AlleghenyVa UMWA
Locals Give 3-Day
Ultimatum

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July THE
action of nine United Mine Work
ers locals in the Allegheny valley at
a rank and file controlled meeting
last Thursday forces Patrick Pagan,
veteran A. F. Of L. ssllout artist and

ing that if production was not in
creased Immediately the mine would
be shut down, and shortly after
ward fulfilled the threat gy sus-

Management of Camp
Unity Explains

The management of Camp
Unity regrets the discomfort to
which some campers were sub
jected during the past weekend,
because OF lack of sufficient
sleeping accommodations. This
was due to the fact that an I'M
expectedly large crowd. (more
than the camp can normally &C
commodate) came to our camp
this weekend. To avoid spelling
the limited vacation of many
visitors by sending them home,
the management strained every
resource to make their stay pos
sible. Under the circumstances
little confusion was unavoid-
able. The management, however,
wishes to state that drastic
measures are being taken in the
form of supplying additional
tents and better organization of
kitchen and dining room forces,
in order to avoid any confusion
In the future.

regime, and the influence of the
Communist Party is growing ire
mendously. The workers openly
speak of the next stage in the
present events in Germany as
being the proletarian revolution,
which is the only force that can
sweep the whole rotten, corrupt
and bloody structure of fascism
from the face of Germany"
AS an instance of the rising mill
fancy of the German workers. he
told of the large demonstrations
held in the streets of Hamburg at
the time of the beheading of four
Communists recently. The story of
this event, in his own words to the
Daily Worker is as follows:
1.-THE funeral of the four Ger
man comrades who were behead-
ed was called for nine o'clock in
the morning recently. The secret
police of Hamburg changed the
time to eleven o'clock. At eleven
O'Clock the time was changed to
two o'clock. At two o'clock the
time was changed for five o'clock.
At five o'clock over 1900 workers
assembled at the Ohlsdorf ceme-
terry outside of Hamburg for the
funeral. The police we're greatly
surprised that the workers had
such an underground system of
| passing on the news of the
changed time for the funeral.
During the funeral a comrade
got up and made a speech on
the courage of the comrades who
were murdered by the fascists.
They we're murdered not in re-
venge for old battles, but in ire
mendous fear of the new battles
looming, fear Of the German
working class led by its Party,
the Communist Party of Ger
many. The police and storm
troopers attacked the funeral.
Some comrades were arrested.
The names and addresses and
handwriting of many of the
gathered workers were taken.
During the next few weeks
these comrades, whose names had
been taken we're visited by the
police and Nazis who took them
to the Jail, where they were beaten
and tortured to get the names of
other Party workers from them.
The action of the Nazis was flu
tile. The workers die before they
give any names.
Continually growing, becoming
steel hard, the Communist Party
of Germany prepares itself and
the German working class for the
victorious seizure of power"

quittal of the four Reichstag fire
defendants, Dimitroff, Torgler, Pop
off and Taneff," Rosenfeld stated.
Since the Nazis could find no
tangible evidence against Ernst
Thaelmann, they must use the Peo-
pies Court to pin the crime of
spreading Communist propaganda,
which means death in Germany to-
day"
DR.. Resented outlined the man
ner in which the court works. There
are two jurists and one layman ap-
pointed by Hitler to sit as judges.
These three must be highly reliable
NaziS who have distinguished them
selves in defending Hitler and his
regime. The defendant cannot
choose his own lawyer, nor can the
court disagree with the charge of
the prosecutor.
Furthermore, he said, the Reich
Minister of Justice has the right to
change the provisions of the law to
deprive any possibility of rights
to change the law even during the
trial.
Seaman Testifies
Ernst Schmitt, an unemployed
seaman from Bremen, who served
IA days in Nazi concentration
camp undergoing severe beating
and deprivation, testified that he
had spoken with men who had seen
Thaelmann in prison and that they
told him how Thaelmann was
beaten and tortured regularly by
the Nazis.
In reply to a question whether
the events of the last few days will
have any affect on the legal Situa
ton in Germany, DR.. Resented re-
piled:
I'm afraid it will. In order to
maintain power, Hitler will use
even more terrOristic methods to
maintain his rule-that is, unless
the people of the world, and par
ticularly the people of America,
raise their voices in protest"
Other witnesses included DR.. Al
phonse Goldschmidt, former Pro-
fessor of Economics in Leipzig, Mrs.
Anabel Williams Ellis, author and
sister of John Strachey and daugh-
ter of j. st. Loe Strachey, and Anna
Schultz, wife of John Scheer, MUIR
dered member of the Central Com
mittee of the German Communist
Party.
Goldschmidt recounted the perse-
cution of intellectuals, including
Carl Won Ossietski, liberal writer,
under the Hitler fascist rule. Gold
schmidt told of some of the mis-
treatments he and his companions
had suffered before he fled from
Germany.
A dramatic moment in the pro-
ceedings occurred when Anna
Schultz read letter from a friend
in Germany describing the fortunes
to her husband and his comrades
by the Nazis, who tried unSuccess-
fully to make them confess to plot
ting an armed uprising just before
Hitler came into power,
The commission will sit today to
hear testimony of DR.. Franz Hoel-
lering, former editor Of the Der
liner Zeitung am Mittag," and
other noted persons who are quail
fed to give first hand information
of the conditions in Germany today.

by trying to head off the growing
revolt of the Negro petty bourgeoi-
sic against official Negro bourgeois
reformist as represented by the
N.A.ACP., the National Urban
League, etc.
The session Friday afternoon was
perhaps the hottest of any confer
ence in the Is years existence OF
the N.A.ACP. Starting off with a
sharp debate on the question of
"democratizing" the organization,
proceeding to the overwhelming de-
feat of a resolution indirectly criti-

it ended with wild discussion on
how to expunge from the record
the speech of Herbert Newton, In
ternational Labor Defense repre-
sentative, in which he called upon
the delegates to cooperate with the
LID. to save Angelo Herndon from
the chain gang, and the Scottsboro
bows and the Atlanta Six from the
electric chair
Leadership In Panic Over
NewtOn's Speech
The top leadership, which at first
tried to prevent Newton from adj
dressing the convention and inter-
rupted him six different times dur
ing the ten minutes allotted to him,
became panicky when Newton ana
lived the desperate situation con-
fronting the Negro people and de-
clared:
1.-THE three most important ques-
lions any oppressed minority group
could discuss are:
"(D What are It's aims? co
through what methods is it possible
to achieve these aims, and 90 with
whom must it fight, and against
whom must it fight, to make the
achievement of these aims inevi-
tablet"
Newton then proved the respon-
sibility of the capitalist-landlord
system for the bitter exploitation
and persecution of the Negro people
and pointed out that the potential
allies of the Negro people are %
the broad masses of exploited white
workers; (2) the poor and middle
farmers; 90 the lower strata of the
middle class, lie, small business men,
professionals, intellectuals and all
others who suffer under the rule Of
monopoly capitalism.
Newton Calls For Real Fight
On DynchIng
He attacked the so-called Costi-
gan Wagner anti-lynching bill as a
reformist measure, designed to de-
ceive the masses and head off their
revolutionary struggles against faS-
cist lynch terror, and contrasted
the reformist contents of that bill
with the Bill of Civil Rights for
the Negro People and Against
Lynching, drawn up by the League
of Struggle for Negro Rights.
Newton's speech was expunged
from the record.
