HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.-
Three hundred representatives of
the unemployed workers of Penn

State Legislature and took over a
joint session of both houses to pre-
sent the demands Of the unemploy-
ment Councils and united front or
ganizations for increased relief and
the enactment of unemployment
insurance. After six speakers had
addressed the session for an hour
and half the mass delegation pro-
ceeded to the office of Governor
Pinchot and presented the same
five-point program for increased
relief.
Legislators hear Phil Frankfeld
denounce the delay of state author
tiles in providing relief, the starya-
ton orders issued to unemployed,
and warn them that the workers
would increase the fight for ade-
quate relief.
Woods, Careathers, Wells, Hallas,
and Paul also spoke, dealing with
the struggle against evictions, Negro
discrimination, and police terror
against the workers.

WOrkerS'EnenlieS
Exposed

For taking an outright anti-Com-
munist, tty-bourgeois nationalist
stand, Cecil S. Hope, an active Ne
gro member of New York for the
last five years, has been expelled
from the Communist Party.
At this time, when the ruling
class terror and the rising resistance
of the Negro masses is rapidly
dividing the Negro people las in
deed, the whole world into two
camps: on one hand the vast mass
of Negroes rallying to a relentless
fight against their oppressors and
for full equality and national liber-
alton; while, on the other hand,
certain vacillating, petty bourgeois
nationalist elements inevitably be-
come active, conscious agents of the
oppressors against the struggles of
the Negro toilers-Cecil Hope has,
like George Padmore, chosen the
path Of compromise and betrayal.
Like Padmore, he joins the i'm
perialist camp in attacking the pro-
gram of the Communist Party,
which is unifying white and black
toilers in joint struggle against their
common oppressors. Like Psdmore,
he peddles the unfounded SANDER
that the Communist International
has liquidated its, work among the
colonial Negro peoples, has aban-
doned the fight for the liberation
of the colonial masses. Both Pad
more and Hope attempt to cover up
the fact that this work is being
carried on more energetically than
ever, despite Padmore's base treach-
cry.
Precisely in this period, when the
correctness of the Communist pro-
gram on the Negro question is being
demonstrated in numerous joint
struggles of Negro and white work
ers in the North and in the South.
Hope, in his letter of resignation, !"
attacks the general Party policy on
the Negro question as being fraught
with calamitous consequences for
the Negro people and for the entire
working class" The political con-
tent of this argument is not new.
1t is the familiar reformist philos-
ophy that, since resistance on the
part of the oppressed invites new
reprisals from the oppressors, there
should be no resistance, but slavish
acceptance of oppression, persecu-
ton and terror.
Hope writes that he cannot re-
main in the Party Sin cowardly re-
bellion against it's line,' but what
kind of rebellion" was his hasty,
unauthorized return from the West
Indies, some time ago, without car
rying out any activities in the one
island which he reached, and with
out making any attempt to reach
the destination which was assigned
to him. He capitulated to the diff
f1culties placed in the path of all
revolutionary workers by the impe-
rialist rulers of the islands. For this
he was sharply and correctly criti-
cized.
1t is clear now that it was no
accident that some letters of Pad
more were received through Hope,
but that Hope has acted as the
liason agent of Padmore in New
York and is completely and abjectly
aligned with that renegade and
traitor.

Court Issues
Order Against
Strikers
" Orkers Plan Fight
Against Open Shop
Campaign

JERSEY CITY, N. j., Sept. 13.-
A drastic injunction against pickets
was issued yesterday by Vice Chan
cellor Charles NJ. Egan of the
Chancery Court here, against Local
% Of the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union, restraining the
union or any of its representatives
from not only conducting any and
all strike activities, but even from
communicating to anybody in any
way that there is a strike of the
company's employees" in the strike
conducted by the union against the
Restful Slipper Company, Inc.
The company, which is operating
a plant at 80 York St., in Brooklyn,
N. Y, had an agreement with the
union which expired on Sept. l.
When the agreement was about to
expire, the union asked for a con-
ference to negotiate for renewal Of
contract. The reply of the firm was
that they would have nothing to do
with tn eunion, and locked out the
workers. Thereupon the union de-
clared a strike and picketed both
the Brooklyn plant and the new
factory of the firm at 81 Wilkinson
Ave, in Jersey City, to which the
firm. in the meantime, transferred
all its machinery.
The court order is returnable to
the Jersey City Chancery Court on
Monday. Sept. II. A. Isserman, at
torney for the union is preparing to
take legal action to vacate these
restraining orders.
7. Rosenberg, secretary of Local
% of the U. S. L. w. u, said the
union is very much alert to the
open shop menace of New Jersey
and is preparing an organization
campaign to fight against the
5trikebreaking actions Of the Jersey
courts and for the safeguarding of
the conditions of the shoe and slip
per workers, whether they are en-
ployed in New York or New Jersey.

the mass meeting was taking place
today massed to the defense Of
Daily Worker agents whose papers
had been confiscated by detectives,
and forced the plainclothesmen to
return the Daily Workers to the
agents. When the detectives sought
to repeat their usual acts in TAX
ing the papers away from the work.
erS, the hosiery workers rallied
menacingly around them and forced
them to give back the papers. Many
Daily Workers were sold.
The hosiery workers bitterly con.
demned U. T. w. leaders who, while
asking them to help picket the
struck Aberfoyle Yarn Mills in
Chester, refuse to call them out on
strike. The hosiery workers are
using yarn manufactured at the
scab Aberfoyle mills and demand
that their leaders declare 1'alk-
out against those hosiery mills that
use the Scab yarn.

uty sheriffs are patrolling the
streets in the vicinity of the mills
and are searching everybody who
enters the area, they have been I'M

At the local union Headquarters
Nocal 212D was told that strik-
ers were denied relief at the Fed
eral Relief Agency. A delegation
OF strikers went today to Major Bull
Wrinkle, local Democratic Congress
man who was the chief prosecutor
at the 1929 Gastonia strike. Bull
Wrinkle told the workers to go back
to work in the Loray Mill and
added that there would be no Gov
eminent relief Forthcoming.
Following the interview with the
Congressman, the local strike head
quarters began the work of setting
up a relief organization. Relief is
already coming in from workers
organizations and local merchants
who are sympathetic with the strike.
Eighty Per Cent Organized
Local Union President j. R. Nc
Gee declared today that 80 per cent
of the Gastonia textile workers are
organized in the U. T. w. The mills
in Bessemer City and Shelby are
still completely shut down by the
strike. These towns are 100 per
cent unionized, as are Gaffney and
BlackSburg, South Carolina.
Strikers in Gastonia describe the
deputies sworn in to terrorize the
workers as "the most vicious ele-
ment in the area" Many of them
have long criminal records, a local
union organizer told me today.

Troops Fire Into Pickets
In Saylesville and Central Falls,
the mass picket line was cold blood
edly fired into by $50 National
Guard sharpshooters. I surveyed
the scene last night at close range
less than two hours after the Shoot
ing. The shooting was cold-blood-
edly prepared in advance. One
hundred and fifty sharpshooters
were ranged behind a long barbcd
wire barricade that was erected
during the day by the guards, who
dug up the streets and blocked off
all traffic on Lonsdale Ave. This
barricade extended along a high
fence at one border Of the cemetery
running at high angles to Lonsdale
Ave.
The guardsmen stood protected
by the fence and barbed wire, with
their rifles pointing over at the
strikers. The picketS came as far
as the National Guard deadline al
lowed. The National Guard had
earlier declared they would allow
pickets right up to the barricade.
But the troopers fired directly
into the crowd which was in the
cemetery. At the first volley,
William BlackwoOd, a lo0mfixer
and striker, fell, shot through the
head. Part of his brains came
out in his hat, according to report.
He was reported dead last night.
Also at the first volIey Charles
Gorcey fell, fatally shot through
the abdomen. He is dying. Fer
nand La Breche, a 17-year old
boy, was shot near the heart and
is also dying.
This first firing came while the
pickets were picking up wounded
who fell in gas bomb attack. The
National Guard had fired vomit
gas at the strikers, trying to dis
perse the mass pickets. Two pickets
fell. The rest, who had retreated,
went forward in the Graveyard to
pick UP their wounded. At this
moment while the strikers were
bearing away their comrades the
guerdsmen opened their fatal
volley.
Guardsmen Fire Again
After the first volley of gunfire
which was SO deadly, the strikers
charged forward and advanced on
the guardsmen, facing their sraok-
ing guns in order to defend them
selves. Then the guardsmen fired
again. hitting Nicholas Gravello in
the shoulder and wounding num-
Der Of others.
When I arrived on the scene, in
spite Of the guards murderous at
tack. the strikers were still there
by the hundred, pushed further
back by the Central Falls police
and the guardsmen down Lonsdale
Ave. to Dexter st. away from the
mill.
Federal Troops Ready
A reign of fascist terror against
the strikers is now being prepared,
led by Governor Green. Green has
modified American Legionaires,
and war veterans to the number
Of a thousand, creating an armed
band to terrorize the strikers.
The federal troops and gunboats
at Newport stand ready. And what
are the real issues. The real issues
are that in Saylesville the strikers
were determined to close down the
Sayles finishing mill through mass
picketing. Although yesterday only
a handful were trying to work in
the mill, the National Guards and
the police were using all their MUIR
derous terror in an attempt to keep

In MarshalPs Washington we find
this: "At no period of the war had
the American army been reduced to q
situation Of greater peril than during
the winter at Valley Forge. More than
once they were absolutely without
food" What hardships were under
gone can be deduced from the fact
that only 5000 out of the 1900 who
encamped there In December for that
winter were fit for active duty. Cloth
ing, no less than food, was scarce.
Men wore each others uniforms in or
der that the naked could be clad and
take their turn at active duties.
One account tells Of Washington.
one cold morning, meeting his sentinel
as the commander left headquarters,
the Potts house. The sentinel was
making vigorous movements with his
hands and legs In order to keep warm.
Noting this, Washington asked him If
he had mad his breakfast. Upon re-
ceivlng negative reply, Washington
hurried the sentinel inside the house,
and while he was being served a break

GEORGE WASHINGTON
WAS A DOCTOR

MOT well known, but authentic,
~ is the fact that George Wash
ington was really a physician. His
knowledge Of medicine prepared
him to treat the illnesses Of slaves
on his own plantation. During his
final illness, before other doctors
were called In, he directed his own
treatment, says a writer in Hygeia,
the Health Magazine. As was Gus
tomary at the time, he ordered him
self bled. Shortly before he died,
his breathing became easier and he
withdrew his hand from friends
and felt his own pulse. Washing
ton thus evidently realized that the
end had come and gave up hope;
for Immediately a great change
came over his countenance and his
hand fell lifeless to his side.

Inaugural Ride Precedent
Originated by Washinqto,

TT WAS George Washington himself
who set the courteous precedent
whereby the retiring President rides
with the incoming one to his inaugu-
ration, says a writer in the Saturday
Evening Post.
Since 1907 this precedent has been
broken only by the Adamses, both
great, but cantankerous.
"The President Of the United States
comes in through the iron gates and
goes out by the weeping willows" said
Dolly Madison.
Since the fair Dolly's time, the side
entrance by the willow trees has been
closed But only the route Is altered.
The sentiment remains.
