Workers dubbed in the
Home of Investigator
of 'Un-Americanism'

NEW YORK-Using the same
Nllture tactics of the fascist hordes
Of Nazi Germany, which he is "in-
vestigating," Representative Dick
stein Of the Congressional Commit
tee to Investigate un-American Ac-
Invites, secreted police and thugs
inside his home Saturday to assault
a delegation of workers.
The workers delegation of five,
which entered Dickstein's home
Saturday night to protest his at
tacks upon militant working class
organizations under the cloak Of in
vestigating fascist activities and to
demand that he endorse the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill,
was elected at mass meeting held
by the Downtown Unemployment
Councils.
AS the committee entered the
house, totally unaware of the police
lurking in the Railways, Captain
Murray Of the Seventh Precinct
gave the order to attack Blackjacks
and clubs were swung at the work
ers. Tony Marsh, a member of the
workers delegation, was hurled to
the stone steps. AS he lay PROSTATE
and bleeding from a scalp wound.
police refused him medical aid and
jeered at the workers pleas that an
ambulance be- called.
Other workers carried their COM
rade to the Henry Street Settle
ment, where a doctor summoned by
members of the Settlement House
closed his wound with twelve
stitches. He was later rushed to a
hospital by members of the Settle
ment House, who are also Offering
to pay all disqualification costs.
Throughout the day unemployed
workers had picketed Representative
Dicksteins home at BOG East Broad
way. Police on several occasions at
tempted to halt the pickets In the
evening, despite the bitterly cold
weather, $50 workers assembled at
Rutgers Square and marched to
Dickstein's home, where they were
greeted by 500 other assembled
workers.
The mass meeting elected the
committee, which was later attacked
as they entered the house.
After the attack, workers at the
mass meeting withstood the police
onslaught and refused to be intimi-
dated or provoked. Indignant over
the assault on their members, the
assembled workers dispatched four
kilograms OF protest, one each to

Man-Power Behind the
Machines Is Discussed
by Soviet Leader

MOSCOW, Dec. 30 (By Wireless) d.
Emphasizing that technique is no
mere "piling up of machinery" but
development Of the technical
knowledge and skill of the man
power behind the machines, Joseph
Stain, General Secretary Of the
Communist Party of the Soviet
Union, yesterday sounded the slogan
of rearing "a numerous army of
technically and industrially trained
forces" to a large delegation from
the metal plants of the Soviet
Union.
Visiting Joseph Stain, v. M.
Molotov and G. K. Orjonikidze in
connection with the successful full
f1llment of the production program
for the second year of the second
Five-Year Plan, the delegation,
through the Academician Bardin,
technical director of the Kuznetsk
plant, reviewed the great political
victory attained by ferrous metal
lurgy.
Stain Speaks on Tasks
In answering Bardin, Stain dwelt
on the further tasks Of develop
ment of Soviet ferrous metallurgy
and on the most important prob
lens in Socialist construction.
I'VE had said Stain, too small
number of technically educated
persons. We we're faced with the
dilemma of either starting the
training of a people in schools of
technical knowledge and postponing
production and the large scale ex-
ploitation of machines for ten years,
until the technically educated
cadres were sufficiently prepared,
or starting Immediately to create
machines and developing their
large-scale exploitation and train
persons in technique in the process
of production itself. We chose the
second course and we decided open
ly and consciously upon the in
evitable expenditure connected with
country lacking technically
trained people able to handle ma
chimes, 1t is true, during this time
no small number of machines were
broken in our country. but we gain
ed a most precious thing-the most
valuable in our entire economy
cadres.
Educated Technicians
I'm the course of three or four
years we created cadres Of techni-
cally educated persons, both in the
sphere of the manufacture of all
sorts of machines TRACTORS, automo-
biles, tanks. airplanes, etc., and in
Jne field of actually running them.
What Europe has done in the
course of scores OF years, we have
been able to accomplish roughly
and in the main during three or
four years. The expenditures for
the breakage of machines and for
other damages were more than COM
pensated for. Therein lies the foun-
dalton of the speedy industrializa
ton of our country.
But we would not have had these
achievements if ferrous metallurgy
had not been developed and had
not thrived in our country. We
nave the full right to speak regard
ing the great successes of ferrous
metallurgy as constituting basic
force in our national economy.
I'VE have conquered-this is true
However, we must not be naughty
in connection with these successes.
The most dangerous thing is to be-
come comfortable in our successes
and forget our shortcomings, to for
get our further tasks"
Stain pointed out certain short

Defends Stool Pigeons
and Police Relatives
on Coast Jury
BY JACK CRANE
Especial to ths Daily Worker)

SACRAMENTO. Calf, Dec. 30
The jury was finally selected for the
trial of 10 workers charged with
violating the California Criminal
Syndicalism Law, and the effort to
railroad them to long terms in Jail
is expected to begin in earnest this
coming week.
Before the jurors we're sworn in,
the court was informed by Leo
Gallagher, International Labor De-
Tense attorney, that the defendants
we're not satisfied with the jury and
were of the opinion that they could
not get fair trial. Gallagher again
charged the prosecution with plant
ing Mrs. Rose and other friends and
close relatives of members of the
District Attorneys staff on the jury.
He again voiced objections to the
methods practiced by the jury COM
missioner of drawing jury panels
from the habitues of pool rooms
and booze parlors.
Admits Planting Stool Pigeons
District Attorney McAllister tacit-
ly admitted Gallagher's charge that
the prosecution had placed stool
pigeons among the defendants to
help in their frame-up, not denying
Gallaghers charge, but making the
cynical reply, mot as many as you
have"
Gallagher placed McAllister on the
stand and questioned him on the
planting of stools on the jury and
in the cells of the defendants to
report back to McAllister the dis
cussions by the defendants on the
merits Of the jurors.
During the time the defendants
were defending themselves, didn't
you have stool pigeons placed in
their cellS?" Gallagher demanded.
The prosecution objected to the
question and was sustained by Judge
Dial M. Lennon, while McAllister
shouted from the witness stand 81

VI lily anu W oil
swer your question"
MistriaI Refused
Thereupon Gallagher asked that
the court declare mistrial His
request was Immediately denied by
Judge Lennon who, in his hostility
to the defendants, has even taken
liberties with the Declaration of In
dependence, altering a quotation
from that historic document in
which the right of the people to
overthrow the government is up
held.
Returning to his questioning of
McAllister, Gallagher asked. Since
you say you are conducting the case
to the best Of your ability, why are
you afraid to answer my question:"
McAllister ignored the challenge.
Gallagher then offered the court
to produce proof that dope addict
known as Cunny Niles was placed
in the cells of the male defendants.
that he listened in on their discus
sion Of prospective jurors, and that
whenever the defendants expressed
the opinion that certain prospective
jurors might be impartial these
prospective jurors were excused the
next day by the prosecution.
Nora Conklin, one of the defend
ants, testified that Marie Flores, a
stool pigeon, was placed in the cells
of the women defendants, and car
ried information on all discussions

ORDERS HUGE
NAVAL FORCE
into PACIFIC
Most Powerful Show of
Power in History TO
Be Made in Spring

WASHINTON, Dec. 30.-Coineid-
ing with the japanese denunciation
of the Washington treaty yesterday,
q long prepared move of colossal
naval and aviation maneuvers was
thrust to high speed today by the
Roosevelt administration, move
scheduled as the grimmest and
most tremendous demonstration of
naval power ever staged in the his
tory of the globe.
The Roosevelt government will
hurl its battle fleet of lit warships
and $50 war planes into the north
ern and western Pacific as huge
war threat at the very doors OF
Japanese imperialism,
AS evidence of the leading role in
war preparations which the United
States government is assuming, a
role in which the Roosevelt war
government is so far outstripping
the belligerent efforts of all other
imperialist powers, the vast war
games to be cast in the theater of
the Pacific Ocean as a threat to
Japan we're announced prior even
to Japanese denunciation of the
pact.
On May 3, according to Admiral
Joseph M. Recess, commander lin
chief of the United States fleet, the
full complement of American sur
face ships, airplanes and submar-
ines comprising the fleet, will sail
from the mainland to operate in a
field of 100000 square miles. 1t
will be bounded on the north by
the Aleutian Islands Q,500 miles
from japanese territory, on the
south by the Tropic of Cancer, on
the east by the mainland of the
United States, and on the west by
Midway Island, 1900 miles west of
Honolulu.
Included in the force will be TIT
surface ships, 447 airplanes of the
High Seas Area force, the dirigible
Macon, and approximately $4,000
officers and men. Four airplane-
carriers, nine light cruisers, 56 de-
stroyers, nine mine layers, thirty
two submarines and thirty-nine
auxiliary ships will be part of the
war complement.
The armada will steam westward,
making record cruises toward Japan,
with the main force heading for
Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, where one
of the most expensive and biggest
war bases in the world has been
built by American Imperialism. A
northern wing will move toward the
Aleutian Islands, off Alaska, which
possesses numerous submarine bases
and more than fifty airplane sta
tons. Separating at Pearl Harbor,
another powerful unit of the fleet
will continue westward to Midway
Island, a strategic military spot
highly important for re-fueling and
arming of battleships and sub
marines.
In retaliation against such gigan-
tic preparations for the approach
ing conflict, Japanese military
clioues, representing the small
group of Japanese imperialists, have
forced through the japanese par
lament one of the greatest war
budgets in the world, only exceeded
by incredible war-programs of the
Roosevelt government. Both war
budgets have been squeezed from
the working populations of both
countries, and at the expense of the
most necessary requirements of the
ruined and oppressed masses. IN
employment insurance, farm relief,
education, hospital appropriations,
relief needs, all have either been
completely wiped out in the inter-
ests of imperialist struggle or have
suffered heavily.
