May Day is the day of the union of the workers of the world! ‘This year, more than ever, the unity of the working class is needed. In Passaic, where thousands of workers @re trying to resist wage cuts and to fight for a decent standard of living, they are met with police clubbing and ‘rrests. Workers thruout the United States meet with injunctions on all ‘sides whenever they step forWard in , defense of their interests. The last year has seen the growth , of reaction the tightening of the grip of naked imperialism upon the toiling ‘ masses thruout the world; arrests and imprisonment of thousands of work- ers in fascist-ridden Italy, Poland, ‘Czecho-Slovakia, France, England and the United States, May Day Demands. May Day is the day of demonstra- tions against international imperial- ‘dsm, against wage cuts, open shop drives, anti-strike legislation, against ‘the attempt to deport foreign-born workers. It is a day when the work- fing class expresses its solidarity for its most vital needs; a world trade anion unity, for recognition and de fense of the soviet union, for the or- ganization. of unorganized workers, for @ united labor ticket and for a labor party to express the needs of the ‘workers, The condition of the working class ‘fm the United States demands the | greater solidarity of the workers. The growing brutality of the capitalist lass, the imperialist rivalry, the men- ace of a new world war, demands that this year the working class drop their tolls, come out from their. factories and join together in united action to demand a solution of the problems troubling the working class—to make the capitalist class understand that the working class will not submit eas- ily to increased exploitation and op- pression, The Conference. The provisional labor May Day com- mittee calls upon all organizations to Participate in a conference to ‘plan one united demonstration of all work- ing-class organizations on this inter- national labor holiday.

Comrade Leslie Morris represented the district committee, and spoke to the meeting upon the results of the Chicago conference and the general tasks of reorganization. Gary, with its 25,000 steel workers, presents a wonderful field for nucleus work, The party is confronted with this task there, and as a result of reor- ganization consists of two nuclei, one in the steel mills amd the other a street nucleus. Comrade Morris Yduoned on all phases of reorganization work, parti- cularly dealing with the establish- ment of real, functioning shop nuclei. Party campaign work, foreign-born council activity, shop * “papers, fune- tioning work were alt’ ‘submitted and discussed. Language difficulties ahd inexperi- enee at present hampéfs the work. These will gradually bé"6¥ercome as a result of increased organizational experience and ability! It was reported that attendance at nuclei meetings was not as good as could be wished, and that until recently an active exe- cutive. committee had failed to mate- rialize. The first task of the new exe- cutive will be to supervise the issuing of another shop paper. *‘Already one copy has been issued, called the Hot Ingot. This must and will be followed up by further issues, The members are active in I. L. D. work, and will proceed to do all pos- sible to organize a council for the protection of foreign-born workers.

The drivers are angry and can pring facts to give the lie to many charges made against them but they lack organization to give their point of view publicity. Those of them who have had labor union experience and are trying to encourage organization among the drivers come to Federated Press for aid in answering the campaign of falsehoods. Through Taxi Weekly, a paper ap- pealing to the drivers’ and particular- ly to independent cab owners who are most harassed by the present police and newspaper offensive, some gross errors are disproved. The newspaper statements from police records are given better proportion when the weekly shows that the thousand hack ordinance violations covered a three month period, 18,000 cabs and 35,000 drivers and 18,000,000 riders. The newspaper emphasis gives the false inipression that the majority” of taxi- cab drivers are criminals instead of being hard working men—and a few women. Hard Work, Taxi drivers confirm the champion- ing weekly’s statement that, “The gen- eral public is not.aware of the strug- gle that the average td€icab driver must make in order to get a living from his job... After hours of driving in near zero weather, the strain coup- led with the cold, becomes unbear- able.” Taxi men suffer from colds, frozen feet and hands, constipation and other health difficulties from their jobs, |” Facts favorable to taxi drivers are ignored by the attacking newspapers. Only one driver was found charged with robbing a passenger, but the Papers never mentioned that as many as 50 holdups of taxi men have been reported in one week. Drivers are robbed of earnings and of their cabs. One driver, Samuel Kitgman, was kill- ed when he refused to help two rob- bers escape. Other cabmen are col- lecting a fund for his widow and chil- dren while attacking newspapers reap their return in anti-union Yellow Cab corporation advertising. Taxi drivers complain that police regulations force them to aceept any fare if they slow up, indicating that no previous call has preference, The driver cannot be sure that he is not getting a drunken and abusive custom- er or perhaps a criminal one. The driver has to post a card giving his number and photo so that he can easily be reported by any customer— or framed-up. If this card is lost or stolen, the driver forfeits his right to work for 10 days. ‘Must Bribe Cops. Taxi drivers want the licensing de- partment made independent of police control again. At present, they claim, every patrolman can act as inspector and demand his bit of graft on pain of CHICAGO MAY DAY COMMITTEE MEETS FRIDAY.

Lincoln St. Delegates from all party nuclei are expected ti from any working ‘lass organization are Invited, °” ; reporting the driver for a petty or imagined offense. Reporting means license-suspension and inability to earn a living for the time; so that drivers give the patrolman a ride and slip something soothing into his hand, they confess, Individual cab owners have two or- ganizations, the Amalgamated Taxi Association (the larger) and Independ- ent Taxi Owners Association, which | takes in drivers hired by others, furn- _Jishes legal, advice and insurance, but there is no active union of cabmen. Local 643, Taxi and Limousine Chauf- feurs Union, whose head was also in charge of the funeral drivers’ union, has done little to organize cab drivers since police broke up its meeting last year.

He has been pleading in vain for the past ten years for such an investigation, “The infant morality of Porto Rico,” he says, “by reason of the lack of milk and excessive poverty, is about three times more than pnt prevailing in the United Stafes.

Press. Of the three important sanitary pot- tery works in the United States, Chi- cago has the worst in point of hours and wages. The other two are union- ized. The Chicago Pottery Company at 1924 Clybourn Ave., is kept jeal- ously and painstakingly open shop. The 12-hour day is common in most of its departments. The 7-day week is not unusual. A majority. of the 200 employes get between 38 4nd 50 cents an hour. Company Flooded wif Orders. The company is flo “with orders for wash bowls and toiléts!of vitreous china and cannot keep) up! with them in spite of the long holirs and 7-day week. Its prosperity jot disputed, yet men who have employed there for 7 to 8 years are stil] getting 45 cents an hour. About a third of the 200 workers are Negroes#selected for their strength. There 40 Italians and the rest are Polisl,"German and some native-born. A stringent “examination is made when a man asks for a’fob: The sup- erintendent is particiilarfy anxious to know where you workedlast and why you quit. If you say you are an Illi- nois miner laid off by the great wave of shutdowns you are out of luck. A miner is a union man and they don’t want that kind of labors They look at your hands to see if «they are cal- loused. They feel your muscle to see how much work you can put out. They ask you if you ever belonged to any union. a Craftsmen Wretchedly Paid. Craftsmen are paid just as wretch- edly as other labor in the plant. The head carpenter works 10 hours a day for $27.50 a week, The stationary fire- man works 12 hours and Sundays for 40 cents an hour,~drawing down $39.60 for an 84-hour week. The ma- chinist works 10 hours at 40 cents. Common ‘labor gets 35 cents to 45 cents. The bricklayer seems to be the aristocrat of this group with 55 cents an hour for 11 to 13 hours a day, 7 fays a week. The pottery workers. are on piece- work, The kiln men get 69 cents apiece for toilets, making around $7 in a 10 to 12-hour day.:. For other Pieces, known as bisques, tanks, links and lavoratories the rate varies but comes out to the same per day as the toilet makers. The clay, workers get around $6 a day piecework. Men un- loading coal from railroad cars aver- age 33 cents an hour, ROBERT DUNN TO SPEAK ON COMPANY UNIONS AT BRONX FORUM ON SUNDAY NEW YORK, April {—The Bronx Workers’ Forum has secured Robert Dunn for speaker, S y evening, April 4, at 8 o'clock, ides being a writer of note on labor problems, ive in defend- for instance He is assist- ant director of the Civil Liberties Union, Dunn's subject will be “Com- pany Unienism,” This question is becoming more and more vital as it is a direct menace to the organized labor move- ment, Together with the labor bureaucracy and the labor spy, the company union is one of the strong- est weapons in the hands of the em- ployers in their open si! drives.

In a resolution passed by the local at its last meeting Frank Farrington and other officials of District No, 12 of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica were sharply condemned for their failure to act in behalf of the Zeigler miners. The resolution follows: Whereas, the eight loyal and active members of the United Mine Workers of Zeigler are now facing a prison sen- tence from one to fourteen years on a, frame-up charge of conspiracy and at- tempt to murder; Whereas, this frame-up on militant union miners is the result of their ef- forts to maintain their working condi- tions and to build the U. M. W. ever stronger and because these eight Zeig- ler miners are the victims jointly of the coal operators and the ku klux klan; Score Farrington, Whereas, Frank Farrington and the union officials of District 12 have failed to enlist the moral and financial support of the unions thru America, thereby endangering the entire exist- ence of the American trade union movement by the open-shoppers’ at- tacks; Therefore be it resolved, the mem- bers of local union 705 call upon Pres- ident Farrington and the whole dis- trict executive board to support the Zeigler miners’ defense and use all the resources of the united mine work- ers of this district in their behalf, and Be it further resolved, that we, mem- bers of local union 705, hereby pledge our moral support to the International Labor Defense and the Frank county defense committee and to do all pos- sible to prevent the railroading of our brothers to prison, and further that a copy of this resolution be sent to the International Labor Defense and the labor press for publication, (Signed) Thomas Gemmel, Pres.

Trumbull at Big Mass Meeting NEW YORK, April 1.—Walter Trum- bull, released from Alcatraz prison, to-day? | hooligana, nen); ae where he served one year for his work- ing-class activities in Hawaii while a soldier in the United States army, will be welcomed at a mass meeting on Sunday afternoon, April 25, at the Central Opera House, New York City, under the auspices of the International Labor Defense, New York section, When Walter Trumbull, together with his comrade, Paul Crouch, who still has two more years to serve, realized the miserable conditions un- der which the Philippine slave is forced to live, they felt it their duty to organize in behalf of the Hawaiian workers. They were arrested and court-mar- tialed to 26 to 40 years. Due to a storm of protest which followed, these sentences were reduced to one and three years. Trumbull has just completed his term and is now touring the country, bringing a message from Paul Crouch. New Yorkers should turn out en masse to welcome Walter Trumbull, who ought to get the reception he de- serves, Fascists Fear Plots Which are Directed to Their Fall From Abroad (Special to The Daily Worker) PARIS, April 1 — The fascist press is much wrought up over what it calls the “machinations” of anti-fascist groups #broad, particularly in Spain, Anti-fascist Italians living in France, according to these allegations, are at the bottom of the trouble. They want to create a united front against the two dictators, Primo de Rivera of Spain\end Mussolini of Italy. Agents of these groups have met in Catalonia and Bilboa with the leaders of the Spanish, including the Cattalonia autonomists. The movement is being directed by the Corriere Degli Italiani, an anti- fascist daily printed in Paris by de- portees and expelled Italians. It has arranged for a conference at Nice, France, which the fascisti declare will be broken up with force, if need be, Urge Armed Revolt. Meanwhile the Italian fascists have not been idle, They have issued a public appeal to their French repre- sentative, Valois, to lead an armed re- volt against the Briand cabinet, assur- ing him that the Communists an other groups will flee at the first onset. They depict a union of fascist France and Ital¥ against the rising power of Germany. The hot reception accorded to the fascists Sunday when they tried rough-house tacticd in the election has perceptibly cooled the ardor of the }available man-power is the secret am- CONDUCTED - BY TH CAPITALIST SPORTS—AN ADJUNCT OF CAPITALIST MILITARISM By PAUL KLINE. MERICAN imperialism, ever since the signing of the armistice has} been consciously and systematically ) preparing for the next world war./ A pyramiding military budget is one} side of this process of preparation. Multiplying institutions and means for) the military training of the youth is the other, Complete Prussianization of all} bition of the capitalists and their hired military agents and propagand- ists. American traditions of democ- racy, altho it renders inexpedient the direct realization of this thru com- pulsory military training, nevertheless paves the way, just as it paved the way for our “democratic” entry into the var, for a disguised and camou- flaged system of militarization which is doubly dangerous to the’ working class because it is both deceptive and effective. The Citizens’ Military Training Camps, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, the National 'Guard and the Boy Scouts are examples of the “democratic” means which. Amert- can capitalism is using to prepare its youth for its war. But these organizations do not and cannot achieve the mass results that the bourgeoisie are after; they can- not, begin to train and prepare the millions upon millions of men who will compose the colossal armies that American imperialism will throw into the next slaughter. In fact leading militarists have openly acknowledged that the C. M. T. C., the National Guard and the R. O. T. C. are merely counted on to furnish the officers and petty officers of America’s forces in the coming war. The men turned out by these institutions are to be used as instructors in time of “emergency.” Neutral Sports? Are then the bourgeosie resting content with this? Are they making no organized effort to reach and train the youth outside of these organiza, tions? Are they satisfied to post- pone the training of a mass army un- til war is actually declared? Such is far from, being the case. There is in existence an organization, mational in scope and comprising millions of members which the capitalist class is using for the mass militarization of the youth, It is perfectly adopted to the needs of the capitalist class and its paid militarists in their attempts at the ideological and physical prep- aration of the youth for war, It is ostensibly non-militaristic and therefore, democratic in character. On its executive council sit together, leading industrial and military fig- ures, Its name is the National Ama- teur Athletic Union, and to it are at filiated such mass organizations ast the Y. M. C. A, the Girl Soouta of America, the Boy Scouts of America, the American Legion, the U. 8, Army, the U. S. Navy, the Jewish Welfare Board, the National Rifle Association, the American Gymnastic Union, the American Physical Education Associa tion, the United States Golf Associae tion, the United States Lawn Tennis Association, the Playgrounds and Re creation Association, the Oamp Wire Association, etc., etc. In addition to these national om ganizations, there are affillated hun- Mreds of local athletic associations and independent. clubs. The Ama teur Athletic Union exercises heme mony over practically every organ- ized phase of amateur sports In Am- erica, Thus the capitalist class, thra its control of this organization is able to supervise and direct the sports ac- tivities of the American youth. How it ‘is using this control to conduct an extensive and powerful, but under- ground campaign to prepare the youth for war, will be dealt with in subse- quent articles.

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH FIRST WOODWORKERS’ YOUTH CONGRESS IN AUSTRIA VIENNA, Austria—The first Wood- workers’ Youth Conference called by the Woodworkers Union was held on Jan, 24, The resolution which was adopted demanded: an apprentice’s senate in trade courts, apprentices’ commissions, the introduction of a six-month wage term, i. e. that an apprentice upon serving his time must be employed by the master an addi- tional six months, the re-institution of apprenticeship inspectors And the adaption of apprentice liability pay- ments to the cost of living, A pro- test resolution was adopted against the Tischer Co-operatives’ decision to increase the apprenticeship period from three to three and one-half years. The Communist motions directed against the prolongation of the com- pulsory school period and for the is- sue of unemployment aid to the young unemployed workers, as. well as a protest against the attitude of the so- cial democratic municipality of Vien- na in lengthening the teachers work day were rejected. On the other hand a Communist motion demanding that every means, including the joint strike of apprentices and workers, be employed to enforce the demands of the young woodworkers, was referred by the congress to the executive for carrying out it out.

(International All-Trade Union League) congress held on the end of January adopted a resolution on the youth question containing the follow- ing: “The congress emphasizes the ne- cessity of organizing the youth in the various local groups jointly with the adult workers by means of which the youth must be won for practical or- ganization work. In order to afd the entrance of the young workers and apprentices into the trade union or- ganizations the I. V.
