 EZRA Workers Paid
 No complications occurred over payment of EZRA checks here last Saturday as has occurred in Wa terbury because of alertnes5 of To- cal F'ERA officials. Instead of wait ing for the checks which under this new plan are sent out from state headquarters after checking there, Christiag Groh. local EZRA official, personally went to Hart ford and secured the checks him- self for payment Saturday. So men who worked throughout the week got their pay at the proper time.
 The payroll last week amounted to 3,423.15 but is expected to be considerably less next Saturday as wages will have been cut and the personnel reduced.

Tensions Rise
AsHindenburg
E n d n e a r S

BERLIN, July 31-New political
developments doomed in Germany as
President Won Hindenburg, aged So,
lay at the point of death.
Hindenburg, elected with the sup
port of the Social-Democratic Party,
as democrat" appointed Hitler
Chancellor in 1882.
His death will introduce new ten
sions and antagonisms among the
fascist cliques disputing for COM
plete control of the State apparatus.
Having been built up as states
man above the issues of political
struggle, Hindenburg's death will
necessitate new maneuvers on the
part of the fascist parties to stem
the rise of proletarian revolution in
Germany.
Hitler has taken an airplane to
the bedside Of the Kaiser's Field
Marshal, who turned power over to
his hands.
The German press, anticipating
Hindenburg's death, is now seeking
to create an atmosphere of ma
tionsp crisis with Hitler as the
successor who will save Ger
many"

Members Vote 2 to /
to Join Communists
in United Front

NEW RK.-Sociahst Party
workers meeting in the regular
membership meeting last night in
the 21st Assembly District Branch
in Brooklyn adopted by a vote Of
more than two to one resolution
calling upon their leadership to
form a united front with all class
conscious groups and parties, ire
spectiye of all past differences to
the end that in the emergency Gre
ated by the deepening crisis and
collapse of capitalism working class
unity may be accomplished"
The membership further re-
quested that copy of this resolu-
ton be sent to the National Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist
Party recently elected at the De-
troit convention, with recommen-
dalton for early consideration and
action thereon.
This resolution was presented to
the Socialist Party branch by Mer-
rift Crawford, one of the board
members, who was prominent in the
election campaign two years ago
when Hillquit, Waldman and Solo
mon we're running for office.
Menace of Fascism
Attempts to postpone action on
this resolution we're defeated. Roger
Cornell, candidate for State Sena-
tor, favored the resolution in the
voting.
The resolution points out that it
is increasingly evident that an or
ganized campaign of terrorism and
violence is being launched against
militant workers of every kind in
the heroic efforts now being made
by American labor, organized and
unorganized, to obtain better work
ing conditions, living wage and
the recognition of its right to col
lective bargaining, and that this
growing attack upon the labor
movement Of America is clearly in
dicative of the rapid development
of an American Fascism, which. as
the bloody history of German, Ital-
ian and Austrian Fascism plainly
shows, menaces all workers alike,
irrespective of political faith or af-
filiation.

REPORTS STRIKE ENDED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 31.-The
capitalist press here reports that the
maritime workers have ended the
strike and have returned to work.
But at the time the Daily Worker
went to press it was no. learned
what decision had been arrived at
by the striking marine workers.
The fascist anti-radical drive
continues. In last-minute cam
paign speech, Gov. Frank Merriam,
candidate for the Republican NOM
nation in August, stated in San
Jose that he would protect the
rights of agricultural workers, but
that the state would continue its
war on Communists and radicals.
The honest hard working labor man
will not make unreasonab Bile de-
mands. The courts and our immi-
grafton officials will deal with the
others" After applying this test"
of radicahsm, Merriam warned
farmers they must allow workers to
organize and bargain collectively.

Socialists Join Fight
In Freeing Communist

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 81
Sam Krieger, section organizer of
the Communist Party here, who was
jailed on testimony of "Socialist"
Mayor McLevy and police officials
for his leadership in a demonstra-
ton last March, was released Sat-
urday.
The campaign to free Krieger and
Sparrow, who was released after
serving one week, involved a united
front activity of Socialist rank and
file workers and Communists.
Prominently active in the campaign
to free Krieger was Kieve Liskovsky,
Socialist Selectman, who acted as
treasurer of the committee. Many
Socialist Party workers, as well as
some Socialist city officials, made
anonymous contributions and took
part in meetings arranged by the
Free Krieger Committee"

Mass Picketing
Yesterday painters from various

More than 1000 strikers attended

Philip ZauSner stands now like a

CandenS.P.
Accepts Bid
For Unity
Socialists to Dem o n
strate With Commu-
nists Against War

CAMDEN, N. j., July 31.-In the
heart of one of the most important
war industry areas in the country,
the Socialist Party local here and
the Communist Party have ar
ranged joint demonstration
against war and fascism to be held
tomorrow.
The formation of this united
front came about as result of the
invitation sent by the Communist
Party, following the lead set by
the Central Committee of the Com
munist Party which sent an open
letter to the Executive Committee
of the Socialist Party proposing
nation wide joint actions against
the menace Of imperialist war and
fascism.
The united front meeting which
will be held at Court House Plaza
in Camden, at 4:30 pm. will have
as it's main speakers, Morris
Stempa OF the Socialist Party and
Donald Henderson of the Com
munist Party.
Accept Five Points
The five points on which the
Socialist Party accepted the pro-
posals of united front are:
/. Defense of rights of workers
to organize, strike, picket.
2. Against fascism and the at
tempt to smash workers organ
izations.
3. Demand the use of all war
funds for the unemployed.
4. Unite against all bosses war!
Defend the Soviet Union-the only
workers government!
5. For the release of all political
prisoners in Germany, Austria and
America!
Camden is in the heart of South
Jersey, area of many heavy war in
dustries such as munition plants,
chemical factories, textiles, and the
scene of terrorist drive against the
working class and the Communist
Party.
Donald Henderson, one of thc
speakers at the united front anti
war demonstrs ton, was recently ar
rested in the Seabrook Farms strike,
and menaced by lynch mob of Ku
Klux Khan "vigilantes.'
