TENANTS 70 DEMAND REDUCED RATES IN RENT One Committee Draws Up Demands Calling For Lower Rents (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK, N. Y.—The Browns- ville branch of the Tenants League hearing of the pending eviction of a -colored worker, went down to the house to investigate the case at 2074 Dean St. & We found that the tenant, Mrs. Reid, was several weeks behind “in her rent. However, she has lived in the same house for over two years: and was always prompt with her rent; when her husband was employed. We called a meeting of the ten- ants of the house and we agreed on} a list of demands to present to the landlord, Mr. Slotkin. First the ten- ants demanded that Mrs. Reid be al- lowed to remain in the house and pay the rent when she gets money. , Second, we demanded that the land- ; lord do the much needed repairs on, the house which is without either- steam or water. Third, in view of the fact that the house has so few. con- veniences, that the rent be lowered $5 a month, A committe was elected to presenti! thes? demands to the landlord. If} the landlord refuses to give in to our demands the tenants will refuse to pay rent. FORD WAGE-CUT THREAT RUMORED Cork, Ireland, Plant Gets Cut eee Dear Comrade: =e f I notice that the Ford tractor plant in Cork, Ireland, has cut wages. It has been working with a very small force for some time, but how it says it is going to open up again full blast. This is very much like what is happening here in Detroit. |. The plant is closed down, except. for a handful of workers, and most of the men laid off have had their badges taken, so that they will be 150: in Bell County and 27 from Ten- nessee lost their jobs. Deserts Miners. Then he would do nothing for the fired men and those still working came out on strike against starvation wages and in behalf of the fired com- rades, This faker also collected dues and initiation fees to the amount of $2,500 and told the men that their money was in a certain bank in Har- Jan, He also solicited aid from dif- ferent state federations of labor and other outside sources and told us we would get relief when the Inter- national Board met. No relief came to the starving miners and their families in Harlan, however. Helped Bring Guards. I can say one thing, and say it | truthfully, that Turnblazer was never any closer to Harlan than Pineville since 1928. He completely sold the miners out in Harlan and agreed on the move to call the Kentucky state guards against them. The men now are for the National Miners’ Union. Many of them have joined this union because they know it will stand by ‘ them, I was traveling through Tennessee the other day and happened upon a gathering of miners at Caryville, at & mass meeting af the National Miners’ Union. They have got four new local unions in this section and scattered members in the mines. They are overcoming the defraud of U. M. W. A. Build N. M. U. -It is now time for the miners all over-the United States to desert the John Lewis machine, Which is con- | trolled by such men as Andrew Mel- lon and Herbert Hoover, who are slashing wages all over the country. Lewis has made himself rich on the coal miners. We must desert the whole bunch of grafters: Pat Fagan, Phil Murray, Thomas Kennedy and slobbering Frank Heffetly of Tlinois and Samuel Pasco of District 30. These men are tools of the mine op- erators and they have no organiza- tion in the soft coal fields. And I | also ask the miners in the hard coal | fields to break up these bosses’ tools. They are using our hard-earned money to break strikes and cut wages. Let us all get into the N. M. U. and make it one of the largest unions ‘in the United States. It is also time for the workers engaged in other in- dustries to get into a union that stands for the rights of the workers, a-union affiliated with the Trade Union Unity League.

Referring to the leader of the new “opposition,” Arthur Henderson, close associate of MacDonald before the present change of government, Seldon writes: “Before that (labor) cabinet went to pieces, even Mr. Henderson was willing to agree to some cut in un- employment insurance in order to save the country’s credit.” And now Henderson, whose policy coincided with MacDonald’s in a smashing drive against the workers, now issues hypocritical statements about “effective resistance” against the government. That Henderson is working closely with the same “financial interests” whom MacDonald es- Pouses is shown by the visit paid by the United States Secretary of State Stimson te Arthur Hender- son after Stimson visited MacDon- ald. The capitalist press, to pro- tect Henderson, says this conver- sation was for “old time's” sake. The New York Times says that Stimson visited “Arthur Hender- son, with whom Mr. Stimson’s per- sonal relations had been too friendly to be interrupted by the recent upset in British politics, as a result of which Mr. Henderson finds ttimself no longer a member of the British government.” . Thus the leader of the new op- position” not only agrees with the fundamental program of MacDon- ald, but has “friendly relations,” “for old time’s sake.” with the Wall Street representative. Every worker. has the right to ask the “Social- ists” what new plans of attack they talked over with Stimson in pri- vate? What is the meaning of the hypoeritieal manifestos issued by the labor party executive? Don’t Want Strikes. Nowhere does the labor party manifesto call on the workers to strike against wage-cuts or to resist the attack on unemployment insur- ance by any form of action on the part of the workers. The whole “re- sistance” will be within the domain of parliament, where the National government will, with its majority of votes put through its program with- out any resistance from the labor party leaders. The growing seriousness of the British financial crisis is further at- tested to by the arrangement for a loan or credit of $500,000,000 from Wall Street and France. In the United States, J. P. Morgan & Co. is organizing a syndicate to float the Joan, while in France the bankers Plan issuing bonds. President Hoover arranged a special meeting with leading Wall Street bankers to discuss not only the Brit- ish situation, but the growing fi- nancial crisis in the United States, with the increase in bank failures. ‘The meeting of bankers at the White House was called at the behest of Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, who has just returned from Europe, Others present were: Charles S. McCain, chairman of the board of the Chase National Bank; George W. Davison, president of the Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., and William C. Potter, president of the Guaranty Trust Co. Philadelphia Bank Crash. Just before the conference Hoover talked to officials of the Bankers Trust Co. of Philadelphia, a $50,- 000,000 bank that went bankrupt some time ago. There is no doubt that the bankers discussed the grow- ing bank failures in the United States and the fact that the largest bank crashes have not been liqui- dated yet. It is significant that all the capitalist newspapers on Friday omit the news of Hoover's discussion on U. S. bank failures. The only statement Hoover would make is that “genere! business conditions” were being discussed. ‘There is little doubt that the dis- cussion involved also the attac’: against the American unemrloyed who are demanding relief—a demond that will grow a hundredfold with the coming winter—as well as the ~restion of attack against the Brit- ‘sh workers by financial pressure veinst unemployment insurance, “¥th ta Sneak at Youth Roly at Gardner, Mass. “*RDNER, Mass.

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 29, 1931 NINE MINE STRIKERS CONVICTED IN CANONSBURGH, PA, CASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED only Pat Fagan’s gunmen and the witnesses were allowed to be spec- tators — and only the prosecution witnesses at that, drew their black- jacks and rushed at Adam Getto, National Miners Union member who had slipped in. Getto was engaged in the absolutely forbidden act of watching the trial of a fellow work- er while he waited for his own case to be called. He is indicted for pick- eting early in the strike. The tip- staves violently drovee Getto from the courtroino, then police arrested him in the corridor and charged him with threatening Sheriff Seaman of Washington county. The charge was so ridiculous that they had to release him a couple of hours later. The same action was taken toward Mike Tarras, jailed with Getto in the cor- ridor, evidently just to show the coal operators that their servants, the tipstaves and police were doing their full measure of duty. The International Labor Defense representative Gaal was threatened, bullied, and shadowed. Though it is a rule of law in Penn- sylvania that the jury is “judge of the law and the facts” and a magis- trate can not monkey with the evid- ence, the judge in an hour long speech to the jury summed up as fact, all the charges made by the prosecution, barely mentioned that th defenddnts denied these charges, warned the jury not to’ pay much attention to the many witnesses in- troduced by Peter Wagner ‘to prove an alibi, and then himself, as judge, sitting on the bench and charging RUSSIAN MUTUAL AID CONVENTION Prepare Union of Four Fraternal Orders The convention of the Russian Mutual Aid Society, one of the four organizations in the amalgamation campaign, will open in New York City, on Sept 6. 1931. ‘The question of amalgamation will be one of the most important prob- lems that will occupy the attention of the delegates. From reports and discussion in the press it is. clearly evident that it will be unanimously carried as was the case at the past conventions of the IWO and. the ungarian Sick Benefit Society. To bring before the delegates a clear picture of the benefits of the unified organization at a huge mass affair has been arranged for the opening of the convention, with the collaboration of the three other or- ganizations, This mass opening will be held on Saturday, September 5 at the Cen- tral Opera House, 205 East 67th St., ‘New York City at 8 p. m. An elaborate international program has been ar- ranged in which members of all four organizations, Russian Mutual Aid Society, International Workers Order, Slovak Workers Society and Hun- garian Sick Benefit Society will take part. Every branch and eevry member of these organizations will take an ac- tive part in this mass opening. Branches in New York and imme- diate vicinity will come with their standards or flags. Prominent speakers will address the gathering, that will be truly in- ternational in scope. Tickets are only 25 cents and may be had at the following places: Novy Mir, 35 East 12th St., International Workers Order, 32 Union Square, Czechoslovak Workers House, 347 E. ‘and Street, and Hungarian Workers Home, 350 East 8lst Street, all in New York City, HOLD OUTING OF FOREIGN BORN Must Combat Attack and Persecution To raise funds for tinuing | fight against th, depo: .ation of mil- itant workers aua to .ave those who are already involw.l in Geportaiion | proceedings, New York Committee for the Protectiun of the Foreign Born will hold an excursion to Hook Mountain on the steamer Miramar. | on Sunday, September 6.

Monsy ts needsc ) resis: thos E sy wok- with a job should come to the ex- aslo ! the jury, introduced evidence that the prosecution had forgotten to either place in evidence or mention in its argument to the jury. “It's easy to concoct an alibi, therefore the jury must not take at | face value the statements of witnes- ses thta Peter Wagner and Edgar Greene were not at the scene of the riot,” said the judge. Thoroughout his instructions to the jury, the judge simply assumed that there was a riot, and spoke of the whole Curry field incident as a “riot.” Then he showed the jury that the riot meant there was an unlawful assembly, and that this presupposed a conspiracy, “which need not have been made at Backs field, where the N.M.U. was meeting before marching to Curry field, the scene of the riot — the conspiracy might have been hatched in Pitts- burgh.” The only evidence the pro- secution had offered of any “conspir- acy” was lies about what Leo Thomp- son and Stella Rasefsky said at Becks field. The judge did not men- tion as of any importance the fact that after hearing these speeches, the whole police force of Canons- burg escourted the marching miners to Curry feild. The evidence the judge introduced was @ photograph of the march in which, as he pointed out to the jury, there were signs saying: “Down with the United Mine Workers of Am- erica.” The judge stated in full detail the charges and summarized as facts the lies of the prosecution against each of the defendants, then merely stated, “the defendant denies this,” without giving any of the volu ous evidence of the defense to show that the prosecution witnesses were lying. But probably the most amazing piece of fraudulent testimony was that placed in evidence by District Attorney Burchinal after both pro- secution and defense had “rested.” The prosecutor suddenly remembered that he had not much evidence to show that Stella Rasefske was at the head of the parade. So he dug up a picture of the parade, and while the judge waited patiently, went down and picked out one of Fagan’s thugs, brought him up to the coun sel's table, openly pointed out to him the person in the picture he wanted the thug to say was Stella, and put him on the stand to testify to it. The Fagan man made a hash of it, by placing himself so far away he could not possibly have seen Stella. Nothing daunted, Burchinal halted proceedings again, went down in the audience, picked out another gang- ster, held a lengthy conference with him, brought him inside the bar, pointed out without even a pretense of concealing his actions the right figure for the man to identify, and put this second fellow on the stand to testify he was only fifty feet from Stella, and saw her. All objections to this, and to the judge’s charge to the jury, were overruled. The defense placed six witnesses on the stand Thursday, of whom two, Frank Ferlich and Mike Premero corroborated other-defense witnesses of the day before as to what took place at Becks field, and two, Dome- nick Andrejezyk and Milan Yakrlin did the same in regard to Curry field, Stella Rasefske testified, denying the statements made about her by Prosecution witnesses. The judge was alert to prevent her stating what it was all about, but she managed to mention a fragment of her speech, proving the strike-breaking charac- ter of the U.M.W.A. This was strick- en from the record by Judge Cum- ming, whose theory in the trial is that it is all right to abuse the N.M. U., but nothing must be said against the U.M.W. Stella fully corroborated other de- fense witnesses as to the opening of the attack on the N.M.U. members who marched to Curry field to de- nounce Fagan’s scabbery. Nine year old Wanda Rasefske, daughter of Anna and sister of Stel- la Rasefske (both defendants in this trial) tetsified in corroboration of her mother’s testimony, that Anna had not been at Beck's field, that they went to Curry field to pick up Stella and take her to a picnic, that Wanda was separated from her mother when they arrived at Curry field after the N.M.U. had marched off, thta a U. M. W. man pointed Anna out to a state trooper just as he found Wanda. The ,U.M.W.A. henchman said to the trooper: “Ar- ess that weman, she's got a big mouth too!” And from that momen‘ to this, Anna was a prisoner. During the first days of the trial no provision was made for the jury by the court as to housing. Th: moment the newspapers bézan tr quote the defense witnesses testi mony, the jury was isolated by : Gecision of Judge Cummins that th: ought to have hotel rocms. “YOUN Order the above YOUNG P.
