Ambridge, a Landmark

IN -FlS historic Period Of the rising offensive OF the
American WORKERS, the heroism of the Ambridge
workers in resisting the organized massacre by the
steel trust stands cut as a landmark
One has only to see the sound news reel of the
opening OF the slaughter to be inspired by the bravery
the 1r1nness and grim determination of these steel
strikers. In compact body they stood their ground
while the gunner marched up to them brandishing
their machine guns in the very faces of the strikers
Sheriff OLaughlin ordered the pickets to dsband
With one piercing shout they cried: mol" Only when
guns opened fire at them at short range did they
give way. After witnessing what happened to the
front ranks, the ranks did not dispense Finally
at the Spang Chalfant plant, the bloodthirsty gun
men were met with a solid wall Of human flesh, and
they virtually mad to cut and shoot their way through
before the picket lines gave way.
They gave way with rage in their hearts, cursing
Roosevelt, and bis Wanted promises of right of or
ganization bitterly cursing Pinchot's promise of
protection TO peaceful plckets pouring out hateful
cpithets against the government Of the steel trust
THE workers in Ambridge who experienced the fas-
cis slaughter, who suffered death threats and slug
gings for days returned to the mills undaunted with
their exemplary bravery lesson to all workers.
Their heroism organized and inspired in them
by the militant leadership of the Steel and Metal
Workers Union. The desire to rebuild that union

giles will never be shot out of the Ambridge workers
The conditions which caused the strike, the steel
code with its low wages, long hours backbreakng
speed up, still there. The desire of the workers
to organize and fight is there more than ever The
task is to develop methods for carrying the struggle
In the days Of the worst terror union leaders were
in Ambridge re-estabishng organization in all plants
Now that work will go ahead speeder, with the
massacre only seeing the workers to greater efforts

Of California, county officials have
fired 10000 unemployed from relief
jobs in the city.
So great is the indignation against
those responsible for the needless
deaths of the IS unemployed work
ers that the Communist Party and
the Relief Workers Protective Union
have been able to compel the authori-
ties to take some steps to protect the
relief workers from a possible re-
currence of the Griffith Park tragedy.
They have refused, however, to in
stall sprinkling systems in the vari-
Gus parks, citing the usual economy

10000 At Protest Meeting

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 10 By
MaiD The death of approximately
one hundred relief workers who were
ordered to their death in an inferno
of flame by the flunkeys of the bosses,
is a warning to all other members
Of the workingclass to organize, and
fight against the murder of our fellow
workers. We are here in memory
of the dead, and to fight for the liY-
ing"
This statement, made by Joe
Graham of the Relief Workers Pro-
tective Union to nearly ten thousand
workers assembled at the Los An
geles Plaza today in protest of the
deaths of the relief workers in Grit
fifth Park, struck the keynote of the
meeting.
Black banners were carried by the
various locals of the R. w. P. U.
with the words, I'm memory of our
comrades and fellow workers who
were ordered to their deaths in Grit
fifth Park" The meeting was opened
by D. A. Sullivan of the r. w. P. u,
who was chairman. Workers who
had been in the flames told of men
being threatened with jail and loss of
their jobs if they refused to enter
the blazing inferno. The refusal of
the county to give aid to the families
of the men burned to death were
exposed by Sydney of the r. w. P. U.
1t is now reported the County is
intending to cremate the bodies of
the workers, and is forcing the fani-
lies to pay fifteen dollars for the

The solidarity which unites the
workers in this perilous work and

of record.
A Party member was going up
the stairs of house to visit

worker stopped him. "The police

Nazi was opposed TO the politics of

Defeat Japan Plot
Against U.S. s. R.!
War Congress Calls to
Defend Soviet Union
BY Burck

NEW YORK.-The renewed mil
itary aggressiveness of Japan in
Manchcuria, and the Japanese in
spired plots to have the Manchu-
kuo puppet government seize the
Chinese Eastern Railway, make
more vitality urgent than ever be-
fore that the workers of the Uni
ted States be on their guard, to
foil interventionist plans against
the Soviet Unoin by the big CAPT
talist powers. The warning issued
by the recent United States Con-
gress Against War held in New
York City, Sept. 29-Oct. l, in its
manifesto to the people of the
United States puts this sharply be-
fore the American masses:
The rise of Fascism in Europe,
and especially in Germany, and
the sharpened aggressive policy
of Japanese militarism, have
brought all the imperialist antag-
onism to the breaking point and
greatly increased the danger of
war of intervention against the
Soviet Union. One cannot fight
seriously against the war danger
unless one fights against all at
tempts to weaken or destroy the
Soviet Union.
In view of the black clouds OF
an intervention war by Japan loom
ing on the horizon, this call OF
the Anti-Wa Congress must re-
sound with redoubled force through
out the United States.
The delegates to the Anti-Wa1
Congress, each in his own organi-
cation, in his own home town, must
lead in the organization of effect
i've action against the threat OF
war against the Soviet Union.

LEIPZIG, Sept. 81 succeeded in
making contact with comraGe in
Leipzig who gave me information
about the propaganda and agitat!onal
work of the Communist Party. l also
asked him about the question of spies

1t must be emphasized that spying
has developed in Germany to a point
unequalled heretofore in history.
While the Nszis prepared for their
counter revolutionary dictatorship,
they founded a vast spy Organization,
II must be admitted they worked in
this field with consummate skill.
An Army Of Spies
During the first few months of 1888,
but especially after the Hitler gov
eminent came to power, the whole
National Socialist Party became a
swarming dunghill of stool-pigeons
In every shop, every factory, every
unemployment relief Office, in every
house, the Nazis shifted, inquired, and
made lists of militant workers. House
by house, they spied out the readers OF
the revolutionary press. They sought
to find out everyone who harbored
revolutionary opinions, and all those
who had hung red flag in their win
dows on election-day.
Then, armed with this information,

You've heard of the fish that
leaped into the boat, but it's a
rare thing for a photographer to
catch him in the act.
The scenes above were snapped
by an Associated Press camera
man on vacation at Grand Lake,
Maine. The unwilling principal
was land-locked salmon, a fight
ing game fish and a prize for any
angler.
The catch was made with a fly
on a five-ounce split bamboo rod.
In the top photo the salmon just
has been hooked; in the second
he has leaped clear of the water
in desperate effort to escape.
The lower picture is the prize
of the lot, snapped by stroke of
good fortune just as the fish. in a
last leap to escape the net, landed
squarely in the boat.
AS matter of fact. the photog-
rapher wasn't aware he had got
ten the remarkable shot until tn,
film was developed.
