CNA WILL HELP
|. D. c. BOATMEN

Federal unemployment funds,
allotted under the CWA and other
Government agencies, are being
used in numerous sections Of the
country to develop small boat
basins to help meet the demand
for additional facilities for Amer
ica's ever-growing pleasure boat
fleet.
A marina is planned for Wash
ington in the recently proposed
Washington channel improve
ment. The project calls for the
construction of a yacht basin for
286 pleasure craft just above the
War college grounds.
A new basin is being construct
ed at Charleston, s. c., by CWA
workers and the deepening Of
the south lagoon in Jackson Park,
Chicago, will provide an addi-
tional anchorage there for motor
boats on Lake Michigan. At
Santa Monica, Cal, an extension
of the yacht harbor breakwater
is planned to give additional pro-
lection to pleasure craft.
In addition to projects already
under way, yacht basins are
planned at Houston, Tex, and
San Diego, Cal. The Houston
Yacht Club, at the recent session
of the Texas legislature, obtained
passage Of a bill giving the club
a 50-year lease on submerged land
to be used for the development
of g. marina. Federal funds are
being sought to carry out the
project.
The San Diego planning COM
mission has approved the plans
for a yacht basin at Rosedale.

Beware of Roosevelt's Gift

THE decision of President Roosevelt re-
garding hours in the cotton garment
industry repeats the history of the han
ding of the cotton textile workers under
the N.R.A. codes. Roosevelt, and the en-
ployers in the formulation of the cotton textile
code-the first MIRA. code-made similar "conces
Sons' to the cotton textile workers Thev reduced
hours without reduction in pay But the cotton
textile workers soon found that they had been
handed gold brick.
They discovered that the shortening of hours
was accompanied by speed-up, instead of decrease
IN unemployment. They found that there was an
actual reduction IN real wages because while wages
remained the same, living costs scared under the
NRA The N.R.A. cotton textile code hailed as q
benevolent gift Of Roosevelt to the cotton textile
workers, IN reality was an instrument for building
company unions and discriminating against union
members. The cotton textile workers found that the
minimum wage became the maximum wage The
actual wage of masses of workers was reduced be-
low the minimum by drastic "curtailments reduc-
ton in hours by special permission" of Roosevelt
without increase in pay.
History now repeats itself in the cotton garment
INDUSTRY. To head off strike demanded bv the
cotton garment workers on Oct Is Roosevelt grants
the concession of the 36-hour week instead of the
4o-hour week, with a corresponding per cent in
crease IN hourly and piece work rates
But the decision in the cotton garment industry
taxes no account of the real reduction in WAGES
which has occurred because of mounting cost of
necessities OF life. The hourly reduction given the
cotton garment workers does not answer the main
grievances OF the cotton garment workers-the in
tense speed-up and sweat shop conditions the crv-
ing need for increased wages due to higher living
costs; the demand for recognition of the unions
These demands could have been won bv CARVING
through the strike on schedule But the leaders of
Inc A F. OF l.. garment unions called off the pro-
posed strike and accepted the concession on hours
unoer which the most burning grievances of the
cotton garment workers remain. These A. F. of l.
garment union leaders, such as Sidney Hillman of
the Amalgamated, are part of the MIRA boards
which rendered the decision On them as well as
on Roosevelt must be placed the responsibility for
Surrendering the chief demands of the cotton gar
ment workers by killing the strike and accepting
concession which will quickly be taken from them
The rank and file members of the garment
unions should strengthen their rank and file oppo-
sltlon groups and demand that the burning grev-
anceS OF the garment workers be formulated and
That strike for these demands be prepared The
garment workers can win higher wages elimination
OF the speed-lp and recognition only through pre-
pairing and carrying through strike factions.

Court Proceeds With
Its Work in Manner
of Court Martial

BERLIN, Oct. 12.-The trial" of
Ernst Thaelmann, now impending,
has focused the eyes of the world
on the function, the history and
the activities of this assassins' in
QUESTION called the Peoples Court"
Contrary to all the assertions of
the fascist hired journalists and the
professors of law in the Third En-
pire," the Peoples Court" in
reality proceeds with it's work in
the same manner as the court-mar-
tials.
Defendants Brought Secretly
Two to three trials are conducted
at the same time in each of the
three rooms of the First Peoples
Court" in Berlin. The defendants
are brought to the court secretly,
by night, while all measures of
precaution are taken The accused
learn of their coming trial only
a few hours beforehand, and only
the nearest relatives-the parents,
wives or husbands-are informed
when the rial is to take place The
investigating judge appoints trust
worthy" lawyers for the defense,
and even these lawyers are not
allowed to speak to the defendants
prior to the trial Long before the
accused is examined all the wi
nesses are subjected to a thorough
examination by the investigating
judge and the lawyer, and are
threatened to give evidence ap-
proved by the public prosecutor.
The atmosphere of terror in the
courtroom is witnessed by the fact
that the public" is represented in
part nearly exclusively by notorious
torturers, and often even by those
who have personally participated in
torturing the defendants in ques-
ton. Foreign correspondents wish
ing to be present at such trial are
denied admission under one pretext
or another The relatives of the
defendants are Immediately dis
missed from the courtroom if they
greet the defendants or say an en-
couraging word to them.

a veil to be dropped entirely when
it is matter Of passing a sentence
Of vengeance against Ernst Thael-
mann. Notwithstanding the asser-
tions Of authoritative German
judges" that Thaelmann will most
likely be sentenced to only eight
to ten years hard labor, there are
indications that they wish to bring
about his trial with stLpefying sud-
denness in order thus to be able,
while unhindered by the protests
of world public opinion. to "avenge"
themselves upon Thaelmann.
1t is already a few weeks since
there is no information about
Thaelmann's whereabouts. The for
eign delegations wishing to speak
with Thaelmann have all been
categorically refused. Even his
nearest relatives do not know where
he is being held. Nobody knows
where the peoples judges" are
torturing Thaeln'ann are "prepar-
ing" him for his trial.
Begin Mass Protests
The fascist rulers must not and
will not succeed in their intentions
to confuse the toilers of all coun-
tries who are so carefully watch
ing over Thaelmanns fate. The
front Of struggle in defense Of Ernst
Thaelmann must become stronger
in all countries. With ever greater
energy the toilers should mobilize
for the struggle against the fascist
terror, and for the liberation of
Thaelmann as we'll as OF all the
anti-fascist fighters in the Hitler
prisons and concentration camps.

An Organized Retreat

THE Atlantic Seamen's United Front
Strike Committee proposed yesterday
that, on account of the treacherous strike
breaking activities of the leaders of the In
ternational Seamens Union and the LILA,
who have brought about considerable OBJECTIONS
and recessions in the Atlantic seamen's strike it is
necessary to follow the tactic of organized retreat
in the struggle which began a week ago.
The committee proposed that the strikes on seven
coal boats, which still solid, be continued.
The retreat was proposed in order that the
on the ships can maintain their organized ranks
in face of unsxempifed scabbery on the part Of
leaders Of the 1.SU, and prepare for future and
greater struggles
The situation was briefly as follows: Mass pres
sure eff the the ships forced leaders of the
1SU. to go On record for a strike to take place on
Oct. g. But when these leaders saw that the men
were ready to carry militant united strike they
soon e.feed with the N.RA. officials and the ship
owners to call it of and throw the demands of the
seaen into the laps of arbitrators to be defeated
or thrown into the waste basket
But the seamen on % ships, realizing that the
only way to win their demands was strike walked
out under the leadership of the Atlantic Seamen's
United Front Strike Committee All efforts to
spread the strike were sabotsged by the ISU off,
Gals, VINO working with the shipowners boarded
the ships and soved confusion among the men as
they arrived in the ports. They told them that
there strike they shipped scabs to take the
place of the strikers, they disorganized and dis
ruptsd the strike in every port
= Il is necessary, in view of these events for the
Sean1cn to adopt the tactic of organized retreat to
ship the militant forces aboard the ships where che
IS.U. officials have demoralzed the crews to con-
t1ue the strike on the seven coal boats in Boston,
Norfolk and Newport News and to lay base for
further Organized united struggle for better con-
ditions the vessels.
The sesmen have learned great lessons in this
strike. lessons that will be of enormous value IN
future struggles They have learned that the IS.U.
leaders are the leading strike-breakng agents of
tie shpownors. They have learned that they must
take over the reigns Of tile s.U themselves, that
trey must drive from The waterfront and from
their union these mislesders Of labor, They have

MOSCOW, Oct. IA (By Wireless) :.
Messages received here from Har-
bin report that the living quarters
of Soviet citizens employed on the
Chinese Eastern Railway, and ar
res ed in recent frame-ups by Man
churian authorities, are being oc-
cupied by members of Japanese
garriSonS.
The apartment of the Pogra-
nichnaya station master has been
seized by members of the Japanese
lower command. Not restricting
themselves to this illegal action, the
Japanese heads of the local gar
rison have announced that they are
also planning to take over the seven
best apartments belonging to the
Soviet railway administration. The
Soviet Consul at Pogranichnaya has
demanded that the arbitrary seiz-
ures be discontinued at once, and
declared to the chief of the local
Japanese military mission, who
paid him a formal visit, that he
considers these outrageous actions
as factors complicating the rela-
tons of the Soviet Union and Japan

ThdeZna1ln Trial Focuses attention
On Vicious Nasi's Peoples Court

The sentences of these courts
which in general recognize no rules
of legislation whatsoeyer-cannot. be
appealed from. The defendants are
not allowed to have their own law
yers. An eyewitness reports in the
French press that all the defend
ants give the impression of being
extremely worn out and sick. Among
the defendants are also many
women whose faces bear traces Of
mar yrdom. When the court fears
that evidence or exposures will be
made, inconvenient for the existing
regime, then the trials are held in
the interests of the Safety of the
State"-behind closed doors.
These Peoples Courts" created
in order to terrorize the popula-
ton, have thrown hundreds of the
best working-class fighters into the
hard labor prisons for many years.
Against the majority of the de-
PENDANTS no evidence whatsoever of
their Grimes" can be found.
Is Years Hard Labor
If up to now comparatively mild"
sentences of up to Is years hard
labor were passed, this was done
with special purpose. Indignant
public opinion must be misled
about the true nature of the "Peo-
pies curt" until Ernst Thaelmann
will be brought before this secret
court of assassinators. this so-called
Peoples Court" which was actu-
ally established for him.
The justices who will sit in ludg
ment on Thaelmann will be only
members of the Reichswehr, officers
in the air force, and court officials,
who have repeatedly proved their
loyalty to Hitler" by murders and
terrorist sentences against revolu-
tionary toilers. AS permanent AS

masses who are deceived by social
demagogy, then Jugoslc ian fascism
has no serious support among the
petty -bourgeoisie, nor serious assis-
lance by monopolistic capital, be-
cause the big bourgeois.e represents
no serious force.
Therefore traits of military
clioues and bureaucrats. namely
traits of open violence. apply to it
more than to fascism in any other
country. The difficulties it is called
upon to fight are far more serious
than those Of fascisn1 in Italy or
Germany.
THE dissolving of Parliament,
leaving only it's shadow; the forcing
underground of all political parties
and making circles connected with
the general corps passing for a
party having the exclusive right OF
existence, these governments of mill
tary cliques which succeed one an
other have closed all the valves OF
popular opinion. But as these could
not solve single problem, and as
the crisis, the disorganizing of the
finances and the prejudicing of ex-
ports were intensified, all these con-
Predictions had to manifest them
selves somewhere.
while the prosecutions of every
movement directed against the gov
eminent succeeded in smothering
all popular movement for certain
time, naturally it could not liberate
Jugoslavia from terrorist organiza-
tions, the more so when these or
CARNATIONS found support in the
spying agencies of powers interested
in weakening Jugoslavia."

The task OF the seamen now is to strengthen

The Governments hand in dealing with the labor
troubles now besetting the recovery program would be
enormously strengthened if the Government were
dealing Justly and decently with it's own employees.
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OBTAINING THAT

The Federal Government in attempting to arbitrate
the differences between labor and industry should be
able to enter any conference with clean hands. It

land for his steak sauces. He
wouldn't let the restaurant do
anything but bring the steak
to the table, along with 18 or
20 different bottles, including
the extract Of something taken
out of an East Indian idol.
Then he would push back his
hair and stand up, and pour
things on the steak, at inter-
walls of 10 seconds by the
watch, dabbing on little pinches
of savory and smears of un-
guents, until you would have
thought he was making up
the steak for a Chinese bandit
role in a Pearl Buck picture.
When he had finished max
ing the sauce, he was too de-
pleted to eat any of 1t himself
and had to go and lie down in
the trophy room. The net
effect of his labors was that Of
a moderately good steak covered
with lots of worcestershire.
I have a little recipe for
boiled eggs which I would like
to pass on to you, for I know
that any readers Of this page
are sticklers for the art Of
good cooking and the even
greater art of eating it:
Take the eggs. which have
been boiled exactly three and a
quarter minutes (they boil an
extra quarter Of a minute in
their shells while being brought
in hot water, from the kitchen,
making a precise total of three
and a half minutes before they
are opened). Crack them with
a spoon which has been warmed
to the temperature Of your
thumb, being careful not to let
little bits of egg-encrusted shell
slip down the side Of the cup,
as this slows up the mixing,
besides making rather more Of
a mess than you had planned.
Then take dab Of butter, and
place it perpendicularly on the
upper surface of the eggs, fol-
lowed by a dash Of salt and a
dash Of pepper, performed with
a left-to-right gesture.
Then mix the top surface Of
the egg under, until a whole
new surface appears, and re-
peat the process of butter, salt
and pepper, turning each pre-
pared surface under and expos
ing a new one, until the whole
egg content has been thor
oughly mixed. Then, as a final
fillip, give four sharp turns
with the spoon, and wash your
fingers.
And If you don't say that
they are the best boiled eggs
you ever ate-then maybe they
aren't.
