Strike
Is Started
On Coast
Longshoremen Out
Plot On to Rule the
|. L. d. Illegal

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL
Clearly showing that the dock
workers have not been crushed by
the anti-union, anti Communist
drive of the police, the courts and
the open shop employers of this
State, fifty longshoremen of Pier 80
walked out on strike here yesterday
against the firing of two members
of the working group.
At the city court, in the mean
time, the attempt to frame up
Joseph Wilson, secretary of the
local International Labor Defense,
goes on. The prosecution is at
tempting to stack the trial panel
with number of jurors used in
the conviction of Harry Jackson,
the marine union organizer.
An attempt is being made 70
prove that the LID. is an illegal"
body. Many witnesses of American
Federation of Labor unions will be
subpoenaed who will testify that
the LID. is a bona fide labor de-
Tense organization.
The legality OF the LID is not
the only issue in the trial. Joseph
Wilson, who is defending himself,
flung the question of the framing
of Tom Mooney into the courtroom
and placed on the record the ques-
ton of the terror against the Com
muniSt Party.

Huge Parade
Will Precede
Bronx Rally

NEW YORK. - Final plans for
what is expected will be one of the
greatest workers parades in the
history of the Bronx, on August %,
when Angelo Herndon will be
greeted at a city-wide mass welcome
meeting in the Bronx Coliseum,
have been announced by the Bronx
Section of the International Labor
Defense, which is arranging the
parade in conjunction with other
working class organizations.
All groups have been invited to
join in honoring the memory of the
murdered working class heroes,
Sacco and Vanzetti, on the seventh
anniversary of their legal murder.
The anniversary is being com
memorated throughout the country
as National Scottsboro Day in the
mass fight to save and free the nine
Scottsboro Boys and to smash the
chain gang verdict against Hern-
don. Many organizations have
already expressed their intention of
participating in full force.
The parade will start at 7:30 from
two points: 161st Street and Pros
pect Avenue, and st. Paul's Place
and Third Avenue, in the heart of
the Bronx Negro territory. Open
air meetings will be held at these
points, as well as at Washington
Ave. and Claremont Parkway, Will
kins and Intervale Avenues, and
Southern Boulevard and Trenton
Avenue, where the two parades
will converge. The open air meet
ings will start at 7 o'clock, and will
be addressed by prominent speak
ers, including Leon Blum, recently
released strike leader: Helen Lynch,
Bronx unemployed leader, and
Sadie Van Veen.

A resolution was introduced at

NEW YORK.-The reactionary
leadership headed by Thomas Mac
! Mahon gained complete control OF
the United Textile Workers Union
Executive Board at the election OF
officers yesterday afternoon. Thorn
as MacMahon was reelected to
office with only twenty votes OPP
posed.
Vice-Presidents Francis German
of Providence and william Kelly of
Phila., were reelected without any
opposition.
The Socialist Party leadership
headed by Emil Rieve of Milwaukee,
J played the leading role in the be-
trayal of the militant delegates who
voted Thursday for general cot
ton strike of half a million workers
Rieve. until the last minute, APP
peared before the convention, espe-
cially in the caucuses of the dele
cations, as the champion Of the
"progressives. Rieve let it be
known that he would run against
MacMahon.
Those militant delegates who
understood that MacMahon, if re-
elected, would do all possible to pre-
vent the carrying through Of the
strike vote, were misled into sup
porting Rieve.
At the last minute, Rieve, in
an obviously pre-arranged deal
with MacMahon, withdrew from
the elections. Instead, MacMa-
hon called him to the chair and
it was Rieve who welded the
gavel when MacMahon was
elected.
Undoubtedly the demand of the
textile workers for strike is so
strong that MacMahon will find it
extremely difficult, if not impossible
to head off strike. The strikes
are already spreading daily. Mac
Mahon's executive board has been
categorically instructed to call the
strike before Sept. /. In this posi-
ton, MacMahon will try to remain
in the leadership by going along
and calling the strike, if pressed
hard, and trying to end it at the
earliest moment.
The textile workers must now at
once organize their forces for strike,
not only in cotton but in the en-
tire textile industry The organiza-
ton of strong united front mill
committees in each mill, with every
department represented, to lead the
strike, is a necessary safeguard
against MacMahons attempts to
put brake on the struggle.
The Lovestonite leaders, Keller,
Rubinstein, Herman, ETC., who made
left sounding speeches at the con-
vention, when it came to a show
down, did not put up one of their
leaders as candidate against Mac
Mahon, although they were assured

NEW YORK.-Ella Reeve Bloor,
chairman, and Mabel Byrd, secre-
tary of the American Women's dele
cation to the International Wo-

ing statement on hearing of Japan's
new provocations against the Soviet
Union: While, we, the American
delegation to the International
Women's Congress Against War
and Fascism, were in Paris we wit
messed a very dramatic incident.
When it was announced that Japan

ping of munitions to Japan, pledged
to refuse to manufacture war
materials in the shops and to unite
men and women in a struggle
against the manufacture of war
munitions We pledged interna-
tional solidarity not only in words
but in actions.

of war again lowering oyer the
Soviet Union, we, the American
section of the International Wo-
mems Congress against War and
Fascism, renew our pledge made in
Paris to defend the Soviet Union
and to mobilize all our energy, all
our forces in behalf of the workers

only land where the toiling masses
rule and to fight with the workers
and peasants Of the world against
imperialist war and fascism.

MOSCOW, Aug. II. = The
unbrided anti-Soviet cam
paign in Manchuria continues.
Japanese-controlled Manchu-
rian newspapers are trying to
surpass each other in pub
fishing the widest inventions
against the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.
Yesterday, for instance, all Har-
bin newspapers, as if by order, pub
lished sensational report with
provocative accuse tons against the
Soviet Consular Station at Pogra-
nichnaya.
Iabin newspapers went so far
as to accuse the Soviet Consulate,
particularly Consul Stelmakh Of
nothing less than the organization
Of armed raids on the station of
the Japanese military mission in
Pogranichnaya and similar malic-
ious absurdities.
Inspired Provocations
This sensational" invention of
the Japano- Manchurian newspapers
shoys that the provocateurs are not
restricting themselves to raids on
the Chinese Eastern Railway but
that they are preparing more SER
ious provocation around the Soviet
Consulate.
Well informed Hardin circles as
sert there is quite definite proof
that these provocatory newspaper
reports concerning the Pogranich-
maya Consulate were inspired by
the Japanese military mission in
Hardin.
simultaneously with this out
rageous anti-Soyiet campaign and
the intensification of provocatory
actions aong the Chinese Eastern
Railway generally, the Manchurian
police have started a campaign
against the cultural and cooper
alive institutions of the employees
Of the Chinese Eastern.
Hinder Soviet Citizens
Police, for instance, have issued
new order restricting the trade
Of the travelling cooperative shops
running on the Chinese Eastern.
These travelling co-operatives, in ac-
cordance with the Manchurian po-
lice order, must now get special per-
mission for each journey, and sub
NIT to other restrictions.
This new provocation has the
same aim as the others, namely, to
create conditions making work on
the Chinese Eastern Railway i'm
possible for Soviet subjects. The
police order places employees of the
railway in a very difficult position,
because the travelling cooperative
shops are the only means of sup
plying necessities to railway work
s.s scattered at small stations in
lninhabited localities.

Japanese political parties are

Hailed as a hero after his return
from Geneva as chief of the dele
cation to the League of Nations
Manchurian debate, Matsuoka's
first public act after his arrival in
Toxic was to resign from the Diet
and form his own party, to stump
the country in a campaign to de-
stry political parties of every
shade.
Matsuoka is a fervent patriot. He
has the soul of Samurai. He Is
appealing particularly to the youth
of Japan, urging a return to Spar
tan simplicity in public life and
the ways of simple honesty.
He denies he is a Japanese Mus
solini, but that is about as good a
description of him and his program
as can be given in such short space.
Sons to Shift for Selves

Old school politicians here tell
me Matsuoka Is not getting any
where with his campaign. From
other sources / hear that his meet
ings are packed with the younger
generation and that among them

Assailed on all sides as they are,
