SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, July 25.
The Federal District Court of APP
peals today rejected the appeal for
Tom Mooney, who is still held in
San Quentin Prison despite over
whelming proof of his innocence,
and his recent acquittal on an in
dictment similar to the one on
which he was convicted on the
trumped-up charge of participating
in the bombing of the 1916 Pre-
paredness Parade in this city.
The court ruled that the case still
is in the jurisdiction Of the State
courts, which at the instructions of
California corporations helped in
framing Mooney.
Meantime, Leo Gallagher, Inter-
national Labor Defense attorney is
in the city preparing an appeal to

Torgler had been found dead in his

to the Nazi authorities resulted in

Communist Party Platform
For Fall Campaign Spurs
Fight on NRA Hunger Deal
Urges Toilers to Defend
Right to Organize, to
Strike and Picket

NEW YORK. - The con-
gressional election campaign
platform of the Communist
Party of the United States as
adopted by it's Central Com
mittee was made public today,
placing in the hands of the
American working class a powerful
weapon in their fight against the
increasingly sharp onslaughts of
capitalism on their elementary
political rights and living condi-
lions.
The program addresses itself to
the lsroadest toiling masses, who
have felt the heavy hand of Roose-
velt's MIRA, to embattled strikers
Drawing police guns, to impover-
ished farmers in the double grip OF
the drought and the banker, to
small businessmen ruined by the
New Deal and to all those other
constantly increasing numbers who
face the same prospects.
1t enuneiates clearly the belief Of
the Communist Party that this
election campaign must be "a start
ing point in the workers struggle
for political power, for a workers
government, for a Soviet govern
ment in the United States which
alone will bring the present CAPT.
talist crisis to an end in a manner
beneficial to the masses"
Mindful that the brutal fascist
terror turned against strikers in
San Francisco, Seattle, Toledo, Min
neapolis and Cleveland by govern
ment forces and the employers
threatens all American workers who
give organized expression to theil
resentment against New Deal op-
preston the platform raises as one
of its most important demands the
right to organize, to strike and te
picket.
The adoption of the platform
serves as the opening gun in local
state and national campaigns by the
Communist Party heretofore I'M
parelleled in scope and vigor.
The platform lists seven immedi.
ate demands for improving the con.
ditions of workers, poor farmer.
and small businessmen whose living
standards and incomes have beer
drastically cut by the New Deal
! under the guise of bringing about
recovery" The demands are;

Strike
At Detroit
MeatShops
Demand Wage Increases
and Recognition
of Union
By A. B. MAGH

Especial to the Daily Worker1
DETROIT, Mich, July 25.-Be-
tween 300 and 400 sausage workers
struck this morning under the lead
ership of the militant United
Sausage Workers Union, affiliated
to the Trade Union Unity League.
Mass picketing began at a. m.
The strike was voted unanimously
at an enthusiastic mass meeting last
night at Swiss Hail. Canton and
Gratiet AYES, attended by 400
workers from 16 shops. The work
ers' demands are: Wage increases
of from 20 to 30 per cent, a 4S-hour
week, time and half for overtime,
equal pay for equal work, no split
shift, recognition of shop commit
tees and the union.
Strike May Spread
At last nights meeting workers
from shops that had not been con-
tacted before were present, many of
them joining the union. It is prob
able that within the next "a hours
the strike will spread to additional
shops. Nat Ganley, T. U. U. L.
Organizer, reporting for the negotia-
tons committee, told how the
bosses association had rejected all
demands with the excuse that If the
big packing companies will increase
wages, they will do so too.
Representatives from all the shops
took part in the discussion, women
playing an especially prominent
role. A fighting spirit prevailed and
there was not a dissenting vote
when the strike vote was taken
Frank Roth, President of the union
acted as chairman.

into effect unless 100 strike
breakers, hired yesterday by the

Immediately discharged. This
was the declaration made by
strike leaders today as Federal

While States Attorney Thorn
as j. Courtney urged the stock
yards bosses and union leaders
to meet with him in a confer

from Wisconsin.
Work was at a standstill at
the yards following the walk-out
yesterday of 1000 workers,
members of the Live Stock Com
mission Mems Union, Local SIG,
and Local SIT of the Live Stock
Handlers Union.
With 10000 cattle in the
yards in the blistering 105-de-
gree heat, company bosses en-
listed white collar workers to
scab on the strikers. The scabs,
however, new to the work, could
not stop the deaths of several
hundred unattended cattle
About $4,000 of the cattle in the
yards are government-owned.

was not allowed to go through

for such a strike on the promise
that only union weighers would
man the cattle scales.
Preparations for picketing are
under way. The strikers demand

conditions and the reinstatement
of union men who were fired
