NYGARD PUT.
OFF BALLOT
FOR CONGRESS.
Former Red Mayor Is
Ruled Out by Arbitrary
State Decision
PROTEST ORGANIZED
Farmer Laborites' Fear
of Communist In
fluence Shown

CROSBY. MINI. Oct. 21.-Fear-
ing the growing influence of the
Communist Party in the present
election campaign, the officials of
the State Fsrmer-Labor admins
tration have Just issued ruling
barring the name of the Com
munist candidate. Emil c. Nygaard,
from the ballot in the Sixth Con-
greSsional District.
Nygaard was the Communist
Mayor of Crosby for one year and
is tremendously popular with the
workers in the Sixth Congressional
District, where he stands an excel
lent chance Of being elected.
The ruling against Nygaard. made
by the Farmer state ma
chinery through the Attorney Cen
eral, was made in direct violation
even Of the election laws Of the
State. since the Communist Party
had fulfilled all of the exacting
legal requirements to place its can
did9tes on the ballot.
All the necessary signatures and
filing fees had been sent to the
proper Offices long before the time
required BY the law. At first the
Farmer Labor officials tried to rule
many of the names off as being
illegal. When this trickerv still
failed to keep the Communists off
the ballot. the Farmer-Laborites
then resorted to the blunt ruling
off decision OF the Attornev-G Cen
eral The pretext given is the in
depreciation of an obscure election
clause.
Incensed at the action of the state
officials in their violation of all
democratic rights. the workers OF
Crosby have sent the following wire
Of protest to the Farmer-Labor
Governor Olson and his Attorney
General:
"Stick to the issues involved.
Petition filed In home county
October 9Th. VIM not rule on
Section 34S, Mason's Statutes, for
the blue ballot. Fifteen hundred
electors vigorously protest this
undemOcratic and uncalled- for
sttenpt to muzzle the voters of
this District"
No answer has as yet been re-
ceived. The Communist Party is
proceeding to organize a mass cam
paign of protest and is taking
emergency measures to get the
workers Of the Sixth District to
write Nygaard's name in on the
ballot.

WAR DANGER
NOW CRAvER
IN BALKANS

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct, Il.
The dangerous developments, 10
which European imperiaEsts are
adding hourly, have piled up the
dynamite in Central Europe to the
point of near explosion. The same
hurried conferences, ultimatums,
cabinet upheavals, and cross-cur-
rents of political intrigue charac-
terize the present situation as led to
the outbreak of the last war.
Identically worded protests, the
last paragraph of which reads as an
ultimatum, were dispatched from
here to Hungary, one forwarded
from the Little the other from the
Balkan Entente. Czeckoslovakia,
Rumania, Turkey and Greece, COM
posing the Balkan Entente, entered
the war arena with the pronounce
ment that they "solemnly declared
their absolute solidarity with Yugo-
slavia." The paragraph which con-
cludes the protest ends with the
menace and ultimatum that IF
those measures (of preventing as
sassinations) are not taken, and if
they are not applied with the good
faith and loyalty that they require,
the permanent council comprising
the foreign ministers of the two
ententes) considers that the gravest
conflicts will arise"
Meanwhile here in Yugoslavia q
concentration of the fascist dicta-
torship has followed the forced
resignation of the Yugoslav Cabinet,
order by the Regent Paul. A gov
eminent of national indignation, .
headed by Foreign Minister jew
itch, will probably be formed. A

order for the immediate expulsion

GREEN LETTER
is DENOUNCED
LABOR BODY

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21.-The letter
of William Green, president of the
A. F. of L., calling for the expulsion
of Communists from A. F. of L.
unions was denounced before the
st. Louis Central Labor Council
meeting by delegate of the
Moulders' Union.
Thousands are in favor of new
society and should not be hampered
in an attempt to get it," he de-
clared. Instead of fighting Com
munists. the trade union movement
had better start action against the
open shoppers.
A motion that the communica-
ton be received and contents noted
was passed.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Chicago To-
cal 637 of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers, in a letter to William Green,
expressed opposition to his order
for expulsion of Communists. Sc
verely criticizing Green's statement
regarding the San Francisco Cen
eral Strike, the local said that ex-
pelling Communists and militant
workers from the ranks of organized
labor will weaken it and play into
the hands of the employers.

1000 MARCH
FOR STRIKE
IN PATERSON
Meeting at Pc erl e S S
Oval Shows Workers
Ready to Strike
BLOW AT GORMAN
Employers Deny Union
Recognition; d eclare
They Will Use Scabs

PATERSON, Oct. 21.-A parade
of 1000 silk dyers in this region,
starting at the union headquarters
and ending at the Peerless Oval,
gave a clear indication that there
will be 100 per cent walkout on
Thursday morning. Twenty five
thousand dyers, of whom about IS
per cent are reported in the union,
will be affected by the strike deci-
sion.
On the other hand the employers
fatty refuse to accede to the de-
nand for q union shop, and declare
that plans are being made to pro-
tect plants operated with scabs.
This leaves very little possibility
that the strike may be averted by
last minute maneuver, as the
workers at the Peerless Oval de-
cided that unless union shop is
granted by Thursday the strike is
on. This will mark the frs major
blow agains Germans six-monhs
no srike" agreement.
At the Peerless Oval all speakers
called upon the workers for a 100
per cent strike for the union shop.
One of the outstanding speeches was
that of Anthony Ventura, a shop
chairman, who was fired from his
job for union activity. He urged
the workers not only to strike for
the union shop but for the other
demands for the 30-hour week for
81 an hour and no discrimination,
Sing InternationaIe
One of the shops, in holding a
strike preparation meeting, con-
cluded by singing the "Interna-
tional" in Italian. These workers
distributed pieces of red cloth,
which they hung from their pockets
during the parade. Strike enthus-
iasn is running high, and last min
ute efforts on the part of Haskell,
representative of the Overs Code
Authority, to postpone the strike
will undoubtedly prove futile.
The demands of the dyers are:
~ A closed shop; employers to
agree to hire only union men.
~ Thirty hour week, S days.
81 Minimum pay for male
workers, 81; for female workers
49, cents per hour.
a. No discrimination In distri-
button of work.
80 No discharge without cause;
the right to appeal within four
days.
(6) Trial period for new work
ers shall be two days.
(7) No plant to operate more
than two shifts of 6 hours each.
49, No employer shall accept
work from any non union con-
Germ or such as with which the
union is having trouble.

every feet or fraction thereof

be an additional man.

MADRID, Oct. 21.-While In
Madrid, Oviedo, Giion, Barcelona
and Alicante, the fascist Lerroux-

ecution of scores of Socialists and
Communists, the government an
nounced today 1t has defeated the
40 900 miners in the mountains of
Asturias who had continued to bat

of government forces raining fire
and bloodshed from the air.
The grateful landlords and capt.
talists of Spain are raising q huge

credited with leading the fascist
forces to put down the workers up

contributing to the gratitude fund

General Batet, who commanded
the troops in Barcelona, was given
handsome cash present for his
counter Revolutionary activities.

In Asturias, workers are executed

more than 1000 in the fighting and

death sentences have already been
melted out to workers, including So

stantly being raided by Civil Guards.
Resentment Mounts
Because the executions are arous-
ing growing resentment among the
workers and peasants, and because
the government fears new flare
up of the armed struggles because
tens of thousands of workers still
retain their arms, President Niceto
Alcala Zamora is proposing that the
death penalties be confirmed by the
Supreme Court.
