Los Angeles Delegation
Picket Nazi Consulate

LOS ANGELES, July Is CBy MaiD
Wearing Free Thaelmann" signs
pinned to their clothing, a picket
ing delegation of 20 workers pa
raded seven blocks from the office
of the International Labor Defense
to the German Consulate at noon
today.
This is German territory. You
amt got no business here was the
greeting of a plainclothes cop.
If this is German territory
what are you doing here" responded
a spokesman, who then read three
resolutions for three organizations
represented in the delegation, the
I. L. D., the Relief Workers Pro
tective Union and the Young Com
munist League. The resolutions
demanded freedom for Ernst Thael-
mann and 10000 other anti
fascists imprisoned in fascist tor
ture camps and prisons of Nazi
Germany. The group picketed the
Consulate for one hour.

him that grooming represented a
sublime type of artistry, like opera
singing or yodeling, and he. being a
simple person, believed them.
IT should be hoped that Max's
1 present venture will be like the
pictures made by other ring champ
ions-such as Benny Leonard, Jack
Dempsey or Jess Willard, for in
stance. These were the type of
pictures that prizefighters are nat
urally suited for They require a
profound understanding of the
depths of dramatic intensity. Usual
ly they were for fifteen episodes.
AT any rate, Hollywood will gain
n what the prize-ring has lost.
The fact that Mr.. Baer will not
fight anymore this season will I'M
doubtedly shiver the timbers of the
faithful followers of that innocent
sport. The departure of Mr.. Baer
is not what they have been led
to expect by the romantic tales
in the newspapers about the new
life in boxing. 1t will be remem-
bered that when Mr.. Baer fought
Mr.. Camera million dollar gates
were predicted again and the ticket
scalpers took up their old stands in
the alleys. But now it seems, just
as the clairvoyant who watches over
the customers of the Daily Worker,
none other than the author of this
essay, prophesied, that there is no
mutton worthwhile for Mr.. Baer.
We have proof of this in the pros
poets who are being advanced -
Signor Camera, about whom the
most impressionable can no longer
have doubts, Steve Hamas, Art
Lasky, Max Schmeling, who is Bit
ing the dust these days with as
tonishing ferocity, and Walter
Neusel, whom Hitler loves. (Mr.
Hitler also likes Herr Schmeling,
who taught him few pointers in
the manly art.)
This is about as unworthy a crew
for the box-office as any mortal
ever heard of. 1t is a surety that
few attempts will be made to build

Sales of Daily

Forty New Stands in
Cleveland Carrying
Paper as Drive Gains

Six hundred papers a day is the
increase in Daily Worker sales in

when one considers that the Red
Builders in that city are all new.
Up to this week, however, Chicago
was behind it's quota, due to the loss
of old readers, but now it is IL per
cent up on its quota Chicago must
see to it, however, that old readers
are not lost. Not only is it essen

save perhaps Mr. Hamas who is
on the building-up machine now,
But it will take just year to roll
up the appropriate number of vic
tories for Mr.. Hamas, if he is the
lucky number - and Romeo Baer
has gone for year.
TO portray the moribund state of
l once proud profession we
have, Furthermore, the present
screams of joy over and biographies
of Mr. jeff Dickson, the English
promoter, who has just arrived on
our shores. Columns are being given
over to Mr.. Dixon's offer of 100000
to Signor Camera for fight in
Europe. Who can doubt the sincerity
of everybody concerned?
Then again as proof of the happy
condition of boxing we have the
attemps to make something out of
Emo Fiermonte, the light-heavy-
weight society figure. Or the con-
slant talk about changes in Madi-
son Square Garden. We have as
proof, Furthermore, the frantic eff
forts that were made to rematch
Jimmy McLarnin and Barney Ross.
Mr.. Ross and Mr. McLarnin dis
appointed many expectations in
their last encounter, yet the re-
matching has been heralded as
though it were like the return fight
between Leonard and Tender. In
other days, when the lightweight
division was naughty with the
Leonards and Morans, the Tenders
and Whites, the Mandells and Ter
ries, and the welterweight division
had walkers, Goldsteins, Hudkins,
and Shades, return bout between
these two, one utterly yanquished,
would not have been necessary.
Now, the good ones are retired and
the lightweights and welterweights
in present harness seem, nearly all,
entirely beyond the pale.
Who can help weeping?

broken as the company tried to
operate with strike-breakers.
N. r. A. Heads Strikebreakers
The chief force in breaking the
general strike was the N. R. A.,
headed by General johnson.
He used one of the oldest tricks
of the open shop employers-by
throwing out the hint that the en-
ployers will make concessions after
the strikers return to work which
they would not make during the
course of the strike.
The general, with military STRAIT
egg, worked out his strike breaking
scheme quite effectively. He waited
until the tension of the strike was
at its height. On the third day
he arrived on the scene. Then he
delivered his bitter anti-labor in
vective, calling for pogrom against
Communists and aggressive union
lists, in which he demanded that
the general strike be smashed. At
almost the same hour, mobs or
ganized and melted by the ruling
class, police and militia went through
the San Francisco streets, sacking
the offices of the Communist Party,
printing plants and halls of the
strikers and soup kitchens of the
longShoremen's union.
Aggressive Strikers Jailed
This accomplished two things: it
jailed the most aggressive strikers
and it served notice to the unions
what would happen to them unless
they gave up the strike. This
method was accompanied and fol-
lowed by wide extension of mill
tafy maneuvers and the threat of
declaration of martial law.
In the midst of this reign of fas-
cist terror, the General held out the
bait to the reactionary labor lead
erS:
"Agree to submit all differences
to arbitration of the Presidents
Board and call off the general
strike" he said in effect. The re-
dictionary union leaders leaped to
the crack of the Generals whip
and called off the strike.
The same scheme is now being
put into operation, with some
slight alterations, in an attempt to
herd the marine workers back to
work without winning one of their
demands.
The Communist Party is urging
the maritime strikers to vote against
the arbitration plan and to demand
that negotiations be carried on be-
tween the strikers and the shipown-
ers while the men are out on strike.

Act for Fund
BY I. AMTER,
National Secretary National Unem-
pIoyment Councils

He sits in Fulton Towers Prison
IN Atlanta, undaunted by the SEN
tence of 18 to 20 years on the
Dhain-gang, unterTified by the
daily torture inflicted on him al
ready for two years-to break his
spirit.
Have the American workers had
a more courageous fighter than
young Angelo Herndon, the Negro
Communist, who committed the
"vile crime" Of leading white and
Negro workers of Atlanta to the
city hall for relief? None more
courageous-a young Dimitrof, and
like him he told the fascist Georgia
court that he was proud to be a
member of the vanguard Of the
working class.
,,.r. The capitalists fear young Hern-
don. this fearless champion of Ne
gro emancipation, of the rights OF
the working class. That is why
they want to send him to the
torture and death of the chain
gang even before the U. S. Sup
RENE Court decides on his gull"
or "guiltlessness."
The American workers, white and
Negro, admire him-but he re-
mains in the torture chamber, see
ing men go to their execution just
as do the Scottsboro boys.
We won victory when we
forced the capitalist lynch court
to grant bail. But this victory
may be torn out of our hands I'M
less YOU who read these lines,
who know this case, ACT WITH
OUT DELAY.
Fifteen thousand dollars must be
raised for bail Immediately! You
haven't $4,000. You have a dollar.
Loan dollars, ten dollars. You can
collect funds in your shop or mine,
in your union, club, vets post,
fraternal lodge. Every Unem-
pIoyed Council can and should
work actively to collect these funds.
Every dollar you send for bail will
be vouched for by certificate is
sued by the International Labor
Defense. 1t is NOT donation
but a loan which will positively
be returned.
You want Herndon out-he waits
for. Won tn take him out of the
Towers. There is no time to be
lost. Delay may mean that young
Herndon will go to the chain gang
and then only death may release
him.
ACT NOW - TODAY! Send
your funds to the International
Labor Defense, Room 430, 80 East

turn Of all monies and Liberty

from the Georgia chain gang, only
S1,594 of the required $4,000 bond
had been received by the ma

posted by August 3, the Georgia
ruling class will rush HerndOn to
death on the chain gang. Every

is urged to come to HerndOn's
rescue at once with loans of cash
and Liberty Bonds. Delay means
murder for Herndon on the chain
gang.
