Father Thought To Be
Communist. School Boy
Plagued By Principal

NEW YORK.-About three years
ago, when Harry Kramar's son was
eight years old, hs was questioned at
school as to what his religion was.
Little Kramar didn't know. He was,
furthermore, confused in answering
more questions and admitted what
was not true at the time, that is,
that his father was Communist and
on strike.
From that time on, however, the
boys marks fell to C's and DIS and
remained at that level in spite of
the fact that formerly his marks had
been high. Monitors beat him con-
tinually, saying that Kramars boy
was bad, Formerly this, too, had not
been the case.
When Kramar recently on one oc-
casion visited the principal and in
dicated that there might be some
connection between the low marks
and the admission of Communism,
she admitted the children had been
questioned and said, 1T may cause
you a lot of trouble--but if you think
this school is no good, they will
transfer him to another" Kramar
realized that this would not change
the situation. but the teacher had
her way and the boy was transferred.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-The London
bus strike is spreading steadily, des-
pite the sabotage Of the executive
council of the Transport Workers
Union and other officials About
$4,000 bus men are now on strike,
carrying on heavy picketing at the
garages more than half OF which are
closed.
The strike began last Thursday
with three thousand workers. A
union meeting ended in disorder
when the officials called for a return
to work Saturday night. The work.
ers answered this reformist treach-
cry by extending the strike today,
when 600 street car men joined in
sympathy strike shutting several
street car terminals.
Officials Scab.
The police are cooperating with the
union officials in the effort TO break
the strike and obtain scab labor.
While the union executive committee
is issuing strike breaking appeals
urging the workers to return to work,
the strikers are appealing to the sub
way and street car workers to extend
the strike.
Thoroughly disguised with h e
treachery Of the union officialdom,
the strikers are determined TO carry
Oh and extend the struggle until the
company unconditionally withdraws
its recent speed-up order.

Workers TriCke(1
By Amalgamated
Member of Industrial

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 23.--A
militant strike of the Shirt and Boys
Waist Workers employed at the R. g.
II. Shirt Company, 395 James Street,
last week, was turned into shame
less bargain" scheme by so-called
organizers for the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers who finally be-
trayed the strike to the employer
Steinberg
1t developed that the Organizers
made the workers victims of a quar-
rel between the business partners
Steinberg and Schuter, Mr.. Schuter
working through the foreman Tan
nenbaum, encouraged the strike SO
that when the workers went out he
could employ them at a separate
plant of his own.
The A.C.W. organizers, Lipsky and
an expensively dressed woman, nego-
tiated with both bosses, seeking
promises from both, and finally de-
cided to back the old boss, Steinberg,
and through the foreman advised the
workers to go back to work under
the old conditions.
The Amalgamated organizers re-
fused to formulate any demands for
the strikers and merely urged them
to fill out applications for the union
on the promise that they would be
told afterwards what the union scale
and conditions are.
The ,7orkers. in the meantime, got
hold of Ray Masler, dress operator
and member of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union and despite
the opposition of a couple of Amalga-
mated Cuerillas, saw to it that she
addressed the workers.
Masler thoroughly exposed the
treacherous game Of Lipsky and his
fashionable assistant with such eff
fectiyeness that both were routed
out OF the hall by the jeers and cat
calls of the strikers.
Masler again addressed the workers
in front of the shop the following
morning advising the workers to
draw up demands for higher wages,
better conditions on the job, and
urged them to stick together. The
workers are now looking towards the
N.T.WI.U., to organize them and
lead them forward in militant strug-
gle for better conditions.

THE PILLARS OF JAPANESE
RULE.

TOXIC, Dec 25 (By maiD The
Japanese review 'Kaiso" paints all
edifying portrait of the officials who
represent japanese imperialism in the
Manchukuo government.
The review reports that the Chief
Of the Manchurian police. the Japan
ese army captain Amakazu, played
an abominable role after the great
earthquake of 1923. Anakadzu order
ed the assassination Of the Socialist
Osugi Sakao and his wife.
When Sadao, noted Japanese Soc
ialist, was arrested and taken with
his wife and his seven-year-o
nephew to the police station, ANA
kadzu gave orders to kill Sadao. Then
he went into the adjoining room and
had Sadao's wife and little nephew
strangled to death.
At first the Japanese authorities
tried to conceal this crime. Later,
under the pressure of mass indigna-
ton. Anakadzu was condemned to
ten years imprisonment in fort
ress, But he was soon released and
sent to Manchuria as Chief Of Police.
This degraded criminal is in his
element playing an active part in
suppressing the movement for the
emancipation OF the Manchu masses.

WORKED SUMMER:
CHEATED OF PAY
Resort Owner Resorts
to Forced Labor

NEW YORK.-Forced labor through
which the workers are compelled to
work in return for food and shelter
alone, is becoming SO prevalent that
the owner Of a summer resort at Lake
Ronkonkoma did not hesitate to de-
prive an entire family of their wages
after they had worked for him ali
summer.
The owner Charles Fikan. wrote
a letter to Mary Marsh, wife OF An
thony Marsh offering SIS a week to
work at the resort. Later, on the in
vitation of Fikan, Marsh quit his JOB
and also went to work at the resort
bringing with him his two sons.
The entire family was forced to
work for Fikan practically the entire
summer, but received little more than
their board and room. Now the fam
lily claims around $3.50 in unpaid
wages.
Commissioner Francis Perkins de-
clined to do anything for Marsh when
the later presented his grievances.
AS in the case Of the Harlem armory
workers the wage racket is going on
with with the full approval of the city
officials.
Marsh then reported his case to
the Daily Worker who directed him
to the Unemployed Council. This or
ganization is now developing a fight
to compel payment to this worker and
his family.

REVOLT SPREADS

Government Arrest t S

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Jan. 23.--
All of Nicaragua, with the exception
of four southwestern provinces con-
tinues under state of seige decreed
by the government of DIR. Sacasa
which had been established through
the intervention of U. S. marines.
The government, evidently, is max
ing frantic efforts to suppress the
growing opposition of the toiling

breaches of discipline in the National
Guard and the arrest of 13 workers
accused as Communists and support
ers of Augusta Sandino.

the workers call them Hoover Days"
But payless Roosevelt Days" after
the Inauguration of the capitalists
new leader and protector, will prob
ably prove just as unpopular with the
working class, and perhaps to their
political enlightenment.
This much heralded "Share-the-
Work" scheme of the capitalists and
their defenders has not accomplished
what they claimed and perhaps
hoped it would, where it has been
put in effect. Each is endeavoring to
better their own position; if at the
expense of the whole, then to hell
with the whole.
This is amply demonstrated in the
case of the Telegraph Department of
the Buffalo Division Of the Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad. The first of last
July they went on five day week
for the benefit of the unemployed
workers" The first of August they
cut off seventeen jobs in the Tele-
graph Department Of this one divi-
sion. The workers by their mis-
guided sacrifices to the cause of cap
italism, had put about twelve men
back to work on part time. The cap
itaiSts for the cause of profits cut
off those twelve and five more, and
left the rest on part time basis,
with corresponding cut in wages.
The Share the Work" scheme
finds its support among the unem-
ployed and part time workers, espe-
ciallJ those who are politically un-
educated. But more and more I find
that the American working class is
becoming class conscious. The diff
ference between their position and
the position of the capitalist is be-
coming more noticeable every day. In
discussing conomic questions with
groups of workers, have been sur
prised and delighted a number of
times to find some in the group who
by the support of my position and
their knowledge of the people and
factors involved, show that they are
interested and alert, which is healthy
for the growth of knowledge.
Faith IN capitalism dies hard in
some workers. They have been
taught that Communism is bad, and
that capitalism is Gods scheme of
things" And without stopping to
investigate the justice of reasonable
ness of the things they have been
taught and are daily being taught,
they are prepared to defend capital
ism until capitalism fails them.
Then as we endeavor to politically
educate them, capitalism prepares
new schemes for their enslavement,
such as the proposed scheme of Sem
ator CouzenS for the herding of the
unemployed young men into fascist
army camps. There are some 100000
of these young men wandering about
the country today. Is the big hearted
Senator worrying about the welfare
of these unfortunate youths? Yes, he
is worrying for fear they will lose
faith in capitalism and turn to Com
muniSm as the way out of their
difficulties.
Demonstrations such as the Hunger
March, the huge demonstrations of
the Chicago unemployed, and the
struggles of the miners and other
workers against capitalist oppression,
gives life to the words of Marx: Let
them (capitalists) tremble at the
coming revolution. Workers of the
world, unite"
