The intention of the committee was to mobilize the support of trade unions and all labor organizations of the state for the establishment of a united labor ticket in the 1926 elec-4+—————_—__—_—________. tions, as a labor group, with labor can- didates and a labor program, free and independent of other political parties.

During the shopmen’s strike, Schlei- fer was convicted, another illustration of the persecution of militant labor leaders. There are scores of other instances of the use of police and courts against labor in Connecticut. During the recent furriers’ strike scab shops operated under police pro- tection in many locations in Connecti- cut. Today scores of scab shops are op erating in New Haven, Waterbury, and other cities, while the International Ladies’ Garment Workers are striking in New York. Union pickets sent out by the striking union were arrested in several cities and ordered to leave the city. Because of these facts Connecticut has gained a reputation for being a place where unton men are threatened and scabs are protected. And during all this time the boss- controlled democratic and republican parties were in power. Injunction Menace.

The committee intended that if there was a widespread support from the organized labor candidates under the. united labor ticket of Con- necticut, Socialists Betray. However, due to two contributing factors, this, convention call has not received sufficient support in the ranks of organized labor. The. first of these factors is the attitude of the state A. F. of L. officialdom. The State Federation of Labor has maintained either a passive silence towards this progressive move or has else resisted the attempt to make the convention a success. The second of these contributing factors has been the regrettable attack by the social- ist party of Connecticut which has charged this committee as being Communistic and deceptive. This charge is of course ridiculous, The intended to | issue is not one of Communism, but a question of unifying all labor's forces for independent political ac- violations of the civil liberties of free { tion. spéech and free assemblage; by the defeat of the child labor amendment; by shifting the weight of taxation from | Place a ticket on the ballot. the employers to the workers.

C. up here at Fort Niagra, I can com- municate several interesting facts to our comrades on the outside as to conditions up at this “blessing for the working class youth.” This morning General Summerall of Governor’s Island, commander of the second area corps of the army visited us. I wasn’t much surprised when I heard his line of talk, He talked of patriotism and devotion to the coun- try which sanctioned freedom of spéech and of the press. He told us that when the time came he hoped the young citizen would be prepared to take up arms to protect the “pro- perty of Rockfeller and Morgan.” Some of the boys were quite im- pressed by his ovation for capitalism, but a few boys beside me said that they were used to hearing such hum- bug. One boy to whom I talked for a short time told me that he believed in Communism, He said that the only reason he came to Fort Niagra was because he was unable to secure a job in the city. This is true of quite many others, When I heard General Summerall speak of freedom, I said to myself “How the hell have you get the nerve to throw the old bologna like that when it is impossible for a worker to read the constitution in the streets without being arrested.” I recollected about the Passaic strikers, how they were unable to collect money in the street because of the influence of the mill-owners on the police. After Sum- merall’s speech a parade was held. It turned out to be quite a sumptuous undertaking. There were many dash- ing lieutenants who were much more interested in impressing the young ladies than in parading about the field, The authorities out here are trying to, make the fellows enlist for three BEN GOLD AND SAM DARCY SPEAK AT NEW YORK YOUTH RALLY NEW YORK CITY.— Ben Gold of the Furriers’ Union and Sam Darcy, national secretary of the Young Workers’ League will be on the speak- er’s list for the International Youth Day meeting here.

Besides the speakers an entertaining concert has been arranged. The meeting takes place on Sept. 10 at the Central Opera House, 67th street and 3rd avenue and all militants are urged to attend. Tom Lewis Speaks at Big Youth Meet LOS ANGELES, Calif, — The Young Workers League of Los An- geles is planning a huge Youth Day celebration on Sunday, Sept. 19th, at Eagle Rock Park. The program will include speakers, athletics, and danc- ing.

Speakers on International Youth Day , Anti- militarism and other important issues will address the crowd.. Tom Lewis will speak for the Workers’ Party, Wm. Schneiderman for the Young Workers League, and a representative of the Young Pioneers of Ios Angeles will also get the floor. To attract as big a crowd as possible, tickets are being sold at the unusual low admis- sion price of 25 cents at the gate.

I told him something. I said to him “the only thing that can really unite the vast majority of people who are wage-earners is the settlement of the economic problem.” The fact that I believe in a creed that everybody else believes in does not exempt me or anybody else from being exploited. He really understood my point of view but he was not courageous to stick to his real convictions. He had a good job to look after, I told him “what difference would it make if all religions were united the workers would still be robbed and underpaid.” He told me that he agreed with me up to the point where he wished me to love my fellow man but beyond that he did not approve of my manner of attaining it. I threw the peace and brotherhood davocated by the citizens’ committee including several prominent catholic priests in the Passaic strike, at the reverand faker and with that I left.
