Fight to Free Rebel
Sailors Wins Some
Results for Others

NEW YORK.--A letter from Hol-
land to a Dutch worker in New York
was received by the Marine Workers
Industrial Union. The letter states
that the "relgning ones" are making
some concessions to the workers be-
cause OF the tremendous agitation
sweeping Holland for general soli-
darity strike for the mutineers OF
the Zeven Provincien, who are still
JAILED in the East Indies.
A leafiet was enclosed in the letter
which states in part: 1.-THE demand
of the movement is Freedom for the
mutineers OF the zeven Provincien
and all others - Freedom for the
rebels of Sverabaia (troops in the
East Indies who are in revolt Free
dom for the agitators of Dogoel (sail-
ors who called upon the fleet to back
their comrades of the Provincien) and
Freedom for the East Indian colonies
of Dutch Imperialism"

''Too Many Old Men,"
So More Are Fired
At the Commodore

NEW YORK. - The strike of 80
laundry workers at the Commodore
stands fast, with picketing every day
The management is reduced now to
the obvious old trick of sending Gus
toners to talk to the pickets and try
to discourage them.
The strikers in their meeting Tues
day night threw out the only one OF
their number who took the same de-
featist line.
Meanwhile other departments are
being hit by the greed of the man
agement, Fifteen dining room work
ers, three captains and two bus boys
who were laid off twelve days ago
and told to come back each day,
WE'RE definitely fired Tuesday. This
is In line with Assistant Manager
Burrell's instruction to the depart
ment heads: There are too many old
men here, and the atmosphere must
be changed"

ROOSEVELT FARM
MESSAGE TODAY

WASHINGTON, March 15--A spe-
cial message to Congress dealing
specifically with the farm situation
is expected to be delivered by Pre-
sident Roosevelt either late today or
tomorrow.
Dictatorial poWers-Silnilar to those
possessed in connection with the
banking crisis-will be demanded
The specific program Of the Roose-
welt administration aimed to solve"
the farm crisis which has ruined
millions of farmers throughout the
country calls for the ourtailment of
production of certain crops in al
effort to artificially raise prices.
That this move would aid primarily
the big marketing and packing trusts
and not the poor farmers is not only
clear from the provisions of the pro-
posal ITSELF, but from the fact that,
according to Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture, he found favorable
attitude on the part of representa-
tives of millers. meat packers and
milk professors"

After being admitted to the Coun-
Gil headquarters, the workers were
driven out by police called in by the

Laurence Benet, American managing
director of the Hotchkiss plant, keeps
in close touch with the japanese

on japanese contracts for machine
guns. Japan has also PLACID a large
order for Whippet tanks from the

Munition firms in the United
States are worried at seeing foreign
competitors get the business of sell
ling munitions to Japan and other
warning nations. Remington Arms,
Colt and Remington Rand, all OF
them Connecticut companies en-
gagged in arms manufacture, have
sent representatives to Washington
to lobby against the resolution that
would stop shipments of war NUM-
lions to foreign nations violating the
Kellog anti-war pact.
These spokesman for the war
makers have already argued before
the House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee that if they do not sell arms
abroad, foreign competitors will.
American companies have al
ready shipped ammunition to So.
America and to the Far East for
the slaughter of workers. Workers
are urged to send in reports of
further production and shipment

pages Of the Daily Worker, the
working class can be warned and
carry on the daily struggle against
preparations now going on for
new world slaughter and for an
attack on the Soviet Union.

10 the homes to give reIlet.
Food, special doctors for sick fam
lilies and free coal was won by what
is considered one of the most vigor-
Gus and militant demonstrations at
any relief station so far in the city
Repeatedly demonstrators were torn
right out of the hands Of the police,
and in some cases the same person
was rescued several times, in spite
of a savage and continuous attack
by both mounted and foot police
Three were finally taken away in the
wagon: Mrs. Salazer, Mrs. Dorothy
Hammond and Mrs. Doretta Harmon
but the crowd of unemployed never
stopped their demonstration for a
minute.
One of the most militant demon
strators, who prevented several ar
rests, was a woman, Mrs. Medina,
whose infant had been taken to the
hospital a day previous. She told
the officials in her broken English
"This action don't scare me. You
will have to save my baby"
When the Investigators rushed from
the bureau an hour later they found
themselves confronted by large
groups in front of the houses, who
refused to let them handle any case
privately. The investigators were
forced to deal with the house COM
mittees in each case.
The arrested workers were released
until Thursday morning and on ariv-
ing back on Hicks Street found the
workers cheering and waving their
handkerchiefs on their safe return.
When a little later, Mr.. Santiago
worker who had already received
his relief check, grasped this oppor-
tunity of taking a few more families
to the bureau to demand immediate
attention for them, the supervisor
Mrs, ONeill, became almost hyster-
ical. She took MI. Santiago into hel
private Office to get information
about the block committee, how
strong it is, etc. Santiago answered
'0They are very big and good; VT
call them the Hicks and Emmett
Streets block committees. and they
are doing a great deal for U.s."

every minute in the day, going from
one tenant to another, preparing
Friday nights mass meeting in the
300 block, Hicks Street, to get sig
natures in the block demanding re-
lease of the workers who will be W
