Hamburg to do real mass work on
the basis of the United Front
from below. That's the realization
of the united front Of action, for
united front spells fight,-fight
means strike, mass strike. The
lOngshOremen of Hamburg gave
the first example to the German
workers, that the time has come
that they must disassociate them
selves from the old tradition of
allowing the reformists and social
fascist trade union leaders to sup
ply leadership, and that the work
ers themselves, as fighting prole-
tarianS, on the basis of proletarian
democracy, elect collectively to
the strike leadership the most
capable workers out of their own
ranks.
But watch out he said, by to-
Et1renteit (the social fas-
cist) will mobilize his party mem
bers. the police commissioners of
Hamburg, Schoenfelder, and Egger-
stedt of Altoona Elbe, and during
the night the police, armed with
guns, will attack the pick
cts"
At once we discussed all POSSIBLE
tiles of mass mobilization. Special
couriers we're sent to all city dis
tricts. Thaelmann himself, in the
middle of the night went to see the
strike committee at the harbor.
Quick action was necessary to in
form all workers of the imminent
danger, that attempts would be
made to break the strike by armed
force, and to urge the workers to
resist. 1t was for definite reasons
that Thaelmann laid so much stress
On this fact, for it had been prac-
lice for a long time that even the
smallest strikes were most brutally
attacked by the Prussisn police, Led

the way you should work In order
that the united front as = help
for the strike of the harbor work
ers be spread and lead the strike
TO victory"
At o'clock the next morning
hundreds of harbor women workers
stood at the harbor, building a liv-
ing chain against those of the So
cial democratic police protected
strike-breaking cordons. At o'clock
huge demonstrations arrived from
all quarters of the harbor, from
Baumwall, from Millerntor, from
Altstadt, to the gangway quarters
streamed the Hamburg harbor pro-
letarians together with the unem-
rloyed and suddenly working wo-
man shouts:
"See, there marches Thaelmann, y
he is with us. Hurrah for Thael- 4
mann. Hurrah for the strike, u
Hurrah for the United 'FRONT.'"
Women and Workers Fight to Free
Ernst Thaeimann
That the teachings and the fight
of Thaelmann are not forgotten,
even today, under the bloody Hitler
dictatorship, is illustrated by the
fact that in Hamburg the Social
Democratic and non-party workers,
together with Communist workers,
issued a call in which they declared
the following:
"ThaeIrnann is blood of our
blood.
haeimann is not only
worker, but one of the best Lead
ers of the German proletariat."
Join with us proletarians, men
and women alike, to strengthen the
fight against the Hitler dictator
ship and to free our leader, Ernst
Thaelmann, the transport worker,
from the Hitler dungeon in Fascist
Germany Raise high the banner
of Proletarian Internationalismi

: Cabinet Members
For Tariff WeanOn
In Huge Trade War
Ask Monopoly Powers
for Roosevelt in
Tariffs

WASHINGTON, March 9. - A
plea for absolute power to negotiate
tariffs and trade agreements to be
given to Roosevelt was made yes
terday by three of Rooseyelts lead
ing Cabinet members, Wallace, Hull
and Roper, before the House Ways
adm Means Committee.
Secretary of State Hull was par
ticularly emphatic in warning
Roosevelt must be given this power
to bargain with other powers for
trade if American Imperialism is to
beat its imperialist rivals in the
present intense world fight for
trade. Other countries are out
bidding" the United States in the
struggle for trade, he declared.
His statement implies that the
Roosevelt inflationary devaluation
Of the dollar is not having all the
effects anticipated in bringing new
trade to American monopolies. This
portends a renewed drive of the
Roosevelt government for trade
agreements against its imperialist
rivals, Britain and Japan, as we'll
as further inflationary devaluation
Of the dollar.
Wallace commended before the
Committee that the necessity for
more markets Tor Amrican goods
carries with it the necessity for
destroying about 100000 acres of
farm land. especially the small
farmer crops.
The bill to give Roosevelt bar
gaining power with other countries,
without having to place the trade
treaties before Congress, will be
soon passed, it is expected. Amer
lean imperialism needs it in its
fierce struggle to wrest trade from
and Means Committee.

Veteran Bills Face
ROOSeyelt'S Veto If
Passed by House
Congressman, Facin g
Voters, Would Give
Concessions

NEW YORK.-President Roose-
welt continued his fight against the
soldiers bonus and disability pay
ments when administration leaders
attempted unsuccessfully to bind
democratic Congressman by caucus
rule to vote against the veterans
amendments to the Independent
Offices Bill.
These amendments do not re-
store to the disabled veterans the
cuts in allowances taken from
them by the Roosevelt Economy
Bill, amounting to $300,000,000.
But they do grant the disabled ex-
soldiers and government employees
some benefits. The Congressman
all face reelection and they are
afraid to go before the voters with
the record of voting against any
benefits to veterans. The amend
ments do not grant cash payment
of the bonus.
The democrats voted to send the
Independent Offices Bill to confer
ence with the Senate, with provi-
sion for the amendments benefit
ting the veterans. Roosevelt has
announced he will veto any bill
giving the veterans added compen-
sation. The amendments passed
by the democratic caucus favor
payment of rs per cent of previ-
Gus benefits to presumptive dis
ability cases to veterans of the
World and Spanish-American
wars. The bonus bill and the
amendments to the Independent
Offices Bill are to be voted on next
week in the House.
