to the international Youth
Anti-War Congress in Paris. Rep
resentatives of America, q Negro
Ford worker and q marine worker
who recently returned from that in
spring youth gathering, reported on
the fight against war carried on by
the International toiling youth.
Tom Mann, representative of
British labor, and Jim Grafton Irish
rebel leader who was deported to the
United States from Ireland, shook
hands in solidarity. Tom Mann de-
clared that while it is his govern
ment which is imperialistically hold
ing Ireland in bondage, still he, as
an Englishman, was fighting that
government for the freedom of Ire
land and all colonial countries of
Great Britain.
Thousands OF workers cheered
this demonstration, as Jim Grafton
promised to carry on the fight for
which he was deported from Ire
land, in the United States, the fight
for working class freedom.
Mother Ella Reeve Bloor spoke on
the struggles of the steel workers in
Anbridge, and of how she spoke at

The BrOun Method

THOSE who are still ensnared by the liberal" Jour-
! nalism of the New York World-Telegram might
consider Haywood Broms column on Hitler on Satllr-
day.
Broun who some months ago minimized reports
OF Nazi atrocities in Germany now comes forward
with the declaration that
"The against Adolf Hitler does not depend,
and need not depend, upon such testimony (reports
of atrocties-Editor). The true indictment rests
upon bis words and his own deeds"
Such is the facile manner in which Broun dis
misses the need for continuous exposure of the muir
der deeds Of the fascist regime in Germany Such
is the way in which he seeks to ull into inactivity
those who would fight the Hitler terror which has
temporarily enslaved the German working class.
HIDDEN behind the profess .Snally genial" manner
!" of an informal columnist is cynical mconcern
for the thousands of courageous enemies of the Hit
Ter regime who have been killed tortured and manned
In order to simplify things" writes Broun, 1--WE
might say:-There is always the possibility of
aggeration in regard to isolated happenings"
Does he, perhance, have in mind 1.-THE Brown Brook

by men who are far from being Communists an
astounding rcital of the murderous acts of the Hitler
regime Shocking" is a pallid word with which to
describe the revelations in this book regarding the
brutally Sadistic acts of the Naz Moreover despite
the ironcad censorship, details of the Nazi terror
have seeped out of Germany which have aroused
millions to bitter hatred Of the fascist regime
Upon Haywood Broun, needless to say it has had
no such effect The horrors of the Nazi regime are
to him but another spectacle to be commented upon
in his syndicated columns in a casual easy-goine
genial way.
The much-touted charm" of BrounS style should
not delude anyone to the pernicious character of
the poison which he peddles.
IN THE light of Broun's whole approach to this
issue, it is not at all surprising to find that he
does not find it necessary to call attention to the
dramatic exposures of Nazi espionage and murder

Cuba, Mexico, In
Secret Treaty to
Shield Assassins
Pact Revealed When
Murderer of Mella
Asks Acquittal

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 4, (By MaiD
"A secret agreement for the protec-
ton of assassins in the pay of their
governments was signed in
March, 1927, between the govern
ments of Cuba and Mexico, It was
revealed here today.
The occasion Of this revelation
was a demonstration called by the
Socorro Rojo International Il. l.. d.,
against an attempt by the lawyer
hired to defend Lopez Valinez, mur-
derer of Julio Antonio Mella, Cuban
Communist leader killed here in 1929,
to obtain a reversal of the sentence
of sixteen years imposed on him by
the Mexican court. Another parti-
cipant in the murder of Mella was
killed by workers in Cuba during the
uprising which forced Machado to
resign and flee from the country.
At the demonstration, speaker
for the I. L. D. demanded action by
the prosecutor aaginst Machado him
self, who was admittedly the direct
inStigator of the murder.
The public prosecutor answered
that this was impossible, as In
March, 1927, two months after the
murder of Mella, the Mexican and
Cuban government reached a re-
ciprocal agreement under which
neither country would prosecute for
crimes committed within their
boundaries by officials of the other.

prison hospital last July, was arrested
again here two days ago, and freed

Ravinez had been held in prison

hospital in a serious condition last

torture and Entertainment. While in
the hospital, an attempt was made to

The Communists work silently.
From house to house, floor to floor,
and hand to hand, the illegal news
papers and leaflets are passed.
Many small tradesmen, a few
months ago warm partisans of Hitler.
have quit the Nazi party now. and
many more who have not dared go
SO far, have broken away from him
in their thoughts. A united front of
workers and the members of the
middle class sympathetic to the re-
volution is being forged.
The business improvement which
the small tradesmen hoped for has
not been realized, but on the con-

masses has dropped still further with
the diminishing wages Now the
small tradesman hopelessly watches
the approach of the winter which
the Nazis themselves have said will
be "the worst in hundred years. "
