Pending relief measures: @|\WWork Out Practical|/ Workers Immediate Demands For All Workers NEW YORK.—Rallying the em- ployed and unemployd pocketbook- makers, who by an overwhelming vote ousted the right wing Musteite officialdom at a recent membership meeting, the Rank and File Commit- tee and the Committee of 25 of the Unemplyoed have called a mass meeting today at 5:30 p.m. at the | Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Pl. Telling the purpose of the meet- ing, a leaflet issued by the Rank and File Committee says: “The membership of our union has voted to oust the present ad- ministration. The cliques that now dominate our Union will try to stay in office against the wish of the members. We must force them to proceed immediately with the eleetions.” ‘The corrupt officials, knowing that the majority of the union stand sol- idly against them, are now attempt- ing to hold the offices and collect the high salaries for as long a time as they can hold on. Rank and File Plans Plans for an immediate election of a rank and file administration, res- ponsive to the needs of the workers and unemployed in the trade, and practical measures affording imme- diate relief of the jobless will be discussed at the meeting. Tied up with these immediate questions will be the basic question of an organ- ized campaign against worsening conditions in the shops and union- ization of the open shops in the trade. Reduction of the large salaries of the officials of the union to the level of the average working wage will be an immediate demand that will be put into practice by the rank and file committee. “Only a Rank and File admin- istration can protect our union standards in the shops and also help the unemployed” the leaflet issued states. Warning against the renewed ac- tivities of the Shiplacoff-socialist clique was made by the rank and file committee. The danger of this group in using demagogic socialist talk to swing the workers away from the main task of the installation of a rank and file administration and adoption of immediate practical de- mands for both the working and job- less workers, was pointed out by the committee.

J., Aug. 24.—Two thousand workers demonstrated Sat- urday, August 22, at 1:30 p.m. against discrimination against Negroes at Front and Livingston Streets out- side the Dowd Swimming Pool. A cordon of plainclothesmen assisted by a gang of hoodlums and mis- guised workers under the leadership of Captain Winklemann and the provocateur, George Zekers, once a member of the Unemployed Council, Several workers were knocked un- conscious by the black jacks of the police. A shower of apples and tomatoes was thrown by the gang of hoodlums organized by police from the second precinct, from the roof where the provocateur Zekers lives. The dem- onstration had been called by the Communist Party, Young Communist League and League for Struggle for Negro Rights, as one of the demon- strations now being organized in many cities to smash discrimination against Negroes. For the past two weeks five open air meetings were held, including one at the Singer Sewing Machine Co. with an aver- age attendance of 450 workers. The police realizing the growing unity of the Negro and white work- ers to smash the discrimination In the Swimming Pool, have been busy organizing the underworld in Bliza- beth to attack this demonstration, The attack on Saturday aftrenoon was well organized. Two plain clothes men directed the attack from the roof with a gang throwing showers of tomatoes and apples prepared on the 4th floor where George Zekers live. A group of 4 automobiles cir- cled around the speakers stand blow- ing horns and driving to disrupt the meeting. Police joined the hoodlums and at- tacked the workers who were defend- ing themselves well. The police slug- ged the wrokers right and left with their black jacks, splitting workers’ heads and knocking them unconsci- ous, The Communist Pariy aad the YCL and LSNR will continue their organization of the workers in Eliz- abeth and other towrs to smash dis- crimination and Jim-Crowism.

At the mass meeting of the strik- ers this morning Lena Chernenko pointed out the meaning of Satur- day's arrests of the strike leaders at the demonstration, The attack on the demonstration was another move of the bosses aided by the police to destroy the picket line of the work- ers. The answer of the strikers must be more determined struggle, more militant picket lines, still greater fighting spirit against the bosses and their agents, the cops and the UTW- Associated fakers, In sentencing the sixteen workers last week with no jail alternative the judge stated that he would be more strict in the future, indicating that the court, like the police, will attack the workers more viciously, The in- creased brutality on the part of the bosses’ agents is due to the fact that the militancy of the workers is hold- ing the picket lines against them and for decent conditions. The judge threatened that he would give sentences up to a year in jail and increase the fines to $175 under the disorderly conduct statute. By his question at the trial about the RILU, Communism, etc. the judge tried to make the workers believe that the struggle is not one for bet- ter conditions. The workers of Pat- erson know that the Communists have been the most militant fight- ers on the picket line and in the or- ganization of the strike. Tuesday morning at 10 aan. there will be a special strike rally in the ‘Turn Hall for the purpose of electing a delegation to-investigate the Allen- town situation. A special invitation has been issued to the strikers who are out under the UTW-Associated to participate in the election of the united front committee to visit Al- lentown. William Z. Foster, general secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, and leader of the great coal strike now going on, will speak at the meeting. In order to be able to sell out the Paterson workers striking under its misleadership as they did the Allentown strikers, the A. F. of L. unions are trying at all costs to prevent unity between all strikers. While the picket line of the NTWU of 122 strikers was picketing the Eagle Mill the ABL line of 12 work- ers was picketing the Magnus Mill on the same block. The strikers on the NTWU picket line sent a delega- the OF AMERICA to celebrate the successful Dafly YOUR WORK—YOUR PRIDE! NOT LONG AGO A MINIATURE UNITY, NEAR PEEKSKILL, ON A MEASLEY, HIRED HILL.

Laks, the misleader of the AFL picket line and a renegade from the Communist Party and chairman of the AFL settlements committee which has been planning It all of the fake settlements drove the ; delegation away. He did this despite the fact that some of the workers on his own picket Ine wanted to unite both lines. One of the workers on the AFL line joined the NTWU line. The NTWU line gradually lengthened in order to bring about a real merg- ing of the lines by direct contact and by convincing the workers. This had almost succeeded when Laks, fearing that his workers would join the other line, withdrew them from picketing although it was not even 1 o'clock yet. The workers of the Arbus and the Brown shops have united into one group in order to prevent scabbinb on each other. The Arbus shop does work on commission for the Brown plant and the bosses are trying to get the workers of the commission shop to scab on the strikers of the Brown shop. The united group of workers will picket the other commission shops that are doing work for Brown in order to get solidarity with them and prevent scabbinb. The Brown strikers, will hold a shop meeting Tuesday, August 25, at the Turn Hall at 9 am. The Newtex shop with thirty work- ers, has signed in agreement with the United Front General Strike }Committee granting every one of the cemands of the strikers and recogniz- ing the NTWU. The majority of the workers of this shop are members of the NTWU, while a few are unor- ganized.

A check-up was made of the ten mills n the city. Every one of them was found run- ning while some of them start at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. as previously. Although the AFL claims that they have settled 52 shops they refuse to give out the name of one. The reason’ is that most of them are probably as true as the ribbon strike, They are : afraid to give out the names of those | they did settle for fear that the workers will come out again against the fake settlement under the leader- ship of the United Front General Strike Committee and the National Textile Workers Union. Despite the rain Sunday many workers participated in the house to house collection for relief for the silk strikers. A mass meeting will be held Tuesday night for the purpose of starting a national drive for relief for the strikers many of whom are desti- tute. The meeting is being held un- der the joint auspices of the Relief Committee of the United Front General Strike Committee and the Workers International Relief. Marcel Sherer, General Secretary of the Workers International Relief will be the main speaker. i AMUSEMENTS oo DOUBLE FEATURE WEEK World Premiere “T AM from SIAM” = m 42nd ST. and NOW «€ AME BROADV.
