GIFFORD LEADS IN WHOLESALE FIRING OF TELEPHONE WORKERS 80 Per Cent of Operators and Clerks Lose Jobs in American Telephone and Telegraph Remainder of Workers Placed on Part Time; Pay Increases Stop (By a Worker Correspondent) _ NEW YORK. — A striking example of how the capitalist elass is unloading the burdens of the crisis upon the backs of the workers is afforded by the methods employed by Mr. Gif- ford, president of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., in his own company. Mr. Gifford’s program for unemployment put into force by him for the workers of the American Tele-| phone and Telegraph Co. about aif To illustrate: At the central office, Lexington 2, when the manual (no dial) system was in use, 300 girls were employed for both day and might service, of whom about 12 ‘were clerks and 288 operators. When the dial system had been intro- duced, the force of 300 girls was redigeed to 60, of whom one clerk remained and 59 operators, for both Gay and night service. 2. All the girls that remained at work were forced to give up one day each week for which no pay ia received. That is, instead of working 54 days a week, with oc- eastonal overtime, they now work nly 4% days, without any over- time, and get paid for only 414 x tn 3. yearly increases were stop- ped about a year ago.

Eliminate Bosses Mr. Gifford and his class may tell us “misguided” workers that our pointing out the ill effects of the dial means rebelling against indus- trial progress. Quite right, Mr- Gif- ford. We must eliminate the bank- ers and coupon clippers from the telephone service (and from all in- dustries) and the dial would indeed then be a blessing; we could then work shorter hours and have work for all. ‘The workers, white collar and oth- ers, can expect nothing from the Gif- fords, the Hoovers—the capitalists— but unemployment, part time work, forced contributions, economic inse- curity, and war.

The three speakers who spoke in the name of the Unemployed Council, Communist Party, and the Young Communist League brought up questions of unemployment, ques- tions of wage-cuts and the war dan- ger. The crowd stood around and very enthusiastically received the speakers. ‘This was they first of a series of six to be held this week in, prepara- tion for the main anti-war demon- stration to be held at the Duca Degli Abruzzi Hall, 346 Summit Ave., on Wee JAPAN SENDS NOTE THREAT- ENING THE SOVIET UNION “Things are moving fast.” ‘these were the sign‘ficant words of U. S. Ambassador Dawes upon learning of the seiz- ure by the Japanese army of the Tsitsihar section of the Soviet-Chinese owned Chinese Eastern Railway. The Associated Press which quotes Wall Street government’s représentative further, reports that: “He declined t oamplify that statement, but it was known that he has been in communication with Washing- ton and that both he and his government are deeply in- terested in Manchurian developments.” That the interest of the Hoover Hunger Government in Manchurian developments is in support for the Japanese invasion of China as the opening gun in the planned attack on the Soviet Union has bee made | {creasingly clear. This was the prin- cipal aim of the secret pact between Hoover and Laval and of the secret conversations between Japan and the United States, The present secret conferences between Hoover, Stim- son and Borah and the Italian fascist . | foreign minister, Grandi, are aimed at forging the final link in the anti- Soviet front. United States support of Japan is admitted in an editorial in the Japan Times of October 19. That editorial states; “Official circles Monday intimat- ed that the present attitude of the United States toward the Manchu- rian incident, which has been mis- understood to some extent in Ja~ pan, especially after the recent par- ticipation of an American observer in the League Council, has now come to be appreciated considerably by the Japanese government as it has been made clear that the Unit- ed States government is very favor- ably inclined toward Japan,” ‘The New York Nation, November 25, states that “The Osaka Mainichi, the Tokio Nichi-Nichi, the Japan Times, and other influential newspa- pers have openly interpreted the American policy as one of partiality for the Japanese.” Japanese In Threatening Note to Soviet And “Things are moving fast,” as U: S.

BRIDGEPORT, Chio, Nov. 19.— John Kritczman, blacklisted miner of Adana, died of starvation Saturday. The Council of the Unemployed im- mediately organizer a mass meeting protesting this murder, and the job- Jess then demonstrated before the town council and demanded immedi- ate relief for others who will also die unless fed. On Nov. 17 the Unemployed Coun- cils of Wheeling, Warwood and Elm Grove, all in West Virginia, presented demands for winter relief to the city council in Wheeling, and the demands were rejected. These agents of steel and mine barons prefer to starve the Jobless; it helps them in their wage- cutting program. The Unemployed Councils are calling mass meetings to hear the report of the committees to the city councils and to mobilize for the Ohio County Hunger March. County Hunger March. ‘The Ohio County Hunger March is Noy. 24. Ohio County is in West Virginia and the county seat is Wheeling. ,One line of march starts at Miners Hall at 8 a.m. at Warwood. Nat Turner celebrations, during which extra bundles of The Libera- tor have been ordered for mass meet- ings in conjunction with the drive for 10,000 new readers, has helped to increase the circulation for the week ending Noy. 7.

This outstanding increase, however, not backed by promised payment, loses its significance since the Liberator, already in a serious financial situation, intensified by the attempt at the Post Office to bar it from the mail, cannot survive with- out prompt payments for papers.

District 19, Denver, claims exemption because, according to Pat Toohey, organizer, the district is “without a single Negro Party mem- ber and no committee organized to carry on the Negro work. We are trying to establish such a committee, but ... we have very few comrades who can be drawn into this work. Please take notice and do not send us so much material on the Libera- tor.” We wish to point out that the days are past when only Negro comrades are expected to carry on Negro work; also that the struggle for Negro rights is not confined to Negro workers alone, but is mainly the task of the white workers; also that we intend continuing sending Liberator material until Denver establishes its committee (even if temporarily composed of only white workers), makes systematic distri- bution of its bundle of 50, popu- larisves the Liberator drive in the district, and “discovers” that there are Negro workers in Denver, as in every other district, willing to struggle and fight.

The Japanese note is an attempt to justify the sei- zure of the Chinese Eastern Railway and the steady advance of Japanese troops towards the Soviet frontier. Washington Awaith “With Keen In- terest” Soviet Reaction. Under phrases such as ‘League and Washington fear Soviet will act as Chinese Eastern Railway is crossed,” the imperialist bandits are expressing their jubilation over developments, and their hope that at last the Soviet Union might be forced to armed de~ fense. A Washington dispatch to the New York Times states: “The reaction of Russia is await- ed here with keen interest. With Japan astride the Chinese Eastern Railway, Russian interests are di- rectly involved...” Another Washington dispatch to the same paper explains in its head the strategic significance of Tsitsi~ har. “Tsitsihar is Center of Vital Rail Lines. “Dominates the Chinese Eastern and Also a New Road Into Fertile Region.” A Paris dispatch to the New York Daily News is headed: “Japan Admits Aim to Grab Man- churta-” The dispatch declares: “Japan abandoned all talk of com- Promise tonight in the Manchurian conflict. “At a secret session of the Council of the League of Nations, Kenkichi Hoshizawa, the Japanese delegate, laid down a program of peace condi- tions described in some League circles as tantamount to turning Manchuria into a political and economic protec- torate of Japan.” See Soviet Drawn Into War. A dispatch from Tokio to the same Paper says “some quarters here to- night expressed apprehension that Russia might be drawn into the dis- pute.” Further proof that the imperialists are trying to push the Soviet Union into the war in Manchuria is con tained in the following statement in the same dispatch: ---"The Japanese were fully aware of the danger entailed in moving into the district, since General Honjo, Japanese commander-in- chief in Manchuria, a few days ago said he might be forced to ‘stab- Ush his line at Tsitsihar, regardless of the danger of embroiling Rus- sia?” Gen. O’Ryan Admits World War Being Prepared. General John F. O’Ryan, speaking Wednesday night before the World Affairs Institute admitted that the world is “drifting steadily but surely into a bigger dnd more evil war than the last.” He attributed the movement toward war to economic conditions: Those “economic conditions” revolve around the cntrast f the gigantic achievements of socialist construction and the abolition of unemployment in the Soviet Union, on the one hand, and on the other the ever deepening crisis of decaying capitalism. This was clearly brought out in the fear expressed at the same meeting by Dr. GoodNov.7 Celebration Held in Pasadena, Cal. PASADENA, Cal—The Nov. 7 meeting was held at Banish Hall, celebrating the 14th anniversary of the successful workers’ revolution in Russia, with a program participated in by the Communist Party, Young Communist Leagie and the Pioneer, tendered to a packed house of some- thing like 400 people, including po- licemen deputies, all of whom were attentive and seemingly interested. There had been quite a controversy carried on through the local press as to whether the meeting would be al- lowed in which, scare statements of possible violence were made and probably kept many workers from attending. “Yoshizawa Tells It that Tokyo Will Accept No Intervention. “Refuses to Define Claims. “League’s Request for Exact Statement on Treaties Is Flatly Re- jected.” The dispatch states: “Mr. Yoshizawa, acting in ac- cordance with fresh instructions from the Tokyo government, again declined to give satisfaction with respect to the treaty claims in- volved. The Council had asked him yesterday for an exact definition of the rights of Japan claimed in her fifth point of the fundamental prin- ciples put forward as conditions for withdrawal in Manchuria.” League Continues Secret Maneuvers. In the meantime, the League Coun- cil continues its secret conferences in Paris, with U. S: Ambassador Dawes directing the united front against the Soviet Union and the Chinese masses, while League officials peddle lies of “peace negotiations.” Japan Consolidates Hold On Man- churia, The Japanese are consolidating hold on Manchuria in preparation for the real objective—the attack on the Soviet Union. An article by George E. Sokolsky in yesterday's New York Times admits: “Chinese authority is now com- pletely destroyed in Fengstein, Kirin and Heilungkian provinces. Jehol is still under Chinese control, but that province of the Manchu- rian government is really in East- ern Inner Mongolia and is not stra- tegically or economically important in this situation.” A Mukden dispatch referring to the announcément by “the Japanese of- ficial spokesman” of “the formal adoption of the budget by the new ‘independent’ Chinese government of South Manchuria,” says: “Inquiries directed to the new set of Chinese officials, seeking addi- tional budgetary details, met with the reply: ‘We are not informed on the budget because it has not yet been translated from Japanese to Chinese.” Kuomintang Continues Betrayal. The Kuomintang congress which is now meeting at Nanking has taken no steps to resist the Japanese aggres- sion: Instead it is continuing its ef- forts to crush the Chinese mass strug- gle for liberation. The new Nanking charge d'affaires in Washington, Dr. Hawkling Yen, declared yesterday “he did not believe China would declare war on Japan but would continue to resist the Jap- anese in’ Manchuria. Tsitsihar Population In Flight. Fearing reprisals for their aid to General Ma’s army, the entire popu- lation of Tsitsihar is in flight to- wards the western district where there is a strong resistance to the Japanese. A Mukden dispatch re- ports: “The Chinese population of Tsit- sihar is in panic-stricken flight from the city despite the intense cold—10 degrees below zero—the Japanese official messages an- nounced. “Virtually all of the inhabitants evacuated in terrible confusion, abandoning homes and belongings. Thousands fled through the snow to western districts despite reports Kirk that the workers were turning te Communism. Dr. Kirk said: “If the world becomes Commu- nistic it will be largely because the wealth of the world has been di- verted from the constructive enter- prises of peace into the non-pro- ductive enterprises of war and preparations for war.” Dr. Kirk also declared that “$4,500,- 000,000 is spent yearly on armaments of which the United States is spend- ing one-sixth.” Says “International Conflict Under Way.” Major General E. Ely, speaking Wednesday at a luncheon at the Army and Navy Club, also admitted that a World War is in the making: He said: “Since the war, until recently, we have heard a lot about no more wars, but lately, we don’t hear so much sbout it. Even with an in- ternational conflict under way, they don’t call it war any more, but a clash of arms.” He further declared that “right must be backed up by might in this generation.” Japan “Defies” League. Secretly assured by the United States, France and other imperialist governments of support in the war on the Chinese masses and the provoca~ tion of the Soviet Union, the Japan- ese yesterday openly “defied” the League of Nations Council. A dis- patch from Paris to the New York Times was summarized by that paper in the following decks: “Council at a Standstili- that strong outlaw hordes were op- erating there.” Chinese Boycott Hits Japanese Trade.

Coal Barons Try to Railroad Burnett to Death (CONTINUED FROM P. the Harlan Coal Operators Associa- tion. ‘The L.W-W. General Defense, which is supposed to be defending the framed-up miners, is playing into the hands of the coal operators by taking as lawyers for the defense men, who are connected with the coal operat- ors. All of the witnesses for the prose- cution are the paid gunmen of the Black Mountain Coal Co. or other coal companies. “A parade of Harlan County Sheriffs (all Harlan County Sheriff's are employed and paid by the coal operators—Daily Worker) took the witness stand,” said the New York Daily News correspondent in Mt. Sterling. It is on this manufactured “evidence” that the coel barons are rushing through their railroading of bill Burnett. In a statement today, George Mau- rer, general secretary of the Inter- national Labor Defense, declared that information received here concerning the trial of William Burnett, Harlan miner charged with murder, verified the LL.D. prediction that there was danger of a sell-out defense. “Robison, Klansman lawyer of the U.M.W.A., has disappeared from the defense,” the I.L.D- points out. “This is the second time that the U.M.W.A. has left Burnett in the lurch. At the first hearing held last summer, Bur- nett, who was then a member of the U.M.W-A., would have been railroad- ed—because Robison failed even to appear at the trial—if the LL.D. had not jumped into the breach and pro- vided him with legal defense.
