The Unemployed Councils Are the Fighting Organizations for Immediate Relief and Unem- ployment Insurance for the ‘Unemployed Workers. Or- ganize Them Everywhere Dail (Section of AY ~Communist Pa the Communist Interna orker rty U. S.A. tional) WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! Vol. VIII, No. 59 at New York, N. Entered as seccnd class matter at the Post Office 221 ¥., onder the act of March 3, 1179 NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 9, 1931 CITY EDITION Price 3 Cents MecMahon’s Ultimatum sat this case we are frankly astounded, not by the sell-out, but by the brazenness of the method used. .We are accustomed to seeing A. F. of L. officials in the role of strikebreakers. This—preventing and breaking strikes—has become their chief activity. But Thomas F. McMahon, in his ultimatum to’ the striking Philadelphia weavers, has carried A. F. of L, treachery to an extreme not so frequently witnessed. And then, McMahon is not merely an A. F. of L. official, the presi- dent of the United Textile Workers’ Union. He has recently been flirting with the so-called “progressives,” who, like Muste and Gitlow, speak of “reinvigorating the A. F. of L.” And it is his “union” which, with the help of the Musteites, has pretended most to organize the South and to lead the textile workers’ struggles there against the unbearable conditions in the Southern mills. Of course, he and his henchmen betrayed the workers of Danville, as well as those of Elizabethton and other places in the South, but none of his past betrayals have been so brazen as his present ultimatum to the Philadelphia strikers. First he tried to prevent the Philadelphia strike by having the work- ers’ grievances referred to an arbitration board. He persuaded the work- ers that such a board would protect their interests, and then forced them to agree in advance to accept the board’s decision. The board, however, after “due deliberation,” decided that the workers must accept a 14 per cent wage cut. ‘The workers, seeing that they had been led into a trap by McMahon, decided to strike. They struck on February 2nd—5 weeks ago. For the last several weeks twenty-eight Philadelphia mills have been completely stopped, despite the continuous efforts of McMahon to force the workers back into the mills, And now, in desperation, determined to put the bosses’ 14 per cent wage-cut through, McMahon openly and boldly issues an ultimatum to the strikers. He orders them to call off the strike by Monday and return to work or lose their charter, i. e., stand expelled from the “union.” This, certainly, is the act, not of a labor leader, but of a contemptible hireling of the textile. bosses. What a contrast between McMahon's U. T. W. and the National Tex- tile Workers’ Union, affiliated to the T. U. U. L., which recently led mili- tant and victorious struggles against the textile bosses in Lawrence, May- nard and other New England towns, and has such brilliant battles as New Bedford, Passaic and Gastonia to its credit. Here there were no deals wtih the bosses, no efforts to sell out the workers, but only the sharpest, and most uncompromising, struggles for the workers’ demands. And we think that the Philadelphia strikers will see this contrast. And, if they do, they will tell McMahon and his “progressive” allies, at the expiration of the ultimatum today, to quit bluffing and to openly take their places on the companies’ payrolls along with Frank Farrington and other A. F. of L. renegades. The strikers should decide to carry on and spread the strike until the 14 per cent wage-cut has been withdrawn. Mass picketing should be started. The strike committee should be en- larged, after immediately removing all McMahon's supporters. The Na- tional Textile Workers’ Union should prepare at once’ to give full support to the Philadelphia strikers. Reject McMahon's Ultimatum! Continue and Spread the Strike! Stop the 14 per cent Wage Cut! Gandhi’s Betrayal & inevitable has happened. The warnings of the Communists about the treacherous role of Gandhi’s Indian National Congress has come true. Gandhi has concluded peace with British imperialism. Gandhi has bartered away India’s independence for a mess of pottage—nay, for a mess of salt. Whether the Indian masses have enough pottage to salt does not concern the old scoundrel. The political prisoners are to be set free. But, those who organized the Indian workers to fight for their rights will continue—after two years of mock trial—to rot in the Meerut jail. The self-sacrificing Indian youth who, despairing of Gandhi’s heavenly help, resorted to terrorist actions; the brave workers and peasants who met with fists and blows the terror of the imperialist police, will continue to be hanged. Their lives count for nothing to the Indian capitalists who stand behind Gandhi. Even the soldiers and policemen who, in response to the appeal of the Con- gress, have shown insubordination +o their officers, are excluded from the truce terms, and, with the blessings of the Mahatma, will be sent to the dreadful Andamans to die there from torture and disease. Such’ is the agreement entered into by the Indian bourgeoisie in the person of Gandhi on the one hand, and by British imperialism in the person of its Viceroy on the other hand. What about the reduction of land-revenue by 50 per cent; what about the right of the people to bear arms; the cutting down of military expenses, etc., etc.—all of which fig- ured so prominently in Gandhi’s eleven demands? Nothing! Gone to the garbage heap along with the fine phrases about the birthright of the people to freedom, with the hypocritical “declaration of independence.” No wonder that the British imperialists received with acclamation the announcement about the truce and hastened to congratulate the Viceroy on his victory. But aren’t they rejoicing too early? During the last three years, in gigantic strike movements, in innumer- able uprisings and bloody battles with the armed forces of imperialism, the Indian workers and peasants have shown in action their will to fight, their determination to rid themselves of the imperialists and the land- lords. ‘They believed they would accomplish this under the leadership of Gandhi’s Nationai Congress. Now the naked truth is before them. Let the Roys, the Lovestoneites, the Roger Baldwins and others of his breed, continue to chant their Gandhist psalms. GANDHI AND THE NATIONAL CONGRESS HAVE JOINED THE IMPERIALIST ENEMIES OF THE INDIAN PEOPLE. Far from weakening the revolutionary movement, however, this experience will help to steel the forces of revolution. Along with the illusions about non-violence the Indian workers and peasants will throw Gandhi and his bunch of traitors onto the garbage heap of history, and will find new leaders in the Indian Communist Party. Under its leadership they will show both to the British imperialists and to the Indian capitalists that they are not bound by their agreement. You think you have finished with the Indian revolution? Nonsense! The figt only now starts in dead earnest—the fight for the complete liberation of India, for an Indian Soviet Workers’ and Peasants’ Republic! The whole development of the struggle in India makes certain that this will be the answer of the Indian masses to Gandhi's betrayal. Workers Gets Three Months For Selling “Daily Worker” CHICAGO, Ill. — Judge Justin F. McCarthy of the Municipal Court of chicago is a member of the demo- sratic Party. He was elected, together with all the other cemocrats, last No- vember, when the democratic party von a victory because of its demagogic attitude with reference to the unem- ployment problem.

So was a representative of the “red” squad. They impressed upon the judge the “villainous” character of the Daily Worker. It advocates the organizing the unemployed for the purpose of fighting for immediate relief and for social insurance; it urges the workers to organize into revolutionary: unions to fight wage cuts and the speed-up and it fights for social equality for the . colored workers, No wonder the Fish Com- mittee recommended that it be sup- pressed, As these accusations were levelled against the Daily Worker, the hon- orable judge smiled—the satisfied smile of a butcher striking a knife appenesansits 4, BERLIN PRESS INTERVIEW — BLASTS ABRAMOWITCH’S © LIES; ENDS IN FAILURE Capitalist Reporter in His Alibi and De (Special Cable to Daily Worker.)

This individual, who was—business agent (until just now expelled) of the Rig- gers and Safe Movers, was also some time ago business agent of Local 130 of the Paper Box Makers’ Union (A. F. L.) and was expelled by the paper box makers for selling them out.

Immediately after taking this action, a new executive was elected. ‘The Transport Workers’ Industrial League greets the new executive and looks forward to this executive lead- ing a struggle to bring back to the men the union conditions. ‘The membership of the union is now beginning to realize that the fighting program of the Trade Union Unity League is the proper guide for their future struggles. Jobless to (By a Worker Correspondent) Warren, Ohio, Editor Daily Worker: ‘We unemployed workers have ex- pected relief day after day from the city government and their “benev- olent” institutions in this state. In better days many millions of dollars were collected from the working-class people, so that in case the predicted crisis should come the workers would be provided for. Now we have many unemployed workers who are greatly in need, are starving and slowly dying. These workers are refused help. Instead of the promised re- lief, they offer us old clothes which are fit only for the garbage cans. One “thoughtful soul” wrote to the Warren ‘Tribune, the city paper. Here is his article: “To the Editor of the Tribune:— Could it not be arranged to have a committee of charitable people who are not employed //ad who are not in need to make @ house-to-house can- vass in the well-to-do sections of the city, two or three times a week, and gather up the fragments that are usually thrown into the garbage can and which is sometimes’ a sinful waste? Surely some of these things can be cooked over to sterilize them and which would alleviate the poor folk. I feel quite sure that most every family in fair circumstances put aside clothes and victuals which they think they will use and don’t. In many cases they get spoiled and thrown away. “Maybe perhaps they might give some good food away.

The press | was invited to question Abramowitch. What followed was certainly not what the Menshevists expected. The meeting developed into a cross-ex- amination of the Berlin accomplices of the sabotagers. Von Gerlach, editor of the Demo- cratic newspaper Welt am Montag, asked how was it possible to frame- up a trial which would result in the fiasco of the whole Soviet regime if only one of the accused backed out. He pointed out that Dan himself had declared that the accused were edu- | cated in Socialist tradition. Abramo- witch answered that couldn’t conceive the pressure ex- erted by the OGPU, that perhaps | the wives and families of the accused were threatened with death. There was a protest in the hall. Gerlach continued, declaring that the | best way to expose the allegedly false confessions would be if Dan and Abramowitch secured safe-conduct the trial. Abramowitch said feared “a motor accident,” or some- thing similar in the Soviet Union. Uproarious laughter broke out at this | Temark. Replying to other questions Abram- owitch admitted that the Menshevist | maintained an illegal organization in {the Soviet Union; he admitted that | Braunstein, a Menshevist, was sent to the Soviet Union as a represen- | tative of the foreign Menshevist or- | ganization. He said that many oth- ers were also sent at various times. The representative of the “Rote | Fahne” (Red Flag’, Communist newspaper, said: “Akramowitch stated recently in the Sport Palace meeting | that Bolshevism was worst than | Czarism, and that the Russian work- jers were longing for democracy.

DRESSMAKERS IN MASS PICKET DEMONSTRATION \Fourth Week of Strike Opens; Thousands Still Out NEW YORK.—The beginning of the fourth week of the dressmakers’ picketing demonstration this morn- ing, the third since the strike began. delphia went on strike a month ago against the unbearable conditions prevalent in the needle industry. Within the past year their wages had been reduced from 40 to 50 per cent, sometimes more, their hours had lengthened until a 60 and 70- hour week was common, and new and successively more brutal speed- up systems were constantly being in- troduced. Just before the strike be- gan average wages of dressmakers had fallen to less than $20 a week, |} and there were thousands who were being paid $4, $6 and $8. Negroes and Youth Most byploited Negro and young dressmaker were | the most bitterly exploited of the lot. | Negro dressmakers were always paid the lowest wages and were prevented | from working at the more skilled | jobs, Young dressmakers were forced to do the*work of skilled adult dress+ makers at half the latters’ wages. Women were exploited in the same manner, Workers’ organizations all over the | country are contributing to the $15,- 000 Dress Strike Fund, and a bazaar | to be held here by the union on | March 19 to 22 is expected to raise @ substantial sum to aid the dress- makers in their fight against their wealthy exploiters. “SUN” PICKETS AS MILITANT AS EVER NEW YORK.—The workers of the Sun Market continue their struggle against wage cuts, speed-up and long hours, although 50 pickets have been arrested at the three stores of this company in the last three days. ‘The 13 held in. Friday arrests were placed on $300 bail each, and all refused bail and remained in jail. The case came up Saturday, and was postponed to March 11, with all re- leaged in custody of their attorney. ‘The workers insist on picketing and the action of the AFL union of- ficials who hang around the corners and point out to the police those to be arrested or beten up, does not terrify them, but rouses them to} greater efforts. The strike is led| by the Food Workers Industrial Union of the TUUL. ‘The two-hour strike of the Olym- pic Cafeteria, 235 Willis Ave., Bronx, was won.

De- | partment of Labor continued to pick | up scores of foreign-born workers for deportation, the workers are or- | ganizing their forces under the lead=} ership of the International Labor De- fense for a determined struggle | against this government terror. The New York District of the ILD is calling on all workers in New York City and vicinity activeiy to join this fight at a big mass meeting to protest against the efforts to deport Louis Bebrits, editor of the Hungarian Communist daily, Uj Elore. The meeting will be held next Wednesday, March 11, at 8 p. m. at Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Place. Bebrits was arrested for deporta- tion several weeks ago as a direct re- sult of his militant testimony before the Fish Committee. His arrest and subsequent arrests of foreign-born workers show that the government is putting into effect the fascist pro- posals of the Fish Committee even before Congress hes acted on them. Bebrits is now out on $1,000 bail, but unless the workers of the entire country act at once and get solidly | behind the fight of the New York | ILD to free him, he will be delivered into the hands of the .bloody ex- ecutioners of the Hungarian work- ing class. | workers have stormed the | Two-hundred Detroit Jobless Sold at Auction; to Work in Ice Water on Canal (By a Worker Correspondent) Detroit, Mich.

Foster, general secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, has just returned to New York after a swing around the middle and far west, in which he spoke to record audiences, in many cases the largest crowds of workers in those cities for years. He spoke en the topic, “Don’t Starve, Fight for Unemployment Insurance!” Foster states that the most out- standing “fact observed on this tour was the new spirit, the determina- tion and decision to organize and to struggle, and that this rising courage of the masses was visible from one, end of the trip to the other, Foster's last meeting was March 5 in Johnstown, Pa., where in this city of 170,000 total inhabitants, some 5,000 gathered at Point Stadium for an enthusiastic meeting. Miners came from as far as 40 miles out in the surrounding country. Many Terror Increases In West, But Workers Are Determined in the audience were steel workers. Overshadow Thomas. The Milwaukee meeting was twice as large as Norman Thomas’ meet- ing.

The second most important feature seen on this tour, said Foster, was the ruthless terror in many places. “You begin to feel the atmosphere of police terror as soon as youreach Denver,” said Focter, de Workers All Thru His Tour Huge Den Mvereeting. Even so, Denver workers assem- bled in the biggest meeting they had since Haywood was released from jail in 1907, In Los Angeles meetings were smashed or meeting places prohibited one after the other, The agricultural districts are espe- cially visited by the terror, because it is safer there for the terrorists, and there is no sufficient body of workers to oppose them, In Oakland three halls were re- fused in one day.

I was told by the Committee that if I did not work on the canal, that what groceries I am getting, which is little enough, would be cut off.

When I absolutely refused to do the work, the head of the local told me I looked like one of these Bolsheviki. I told him I was glad to be called a Bolshevik, for it is they who are fighting for 15 dollars per week for each unemployed workers and $3 for each dependent.

Instead of unem- ployment insurance, which rouses his horror, Donham proposes that the unemployed. be put to work at large scale building at a wage rate “in volume equal to a dole,” namely 5C per cent of the regular wages. This, of course, would throw those who ordinarily do this work out of their jobs, and would cut all wages, a matter of great. satisfaction ta Donham.
