Minneapolis Socialist
Support Spanish
Workers in War
(By Arthur HOpkins)

Minneapolis, MIMI, Sept. g.
Local Socialists are standing
solidly behind their Spanish
brothers and sisters engaged in
a struggle to the death with the
capitalists of Spain operating
through their Fascist tools. They
are calling upon all the unions of
this vicinity to also support our
Spanish comrades by all the means
at our disposal. Socialists request
that unionists discuss the Spanish
situation at their meetings and
present resolutions addressed to
the Spanish workers supporting
their struggle. Resolutions adj
dressed to the u. S. government
protesting the stoppage of NUM-
ton shipments to- the Spanish
loyalist government are also call
ed for, pointing out that such an
action constitutes a deliberately
unfriendly act against a legally
elected sister republic. This action
of the U. S. government and other
powers in the first instance of a
nation refusing to come to the aid
Of another which is being so i'm
perilled. Funds are being asked
for also, in order that the Spanish
workers. magnificent struggle
shall not be in vain.
The Spanish workers will win
their struggle if their resources
hold out. At the present time it
is the Fascists who are the better
armed and equipped. All class
conscious workers realize that the
struggle, and that their defeat will
have repercussions all over the
world. A victory, however, will
mean that the class struggle at
home will be more ably and sue
cessfully waged with a good pros
pect for the defeat of our home
grown exploiters.
On Sept. IL Local Minneapolis
of the Socialist Party will hold al
open meeting to discuss the issues
for which Spanish workers-men
women, and children-are fighting
and dying. Vincent r. Dunno
Local Organizer, will be thu
speaker, having devoted his life
time to the study of the problem
of the world working class. Th'
meeting will be held at Prenie,
Hall at 8 p. m.

cd today in a West Side apartment.

old Tommy" was accused by police

ments of Ethiopian War Minister Ras
Mulugheta, who was reported to have
launched general attack against the
Italians last Saturday, but informa-
ton in the capital city said he was
meeting steady resistance.
AS Adds Ababa awaited word from
the north anxiously, the government
clarified confusion over the Italian
commandment Monday of a Swedish
Red Cross ambulance unit. 1t termed
an "odious lie" an Italian charge that
two Fascist aviators who fell at Dag
gah Bur were dccapitatcd
The government, which through
Emperor Halle Selassie had protested
to the League of Nations that the
Fascists employed poison gas i'll the
attack, announced in the final report
of the incident that only two SwedeS
were wounded and none killed.
Public resentment arose In Stock
holm, Sweden. Prince Karl called
meeting Of the Swedish Red Cross to
consider the case. Sweden's Red Cross
was reported reliably to take the view
that the Fascist aerial attack, direct
cd first at an American hospital at
Dessye and then at the Swedish Red
Cross unit in the south, were intend
cd for the Red Cross.
The whole question Of aerial bom~
bardment, particularly attacks OH
Red Cross medical units, appeared In
Geneva to be q likely topic for dis.
cussions by the League Council Janu-

Rome, more concerned with the
progress of the war than with the
protests over the bombardment, was
filled with reports that national con-
Germ in the war crisis conferred on
