German Workers Defy Nasis In Open Strike 4ctions

the miners to the weekly forced con-
tribution exacted from their wages

The bullying Of the Nazi OFF,
Gals who called for an open vote
on the question OF the relief" pay
ments, resulted in vote Of over
900 out Of LOCO workers against the
payments to the Hitler government.
The demand against the payment
of these "rehef" payments figures
prominently on the hundreds of thou
sands Of leaflets which the German
Communist Party Is Illegally c.rculat-

This open vote against the Nazis
reveals the seething rebellion among
the German masses against the Fas-

NEW YORK, March breaking
into open action against all threats
of terrorism and repression, the Ger

creasingly bold resistance to the
wage-cutting and JOB dismissals OF

The announcement by the Fascist

DEWAG works near Duisburg, for
example, were slated for dismissal
was answered by strike threat of
the entire working fierce consisting
Of many hundreds Of skilled workers,

Following on this strike news,
comes an extraordinarily revealing
admission Of the growing shakiness
of the Hitler fascist dictatorship
given In the reports today, which
state that the French Government
is considering granting Hitler's
demand for m -derate Permanent
in view of the fact that Hitler has
openly admitted that the business
of the munition factories is help
ing to stave off open revolt, not
only among the mcsses Of tobless,
but in the very ranks of the Storm
Troopers themselves.
The Duisburg strikes are only part
of a growing series Of strike out
breaks in all parts of Germany. Dairy
workers at Dortmund recently went
out on strike in defiance OF all Nazi
DEGREES. Only the severest police
terror succeeded in breaking the
strike, but only after many workers
had to be arrested and sent to con-
camps.

A s500000 boat to search for fish

Congress at this session
The Mccormack bill authorizing
the Bureau of Fisheries was formally
reported today to the House by the

The purpose of the proposed legis-
lation is to provide a modern vessel
for Use in research work, with respect
to ocean fisheries. Such vessel is
much needed and particularly along
the Atlantic Coast :.
Most Of the ills of the fisheries
may be traced to lack of knowledge
concerning the fluctuations in abun-
dance of fish. The situation at pres
ent makes for huge economic waste
occasioned by unforeseen gluts and
famines."
Bland said more than $4,000 men
were employed in the fishing industry
from Maine to Virginia, with an an
nual catch estimated at $4,000, ,000
He added that England. France, Den-
mark and other countries had boats
to direct their fishermen TO good

WORKERS IS CITED
Virginia Public Instruction
Head 0epIores Lack in
Report.

The need for training men and
women for skilled work. which Vir-
ginia industries are now being forced
to have done outside the State, is en-
phasized in report by Sidney B. Hall.
superintendent of public instruction
in that State, to the Federal Office
of Education.
Industries employing highly skilled
technical workers, he declared, are
not being attracted to Virginia be-
cause of the lack of trained work
men there.
Many manufacturing plants. Hall
disclosed, are producing only semi
finished products, sending them out of
the State to be finished by highly
skilled and hence highly paid work
ers IN other States. This is particu-
larly true, he says, of silk and rayon
plants.
Virginia workmen could and should
il the interest Of the State" Hall
said, 'be taught to perform these
highly skilled operations. If Virginia
is to continue its rapid industrial
development there must follow in the
wake of the industries now employ
ing unskilled and semi skilled work
ers, manufacturing plants which can
absorb the products of these INDUS
tries and which will employ tech
rlcally trained workers"
Approximately 10000 workers III
Virginia. Hall pointed out, received
instruction in trade and industrial oc-
cupations during the past year. This
is creditable showing" he added,
but it is hardly beginning when
considered in terms of the need for
adult industrial education in the
State"

Lasting Six Hours Is Ar.
ranged for Today.

Veterans encamped at Fort Hunt,
Va, who marched through Washing
ton streets Friday demanding cash
payment of the bonus, are to hold
open house today and have extended
an invitation to the public to visit
them.
A program of dancing singing.
boxing, base ball and other amateur
entertainment features was arranged
yesterday in anticipation of the
crowds from the Capital. The enter
tainment will begin at 10 am. and
the pm. closing rule will be waived
to permit any one who desires to
remain after that hour.
Leaders of the bonus march" yes
terday objected to the use of that
term in describing them. The bonus
march," they said, signifies a mass
demonstration on the part of all vet
Grams, such as that held here in
1882, whereas the convention of the
National Veterans Rank and File is
composed of delegates elected from
43 States.
Police Count Challenged.
The Credentials Committee made
its report yesterday at the first con-
vention" session held by the veterans.
The report disputed the count made
by police that 626 marchers took part
in the parade in the Capital. The
veterans count was 872, and a regis
tration of 1.152 was claimed.
Plans we're discussed for holding
sessions in the Washington Audi
torium this week, but arrangements
have not yet been completed. A
committee called upon the relief ad-
ministration to arrange the meetings
in the city, but the matter was re-
ferred to the Veterans Administration
for decision.
After the day of leisure, the dele
gates hope to arrange an interview
with President Roosevelt to present
their three-point program early this
week. Some consideration also is being
given to sending delegations to con-
gressional leaders to present the same
demands. Vice President Garner,
Speaker Rainey and leaders Byrnes
and Smell were included on the tenta-
tive list.
Convention Ends Thursday.
The convention sessions will con.
tinue through Thursday. The veter-
ans have been notified to evacuate
that day so that the Civilian Conser-
vation Corps company, temporarily
quartered at Fort Humphreys, can
move hack in next day
Several spokesmen for the rank
and file organization addressed an
open-air meeting at Seventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue last night
Approximately so persons, about half
of whom we're veterans from Fort
Hunt, heard speakers assail prominent
members of the National Economy
League and recite their arguments for
immediate payment of the bonus.
The Police Department granted per-
mits for similar meetings Thursday
and Friday nights.
