Forty Leaders of Latin
American Confederation
Thrown i'm Prison

NEW YORK. - Word re-
ceived from Argentina reveals
the fact that the Justo gov
eminent is seeking to take the
lead among South American
governments in a terroristic drive
to smash the revolutionary trade
unions, all anti-war and anti-fas-
cist organizations, and the COMMIT
mist Party.
Forty leading members Of the
Latin-American Trade Union Con-
federation have been arrested in
recent weeks, at the height of a
press campaign around "Commu-
mist plot" invented by the govern
ment of General Justo to justify
the smashing of all militant work
ers' organizations, and especially
the red trade unions and their pan
American confederation.
This pilot" is the invention of the
Special Section Against Commun-
ism a terrorist branch OF the po-
lice which has unlimited powers
and is responsible only to the Sec
rotary of the Interior.
Among those arrested are Miguel
Contreras, General Secretary of the
Latin American Trade Union Con-
federation Confederation Sindical
Latino America), and chairman Of
the Pan-American Anti-War Con-
gress at Montevideo; three success
sive secretaries of the Argentine
Trade Union Unity League (Comite
de Unidad Sindical classical, Mar
cos Hammer, Francisco Monaco, and
Luna.
Others arrested include Oscar
Creydt, Secretary Of the Latin
American Committee Against I'm
perialist War; two leaders OF the
Latin American Trade Union Con-
federation, Oscar Mag,Iin and
Florindo Moretti, the latter the
leader Of the trade union opposition

gram and every law sanctioned by
the Justo regime aimed at strength
ening its position has resulted in
more hunger, more misery, more
oppression, more terror for the
masses of workers and peasants.
Growing Struggles
The workers and peasants are be-
coming progressively more radical
lied. and are seeking the road of
struggle. The high political level
which this struggle has attained is
shown by the strike in August, 1888
against the landing of 100 German
Nazis at Buenos Aires, and the
widespread reputation of the Pan
American Conference at Monte
video under the leadership OF Cor
dell Hull, U. 8. Secretary of State
The anti-war movement has
made great strides since the Monte

has extended it's influence particu-
larly in Paraguay ana BOLIVIA, nav

1t is in this situation that the
Justo government has launched its
brutal persecution of all anti-war
anti-fascist, and other class-struggle
organizations. This drive is taking
place precisely at the moment wher

Taximen, Stick Till
You Win!

THE HEROIC STRUGGLE that the New York
1 tsz drivers are wagng against company unions
and for better conditions in the industry unoer Jne
leadership Of the Taxi Drivers Union OF Greater
New York, deserves the admiration and support OF
all workers It should serve an example for
workers IN every industry in their tight against the
NR.A wage slashing program.
Understanding that their very life depends
upon unionzation of the taxi industry, understand
ing that without strong fighting union they will
never be able to win decent wage scale, the hack
men are putting up one of the most stubborn, mill
tant hghts in the history of New York labor.
The huge mass picket demonstrations of the
past two days have already forced the feet opera
tors to begin to talk about granting some OF the
strikers demands. Parmeee Terminal and Radlo
feet operators have agreed to take back all men
who have been Disseminated against. But they
still hold out against recognition Of the Taxi Drivers
Union. They want the drivers to vote on the ques-
ton of the union after they return to work. The
drivers will have nothing to do with such plan
as at present presented by the company. and cor
rectly So They will not go back to work without
their union.
AND along with this demand and connected with
n it. goes the demand for improved conditions and
higher wages. That is why the taxmen are so
stubbornly fighting for their union
In fighting for union recognition the struggle
must be reentlessly directed against the LaGuardia
slave code-a code equally miserable as the tex
tile code, which brought the wages of the workers
in the weaving mills down to $12 and slS week
The LaGuardia code would bring the wages of the
hackmen down to sl2 week through the minimum
wage joker.
LaGuardia is using his police in an attempt
to break the strike and put over his code. Gang
sters from the Sherwood Detective Agency are at
tempting to saddle this code on the drivers. The
so-caHed Brotherhood the Parmelee company union
and the NRA are for the s12 code. Indeed, the
first draft of the code was worked up by Mr. Allen,
an NRA chief.
The Taxi Drivers Union is demanding min
imum of s2S for day men and s25 for night drivers
The union stands for unemployment insurance TO
be paid out of the pockets Of the bosses 1t demands
vacations with pay. no blackisting and no discri-
mination against Negro drivers.
This is what the union stands for. That is why
the union is mhtantly fighting against the COM
pany union, against BaGuardias starvation CODE
and for recognition Of the fighting union Of the
workers, the Taxi Drivers Union.
The hackmen are putting up pioneering fight
against company unions in New York. They deserve
and must get the support Of every worker who feels
their fight is his fight. All hail the fighting taxi
men of Greater New York!

schutEbund Refugees Bitter


PRAGUE, March 6 (By MaiD.-
The Social Democratic leaders in
Austria have prohibited the Social
Democratic refugees, especially the
Republican Guards, to give anyone
any information about the struggle
without the permission OF the lead
ers. This prohibition is, however,
entirely disregarded by the Rep1b-
lican Guards, especially when
speaking 10 Communists.
In the course OF a conversation
with a group of these Republican
Guards, they spoke Of the causes N
the defeat of their uprising. With
the utmost bitterness they pointed
out the treacherous role played by
their leaders. THE leaders told us
at one time" declared Republican
Guard, that the situation was I'M
favorable for our struggle, and only
Hitler would benefit by 1t. But
when they saw that they could re-
strain us no longer, then they said
that the situation was favorable,
but they did their utmost to prevent
the fight.
when the news arrived about
the conflict in Linz, we were ready
to begin fighting at once. We must
say that our subordinate leaders
behaved well. But the head of our
Republican Guard, Koelbel, told us
as late as Monday that nothing was
going to come out of the fighting,
that we should go home and re-
spond to the roll-call again on
Tuesday. We came on Tuesday,
and, without waiting for the signal
of the commander in-chief, we oc-
cupied the workers buildings.
"All Communists Now"
Among us there were not only
Republican Guards, but COMMIT
nists and unorganized workers-in
word, all who had been able to
obtain arms. 1t was a mistake On
our part that we did not occupy
the bridges, public government
buildings, post offices, ETC., and that
we remained on the defensive. If
we had only had an organization
and communication with the other
fighting divisions, we would have
been able to hold out longer and to
ward off the soldiers. But we had
no plan of attack or fight. The
Social Democratic leaders, such as
Renner and Bauer, are regarded by
us as traitors, and we are ready to
draw the logical conclusion from
this"
When this Republican Guard was
asked whether there are Commu-
nists among the Guard, he replied:
Nov we are all Communists
