Only the agressive resistance of the mass of lower Federal employes can halt this wage-cutting campaign which may even cut deeper than first planned. The misleaders of the few Federal workers associations in ex- istence may be counted upon to put over this-cut and under pressure only resort to appeals and meaningless threats, B Only under militant, aggressive leadership as the Trade Union Unity League, can the big mass of lower government workers put up a fight that would stop the Wall Street pro- gram of making the workers and em- ployes bear the brunt of the crisis. t rc Iron and Bronze Workers Lose Their Conditions forced to do something. And they made a great move. They put in office the veteran faker Vosk and he started a peculiar organizational drive. He approaches the professional scabs well known in the trade. He thinks that any rotten scab would pay $25 to $50 to have his past for- gctten, especially when no strike is in sight. How will the few workers who still remain in the union receive their new associates? I do not think they will like it. There would be much more advantages for the iron | workers if the Communists would be, back in the union. Surely social-fascist fakers prefer scabs but the workers must fight against such policy, and fight for the reinstatement of the five expelled brothers. She’s Now With Workers, Not With Church About two years ago I was to be sponsor for a baby. We went to get Church to Rev. Kebe. After he had baptized the baby the man that was with me handed him two dollars. The crusty priest widened two big eyes my cook, The man said, I can’t af- ferd to give more, I am a poor work- ing than. Priest Kebe said if every one would say that I think I'd croak. All the while we were there he tried to flirt with me and told me I was good looking. He thought he would get me. But I cut him off cold. I just sneered at him just to show him that he made a damn fool out of himself instead of me. —Mrs. A.S. ‘ust Chop Wood.

He ar- rived by beating his way on freight trains and after being three times ar- rested on the road. Negro Delegate Elected. Julius Washington, a Negro dele- gate from Albany and a carpenter, was elected vice-chairman. Wagen- knecht was elected secretary. The arrangements committee elected consists of the head of each territorial delegation, and is in charge of technical arrangements. Great applause greeted Wagen- knecht’s statement of the purpose of the conference: “We meet not as in- dividuals but as delegates represent- ing 1,400,000 workers who have sent and endorsed us. We actually repre- sent the whole ten million jobless in the United States, as well as the work- ers in the shops, who may be driven cut of their jobs at any moment. “Only We Can Win Insurance!” “Congress has so far taken no step for insurance, but criminally fights against it.. Only the power of the workers can win insurance. We rep-, resent. this power and appear here to make this power felt. “The workers have no representa- tives in congress. Only the enemies of the workers and the misleaders of labor are there. We speak for all workers. This conference, the most important ever gathered together so far in’ the history of the country, demands the floor of both houses of congress for its speakers tomorrow to make its statement and read the bill. Statement to Congress. ‘The statement to congress being worked out by the national conference now will point out that the work- ers’ demand for unemployment insur- ence is a demand for the right to live, and that it is a fight against mass starvation. It tells of the millions of children in rich America who are growing up stunted in body and brain from slow starvation. It tells of their going barefoot in the snow in the coal regions. It tells of the starvation dis- ease, pellagra, which ravages the Scuth. It tells of the semi-starvation of the breadlines in the wealthy Northern cities. It tells of the hun- ger among the farmers. Places Responsibility. And it charges: “The responsibility for’ organizing unemployment relief rests squarely upon the government. Put nothing has ben done by its na- tional, state and local branches. The vresent so-called relief measures are ‘th an insult and’a@ crime against the workers. While giving no real re- lef, they serve only to create the illu- son that something is being done. Meenwhile, actual mass starvation spreads among the ranks of the work- ers.” The statement charges that the ac- tual policy of the national and local governments is to let the unemployed workers starve. It has not appropri- ated a cent for unemployment relief, although it has no difficulty in find- ing $162,000,000 for tax rebates to al- ready over-rich corporations, two bil- lions for war purposes and hundreds of millions for various pork barrel ap- propriations. Demands Insurance. The statement will tear into and expose the organized starvation of the cities and the continued use of the unemployed in wage-cutting schemes, | and it exposes the fake nature of the Hoover building program. It will state: “We workers reject with scorn, hatred and indignation this whole contemptible capitalist charity system and the treacherous labor leaders who support it.” ‘The statement gives figures to show that there is permanent mass unem~- ployment and ends by describing and demanding the Workers’ Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill. Discuss the Bill. ‘The bill itself is under discussion at the sessions now being held here in Concord Hall. The main prin- ciples of the bill, which calls for a fund of $5,000,000,000 to be set aside by the national government for un- employment iisurance payments, that. this money be made up of the cash already appropriated for war pur- peses by the Hoover government, by appropriations of other money in the U S. treasury, and by a tax and cap- ital levy on the rich stockholders of the country, will stay in the bill. The discussion centers around the amount that should be paid weekly to the unemployed workers. The original form of the bill called for $25 a week and $5 more for each debendent. The delegates are unanimous that this is vo cents Workers’ and $3 more for each dependant. and unemployed workers. Unemployment Insurance Bill The Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill proposes: 1.—Unemployment insurance at the rate of $25 a week for each unemployed worker and $5 additional for each dependant. tional Conference on Unemployment will consider changing this to $15 The Na- 2,—The creation of a National Unemployment Insurance Fund to be raised by: (a) using all war funds for unemployment insurance; (b) @ levy on all capital and property in excess of $25,000; (c) a tax on all incomes of $5,000 a year. 3.—That the Unemployment Insurance Fund thus created shall be administered by a Workers’ Commission elected solely by employed The Chicago Red Builders News Club is forging ahead since it organ- ized a month ago. T. Lambrau, sec- retary, writes: “We see good results since we formed our club, and ask you now to raise our daily bundle from 300 to 400, Saturday too. We would advise other cities to form such a club.” Following are the tables received in the detailed report: W. McDermot, 1,097 copies in 26 days, winner of first prize, “The Five Year Plan”; S.

ARREST SHOE ORGANIZER IN PHILADELPHIA Boss Judge Tries To Break Strike With Injunction PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8—-While in New York City the workers are being treated to a sham investigation of corruption and graft in the chambers of “justice” where (honorable?) mag- istrates and supreme court judges ply their trade, in the fine art of—legal stealing of bank funds, etc., we can witness another picture in the city of brotherly love. In Philadelphia where the cracked liberty bell hangs, other judges are handing out capitalist “justice” to workers by throwing them into jail incommunicado~no hearing, no bail and Ho definite sentence. Here we have a demonstration of real capi- talist dictatorship, this time the vic- tim is the organizer of the Shoe and Leather Workers’ Industrial Union of Philadelphia, Constance Lippa, who has been conducting the eight weeks strike of shoe workers against wage reductions and speed-up in the Finkelstein, Standard and Model shoe shops. After six weeks of militant strug- gle the Model shoe company was forced to settle with the workers and withdraw the wage cut proposal and recognized the shop committee. This victory of the workers was answered by the bosses with vicious injunc- tions, depriving the workers of every right to protect their jobs and to break the strike. Twenty workers were arrested defy- ing the injunction and thrown into jail, all were released since excepting the union organizer, Constance Lippa, | who is claimed to be the “judge's” prisoner. The injunction judge bra- zenly boasts of how he is going to handle these radical labor leaders. All efforts to have Lippa brought to trial or to have bail set and Lippa released pending trial have been in vain. The bosses’ judge arrogantly says he is my prisoner and I will see to it that he does not conduct any more strikes against wage cuts. Lippa is not only being held with- out bail or trial but the bosses’ judge is also trying. to have Lippa deported back to Italy into the hands of the fascist government. ‘The National Shoe and Leather Workers’ Industrial Union affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League calls upon all workers to rally to the support of the fight for the imme- diate release of Lippa and the fight of the shoe workers against wage cuts, speed-up and unbearable shop conditions. Send contributions to the shoe workers headquarters, 39 North 10th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Lippa has a wife and four small children. BRIAND RUSHES WAR AGAINST SOVIET UNION A new step has been taken by Briand for French capitalism in the war preparations against the Soviet Union, At the recent Geneva con- ference to “discuss” the pan-Euro- pean scheme, the French capitalists tried to draw Italy and Germany into the tightening alliance against the workers’ republic. Now an “invi- tation” is sent to the Soviet Union, as @ means of hiding the glaring war preparations. Even the sending of the invitation has its peculiar quirk. It goes to Iceland instead of to the Soviet Union. Briand, of course, knows the correct address of the Sov- iet Union. No action has been taken on this “invitation,” but the press in the Sov- iet Union is exposing the whole war machinery being built up against the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Recent editorials in the French capitalist newspapers show that France is rushing its war prepara- tions. For instance, the Paris Temps, the leading expression of the French bankers and their government, writes that “the fate of Europe will be de- cided in the next two years.” It is during the “next two years” when the Five-Year Plan is scheduled for com- pletion. The Temps says, during this period, “it is necessary to find means to guarantee security during this transitional period.” © Steps towards the type of “guar- antee”\the French bosses want is shown by the Moscow trial of the wreckers. Here proof was brought out of the definite war preparations under the direction of the French General Army Staff. Further proof of what “guarantee” means is indi- cated by the $120,000,000 loan to Po- land, Rumania and Yugoslavia which the American capitalist press admit- ted had “military significance.” Po- land, Rumania and Yugoslavia, French vassals, are the front trenches in the war against the Soviet Union. sub and one yearly sub were se- cured. “NOT SURE TO EAT,” SENDS 1-MONTH SUB “T am not sure to get enough to SELLS 280 OF 300, Last week's report from Walter against lynching and discrimination Swezey, Daily Worker agent, shows of Negro workers and against the| that out of 300 copies received, 280.

S. imper- jalists and the Haitian bourgeoisie for joint exploitation of the Haitian masses. The latest sign that the Haitian bourgeoisie do not consider that the U. S. imperialists are making suffi- cient concessions to the native bour- geois misleaders as the price for their betrayal of the national Itberation struggle is seen in the wrath of the native bourgeois press against. the refusal of the American bosses of the Haitian Government to acknowledge an order from President Vincent (who succeeded Borneo as the Jead- ing native tool of the American oc- cupation) promoting three employees in the Department of Public Works of this city. La Reaction, under. the caption, “Un Soufflet” (an insult), declares: “The insult given to the Haitian people by Mr. Dana Munro, who ally- ing himself to the head engineer of the Department of Public Works, and refusing to accept the Commissions signed by his Excellency, the Presi- dent of Haiti, has provoked the logi- Haitian Misleaders Di With Their Judas Bargain With U.S. Resent Refusal of American Imperialist to Give Them Greater Share in Loot—Use Threat of Mass Revolt Against U.

Effectively this morning, singe ten- thirty, all the services of this de- partment went on strike, as an act of protestation against the rebellion of Mr. Duncan, who refused to obey an act which is a constitutional pre- rogative of the President of the Re- public of Haiti.” La Presse, a Haitian bourgeois daily, takes the lead in an effort to rally the Haitian masses behind the demands of the bourgeoisie for im- portant concessions from their im- perialist bosses: “On this occasion, putting rancour, the whole Haitian people must mass itself behind the gove. ment of Mr. Stenio Vincent who must lead the fight against the enemy, until the fatal end: Integral Freedom of the Haitian people of thein en- slavement! “Haitians!
