the Italian troops which were massed
at the Austrian border during the
war on the Austrian workers are still
there, ready to pour over the frontier

The governments Of CzechoSloYakia,

clared they would consider the res

Feverish marches, counter-marches.
and negotiations are going on all
around Austria. Prince Ernst Won
Starhemberg, leader of the Helm
wehr, has been in active negotiation
with the German Nazis, while agents
of Mussolini have for some time been
carrying on discussions with the
Hungarian ana Austrian govern
mentS.
Meanwhile, the eight-day truce Of
eered the DollfusS government by
Theodor Habicht, Hitleris inspector
or Austria" expires at noon We'd
nesday. At that time Habicht has
promised to launch his greatest drive
to capture Austria for the Nazis. The
strength Of his authority over the
Austrian Nazis is shown by the fact
that they have kept the truce he
promised from Munich.
At mass meeting Of monarchists
in Vienna last night, Chancellor Doll
fuss, Prince Won Starhemberg, and
the imperial Hapsbu-g family were
cheered. Dollfuss sent a message Of
encouragement TO the meeting.
Eight thousand Heimwehr troops
Daraded in review before Dollfuss in
Vienna last night. A large crowd
came out to watch, but there were
no cheers. The fascist troops with
their bands marched through an i'm
pressive, oninous silence from the
crowds on the streets.

Kelly, the Freshman Approves
Of Daily Workers New Press
VIII Issue Red Press Certificate at Banquet to Be
Held Sunday, March 4th

NEW YORK,-"That's what I call
pretty" This was the adrniring COM
ment yesterday Of I. Kelinson-
Kelly to the press-roonl, where the
Daily Worker is printed, and where
kelly is foreman,
1t was the new printing press he
was speaking of, as through its huge
mechanism giant roll Of paper was
being adjusted under his direction, for
final preparations for the starting Of
the new press.
Kelly made no bones about saying
the new press was 100 per cent bet
ter than the old press, and that buy
ing 1t was undoubtedly "a good thing"
Kelly ought to know. He has been
around newspapers ever since he has
been working. And that has been
since 1908. He has worked with every
type of press. 1t was Kelly, who
lew months ago barely escaped Sc
rious injury when a gear of the old
press stripped and hurled pieces Of
steel in his direction.
There's no danger Of that now"
explained Kelly, and he pointed to
the safeguards that cover all gears on
the new press.
Kelly expanded on the improve
ments Of the new press. Now this
metal band. We can change plates
impressions of the newspaper page)
by taking it on or off, in five minutes.
On the old machine we had to work
with three clips-it took from fifteen
minutes to three quarters Of an hour.
Then this fountain roller. With the
other press, if we changed from a
four page paper to an eight-page pa
per, we always had to change the en-
tire roller which was long, tough
job. Now all we do is turn this little
knob. "And Kelly showed the knob"
Kelly went on to show the appa-
ratuS which can print 16 page tab
loid, and insert it in the regular eight
page paper, which it also prints ST.
simultaneously.
Then for us fellows down here in
the press room, this press is easier TO
work on. We don't have to climb on
top of it if we run a larger paper. 1t
is a cleaner machine with drip pans,
etc, to catch the ink, and we can
work right in between parts Of the
press and with these safeguards stand
no chance of being hurt.
"What'l it mean to the paper?
Well, these rubber rollers will keep
the sheet clean. The old corrugated
rollers used to accumulate dirt. 1t
will be a clean printing job, and
readable one. 1t should have been
done long ago.
Now" said Kelly, viewing the I'M
printed white paper as it wound its

But in 1882, after having few poor

he rose to the managership OF the
much depressed New York Giants in
1902. Then he began his game.
He fired ruthlesssy, spent huge

II he had the drawing attraction for
three times that amount? Cham

inaugurated the expensive idea of

He brought the game out Of the
Bowery into the glittering old Wal
dOrf Astoria.
Nobody bothered him. Attendance
rose. We sat in the bleacherS. Politi-
clans, stock exchange members, sat in
the grandstand. Presidents threw the
ball out at opening games. Hoover
sent him a telegram In 1928 telling
him he is officially recognized as be-

continued to buy and sell baseball
players. The corporation let him have

the police by raising the cry that the
reds" are the cause OF all the
trouble. The seanen, however, know
where the trouble comes fron-from
the shipowners and the police-and
they know that the only political
party supporting and giving leader
ship to the strike is the Communist
Party. The best fighters and leaders
in the Marine Workers Industrial
Union are members of the Commu-
mist Party and the Young Com
munist League.
All the red scare" talk by cops,
ShipoWners and leaders of the A. p.

by the strikers.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. PIN the
forefront of the struggles of the sea-
men in this port is a unit of 10
members of the Young Communist
League, which is concentrating its
work on the steamship lines and is
suing a regular Y.CL. bulletin for
the young seamen.
Eight Of these young Communists
are leaders OF the work OF the Port
Organization Committee of the Mar
inc Workers Industrial Union. Old
Seamen have accepted wholeheart-
eddy the leadership that these young
workers. are giving them in the
struggle against the shipownerS.
Zone thing about this union" said
an old sailor, sis That they have
young guys as delegates and not
old fogies."
The young seamen have expressed
their willingness to fight, as was
seen recently aboard the S. S. Nun
tropic where officers and profess
sional strikebreakers attacked them
with lengths of piping. The officers
got the worst of the fight. The sea-
men, most of them very young, went
ashore with busted heads but tri-
umphant and determined to carry on
the fight to build up a mass revolu-
tionary Marine Workers Industrial
Union.
To educate the young seamen in
the tactics and strategy of the class
struggle the Y.CL. unit is setting up
a school on the waterfront.

AT the same time. at a "unif1cation"

mercy Of the capitalist courts.

THE TIME FOR COOPERATION

There has never been a time
when the farm cooperatives OF
the country were called upon
TO do more important work
than they are doing now, both
from the standpoint Of the
farmer and the consuming pub
lie.
Ii would not be fair to say
that the governments farm re-
lief policy has failed But it
has not produced the benefits
that were expected of it six or
eight months ago. Prices,
wnen relaled to the rise in the
cost OF living, are still low.
Surpluses continue to glut an
already overburdened market.
Matters have reached the point
where there is talk of declaring
agriculture a public utility. un-
der strict governmental domi-
nation which would tell every
farmer exactly what and how
much he could produce every
month in the year, and give
him a permit to do it.
The coJperatives are fighting
hard to maintain the farmers
traditional individualism, and
at the same time bring him
around to policies that are es-
sential to his every economic
and social existence. They are
striving to reduce surpluses, to
stabilize markets, to fight his
battles with interests that OPP
pose cooperative move ent.
They must win out. At this
time, especially, they need the
loyal help of all farmers, and
the public Aggressive action
is essential. The cooperatives
have the machinery ia motion,
and they know how to use it to
the full st advantage.
