SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 23.-
Upon the request of the japanese
Consul General Kaname Wakasugi,
San Francisco police today prepared
to crush a protest demonstration
against the attempt by an employee
of the reactionary Japanese news
paper "Asahi Shimbun" to murder
the revolutionary Japanese worker,
G. Okitsu, one of the editors of "Rodo
Shimbun," a Communist newspaper
published in the Japanese language.
The demonstration will also ba pro-
test against the murderous white ter
ror raging in Japan and the robber
war of japanese imperialism against
the Chinese people.
The local representative of Jap
anese imperialism informed the po-
lice that he understood that the
Communists, composed of japanese,
Chinese and Negroes planned dem
onStration."
Attack Singer Strikers.
While San Francisco police are pre-
pairing to attack the anti-war workers
of this city, japanese police are car
rying out the demands Of the Wall
Street Government for a sharpening
of the terror against the striking
workers of the U. S. Singer Sewing
Machine Company's plants in Yoko-
hama and other Japanese cities.
Strikers and sympathizers were bru-
tally attacked on Monday while
demonstrating before the U. s. Con-
sulate in Yokohoma. $50 strike lead
ers were arrested. Another so were
arrested today. The Consulate has
been placed under a heavy police
guard. Strikers marching to the New

Part of Anti-War Fight.
The strike has completely shut
down the six plants of the Singer
Company in Japan. Tt is part of a
rapidly spreading strike movement
with which the japanese workers are
correctly linking up their anti-War
activities for the defeat of their own
bourgeoisie and for the conversion of
the war into civil war for the over
throw of the capitalist war-mongers,
the establishment OF the proletarian
dictatorship and peace.

March 4th Action

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 23-Savage
sentences are being meted out to
workers arrested in connection with
the murderous police attack upon
the unemployed demonstration last
July 18th. George Benz, chairman
Of the demonstration of $1,000 work
ers who were fighting against hunger
last July was sentenced to six months
in the workhouse. Yetta Becker and
Orville were given Jail sentences.
There are fifty other workers still
awaiting trials, with the outcome al
most certain to be conviction for all
of them. The cases are being tried by
the recently elected democratic judge,
Dickman, brother of the present
democratic candidate for mayor.
During the trials this judge makes
the most provocative attacks upon
the unemployed of st. Louis and the
starving masses of the county gem
orally.
These sentences are part Of the new
campaign against the jobless, defin-
itely connecting with the cutting
down of relief, the increase in dis
elimination, 1t is also a part of the
nationwide attempt of the city and
state governments to try to prevent
big outbursts of mass indignation
against the Roosevelt majority in
both houses of congress and against
Roosevelt who will be inaugurated on

The International Labor Defense is
taking appeals to appellate court
against this decision, but the unem-
ployed realize that the only way
they will save these workers from
prison is by mass struggle and
strengthening Of the Unemployed

widespread sentiment against the
conviction, the local capitalist press
was forced to condemn the sentenc-
ing of these two workers the Star
and Times" editorial of January 21st
states:
"Granting that these trials and
convictions are in accord with the

resent sound public policy or true

in front of the City Hall TO appeal
to the Mayor for relief. The Mayor
refused to see them. He would
not admit committee of their
spOkesmen to his office. For four
hours he kept them waiting ON the
