Thus we learn that the banned
Workers Youth League and the
Peasant Youth League, the largest
and most influential youth leagues
Of Bulgaria have proclaimed
united front and have published a
joint appeal for united anti-fascist
struggle.
Despite bloody police attacks, pro-
te,S demonstrations have been car
ried out in many cities and villages
in Bulgaria. In Haskovo the wo-
men, mothers and sisters of the
murdered and indicted soldiers and
other prisoners organized a stormy
demonstration in front of the bar
racks. This demonstration could
only be broken up by arms.
The workers OF Bulgaria have also
not forgotten their prosecuted bro
theirs in Spain. Thus from the 10th
to the 10Th of December they organ
lied Solidarity Week for the VIC
tins Of Spanish Fascism.
Only through the mighty develop
ment of an international profess
movement VIII it be possible to save
the anti-fascist soldiers, sailors and
anti-war fighters in Bulgaria more
than 100 of whom have been SEN
fenced to death, and to free all i'm
priscned anti-fascists.
Just as we, the accused in the
Leipzig trial with George DimitrofT,
the great anti-fsscist fighter and
leader at the head, have been saved
by great international anti-fascist
struggle, so the victims of blood
stained Bulgarian fascism can and
must be saved.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, jan To-
Twenty unemployed workers
we're arrested here Monday For
the past two weeks the city and re-
lief authorities have resorted to
mass arrests in an attempt to stem
the growing militancy Of iobless.
Over forty arrests have taken place
at the relief stations.
Thousands of workers have been
thrown off relief since the first of
the year and are literally starving.
Disease is spreading through the
working class districts. AS a result
the workers are rallying around the
Unemployment Councils and are
carrying on a stubborn struggle for
their lives especially among the Ne
groes in the West End where the
situation is the worst possible.
The officials are attempting to
break the growing unity between
the Negro and white workers by be-
ing a little more polite to the dele
cations from the districts where the
white workers live but the Councils
have met this situation by sending
delegations wit h representatives
from all sections.
A mass demonstration has been
called by the Hamilton County I'm

fectively combat the terror and to
demand the release of Arthur
Faulkner, organizer of the North
Side Council, VIII is being held I'M

300 Attend Regional
Mass Meeting in
Aitkin


ATTKIN. MINI, Jan. I6.-Over
three hundred farmers answered the
call Of the united front County,
Wide Relief Conference and at
tended a mass meeting here. last
week, in the Aitkin County Court
House. where they passed resolu-
tons demanding that the State of-
ficials take immediate action to re-
lieve the drouth-stricken area.
Representatives Of the Farm Blu
reaU, the United Farmers Leagus
and the Farmers Holiday Associs-
ton we're part OF the conferences
that called the farmers together, to
consider action to force relief for
the farmers and to get feed to save
the livestock that are starving by
hundreds here.
Charles z. Taylor addressed the
meeting, pointing out the need for
human relief as we'll as that Of get
ting hay and feed for the starving
cattle. He brought out clearly the
crime Of the officials, who are al
lowing people and livestock to die
while they spend millions on war
preparations. The assembled FARM
ers received his speech with thun-
derous applause and an invitation
was sent to the local officials to
come and state their position on the
question of relief.
During the interval discussion was
carried on from the floor and when
the county officials took the plat
form questions were fired at them
from ell parts Of the hall. The
county officials produced CORE
spondence that had been carried on
between them and the state relief
officials. showing that they had at
tempted to get Aitkin County rec
ognized as a primary drouth area
but had been refused or ignored by
the state officials.
Governor Floyd B. Olson, Con-
gresham Harold Knutson and
Congressman Magnus johnson had
all been invited to attend the meet
ing, but Olson and Knutson sent
their regrets, while johnson did not
even reply. A telegram was sent
to the Governor demanding that he
declare an embargo on the ship
ment of hay out of Aitkin County
until the needs Of the resident
farmers have been met, and that
he declare the county as a primary
drouth area so that necessary feed
can be secured out of Federal APP
preparations.
Mrs. Fred Natus Of Lawler and
L. P. Jensen Of Giese, both of whom
were active in organizing the meet
ing, took the floor time after time
to expose the inadequate relief that
was being distributed, and have
been in the forefront of the strug-
gle of the farmers at all times. Mrs,
Natus, without telephone or car. or
ganized six township, meetings and
went on foot to attend them.
The meeting ended with the
farmers more determined than ever
to force the relief officials 10 rec
ognize their demands and to carfg
the word back to their respectivsl
townships.
