POLICE THINK

CHIEF 81 AIN

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 20. U.P)-
Police expressed fear today that
William big Bill Weiss, abducted
from his home October 26, had been
slain by underworld gunner.
Ransom Of 100000 was demand
ed-and reported paid-but lack OF
word from Weiss led to increasing
fear that he had met a horrible
death said to have been threaten
ed in the kidnapers' notes to his
family.
Weiss was the alleged master
mind OF pre-repeal alcohol rack
ct. Fear Of reprisals upon mem
bers of the Weiss family and his
associates have sealed their lips.
Authorities, however, intimated that
gang shootings in New York, Cleve-
land and Baltimore, were connect
ed with the alcohol war that led
to the abduction of Weiss.
Officials investigated a report
that two gunner, recently released
from prison, had a grudge against
Weiss and may have taken him for

hAMCNIS FOOTBALL FEETS!

MALE always will have score to even
L with Princeton, even though it wins
every game against the Tigers from now to
the year 2OOO
It's all because Arthur Poe. Princeton
quarter away back IN 1898, stole the ball
froma Yale man and galloped l00yards for
the winning touchdown in go game.
Durnstine of Yale was blowing through
the Princeton line from the Tigers 2-yard
stripe when Doc Hillebrand, Princeton
man, colared him. Poe slid in behind the
Yale halfback, snatched the bali from UNI
der his arm "a play entirely legal - and
hot-footed it for the Yale goal.

jamin, lale player, caught up with the fly

of the employers. He carries out every wish of the
Real Estate Board The Real Estate Board insists
on arbitration" because they know that "arbitra-
ton" will rob the building workers of all their de-
mands, LaGuardia, ne did in the taxi strike,
and in the elevator strike in the garment center,
tells the workers they must bind themselves in ad
vance to accept all the decisions of an impartial
board which will inevitably rule in favor of the Real
Estate Board.
The representative of William Green William
Collins, and the president of Local BIB, Building
Service Employees, James Bambrck readily accepted
LaGuardas proposals, deserted the interests of the
union members, and accepted compulsory arbitra-
ton. On the question of the closed shop, these
A. F. of L. leaders placed in the hands of r. In
gerso Brooklyn Borough president the fate of their

Francis German broke the textile strike, is i'm
partial" chairman of committee of three to de-
eide this question. The Real Estate Board has
refused to "arbtrate the closed shop fatty refus-
ing to recognize the union.
The building service employees of New York City
can now see that LaGuardias administration
operates in the interests of the employers, using
police permits, and forced arbitration to break
strikes.
The rank and file members of the building SER
vice unions should organize rank and file opposi-
ton and prepare to strike under the leadership of
the rank and file. Union leaders who accept such
compulsory arbitration betray the interests of the
union members.

The NeeV Attack on the
Marine Workers

THE New Deals more intense and open
attack on the living standards of the
workers is expressed very clearly in the
renewed drive against the West Coast
longshoremen and seamen.
1t is not an accident that this attack
is directed especially against the marine workers.
because of militant struggle and Communist lead
ership they proved to be of the few in basic in
dustries to wrest significant gains during the past
year.
1t took three month strike and General Strike
to force wage increases and the 3O-hour week in
the West Cc7st ports It was TIC th~c-t C strike
which forced the gains on the East Coast
Now only a month SINCE Tie &-J.....y-.-l award
was handed down to the West Coast long5horemen,
the shipowners are already violating the agreement
The shipowners refuse to abide by even the joint
hiring hail. but insist that the men register with
the blacklistng fink halls, crowd around on
waterfronts to be chosen by hiring boss. Many
shipping companies refuse to pay the overtime rate
after six hours. Despite the fact that the West
Coast seamen's unions have been recognized and
their demands have been placed for arbitration in
the hands of the Roosevelt Board, it is almost
four months since the strike ended, yet decision
was made. The shipowners are determined to take
back the gains of the workers.
The workers, however are aware of every man
euver of the bosses and resist at every instance Sew
eral dock strikes now in progress in San Fran
cisco and from indications another coast-wide strike
may flare any moment.
But what is the role of the president of the
International Longshoremens Association, Mr..
Joseph Ryan, in such situation? Upon complaint
of shipowners he sent a telegram to San Francisco
and warns the workers that if they do not be
have" the charter will be withdrawn. Ryan there
by assures the shipowners that if they bring the
struggle with the union to head he will be ready,
as in the previous strike, to try and break it. He
will charter a local composed of scabs.
Longshoremen and seamen in every port should
realize that the attack against the West Coast long
shoremen is aimed at the workers of the entire
industry. East Coast longshoremen gained from
the struggle on the West Coast, but will have their
wages cut, and speed-up increased if the present
attack OF the shipowners is successful. The dec-
sion on the seamen on the East Coast is now
stalled pending the outcome on the West Coast
Longshoremen and seamen in all locals should
demand that the entire organization be rallied be-
hind the fight the West Coast
Demand that an immediate decision be made
on the seamen, whose solidarity made possible the
complete tieup.
Ryan's strikebreakng threats must be exposed
to every member of the LILA.

Wall St. Plots to Arm Fascists Unite gainst Fascsm
An Editorial

Butler and will finance General Macarthur or Cen
eral McNder, or any other general?
The fight against fascism must be Speeded up,
to heights never before known in this country. It
must embrace the broadcast toiling and middle class
masses 1t must become vigiant, active and go into
the offensive now against every fascist move against
every terrorist act against every attempt to destroy
workers rights against every effort to destroy the
trade unions, against every lynch attack on the
Negro masses.
The most solid backbone of this struggle against
fascism must be the united front between the So
cialist and Communist Parties
Certainly every Socialist Party member will be
alarmed by these revelations of Butler. He must
be more alarmed with an understanding of the
broader moves towards fas1sm of the Roosevelt
regime, and the extra-legsl forces of American
finance capital He must act now He must ap-
proacn his leaders, his fellow members in The So
ciaIst Party and demand: Why can't we eStab-
lish the united front with the Communists against
fascism noW?"
All of fascist history shows with iron certainty
that the first attack is always against Communists
and Socialists-primarily against Communists, be-
cause they are the boldest and most revolutionary
fighters against capitalism. Then the full brunt of
the attack is leveled against the Socialists.
Socialists! Are we going to wait until dupont
Morgan. Mellon, Ford, and the others have their
armed bands organized before we form our united
front against fascsm, war and hunger?
The Socialist international has already declared
the matter of the united front should be taken up
by the parties in each country. The last meeting
OF the National Executive Committee declared it
would wait until it received an expression on this
question from the Socialist International. They
now say it is up to the party in each country.
We are confronted concretely with this situation
OF the actual steps towards the organization of
from 100000 to 100000 fascists armed to the teeth
well supplied with money, and backed by the most
powerful financial forces in the country.
Let us not wait until it is too late Let lis con-
front the enemy now with our united action.
The united front against fascism will be formed
in this country between the Socialist Party and the
Communist Party. Let form it now!

Two Thirds Raised

EORTY thousand dollars, two-thirds of
L the sum needed, has been raised to
date in the Daily Worker 100000 drive.
This is by no means an Insignificant
achievement when one considers the pow
erty of the great mass of the tolers on whom the
Daily Worker must necessarily rely. 1t has been
their self-sacrifice and energetic work which has
brought these splendid results.
But we must still emphasize that only two-thirds
of the amount has been raised. 1t is necessary
to raise the full amount-s6OO0O Only then will
the existence Of the Daily Worker be reasonably
secure.
Two Observation-Disclosures and Boston-have
gone over the top
Four other Districts-Denver, WV Haven, New
ark and Detrot-are nearing the top, and with
determined effort can quickly raise their quotas.
The other Districts, among them the most i'm
portant-New York, Chicago Cleveland, Pittsburgh
Milwaukee and Minneapolis trailing. 1t is
these most important districts having the largest
quotas which have the future of the Daily" in
their hands.
We urge the leading comrades, the members of
the District Buro, particularly in Chicago and New
York to assume personal responsibility for the re-
mainder of the drive. Put your district over the
top by December 1st!

German Peasants
In Many Sections
Fight Against Police

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-In several re-
gions of Germany, notably in Ba-
varia, in Eastern Prussia, in the
Rhineland and the Palatinate ser:-
Gus fighting has broken out among
the peasants, directed against the
police. An official communication
from the Prussian press states that
"as result of negotiations with
local units of the Steel Helmets and
the Storm Troops, as well as the
mobile corps of the Nazi party, a
body of constables is to be recruited
from among the members of these
organizations" This is an authori-
tative admission of the economic
ruin and unrest of the rural popu-
lation, which is showing increasingly
active hostility to Hitler's regime.

LaGuardia>>>Strikebrea

MAYOR LA GUARDIA has again shown
vi his true colors in his attempt to pre-
vent the strike of the building service en-
ployes. La Guardia tried to settle the
strike on the employers terms. He said
in his letter to the Real Estate Board: I have
read in the papers that you have offered to sub
nit existing differences to arbitration I no
reason why all existing differences cannot be set
tied by arbitration"
Yesterday LaGuardia said that the demands
"must be settled by arbitration" He declared he
would not allow the building service to be inter
rupted. and that it was matter of the health
Of tenants.
1Iayor LaGuardia gave the Real Estate Board
free hand to organize the biggest army of strike
breakers and pug-uglies ever collected in New York
City. This army of thousands of guards"
rounded up by such private detective agencies as
the Bergof'S, Flynn, Pinkerton, and other scab-
hsrders Thousands Of strongarned men, backed
by police gun permits and night sticks, have been
recruited
Mayor LaGuardia did not say a single word
against the strikebreaking army large proportion
of which are members of the underworld and whose
criminal records are well known. His city Police
Commissioner Valentine, is responsible for the fact
that hirelings Of these private scabherdng agencies
are allowed firearm permits and nightsticks.
When the A. F. of L. Rank and File Committee
through Louis Weinstock, its national secretary,
telegraphed LaGuardia protesting against the is
suance of these gun permits by the LaGuardia APP
pointee, LaGuardia took no action. He simply
turned the telegram over to Valentine. LaGuardia
turned a deaf ear to the demand of the A. F. of
L. Rank and File for an investigation and for revok-
ing of the permits and disarning and disbandon-
ment of the mobsters hired to break the strike.
But LaGuardia is more sensitive to the demands

regime, were ready to supply the guns for the fas
cst army.
That they counted on support from Roosevelt
is also shown when MacGuire, the intermediary
between the banks and Butler, told the General:
Things are moving nicely, and the President is
going to the Right"
The basic reason for the revelations as well as
the fascist developments in the United States, is
the fact that the Roosevelt regime, not only is not
solving the general crisis of capitalism but is in
tensfying it. The attacks against the workers liv
ing standards grow more ferocious Relief is being
Slashed fors the unemployed Yet, on the other
hand, the masses are moving into action through
great strike struggles and preparations for still
greater battles. (The unemployed and employed are
going into action against the offensive to cut down
relief) The forces are growing in the struggle for
social insurance Roosevets demagogy is not suffi-
cient to impede the path of mightier struggles
In this situation, the capitalists recognize that
they must proceed, not only with the development
of fascsm through the usual, democratic" course
of the government apparatus, but must set up their
extra legal bands to prepare for the bloody estab
lishment of their open dictatorship.
So vast have these preparations been, to so great
an extent have they been undertaken, that it was
inevitable that just such revelations must have
broken sooner or later.
But every worker is faced with a serious prob
lem. Here are revelations of fascist Developments
that cannot be ignored. They emphasize and I'M
derline what the Communist Party has been point
ing out since the inauguration of the Roosevelt
gine Fascism is speeding apace. Whoever hopes
to defeat it by depending on the democratic" ira
dtions of America, by just hiding his head in the
sand and thinking fascist dictatorship is impos-
sibe in the United States is effectively helping to
speed fascist developments in this country.
MUST wait until the armed bands are march
quarters, smashing Socialist and Communist meet
ing places, numbering workers?
Do we have to wait until the march on wash

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October ls.-Discuss-
ing industrial recovery, Alfred P. Sloan,
jr., president Of General Motors, says
in the American Magazine today: MY
hopes for the future are unreserved.
But progress is up TO US. To achieve
1t we must encourage constructive ef-
fort, stimulate the exercise of initiative
and establish confidence in the belief
that constructive performance justi-
fies the opportunity of reasonable re-
ward and that the fruits Of the reward
will be protected"
Mr.. Sloan criticizes any national
policy which is based on the policy
that we must live merely by dividing
up the available jobs" He explains:
Adversely is a stimulant to thought
and action. This is true with the in
dividual, the community, the Nation
and the world at large. War is good
illustration. 1t accelerates progress
in science and industry. Under the
urge Of self-preservation we begin to
think.
There is better illustration fresh
in our minds-the world economic de-
preston. We found ourselves plunged
into the pit. Then we began TO think
not only how to get out Of it, but how
to stay out of it. We are determined
now, out Of our unhappy experience,
to build stronger and better for hap
pier future. Inertia of the human
mind is the greatest impediment to
progress. Adversely sets the mind in
motion.
In the past, nations have gone
through situations similar TO the pres
ent."
