locals Of the Amalgamated in New
York It is true that for a long
time the leadership of the Anal
gamated did everything to prevent
the unity between their membership
and our membership in the recent
hotel strike. The Trotzkyites, Love
stonites, and Gitlowites did not
hesitate to take the lead in the fight
against unity between our union
and the rest of the unions, and
for going into the A. F. of L. In
the Hotel and Restaurant strike this
combination of misleaders who were
in the leadership fought tooth and
nail against the rank and file, who
we're ready to unite with us in the
fight against the bosses.
The results of this are evident.
The bosses were the only ones who
benefited from this lack of unity in
the ranks Of the food workers.
Work Not In Vain
However. our work for unity was
not in vain. Our sincerity was
proved in every strike action. The
rank and file realize more and more
that the only way out is to unite
in one powerful union and concen-
trate their efforts not against each
other, but against the bosses, the
N. r. A., and the Regional Labor
Boards for the organization of the
unorganized food workers. AS a
result of all our efforts, when we
issued the last call to the Anal
gamated central body to elect a
committee to discuss immediate
steps to establish one union in the

$4,000 Meet in Madison So. Garden
To Hail Greatest New York Nav Day

May Day has been magnifi-
cent said Charles Krumbein, in
opening the meeting. May Day
has been tremendous. 1t was the
greatest demonstration in history"
The greatest ovation of the eve
ming was given to Anna Schultz,
German Communist leader, who
brought greetings from the illegal
German Communist Party and its
leaders who are in the Nazi prisons,
Comrades Ernst Thaelmann and
Ernst Torgler.
Demand Thaelmann's Release
A roar of assent greeted the read
ing of a cablegram which was sent
by the meeting to the Hitler govern
ment demanding the safe release of
the German Communist leaders
from the fascist dungeons.
Although William z. Foster was
unable to attend the May Day DEM
onstration on account of his long
illness, the spirit of the beloved
leader of the American working
class permeated the meeting. Stormy
applause greeted a telegram from
Foster which stated that he was
recovering from his sickness and ex-
pected to be back on the fighting
front within a few months.
1--WE can say" said Jack Stachel,
in the keynote speech, that the
workers who were demonstrating
under the leadership Of the Socialist
leaders did so understanding that
they we're demonstrating against
fascism, imperialist war and capt.
talism. But when these workers
learn that their leaders are not
against capitalism they will be with
us"
At this moment Mother Bloor. 70
year old veteran Communist, arrived.
She was welcomed with a prolonged
ovation.
"The Socialist Party leaders are
afraid to let Socialist worker get
together with Communist work
err" said Stachel, "for when they
do, you will have two Commu-
nists."
Steve Kingston, a Negro leader
and member of the District Com
mittee of the Communist Party,
said: "The New Deal has turned
out to be a lynch deal for the Ne
gro people.
AssaiIs New Deal
Assailing the New Deal war prep
arations, Sadie Berg, Young Com
munist League Leader, said that the
large number of young workers in
the May Day demonstration was a
challenge to the Roosevelt's N. R. A.
government.
"Our May Day today is step
toward Soviet power of the work.
ers in America" she said.
The crowd stood and applauded
for several minutes when Jane Pat
terson, mother Of Haywood Patter-
son, one Of the nine Scottsboro
boys, came to the microphone to
speak.

bloody attack was personally
directed by Col. Pedraza, second in
command of the army, and aided by
the Yankee Moore. There is little
doubt that Roosevelt's ambassador
to Cuba, Jefferson Caffery, who the
previous day requested the move
ment of troops, had his hand in
the directing of the slaughter.
Give Way Under Fire
The workers ranks gave way only
after the shooting became general
and heavy. Firing from Spring
fields and tear gas guns continued
at the escaping crowds.
Hundreds of workers bravely de-
fled the firing to reach the Crystal
Arena, the meeting place. This
also was dissolved by gunfire.
Meetings continued in the workers
neighborhoods after the massacre.
Headquarters Of the transport
and needle unions were assaulted by
the army. All present were ar
rested. A call has been issued to-
day for protest strikes demanding
punishment of those responsible
against the assassin government,
against the Wall Street military
rule.
The Communist Party has issued
the slogan: Forward to all power
to the workers, peasants, soldiers
and sailors as the only guarantee of
the rights of the masses"
The general strike was complete
in Havana at midnight May Day,
tying up all street cars, railroads
and ports. No news has yet been
received from the interior on May
Day demonstrations
The German ambassador, on May
Day, demanded guarantees.

taken across the border to South
Dakota, where he was beaten un-

Left on a county road by the

the truth. We've got to get more

A telegram to the Governor Of

the meeting. a resolution was
adopted demanding the freedom of
Tom Mooney, J. B. MacNamara,

Revolutionary Songs
Revolutionary songs rendered by
the chorus of the Freiheit Singing

There were songs about the Red
Cavalry and an impressive anti
religious number, which threw the
large crowd into fits Of laughter
"The Scottsboro Boys Shall Not
Die" new revolutionary song,
rendered by the chorus, was sp-
plauded for over five minutes.
Ammunition for the Communist
Party's fight in the form of ten
dollar BIZ was the first response of
a close sympathizer to Ben Colds
stirring speech.
More ammunition piled into the
Party's fighting fund when the same
comrade pledged an additional $40
if ten people would contribute S.
apiece.
When twelve S. bills answered,
the Party's fund bulged to S1,226,
but the end did not come until yes

uted to all food workers of Greater
New York. This statement shall
acquaint the unorganized workers
with the merger and establishment
of One Union. Between $4,000 and
100000 Of said statements shall be
printed. Expenses shall be divided
between both organizations.
1t is true that these decisions
reached by this Joint Committee
are only recommendations to the
respective central bodies. At the
same time it shows that the COM
mittee composed only of rank and
file workers was unanimous on the
point of establishing one union in
the industry. The main task for the
establishment of one union is still
ahead of u.s. The rank and file
workers are the only ones who will
be in a position to eliminate all the
obstacles in the way of unity and
take immediate steps to carry
throu1l the decisions reached by
the JOINT Committee.
It was only after the two locals,
Local 3 and Local 164 had instructed
their delegates, that such COM
n1ittee was elected. One union will
become a reality only through the
vote of the membership which will
finally put aside all who stand in
the way of unity.

rapidly all over the world, probably
reaching Asia over a land bridge at
Behring strait and thence to Europe
and Africa, and South America over
the present land connection when it
was established about twenty million
years ago. At that time there were
already many species-swift-runn
forms with narrow, compressed feet.
These ancestral dogs in successive
ages gave rise to the numerous types
of modern wolves, dogs, foxes, and
fox-like animals.
Among the most curious Of mod
ern dogs are those Of South America,
which resemble true dogs on one
hand, and foxes on the other. Their
lines of descent have been hard to
trace, says Doctor Gregory. but 1t is
now evident that they are really
living fossils"-survlving relics of
the old dogs of the Miocene and
Pliocene ages of western North
America which crossed the land
bridge to the southern continent.
Probably the strangest of these
South American dogs is the bush
dog. distinguished by his short muz-
zle and the loss Of his second upper
and lower molars, his short legs and
other features which give him most
undoglike appearance.

DOGS FIRST IN
NORTH AMERICA
Proof Animal Is Native of
This Continent.
From the Literary Digest.

The dog has frequently been
called mans best friend. At least
since the Azilian phase of the Old
Stone age he has been devoted to
humanity. This famous partnership
was probably cemented in Europe,
but the partners came from widely
divergent regions of the earth. Man
possibly originated in Africa. The
dog Is native American.
The oldest fossil members Of the
dog family are found in the Lower
Oligocene of western North Ameri-
ca; they lived here about thirty
eight million years ago. In that time,
says Prof. William X. Gregory, in
the Bulletin of the New York Zoo
LOGICAL society, the dog family was
already represented by two genera,
Cynodictis, the common ancestor of
all the modern dogs, wolves, foxes,
dholes, etc., as we'll as of the rae
coon family, and Daphoenus, ances-
tor Of the giant dogs and the bears.
Cynodictis was not yet either a
dog, wolf or a fox. It had some
what Of the long-bodied, sinking
habit of the civet. It's feet were less
compressed than in later dogs, the
claws were slightly retractile. Its
predecessors, fossils of which are
found in Wyoming, were still less
dog-like. They were tree-living ami
mails, somewhat like raccoons, with
spreading hands and feet.
Daphoenus had a more massive
skull than Cynodictis, with upper
molars of the crushing type. Bears,
in fact, are only gigantic short-tailed
dogs that have learned to walk on
the whole soles Of their feet and in
which the crushing molars have be-
come greatly increased in size, says
Professor Gregory. In the rocks
laid down in late Tertiary time, be-
fore the onset of the great Ice age,
are found fossil skeletons of crea-
ture, Hyaenarctos, regarded by many
authorities as the connecting link
between dogs and bears.
From North America, dogs spread
