Chain Gang
Waits For
Negro Hero
LID. Office to Be Open
Until IL Pm. for
Loans to Fund

NEW YORK.-Today is the last
day to send cash and Liberty Bonds
to save Angelo Herndon from the
chain gang.
Up to noon yesterday, $13,851 had
been sent in to the International
Labor Defense as loans toward the
bail fund Of $4,000, leaving $1,149
to be collected by August g. The I
L. D. announced that the national
Office, 80 E. 18th ST., would be kept
open until II p. M, Thursday and
Friday nights, to receive loans.
The T. L. D. at the same time
warned that collections for the $15.-
900 defense fund for Scottsboro and
Herndon, much of which has to be
used from week to week, has Jagged
dangerously, and the preparation OF
the appeals in these cases to the
U. S. Supreme Court may be seri-
ously hampered unless these con-
tlibutions are speeded up.
Certificates are being issued by
the I. L. D. for all loans for Hern-
don bail, countersigned and guar
anteed by the three trustees APP
pointd by the I. L. D., Corliss La
mont, Robert Dunno, and Anna
Damon.
The first of nationwide series
of emergency Scottsboro-H erndon
mass conferences will be held in
New York, August 8, at st. Pauls
Church, 249 w. 132nd st. At this
conference national campaign will
be launched for million signatures
to demand for the freedom of the
Scottsboro boys and Herndon, and
for the enactment of the Bill for
Negro Rights.
The loans that continued to pour
into the l.. L. D. Office for Herndon
bail were mostly in small amounts,
from workers, intellectuals, and
working class organizations.
A girl who had not worked for
four months brought in the first
$40 which she earned, as loan for
the bail fund.
A civil servant in Pennsylvania
wrote: IT am sending $50. I am
sorry can't make this contribu-
ton, but the way things are I can
only make it a loan"
I. w. o. branch 80, Spring Valley,
N. Y, sent in SIS through the Daily
Worker.
The DzerzinSky Branch "a of the
T. w. o. loaned $40 for the bail
fund, and the Karl Liebknecht
branch rs of Philadelphia contrib
uted $40 for the Scottsboro-H ern-
don defense fund. Both these /. w.
o. branches challenged other
branches of the organization to do
the same.
Although the greater part of the
$13,851 which had been loaned for
the bail fund by Wednesday came in
the form of small loans from in
dividuals and organizations, num-
Der of $50 and 500 loans were re-
ceived from lawyers and other pro-
fessionals, and several even larger
sums we're received.

POLICE RIFLE REGIMENT
HEAD ADMITS GUNS ARE
TO BE USED ON WORKERS

NEW YORK. Whatever de-
mands are made of it, my company
will be ready for action" said
Lieutenant Carl Anderson yester-
day, when questioned on the future
plans for Organ, fascist rifle regi-
ment.
Anderson is the police officer who
was appointed head of the Organ
LaGuardia new police storm troop
regiment which is now training at
a rapid pace in the city armories to
crush strikes and struggles OF the
unemployed.
LaGuardia let the cat out of the
bag when he blurted out that the
Police Rife Regiment was merely
the old riot squad under new
name"
Indeed, the old riot squad has
been given new name, but it has
also had its forces refurnished with
new weapons, and new methods,
fascist methods, have become the
order of the day within the ranks.
That the regiment is being drilled
to go into action against labor
unions and Communists was made
clear yesterday by Lieutenant An
derson in the armory where the
regiment was drilling. He declared

BERLIN, Aug lon the Goth an
niversary Of the beginning of the
imperialist world slaughter, Presi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg, faithful
tool of German capitalism and its
most reactionary groups, the rich
landowners and finance capitalists,
who had taken part in both the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and
prominent part in the World War,
was breathing his last.
At the time this is written he is
not expected to live more than a
few hours.
Won Hindenburg became presi-
dent of Germany with the help of
the Socialist Party leaders, who
urged workers to vote for him as
the lesser evil" in the elections
in which Hitler was running as can
didate for the Nazi Party and Ernst
Thaelmann for the Communist
Party.
Later Won Hindenburg assisted
Hitler in assuming power and in
slaughtering German workers and

ZAUSNER ATTEMPTS
TO SELL OUT STRIKE
OF $4,000 PAINTERS

NEW YORK.-Attempts to break

when it was learned that Philip
zausner, illegal secretary treasurer
Of District Council 9 of the Painters
Brotherhood, was making agreements
with independent employers with
out referring the question to vote

Locals 84S and 400 unanimously
denounced this scheme at a strike
meeting yesterday at the Yorkville
Labor Temple, E. 84th st. Mem
hers of these locals demanded that
no agreements be signed until a
referendum is taken.
Louis Weinstock, chairman of the
strike committee of Local 400,
pointed out that zausner, who has
no right to speak for the men, is
working with the N. r. A. to bring
about a status quo agreement
through which the conditions of the
workers will not be improved one
iota.

union officials to prevent real ac-
ton in improving the conditions of

sands of dollars for the benefit of

TO make possible this scheme, /"
says the statement, "the Master
Painters Association had extended
an offer, which they knew the
membership would answer with a
strike, thereby obligingly giving Mr..
zausner, their protector. the chance
to again collect S160000 for the
benefit of his gangsters and rack
eteers."
Pointing out that the entire mem
bership of the union is familiar
with the trickery of zausner and
his gangsters, Weinstock declared
that the workers voted against the
wage cut proposal and for strike,
but at the same time rejected the
illegal and unconstitutional Dis
trict Council which rode into office
through fraudulent voting.

Picketing Goes On

MINI E AP OILS, Mimi,
Aug. National Guardsmen
today raided the headquarters
of the truck drivers union,
Local STA, and later, with ma
chine guns, raided the head
quarters of the Central Labor
Union. Hundreds of pickets were
arrested during the course of the
day. The troops confiscsted 40
picketers' automobiles.
Among those arrested were Will
liam Brown, Vincent Dunno, Miles
Dunno and Harry Prank, union
leaders.
Picketing in various neighbor-
hoods of the city continues in spite
of the raids and arrests of the ma
tional guardsmen.
John Belor, striker wounded by po-
lice guntire on July 20, died early
this morning at the st. Barnabas
Hospital. He is the second striker
to die at the hands of police bull
lets.
The resentment against Floyd Oh
son, Farmer-Labor governor, is
growing as it becomes clear to the
workers that Olson is leading a
well-planned strikebreaking action
Olson's troops are escorting more
than 10 per cent of the trucks. They
have outlawed picketing and set up
q military stockade to house the ar
rested strikers.
The action of the strike leadership
in failing to expose Olson up to a
couple of days ago, still leaves some
illusions that Olson will help the
strikers.
When the troops raided the Cen
trail Labor Union Hall, crowd of
several thousand gathered. Twenty
trucks with mounted machine guns
lined. up outside the place, The po-
lice seized all papers and records of
the truck drivers union in their
raid on the local unions office.
