ADMIT MANY c. P.
V @ TIES STOLEN
Figures Prove Swindle
Was City-Wide

NEW YORK.-Revelatio made
by George z. Medalie, United States
attorney, prove conclusively the con-
tention of the Daily Worker that
thousands of votes for Communist
candidates we're stoler during the
last election. Medalie gave the fig
ures for only seven election districts
in the Fourth Assembly District. but
but it is safe to say that they are
typical OF the city-wide vote stealing
engineered by Tammany with the aid
OF the republican machine.
In the Sixth Election District the
Communist candidate for u. S. SEN
ate got six votes, but was not cred
lied with single one. In the Eighth
Election District the Communist vote
Tor U. S. Senate, which was IA, was
cut exactly in half. In the same dis
trict the vote for Congress was is,
but only five were counted. In the
Ninth Election District ten Commu-
mist votes for U. S. Senate and 10
Tor Congress were recorded on the
voting machines, but not a single
one was credited. In the 22d Election
District, two votes out of seven for
U. S. Senate were counted, and the
same for Congress.
Many Socialist Party votes we're
also stolen. In some districts the re-
publicans were also gypped, but in
others, their vote was raised. In ev-
cry district for which Medalie gave
figures, Tammany votes were made
higher than they actually were.
Medalie's figures fail, however. to
take into consideration many in
stances where Communist votes we're
not even recorded because the levers
over Communist candidates were de-
hberately damned. He also makes no
mention Of the intimidation of Com
munist voters at many polling booths,
or of the old game of repeating, the
hiring by democrats and republicans
OF people to vote many times.

Y0nkers Khan to Get
Permit to Break Up
Meetings of Workers

YONKERS. N. Y, Jan. 9.-In a
letter attacking Communists and all
revolutionary workers, the local Ku
Klux Khan has demanded that it be
allowed to hold public meetings in
the streets. Though it is not stated
in the letter, it is clear that these
meetings will be held for the pur-
pose of attacking the meetings and
demonstrations of workers organiza-
tions. q
This is the first time the Khan has
asked permission to hold street meet
ings. Commission of Public Safety
Morrissey has announced that such
permission would be granted, thus
giving official sanction to the Klan's
lynch activities.

LANDLADY BARS
NEGROES; 600
IN MASS PROTEST
Finnish Workers Club
EXpels Mrs. Kirkland;
Socialists for Her

NEW YORK. Mrs. Kirk
land tried to evict white worker
and his wife for entertaining two Ne
groes in her rooming house, at Is
West I26th ST., she looked out of her
front window on Sunday and over
600 workers were protesting
SHE had attempted to stop the Ne
gro workers from coming into her
house to see B. Sklar and his wife,
roomers, You cannot stay here if
you have niggers coming to see you, -
she told Sklar after his callers had
gone.
The Finnish Workers Club Sunday
afternoon expelled Mrs, Kirkland
from membership for her stand. At
its meeting at is West 125th st., the
club also adopted a resolution de-
manding freedom for the nine Scots
boro boys and denouncing the muir
der Of Cliff James and other share
choppers. This is to be sent to the
Governor of Alabama.
To Explain Need of Solidarity
In its resolution the club also calls
on its Agit-prop committee to "or-
ganize as soon as possible a special
mass meeting, in which the workers
will be explained the necessity Of SOL
idarity and unity of Negro and white
workers in the struggle against the
capitalist class"
Part of the roomers in Mrs. Kirk
lands house moved out because of
the way she treated the Negro work
ers. Henry Shepard, one of those who
had called on Sklar, spoke during the
demonstration from Mrs. Kirkland's
steps In behalf of the Communist
Party.
Sklar was chairman Of the demon
stration. Puro spoke for the Finnish
Federation. The demonstration was
called by the Communist Party.
All the speakers at the demonStra-
ton exposed the treacherous action of
the Socialists who are roonling at
Mrs, Kirkland's place. The Socialists,
according to her statement, objected
to the coming of Negro workers into
the house. She also stated that some
churchmen living in her house like
wise objected.
1t was pointed out by the speakers
Puro and johnson, secretary of the
Finnish Federation that such an at
titude toward the Negro workers was
sponsored by the leadership of the
Finnish Socialist Federation.

MulrOOney Decree Is
Blow at Car Owners,
Raises Garage Profits


NEW YORK.--Approximately 30
900 auto owners in New York City,
who cannot afford to pay garage
rent, are prohibited from parking
cars on the street by decree issued
by Police Commissioner Mulrooney.
A short time ago this same Mulroo-
ney, when appealed to in behalf of
the garage owners, who wanted the
police force to aid them drive Gus
toners into their garages, refused to
do so. Probably the bid to Tammany
was then too low.
Anything being for sale under
Tammany rule, it is obvious that
the ante was raised and that the
garage owners will now be able to-

ADOPT 9 DEMANDS
OF FUR WORKERS
Meeting Plans Steps
To Push Them

NEW YORK.-At a crowded meet
ing of furriers held on Thursday aft
ernoon at Irving Plaza, the demands
recommended by the trade board
were adopted with a few slight
changes. The demands recommended
were as follows:
l. Working hours and minimum
scale of the present agreement shall
be strictly enforced.
2. Six months division of work in
stead of three.
3. Workers to be entitled to jobs
and division of work after they work
in shop three weeks instead OF
seven as in the present agreement.
4. Unemployment insurance funds
paid by the bosses and administered
by the workers.
S. No contracting or sub contract
ing.
6. Guarantees that the bosses will
not break the points of the agree
ment.
7. Overtime shall be permitted only
for limited number of hours during
the busy season and only in such
shops where there is absolutely no
room for other workers.
8. There shall be no so-called i'm
partial chairman.
9. No discrimination against Negro
workers, equal pay for equal work, and
the right of Negro workers to work
at all crafts.
The question of overtime called
forth long active discussion and
difference of opinion. A number
voted for IL hours a week overtime
during the period of the season. 9th
ers voted for only 8 hours. The ma
jority of the members voted that over
time should be abolished entirely.
The question was referred for further
consideration to the trade board.
Sam Resnick was chairman. The
report was given by Ben Gold who
analysed the situation in the fur
trade and the Importance of placing
some demands which were not in
cluded in the 1926 agreement because
of the changed situation. The prob
lem Of mass unemployment did not
exist at the time of the conclusion of
the 1925 agreement. Therefore the
demand for extending the period for
six months, equal division of work and
unemployment insurance fund are of
the utmost Importance.
Gold also devoted considerable time
to discussing the question of the con-
tracing, sub-contraeting and piece
work and pointed out the necessity
of mobilizing all forces in the struggle
against the Associated, which means
struggle against these evils In the
trade. Gold also dealt with the de-
mand for the abolition of the i'm
partial chairman, pointing to the fact
that it will be necessary to fight for
this demand which the bosses will
not readily give up.
Among those who participated In
| the discussion were Opachinsky who
disagreed with the demand against
the impartial chairman while agree
ing with all other demands. other
speakers were Kaiser, LANCER, Gus
Hoppman and others, who pointed
out the necessity of abolishing the
impartial chairman who is used by
the bosses against the workers.
1t was decided that the Industrial
Union is to send out these demands
to the Employers Association and
call them for conference. At the
same time the union is to strengthen
the drive for the maintenance of
union conditions in the shop.

Dismiss Berger Case;
Frame-Up Too Raw

NEW YORK. - The frame-up
charge of assault for which Rubin
Berger went on trial yesterday was
dismissed because of the brazenness
OF the attempt to railroad Berger to
jail for his activities in the strike
against Needleman & Bremmer.
-Four leading comrades are now
serving prison sentences for this
strike, in which the bosses locked out
the workers at the instigation of
A. F. of l.. officials. These officials
also tried to frame Berger.
Sorger, a detective, the chief wit

THE LAND OF NAYIRI"
SOVIET ARMENIA

One of many lessons that the world
proletariat and particularly oppres-
sed nationalities can draw from the
Russian Revolution, is the role it
played in freeing Armenia from pro-
groms, famine and destruction. If
for a moment we should put aside
all the achievements of the October
Revolution, the existance of Soviet
Armenia alone with its progress, Is
a living tribute to the revolution and
feminist policy for oppressed nation
alities.
During the war, under the yoke of
the Tar, and particularly after its
downfall, Armenia became a fertile
land for imperialiStic intrigues. The
Armenian nationalist (dashnaks)
had proclaimed a bourgeois republic,
in reality vassal state to English
imperialism. But on November 20,
1920 the workers and farmers of
Armenia, with the help of the Red
Army, drove out dashnaks and Eng
lish imperialists from Armenia and
established Soviet Republic.
1t is these historical events: fam
inc, progroms and oppression under
the Tar. and dashnaks, then sub
sequent progress under Soviet re-
gime; new factories, identification
and general cultural advance
ment, that is pictured in vivid col
ors in this film Soviet Armenia, the
Land of Nayiri." 1t will be shown
for the first time in New York for
the benefit of the Daily Worker and
Panvor, on Friday, January 10, at
Fifth Avenue Theatre, 18th st. and
Broadway.
This film prepared by Armenkino,
has all the qualities that can COM
pete with any western European mo-
ton picture.
