Police Gas
7 Children
At Eviction
Cops, FearingNeighbOrs,
Flee Without Making
Eviction

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. l.
Workers modified by the Unem-
ployment Council are hourly guard
ing the home of John Sutko, an
unemployed worker living at 4513
North Sixteenth Street, after the
constable and eight police hurled
tear gas into the house last Mon
day and gassed seven children in
an attempt to evict the family.
A number of attempts had been
made to eYict Sutko; each attempt
being frus rated by the workers who
massed before the home. At 7
o'clock Monday morning the con-
stable and eight police battered
down the door, hurled tear gas
bombs inside, and, fearing the anger
of the neighbors, quickly retreated.
A two-year-old child was made un-
conscious, and Sutko's six other
children we're blinded and sickened
by the gas.
A workers delegation elected at
a mass meeting before the home
protested this heinous attack at the
City Council and the office Of the
Police Chief, demanding the imme-
date provision of the relief de-
mands presented by the workers at
the mass meeting before the City
Hall on Oct. 20. These demands,
fully supported by the Unemploy-
ment Councils, call for union wages
and conditions on the relief jobs,
doubling of the present relief, no
discrimination, no evictions, and
enactment of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.

This occurred as Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace. admitted in
general press conference that
drought relief is being substantially
curtailed although the Agricultural
Department has not and will not
officially remove any areas from
the official list of drought coun-
ties" eligible to relief. The drought
relief program, helalded at its in
ceptiun as program to grant
$500 100000 relief to the farmers,
has spent less than fifty million dol
lars.
Federal Relief Administrator Hop
kins' office gave out a report which
they received from Denver police.
They said it explained that "only
% out Of the 5000 people on work
relief in Denver struck" They
didn't know" how many of the
several hundred picketers who were
attacked we're relief workers from
Arapahoe County. The police also
reported that ten relief workers
from Arapahoe County were ar
rested" OF these mine didn't
amount to anything and one was a
paid agitator' This, apparently,
was the basis for the press associa-
tons description Of the demonstra-
ting relief workers as strike agita-
tors" Officials here said they
didn't know the meaning of the po-
lice designations, but presumed" it
meant that the one was a Commu-
mist, the others not.
A few days ago the governor Of
Colorado asked Relief Adminis,ra-
tor Hopkins to remove the State
Relief Administrator, one Of the de-
mands of the demonstrators. Hop
kins, whose say-so controls the app
pointment, refused, saying the State
official is doing a good job"
Secretary Wallace explained to-
day that in virtually all drought
counties cattle buying is being cut
down, and he presumed that relief
agencies also are "tempering their
activities to conditions without for
mally taking the counties off the
list"
Asked what he thought of prices,
Wallace said: 1T seems to me
prices have behaved themselves in a
very sensible way" He said the
referendum on continuation of the
operation of the Bankhead crop
control (destruction) program would
be delayed until after an "educa-
ton" campaign is carried on in the
South.

WGUe Of Protests
At albany attacks
Floods Coz. Lehman

A mounting wave of protests swept
countless kilograms into the office
Of Governor Lehman at Albany
yesterday Forty residents of Troy
sent collective protest; ten Albany
ministers joined with Rev. George
A. Oldham, Protestant Episcopal
Bishop of Albany in his protest to
Mayor Thatcher and in demand
for a thorough investigation. The
American Civil Liberties Union also
filed official protests to the police
actions. The editors of The Monthly
Review, a representative publication
Of the professional and white collar
workers, sent telegram to Lehman
at his New York home protesting
the brutal denial of constitutional
rights" and demanding release OF
arrested persons and insist you an
nounce willingness to receive I'M
employed delegation.
Echoes of the police attack re-
sounded in Philadelphia as work
ers' groups besieged Lehman with
protests. Jennie Cooper, Secretary
and Norris Wood. chairman of the
Eastern District Unemployment
Councils sent kilograms in the name
of the Councils demanding the re-
lease of all arrested mLrchers and
that Lehman Immediately meet
with the unemployed delegates.
Engineers Protest
From the Macy Department Store

protests. The Federation of Archi-
tects, Engineers, Chemists and
Technicians, in the name of its
5000 members, and in support of
the marchers, two of whom repre-
sented the Federation, protested
vigorously.
The City Central Committee of
the International Workers Order,
as well as countless numbers OF its
branches, sent vigorous protests in
the name of its 10000 members in
New York State. A number of the
delegates were members Of the In
ternational Workers Order.
The Organization Board of the
Nature Friends Of America, Unem-
ployment Council locals, groups Of
relief workers on the projects, white
collar workers, Communist Party
and Young Communist League

Labor Defense and numerous trade
unions added their protests in the

ton Conference in New York City
a few weeks ago, and his refusal
TO be in Albany on Nov l, which
was the first step in the mobiliza-
tion Of the police against the IN
employed Conference in Albany.
The mass struggle Of the delegation
from all parts of the state, which
were not terrorized by the open
fascist methods of the authorities,
has forced Lehman to shift his
position.
After refusing comment on the
situation in Albany, characterizing
it as "a local matter" Lehman
admits now that he is in close
telephone contact with Albany,
with the Mayor, Chief of Police,
etc. Support given the fighting
unemployed by the workers, unenl-
ployed, veterans, farmers, liberals
and church people throughout the
state and country, and the wide
spread, nationwide resentment
against the fascist New Deal, ex-
pressed through this attack, has
compelled Lehman to resort to
maneuvers. He hopes that the
Democratic Party will not suffer
too great losses in the coming cleo
ton. His hypocritical "interest"
in the 100000 unemployed of New
York will fool nobody.
Moses hopes to capitalize on the
situation to gain support for the
Republican Party, but the Repub-
lican Party has nothing to offer
the unemployed but a sales tax.
Charles Solomon, whose party
consistently refuses a united front
with the Communists, and is not
participating in this struggle of
the unemployed, protests" against
police brutality, while his COL
leagues, the Socialist Mayors of
Bridgeport and Milwaukee, use
similar fascist methods against the
unemployed of those cities.
Only the Communist Party fully
supports, actively participates in
the struggle of the unemployed,
for the program of the Commu-
mist Party are the demands of the
unemployed which the Communists
put in the forefront of their pro-
gram of struggle.
Workers of New York, the New
Deal is in action against the
workers of New York. Roosevelt
Lehman, Hoover-Moses, represent
our enemies. Vote for your Party.
Vote Communist.

Demonstration
Thousands of Workers
Pledge TO Support the
Communist Candidates

DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. Twenty
five hundred workers massed at
the County Court House here yes
terday after search by several
hundred demanding relief and
enactment Of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill.
The $500 workers listened and
applauded enthusiastically while
speakers from the Unemployment
Councils and the Communist Party
set forth the demand of Daytons
growing army of unemployed.
In the past, a series of demon
STATIONS have been held at the City
Hall, demanding that the city Off
cially endorse the Workers Bill, the
genuine unemployment insurance
bill initiated by the Communist
Party and incorporated in the Com
munist election platform. In each
case the City Council evaded the
issue.
Yesterday, Walter Jones, Com
munist candidate for Congress,
told of the fight waged by the
Communist Party for the Workers
Bill and the day to day struggles
for adequate relief.
All workers present agreed to
GUST the politicians now in office,
especially Commissioner Carr, who
was hiding in his office while the
workers demonstrated, and vote for
Harry Williamson, Communist cam
didate for County Commissioner.
An important feature Of this
march and demonstration, one of
the greatest held by the workers of
Dayton, was the presence of many
children, who were kept from school
by their parents.

the reactionary leaders as the only
way that will bring about the trans
formation of the organizations from
tools serving capitalism into
instruments of class struggle. In
turn, the building of the opposition
requires the strengthening of the
Party in the organizations as the
driving force of the opposition.
Militant workers understand this
well. And those who realize the
need of developing rank and file
leadership and opposition movement
in the mass organizations will
come to understand also, if cor
rectly approached, that their place
is in the ranks of our Party.
Our task then, is to approach
these workers! The celebrations OF
the 18th Anniversary of the Oc-
tober Revolution on November 7th
must be utilized by the Party for
the mobilization of each individual
Party member and thousands OF
militant workers in the recruiting
drive.
Let us call special meetings OF
sympathizers of the militant work
ers in the A. F. of l.. unions, in the
revolutionary unions and other or
CARNATIONS, to discuss our program
and policy with them, to convince
them that their place is in the
Communist Party of the U. S. A
Let us make them understand that
their task, together with us, is tc
build mass Party to lead the
coming struggles, to lead to vic
torious overthrow of the capitalist
systemic a Soviet America.

Personal Discussion
With Workers Brings
New Members
BY F. BROWN

There is no industrial center to-
day, large or small, where strikes
do not constantly break out. The
masses of employed workers feel a
sharp tightening of the chains of
the N. R. A. codes, feel more and
more the increasing burden of
rising prices. The masses of I'M
employed all over the country are
extending their struggle against re-
lief cuts, for adequate winter relief.
The poor farmers feel the crushing
effects of the A. A. A. and are
gathering their forces for more
determined struggle for their needs.
A powerful united front movement
is being built between the employed
and the unemployed around the
struggle for unemployment and So
cial insurance, against the growing
danger of FaScism and imperialist
war.
No truce, no maneuverS no con-
centration camps, no fascist reaction
will stop the masses in their
struggles for better standard of
living. The approaching winter
will bring even more suffering to
the toiling masses, still higher
prices and greater unemployment as
already indicated by the figures of
the Department of Labor and the
American Federation of Labor, more
misery for the poor farmers. Yet
the government and the bosses
have in store for the employed
workers new slashes in wages; for
the unemployed, a slash in relief.
The trend is to lower the standard
of living of the masses as the

CRATER Expelled

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 1.-George
w. MilIner, third vice president OF
the International Longshoremen'S
Association, and four others, were
expelled from I. L. A. local 976 fol-
stealing money or being responsible
for stealing it. The others were
David Aston, Eddie Green and J.
M. Gallop and H. Smith, all ex-
officers of the local. The books OF
these men we're audited by certi-
fed accountant and found to be S.
754.48 short.
The case has been dragged out
for over a year after the local put
the matter in the hands of a lawyer
On Oct. the local called a meeting
and suspended the officers. A week
later they were expelled.
The I. L. A. Rank and File Com
mittee declares, "the vote for sus-
pension was sixty to eleven, and fo-
expulsion the vote was 103 to g.
Mr.. Millner then sneaked into local
1913 of the I. L. A. and he hangs
around the hall all day attacking
locals 978 and 1921 and the Com
munists. He has sent his agent Mr.
Anderson into I. L. A. and Marine
Workers Industrial Union meetings
to spy on the workers. Mi.lner
raises the red scare to hide the fact
that he stole the union money. He
played a sell out role in local 1921,
and is responsible for the condition
of the men at Sewell's Point, where
they only made $98 per man for
the year 1888. He helped Joseph
Ryan, I. L. A. president, put over a
ten per cent pay cut. Millner Of
fered to furnish scabs for the
bosses last May when the docks
struck under the leadership of the
M. w. I. U. 1t was not only the
Communist, who kicked Millner out,
as the vote shows, but all the long
shoremen regardless of political
belief.
"The Communist Party, support
ing the fight of the I. L. A. members
warns local 1913 that Millner is not
hanging around the hall for any
good. He is maneuvering TO get
hold of the job Of business manager,
which will pay him $35 a week. We
ask local 1913 to follow the ex-
ample of local 1921 and 978 and
kick him out of the local and out of

Five hundred Harvard students

These Harvard students saw how

that the students had booed Burlak.

NEW YORK, Jan. II GN.S).
Cotton futures again moved for

Trading was featured by gen.

enced in some time.
The foreign trade came into the
ring with a rush, while Wall

newed operations on the buying
side.
There was little cotton for sale,
such offerings as were in the
market coming from the South.
At the noon hour, futures were
