Republican assault. He tainted the
Democrats with the fact that the
Expenditures Committee Chairman
refused to call a meeting of the
Committee, and cynically inquired
With fifteen (Democrats) on the
Committee, can't you whitewash any

Gifford's real complaint, however,
was that wealthy" communities were
getting C.W.A. money and spending
it. He, apparently, would simply cut
down the amounts of expenditures
for C.W.A. He quoted newspaper as
sertions that the C.W.A. is a "politi-
clans paradise" and asserted that
many have been put on the rolls who
wouldn't have jobs even in good

The following article is part of

active member of the rank and file
committee in the Painters Union

effectively organized, was able to
compel Zausner to withdraw the
daily tribute imposed on the mem

DAILY Worker Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-
The Roosevelt dollar devalua-
ton bill was overwhelmingly
and swiftly approved today by
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. All opponents in that
group piped down after the Com
mittee adopted several modifying pro-
visions which, concededly, have vir-
tually no chance of being enacted,
and which in any case would not
change the two main principles Of
the program - cutting the dollar to
half it's normal and setting up ire
mendous Equalization Fund for mani
pulating gold in Foreign Exchange
for the benefit of American impe-
rialists.
Final debate in the Senate will be-
gin tomorrow. The House already
having approved it, the program is
likely to be sent along to the White
House within few days.
A bitter attack upon the bill by
Senator FeSs, Republican die-hard or
Ohio. only served to reinforce sup
port. Fess took the floOr of the
Senate to rail at the dishonest" char
acter of the Roosevelt program.

Thirty Anthracite
Strikers Jailed in
Mass Fight on Writ
Deny Miners Right to
Streets; Strike
Spreading
BY DAN Singer

WILKES BARRE, Pa, Jan. 23--
Thirty miners were arrested on the
picket line in the first test of the in
junction. Picketing is taking on q
mass character in spite of the in
junction. In Parsons picket was
arrested and denied bond. The case
is to be taken into court.
Jury trials are to be asked with
all cases. 1t is reported that the
Hudson Coal Co. petition for injunc-
ton has been stopped, pending an
"amicable agreement" on picketing.
Two of the largest collieries in Dis
trict One, which has been operating,
the Susquehanna Galleries, Nos.
and Z, members of the U.MWA.,
voted last night for a holiday" dur
ing the strike, thus joining the strike.
Twenty-Five hundred are involved.
Ialoney states a complete tie-up,
or all badly crippled Boylan, U. M.
w. A., reports 60 to 70 per cent at
work. Glen Alden Coal Co. posted
a notice that all miners must be at
their working places within 48 hours,
or remove their tools from the prop
erty Of the company.
Virtual Martial Law
This morning the superint dent,
mine foreman and other company Of
ficials visited miners homes, intimi-
dating and terrorizing miners and
their wives and trying to force miners
to return to work. Sheriff Kniffen
of Luzerne County imposed virtual
martial law in a proclamation. COM
handing all citizens, individually and
collectively, to refrain from congre-
eating on or obstructing the public
highways and that all public DEM
onstrations to intimidate" to cease
forthwith.
Judge Kelly contended, in arguing
for the injunction for which the
Hudson Coal Co. was trying, that all
miners were under contract with the
coal operators, whether or not they
were members of the U.WM.A. The
miners are preparing for mass dem
onstrations at the County Court
House.
Permit Denied
They visited the chief Of police,
Taylor, of WilIzes-Barre, for per-
NIT to march.
Chief Taylor refused permit on
the grounds that Section No. 4 of
the injunction granted the Glen AL
den Coal Co. denied the. right of the
use of the streets to citizens. When
asked by the committee Would this
mean martial law had been de-
clared?" he replied, you can call
it that, but I say 1t is a court order"
The committee asked if court or
ders could be applied to others than
individuals, to which Chief Taylor
replied, eff I gave you permit, the
state and counties would stop you"
The committee of miners state that
they are going ahead with their
preparations, injunction or no in
junction.

Mendieta Govt

By Roosevelt
Cuban ReactiOnaries Are

rapid move to bolster up the new
reactionary Mendieta government in

governments.
Jefferson Gallery. Wall Street
representative in Cuba who actively
aided the coup Of the resctionaries in
ousting former president 0rau San
Martin, was named by Roosevelt as U.
8. Ambassador. AS a result Of an
emergency conference called by
Roosevelt with the representatives of
several South and Central American
governments, it is expected that those
governments will also extend recogni-
ton within the next few days.
Three governments in which Amerf-
can imperialism is dominant have al
ready extended recognition. They are
Mexico, Colombia and Chile.
Reports from Cuba show that the
Mendieta government has sharpened
its murderous attacks on striking
workers and professionals in a bloody
gesture of good faith" with its Wall
Street masters, who are demanding
the suppression of the revolutionary
struggles of the masses impoverished
by the fierce exploitation of U. S.
imperialists and native bourgeois and
landlord cliques.
The Mendieta government is
reported to have adopted four-point

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 23.-
Graft in the Civil Works Administra-
ton came under fire in Congress to-
day-but without a single reference
to the fact that it means that the
paltry funds appropriated for unem-
ployment work relief are going to
politicians in party machines and III
conservative labor unions instead of
to workers.
Deluge Of Complaints
Republicans launched the attack,
demanding investigation by a House
Committee, as relief and other Off
Gals hurriedly set in motion an "in-
vestigation" which probably will
whitewash the Sordid state of C.W.A.
affairs. The investigation has one
main purpose: To offset the worker
complaints which are pouring in
from many sections.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3D.
The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee today voted unanimous
ly to recommend the passage
of the S475,000,000 five-year
Vinson Naval Construction bill
just before the end of the first days
hearings on the proposed bill. This
measure, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Henry L. Roosevelt declared
yesterday, has the full support of
President Roosevelt.
Supplementing the S238. 900 900
worth Of naval construction ordered
nearly three months ago by Presi-
dent Roosevelt under the guise Of
public works, and the many millions
given the navy by the P. w. A. for
aviation and other war preparations,
the present Roosevelt naval program
is the greatest peace time" one in
the history of the world. It's con-
struction is especially significant in
view Of the fact that beginning Feb.
Is, Roosevelt will throw 100000 men
a week from the Civil Works Admin
istration lists, ending the disrnissals
by May I, when all @. w. A. workers
are expected to exist on the country's
spring weather.

PARIS, Jan. 23.-War in the

the immediate order of the day.
This is the statement of Henri
Berenger, chairman of the nch
Senate Committee on Foreign A-airs
and former Ambassador to Washing
ton, in an article in today's "Agence
Economique ct Financiere."
Such statement from such a man
who could be counted on to keep Q
discreet silence as long as it was
possible, strikingly bears out the man
point Of the recently published state
ment of the Thirteenth Plenary Ses-
sion Of the Communist International
What is happening as among
Japan, China, the United States and
Russia has a definite connection with
what is happening in Germany and
in Eastern Europe" writes Berenger
THE tragic chain Of events which is
being formed in the Far East has
links in Berlin and elsewhere"
Our national security is directly
involved, and that of Great Britain
and Italy as well. The security of the
Little Entente [Czechoslovakia, Ru-

rectly."
