Cecil Hope, a@ militant Negro worker, who has been active among the needle trade workers in this city, was refused the floor. Hope protested and seized the floor, denouncing the tricks of the I. L. G. W. fakers and exposing them before the workers. Of the 40 work- ers present many sided with Hope and expressed dissatisfaction with the chairman’s attitude. Maude White, another Negro worker who attempted to take the ficor, was attacked by Cohen, one of the I. L. G. W. organizers, who at- tempted to force her to sit down and knocked a batch of leaflets out of her hands. She fought back and in- sisted on distributing the leaflets, the workers rallying around her and grabbing the leaflets, which con- tained an exposure of the I. L. G. W. fakers.

The office of the new union is worked to death registering he new members, Yesterday alone no less than 1,300 new members were enfolled. As the new union grows so the reformist union is dwindling. The reformist union official, Helwig, admits that the union has lost 32,000 members since the strike, Before the strike the reformist union had 60,000 members in Berlin. USSR TOILERS HIT ATLANTA TRIAL Protest Persecution of Militants NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—A cable- gram was received by the Interna- | ional Labor Defense from the work- ers on the cooperative, farms in Kazakstan protesting the attempt of the legal lynching of the six militant workers in the Atlanta “insurrection” case who will be tried shortly for or- ganizing Negro and white workers into the same unions, under @ law passed prior to the Civil War. The Atlanta case has developed into a vicious attempt on the part of the ruling class of the South to legally murder not only the six work- ers involved but to use this case as a pretense to teach the Negro workers an object lesson of what will happen to them if they attempt to organize into militamt unions, so Newton and Story, the two Negro leaders in the case will be tried separately. In this manner the spotlight will be thrown on them, and all Negro workers, the capitalist class hopes will be terrified into submission. Bub the Negro workers are now rallying to the sup- port of their leaders, as evidenced by resolutions, letters and mass protests received daily by the International Labor Defense. The cablegram from the Russian workers coming from Alma Ata to the International Labor Defense reads, as follows: “The collective of workers of the Central Soviets of the People’s Pro- vince of Kazakstan indignantly pro- test the attack on Newton, Story, ; out because it was overcrowded and | Burlak, Dalton, Powers, Carr by the their immediate release.

For a wek the factory was prac- tically closed. The workers came out on strike splendidly, in spite of their inexperience in conducting a strug- gle. With more organization and real militancy and larger participa- tion on the picket line, the workers could have stopped anyone from go ing into the factory. Because of the situation, the work- ers gave in to the promise of the | boss that there would be no diserim- ination if the workers returned, thereby giving up the fight against the wage-cut at this time. ‘The Trade Union Unity League pointed out to the workers that the boss was only lying in order to get them back, and would soon fire the best fighters and leaders of the strike. The Trade Union Unity League is opposed to wage-cuts and is in favor of fighting these wage- cuts by continued struggle. Although the strike is now lost the fight against wage-cuts and rotten working conditions must continue. The experience gained by the work- ers in the strike will enable them to | organize to successfully combat fur- ther attempts of the bosses to worsen conditions. Workers realize that ‘the bosses’ promise to Hoover not to cut wages is bunk. Wages are being cut every day. Mr. William Green and the American Federation of Labor are cpposed to strikes against wage-cuts and betray every movement of the workers.
