AY, —= GIRLS IN CANONSBURG CAN FACTORY BEGIN TO BUILD METAL LEAGUE Speed-up Increases Manyfold; Pay Slashed All Along the Line; Factory Unclean Dissatisfaction Spreads Organization Started On the Job Through Factory; Daily Worker: Cannonsburg, Pa. We girls in the Continental Can Factory in Cannonsburg have to work like regular slaves. The bosses give us more work than we can do and always tell us to hurry up. It used to be that one girl worked, one press. Now we have to operate two or three apiece. The coater girls used’ to sort out of one coater. Now they have to sort out of two. The packers used to pack off of four ma- chines. Now they have six. We used to get one extra helper and now we have no extra helpers. We have to work faster and faster all the time, The woman labor law is a joke in our factory. We are not supposed to work over ten hours at the most, according to the law. We are sup- “posed to get 15 minutes rest in the morning and 15 minutes in the aft- ernon. “But most of the time we don’t get it and we work all kinds of hours. Wage Cuts The company is cutting our wages very cleverly. Girls who used to work here last year for $14 a week were hired this year for $13. And now they have to work twice as hard and many times faster than last vear. Unsanitary The company is so busy making (eRe Sy Sees money on us that it does nothing to improving the sanitary conditions of the factory. The rest rooms and toilets are filthy and unsanitary just because the company is too greedy to hire an extra girl to keep the Place clean. Forced Buying It is not enough that we are forced to work for low wages, but the com- pany finds ways to take our wages away from us. We are forced to buy the goods for our uniforms from the company at 38 cents a yard when in the other stores one can get even better goods for 19 cents a ward. The bosses cheat us mercilessly and if we refuse to buy from the company we are as good as fired. We girls are dissatisfied here. But we realize that the only way to get better conditions in the factory is for us to stick together. We are build- ing the Metal Workers Industrial League in the factory and no matter what the bosses do to scare us away, we will go on organizing and put up a fight for better conditions. —A Woman Worker. Grafters Loot Detroit Welfare Fund Detroit, Mich. Dear Comrades! The City Of Detroit has spent many millions of dollars for welfare relief, but who is getting it? Two weeks ago one grafter by the name of Lewis was sent to the peni- tentiary for having stolen $200,000; later on another bird was caught with a few thousands in his pockets and now. along comes he case of George Asmar, whose cousin the Rev. Elias P, Asmar recommended this thief for a leading position on the welfare. It is now being traced whether this priest of the St. Marion Roman “Catholic church was not splitting up his cousin’s loot. Of course this*priest as long as he is wearing -his collar with the front pinned backwards does not have to be shadowed by the police; it is the Communists that have to be watched. And our great Mayor Murphy had hundreds ot police in the Grand Cir- cus Park last Saturday night, when 20,000 workers honored Sacco and Vanzetti. Not only that, but the Sal- vation Army had there two brass bands in one corner of the park, who were playing constantly so as to break up our demonstration. Fortun- ately our speaker could not be both- ered. And when these maniacs saw that their idea did not work, they decided to go around the park, stop- ping all traffic with the assistance of the cops, and kept on playing; the crov'ds began to jeer and boo them, while the police rushed to make a cordon so as to block the onrushing and meddened workers. It was the appeal of the speakers that only helped to avoid a bloodshed. : F. Ss. .Tampa Workers Respond to T. U. U. L. Call. Tampa, Fla. Daily Worker: The workers are responding to the call here in Tampa. Last night the selectors were holding a meeting in the Spanish Labor Temple about their rights to have jobs in the fac- tories. Since they are on strike they haye held minor meetings, but this night “fey were holding a mass meeting without any leadership. One of our leading comrades of the Trade Union Unity League, a Latin speaking comrade, got up on the platform and spoke thru the “mike” demanding that the workers give him the support, that he might speak. The selectors got up and tried to get him down off the plat- form, but the workers protested and ‘they Had" td let him speak until he was thru. The meeting proceeded for a while. Then when another comrade got up and tried to speak, the selectors did not let Him finish, but threw him off the platform. At that the workers got up and chased the selectors off the platform. The selectors took their mike with them, but that didn’t make any difference the workers crowded into the Labor Temple. The streets were blocked and automobiles couldn't pass. The meeting lasted until 11:30 p.m. ‘Then our comrades got out on the streets and went parading two blocks singing the International. —V. R, | * . Mass Pressure Wins in Terre Haute Daily Worker: In Terre Haute the constables working for the big furniture dealers and the landlords are just putting up a big bluff. They threaten and try to scare the poor people who have no jobs. Some of the people fall for their line, but we wish to tell everyone— we are waiting for an eviction case so we can handle it. The fact is that the constables are scared and all they can do is to bluff their way through, One constable has quit, saying that he {s not putting anyone out of their homes. The unemployed should learn from this that when mass pressure is brought to bear these petty minded constables can do nothing. Build the Unemplyoed Council and the Trdae Union Unity League and support these fights against evic- tions. In Terre Haute we also made a restaurant man at 19th and Mape take his jim-crow sign down. These struggles must go on. We have made a good start now. Let's build up a strong League of Struggle for Ne- gro Rights. —L. M. N. Y. Luggage Workers Start Rank and File Movement i (By a Farmer Correspondent.) NEW YORK.—The rank and file workers of the suitcase, bag and portfolio trades, at a meeting at the Manhattan Lyceum on August 26, discussed the intolerable conditions of the workers.in the shops, One after the other the workers took the floor and pointed out how the bosses have a free hand to bring down the wage standards to ever lower levels. The workers discuss~ ing the situation pointed out the necessity of electing a committee of rank and file workers for struggle against the worsening conditions. ‘Two Lovestonites who were on the platform agreed with the socialists against any rank and file committee outside the right wing unions. The workers, however, did not listen to them and’ a committee of 15 rank and file workers was elected. The rank and file committee will have its first meeting in a few days to work out a program of action. The workers from the trade should pop- ularize the rank and file committee and make it a real force for the bosses to reckon with. Boss: Beats Workers On Job; Organize and Fight Back : HAYWARD, Cal.—Robertino, an owner of a large apricot grove as well as owner of other property here, knocked down and cruelly beat up one of the twenty men picking apri- cots in one of his groves near Hay- ward. It came about as a result of an attempt on the part of he boss to speed up the pickers who are mostly Spanish and Mexicans, _ The boss whois of large arid pow- erful build threatened the men tell- ing them they must speed up faster or they would get their time, One said, “In that case, give me my check.” Whereupon the boss met him the ladder, kicking end beating until he was almost unconscious, He was confined to his bed for many days. ‘The worker after getting his money tried to hire a lawyer in San Lean- dro to prosecute.the brute of a boss. The lawyer readily agreed to sue, but after a visit from Robertino ex- plained to the worker that nothing could be done and that he had bet- ter try to forget the matter. Many Hayward workers know this boss and it is rumored that this is Need of Militancy Seen Among Small Cotton Farmers HILLSBORO, Texas, Aug. 27.— Cotton is selling at $5.50 a hundred pounds at the gins; cotton pickers work for 35 cents a hundred. It is a very good picker who can gather 250 to 300 pounds a day. Many chil- dren from six years and up work in the cotton fields, They are small, thin, undersized kids. Riding with a farmer along the highway I asked him about condi- tions and he said they were bad. “What is the trouble, anyhow?” I in- quired. “Well, I tell you.” he said, “the big fellows hve all the money and they hold down the poor.” “When will the crisis end?” was the next question. “You mean what this will end up in?” “There is only one way in which this will be settled. There will be a war between the rich and the poor.” He was emphatic on this point . ‘The idea among the farmers that a war is coming between the classes is not at all new, but rather wide- spread. MACDONALD ADVISED AN “OPPOSITION” (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) and giving MacDonald and the “op- position” credit for their wiley tac- tics in attempting to fool the work- ers, says: “When the late (Labor) govern- ment went to smash the Prime Minister advised all his younger followers in subordinate posts to stick to the Labor party if they wished to safeguard their political futures.” In fact, all of the members of MacDonald's government who wanted to follow him took MacDonald's ad- vice that they could serve capital- ism best within the “opposition,” ex- cept Malcolm MacDonald, who will receive his reward now with an “un- dersecretaryship.” Oust Thomas. That it is becoming more difficult for the Labor Party swindlers to fool the workers, despite their glib phrases or their “opposition” fakery, is shown by the comment of the New York Times on what the work- ers in England think of J. H. Thomas, one of MacDonald’s cronies in the present government. The Times re- ports: “For many years Mr. Thomas has been too successful in associating with employers to suit British workmen, The union men thought Mr. Thomas wore his evening clothes too often, although he al- ways told them his sole. purpose in going to big dinners was to con- vert his fellow diners to the gospel of big wages for railway men.” The social-fascist role of the en- tire Labor party, and the sham split, designed consciously between Mac- Donald and the members of the “opposition” to mislead the work- ers, is fore and more revealing the role of the Socialists in aiding capl- talism, when necessary, to establish its open dictatorship in order to save the capitalist structure. That the new government ts di- rected exclusively against the work- ers, and that all the talk of Mac- Donald about “equal burdens” was so much camouflage under which & smashing drive would be undertaken by the new government, is further shown by the fact that the only def- inite proposal yet made by the com- bined forces of British capitalism is that a 10 per cent cut in unemploy- ment insurance showld take place. They find it difficult to work out plans to make it appear that the capitalists are to be taxed, without any actual increase in taxes being imposed. Promises and Deeds. How the Labor party, with its So- cialist leaders, fooled the workers into voting for them by the promise that unemployment insurance not only would not be cut, but would be increased, and then later agreed to cuts in unemployment insurance, 1s now clearly exposed. It is significant that the present “opposition” is try- ing to cover up its role as conspira- tor in agreeing to unemployment in- only one of the many cases of bru- tality to his credit. » Workers, organize to fight back such bosses. Organize into the Agri- cultural Workers Industrial Union, which will take care of such matters in a militant way, surance slashes. What They Promised. ‘The Election Program of the La- bor Party of 1929, when it bid for power and offered the workers all sorts of promises to vote for it, de- clared: “The Labor Party’s plan for un- employment is to provide work; but pending the absorption of the unemployed in regular occupations it will take steps to relieve the present distress. It will also amend the Unemployed Insurance Act so as to afford more generous maintenance of the unemployed, and will remove those qualifica- tions which deprive them of pay- ments to which they are entitled.” So much for the promise. What are the facts? Unemployment insur- ance is now being cut, with the full agreement of the entire Labor party leadership. Unemployment has in- creased beyond all previous records, despite the promise of more work. And, further still, the Socialists in and out of the government are pre- paring the fascist distatorship against the rising resentment and action of the workers. That the new government will take on more fascist forms and does not intend to dissolve so quickly is again confirmed by latest news dis- patches. Promises of new elections are gradually being withdrawn, In tach the pew govexmmens da now promised bi~ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) of crime in the community. Over eighteen cases of robbery, burglary and hold-ups have been reported during the past week in the three Police stations located in the dis- trict... . “All of these crimes of violence, plus many others which occur on the streets, in the parks and in homes, and which are not reported, are by many held to be the direct result of desperation on the part of men who are unable to find jobs, wifo are not eligible for char- ity under the present conditions, and who turn to crime rather than starve or sleep in the parks.” The Whip admits that the flood of fake promises of relief made by the city government and the social agencies have led to no “practical plan of immediate relief for the widespread suffering.” This organ of the Negro petty-bourgeois has, however, no word of condemnation for the capitalist system, responsible for this mass suffering, nor any word of support for the struggle led by the Communist Party and the Unemployed Council, for immediate relief and the payment of social in- surance by the bosses ahd their gov- ernment.

INUED FROM PAGE ONE) with modifications, in the draft pro- gram for the relief of the European crisis which will be submitted to the full European Union Commission on ‘Thursday , The proposals of Litvinov were similar in substance to the general recommendations of a committee of ecenomic experts which were also submitted yesterday. So long as the economists of the capitalist powers make recommendations for the “wid- est possible collaboration of the na~ tions of Europe in the sense of mak- ing Europe a single market for the products of any and every nation” these powers can ignore it. But when TRY TO SHELVE THE SOVIET ECONOMIC PLAN AT GENEVA the Soviet Union makes these pro- posals the capitalist powers are forced to take acocunt of them, even though they do delay action on them, and though they may be determined to prevent any of them ever being realized. The proposals of the Soviet Union indicate to the masses of the world that the Soviet Union is the only power which can sincerely make pro- posals for non-aggression, both econ- omic and military, and be prepared to carry them out, Eyery such pro- posal on the part of one of the cap- italist powers, however, is an attempt to hide the true character of the present imperialist rivalries and an- tagonisms from the working class through hypocritical phrases, (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) their attempts to disrupt the mass defense movement which alone has blocked their murderous intentions to date. In this direction they are be- ing supported by the white ruling class of the entire country, and by white labor fakers and Negro Uncle Tom reformists north and south. The terror campaign of the bosses against the Negro masses and the Communist Party is accompanied by ever widen- ing attacks by the labor fakers and Negro reformists on the mass move- ment to free the boys. In this city, the boss newspapers jhave just given a great send-off to a@ new Negro publication, “The Col- ored Employee,” whose announced program is to “combat the inroads of Communism in the race.” This pa- per is edited by Milton 8. Hampton, a notorious tool of the local bosses. In its first issue, “The Colored Em- ployee” speaks sneeringly of “the fancied grievances” of the oppressed Negro people, and openly declares in the following words its allegiance to the white ruling class: “We believe in the South and don’t give a hang who knows it.” Hampton then goes on to attack the revolutionary movement which is uniting white and Negro workers for the necessary fight against starva- tion and against Negro oppression. ‘The white boss press gleefully quotes his attack, as follows: “There are sinister persons, move- ments, and organizations stalking through the South spréading a doctrine of hate, unrest and dissatis- faction, holding up fancies griev- ances and promising any and every- thing to the Negro if he only ‘joins’ Fortunately the Negro is awake and refuses to be ‘shoved’ into the new fangled doole-lum-bums by »the professional pocket pickers and hat passers.” While peddling his slander against girding itself for a whole series of at- tacks against the workers in the guise of “keeping the credit saved.” Concerning these facts, the New York Times’ cable from London re- ports: “Under the circumstances the Predictions of a brief interval of office for the new government, fol- lowed by an early general election, only of saving the nation’s but of keeping it saved.” MacDonald refuses t oresign from the Labor party, declaring he is carrying out “Socialist” policy in helping the bankers and other ex- ploiters save their profits at the ex- pense of the workers. However, if the labor party finds it necessary to ditch him in order to keep up its ap- pearance of “opposition,” the capi- talists will give MacDonald a peer- age and a seat in the House of Lords, which they have already ALA. BOSSES DELAY SCOTTSBORO ACTION HOPING WORKERS FORGET the working class movement, this be- trayer of the struggles of the Negro masses conceals the fact that the money for the publication of “The Colored Employee” has been fur- nished by the white boss lynchers. SOVIET STEEL PLANT NEARS COMPLETION | Bolsheviki “Lead As 5 Year Plan Pushes Forward The structural work on the giant Magnitogorsk steel works will in all probability be completed by October 1 as originally scheduled, according to the New York Times correspon- dent, Walter Duranty. He points out that no matter what the diffi- culties have been, the building of the Magnitogorsk works will succeed just as the construction of the Stalingrad tractor plant and the Kuznets steel plant have succeeded. ‘The tractors produced in the Stal- ingrad tractor plant “compare fay- orably with the American Interna- tional Harvester model,” according to foreign experts. Duranty in re- calling the history of the construc- tion of the Kuznets plant states that the speed of the construction, taking the situation into consideration, “can challenge Gary itself,” and Gary has been the supreme effort of capitalist America, The success of the Five Year Plan has been due first and foremost, Duranty states, to “the hardness of will and clearness of purpose—and self confidence” of the Bolsheviki, the leaders of the Russian workers and peasants. in’ the fulfillment of the Five Year Plan. In the construction of these plants the Soviets have taken advantage of all the capitalist countries had to offer in the way of technical pro- gress, including foreign advisers. Duranty sums up the construction of the Magnitogorsk plant in the following words: “The sum and moral of the whole episode is that high Soviet executives know what they want and go after it hard and fearless of the word “impossible.” It may be the steel work will be a few days late, but not many. It may be the workers are badly housed and fed, it may be the quality of some of, their work is faulty, it may be critics think Magnitogorsk too big to chew. But there are hundreds of thousands of men _ working like beavers where two years ago there was a barren steppe, and the plant is being built and 3,000,000 tons of ore with 60 per cent content already ~ haze tale Beet and @ atope tren | speronchen, ; SEPTEMBER Z, 1931 Su ol ye International Youth Day Meetings .

Salt Green Objects to Chi. for Convention of AFL Fat Boys;Picks Canada CHICAGO, Ill. — William Green, president of the A. F. of L., decided that the A.

The Chicago Federation of Labor had asked Mr. Green to trans- fer the meeting to Chicago, so as to dea] with the problem of unemploy- ment “on the ground.” But Green does not recognize the problem anyway and besides hotel, and auditorium reservations in Can- ada have already been made, so it would really be too inconvenient to upset all these arrangements just be- cause some ten million men and wo- men are unemployed here, thinks Mr. Green, So the Chicago Federa- tion will go on with its own plans to “solve” the unemployment. situ- ation to offset the prestige of the Unemployed Councils and Trade Union-Unity League, is rising on the hillside for Russla’s new Gary.” ‘The capitalists have tried to prove on the basis of the difficulties which have arisen from time to time in the gigantic construction that the Soviet Union is engaged in that the Five Year Plan would not succeed. The unparalleled steps forward in the Five Year Plan have given the lie to all of these capitalist lies. Duranty sums this up when he says that despite all of the difficulties “they get things done, and gradually, little by little, order begins to appear out of chaos.” In the Soviet Union the planned economy brings forth greater and greater achievements, while in the capitalist countries the chaos be- comes ever greater, the crisis deepens ever more and millions of additional workers and peasants are left to starve as the third winter of havea ™~ ’ All North Africa Reported i in Revolt Against Imperialism Strict Censorship Covers Murderous Attacks By Italian, French, Spanish Imperialists NEW YORK.—A vast revolution- ary movement aimed at smashing imperialist control and oppression ir sweeping all North Africa, according to a dispatch from London to the Chicago Tribune. The dispatch de- clares “An extraordinary and circum- stantial report has reached London that the entire North African lit- toral is in a state of fermert, and that French, Italian and Spanish troops are busy putting down re- volts.” The dispatch further states that the Italian fascist government is using airplanes, tanks and heavy ar- | tillery against the African revolu- tionaries. The British imperialists in Egypt are co-operating with their fellow imperialist murderers and are holding as prisoners whole tribes which retreated across the Sudan- Cyrenaica/ border before the Italian attack. In Tunisia, which is held by the French imperialists, there have been fierce attacks against the Huropean settlements. Morocco is again in open revolt, with the native tribes repudiating the treacherous agree- ment with the French imperialists made by Abd-el-Krim at the time he betrayed the struggles of the natives and surrendered to the French. The | Spanish Foreign Legion is attacking native forces in the Tadla region. All North Africa is under a strict censorship, with the French, Span- ish and Italian imperialists trying to cover up their crimes against the heroic North African natives who are fighting for national independence and freedom from the imperialist robbers and oppressors eS Ae The revolutionary movement is not confined to North Africa, but is | Spreading throughout the entire con- tinent. In the Belgian Congo sev- eral uprisings have occurred. News |of these uprisings, seeping through a strict censorship, show that the na- tives, although poorly armed, are putting up a heroic struggle. The crew of the DO-X, which re- cently arrived in New York, brought news of a revolt in Portuguese West Africa, where a censorship prevented such news from getting out before. According to the report of the crew of the DO-X, martial law had been established at Bohama and in the Bubaque Islands, Portuguese West Africa, Because of the feared effect on the Negro populations groaning un- der the oppression of the various imperialist governments, the imper- ialists are frantically trying to sup- press the news of these revolutionary events in Africa.

LABOR DAY WEEKEND SEPT. 5, Philadelphia is holding a_ a “great | Camp Outing on Sept. 5, 6 and 7, Labor Day week-end, at the Workers’ International Relief Camp at Lum- berville, Pa., for the benefit of the Daily Worker and Morning Freiheit. A splendid program has been ar- ranged, including Bill Gropper, Red Cartoonist; the Freiheit Chorus; a five-piece dance orchestra; a Camp Fire, and many other attractions. The cost to workers for the three days, including seven meals and two nights’ sleep is only $5 per person. Round trip transportation on Nevin busses will be $1. Busses will leave 929 Arch St. Saturday at 3 p.m. and Sunday at 9 a.m. All workers in the vicinity of Philadelphia and Lumber- ville are urged to take advantage of the above occasion and spend a real country week-end with plenty of rest, relaxation and fun. Remem- ber the dates: Sept. 5, 6 and 7, next Saturday, Sunday and Monday. “Please start sending me a*bundle ‘of 10° Daily Workers every day,” writes S. E.

These will cost 1 cent each and remittances can be made every week after papers are sold. Elgin red hot by Christmas, sounds good to us. What about bundle orders from other workers in the United States. We are ready to send a bundle at above rate to any address in the country. Build Workers’ Correspondence. If the Daily Worker is to become a very effective mass organ, we in the National Office must have sugges- tions, criticism and workers’ corre- spondence from the field. Without’ 6, 7! ALL INVITED! this collective work the Daily Worker cannot become a real paper of the workers. The Daily Worker Club is . the chief instrument for building up this collective co-operation between those in the field and the central of- fice of the Daily Worker. These clubs do not have to be very large. Small groups of workers in shops or those working close together can form themselves into clubs and send in criticism and suggestions, as well as correspondence, to the Daily Worker. Groups of readers living nearby in any neighborhood can do likewise. These clubs are not to be large mass organizations, nor are meetings to be very stiff and formal. Arrange a little entertainment, home talent, etc. From the advice, suggestions, correspondence, etc., of these small groups, the central office of the Daily Worker will be able to feel the pulse of the opinions of the workers, every day. Without this assistance, all the editorials, leading articles and polit- ical direction will not give life to the paper. We should make the Daily Worker the paper of the workers!
