There are 20 species of water
striders in America, north of Mexico.
In tropical countries there are water
striderS that even skate on the ocean.
These fellows live on the juices of
dead animals, to be found floating at
the surface, and the mother strider
anchors her eggs to the floating sea-
weed. There is one species that is
found of the coast of Florida and
another of the coast of California.

Coast Rally
To Protest
Sentences
Call Issued By l. L. d.
for Mass Demonstration
Against Terror

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 49,
Demanding freedom Of the con-
victed demonstrators of June 1, the
Relief Workers Protective Union
and the international Labor De-
Tense have issued a general call for
a mass demonstration at the Plaza
at noon Saturday.
The two-year sentences imposed
on Harold Hendricks and John San
ders, and the one-year 325- day SEN
tence to James McShann by the
former Los Angeles Times attorney,
Judge Arthur Crum, are the most
vicious sentences handed out in re-
cent Los Angeles labor history
Coupled with the renewed police
brutality at the Hollywood street
meeting last Friday night, the fas-
cist attack on Attorney Grover
Johnson, who defended the June
demonstrators and numerous mari
time strikers, the sentences are the
signal for intensified persecution of
workers in Los Angeles.
Against this persecution all work
ers and workers organizations are
called to launch militant counter
offensive.
Earle Tennery, fourth defendant
in the June case, is serving his
maximum sentence Of ninety days
for disturbing the peace, Appeal
action is being sought for McShann,
Hendricks and Sanders. The three
are still in jail with bail set at 5000
each for McShann and Hendricks,
and $4,000 for Sanders.

Grafton of Anti-Fascist
Prisoners

NEW YORK.-Hailing the can
didacy of Ernst Thaelmann in the
name of the German Communist
Party as a daring oct of the Ger
man working class and all it's anti
fascist allies" the National Com
mittee To Aid Victims of German
Fascism yesterday called for ma
ton wide campaign to get 1000, 900
signatures affixed to the demand
that Thaelmann and all anti-fascist
prisoners be Immediately released
from the Nazi dungeons.
The campaign for million sig
natures" the committee stated, ito
free all antifascist prisoners in Hit
Ter dungeons, to save the life of
Thaelmann who is scheduled to be
tried in September by the Peoples
Court, the Nazi drumhead court
martial, is also a campaign for
votes. Every name secured is a
vote for Thaelmann's liberation. A
million names, million votes, a
million voices raised in this country
for our imprisoned antifascists will
prove to Hitler and his fascist
bands that large sections of men
and women in this country are
voting against him, and for our
anti-faScist brothers whom he is
torturing in his concentration
camps"
The collection of million sigma
lures for the liberation of Thael-
mann and all anti-fascist prisoners
in Germany has already begun in
many cities and towns all over the
country.
The demands which the Com
mittee raises around which the
broadest appeal can be aroused are
demand to know the present where
abouts Of Thaelmann; demand in
formation as to the health and we'll
being Of Thaelmann and all other
prisoners; demand an open, public
trial for Thaelmann with Thael-
mann permitted to choose his own
lawyer and to consult with outside
newspaper men who should be adj
mitted to the trial; demand the
right Of all workers delegations to
visit Thaelmann in his cell, and
for safe conduct for all witnesses.

80 Arrested
In Strike on
Bread Prices

NEW YORK-Mrs. Rose Simon,
Bronx housewife, will appear for
trial next Monday on charge OF
assault growing out of the FIVE
week-old strike against the high
price of bread on 174th Street in
the Bronx.
Mrs. Simon, who is being held
without bail, is one of the 80 pickecs
who have been seized by police since
July u, the first day of the protest
action of neighborhood people
against the advance in the cost of
bread and rolls. Twenty-Five of the
pickets have received Jail sentences
of ! to 2 days each.
The strike, which is being led by
the Hath Street Neighborhood Or
ganization, arose out of the viola
ton of an agreement between the
organization and three bakery own
ers, arrived at last spring. The
three bakeries, Max Julian, Inc,
Miller Brothers and the Kleinburg
Bakery, agreed to charge 7 cents fo-
a pound of bread and 10 cents for
a dozen rolls. Signs to the effect
that the shops had settled with the
neighborhood organization appeared
in the windows of the bakeries.
In June the signs were withdrawn
and prices were advanced to 8 cents
a pound for bread and 20 cents a
dozen for rolls After five weeks of
negotiations, the Hath Street group,
unable to get the bakery owners to
lower prices, called the strike.
Representatives of the strikers
pointed out that the bakery owners
are attempting to raise the prices
even higher, to the minimum stipu-
lated under the new MIRA. code.
supposed to have been effective Au-
gust 10. The new prices are 9 cents
a pound for bread and "a cents a
dozen rolls.
Pickets are being sent from the
headquarters of the neighborhood
organization at 1841 Bryant Avenue
to the bakeries daily, despite at
tempts by the employers to get an
injunction against picketing.

Votes to Expel

BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 16.-At a
hectic general membership meeting
of the Socialist Party of Bridge
port, last night, Mayor Jasper Nc
Levy's steamroller, led by McLevy
himself, defeated the opposition OF
rank and file members and ex-
PEELED Kieve Liskofsky, Socialist
selectman, from the party.
The chief charge against Liskof
sky was that he had worked with
Communists, sharing the platform
with members of the Communist
Parry at a demonstration against
war on May 30, the same date that
Mayor McLevy was marching in a
military parade and speaking from
the platform of the American
Legion.
Hardly had Liskofsky started to
speak in his own behalf when Nc
Levy rose to a point of order, clos
ing discussion without permitting
Liskofsky or anyone else to speak
in his defense. Despite these ma
chine tactics and a whole previous
campaign against Liskofsky, Nc
Levy could. barely muster the neces-
sary two-thirds majority. Liskof-
sky received A votes.
Will Appeal Case
Interviewed after the meeting
Liskofsky and other rank and file
Socialists stated they would appeal
the expulsion to the State Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist
Party and, if necessary, to the Ma
tional Executive. Liskofsky's ap-
peal will be broadcast to the locals
and membership in the State. it
was also learned. Insurgent mem
bers will make an issue Of Nc
Levy's sell-out policies and steam
roller tactics.
Rank-and-filers also expressed
bitterness at the refusal of the So
cialist officials to permit a commit
tee of relief strikers to come be-
fore the membership appealing for
support. One striker put the pre-
vailing feeling among the strikers
rather caustically when he stated:
How do you expect them to give
us a hearing when Mayor McLevy
says the most important problem
facing the Socialist Party is the
picnic next Sunday for the coming
election campaign"
Alderman Resigns From S. P.
John Sheerin, Socialist Alderman,
resigned from the Socialist Party in
protest against the withdrawing of
Welfare Department graft by the
McLevy administration. Sheerin
made no statement concerning his
future activities. Many ponder
whether his next step will be for
united struggles of local labor or
for the formation of new political
organization.
Frank Gurnat, member of the
city Executive Committee CT the
Bridgeport Socialist Party, also
quit the party, giving as his reasons
"McLevy's sell-out policies and be-
trayals." There are persistent ru-
mors of more designations in the
very near future.
