MAINTENANCE MEN Janitors Must Build Own Union (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK.—The Building Ser- viee Employees International Union (A, Feet L.), Locals 51, 32 and 71, in conjunction with some Tammany politicians, have been lobbying in the city government for the past few years for an ordinance to license the 100,000 or more superintendents or janitors. The proposed ordinance would require all janitors of apart- ments or buildings with low pressure boilers to pay $5 for examination by @ special bogrd as to their fitness, whether or,not they pass and pay an additional $5 for the certificate. This board would be called the “Examining Board of Superinten- dents and Janitors” and would con- sist of three members of a janitors’ organization, two city officials, a real estate representative, one from the department of health and one from the building department. All would be appointed by the mayor. The fees derived from this scheme woyld amount to $1,000,000 per year. There,.was a hearing on this bill Fri- day, Nov. 14, in City Hall. It was opposed by the real estate interests and was supported by Miss Agnes Craig, counsel for the Bronx Council of Tenants’ League, who sonsored it and turned it over to Alderman Cur- ley, cmd by representatives of the unions (A, F. of L.). In the past the business agent of Local. 71 (Bronx) went around to organize janitors, charging $10 for initiation fee, claiming that they had a pull with Tammany and that his union had spent several thousand dollars graft in order to get this bil’ passed, and as soon as that hap- pened the inijiation fee would be raised. to $25 and later. to'$100. The superintendent or janitor who works from 6 in the morning to 10 at night would have to pay graft to the city and graft to the A. F. of L. out of his $100 or $150 a month. The A. F. of ‘ L, with the aid of Tammany, will attempt to organize those exploited slaves and sit at the examining board, with the bosses to determine what slave is fit to pull garbage. A regular blacklist indeed. A double check against all militant activities. Do the superintendents and janitors believe that they can better thei conditions and fight for better wages and against wage-cuts and evictions by carrying a. license and by belong- ing to the A. F. of L.? No, you must join a fighting union that is not going to charge you $100 to join but only $1 and is willing to help you to win better conditions. Such a union is the Building Maintenance Workers’ Union, built and controlled by the rank and file. In places where there are three or more workers you must form shop or building committees and in the one-4 man houses you must form block committees and whenever a worker is fired or is threatened with firing you niust inform all workers in the building or in the block and try to pull as many workers out as pos- sible, for if you get a wage-cut today without resisting it, your neighbor is going to get a cut tomorrow. The American Federation of Labor ‘s not interested in your welfare. It is a tool of the bosses and only interested in collecting high dues and initiation fees in order to pay fat salaries to themselves.

This extra time is forced upon them with- out extra pay of course.

Tunnel has blown away, the chief engineer directly res- ponsible- has been absolved of all blame. The chief got his graft, the state and local politicians got theirs, and the big contractors made greater profits, all because the expenses ne- cessary to safeguard the workers were not made, This is always the story under cap- italism where we work for a boss, if he (the boss) thinks he can make more profits by sacrificing workers’ safety and can get away with it he does it. Only where the boss sees it more profitable to enforce safety rules or where the workers themselves en- force it, safety devices are provided. In the Soviet Union the health, safety and general well being of the workers come first. CALL WORKERS TO DEFEND THE USSR Answer White Guard Interventionists (Continued from Page One) ty, Germany, states: “In the daily struggle against the bourgeoisie and the socialists, against fascism and social-fascism, the Communist Party of Germany organizes the workers for struggle against a new interven- tion—for the struggle for a Soviet Germany; for the struggle in the de- fense of the Soviet Union.” Comrade Page Arnot, Communist Party, Great Britain, writes: “The exposure of the plot does not remove the danger of war. This danger can be removed only evolutionary ac- tion of the working class in capitalist countries. The British Communist Party, in its agitational work, must prepare the broad masses for the necessity of immediate action on a large scale against the initiators of war.” Representatives of the Communist Parties of China, Japan and the United States write along similar lines, having in view the special posi- tion of their countries. In one of its leading articles, “Pravda” deals with the exceptional importance of the general agreement just concluded between the machinery tractor stations and Kolkhozes (col- lective farms). In the Spring of 1931 the number of stations will increase from 160 to 970. “One hundred and this year,” writes “Pravda; y stations ‘970 next spring, and 1,432 in autumn; 30,000,- 000 hectares (90,000,000 acres) sown, of which one and one-half million hectares (4,500,000 acres) are in cot- ton; 250,000 hectares in sugar beet 275,000 in flax—such is the program of the socialist offensive. And on this basis new thousands of Kolkhozes, new millions of peasant members the collectives, new gigantic victories in the field of wholesale collectiviza- tion, and Sue of the kulaks a class. . “That is our reply to the interven- tion schemes, that is our preparation for repelling any attack of the im- perialists, should they force it.” “Tevestia,” returning to the article of the allegedly dead Riabushinsky, written in July of last year, in which he develops the plan of intervention, states that Riabushinsky regards this undertaking as somewhat too simple. “He (Riabushinsky) not only under- valued the capital investment in na- tional economy, he not only ignored the enormous work in the sphere of economic, and especially industrial construction, but he estimated also wrongly the defense capacity of the Soviet Union. ‘Ten years ago 850,000 soldiers of imperialism attacked the Soviet land ,murdered workers and peasants. Our country and our eco- nomy was ruined. Then we were weak. Our economy was paralyzed, owing to war. We had no military means. Notwithstanding all this, we defeated the imperialist armies.

CHESTER, Pa.—In the warehouse packing department of Lit Bros. de- partment in Philadelphia we work 48 hours per week regular time. The packers were supposed to get an hour for dinner and they could eat their lunch anyway they wanted to, but now they have taken out the chairs, so they can't even sit down for dinner. There were five packers in the ware- house. They were reduced to three and now they left only one to do the work formerly done by five. $18 Per Week Pay | The pay of the packers in the | whole place is $3 per day or $13 per week. Many times they are forced to work three hours overtime for only 50 cents lunch money. Also they have to work until they finish out the or- der for an hour and more and do not even get the 50 cents for lunch. The sanitary conditions in the ware- house are terrible. There is no toilet, no place to drink or wash. On the fourth floor in the Toy and Drug Department there are only 17 packers where there should be 31. John Price, the boss of the Toy and Drug Department is always on the packers’ necks. He is always rushing, never satisfied. If a packer stops for a moment to catch his breath he is right behind him say- ing, “Come on boys, move. We have to rush out this order. What do you think this is anyway, Christmas or playtime?” You are always in a rush, rush, rush. ACWPUTS JOBLESS BRUNT ON TOULERS Make Bosses Pay Real Jobless Relief! (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, Ill.—The politicians of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union are trying to levy a tax of $8.00 per member for unemployed members of the union and are trying to mislead the members and convince them that this tax will solve the un- employed problem. At a recent meet- ing of the,union when the politicians tried to push the tax through, a work- er got up at the meeting and ap- pealed to the other members that they should not vote for the tax. He said that if the union wanted to help the members who were not working they should dig into their well fillled tre which the workers had filled up during the {t years, and not make the workers themselv ca the load and pay for the busi- ness crisis which ev worker in the trade was suffering from. The tailors are getting only two hours a day work and are making $6.00 and $7.00 a week. How can they pay an $8.00 ay ent? Show True Colors Here is where the fun began. The business agents, Spitzer and Ruth- barg, showed their true colors. They began to attack the Communists say- ing that during {he Philadelphia strike the Communists scabbed on the workers. The workers at the meeting began to laugh at him. But he did not tell the workers that the Amalga- mated fakers were fighting for a company union while the Communists in Philadelphia were fighting for a workers union. Are Challenged During the discussion on the mat- ter of unemployment, the leadership of the Amalgamated has shown that they are not only a bunch of fakers, but that they are also a bunch of cowards and are afreid of their own shadows. One of the girls asked the business agent: “Why doesn't the Amalgamated organize unemployed demonstrations like other revolution- organizations, and take the hun- workers on the streets and pro- test against the system? (ny doesn't the amalgamated fight that the boss- es should pay the wages while the workers are out of work?” Norwalk Bank Fails; Depositors Driven by Police (By a Worker Correspondent) SOUTH NORWALK, Conn.—Here in Norwalk like everywhere the busi- ness is declining.

The central committee of the “industrial party” then orienfated it- solf exclusively on the overthrow of the Soviet Government with the help of foreign intervention, the wreckers’ work assuming purely military char acter. Through extended correspondence with the help of French agents, this agreed with the views of the Com- mercial and Industrial Committees in Paris. In February, 1930, a meeting was held with the “Toiling Peasants Par- ty” where the question of planful organization among the kulaks, acts of terror against the Soviet govern- ment, were considered. This furn- ished the final conviction of the pos- sibility of organizing kulak peasant uprisings. Professor Ramsin admitted it was his and Ossachi’s aim in the confer- ence with Denissov in July, 1930, to prove to the Commercial and Indus- trial Committee in Paris the neces- sity of exclusively military p-epara- tion for intervention. French Espionage. The second question established de- tailed reports of espionage of the the character directly demanded by the French Agents R. and K. Espi- or.age information was sent regard- ing the following fields: Economic situation, with particular attention to the results of the wreckers’ work, aviation conditions, situation and per- spective of the war industry. The leader of the Menshevik group, Gromann, actively co-operated in the preparation of the general economic reports. Here Ramsin and Larichev reported on special instructions from Agents R. and K. for the creation of benzine storehouses on the western frontier for the interventionists, tanks, autos aud aeroplanes; estab- lishment of aeroplane bases at stra- tegically important points, and the reduction of Soviet oil consumption of oil for military purposes in 1930. Form Special Committees. Thirdly, orders were given back in October, 1928, by Colonel Joinville, of the French general staff, to pre- pare destructive acts in the war in- dustry, power houses, and in the transport industry. Special commit- tees were formed for working out de- tails and the work was already much advanced. The Jeadership of this work was in the hands of a central committee member who is not among the de fendants, and whose name was not mentioned publicly. Ramsin admit- ted, and Kalinikov and Larichey con- firmed the detailed and concrete plans that were formulated, the list of objects and the practical methods determined, and in five places men- tioned the groups of people organ- ized to carry out the acts of sabotage. All particulars were agreed on with Agent R. Fourthly, the afore mentioned cre- ation of special military organization was likewise discussed in detail in October 1928, in Paris. The plan was not to create soldiers in a mass or- ganization but to win the leading persons of the Red Army, particular- ly in the technical branches. There was organized as a separate body, independent of the central committee of the “industrial party”, to be directly connected with the French general staff, particularly with Colonel Richard and General Lukomski. Professor Ramsin finally admitted that the wreckers appointed a spe- cial commission of members of the central committee to conduct this military work, namely, Larichev, Ka- linikoy, Ossachi, and likewise Ram- sin, This commission partly knew about the realization of the instruc- tions received. Kalinikov and Lari- chey confirmed this, convicting them- selves as the actual leaders of the greatest crime of direct, practical co- operation with the bitterest imper- ialist enemies. Finally, Ramsin was recalled to the stand and made a confession that was so far unrevealed about having personal knowledge regarding the ac- tivity of the special wreckers’ group headed by Riesenkampf for the prep- aration of the Western frontier gath- ering places for enemy troops. At this point there was great com- motion in the hall, Thereupon the morning session was adjourned. CN: Saee MOSCOW, Dec. 3.—The afternoon session supplemented the picture of the wreckers’ military work, begun on order of the French General, Staff. New facts continually reveal- ed new fields, proving the wreck- ers special work for inner, practical preparation for intervention began, not at the end of 1928, but earlier. The witness Crassovski (brought from prison where he is serving a term after sentence at the trial of the transport wreckers, Meck and Com- pany) reported extensive wreckers’ work in transportation. The witness illuminated particularly the wreckers’ measures for paralyzing railroads on frontier territory. Besides preparation for complete disorganization of the transport in- dustry for 1929-30, the wreckers aim- ed at hindering repairs and blocking preparation for the mobilization on all important lines on frontier ter- ritory where intervention was ex- pected, When questioned concerning this special direction of the wreckers’ work, in connection with taking over this field, after liquidation of the Mecks’ group, Professors Ramsin and Larichev claimed they knew nothing. However, Crassovski claimed the, im- possibility of the Central Committee of the “Industrial Party” not being informed about it. New Revelations. The witness Sirosinski, arrested only two months ago, furnished en- tirely new material not known dur- ing the preliminary investigation against the Central Committee of the “Industrial Party.” The witness be- gan by confirming, that for purposes of the wreckers’ work he and Kud- ravev, as formally mentioned, con- struction norms in the Peoples Com- missariat of Labor. The wreckers’ group, including the witnesses, Klevesal,. Kusnetzov, were informed by Noah, after his two trips abroad in 1927-1928, in detail about the preparation for interven- tion under the leadership of the French General Staff. The witness then gave details com- | pletely corresponding to the known | statements of the defeniants. Fol- lowing instruction, the construction group decided to concentrate in the Technical Council and the Supreme Council of National Industries all construction projects affecting front- ier territory on the West, North and South under the control of the group of five headed by Klevesal. For this purpose they aimed to ar- range all new construction to serve intervention interests. Visiting Klevesal, Sirosinski learned the following particulars which caused quite a commotion in the hall: That important new industrial plants were constructed on shores at points easily accessible to battleship artillery; near eventual landing points, and under the cover of industrial construction heavy artillery bases were construct- ed, The question of the Grat Indus- trial plant was kept five months in the Technical Council to gain time to send it through to French agents abroad for consultation and changes. The returned, changed project en- abled the rapid transformation of the aforementioned plant into’ a plant for explosives. In the same territory, planning mills were built as to be easily rebuilt into airplane hangers. Sirosinski further reported large scale forging of construction plans for three gigantic plants in the chem- ical industry making them useless. When questioned about it Ramsin and Charnovski professed ignorance. They admitted, however, the exist- ence of continuous connection of the Central Committee of the Industrial Party with the Klevesal group. The explanation still continues. he ee oe (Special Cable to the Daily Worker.) MOSCOW, Dec. 3.—In yesterday afternoon’s session Michalenko and Zeidler, two witnesses, gave detailed information regarding the extensive sabotage in drainage work, earlier concealed by Professor Ramsin. Mi- chalenko was severely interrupted by the presiding judge to prevent men- tioning precise sabotage acts at the public session. The witness stated his knowledge of extensive drainage sabotage in various border areas since 1926. Drainage was done un- der the cover of agricultural econ- omic necessity, but actually purely for military objectives. Utilizing his experiences in great swamps during the World War, he aimed at paving the way for the invaders in unpro- tected places. The wreckers’ drain- age section in the Supreme Economic Council guided the work which was nersonally directed by the Engineer Woenig and Professors Riesenkampf and Sparro. Michalenko conducted similar work in the summer of 1929. Work was hurried for completion in the autumn of 1930 on the pretext of .economic urgency. During the work Sparro indicated the real cause for the hurry. Michalenko learned from local specialists the purpose for preparation of the ground for land- ing Krassnov's Kassacks. An inspec- tor brought from the center 3,000 rubles to speed operations. Profes- sor Ramsin reiterated his knowledge of this work, stating that Ossachi be- longed to this group. Laritchev ad- mitted and Ramsin finally confirmed the conference at Ossachi’s office re- garding this work. The next witness, Zidler, knew from experience of sabotage in cot- tonfield irrigation in Central Asia with the object of unprofitable in- vestment of big capital and the re- tardation of the necessary expension in the cottonfields. He revealed knowledge of important details re- garding drainage irrigation to facili- tate intervention. Extensive drain- age on western borders was to pave the way for the invaders. To attain the best results in the shortest time they built a chain system of drain- age facilitating conveyance of large forces and provisions. Zeidler con- firmed and mentioned the leaders in this sphere. There will be more im- portant witnesses tomorrow on the question of military sabotage. The uniformity of organization of all newly discovered forms of military sabotage and direct foreign connec- tions of the Parisian center with all groups shows the undeniable leader- chin of the French general staff of this great conspiracy. Pressed by these crushing revelations the de- fendants must, step by step, enlarge the scope of knowledge and their leading role in military work on Sov- RED DEPUTY IN FRANCE EXPOSES BRIAND IN PLOT Cachin hows Up War Maneuvers PARIS.—Referring to Briand’s an- swer in the French Chamber of Dep- uties to the accusagions of Comrade Cachin concerning the anti-Soviet policy of the French government, in which Briand declared that France was planning no action against the Soviet Union or against any other state and that the relations between the two countries were absolutely correct, the “Pravda” declares that Briand also pretended to know noth- ing aboyt the journeys of General Le Rond to the capitals of the west- ern neighbors of the Soviet Union, although it was already common knowledge that General le Rond was the agent of Marshal Foch and at- tended the conferences of the gen- eral staffs of the Soviet’s neighbors. Briand pretends that the relations between France and the Soviet Union are absolutely correct. Apparently he forgets that under the pressure of the reactionary press, of the “credit- ors of Russia,” and of the oil mag- nate Deterding he used deliberately manufactured accusations in order to demand the withdrawal of the Soviet ambassador from Paris. Then there is the Kutiepoy affair when with the knowledge and ap- proval of the French government a furious campaign of lies and calumny was directed against the Soviet Union with a view to causing a breach of | diplomatic relations. Apparently | Briand has already forgotten the at- | tack of the French government on the Soviet export trade and the car- pet-bagging of the French trade min- ister, Flandin, in the capitals of ; Eastern Europe against the Soviet Union. As far as actual military prepara- tions against the Soviet Union are concerned, the French government is not backward. It arms and supplies the armies of Poland and Rumania. Both the Soviet and foreign press have published sufficient proofs of “the correct attitude” of the French government towards the Soviet Union, And then, finally, there are the pene of the arrested sabotagers. t is true that language serves dip- lomats in order to conceal their real ideas, but even one so clever as Mon- sieur Briand will hardly be able to conceal so many facts this time. iet Union territory.

The tribunal recalled the wit- ness Zeidler. Confronted with this witness, Ramzin, Larichev cfd Ka- linikov finally admitted knowledge of military wrecking work in the hy- draulic work department, maintain- ing connection with the hespective group controlling the execution of the work. Pressed by the Soviet prosecutor, Krylenko then confirmed that the fact, i nspite of their knowledge of the work, they hitherto suppressed it, all three admitted this. Krylenko declared his object was achieved; to prove through cross-examination of witnesses the practical wrecking work and direct military preparation for intervention was considerably greater, and was mostly suppressed by the accused. Krylenko, recalling the witness Kirpotenko, and con- fronting him with accused, proved that the Central Committee of the “Industrial Party” knew of the special military wrecking work in the cotton industry, controlled by Kuprianoy. The tribunal then decided to pro- ceed, behind closed doors, to the in- vestigation of personalities of French agents, also regarding details of con- crete military wrecking work.

In addition, government figures (announced even in all capitalist papers) show that the amount of goods exported to the Soviet Union from United States is just five times the amoynt of Soviet goods sold in the United States.

But Deterding isn’t worried about the underconsumption of the Russian masses or any other masses. Deterd- ing, has his eye on the rich oil re- sources in the Soviet Union. His Sleep is disturbed by the fact that the Russian masses are enjoying the fruits of their natural resources in- stead of Sir Henri who has smacked his lips over the oil of Iraq, of Venezuela, Mexico, everywhere that robbers like himself enslave masses of workers and peasants. Then Deterding is worried about China and its 400,000,000 people. You see, Deterding has heard of the Red Army of China, and he knows that the existance and ad- vance of socialist construction in the Soviet Union not only makes inter- vention more difficult, and ultimately impossible, but gives tremendous in- spiration to the Chinese masses. De- terding warns the American capital- ists that if they do not wipe out Communism, not only the Soviet Union will go out of their grasp, but the rich Chinese markets as well. Deterding’s latest yarn should not be taken as a denial, It is a shifting of the war preparations. The details of the original plot are blown up. But Deterding will not stop there. He is calling on the American cap- italists, his arch competitors in the struggle for the contro! of the world oil, to join him in a bigger plot to be carried into action immediately, to smash the Five-Year Plan. Behind the Scenes. ‘In more intimate conversations, net meant for the workers’ eyes, Deterding probably goes a step fur- ther and makes deals for dividing up the Russian oil resources in payment for cooperation for the new war plans.

Oddie’s bill is thus stripped of its fake character of an unemployment rélief measure, but Oddie continues to say that it is “the first and most important step which can be taken to aid ‘in the solution of the unem- ployment problem.” Oddie’s arguments for his embargo, the first step towards war, are very similar to the writings of the White Guard Rabochinsky, just read at the Moscow trial, which argue war on the Soviet Union would be “human- itarian and immensely profitable.” DORIOT ATTACKS YOUNG PLAN IN FRENCH CHAMBER Calls on Workers to Smash Yoke PARIS.—On Nov 13, Comrade Jacques Doroit made an impressive speech in the French Chamber of Deputies during the debate on for- eign affairs. He pointed out that the Communist Parties had always rejected. the peace treaties which were concluded as a result of the war and declared that instead of leading to peace they would lead to new warsand economic catastro- phies. He then criticized the whole imperiality policy of the French bour- geoisie in the post-war period The system of Versailles oppressed the working masses and increased the danger of war. Comrade Doriot then exposed the insanity of the rep- arations: the first demand had been for 800 billion marks. This had been reduced to 375 billion, then to 269 billion, then to 132 billion. And as Germany was unable to pay this the occupation, of the Ruhr took place. This was followed by the Dawes Plan, which. failed and gave place to the Young Plan. F from being the final settlement of the reparations problem, the Young Plan was just as wrong and dangerous as those which had preceded it. Comrade | Doriot then nalyzed the Young Plan. Over 21 billion francs was German nnual quota, but the “experts” had forgotten two things, first of all that under capitalism in- stability and crises played a deeisive role, and that, secondly, the Young Plan was an intensifying factor, driv- ing the general confusion to tremen- dous lengths. In order to pay its quota Germany would need to increase its export trade by about 30 billion francs a year. In the present world economic situation this raised great problems. Mass export from Germany threat- ened. French industries and caused unemployment amongst the French workers, whilst the first effects of the, Young Plan in Germany was the increased exploitation of the work- ing masses. The idea of extracting such tribute from the German peo- ple for 62 years was utopian, and in view of the frightful sufferings it entailed, a crime. The German capi- talists had ways and means of avoid- ing, the burdens.
