Spanish FGSciStS in Frenzy
Of Mass Torture and Murder

I They searched the back room. They
were leaving the house, after find
ing nothing, when they saw stair
case leading from this apartment to
the roof. The officer in command
ordered the owner of the apartment
to be taken to the station. He,
having no political activity what
ever, and being unused to this
treatment, resisted.
The officer then shouted out to
the soldiers, Take him to the am
bulance." They understood all right.
They told him to walk downstairs.
Halfway down they blew his head
of from behind.
TAKE him to the ambulance! !"
This is the common signal given
by the officers for the murder Of
prisoners - even those only sus-
pected, like the man in Ibiza Street.
A few days ago the Cabinet had
a stormy session over the question
of the death penalty for the con-
demned prisoners at Oviedo and
Gijon.
Meantime the fascist military for
ces at Gijon had taken matters into
their own hands. Yesterday they
lined up one hundred workers from
among their prisoners, and shot
them all together.
Press Howls for More Blood
Afterwards a journalist met the
Minister Of War outside the Cabinet
offices, and said he seemed to be
looking very well pleased with life.
"I am indeed" answered the Min
lister. Il have reason. For twenty
four hours all the news 1 have re-
ceived from all the military COM
manders are excellent and satisfac-
tory"
These cold-blooded murders and
mass shootingS are going on con-
tinuously. And the Jesuit-Arny
press is bowling for more blood.
In Madrid the prisons are full.
They are packing prisoners into the
horse-boxes at the Madrid bull-ring.
In Asturias snow is reported to
be the reason why the advance
against the mining area has not
yet been carried out. The total sup
preston of the miners revolt has
been announced for tomorrow"
every day for the past week.
1t is reported = but not actually
confirned-that tanks were sent up
from Madrid yesterday.
Five million pesetas (about $780,
00O) was granted yesterday as a spe-
cial army credit towards the ex-
penses of the campaign in Ast1rias.
1t is perfectly clear from all re-
ports-even from those of Army Of
ficers-that the aim of the Gov
eminent is the physical humiliation
of the miners. All reports agree
that the wholesale bombing from
the air is being carried out solely
with this intention.

same as accepting an infamous
German settlement.
Police Are Massed
Police are being massed to pre-
vent the spread of the strike. All
eyes are set on East Rutherford,
where few hundred pickles out
side the Standard Bleachery we're
dispersed by police, and strikers
have announced that several thou
sand are coming back to picket.
Sheriff Mort L. O'Connell of Ber-
gen County and the Chief of Police
are collecting together all reserves
to meet the strikers.
Further developments point to
a spread of the strike to the silk
weavers. Today, at q meeting of
the striking silk workers, a de-
cision was made to call upon the
Union Executive to arrange a
membership meeting for next
Saturday, at which the question
of the general strike in their
branch, jointly with the dyerS, is
to be decided.
Eli Keller, Manager of the Silk
Union, while reporting to the meet
ing, outlined serious situation
facing the union, with about 1000
workers in so shops now on strike,
while at least sixty shops that he
knows of are working below the
scale. He expressed complete help
lessnesS in the situation and stated
that the only basic solution for the
workers is to organize the bosses
into an association. This, he said,
would give them an opportunity to
hold somebody responsible for re-
fusal to abide by the agreement in
the industry. AS an immediate step
he proposed mass picket line be-
fore the shops at which workers
are working below the scale.
His report was q signal for an
outburst of the membership, which
denounced the policy of letting the
bosses cut wages in each shop, with
no organized resistance. 1t was re-
vealed that most of the industry is
working under the scale.
Try to Throttle Strike
The officials argued that now
that the dyers are on strike,
there was little work in the
silk plant and therefore, it would
be futile to call a strike. This was
repudiated by the strikers, who de-
cided that just because the dyers
are out, a joint struggle presents
the best opportunity. The officials,
doing everything in their power to
stall the move, argued that more
than a week would be needed for
an executive, and eventually mem
bership meeting; but this was met
with shower of Bronx cheers.
It was an uncomfortable moment
for the officials sitting on the plat
form when Sam Sheber moved for
a so per cent cut in their salary
of $45 a week for the duration of
the strike. The first impulse of the
chairman, $45 a week man, was
to say, You are on strike against
wage cuts, yet you insist that we

Committee Protests to Lehman
Exception was taken to the Gov
ernor's statement that the recent
police attacks and arrests in Albany
were purely matter for the city
of Albany" yesterday in statement
presented to Governor Herbert H.
Lehman at his New York home by
Maxwell Hyde, Quincy Howe and
Alfred H. Hirsch, all members of the
National Committee for the Defense
of Political Prisoners, 1876 Fifth Ave-
nue..
The statement was presented by
members of the National Commit
tee in joint delegation with the
American Civil Liberties Union.
The text of the statement follows:
THE police of Albany have at
tackled and arrested unemployed
workers who, as members of the
United Action Conference, were en-
tering Albany in order to hold a
statewide conference there and
with view of interviewing State
officials on the question of addition
al relief.
"You have been quoted in the
press as stating that the affair was
purely a matter for the city of
Albany
We beg to differ with you on this
retreat behind legal technicalities.
"You are aware of the fact that
these individuals were entering AL
bany as the capital of the State of
which you are Governor; you know
that their intention was and is to
interview State officials, not city
officials.
CAS- Governor of the State of New
York we call upon you to see that
those held under arrest in the CAPT.
ital Of the State, New York, be I'M
mediately freed, that those injured
receive retribution from the city of
Albany or from the State, that fur
ther molestation against the groups
cease at once, and that they be
allowed to convene peacefully in the
city of Albany, and to present their
demands to State officials"

One of the hunger marchers, who
returned to New York yesterday
after eluding the police and State
troopers, who held all prisoners at
a field on the outskirts Of the city,
told a graphic picture of the police
attack.

the young worker, whose name is
being withheld, said, "a mob of po-
lice swarmed over the truck and
yelled, Get out Of the trucks, you
dirty red bastaros.' The truck was
emptied; as we were pushed and
kicked cut, police rained blows upon
cur backs and heads, slugging US
continually.

AS we ran to one end Of the bridge,
we were met by a solid wall of cops,
who beat us and chased us to the
other end, where other police were
waiting to beat us. While running
up and down, they continued to beat
us, chasing us with motorcycles and
motor cars.

LUTzK, Poland. Oct. 31.-Thirty-
four workers and peasants, ar

total of 1914 years of hard labor in

and of establishing a Soviet order

month were tortured in the notori-

In Harlem, where Governor Leh-
man spoke last night at a Demo-

Eighth Avenue, five workers groups
sent a telegram to Lehman in the
name of the Harlem workers, de-
manding that he issue orders at
once for the release of the ar
rested workers. The five organiza-
lions were: the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights, the International
Labor Defense, the Young Liberia

League and the Unemployment
Councils.
The Methodist Federation for So

31.-The Communist Party and
the Socialist Party in Ontario
here have formed united front
for joint fight "for higher local

Finally we were lined up against

signal for the police and detectives
to set to in earnest. Give them the
works again. the captain shouted.
Some tried to Chamber over the wall,
but it was drop of 60 feet below,
and they had to face the rain of
police clubs. Only because they were
tired, did they finally stop. Workers
were dragged by the arms, the neck,
the hair and thrown bodily into a
heap. About 80 men were in that
pile Of unconscious and semi-con-

cops yelled, Get the hell out Of

seemed miles down the road, while
the police dubbed the stragglers."

Especial to the Daily WORKER

MADRID, Oct. 31.-All the bru-
tality which marks the reign of fas-
cism in Germany and Austria is
being reproduced in the FLOODED
murder of revolutionary workers
now being carried out by the savage
mercenaries of the Spanish Govern
ment.
Carefully authenticated facts ex-
pose the horror of the repression
directed against the still battling
rebels and give the lie to the "atro-
city" stories of deeds committed by
workers, launched in a vain attempt
to ALLEVIATE the sympathy of the
Spanish masses and the interna-
tional proletariat.
The hospitals here are packed
with wounded men. Closed to all
visitors, entrance is denied even to
close relations, so great is the fear
of the authorities that some of
these men will talk and tell just
how they were wounded. The land
owners, the Jesuits and the army's
high command are afraid of the
anger that will run through the
world, when the world knows what
is being done in Spain. 1t is fas-
cism-true to type-which is fight
ing with INSCRIPTIONS cruelty for
the salvation of Spanish capitalism.
Execution in Streets
An example of summary execu-
ton is the account of student
named Ayala. He was very &C
tive member of the University Stud
ents' Federation of Madrid. The
Federation was until quite recently
united in its revolutionary attitude,
united in its support of the working
class. Lately a number of fascists
became members of the Federation.
With them Ayala was in constant
conflict. They hated him. They
denounced him to the police.
A few days ago at about seven
o'clock in the evening Ayala was
walking home with his mother and
brother. AS they came near his
home a section of military police
(Guardia de Asslto) stopped them.
One asked, "Are you Ayala?"
Eyes" he said, I'm Ayala."
Cali right. Pass along"
Ayala and his mother and
brother walked on towards home.
They went a few steps. Then the
guards shot Ayala in the back. He
fell dead at the feet of his mother
and brother.
In back room on the top floor
Of Ibiza Street a man was sitting
alone in the evening making coffee.
From a top window somewhere in
that street firing by Anarchists had
been reported. The soldiers broke
in.
