A Lesson from 'L'Humanite"
in the San Fran
cisco general strike are the
swift expressions of interna-
tional solidarity actions. On
the Pacific coast, from Van
Canada, to Colima,
Mexico, the marine and coast
workers pledged their solidarity in
the struggle, and Immediately be-
gan to raise funds for strike relief.
In Yokohama, Drawing the fero-
cious terror of the japanese war
lords. the japanese seamen distrib-
uted leaflets calling on workers in
Nagasaki, Kobe, Osaka, Yokohama,
and other ports. to refuse to handle
scab cargo and to demonstrate their
solidarity with their American
brothers.
The Italian workers under the
iron heel of faScisn, also, saw the
splendid action of the crew of $50
American workers on the Dollar
Line ship President Hayes, who
walked off at Genoa and were at

otto BAUER, Austrian Socialist
" leader who brags about his pres
ervation of the capitalist regime in
Austria in the revolution of 1918,
and who pleaded on his Bonded
knees that Dollfuss accept Social
ist cooperation for a two-year gov
eminent by decree, just when the
fascist cannons we're being unlim-
bered against the Austrian workers
in February, is reported on his way
to the United States.
Not long ago Bauer wrote an ar
ticle in the Brno (Czechoslovakia
"Arbeiter Zeitung." declaring that
it was necessary to reorganize the
Social Democratic Party of Austria
because the former members by the
thousands are fiocking into the
Communist Party of Austria.

ing. The Storm Troops in many
cities outside of Berlin insist on
wearing their uniforms as a sign
of protest against Hitlers orders,
and against the whole bloody but
cherry, as a protest against growing
hunger and terror.
For example, the "Neue zuercher
zeitung," of Zurich, Switzerland,
writes:
1T is generally noted that in the
South of Germany, after the ban
on Storm Troop uniforms during
the months holiday, the Storm
Troop men still wear their brown
uniforms, or part of them. In sew
eral towns, particularly in Karls-
ruhe, arrests have been made by
the police.
THE answer of the Storm Troop
1 men is that they have no other
clothes to wear BY this means
they enter a double protest =
against their miserable lot, being
without food and clothes, and
against Hitler's orders to disband.
Recognizing, now, that he cannot
safely disband the Storm Troopers,
since they are mutinying against
the order to doff their uniforms,
Hitler is forced to change his tao
tics. He now says he will allow the
men to wear their uniforms, but
they will be "reorganized." Only
one-third of the 100000 will be
retained, and these will be dis
armed.
MEANWHILE, wholesale flights OF
M former Nazi supporters are re-
ported from Germany and sur
rounding places. The Budapest
newspaper, "Pester Lloyd" reports
that Storm Troop leaders arrived
in Switzerland by the dozens. For
several days, the ferry from Sass
nitz to Tralleborg, Norway, has
been packed with from two to
three hundred fleeing Nazis at each
trip. In South Maren, Czechoslo-
vakia, a balloon landed with sew
eral former high officials in the
Hitler government, whose names
the police would not divulge. They
carried with them $4,000 marks Of
state funds.
OUR French comrades have not
" only set us a splendid example
on how to achieve the united front
against fascisn, through the fine
examples of anti-fasciSt actions of
Socialists and Communists, finally
forcing the National Council of the
Socialist Party to accept the Com
munist Party united front offer, but
also in the speed with which they
are spreading the Communist Party
organ, ''L'Humanite."
In the five days from June 80 to
July 5, 5000 new subscribers we're
gained. Party sympathizers played
leading role in gaining these new
subscribers.

The strikers marched in a body to
