nor Olson's hooking speech. the
second day to hitting the Rayburn
Communications Bill, and the third
to the election Of Hayward Broun,
A resolution was passed sharply
condemning the press for the dis
honest and distorted manner in
which the activities of the conyen-
ton were reported. The false argu-
ment Of the publishers that the
communications bill did not rep
resent an attack on the freedom of
the press in time of war or ma
tionsl peril" was not accepted by
the convention.
Despite the fine report of the
contracts committee which set
forth the essential provisions to be
contained in local contracts with
publishers, in which loud warning
was issued against the trap OF arbi-
tration machinery, there was a
shining failure to indicate what the
next step will be in forcing pub
fishers to meet guild representatives.
This is in fact the crux Of the
present situation. Newspapermen
Will have to begin forcing publishers
to meet them. through demanding
concessions on the basis of indivi-
dual shop strength. They will have
to abandon the idea that their
leaders can win demands merely on
the basis of friendly or unfriendly
conversations with publishers or
publisher organizations.

Do You Know Thaelmann?
BY Henri BarbusSe

aud besides this moral cam

Jour times put words to strange
test. 1t is a regular prosecution
which has its purpose making the
Communist Party, and ThseI-
mann, its leader, responsible for
everything that has happened
during the last ten years, that is
everything blameworthy.
If Nazi was killed during this
period, then Thaelmann is his
intellectual assassin" If some
shop was piIlaged (even by the
Nazis), he is the rObber If some
one got hold of a weapon, it is
Thaelmann who "is preparing the

they burst all the barriers of

is personally resonpiSble.
And the memorandum on the
Communist Party, lsb0riousIy
written by spies, or under their
supervision, to be distributed Sec
reilly to the judges, contains a
whole cOneOcted list of the chiefs
of high. treason.
In the face of such crude stag
ing, such ignOminiOus stage-t tricks,
one must not say: WHO wishes to
prove too much proves nothing"
or who grabs too much holds
nothing we'll" For the authors of
these grotesque and idotic products

the same time those who hold the
power of the State. One can place
no confidence in the common
Sense-I will not say in the jus
tice-Of judges who are terroriged

Thaelmann's counsel will prob-
ably be a proved informer, of the
sort with which Dimitroff was

entrance to the court, will

The Saving of Thseimann Is
Our Victory
THAELMANN is the head and

the German proletariat. The Ger

other German worker. The life
of this man is sacred to all.
The workers of the whole world

Endorses Bill II. r. 1898

ST. PAUL. MINI, June lathe
American Newspaper Guild at its
second national convention which
ended here last Friday, declared its
full support of the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill CHR. 1899
Delaying its decision on whether or
not to affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor, the Guild un-
dertook to support and cooperate
with other workers in the newspaper
industry, organized and unorganized.
The convention went so far as to
offer to help unorganized workers
in departments other than the edi-
torial rooms in forming a union of
their own.
More than 10 city guilds we're
represented by 100 delegates at the
four-day convention, at which for
the first time newspapermen began
to talk of the idea that whatever
they can get they will have to get
through their own efforts.
One of the features Of the
convention was a documentary re-
citation Of the Washington run
around the Guild had been sub
jected to in its efforts at recogni-
ton.
When the convention demanded
that General johnson GUST George

publishers" johnson wired back that
he would mot be dictated to-" The
Guild now plans to lay its case be-

".
The militant worker must know.
But know what? Not the whole
complicated and muItieOIored en-
cyclopedia with which the mind
of the schOolboy is stuffed for a
while. But he must know men.
He must know life. He must
know the events Of history. He
must know the teachings Of the
forerunners and the fathers Of
the revolution. He must know
theory, in order to guide his
practice.
Why did Thaelmann let him
self be taken, and how? First Of
all because an entire multitude
had been modified, from one end
of the Reich to the other. to seize
him: $4,000 uniformed police, 5000
in civilian clothes and $4,000 Steel
Helmets. A 5000 mark reward had
been offered to whoever turned
him over. One hundred thOus-
and photographs had been dis
tributed.
But if Thaelmann was taken,
IL was not merely because of that.
1t was because he wanted to re-
main in Germany. He was urged
to leave. He refused. He recalled
the words which Karl Liebknecht
and Rosa Gutenberg had said in
January, 1919, to their friends
who likewise urged them to flee
from Grmany: when the white
terror bursts, when it is neces-
Sary to gather strength, the lead
ers must remain close to the
Party and close TO the masses"
A Horrible Plot
AND ever since ThaeImann was
n thrown into the secrecy of the
catacOmbs of the Reich, where
so much suffering has cried out
and so many lives have been
destroyed, the most mOnstrous and
atrOciOus judicial plot that has
ever been perptrated is being con-
coted. The Hitlerites have never
known how to build up and or
ganize anything but a judicial
farce on the lines of grand spec
tacIe, hut in their single positive
speciality they have exceeded all
presidents.
The charges against him are
not yet known. All that Is known
is that the State Police have gone
to the managers of all the houses
Of Ill fame in Berlin and Ham
burg, to all the keepers of brOthels
and gangsters' hangouts, to buy
false testimony from them, with
which they can publicly spatter
Thaellmann with mud. The search
for documents of disgrace, at a
price, has been practiced in the
most methodical manner.
At the same time, the Ministry
of Propaganda has hired a num-
Der of political renegades and has
ordered some literary works from
these scOundreIs, which are sup
posed to soil the private life of
Ernst Thaelmsnn by cleverly in
vented revelations" One of these
books has already appeared. But
it does not seem that this filth is
worth what 1t cost the German
taxpayer.
The series Is being continued.

Nazi Hoodlums Disrupt
Meeting in Ridgewood


NEW YORK.-An organized gang
Of IS Nazis disrupted an Anti-Fas-

auspices Of the American League
Against War and Fascisn in Ridge
wood, Friday night.
They yelled Jude" German for
jew in chorus. at German
speaker and at one from the Com
munist Party, and kicked and
punched several workers.

donck and Myrtle Ave, next Fri

and grOtesque outrage. In his case
there is nothing of the Reichstag
trial or Of anything else Of that
sort. His head is wanted because
it is the head of the German
Communist Party. He is accused
Of that directly, and that is called
his crime. He is officially con-
demned, have said. That does
not mean that he will be con-
victed. His life depends on the
world proletariat, which must seize
it, which must win it as vic
tory. The people Of the world
are strong enough to gain this
victory.
At the Butler Hall, Thaelmann
said to the Partisan workers:
Our cause is your cause" 1t is
true. 1t is true of the final VIC
tory. Tt is true of the temporary
defeat, Our cause is his, his cause
is ours. The solidarity of the
workers makes all this one tragic
whole.
ERNST THAELMANN threw
Il himself eagerly and with all
his force into the defense of all
the victims. Of all the martyrs of
the workers cause, He defended
the men of the Russian Revolu-
ton at the moment when the i'm
perialists surrounding them tried
to kill them and their work. He
defended the Rueggs, handed over
to reactionary China by England:
he aroused feeling for Sacco and
Vanzetti, for Tom Mooney: he
reused the wrath of the workers
against the assassin of Matteotti
and the torturer of Gramsci: he
revealed and delivered to the
hatred Of the masses Pilsudski
and Horthy, procurers of the GAL
lows and the torture chambers:
and Tsankoff, who massacred
10000 BulgarianS and plotted the
destruction Of the Cathedral of
Sofia behind the scenes. And il
he were not buried alive today.
his strong voice would be raised
against the fascist murderers of
Vienna-and also against those Of
Paris.
In behalf Of the pure Commu-
mist Ernst Thselmann. of the
German anti-fascism which is
part of him and which has not
surrendered, I appeal not only to
the Communists, but to all work
ers, without regard to opinions
and tendencies. In behalf of the
emancipation of the exploited and
the oppressed, I appeal to all the
exploited and all the oppressed.
To the youth who will some day
profit by bis work. And NAV the
social-democratic workers help to
save him-they whom he would
have saved If they had listened
to him.
All you who toll in the hope Of
a Just society, arise!
This moment is very grave and
very solemn. The supreme chal-
lenge is thrown to you.
Know how to act. Know how
to cry out, mol" And know how
to live that cry! Be worthy of
our cause. Thaelmann must be
freed
