outbreaks yesterday, and through
out the night there was incessant
street fighting between workers and
police and groups of military that

Socialists Cast Aside.
The workers in the ranks Of the
General Federation Of Labor of
Spain, under the leadership of the
Socialist Party, have for months been
going over to united fights side by
side with the Communist workers
who, under the leadership Of the
Communist Party, have already
united large sections of syndicalist
workers In the fight against the COM

immigration Spies
Try to Terrorize
Metal Shop Workers

NEW YORK. - Wednesday last
week three immigration inspectors
came into the Majestic Metal Co.
shop at 200 Varick ST., and quizzed
many of the workers. Most of them
are Spanish speaking, and many of
these are women.
This shop produced ammunition
for the air service in the last war,
and there is a rumor that it now
has an order for more of the same,
for the coming imperialist war.
The employer had heard of agita-
ton going on in the shop against
the new proposed war, and had heard
that union organizing was going on.
The government got busy at once, to
boost the boss profits and keep its
source of airplane ammunition in
tact, by terrorizing the foreign born
workers.

presented to the state legislature.
The marchers encountered police

SALEM, Ore, Jan. 9.-The State
Hunger Marchers arrived here today
and are ready to present their state
demands to the Oregon legislature
now in session. All along the route
the lines of march were greeted with
enthusiasm by the impoverished
farmers who, in the face of the hor-
rible conditions imposed upon them,
are increasingly determined to fight.
This usually dead town takes on new
life when the legislature is in ses-
sion. But this time there is still
greater activity, not only because Of
the presence Of the hunger march,

BULLETIN.
Fierce fighting occurred yester-
day on the borders of Jehol Prov
ince between the Japanese invad-
erS and Chinese volunteers resist
ing the japanese invasion. The
Japanese used bombing planes
against the irregulars.
Under the direction of u. S.
and British imperialists, the
Marking Chinese Government
moved yesterday to open nego-
tiations with the Japanese in
vaders for a cessation of hostilities
around Shanhaikwan, North China
city destroyed by Japanese gunfire
and aerial bombardment.
This imperialist- inspired move is
intended to facilitate the seizure
of Jehol Province by the Japanese
: imperialists, thereby broadening
their military base on the frontiers
of the Monaghan Peoples Republic
and the Soviet Union. The nego-
tiations are sponsored by Admiral
Sir Howard Kelly of the British
fleet and secretly supported by
Wall Streets representatives in
China, in line with Washington's
program of diverting the Japanese
advance toward the Soviet borders
and away from U. S. spheres of in
fluence and investments in China.
Marshal Chang Hsiao -liang, Chi
nese military commander in North
China, is to carry on the negoti-
atoms with the Japanese. Chang
is VIGOROUSLY a tool of Wall Street.
Armed with the secret support of
the other imperialist powers, the
Japanese imperialists make no eff
fort to conceal their robber aims of
annexing Jehol Province to their
Manchukuo grab. The Japanese
Foreign Office spokesman plainly
states these aims, as follows:
I'VE consider Jehol part of Man
chukuo. and anything Japan does
there is within its rights and obi
cations"
Chinese Red Army forces ard
Manchurian and Jehol Province
volunteers and irregulars are car
rying on heroic resistance to the
Japanese aggressors. The new jap
anese adventure has evoked tre-
mendous upsurge of the antrim
perialist struggles throughout Chi

Tenants Declare Rent
Strike When Landlord
Rejects Their Terms

NEW YORK. A rent strike has
been declared at the apartment
house at 1866 Washington Ave, the
Bronx
The strike was called after several
unsuccessful conferences between the
tenants house committee and the
landlord who refused to withdraw
eviction notices to two tenants and
tried to break the ranks of the te-
nants by negotiating with them
singly.
The tenants are standing solid be-
hind the house committee, and are
refusing to pay rent till the landlord
comes to terms.

send delegates to a state wide
conference to propose labor le-
gislation, including relief and
unemployment insurance laws,
to the state legislature.
The call proposes the dates of Feb
rs, q and 20. and the place to be
the state capital, Albany.
All Invited
In discussing the plans for the con-
ference the Committee states that
they will invite all locals affiliated to
the American Federation of Labor.
all Railroad Brotherhood LODGES. and
all workers organizations irrespective
of their political or RELIGIOUS affiIia-
tions to this Albany Conference.
The chief object of this three-day
conference in Albany is to take up
the immediate problems confronting
the workers in the state of New
York, neutrality-suspicious. insur-
ance, and immediate relief.
A preliminary conference for the
organization of a provisional COM
mittee will be held on Jan. IT. Tues
day, at 8 pm. at Irving Plaza Hall,
18th st. and Irving Place, where re-
personalities from the. New York A.
F. of L. Committee. delegates from
A. F.. of L. local unions and other
labor organizations will work out a
detailed program for the Albany con-
ference.
The New York A.FL Committee
is confident that this conference will
include all workers in the state and
their action will be beneficial to
both organized and unorganized la
Dor.
The ALL. Trade Union Commit
tee at its meeting where these deci-
Sions were adopted considered the
desperate situation of the unemploy-
ed workers of New York State. BY
official, and underestimate figures,
these amount to 1,750,0o0, and the
number is certainly more.
Reject Lehmans Program
The committee considered that
Governor Lehman's message to the
legislature proposed nothing of any
Importance for relief of the jobless,
and instead, by advising 'rastic
economy" at workers expense, cut
ting of school funds, etc, made the
condition of the unemployed worse.
For Real Insurance
The only unemployment insurance
bills proposed by legislators so far
are means of taxing workers for pro-
viding funds that may, or may not,
actually give some small measure OF
relief for ten weeks or so, some time
in 1897. These are not acceptable
to the workers Of New York, who
adopt the principle Of employers
paying for the funds, and insurance
to the workers for as long as I'M
employment lasts.
The Socialist Party. New York
State committee, has meanwhile
rushed forward with proposal Of
its own for a separate conference
which would mean splitting the
ranks of the workers at the very
moment when the need is for uni
ted front against starvation, and
united working out of real labor and
unemployment insurance legislation
with campaign to put it through.
The Communist Party, District 2
New York; some days ago called
attention to this situation and pro-
posed that workers mass organiZa-
lions take the initiative in calling
such united front conference.
