The need for unity of all workers,

Unite Around These Demands!
The Packinghouse Workers In

workers, calls for such unity and
has arranged mass meetings for this
purpose. 1t calls upon the workers
to unite around the following de-
mands:
% Elimination of speed-up and
the firing of all efflciency experts.
(2) A 20 per cent increase in wages.

Gallagher Is Told

SAN FRANCISCO, July 90
Leo Gallagher, California attor-
ney, was informed today by the
International Juridical Associa-
ton in Paris that the trial of
Ernst Thaelmann by the Nazi
Peoples Court will begin in Ber-
lin on Aug. l.
On receiving the information
Gallagher wired the Daily
Worker urging that flood of
protests be directed at once to
the Peoples Court against its
contemplated legal assassination
of Thaelmann.
Every possible means OF pro-
test must be used" Gallagher's
message said. "Thaelmann is in
imminent danger. Only mass
militant protests of the worlds
workers and their sympathizers
will save him."

urgent appeal for immediate remit

"For the high crime of leading
peaceful demonstration Of Negro
and white workers and having in
his home radical literature, Angelo
Herndon, 19-year old Negro, has
been sentenced for a term of eigh-
teen to twenty years on the no
torious Georgia chain gang. He
will be sent to the chain gang
August 3rd, unless $4,000 is raised
to win him freedom while his ap-
peal is carried to the U. S. Supreme
Court.
"In short, Herndon, for exercising
merely the elementary rights of
American citizenship, is facing one
of the most cruel and unusual
punishments ever devised by the
savage mind of the Southern ruling
class. This case is a challenge to
every fair minded American. We

must raise the S15.000 bail. We
cannot let Herndon down. With his
life and liberty trembling in the
balance, he has steadily shown the
most high and dauntless courage.
All we are asked to do is to loan
money to make up this bail?fund
I appeal to every one who can pos
sibly afford It'll to help build up the
$4,000"
The national office of the Inter
national Labor Defense announced
that loans totalling S7242 have been
received so far. With only three
days left to post bond to prevent
Herndon being sent to the chain
gang, the sum of s7,758 is still
needed. Every organization, every
individual who can, must rush loans

Amalgamated Involved
The American Civil Liberties
Union protested against the Police
Departments effort to "discrimin-
ate" against picked unions and
union representatives. Police Off
cials declared that the Joint Board
Of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers asked for police creden-
tials so that their delegates would
have something to show" Joseph
Schlossberg, general secretary of the
Amalgamated, denied this. 1t is
significant, however, that Sidney
Hillman of the Amalgamated is one
of the chief labor" officials of the
Roosevelt Administration N. R. A.,
and that Hillman's anti-labor atti-
tude and actions in this position
have been so bald that he has been
attacked for them by a member of
the Roosevelt National Recovery
Review Board.

gether with the federal government,
the N. r. A. machinery, etc, in their
attempts to fascisize all the unions
all these are signs of the growing
fascist terror in the United States
and in New York City against the
organized and unorganized working
clase, against the unemployed, and
against all victims Of the bosses.
"This is nothing but direct at
tempt to take away the hard-won
rights of the workers to strike, to
picket, to fight for the right to
live"
The American Newspaper Guild,
through its executive secretary,
Jonathan Eddy, also issued a strong
protest, stating:
"The attempt of Police Commits
sioner O'Ryan to assume juriSdic-
tion over labor organizations by
requesting their officers to submit
data and photographs is an affront
to hundreds of Thousands of New
YOrkers who have found it neces-
sary to band together to protect
their standards of living and their
rights as free American citizens.
THE order processes that its
object is to eliminate the employ
ment and operation of irresponsible
persons, racketeers and gunmen
on either side of labor controver-
sies.'
'If permitted to stand, its even
tual result may vel be to AFRO
gate to the police commissioner
without hearing or trial the right
to suppress any and all labor or
ganizations, just as in Germany,
Austria and Its'y.
"In view of the prevalence of

and the present military dictator
ship in Minneapolis, with its ac-
companying suppression of free
press, officers of the American
Newspaper Guild are cooperating
with other labor and liberal or
ganiZations here for a mass pro-
test against the mounting en-
croachments on American liberty.

William Randolph Hearst's news
papers speak. Only yesterday
Hearst's New York American played
up an editorial by Richard Wash
burn Child, former American Am
bassador to Italy, calling for gov
ernmena5 licensing of labor unions
an important fascist practice. Child
demanded that the government
identify good labor" and 'bad
labor"
He wrote: 'The government has
responsibility to-day to make Off
cial distinction between licenses to
be given officially to REAL labor
unions and the license which is
seized by radical groups. Will
the administration now have
the political power to extend blue
RECOMMENDATION of management to
the blue regimentation of labor?"
President Green of the A. F. of l..
two days earlier outlined to the
New York Times program for con-
tinuing along traditional A. F. Of
L. leadership lines. The "tradi-
tional" lines of the A. F. of L. chiefs
is to make viciously false attacks
upon the Communist Party, to at
tempt to drape the red-spook over
every militant move by the A. F. of
L. rank and file, and to use gang
sters and thugs to carry out reac-
tionary policies to prevent effective
labor action.
The Times reported on Friday
that conservative labor leaders" Of
the A. F. of L. "are moving behind
the scenes to check the spread Of
radicalism in labor ranks"
The daily worker., 1934-07-30

ney and the officialdom of the A.
F. of l.. These officials refuse to
effectively carry on the struggle for
the victory of the strike by spread
ing the strike to the rest OF the
workers, despite the talk that they
are for a general strike. They talk
for the purpose of preventing, if
they can, the development Of gen.
eral strike.
There is growing sentiment
among the Stock Yards workers for
sympathy strike. Other workers
are formulating their demands.
This is already expressed in the
stoppage Of work by the butchers
for a few hours in one of the de-
partments in Armour's. Butchers
demand 81 an hour.
Strikers Favor Mass Picketing
The present strike of the live
stock handlers can end victoriousiy
only if real mass activities are de-
veloped by drawing into the strug-
gle thousands of Chicago workers.
1t is necessary to enlarge the official
picket line OF sandwich pickets and
to rally thousands of workers in
front of the yards, to prevent any
shipment of scabs into the yards.
The strikers themselves already
realize this and "unoficially" mass
picketing is taking place.
Further, it is necessary to estab-
lish militant fighting united front
of all workers. The more skilled
workers, such as butchers and
maintenance men, are organized
into the A. F. of L. Some workers
belong to the Packinghouse Workers
Industrial Union and some to the
Stockyards Labor Council. But the

Two Pickets Killed, 80
Injured, in ''Model
Company Town

KOHLER, Wis, July %. - The
Kohler Company strike which began
almost in the atmosphere Of gaiety
on July is in this company town,
entered the lists of indictments, Fri
day night, that the workers and
farmers of the United States are
chalking up for reckoning against
the bourgeoisie.
Two workers were killed by gun
fire and thirty-nine men, women
and children wounded, gassed, and
manned.
Lee Wakefield, 25 was riddled
through the head and chest with
buckshot and H. Engelman, 27 (six
years Kohler employee was shot
through the back and head. Both
died of their wounds.
Most of the wounded suffered
from machine gun, rifle and shot
gun wounds, and few from gas.
Early in the afternoon surprise
attack was made upon the 24-hour
day picket line which for almost
two weeks had permitted no one but
Walter j. Kohler, millionaire ex-
governor of the state to enter or
ieave the plant.
Towards evening the pickets
gathered their forces of several
thousand again. Suddenly hell broke
loose. They had come within range
of the gas bomb guns, it was dark,
the guns flashed in the night and
pillows of gas blinded and hid the
pickets. The bombs dropped among
Them for the length of a block.
The deputies and imported thugs
were driven back and retreated be-
hind the armored trucks. AS the
workers advanced from different
sections they were met with terrific
gun-fire. Dozens fell, dead and
wounded. The workers retreated
and the steel helmeted deputies fell
upon them mercilessly with clubs
and black jack with no discrimina-
ton for sex or age. In an hour the
quietness of death lay over the tiny
town and the workers returned with
their dead and wounded to Sheboy-
gan, where most of them live.
The National Guards was imme-
diately ordered out by Governor
Schmedemann and thirty-five car
loads reached this little village
early Saturday morning. Towards
evening five more companies were
moved in and the entire National
Guard of the state is modified tc
await orders.

Calls for Protest
Calling upon trade union members
everywhere to defend the indie
psndence of the trade unions, the
Food Workers Industrial Union
branded the police order as moth
ing but a direct attempt to take
away the hard-won rights OF the
workers to strike, picket and fight
for the right to live
Calling fo- city-wide protests, the
Food Workers Industrial Union con-
tinues:
"The Food Workers Industrial
Union condemns these actions and
instructions of Chief Inspector
Valentine and calls upon all work
ers in the A. F. of L. and indie
pendent food unions and its local
unions, on all organized and un-
organized food workers, on all
workers and their friends in New
York, to unite in one solid united
front of labor and to make the
city ring with the mighty voice of
working class protest against this
step to take away our right to
choose our own representatives,
our right to organize and strike"
THE real purpose behind this
move on the part of the New Yori
Police Department is not against
the Iacketeers and gunner, but is
aimed directly at the workers in the
respective trade and industrial
unions, regardless of their aff1lia-
ton. 1t is a definite attempt to take
away from the workers the righ;
to choose their own labor represen-
tatives, and to place in the hands OF
the police the right to choose labor
representatives for the workers.

Gas a result of this experience,
when the San Francisco workers
move again into battle, they will
place Vandeleur, Casey and Walsh

Party Functions
I'm spite of the joint forces OF the
vigilantes and the labor takers, in
spite of their attempts to separate
the Communist Party from the
working class. the Communist Party
has not ceased to function for one
single hour. AS soon as the print
ing plant of the Western Worker
was burned by vigilantes, miniature
copies of the Western Worker ap-
peared from twenty-five places.
"AIl units of the Communist
Party are meeting regularly; some
meet every day.

together the California working class
and the Communist Party, The
San Francisco general strike is an
outpost of struggles throughout the
country.

The fastidious woman is well aware that beautiful coiffure is one of her most valuable assets.
 First of all, she makes sure that her hair is in healthy condition. She shampoos often. enough to keep it soft and shiny and the pores of the scalp free from dust and other impurities. There's nothing quite as nice as a regular old-fashioned soap and water shampoo but. if for some reason, it's not always convenient to have one, invest in Q dry shampoo preparation and use 1t between times.
 Remember about brushing. And try to hold the brush lightly in your hand so that the brush will vibrate when you pull 1t through your hair instead of sweeping through and ruining your finger wave. Get a really good hair brush. There's a new one on the market to-day and it has bristles as a comb. It's good for the hair and not at all tiring to use.
 If you have oily hair, a too dry scalp or a bit of dandruff, get a reliable tonic that will correct your particular condition. And apply the tonic according to direc- tions on the bottle.
 Next in importance to the health of hair is the manner in which 1t is worn. Plan a becoming coiffure and then learn to keep each hair in place. Use a bit of pomade after you've had a shampoo and get some invisible hair pins to fasten the curls across the back of your neck.

INSECTS RAID
 STATES CROPS
Bugs Make 1894 a Pest Year" Says Michigan
 Experts

Lansing (UP)-Insects infesting Michigan crops have lost all sense of "politeness."
 At least that is the conclusion of Michigan State College entom olo- gists, who claim the bugs this year arrived considerably ahead Of schedule and are hanging around long after they should be satisfied with the damage done."
 Beetles, moths, flies, bugs and many other kinds of insects have comb bined in all stages of develop ment to make 1894 a "pest" year of record in the states farming history. a survey by the college en- tomologists shows.
 These insects have launched a concentrated attack on everything planted. At this time, scientists point out, the cut worm continues to cut down plants weeks after the cut worms usual season of de- struction.
 The army worm is likewise a parasite without any sense of "pro- priety.' insist the specialists. This worm usually multiplies in crops on low areas and then marches to other fields as the original food supply becomes exhausted.
