Brownsville Houses Join Rent Strike ‘Two more houses in Brownsville voted to join the rent strike on Mon- day evening. Action was decided upon at the Brownsville Unemployed Council meeting held at 391 Watkins ‘The two houses joining the strike are 496 and 508 Williams Ave. The tenants of the striking houses are fighting the landlords for a dollar re- duction on each room. Agitation is being conducted to bring out the entire block on strike. The workers are very militant and pledge themselves to fight until they win their full demands. The strug- gle is carried on under leadership of the Unemployed Council, Brownsvil- le Branch. Workers’ Correspondence is the backbone of the revolutionary press.

Miller, you are hereby notified to give up possession of the house and place which you now live in on or before January 8, 1932, and not to tear down or take away any part of the house or fence which is the prop- erty of the Long Ridge Coal Com- pany. This is authorized by the Long Ridge—John Owens, Supt.” The operator’s answer to the strike of the miners has begun. Creech, who looks like a benevolent old Kentucky colonel, has handed a man and wo- man with eight children, an eviction notice. He threatens to evict every man who strikes. Kettle Island, El- comb, Liberty—all over the field, the operators have answered with a vi- | clous weapon—evicting of the miners from the only homes they have known—using the force of the law to run them off of the camp, because the miner has dared to say he would starve no longer. At Elcomb eight families have received three-day no- tices. The other day in a pour rain, a family of seven was evicted. This added cruelty was to say to the min- ers “the operator is boss—he'll tell you what to do. And he tells you, you can't join the National Miners Union.” ‘The miners are refusing to give up their “homes” in many cases.

J.—The office of the District Council of Carpenters and Joiners was the scene of a revolt of rank and file carpenters against the most brazen sell-out ever made by This situation came about as a re- sult of a settlement that was made by one of the District Council busi- ness agents, Chas. Bryant, in a strike pulled about two weeks ago by the pressure that was brought from the rank and file at the local member- ship meetings. On this job union carpenters were working for as low as five dollars per day, eight dollars and twenty cenis | below the union scate of wages. After the job had been pulled, | these same men, who had been work- ing for such a low scale of wages. went back to work without a settle- ment being made. When the car- | |penters found this out, they went in a body, this time without the con- sent of the officials, and pulled the scabs off once more. The strike was settled by the busi- ness agent, allowing the same boss to rehire the same men who had been working as scabs. The men came to the conclusion that an organized attempt would have to be made by the rank and} file membership in order to defeat the dastardly sell-out jobs of the of- ficials. At this meeting about 40 carpen ters were present and the Newark Carpenters Center was created. An xecutive committee of five members were elected to work out the program of action to be submitted to the membership. It was decided to call a mass meet- ing of all carpenters, organized and unorganized, in Newark within two weeks. = At local membership meeting which will be held during the week, the rank and file carpenters will demand an accounting from their officials, and no doubt Chas. Bryant will not be very much pleased. Watch for the date of the mass meeting. Foreign-BornComm. Warns Against Fake Inspectors The National Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born to- day issued a warning to the foreign born in the United States to be on guard against fake immigration in- spectors who try to extort money from them under the pretence of giving them protectoin. The foreign born are urged to demand to see credentials and other means of iden- tification if they are approached by any one who claims to have connec- tions with the Immigration Depart- ment. ‘The committee stated that a large representation from trade unions and mass organizations was expected at Wednesday's plenum of the National Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born, which will be held in the Ukrainian Labor Home at 15 E. Third St., New York City, at 8 p.m. 180 Arrested at One Demonstration of Jobless in Budapest (Inprecorr Press Service) BUDAPEST, Dec. 24.—Unemploy- ment demonstrations are continuing in Budapest where the situation of the unemployed workers is growing desperate. At one demonstration alone the police made 180 arrests. KY. MINERS BEING EVICTED FOR STRIKE ACTIVITY; RUSH RELIEF! The parliament building is guarded by a special force of armed police. Many cases. In many others neigh- bors have said to constables, “We won't let you evict good union peo- ple.” But the operators have been successful with running out of Len- arou, three men for organizing the union. The operators are lining up their forces, using every means to force the miners back into the mines and back into slavery. At Cary they have evicted mili- tants. But the miners have not been stopped. There can be no answer but strike, when working means receiving, like Mat Proffit, at Cary, one cent after a month's work. He earned $40.91, and the company charged $40.90 against him. One cent for a month's work! The miners all over Kentucky and Tennessee have an- swered “Strike, strike solid, until we win our demands in spite of evic- tions and other attacks of the oper- ators.” The working-class must not allow the miners to face the attacks of the bosses against their strike with only their militancy. Food, funds, clothing must be sent at once, This must be the answer of the workers outside of Kentucky and ‘Tennessee to the at- tacks against their fellow miners by the operators.

Support, strengthen, the miners strike ~ 3 PA Latherers Place Two Rank andFileMembers On Executive Board At the elections held last Saturday by Latherers Local No. 244, two rank ond file candidates were successfully in spite of the A, F. of L. elique of mis- leaders, The two rank and file members elected are: S. Wechsler, a known Communist, received 153 votes; and Frank La Rosso who was given 120 votes. Despite this success of the rank ai file ticket all the susiness agents elected, were “clique” members. Sensing the manner in which the election would go, one of the “clique” members tried to switch off the lights in order to destroy the ballots. But this he failed. BOSSES, POLICE ATTACK BREAD STRIKE PICKETS 1,000 Participate In Demonstration Which Police Break In a desperate attempt to put an end to the picketing which has forced the Brighton Beach bakers to sell bread at 5 cents a pound and rolls at 12 cents a dozen, the son of the jowner of the Sea Lane Bakery at 615 Brighton Beach Ave. attacked Mrs. Rice, a 50-year old woman Monday night. Immediately after the picket had been attacked from the back, a crowd of protesting workers gathered. They demanded of a policeman (shield No. 9752) that he arrest the thug. The capitalist keeper of the peace refused and said that "it was good for her.” A little while later an open air meeting was held by the strike com- mittee. This turned into a demon- stration with over 1,000 people partic- ipating. ‘The actions of the bosses were vigorously scored. ‘This time the police interefered in favor of the bosses and used their clubs freely on the women. It took more than half an hour before this brutality was ale to break up the demonstration. The Rank and File Strike Commit- tee and the Women’s Council appeals to all Brighton workers to come to strike headquarters and the struck shops and help picket. The commit- tee also urges the workers to demand that all groceries sell bread at 5 cents @ pound and rolls at 15 cents a dozen, as some are already doing. If they refuse the workers should not buy anything in these stores. Jimcrow Delegates to G.0.P. Convention CHICAGO, Tll—While Oscar De Priest, colored congressman from Chicago, is busying himself in Con- gress with a bill to make Lincoln's birthday Feb. 12, a legal holiday, the Chicago arangements committee to get the republican committee of that Party has one of the inducements for getting the conventian. The fact that a number of hotels in the jim- crowed segregated section in Chicago will accomodate the colored dele- gates, The Negro members of the com- mittee have not even raised a voice of protest against this open jim- crow policy of the GOP. But to the contrary, pride themselves with the fact that Pres. Hoover consented to pose for a photograph with the del- egates to the national committee meeting. These politicians have accepted the jim-crow policy for the Negro masses and are openly helping the white ruling class in oppressing them are helping to perpetuate the lynch law of the white ruling class, “JEWEL ROBBERY” AT THE BOOTH THEATRE Basil Sydney and Mary Ellis will appear in a new play, “Jewel Rob- bery,” an adaptation by Bertram Bloch from the Hungarian script of Laszlo Fodor, which opens at the Booth Theatre tonight, Others in the cast are Eugene Powers, Cora Witherspoon, Stuart Casey and Clar- ence Derwent.

Cooper Union for Coming Strike Dressmakers from Industrial Union shop, International shop, and open shops will mobilize their ranks for Cooper Union this 14th. ‘The United Front Committee which has been carrying on the campaign to unite the dressmakers for a real strike under rank and file leadership, as against the fake strike maneuvers of the Intrenational, with the bosses and the capitalist politicians, will give a detailed report on the activi- ties carrying on along the lines of uniting the dressmakers. They will Propose plans for the further strike preparations and discuss with the dressmakers the demands and all other preparations for the coming strike. It is expected that this meet- ing of dressmakers will show that the workers in the dress trade re- alize the need for unity and that through their united ranks they will Thursday, Jan. the way of unity by the leaders of the International, in combination with the Lovestone, Anarchist groups of the bosses. ‘The workers are called upon to come as organized bodies to the meeting. In preparation for this meeting the organization drive conducted by the Industrial Union and the United Front Committee in the dress trade Additional shops came down on strike while other shops that have been on strike since last week went back to work with improved conditions. While these strikes for union conditions are spreading out, the leaders of the Ti- ternational are carrying on strike- breaking activities. A specific illus- tration {s the shop of E. & M. Dress Co The workers of this open shop went down on strike about four weeks ago. The boss attempted to operate with scabs but was unable te do so as a result of the determined struggle of the workers. He then ap- plied to the International for a set- tlement and sow scabs are coming to work under the protection of the strong armed guys who are on the| pay roll of the International, with the blessing of the Zimmermans and Bluesteins. This scabbing must open the eyes of even those workers who are still mislead by the phraseology of the so- called progressive administration of Local 22. ‘The Industrial Union and the United Front Committee call on all dressmakers who are members of the International, to fight against this strike breaking and to line up in sup- port of all workers who are fighting for union conditions. The United Front Committee gives its full sup- port to all striking workers, regard- 1&s of whether they are members of the International or the Industrial Union. ‘This wag most cleasky demonstrated by the support given to the workers who have been locked out by the firms who had agreement with eal International, The United Front Committee calls on all workers of striking shops, to elect their etrike ccemmitiees and carry on théir struggle in defense of their interests.

L. D.; Hearing of Appeal Jan. 21; Funds Needed at Once ATLANTA, Ga. Jan. 10.—The family of Ozie Powell, one of the Scottsboro boys, has been living in a ramshackle place at 344B Rawson St., in Atlanta, Ga. The white landlord, Mr. MeNeil is a real shark. His tenants have not been able to pay their rent on time. On Saturdays, Mr. MeNeil, or a black Judas who helps him do his dirty work, patrols the row of shacks owned by this bloodsucker to see that none of the tenants move out with rent unpaid. If anyone tries it, they put a lock on their doors so they can't get away. Often he takes away furniture or bedding to make up for unpaid rent. He has a big store stocked with ar~ ticles stolen from the few sticks and rags of his poverty-stricken tenants, which he sells to other workers who are still able to buy such junk. ‘Two years ago the Powell family was a little better off. The father had a job and was earning $15 a week with which he tried. to take care of a family of five, with the mother working and helping a little. So he was able to buy his little daughter a rocker for Christmas be- cause it was damaged and repaired and he got it cheap. A few weeks ago Mrs. Powell saw this rocker, dis- guised in a different color paint, in the McNeil home. She recognized it by the way if was damaged and repaired. When Mrs. Powell told the Inter- national Labor Defense about the trouble, she was having with her landlord, she was assisted in finding another place. She had been paying $2 a week for a dump unfit for human beings to live in. Mrs. Powell paid up her back rent to these | 2nd told her landlord she was mov: ing. He tried to persuade her and her husband stay, telling them that if they would “stop messing” with that “red” organization he would give them a month’s rent free. He also told them that he has a friend who | knows Mr. Darrow and would get him to take Ozie’s case if they would cut Joose from the I. L. D. It is such blood-sucking landlords and bosses that are hte friends of the N. A. A. C. P. These are the people who are working bard in hand with ‘Walter White and William Pickins in the attempt to eliminate the mili- tant defense policy of the I. L. D. AMUSEMENTS.

Workers everywhere must rally to the defense of the in- nocent Scottsboro boys, raising the demand for the immediate, uncon-~ ditional and safe release of these victims of the class struggle. Protest, meetings and demonstrations must be held throughout the country. Telegrams and resolutions sent to the Alabama Supreme Court protesting against this hideous frame-up, money collected and rushed to the national office of the International Labor De*-nse, 80 East 11th Street, New York City, to help defray the ex- pensc: of the defense. At these meetings the workers must be mobilized to support the de- mands of the boys and the parents that the N. A. A. ©.
