Local Supports Social Insurance Bill Cleveland Painters De- | nounce Green and Matthew Woll | CLEVELAND, Ohio.— Two Cleve- | land locals of the A. F. of L. Paint- | ers’ Union Locals 129 and 867, have | recently gone on record for unem- ployment insurance. Painters’ Local | 867, which has about 1,200 members, passed a resolution for unemploy- | ment insurance unanimously after | rank and file members had de-/| nounced William Green and Mat-| w Woll from the floor. Not a| oiee was raised in their defense. The Local also passed a resolution calling for struggle to free Tom Mooney. fier the adoption of these resolu- tions requests came from the floor, that other locals be asked to adept similar resolutions, and that-= the matter be taken to the central body, the Cleveland Federation of Labor. Other A. F. of L. members should bring the question before their or- ganications at the next meeting. Another indication of the leftward trend among the rank and file of the A. F. of L. building trades is the fact that I. O. Ford, Communist can- didate for mayor of Cleveland, was invited to speak before Painters’ Local 765. He spoke after Dr. F. W. Walks, one of the most demagogic of the capitalist candidates, and was very well received by the members. At one recent meeting twelve mem- bets of A. F. of L. unions joined the building trades group of the Trade Union Unity League.

The meeting will open at 8 o'clock at 3882 Third Avenue.

These attorneys have been making a strong fight to save the lives of the nine Negro youths, eight of whom were sentenced to be electrocuted. They will give a detailed report on this case and show how they were rushed through a procedure that did not have the faintest resemblance to any sort of a trial. Chamlee and Brodsky with other attorneys of the International Labor Defense are now preparing an appeal to the Supreme Court of Alabama for a new trial. We, Negro and white, must show that we are behind this fight by turning out for this meeting. It is only by our united effort that we can force the releas¢ of these framed up victims of the class struggle.

The boss with the aid of the company union, including Zimmerman and h: supporters, are attempting to terro: ize the workers arrests, but this has little effect on the strikers who |are determined to go on with the struggle in the shop until the boss has been compelled to come to terms.

Five additional shops joined the ranks of the strikers on Thursday. It is expected that with the ginning of work in the dress industry the response of the workers will be even better during the second week of the drive. This is the answer that the dress- makers are giving to the maneuvers of the bosses, Schlesinger, and Dud- ley Field Malone for a fake strike in the dress industry. The experiences of the dressmakers in the fake strike of 1930 have taught the workers a lesson and today ever larger numbers of workers are beginning to realize that only under a united front strike under rank and file leadership can conditions be improved. ‘The United Front Committee is car- | rying through of forums tonight, Fri- day, 8 p. m., in the following places: Sholom Aleichem House, 2451 Giles Pl., Bronx; the I, W.

Hundreds of N. T. W. U. leaflets have been distributed. The ap- pearance and speeches of the Na- tional Textile Workers Union solid- ified the strike definitely. Twelve hundred strikers are out solidly in the two Uxbridge mills, A report comes that many have struck in the union mill of the same company in Pascoag, R. I. and the company threatens to close the Glenark Mill in Woonsocket to pre- vent a strike.

One of the bosses, Lerman of Rip- ple St., president of the Bosses As- sociation, closed down after the ar- rest of three pickets Tuesday, failed to stop the strike activity. He will be watched closely and any attempt of his to re-open at the old price will | be; met by action on the part of the Rank and File Strike Committee and the Women’s Council, Meanwhile picketing is being con- centrated at two places, Ocean View and Sea Lane bakeries.

Painters NEW YORK.—Several militant workers were badly beaten up by American Federation of Labor thugs at the last meeting of Local 102 of the Painters’ Union. One fo the workers got up during the meeting and said his family is starving and he asked to’ know the yeason why he hasn't been able to get work for the last eight or ten months. At once, fakers and gangsters who came to this meeting to put through a dollar a day tax on those employed set upon him. The thugs beat up this worker so badiy that he had to be taken to a nearby place for treat- ment. When this happened, rank and file members began protesting. The gangsters answered this protest by raining down blovs upon all of them, And they aimed their attack against one militant worker whose name it is necessary to withhold. When this worker managed tc break away, he ran out to the street. A gangster ran after him and chased after him in an auto. He overtook him and only a crowd of people who came to his rescue saved this. com- rade from possible fatal injury. These A. F. of L. “leaders” feel that the unions are passing from their control to that of rank and file members, and for this reason employ brutal and terrorizing tactics.
