He was telling the workers the contents of the Daily and when the Sallies, so-called be- cause of their salling against the workers, came out, he naturally ex- plained the existence of the soup- linés, woodpiles, etc. While one of the men in the group went and interviewed the policeman on the beat, the well known “Mike,” the leader testified on “love,” etc. A few minutes after the meeting started, “Mike” came chashing out of the saloon on the corner. Shoving his way thru a knot of workers there, he knocked one old men down. The old man remonstrated with him, but got only a muttered curse. “Mike” walked up to Stapf and calling him names, stated that only because he was one-legged, did he refrain from beating him up. Of course, “Mike” forgets how he hit a 70 year old Longshoremen Aroused Over A. F. of L. Sell-' Out of New Orleans Strike | (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW ORLEANS, La.—After being four months on strike against a wage eut in which the longshoremen fought most militantly, the fakers of the International Longshoremen Association of the A. F. of L., suc- ceeded in selling out the strike, but they can not fool the workers any longer. In the mass meeting 1653 voted against calling off the strike; 5 voted for it. Then the officials called a conference of the fakers on the Gulf Coast and ordered the men back to work, telling them that the shipowners would not discriminate against them and that they would discontinue the abuses that were practiced before the strike. ‘The capitalist press stated that 100 had been back to work, but in reality not even 10 returned to their jobs.

This was the tactic of a “Christian” society of grafters, etc. | ‘The girls were not permitted to tes-| tify when Stapf, defending himself, brought out this fact. The judge was hesitant about letting the frame-up be too raw in the sight of the 500 workers. One can only feel sorry for the women workers who are misled by such grafters. The court was looking for a way out. The worker who defended himself backed up by the crowd in the courtroom, was more than they cared to have go on. The case was dismised.

They did not even discharge the men (scabs) who worked during the strike. The longshoremen are greatly aroused over the perfidy of the LL..A and they realise that the policy of mass picketing to smash the injunc- tion as proposed by the Marine Workers Industrial Union was correct. They now realize that the strike, had it been conducted by a rank and file committee, as proposed by the MWIU would have been successful. The Marine Workers Industrial Union has moved their headquarters to 832 Market Street so as to be more able to carry on the work of organiz- ing the marine workers into one fighting union for all the marine ‘workers. during the last two months, many were hurt. Thousands of starving men are re- gistered at the Los Vegas employ- ment office, so chances for jobs are very slim. Sharks in the East and middle West are hiring men and charging a fee; but when they reach the dam site they find no jobs. Down with the murderous, graft- ridden capitalist system! The only country in the world where the work- ers can make a decent living, is the Soviet Union.

The conference was opéned a fer minutes after 11 a. m. by chairma Schultz. First report on the situatio> and conditions of the striking min- ers in the east was given by W. Dun- ne, one of the leaders in the strikin> area. His report of rampant starv- ation, disease and misery under which the miners and their families were forced to live was followed closely by | the delegates wso haw in this picture | of starvation their own self, and the | like conditions of the miners in Tl-| linois fields, ‘The second report by J. Tash on the conditions of miners in the Tlli- | nois coal fields showed not only basic | similarity of condition in Illinois | fields with those prevalent in the striking area, but that the Tilinois miners face the same struggle against starvation and mass discharges, mass hunger, disease and most heart reading misery as the miners in the tri-state area who are now on strike. In the discussion in which more | then thirty delegates participated, they expressed militant solidarity | with the heroic struggle of the min- ers in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. “we must show our solidarity with the striking miners not only in get- ting relief but in spreading the strike struggle,” was the sentiment expres- | sed by most of the delegates. To this effect concrete steps were | taken. Fifteen motions were adopted for immediate action, which include setting up of action committees by the rank and file miners to broaden the struggle in the Southern Mlinois coal fields, to support the present strike of the tri-state miners, Orient strike of 22,000 miners, and call on all rank and file miners to bring the issue before their locals for immedi- ate relief. The conference also took @ series of organizational steps to carry out | this plan of work. A motion was | adopted to set up rank and file com- mittees of action in each mine to take up issues and grievances, to) fight mass discharges, speed-up, to raise concrete demands for each mine and unite the miners under its lead- ership for struggle against starva- tion and unbearable conditions which prevail. For guidance and more ef- fective linking up of the strugle and | broadening of the same, provisional | District Committee for action were | elected and empowered to issue state- ment on the policy adopted at the conference. Conference also adopted 2 motion to issue program of action to be put before the rank and file convention July 6th and will put up a slate of militant candidates.

War Debt Clash Is Sharpening (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) United States were but 2.01 per cent of its budget for 1930-31, says The Nation, “while for armaments it is expending 10,3 per cent, France only paid $44,330,000 to the United States in 1930-31, while her mili- tary and naval expenditures reach- ed the enormous sum of $482,000,- —2.24 per cent as against 21.9 per cent. Even in Great Britain, only 4.2 per cent of her budget came to use, while miltary and na- val expenditures took 14 per cent, In Italy the comparison is even more striking. Its payments to the United States are only six-tenths of one per cent of her entire bud- get, while more thone one-quarter, 25.4 ped cent goes to preparations for mass murder.

S. R., to commence the war against the socialist fatherland. The | conspiracy of Hoover and Mellon is aimed at worsening the conditions | of labor at home and abroad. The same Mellon who is now engaged in secret talks in Europe, is responsible for the shooting down of miners in Pennsylvania. The same Hoover and Mellon who have the brazen hypocrisy to speak of these open war moyes as acts of international brotherhood and peace are responsible for the lynching of Negroes and framed up death sentences against Negro children in the South, for wors- ening the conditions of the American workers, for hunger and starva- tion of millions of workers in the United States. Already the Wall Street government attempts to extend the same sort of “financial help” to Latin America. This is a bold and predatory move of Hoover to take advantage of the economic crisis to destroy the last remnants of independence of Mexican, Central and South American republics, to secure undisputed control over the economic life of Latin \merican countries and disposal of their populations for military use by “Vall Street imperialism. The working class of America will not be fooled by these hypocritical Sac ronouncements. Similar “holidays” have been declared on armaments. | “he workers of America were told at the time of the Washington Naval Conference, at the time of the signing of the Kellogg Pact, at the time | when MacDonald visited the United States and the London Armament Conference was held that now there would be peace; that now there would be a holiday from the furious race for the building up of arma- ments. But the race for armaments has become more feverish; the preparations for war have gone forward by leaps and bounds. The American workers, in order to fight against the wage-cuts and unemployment at home, must fight against the conspiracy to fasten the Young Plan more firmly upon the German masses. The American workers to defeat the offensive.of the capitalist class must fight against the A. F. of L. reactionary leadership and the Socialist Party who have given their cooperation to the Hoover war plan and who at the same time are carrying on strikebreaking against the fighting miners of Pennsylvania and Ohio. They must fight side by side with the German workers who under the stalwart leadership of the Communist Party aré moving forward to liberate themselves from the fascist yoke of the Bruening government and its “socialist” allies. ‘The American working class, in order to raise themselves trom the conditions of poverty and misery, from hunger and starvation, must defeat the efforts of the bourgeoisie to plunge the working class into a war against the Soviet Union. .

They entered the city with a vic- tory to their credit. Police Chief Walsh, had launched a series of threats the day before, through the newspapers, that if these starving miners and steel workers tried to march from the city limits to West Park for the first mass meeting, he would smash them. He had out 32 riot car and hundreds of police, but when the thosands came swarming in withont money for car fares and with out the fine cars—that Walsh is just now in the hottest kind of a graft scandal ever—because pepole give such things to him for favors done; it is charged—Walsh backed down. The marchers paraded to West Park. While they were parading after the first mass meeting, a committee of 25 elected at West Park were met by 50 cops with guns and blackjacks. The County Commissioners were lunching at the William Penn, Pitts- burgh’s highest priced hotel, and “did not care to see the Committee.” Frank Borich, later reported to the thousands of workers that police threatened to “club to death” the Committee of 25 if they attempted to enter the building. The chairman at both meetings, the one before the parade and the one after, was Vincent Kemenovitch, secretary of the Central Rank and File Committee. Speakers at the first meeting were: George Powers, of the Metal Workers Industrial League; Pomfret, organiz- er of the Miners’ strike; Hellen Lynch Joe Dallet, who read for adoption the resolution and demands to be pre- |Sented to the County Commissioners, and other speakers.

Foster general secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, who made the con- cluding speech, drawing great ap- plause as he declared: “Some people are fooled by all this talk that the only way to get better conditions is by co-operating with the bosses, that the fighting policy of the National Miners Union is too ‘radical.’ “But when the UMWA, really was winning Conditions and wages for the miners, it was in the days of Mother Jones, and others like her, who led the miners in putting up a real fight for them, When did the UMWA be- gin to crumble and lose what the miners fought so hard to win? When Lewis and his like got in control and began the policy of co-operating with the bosses, saying there was no good in militant struggle. We have learned this! You never get anything with- out fighting for it! Tremendous cheering interrupted Foster at this point. Miners throughout the crowd shouted, “You bet we'll fight!” “That's the only way!” etc. “This march has proved that the striking miners realize that the in- terests of the unemployed and them~- selves are the same. Unemployed miners will refuse to scab on the strikers. Our fight is not against one another, but against the bosses! “This is the only great industrial country in the world where. workers are thrown out on the streets to starve when they are unemployed,” Foster said, speaking of the demands for unemployed insurance the County Comissioners refused to hear. “Are our demands extravagant? Ten dol- lars for every unemployed worker and $5 for each dependend? Lots of people are eating dandelions now. What will they try to make us live on in the winter, snowballs? No! We'll fight against that! “We demand of the capitalists work or else wages in the form of unemployment insurance. The capi- talist system is bankrupt. We say to them if you can't give us work or wages, get the hell out of the way and let the workers do it!" The steel workers who marched from Ambridge, McKeesport, Mc Kees Rocks, Monangahela City, New is next!
