By MORRIS PITMAN

NEW YORK,-More than 10000
workers rocked the Bronx Coliseum
with the roar of their mighty "AYE!"
Thursday night in response to a
resolution which real in part:
We, New York workers, appeal
10 the Socialist Party members, to
all Socialist and American Fed
Grafton Of Labor workers, to all
non-Party workers to forge one
mighty united front of struggle
against fascism and war, for the
support of our Austrian fellow
workers"
They gathered at the call Of the
Communist Party to hear report Oh
the great events in Austria, and to
express their deep, fighting solidarity
with their heroic Austrian brothers.
The first money raised in New
York for the use of the Austrian
workers was 1929, contributed that
night. OF this sum, S175 was con-
tributed before the meeting, the
balance was the proceeds of the
meeting and collection.
Enthusiasm Unbounded
When Clarence Hathaway, editor
Of the Daily Worker, reported thar
the radio had just carried the news
that $4,000 Austrian Socialist work
ers ahd rallied outside Vienna cat
Vienna NeuStadO and were marching
on the town, the enthusiasm of the
masSed workers knew no more
bounds.
Every man and woman Of the 10000
that packed the hall was on his
feet, cheering in frenzy of en-
thusiasm.
In breathless silence, interrupted
at moments by thunderouS applause,
the workers listened to James w.
Ford, Clarence Hathaway, Earl
Browder, general secretary of the
Communist Party of the US, and
to Robert Minor, leader of Wednes-
days demonstration at the Austrian
consulate.
Divisions Overcome in Struggle
THE Social Democratic and
Communist workers have welded
their unity ON the barricades of
Austria" Hathaway declared. "AlI
the efforts of the Social Democratic
leaders and the Austrian bour-
gecisie to keep the working class
divided are being overcome in the
moment of struggle.

The Socialist officials would not al

Hundreds of workers, however, got
inside the hall with leaflets and lit
erature concealed in their clothes.
Thousands Of leaflets calling for unity
Of Socialist and Communist workers
were thrown down from the gallery.
An Irish worker, who threw down
Leaflets, was surrounded by ushers
wearing red bands and pointed out
to the police.
AS the workers we're marching TO
the Garden they were met at S6th st.
and 9th Ave. by a policeman badge
number 1886 who attempted to
smash UP a parade by sending a
heavy truck through the line of
march. The nlarchers pushed the
truck out OF the way, however, and
continued the march.
Thousands Of shoe workers, marine
workers. building trades workers and
members Of the Worktls' EysService-
mems league marched into the Gar
den or filled the streets around the
hall.
Algernon Lee, leader of the Socialist
Party, was chairman of the meeting
and opened II in the name of the
marks he avoided the word unity"
Workers In the gallery, however
began to shout when Lee began to
speak, asking why he was against
unity of the Communist and Socialist
workers.
why did you invite fascist Mat
thew Vol and strikebreaker La
Guardia to speak at this meeting and
refuse a united front with the Com
munists," one worker shouted from
the middle of the hall.

j. SchlosSberg, an official of the
Amalgamated Clothings WORKERS
Union, was jeered and booed by the
majority OF the workers when he be-
gan to speak. He was only supported
by few hundred in the hall, who ap-
plauded him feehly when he finished
speaking.
AS Communist workers entered the
hall with the cry United Front, they
were answered by enthusiastic
shouts Of answer from all parts OF
the hall.
The Red Front Band a group Of
Communist workers, were not per-
nitted to enter the hall.
Amongst IT, delegations of strik-
ing workers -, marched to Madi-
son Square Garden yesterday after
noon was a large group of butchers
clerks, FISH workers and dairy and
grocery clerks. These workers
marched under the banners Of the
Food Workers Industrial Union.
Speakers Make Dissension

Algernon Lee, adopted tone Of
extreme proyocation, warning tn:

rupters," deliberately ignoring the fact
Elat every worker in the hall ha

The tone Of the succeeding speakers
was similar to Lees. 1t was this
hostile, provocative tone of the speak

ated by the socialist Officials invita-

strikebreaker, Matthew VOL, thai
resulted in disturbances Throughout
the hall which the socialist and troHe
union officials could not control OIL

wealthy Barbara Hutton for his
bride, but it remained for wit

today whether he was just another

The information was to be re-

Aitkian told the jurors that $40,-
900 was entirely too much, but he
was not called upon to give an

Lou Tellegen, Actor,
Stabs Self to Death

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 80 GN.S0.
The body of Lou Tellegen, one
time matinee idol and former
husband of Geraldine Farrar, lay
in Hollywood mortuary today,
stilled by the actors own hand
during a fit of dependency.
Ill. penniiess and respondent,
Mr.. Tellegen late yesterday stood
before a mirror in bathroom at
the Hollywood home of Mrs. j. P.
Cudahy, where he had been liv'
ing, and slowly but deliberately
drove three-inch blades Of a pair
of scissors seven times into his
breast.
He died as a doctor bent over
him to give aid.
The oft-narried actor, whose
real life romances rivaled his roles
as a great lover on the stage and
screen. came here year ago from
New York and met Mrs. Cudahy
who. in recent years, has be-
friended several victims of misfor.

Jockey. among them.
Suffered from Cancer
Suffering from a cancer, Mr..
Tellegen bravely underwent three
major opera tions in recent
months.
After coming to the Cudahy
home to live, Mr.. Tellegen often
remarked that he believed his ILL.,
ness was affecting his mind.
Mr.. Tellegen was found lying
on the bathroom floor. clad in a
silk bath robe and half shaven.
The find was made by William
Wynn, Mrs. Cudahy's butler.
DR.. C. L. Cooper, the actors per-
sonal physician, was summoned.
DR.. Cooper said he and the po-
lice surgeon. who examined Mr..
Tellegen, found seven stab wounds
in the actors left breast. only one
of which reached the heart; While
it would not be impossible, he
said. for a man to stab himself
seven times, especially if the first
wounds were superficial, it was
cert Ainly out of the ordinary"

PALE AND WORN,

Crucial Hour Arrives

NEW YORK, Oct. 80 GN.s).
It was only a matter of minutes
today before Gloria Morgan Van.
derbilt, the beautiful and the
damned, came face to face with
her tragic hour.
Crucified by mother. Si5ter-in-
law and servants, branded a wan
ton, an inebriate and worse, she
waited today to strike bacE--to
defend, to beg, to demand the
right to be mother to the child
of her marriage.
Pale and Drawn
For the first few hours of the
hearing behind the closed doors
of supreme court, she rested at
home in preparation for the or
deal. Unwell for the last 10 days
or so, with the hearing in it's fifth
week, she waited until her counsel
was ready to put her on the
stand.
When she did arrive, just be-
fore the luncheon recess, she came
with her trained nurse. She
walked slowly, leaning heavily on
her companions arm. Her face
was pale and drawn. She told
reporters:
II feel very we'll, thank you"
She had the appearance of a
woman whose courage was greater
than her strength.
For her appearance as a wit
ness she wore a black Woolen suit
trimmed with silver fox that fell
luxuriouSly over her shoulders.
Prince On the Stand
Meanwhile, Prince Gottfried zu
Hohenlohe und Langenburg, once
her fiance, testified under cross
examination by Herbert C. Smyth,
counsel for Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, paternal aunt who is
fighting to take 10-year-old Gloria
Vanderbilt from her mother.

of the closed doors, the prince

Mrs. Roosevelt said that during
her campaign trip last week she
had found little difficulty in for
getting for the time her position
as the Presidents wife. It was
little different from her many
other campaign trips, with the ex-
ception that the audiences last
week were non-partisan. Hereto
fore, she has addressed groups
largely Democratic.
Mrs. Roosevelt said:
"YOu talk to people who
think just as you do. Very
stupid, but it seems to be the
method in ordinary State cam
paignS."

Mrs. Roosevelt will vote at
Hyde Park with the President and
his mother, Mrs. James Roose,

voting by mail or, as in the case
of James. in other States.
Anna Dali. she said, has voted.
Asked regarding the possibility
that Anna's vote will be ques-
toned. because of her residence
in Nevada, she said the matter
had not been discussed at the
White House. According to Mrs.
Schneider, however, Mrs. Dali has
re-registered since her return from
