FURRIERS HIT KAUFMAN MANEUVER NEW YORK.—In the boss paper, the “Women’s Wear” of Wednesday, January 20, there was @ report which shows that Kaufman and the bosses in the fur trade have practically come to an understanding to continue the agreement in an effort to jointly con- tinue to exploit the fur workers. ‘This shows that the meeting held by Kauf- man on Tuesday was planned jointly. with the bosses after an understand- ing had actually*been reached. The furriers at a huge mass meet- ing held in the market expressed their readiness to fight against all these conspiracies and to continue the struggle for union conditions un- der the leadership of the unity com- mittee, and adopted the following resolution repudiating Kaufman and his agents. The following resolution was adopt- ed unanimously: We, the mass of fur workers as- sembled at a mass meeting in the In- dustrial Union aiicr returning from the demonstration around Bryant 9 in ARORA Uae Fe TRADE UNIONS MUST ACT AS A LEVER TO ABOLISH CAPITALISM | TRADE UNIONS “Trade unions work well as cen- ters of resistance against the en- eroachments of capital. They fail partially from an injudicious use of their power. They fail generally from limiting themselves to a guer- illa war against the effects of the existing system, instead of simulta- neously trying to change, instead of using their organized forces as a lever for the final emancipation of the working class, that is to say, the ultimate abolition of the wages sys- tem.”"—Karl Marx, “Value, Price and Profit.” Hall, sharply condemn the Fascist answer of Kaufman’s gangsters, police and detectives to the thousands of fur workers who have come to Bryant Hall where Kaufman with his under- world gang and police appointed themselves to confer with the fur manufacturers in the name of the fur workers and conclude an agreement for Kaufman's sceb agency. We sharply condemn the bloody answer of Kaufman's gangsters to the few honest fur workers inside the Hall to their demand that the furriers demonstrating outside Bryant Hall be permitted to enter. The black Fascist onslaught on the thousands of fur workers is addi- tional proof that Kaufman and his gang of sluggers, with the bosses and police, are determined to keep up the ‘ugly and bloody racket to exploit, réb and terrorize the thousands of fur workers. The temper and mass movement emong the fur workers is growing daily to fight and annihilate the com- pany union and force the employers to give back to the’ workers the con- ditions achieved through years of struggle, ‘The fake agreement that will be signed between the bosses and the Kaufman gang will be “pouring more oil on fire” and will serve to give more courage to the workers to de- stroy the company union. We indict the Tammany “Day” of helping Kaufman to organize the “meeting” by giving Kaufman’s rack- eteers wide publicity, calling the workers to the meeting when they knew beforehand th: Kaufman’s sluggers would butcher and slug the fur workers, knowing that the only method to perpetuate and keep up the company uffion is by using gangsters and bosses to beat and terrorize the fur workers. , The ,Tammany “Day” is forging consciously the report of the meeting. The “Day” is consciously concealing the facts of the bloody attack made upon the fur workers inside and out- side the Hall and is openly lying by quoting names and speeches of peo- ple that never appeared at the meet- ing. ‘We equally condemn the Lovestone- ites who helped the gangsters to beat and butcher the fur workers. “Gen- ose” Lazia Zimmerman and Nelson were the chief leaders and helped Kaufman inside the Hail to keep “or- der.” ‘We call upon the fur workers to close and strengthen their ranks, to build and strengthen the United Front of the Fur Workers, to clean out the gangsters and annihilate the com- pany union.

The program of the League was adopted unanimously. It was decided to send a synopsis of the action of the conference to the delegates at- tending the local lodges. A commit- tee of seven was elected to visit the lodges and get them to make prepa- rations to issue a call for a city-wide: corference to be held as soon as the grand lodge officials and railroad presidents’ conference is concluded. The first steps were taken to de- velop some real action inside the old unions. “It was the general opinion of the delegates that the railroad workers should support the Unem- ployment Insurance Bill against the Pension Plan which is being spon- sored by Royster, a pseudo-progres- sive and a Farmer-Laborite from same caliber. A policy to get the workers in the Pension Clubs and lodges to endorse a united front pro- gram against wage-cuts, for the 6 hour day and unemployment insur- ance was worked out. A more complete statement of the decisions of the conference will ap- pear in the Trade Union column within a few days, , OPEN FORUMS ON DRESS STRIKE NEW YORK. — A dressmakers open forum has been arranged by the lawjustrial Union for Sunday in the @emperative Colony, 2700 Bronx Park East, 11 o'clock in the morning in the auditorium in connection with thy preparation for the coming stritte Two open forums have been ar- ranged by the left wing group of Ieeal 22 ILGWU on the subject: “Does the Internatiogal Mean to Conduct a Real Strike or a Maneu- iver to Collect Taxes?” The forums will take place on Sunday, January 24th, at 11 a.m. One forum will take place at 885 Union Ave., (near Pros- pect station); the other in the Bath Beach Workers Club, 48 Bay 26 St., Brooklyn.

JAPANESE RUSH WARSHIPS PLANES TO € RUSH MASS MOVEMENT IN SHANGHAI (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) the proposal for complete disarma~ ment which was advanced by Comis~ - sar of Foreign Affairs, Maxim Litvi~ hoff, at a previous “disarmament conference” is “still the keystone of Soviet policy.” This is an open admission from imperialist sources that the Soviet “Jiion is fighting for peace, against another world slaughter of the work- ing class, and against the vicious provocations of the Japanese and other imperialists who have been at- tempting to involve the Soviet Union in war and whose murderous plans for.armed intervention against the _ Soviet Union by this coming spring have been openly stated in the im-. perialist preys within the past weeks. Capitalists Want Disarmament Only for USSR. The same dispatch reports that the Soviet press has accused the im~ perialists of being chiefly interested in preventing real disarmament and in feeding the world working-class pst phrases while at the same fhe speeding up their preparations The dispatch admits that Scvict Union hes shown its readi- s for @ none son pact with 08: Py" “d ell }'s neighbors, he £9 jay signed &@ non-265 secon p.cl with the gov- Pay {> r 1 ernment of Finland. Negotiations “| with the Rumanian government for a similar pact have been interrupted by tl Rumanian ruling class. The incincerity of the Finnish government in signing a nonaggres- sion pact with the Soviet Union is clearly exposed by the statement by the Finnish government that ratifi- cation of the pact is conditional upon the signing of similar pacts by Ru- mania, Poland and other puppet states of French imperialism on the western frontiers of the Soviet Union. ‘The Japanese ‘imperialists have open- ly refused the proposal of the Soviet Union for a non-aggression pact. Japanese Send Warships. ‘The Japanese yesterday dispatched warships, bombing planes and troops to the Chinese city of Shanghai in a murderous threat against the rising wave of revolutionary struggles of the Chinese worker—peasant masses against the imperialist looters of China and their Kuomintang hang- men. Japanese marines were landed in Shanghai several days ago, follow- ing a riot incited by Japanese na- tional chauvinists residing in Shan- ghai, Chinese workers were attacked and several Chinese factories burned.

Mrs. Baldwin had in her arms her little baby, made fatherless by the coal operators, A similar outburst greeted Mrs. Montgomery's address. Weinstone Analyses World Situation William Weinstone, representing the Central Committee of the Com- munist “Party, brilliantly analysed, the situation of the world capitalist decay, pointing out the rapid fall of production in the capitalist coun- tries, the increase of unemployment, the bankruptcy of the city govern- ments, and the complete bankruptcy of the capitalist system proceeding according to the laws pointed out by Marx and Lenin. He warned the workers that the hunger system would not break down of itself, but would have to be overthrown by a proletariat organized, steeled and in- spired by the revolutionary party of Lenin, the Communist Party. He stressed that while the bourgeoisie is revealing the utmost pessimism and despair in the face of the ever deepening crisis, as shown in an ar- ticle in the Catholic organ, “Amer- ican,” from which he quoted, the Communist Party could not accomp- lish the task of becoming the leader of the toiling black and white mas- ses unless it located itself in the shops and factories. Comrade ‘Weinstone pointed out that the struggles of the Bolshevik Party in Russia were strengthened and reinforced in the ranks of the most oppressed sections of the work- ing class; that in the United States this will be accomplished only by turning to the workers in the big factories and to the oppressed Ne- gro masses. He stressed the unlag- ging faith of Lenin in the Russian proletariat and its capacity for struggle. ‘The traitorous roel of the socialist party, was sharply exposed as was its false estimate of the coming world crisis as against the correct estimate by the Communist International. He called for the strengthening of the work in the revolutionary uni~ ons of the Trade Union Unity League and in the Oppositions in the A. F. of L,, etc. the building of a wider united front from below for push- ing the more concrete demands of the workers and for a firecer attack on the social-fascists in the A. F. of L. and in the socialist party, who are attempting to strangle the strug- gles of the masses against starva- tion. Increasing Attacks On Working Class He pointed out that the sharpen- ing of the crisis was being accom- panied by new attacks on the work- ing class, and pointed to the terror against the Kentucky strikers, the increasingly savage attacks upon {Me Negro masses as shown in the recent lynch verdict against Orphan Jones in Maryland, in preparation for the railroading of the Scottsboro boys to the electric chair by the Alabama Supreme Court. He called for @ mass fight of Negro and white work- ets againsb the Scottsboro lynch verdicts, for militant support of the Kentucky strike, which he pointed out is a blow against the capitalist offensive and a battle of the entire working class. , He declared that the deepening crisis made more acute the war dan- ger, forcing the imperialists to seek a way out of the crisis at the ex- pense of countless working-class lives, at the expense of the Negro and colonial masses, and for armed intervention against thé Soviet Union. ‘The sharper the crisis grows and the more the masses rally to the struggle against starvation, the more exposed becomes the treachery of the Lovestonites, he declared. Other speakers included, Kingston, Negro director of District 2 of the Communist Party, Stern of the Young Communist League, and Drown, one of the 700 workers recruited so far in District 2 during the Party Re- cruitment Campaign. Lena- Davis, Organizational Secretary of District 2, acted as chairman. A resolution against the imperial- ist war preparations and calling up- on the masses to defend the Soviet Union and the Chinese Soviet Re- public was unanimously adopted amid the thunderous cheers of the workers. An appeal was made for mass sup- port for the fighting fund ef the Daily Worker and for the coming needle trades workers strike ‘in this city, which is being organized by the Needle Trade Industrial Union. ‘The meeting wound up with an excellent program of revolutionary songs by the Federation of Workers Choruses, accompanted.by the W.

Gebert, district organizer of the Communist Party, was chairman of the Lenin meeting with Williamson the main speaker for the Communist Party. Saladen, young Negro work- er, spoke for the Young Communist League. The meeting was the most enthusiastic and best organized ‘a the history of Chicago. The Commu- nist Party received @ tremendous ovation and many present joined. Announcement of revolutionary oc- currences in Spain brought a tre- mendous demonstration. The meeting pledged to mobilize |the masses of workers for the Feb- ruary 4th demonstrations at Union Park. Resolutions were passed in solidarity with Mooney, the Kentucky miners and the Scottsboro boys. A resolution demanding the repeal of the criminal syndicalist law and the removal of Stege and Barker from the police force, and the aboli- tion of the Red Squad was adopted with thunderous response. A revolutionary program was pre- sented by the John Reed Club and Blue Blouses. The ¥reiheit, Ukrain- jan and Lithuanian choruses ren- dered musical selections. A play showing the life of the unemployed of Chicago was also presented. ‘The Red Squad and police were present in full force and attempted to provoke the workers by their in- solent attitude, arresting one mem- ber of the Blue Blouses.

State Forced To Admit Points. Knight was forced to admit most. of the points made by the defense at- torneys, but claimed they were mere- ly legal technicallites. We attempted to make a gréat point of the betrayal of the boys by Stephen Roddy, N. A. A. ©. P. attorney ab the Scottsboro “trials,” stating that “the defense took no exception” to the procedure of the Scottsboro court. He also argtied that because of the flood of protest telegrams pouring in on the Supreme Court, that court was sub- jected to the same “mob threat of intimidation” as was the Scottsboro court because of the lynch gang dem- onstrations outside that court. He argued that the Supreme Court was not influenced by these protests, and in the same way the Scottsboro court: was not influenced by the demon- strations of the lynch gangs. ‘Tries Rule Out Character of Girls, The State Prosecutor argued that the character of the girls was not permissible as evidence, This, in spite of the fact, that it was on the unsupported testimony of the two girls. who are well-known as prosti- tutes, that the boys were condemned to ¢*ath on the trumped-up charge of “raping” them.

Who is Boyd, and why is he trying Ke whitewash the slugging of the N,| . U. leaders? An Experienced Strikebreaker. The workers of the whole South are being aroused by the outrages against the militant strikers. “Boyd is an experienced strike breaker. He was in charge of the Tennessee Na- tional Guard that was sent to Eliza- bethton, ‘Tenn. to break the strike of the textile workers there. The Na- tional Guard, however, fraternized with the strikers ard a number of them aided the strikers in picketing the Bemberg Glansdorf Plants. This strike, under the leadership of the United Textile Workers’ lead- ership, including Hoffman, was a real betarayl of 5,000 workers, recently re- cruited from the farms, and from across the Kentucky line. McGrady of the A. F. of L, ‘vas the principal go-between for the bosses. The Chamber of Commerce of Elizabeth- ton, Tenn. took the initiative with the assistance of Boyd in putting a lower level of living conditions over on the workers than the mill bosses were able to. A delegation of the Chamber of Commerce told the executives of the Bemberg Glansdorf that they were paying too high wages and that from $6 to $8 a week was “enough for any of the hill-billies for the mills.” Adjutant General Boyd who is be- coming active in the present Ken- tucky-Tennessee coal strike, took a leading part in initiating these con- ditions, organizing the militia to break the strike on behalf of this cor- poration. which is owned by German capital and financed by the House of Morgan—the same group which owns mines in Harlan and Bell Counties.
