In every struggle of the organized and unorganized workers against the bosses, the A.

In New York City the Central Trades and Labor Council eppealed to the police against the striking dressmakers. The reactionary officials of Local 1, Waiters’ Union of the A.

The congress was a gathering of heads ot corporations and their pubilicty men, and was called by two mem- bers of the manufacturer’s lobby at Albany who got on the New York State Industrial Survey Commis- sion. Danger. Defend the Soviet Union. The efforts of the big bankers and trust barons to dominate the entire world brings American imperialism and its Wall Street gov- ernment into conflict with Great Britain and leads it to increased attacks egainst the colonial and semi-colonial peoples, especially in Latin-America. At ‘the same time the various imperialist powers are planning war against the Soviet Union, the workers’ fatherland. , ‘The only country where the proletariat has won its victory over its ruling class is the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, where the rking class cver eleven years ago overthrew the bourgeoisie, took power in its hands, and is now building up socialism. All workers conceivably interfere in the st pledge themselves on this May Day to fight the war danger | to defend the Soviet Union. |win K. Hart, the chairman ct the first session, it is to provide, “means whereby economic facts |known better to these industrial |leaders be brought home to public | officials.” The congress will not vote on the questions raised, but will indulge in considerable publicity | | for lower taxation on industry and against social legislation. “Life Cycle.” Virgil Jordan, chief economist of the National Industrial Conference Beard, spent a few minutes drawing | a stupid parallel between the life of an organism and that of an in- dustrial area, birth, growth, matur- ity and decline, and then tried to end on a message of hope. In_ the evening Prof, Seligman | stated that schools, garbage dis- | posal, municipal water plants, etc., \had to be paid for out of taxes and | | by inference instructed the business Full Social, Racial, Economic and Political Equality For the Oppressed Negro Race. The pians of the war lords and imperialists to plunge the work- ers into another world war must be answered by the international unity of the working class, by the unity of the white and Negro workers, of men and women workers, adult and young. May Day must be made the occasion for a redoubled fight for social, political and racial equality for the oppressed Negro race. May First must be a real demonstration of the growing class-consciousness of the American working class and their determination to free themselves from the chains of American imperialism. On May Day we must raise the slogan for the fight against class-collaboration and for class struggle. This First of May we must demonstrate our soli- darity with the oppressed colonial peoples fighting against American imperialism, in China, Nicaragua, Haiti, Mexico, Philippine Islands, ete. On this day we must raise our voices for freedom for all poli- tical and class war prisoners. Workers of New York City! The First of May is your own workers’ holiday, which has been celebrated for many years by the working class throughout the world, who in millions leave the factories and shops on this day. May Ist, | nien to fight any such measure. | 1929, should be a bigger demonstration of working class solidarity The conference is expected to last | than ever before.

Come to the huge mass May Day meeting that will take place at the Coliseum at 177th St. (near the Bronx subway station) to celebrate the achievements of | labor during the course of the past year and to prepare for greater struggles and successes ahead. | ARREST WOMEN AT PARTY. | | CHICAGO, April 15.—Forty-nine grandmothers, housewives and babes in arms were arrested by the police in the stockyards section tonight | and haled into courts under charges | of being “inmates of a disorderly house” when a “bunco party” where | the prizes were flour, cans of to- matoes, and other groceries were raided. This is the first of such out- rages and seems to be due to the} desire of the gangster allied police department to show that it is “chas- ing criminals.” Fellow-Workers! Down tools on May Day.
