APRIL 3, 1931 _DAILY. WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, SANTA CLARA VALLEY BOSSES TO PAY 40 CENTS TO ORCHARD WORKERS Plan to Even Beat Such Low Wages Down; Valley Now In Full Bloom Agricultural Workers League Organized In San Jose; All Join! Sunnyvale, Cal. Daily Worker: Well, the beautiful Santa Clara Valley is in its full bloom now, so-called paradise seeking master class, but it sure is paradise for the pleasure seeking master class, but it sure is @ hell for the workers ever sinee the first worker got his foot- ing and started to develop the beauty it now possesses, for workers hére are toiling from early in the morning until late at night. In the summer time in the fruit crops the majority of the workérs start out early in the morning without know- ing whether their day’s work will beé done before they see stars in the sky or not. That all depends on the ran- ther or frit buyers who hires them. Lew Wages. When the fruit is ripe, it is the bosses’ business to see it all picked on timé so that they get most profits out. Wages were until the present from 85 to 40 cents per hour and never one cent is paid for over time work. Now that fruit season is on again soon, rumor goes around that no workers will be paid over forty cents an hour, whether he is white or Ne- gto. The Agricultural Workers In- dustrial League, has just been organ- ized in San Jose and it is the duty of all Filipino, Mexican, Negro and American workers to join it and show the cannery and big orchard lords that they are no longer able to‘fool us by telling us white workers that we are better than Filipinos. Let all workers unite as one class and fight the capitalist class. —G. D. Waterbury, Stone Masons Taken Off Job ' By Union Waterbury, Conn, Daily Worker: ‘Twenty opén shop masons started to work on the additions being built onto Tinker School in Town plot this morning. These men replaced the union men who were taken off the job last week by order of the masons’ union after the chargé had been made that the men were being paid below the union scale, Tremaglio Bros., contractors for the school allowed the men until Monday to return at union wages, and when they did not appear for work hired the non-union men, Officers of Tremaglio Bros. stated this morning that the répresentdtives of the Plumbers’ Union leaders had agreed to allow union members to work on the job with the open shop masons.

The boss told Rita that hé did not need any- body, and when the worker remarked why advertise when no help is needed, the boss started a fight and rudély pushed the worker into the elevator, which was at that time on the floor. The elevator operator eame to the assistance of the boss and puuel the worker into the ele- vator. About five men came to answer the above ad. The boss scrutinized every one of the applicants, but did not hire one of those present. —A Shoe Worker. Married Couples In Dear Editor: In one Of Mayor Murphy’s relief joints at Hastings and Cathine Sts, the rations ebnsisted of old mashed potatoes and plénty of stalé bread. They tell us that there are 43 married couples eating here besides = large namber of single mien. Thére are as many as 150 men in line at a time during eating Detroit Soup Lines hours. The married couples have to wait until the single ones are all out before they are allowed inside. The food is so bad that two work- ers could not eat it, so they told the cook. All he said was that he was sorry, but could not do any- thing to relieve the affair. Let's organize and fight for real relief and not rotten food. Unemployed Married Couple. Sacramento Salvation Army Cuts Out ‘Relief’ Sacramento, Calif. Daily Worker: AS Spring is here and Hoover's prosperity is somewhere atound the corner (not in sight yet), the starva- tion army has run out of funds and will not hand out any more slop to the unemployed. ‘The city of Sacramento has gone into thé slop business tmtil the First of May, by that time the grass will be good afd the unemployed can graze with the cattle. ‘The city councils have decided this because they stid that it would not 6 €6 lé6 the unemployed go Without sotte Kind of fations.

The present period of un- employment is sapping the founda- tions of Negro family lifé.... Thé records of Family Relief Organiza- tions indicate an alarming incréase in the number of Negro families wholly dependent on charity in al- most every city in the country. In Cincinnati relief causes among Ne- groes increased from 85 to 800 from December, 1929 to January, 1931. In Greensboro, North Carolina, the cases for relief increased 300 percent in the period of a year. In Chicago Negroes, although but 4 percent of the popu- lation, constitute 25 percent of the total number of relief cases. In Baltimore 34 percent and in: Dayton 50 percent; in Philadelphia 40 per- cent and in Pittsburgh 44 percent.” Sole dependence is here again placed by the Urban League on the figures of relief organizations which clearly do not cover the whole situation, as thousands of Negro workers denied even this fake “relief” can testify. What the Urban League fakers are most concerned with, however, is the effect of the miserable conditions of the Negro masses on the status of the Negro professional and business groups: Must Demonstate May Day “That the economic structure of the entire Negro race is in an alarm- } ing State of disrepair, with diré ef- feet upon business and professional interests dependent uport the patron- age of Negro wage-earners.”, Their next chief concern is the growing rest permeating the Négro masses, The terrple misery facing thé working-class generally, and the Ne- gro masses in particular, emphati- cally point to the necessity of the workers, native and foreign born Negro and white, coming out in gi- gantic mass demonstrations on May First, in continuation and intensi= fication of the struggle against star= vation, wage cuts, persecution of Negro and foreign born, imperialist war, and for real relief and unem- ployment insurance to be paid by the bosses and their government and ad- ministered by the workers without discrimination because of race or place of birth.

Meanwhile They Cut Off Even Little Relief That Was Given Jobless (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ployers is for more starvation—which means more profits for the bosses. New York, Oakland, Chicago, Phila- delphia and many other cities are cutting off what little relief they were giving. So do the small towns. An example is Mount Pleasant, N. Y., in which yesterday the Village Board passed a resolution to “cut poor re- lief to the bone,” to substitute 25 cent coffee for that which has been issued, and to buy other foods at the cheapest price. Simultaneously, the state Commit- tee on Unemployment Relief Meas- ures of New Jersey announces that unemployment in January this year is 13.4 per cent worse than at the same 'time last year, when the crisis was already well advanced. se (Special to the Daily Worker) PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 2—The city of Pittsburgh refuses pointblank to give unemployment relief. ‘The committee, elected at a meeting of the unemployed council in the Hill sé¢tion ‘Visited the city “Department of Public Poor” and were flatly re- fused relief. The committee of the unemployed council presented the cases of seven starving families. They were told by an individual named Raub, the director of the department, that the city does not give out re- lief at all. They were told to go to some char- ity institution and when they pro- tested that they have already tried this, they were told the city could do nothing for them. Included in the seven cases was the Thomas /fam- ily, of six, whose meager relief from a charity institution was cut off four months ago. This refusal to give relief is a part of the infamous “Pittsburgh Plan” of the Mellon and the steel and coal in- terests. By means of this plan the bosses are extracting one -day’s pay from the already starving part-time workers. The plan also includes a complete registration of all workers and the employmient only of “de- sirable citizens” which makes it eas- ier to deport and jail class conscious workers. While a great deat of noise has been made about the Pittsburgh plan, unemployment in Pittsburgh has grown by leaps and bounds. ‘The of- ficial figures of the government now admit 60,000 totally unemployed and 20,000 more who &till “have jobs” but are not working, which means that they are aiso laid off. There are for the freedom of Paul Kassay, and to participate in the amnesty drive for thé reléase of all class war pris= oneérs, ‘Thé métibers in their discussion pointed out that Paul Kassay is a victim of thé frame-up systern, that being a foreign-born worker and in sympathy with the workers of the Soviet Union, the bosses decided it was safer for them to frame him, and intimidate the workers from joining their forces for strugglé against miserable conditions. .

The National Miners’ Union yes- terday challenged the leaders of the Glen Alden General Grievance Com- mittee of the United Mine Workers of America locals to & debate in pub- lic, charging them with betraying the strike, but there has been no an- swer to the challenge yet. ‘The rank and file opposition held @ succéssful conference last night and platihéed further struggle against the betrayal.

Instead the So-called “Emergency Committee” of which Kaufman and Mellon are members is to get donations, forced from the workers on the threat of Josing their jobs. These donations are to be usetl to hire workers at a committee then’ rehires them to whom it pleases.

The news- paper declared that the impressions of the industrialists were very fav- orable. In view of the efforts of the Soviet authorities to build up a highly trained working class, from 20 to 25 per cent of the employees in the big factories are apprentices. As far as the accusations of dumping are eon- cerned, the Russians wil lonly éxport- goods in accordance with their own need for foreign currency. In view of our economic situation we must do business with the Russians, pars ticularly in view of the fact that the political situation in the Soviet Union is stable. The German delegation was present at the opening of the Soviet Congress and received the impression that the Soviet government has the reins firm-= ly in its hands. There is no doubt whatever that the Russians will ful- fil the financial obligations they have undertaken. Other countries may close their frontiers against Russian trade, but this would méan that thé Russians would treat their remaining business partners better than ever. Orders for German industry ranging from 300 million to 500 million marks are contemplated for all kinds of ma- chinery, tools, industrial and électri- cal equipment. USSR OIL OUTPUT 90 Workers Get Special Recognition The Associated Press reports wide | celebration in the Soviet Union on | the occasion of the completion of | thé Five-Year Plan for petroleum production in two and one-half years. All of thé néwspapérs in the Soviet Union are pointing out the achieve- ments of the oil industry.

For their services in the oil in- dustry, 90 workers of the Gromy oil fields have beeri named t6 receive the Order of Lenin, one of the highest Soviet decorations.

In the last two years the Soviet Union has made tremendous progress in the building of Socialism. Only in the Soviet Union is there no unem- ployment, wage-cuts and hunger. For this reason the bosses’ government wants to destroy the Soviet Union. In thé United States the govern- ment has increased its fascist terror against the workers. Daily, Negro workers are lynched and foreign-born workers deported. The Young Work- er, the Young Pioneer, and other working class papers have been banned from the mails. The Fish Committee has openly demanded the outlawing of the Communist Party, the Young Communist League and other workers’ organizations. Since the time of our last con- vention, many things have happened in our Young Communist League. Our League was, and still is, a sec- tarian organization isolated from the working youth. It was only in the last nine months that our League be- gan to struggle against sectarianism, and to begin to carry out the line of the Y. ©. L, our League has had to struggle against resistance from séc- tions of the leadership and member- ship. It is in the last period, on the basis of this struggle, that the League can record certain gains. From 1,000 members at the time of .the Party Convention. we have grown-to more than 2,000 members. This..is only the first beginning and at the time of the ¥. C. L. Convention» we must.) shave at least 4,000 member in our} League. Therefore, the National Executive Committee has decided to call the Sixth National Convention of the 7, 8, and 9 in New York City. On the basis of our experience in carrying out the Three-Month Plan of Action (Mareh ist to May 30th), on the holding of a successful National Youth Day on March 30th, and on the drawing into the leadership of many new proletarian elements, the Convention will lay down the future tasks for the League. The Sixth National Convention must be prepared by the widest dis- cussion throughout the ranks of the League, Thé Convention must give an atiswer to many important ques- tions. It must mark the path for the building of @ mass Léague. If must clearly formulate the partial demands for the various industries. It must take up t he tasks in building of our mass guxiliaries. It must take up thé probléms of building the revo- lutionaty trade unions and youth sections. It must lay the basis for thé rooting of the League in the basic industries through thé building of shop nuclei. It must answer the problems of winning the Negro youth. Only by intensive work in the car- tying through of the Three-Month Plan and the successful completion of National Youth Day, can we make thé Sixth Converition a poitit of de- parture from thé past.

Already ships, War and merchant marine, are being dirécted t6 Nicaragua, ostensibly for rélef, but in reality to use thé occasion for fur- ther imperialist encroachment. Hoover’ “relief” will be used to ad- vance Wall Street’s interests and rot benefit the masses who will suffér most as @ result of the earthquake. The president of Nicaragua, Mon- cado, is & puppet of Wall Street, and was put into power by thé direct in- tervention of Hoover and Secrétary of State Stimson.
