FOSTER SPEAKS THE DAILY WORKER, NEW. YORK, TL ESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1928 | OVER S00 ATTEND (| MASS MEETING |) ATBRYANT HALL Committee E Elected to) Take Action Over 500 food ean attended | a meeting of the Conference of Cul. | inary Workers yesterday afternoon at Bryant Hall, Sixth Ave., near 41st St., to begin a concerted drive against the private “shark” employ- ment agencies now operating by the | hundreds in New York City. The meeting, which was a protest | emainst this abominable system of | fleecing workers, discussed and formulated plans to fight aeelne: | this evil. When the meeting be- gran, shortly after 3 p. m., rank and) file food workers took the floor one | jafter another to denounce the pri-| lvate employment agencies, each citing cases within its own cxperi- ence. A committee was elected by the workers present to go before the | Industrial Survey Commission, which | 27 meets this morning at the Bar As- sociation building, 42 West 44th St.,4 to present the case against the shark agencies. } A resolution was passed by the culinary workers during the course | of the meeting denouncing the evils | of the private employment agencies’ | activities and asking that the agen- cies be set up and controlled by the workers themselves. These agencies, against which the drive of the culinary workers was launched, operate all over the city, | § charging exorbitant fees from work- | ers in order to assure them of posi-{ tions in non-union jobs. These workers often do not get the jobs and are refused their money when they return to the agency. At the last meeting of the Cen- tral Trades and Labor Council the wing culinary workers, but aid was wing culinery workers, but aid was refused them by Joseph P. Ryan and the rest of the labor fakers present because the movement had not been sponsored by the A. F. of L. This | refusal to help the culinary workers | was acompanied by a threat of vio- | lence against the Communists un- Jess they “Leave their Communism cutside of these meetings.” The drive, according to the secre- tary of the Amalgamated Food Workers, which initiated the cam- paign, is-only beginning now. Other steps will be taken soon against the private employment shark agencies | by the culinary workers.

Benjamin, Alexander, Spiro. the parties of Wall Street and im-| perialism, and declared that the so- cialist party had betrayed the in- terests of the working class. ~ | The first part of the meeting was turned into a convention to nomin- ate candidates and secure signatures to place the Communist ticket on the ballot, the secretary of state | having previously thrown the ticket | off the ballot under pressure of the! capitalists acting thru the fascist) organizations, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Foster exposed the alleged “pro- gressives” in congress as agents of the capitalists. He pointed out that Norris, the Nebraska senator who has been hailed as a progressive, did not protest the action of the state authorities in throwing the Communist ticket off the ballot. The speaker declared that only Commu- nists will take advantage of the op- portunity afforded by election to) legislative office to expose the capi- talist system and carry on propa- ganda for overthrow of that sys tem. Foster declared that the Work- ers (Communist) Party is the cham- pion of the Negro workers in the United States. He said that the Party is sending speakers into the South who will expose Jim Crow- ism and lynching and call on the Negroes to join the Communist Par- ty to fight against the common ene- mies of both and the system that condemns white and black workers to a life of industrial slavery. The speaker insisted that the white workers must join wholeheartedly in the fight in behalf of the rights of the Negro masses, Foster evoked great applause when he declared that only the Com- munists and the rank and file can organize the millions of unorganized -workers in industry. The workers here in the Middle West, who are now helpless and at the mercy of the packing interests because of lack of organization, are aware that the reactionary officials of the American Federation of Labor have betrayed them. They are ready for a new forward. movement and are thru with the corrupt labor bureau- crate. « 5 | Culinary Workers Start Drive to End Baseball Magnat es Capitalize Tle UES aM ne ae EE St. Louis hopes received what seems like final blow, Sunday's game. ee when Lou Gehrig hit his second homer in Ruth is shown scoring on Gehrig's blow.
