This ard, however, consisted of support- | ers of the old machine, which had been voted out of office, and the a sed members of the committee re: d to stand trial before them. For | reason it is reported that five of the committee have been expelled, but no official notice has been re- ceived by any of those supposedly expelled so far. | Groupings For a long period of time there has been bitter fighting going on in the Carpenters’ Union, and it was cli- maxed by the complete defeat of the old officers and business agents. This fight was led by a “reform” ele- ment known as “The Vigilance Com- mittee,” but it soon became evident at there would be no material hange effected unless the rank and ile compelled it. The committee of Local 1782, which had for its purpose the task of electing Felder over the, | group of Vigilants, decided to issue a. rcular exposing the fakers and set- ting forth a program of policy and demands for the industry. Some of tive capacity and pi of | future expansion of each plant now engaged in the manufacture of items needed by fighting troops, such as clothing, shoes, food sup- plies and munitions. All establish- ments of this nature are being vi ited, their executivescalled into con-| ference, and then classified into dis- tricts to prevent any ambiguity of production should the need arise. | “The various branches of the | army and navy have drawn up their| requirements cov: over 600,000 | theoretical calculations as to toe| items, the amount of each based on size of the combatant element andj the probable duration of the war. To prevent unnecessary transporta- tion costs, the factories nearest the Taw materials will be given prefer- _ ence. In addition concerns under| government contract will receive a/ priority of fuel and railroad facili- ties, and will also be prevented} from the manufacture of non-essen- | tials in so far as there no re- sultant pressure on the civilian pop- ulation. In connection with the whole pro- gram there has been instituted at Washington the Industrial War Col- lege, attended by officers of higher | yanks in all the branches. Gradu-| ates are thoroughly capable of tak-| ing their place in any production district to arbitrate on priority dis- putes, to settle over-lapping of or-| ders and in general to carry on the executive details of the scheme when the occasion arrives.” PAGE TWO n in the orga ec u of the T. U. U. L. for the building industry, and the action of the fakers to immediately rule Felder off the ballot. Now, with the elections over and the new machine having taken over the reins, there is not much to hope or from the “Vigilants,” who seem bent on keeping the name as a watchword for themselves, unless we | sufficient pressure is brought to bear yy the rank and file. Mass Meeting This the members of Local 1782 | night was a step in the direction of bringing such pressure to bear. By unanimous vote the local decided to call a mass meeting of the 4,000 and odd carpenters of Essex County and vicinity, at which the whole story of the intrigue, graft and betrayals by the Hutchison fakers and the denial by this clique of the local’s right to run its own candidates for business agent will be told. The T.U.U. lew Jersey section, | has repeated: advised militant action and has offered to lead the | struggle long before now, but it was not until one stunt after the other was pulled by the machine that the die-hard type of “Honest Union Men” were convinced that they would have to fight.

GRAY'S FUNERAL to See Body CHICAGO, Sept. ‘The mass funeral for Mitchell Gray, 29-year- old Negro unemployed worker, mur- dered last Saturday by a Negro policeman, has been postponed to next Tuesday in order to permit his mother to be present. His mother is now rushing here from Texas. She has telegraphed friends of the mur- dered worker here urgently asking postponement of the funeral in order that she may take a last look at the body of her son. The march on the City Hall, planned as a working-class protest against the increasing murders of workers and for the demand for social insurance for the thousands of unemployed in this city who are actually suffering .the pangs of starvation, has also been postponed for Tuesday, and will take place di- rectly after the funeral. In the meantime, a wave of mass anger is sweeping the Negro work- ing-class section against Congress- man Oscar De Priest following the | expose by the American Negro Labor Congress which directly links the Negro bourgeois misleader with the bosses’ terror against the Negro workers. De Priest, while silent on lynching and unemployment, has been busy denouncing Negro workers in the revolutionary movement, as well as helping the bosses in their instiga- tion of attacks on the foreign-born workers, attacks identical with their attacks against the Negro workers, Workers Patronize D.

The F. S. U. calls upon the work- ers in the shops and factories to send international solidarity greet- ings through the Red Album. Each city will have its own page Which in addition to listing the names of the militant workers will give a short history of the industrial strug- gle of the workers in that vicinity. To defray the expenses, the work- ers signing will pay a fee of 25 cents, and 10 cents for unemployed. After all expenses are deducted the balance will be used for the pur- chase of a tract or to be sent to the Soviet Union with the F. S. U. dele- gation that will go to the U. S. S. R. next May. Eyes!

The proposal for eight hours as‘a day's work is made, together with the proposal to cut wages in half and to serve three ‘patients instead of one. This also means that a number of nurses will be discharged. The League points out, declaring: “This proposal cannot be accepted. We must organize ourselves at once and discuss our demands against the wage cuts and speed-up. “An officer of the Medical and Chemical Workers’ Industrial League will speak at the meeting. “All nurses should attend the meet- | ing.” NORTHWESTERN RR LAYS OFF 3,000 Have Police on Hand to Quell Protest CHICAGO, Sept. 22—On Wednes- day, Septembet 17, the North-West- ern Railroad yards announced a “temporary” layoff for a period of six weeks for its three thousand workers. And so in one day three thousand workers were added to the unemployed of Chicago. ‘The Railroad Workers’ Industrial League sent a committee to the shop to distribute leaflets inviting these workers to a mass meeting. The po- | lice were there, called by the assis- tant superintendent, J. W. Schroll, Who evidently feared the temper of the three thousand workers to be discharged. Nine workers were ar- rested. When the International Labor De- fense tried to secure the release of these nine workers, who were held on a charge of distributing leaflets, the police placed fresh charges against them. Three of the workers arrested were women. They were held on two charges: Disorderly conduct (bail $500), and distribution of leaflets (bail $400). The six men were held for distribution of leaflets (bail 3400) and vagrancy (bail $1,500). changed to inciting to riot and the bail raised to $1,000 each, on the basis of a picture in Labor Unity of the great oil strike that occurred fifteen years ago.

U. U. L. campaign, has sent the following letter: “Dear Comrade Foster: “I am instructed by the General Shop Council of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union of New York to in- form you that all delegates fully agree with your letter on the impor- tance of the $100,000 Organize and Strike Fund. Ten shops have already con- tributed over $1,000, and our quota of $4,000 for New York food workers will be fully attained. More than ever do we see the correet line of the T. U. U. L,, and realize the role of the A. F. of L. and Amalgamated Food Workers as a direct. agent of the boss class against the interests of the workers. The last three in- junctions against the food workers were all issued by business agents of the A. F. of L. and A. & W. locals, and the main charges were that we are disturbing the harmonious rela- tionship between the bosses and their so-called ‘Union.’ “These fakers state clearly that it | took many years of effort to reach this agreement with the bosses. We are proud of these accusations, and we are starting with this Organize and Strike Fund, a real campaign among all food workers to smash those company unions and build un- der the leadership of the-T..U. U. L. a fighting union in the interests of the workers. “Our &reetings to you can only be the pledge that we will work twice as hard while you, Comrade Amter, Minor amd Raymond, are taken from our ranks, and that we will organize to the extent that the capitalist class will not dare to repeat such vicious frame-ups.” Advertise your Union Meetings here.

Helping wage cuts is just one of his usual functions for the bosses. Faking unemploy- ment figures is a special task he has undertaken during the present’ crisis. The latest quirk of this fascist is to announce that the American Federa- tion of Labor figures on unemploy- ment dropped one per cent in Sep- tember. In August, Green also said unemployment dropped—it was one- tenth of one per cent then. What did the figures of the Federal Reserve Bank show for the same period? The Federal Reserve Bulle- tin for September said: ctory employment and wage payments de- creased further” during July and August, and “were at the lowest level since 1922.” These boss Mars don’t hitch in their “prosperity” propa- ganda. There is something very fishy about Green’s dope anyway. He says build- ing trades improved tn employment by one per cent. The Dodge Cor- poration, leading authorities in this line, says building activity dropped 16 per cent during August. The drop continued in September. Green says that the number of unemployed fell from 39 to 38 per cent. Liés, nothing but lies! In some of the details of the Green statement we find the following: In the metal trades, representing im- portant basic industries, unemploy- ment increased from 20 to 23 per cent. It was 7 per cent in 1929. There was a slight increase in the jobless in the printing trades. Green took occasion, when he issued these figures, to help his masters along by this usual crap— ‘he figures indicate improvement in the business situation, at least sea~ sonally.” On the same day the Journal of Commerce carried a story from Washington with this headline: “In- dustrial Output Off Usual Trend.” “Seasonal Increase Fails to Appear— Employment, Payrolls Decline.” Doesn't exactly jibe with Green's baloney. Furthermore, while the capitalist press talks of an increase of 2 per cent in steel output, the New York Times in analyzing this “increase,” shows in its seasonally adjusted index that steel production shows “a slight recession to the level of three weeks ago, the current figure being 83.6, as | compared with 84.6 for the week ended September 13.” And commenting on this fact the financial editor of the Times adds: “No change of importance in the business panorama, was shown by the mid-week surveys of the steel and railway industries.” In short, the deép crisis still continues with not the slightest signs of upturn. ‘The plain conclusion from the facts —doctored to conform to Hoover's optimism as they are—is that Green has deliberately faked the unemploy- ment figures of the A. F. of L. to fool the workers and to keep them from fighting for unemployment in- surance, “hone: Stuyvesant 3816 John’s Restaurant SPECIALTY: ITALIAN DISHES A place with atmosphere where all radicals meet 02 E.12th St. New York HEALTH FOOD | Vegetarian RESTAURANT 1600 MADISON AVE.
