newspapers of the working class
and the Negro people have made
Herndon'S release possible. OF the
thousands who streamed into the
office of the International Labor
Defense in the IS days of the Hern-
don bail campaign, the majority
mentioned the name of the Daily
Worker. OF the bills that poured
in by mail, the majority were at
tached to the appeal printed in the
Daily Worker.
THE Daily has once more given
an inspiring example of how a
working class paper leads and or
ganizes the mass struggles. The In
ternational Labor Defense, in the
name Of its staff and its entire
membership, wishes to convey its
heartiest thanks to the D ally
Worker, which played such a great
part in making possible this great
victory.
With the solidarity and assistance
of the Daily Worker we are con-
fident that we will be able to raise
the $4,000 we need to defend Hern-
don and the Scottsboro boys and
to free them finally from the
clutches Of the lynchers.
I'VE ask all members and SYM
pathizers with the International La
Dor Defense and with the Scots
boro boys and Angelo Herndon, to
support the drive Of the Daily
Worker for more readers, for a
mass circulation. In this way the
good that the Daily is doing will
be increased many-fold."

erS and working class organizations
to intensity the campaign to raise
funds to aid the fight for the free
dom of Joaquin Ordoqui, general
secretary of the Confederation Ma
cional Obrera de Cuba, the militant
trade union federation of Cuba
with more than 100000 members

Union Unity League and the IN

hundred dollars are needed imme-

Ordoqui is in Cuban dungeon,
charged with "inciting an attack

fascist Abe party staged a parade
on June II. The ABC narchers
we're attacked by followers of ex-
President Grau San Martin, an
other capitalist group, and several
were killed.
The Wall Street controlled Cuban
government is attempting to destroy
the @. N. o. G. by framing up and
getting rid of its leaders. Sailors
and marines of the ship Cuba are
also being held in dungeons. The
marines had participated in a DEM
onstration against the fascist ABC.
Workers are urged to send pro-
tests to President Mendieta and
Fulgencio Batista, chief of the Army
and Navy, at Havana, Cuba. Send
funds to the Daily Worker office,
35 E. 18th st. N. Y. City, for inn

German Bank
Sign Demand
ConsuIates BOmbarded
With Free Thaelmann'
Messages

NEW YORK. - AS weeks pass
with no news from Fascist Ger
many giving any clue to the present
fate of Ernst Thaelmann, impris-
oned Communist leader, anti-fascist
fighters in many cities are increas-
ing their protest actions.
In New Orleans, three workers
were arrested yesterday after hay
ing flung stones into the windows
of the German Consulate carrying
the message, Free Thaelmann."
In Madrid, Spain, the consulate
and the German buildings were also
stoned by workers carrying banners
which read, Death for Hitler!" and
Freedom for Thaelmann."
In the same city, the employees of
the German bank were petitioned to
sign a demand for the release of
Thaelmann. More than 100 signed,
despite the severe warnings of the
bank officials.
In Zurich, Switzerland, hundreds
of posters and leaflets were dis
tributed despite all the precautions
taken by the police and detectives
to prevent it.
Guard Nazis
AS result of these militant ac-
tons in Switzerland, the Basic
building of the German Consulate
which contains bust Of Hitler in
the window has been closely guarded
by police for several days.
The opening of the Peoples Trib-
unal," the terror court which has
been especially created to try
Thaelmann and other anti-Nazis
signals the plan of the Nazis to
attempt swift, secret trial for
Thaelmann and a swift execution.
Secret Murder
1t is the plan of the Nazis to
present the world suddenly with the
corpse of Thaelmann as an ire
vocable fact At the same time, the
secret execution of Thaelmann is
being prepared by deliberately
spread stories that he is no danger
of a death sentence.
The wild raids of the last few
weeks, the failure of all inquiries to
meet with any response on Thael-
manns condition, as we'll as the
ominous insistence of the German
Embassy at Washington that Thael-
mann faces Nazi court on charges
of treason" and that these charges
are decisive" all indicate that tbs
Fascists are approaching close tt
the day when they expect to muir
der Thaelmann.
The organization of protest ac-
tons before all German Con-
sulateS is an immediate need.
Thaelmann's life is in danger.
Meetings in the streets, before
shops, and especially at Nazi Of
fices alone can stop the hands of
the Nazi executiOners. For the
liberation of Thaelmann and all
anti-fascist prisoners!
