Milwaukee S.P. and Ndzis attack Marley
Anh-Fascist Meeting with Lies, Threats

MILWAUKEE,. The Socialist
Party of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee
Nazis and the Association of Com
merce carried out a campaign OF in
timidation and SANDER against the
anti-fascist meeting Feb. 81, at which
Lord Marley, chairman of the Inter
national Committee TO Aid Victims
of German FaScisn, was the chief
speaker.
Marley is the head OF the organiza-
ton which prepared the Brown Book
Of Hitler Terror" has provided homes
in France to hundreds of orphans Of
Hitler victims, and supplies thousands
Of families of Hitler victims in Ger
many with food and clothing. He is
on nationwide tour Of America to
raise funds to support this work.
While the Nazis mailed copies of a
vicious editorial in the New York
Herald Tribune calling Marley q
"suave Bolshevist" to the members Of
the Marley reception committees, the
Socialist Party threatened expulsion
to any Of Its members who remained
on the committee.
Hoan Quits Committee.
Socialist Mayor Daniel w. Hoan,
md all the leading Socialists on the
committee suddenly resigned without
giving any reason. and Marley was
barred from broadcasting over station
WTMJ,
Despite this joint campaign Of the
Socialist Party and Nazis, Marley adj
dressed a crowd which overlooked the
Auditorium, and contributed nearly
81 900 to aid victims of Nazi fascism,
and was guest at an enthusiastic
banquet.
Although Marley is a member OF
the British Labor Party, labor whip
and deputy speaker Of the British
House Of Lords, and chairman of a
committee composed almost exclus-
lively Of nom Communists, the Social
:sts publicly declared their opposition
to him because his work is supported
by Communists as well as by many
others.
Socialists Threaten Expulsion.
The attack on the anti-faScist
united front was carried on with ru-
mors that the money collected by
Marley went to the Communist Party,
and that Marley was Communist
in disguise"

fascist leaflets at the Nazi demon
stration on Jan. 30, and therefore
seized as hostages workers who had
been released from preventive Gus

One Party Not "Extinguished"
But on Jan. 80 Hitler proclaimed
in his Reichstag speech: 1--WE have
extinguished the parties. What are
legislative actions Of centuries in
comparison with this achievement"
But the admissions of the Nazi police
themselves show this achievement
to consist obviously Of the fact that
the Nazis have ousted their bourgeois
competitors, including the social
democrats, from the poll hical stage.
But they have been unable to "extin-
guish" the sole anti-ceipitalist, anti
fascist fighting Party, the sole revo-
lutionary Party of the prole artist, the
Communist Party. And no acts of
violence which they may commit can
prevent the growth OF Communist
influence among the toiling masses.
Hitler Admits Communist
Effectiveness
Again il is Hitler hilnself who con-
firmed in his boastful Reichstag
speech, the fact Of the effectiveness
of the Communist propaganda. He
spoke of the antifascist newspapers
published in the German language
abroad, OF which millions of ccpies
are brought over the frontier. But
not long since the Safe Secret Police
was obliged to admit, in an official
notice, that the greater part Of the
Communist material circulated does
not come from abrcSd, but is pub
Lshed in Germany.

Employers Raised
Own Salaries As
Workers Pay Is Cut

WASHINGTON, D. c., FEB. PA
glimpse into the fat salaries and
bonuses Of the upper officials in
leading American corporations was
afforded today by the data laid be-
fore the Federal Trade Commission
today
1t was revealed that scores Of big
executives reaped a harvest of huge
bonuses as well as large salaries, and
that in many cases the salaries re-
ceived by these officials is now
greater, after five years of crisis and
wage cuts, than In 1929.
A partial list Of salaries follows:
G. w. Hill Of the American Tobacco
Co., manufacturers Of Camel ciga-
rettes, received a salary of s144, 900
and bonus OF $461,0 in 1929. In
1882, entering on the fourth year Of
the crisis, he received a salary Of
$4,000 and bonus of S705,000
E. G. Grace of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, shipbuilders, re-
ceived a bonus of $1,263, 900 in 1929
on salary of $4,000. Steel workers
at Bethlehem get from S450-S600 a
day.
The President of the Coca Cola Co.
got 100000 salary in 1929, which
was raised throughout the years OF
the crisis so that now it is $4,000.
The President OF r. H. Macy and
Co. Of New York received salary
OF $124,000 plus a bonus of SIS, 1000
in 1929. Despite a long series Of
wage reductions and intense speed
up instituted for the workers, Strauss
still gets S124,000 a year, and re-
ceiyed bonus Of $4,000 In 1882.

German Communists Are
Struggling Against
Fascism Daily


tEMO government can maintain itself
~ permanently by force alone"
stated Hitler in his Reichstag speech
on Jan. 30. Three days later the
world received the news Of the brutal
murder Of hostages, our four brave
comrades, Scheer, Schoenhaar, Stein
furth and Schwartz. A regime which
endeavors to persuade the world that
its rule is consolidated for centuries,
which pretends to have united the
whole people in a new conception Of
life and to have abolished all oppo-
sition, finds itself unable at the end
of g year of power to maintein itself
except by the methods of the most
savage civil war. What do these fresh
orgies Of Nazi terror mean If not
that In Germany a latent civil war
is going on, and that the rulers are
only able to suppress the growing re-
sistance Of the workers by the most
bru-a al employment Of their fascist
army?

against "monarchiSt" reaction. Hitler,
too, participated in this campaign in
g few bonbastic phrases in his
Reichstag speech. 1t has been rightly
pointed out in our press that the
main object of this demagogy is to
distract the attention of the masses
from the reactionary measures Of the
fascist government, especially from
that elimination of all capitalist re-
action, the labor law. Nevertheless,
it would be wrong to deny the ey-
istence Of monarchist currents. The
adherents Of the Hoherzollern res

circle around the President. The
