The River Rouge project, in
meetings held during the noon

a mass delegation to the confer

mass march on Ballinger's office
Six workers were fired and taken
off the River Rouge job by the
police for carrying on agitation
against the pay cut. Delegations
are being elected on the other prof.

are being shifted to the Belle Isle
job in an attempt to divide the
ranks of the workers.
Local 81 of the A. F. of L. Paint

divide the workers ranks by raising
the usual red scare. This was met

as spokesman for the drivers and
inside helpers. Olson and other
FLIP. leaders are doing all in their
power to avoid a strike, recognizing
the fact that such a strike would
be of the most broad and militant
character, where the FLIP. would
have to drop its demagogy of
friendship to the workers and use
the armed forces at their command
to crush the strike. The A. F. of
L. trade union committee for relief
and insurance, made up Of repre-
sentatives from 10 A. F. of L. unions
in Minneapolis, today issued a
statement to the drivers, promising
full support and mobilization of the
local unions for sympathy strike
picket duty and financial help. The
committee also proposed a militant
program for the conduct of the
strike, under the full control of the
rank and file membership. If the
general strike in Minneapolis, as
means of forcing full union recog-
milton and higher pay for the work
ers will not take place, it will be
due only to the treacherous moves
of the FLIP. controlled leadership
of the Central Labor Union and
the Trotskyite-controlled leadership
Of Local STA.

Foreign Writers Increased
The foreign correspondents are
angered over the vicious attack by
Goebbels declaring that the So
called inconsistencies in their cabled
dispatches arise from the fact that
they received conflicting reports
from Nazi officials themselves. One
veteran correspondent stated that
when he tried to check up some
facts in connection with the slaugh-
tiers he was told by one Of Hitler's
assistants "to mind your own bust

In an effort to popularize the
Reichswehr German army, Gen.
eral Won Blomberg has issued an
order telling the soldiers to frater-

wehr is to replace the Storm Troops
as the armed force of the Fascist

Whalen with Suit
For MslcandIing Trust Fund

Rod in which Whalen, Joseph Y
Mckee, former acting mayor, and
John Z 3rien, former chief in
spector, were members Of the eX-
ecutive committee of tn board OF
custodians. Whalen's purchase Of
almost half-million dollars worth
of mortgage certificates issued by
the New York Title & Mortgage Co.
seemed to be the result of CONVEX
sationS between Morgan, J. O'Brien,

O'Brien was a director of the mort

Citing as especially unwarranted
the sale Of $1,O00,O00 worth of Lib

of "so-called guaranteed mortgages
and guaranteed mortgage participa-
ton certificates" and the invest

action against some of the former
