MILY: WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1932 SECOND DAY OF U.M.W.A. OPENS WITH CLASH BETWEEN WORKERS’ FORCES AND LEWIS MACHINE INDIANAPOLIS.—A fist fight fol- lowed a warm debate between Hind- marsh of Mlinois, the henchman of Walker, and vice president Murray threatened to break up the conven- tion. Hindmarsh made an attack on the policies of the International or- ganization relative to the strike in 1927 in Pennsylvania and Ohio, In view of the fact that Walker is pre- paring to accept a wage cut on the | expiration of the present agreement in Mlinois, he made reference that | the UMWA should have accepted a wage cut in Pennsylvania in 1927. ‘The only difference between these two sets of fakers is that one pursues a policy of openly putting wage cuts | into effect and the other covers up its treacherous role. Over 1,000 delegates were at the concention; Mlinois the largest single delegation, linois and anthracite delegation composed half of the del-~ egation, Lewis controlled the con- yention by strong arm and steam rol- ling tactis. has been limited to 5 minutes by the vote of 530 to 232. Lewis presides over the convention. He has appoin- | ted all the committees including the scale committee, committee on reso- lution,constitution, ete. 500 Resolutions Over 500 resolutions have been pre- sented to the convention by the local unions. ‘A large number of resolu- tions deal with the unemployment problem. About a dozen local un- jons introduced resolutions for un~- employment insurance. Resolution of local union, 3543 of Benton, Ill, “whereas millions of dollars are being spent by the federal government for war material which takes a position against unemployment insurance, whereas the employers and their class are living in luxury and wealth from the profits taken from the working class be it therefore resolved that the convention go on record in support of unemployment insurance, the fund to be created by taxing the incomes and profits of the employ- ers; that we go on record endorsing the 6-hour day, 5-day week without reduction in pay and be it further resolved; that we condemn the re- | cent convention of the A. F. of L. relative io unemployment insurance. The convention went on record egainst this measure which is con- vary to ihe sentiment of the mem- bership.” A number of local unions are de- jmanding the establishment of the 6 hour day and the 5 day week and local union 7208, Mt. Olive, Til. de~ mands 4 20 per cent increase in wages, At the same time a large number of local unions are demand~ ing the reduction in pay of the offi- cialdom of the UMWA, Local 1782 of Royalton, Ill in its resolution de- mands “the immediate resignation of all international officials and that temporary officials be elected from the floor of the convention and that | an international election be arranged and held within 60 days after the ad- Journing of the convetion.” Local uniov 1425 of O'Fallon, UL, in ils resolution demands solidarity strikes. Local union, 720 of Staun- ton, Ill. proposed the amendment to the constitution to strike out the paragraph which forbids members of the UMWA from being members of te Communist Party. Similar resor lutions passed by the Westville local union. Local union 2616 Rock Springs, Wyoming, demands that “this convention goes on record and demands from the United States gov- ernment the recognition of Soviet Russia and establish diplomatic and commercial intercourse with Soviet Russia.” The same local union de- mands complete independence for the Philipine Islands. A large num~- ber of locals introduced resolutions demanding freedom for Mooney and Billings and local union 2707, Benld, Ml, and 5509, Westville, Il. demand the abolition of the criminal syndi- calist law in all states, for the re- lease of the Imnerial Valley, Cen- tralia victims, Harlan miners, Scotts- boro boys, Orphan Jones, Pennsvl- -vania miners, Textile strikers in Mass. and the reveal of the Criminal Syndicalist law and the release of the 7 arrested workers, All these resolutions shall receive full suoport from the rank and file delegates from the Convention, Local union 5599 Westville, Ml. Presented @ resolntion in sunnort of the Kentucky - Tennessee striking miners and similar resolution was introduced by loes! 2707 Benld. MM. Both of these ree~lutions must be amended because the resolution calls for the money to be sent to the UMWA avnaratus in Kentucky which is a strikebreaking outfit in Ken- tucky. All funds for the support of | y, the Kentucky strikers must be sent to the striking miners’ relief com- mittee in Pineville, Kentucky. Radicalization Indicated All these resolutions are indication of the growing radicalization of the members of the UMWA in Illinois and other districts. ‘There can be a real base for a real rank and file op- Position against Lewis, Murray, Ken- nedy, and more progressive fakers, ‘Walker of Til. and Malone of the an- thracite. It is Walker and Edmond- son of Til., and Malone of the anthra- cite who are attempting to put the opposition into safe channels, and Prevent the development of the Discussion from the floor | ion of the miners against which the officialdom of the UMWA is center- ing its attack, The officialdom wants |to deprive the miners of its leader. In advance press releases issued by | |the international office of the UM} | WA, is declared that “the vast in- roads made by the NMU will be dis- cussed.” William Green, president of the AF.L,, speaking at the first session declared: “UMWA....maintaining a | Strong aggressive front, battling all | | the way, compromising nowhere, sur- | rendering never, yielding to no force, | maintaining its name and its record.” | |But every miner knows that every | word spoken here is a plain and sim- | | ple lie. The facts are to the contra- |ry. The UMWA has been an instru- | ment of the bosses to cut the wages. |The name of the UMWA in Ky., W | Va., Pa., Ohio and everywhere is the | | name of a strikebreaking utfit. Here | is a sypical fact. In the Pursglove | | mines in Scotts Run, V. Va. with the help of the District and Inter- | national officials tonnage rates were | [su from 30 to 22 cents a ton, bring- | ing the so-called union scale of the |UMWA of a, lower than the wage | paid in the non union fields in the | district. And it is not for nothing that Green further in his speech de- STRIKES DURING A PERIOD OF CRISIS “Is a struggle possible during | an economic crisis? It is suffi- cient to remember the strikes | which have taken place in all countries since the Fifth Con- gress of the R.LL.U.; in Germany, Great Britain, U. S. A. France, China, Poland, India, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc., to give an | affirmative reply to the question. || “Of course, the economic strug- | sle is more difficult under condi- | tions of crisis. It meets many additional difficulties which have to be studied and understood in | order to Jearn how to overcome them. But the main difficulty is not objective but subjective. | Everything depends upon the d gree of organization and solidarity | of the workers, on the relation || between reformism and Commun~- ism in the working class, on the | leaders of the movement.”—A. Lezvsky, “The Capitalist or the Kevolutionary Way Out of the | Crisis?”—R.LL.U, Magazine, Jan. | 1932, | clares: “They (the coal operators) | | must recognize the local union UM | WA or they will perish.” It is an open statement of the leader of the A. F. of L, that the role of the UM WA is to defend the interests of the coal operators. ‘This speech is made | with much social fascist demagogic phrases, speaking even of misery and starvation of the miners for the pur- | pose to mislead the miners so that | the coal operators can carry out their war against the miners. Report of International auditors | | Showed that the income of the UM WA for the year commencing Dec. 1, 1930 and endjng Nov. 10, 1931 was $1,018,554.74, and salaries and expenses to the burocrats of the In- ternational office of the UMWA was $525,284.73. In other words more | than half of the money stolen from jthe starving miners through the damnable check-off is squandered by the drunken, fat-bellied labor mis- Jeaders and tools of the coal oper- ators. Out of all the delegates there are less than a dozen Negro delegates who are practically segregated and receive no recognition whatsoever. The platform of the convention is dim Crowed. TUUL to Present Jobless Demands ‘The City Committee of the Unem- ployed Council of Indianapolis is sending a delegation to the conven- tion demanding the floor for D. R. Poindexter, Captain of the Indiana | delegation to the National Hunger | March, head of the delegation to Present the demands of the Hunger March to President Hoover on Dec. ith and militant Negro leader who has been active in Indiana for the past few months especially in In- dianapojis, Evansiville, Terre Haute, Kokomo, Anderson and other cities. Poindexter will present the demands of the Unemployed Council for im~ mediate cash relief and unemploy~ ment insurance. The statement of, the National Board of the National Miners Union has been distributed by the delegates. The Trade Union Unity League of Indianapolis arranged a mass meet~ ing for Friday night, Jan. 29, 8 p, m., at 932 1-2 So.

Johnson this morning for permission to hold an open air mass meeting and demon- Stration in support of unemploy- ment insurance at 15th and Broad- way February 4th.” ‘The permission was refused, 'The Unemployed Council here protested to the Governor of the state of Indiana, declaring: “On Monday, Mayor Johnson refused (o sec our delegation, but he issued a statement to the press stating that he refused to permit an outdoor demonstration, and would order the police department to break up any gathering of work- ers on the streets. “This means that the Mayor is preparing a repetition of the best- ial attack made on men, women and children of this city on last August Ist. In the face of terrl- © suffering among the unem- ployed and also part time workers of this city, he declares that no workers’ demonstrations will be permitted. “We are determined to hold our demonstration. We know that the United States Constitution, as well | as the Indiana State Constitution, guarantees citizens the right to meet, discuss, and petition for re- dress of wrongs. We know that in the city of Indianapolis itself, workers’ demonstrations are held vight at the State-house, without interierence. “As th- highest official of this state we hold you responsible for any atiack which may be made on the citizens of Gary.

What is behind all this, is Nor- walk really bankrupt? Decidedly, no, although the city fathers have done their best. A sewage disposal plant started at a cost of not more than $900,000, has passed the two million mark. We cite this because it is one of the latest examples. Where is the money, that has been | wrung from the workers in the form of ever increasing taxes? A lot of it has gone where it shouldn’t go, of course, but there is still a great deal more, even though they only speak of it secretly. The city has a sinking fund of $250,000 lying un~ touched; in one district the electric ‘and water department has a fund of one million dollars, which is also ly- ing idle. * * ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 30.— Masses of workers will gather at Washington Square here at 2 p. m. on February 4th in what is expected | to be the largest demonstration | against hunger and for unemploy- ment insurance ever held in this city. Four hundred workers, including women and children, demonstrated at the meeting of the City Council of Rochester on January 26th at 3 Pp. m. to protest against plans of the Rochester City ‘Welfare’ to intimi~ date and terrorize the workers re- ceiving relief from the city and against the City Lodging House, where workers are being housed un- der forced labor conditions. ‘The speaker of the unemployed delegation was given the floor after all other business of the City Coun- cil was over and while he was speak- ing, the Councilmen sneaked out of the chambers, fearing to voice a re- ply to the 400 workers awaiting a reply. After the speaker was fin- ished, the workers gave him tremen- dous applause and booed the few Councilmen remaining. ~ After, the workers held a short meeting in front of the City Hall, from where they paraded 14 blocks through the streets to the Workers Center Hall where they held a meet~ ing to plan increased activity, tocom- bat the measures taken by the City against the unemployed and make the February 4th Demonstration a dicks of the Lewis machine, stool pigeons and other puguglies.

Start New Lying Campaign About Crisis; to Raise Prices, The movement for inflation of credit and ultimately of currency is moving ahead. Two days ago the Reconstruction Finance Corporat:on act was passed by both houses of Congress. This bill provides for an immense inflation of credit based on | worthless assets of banks that the al- ready bankrupt or nearly so. The in-/ flation that will result is another blow at the living standards of the work- | ers and poor farmers. It will cause an increase in the cost of living while cutting down on the purchas- | ing power of the money which work- | ers earn. The rise in prices will affect the} working class especially through the | jump in the cost of food articles. The | National City Bank Bulletin for Jan., | 1932 admits this with the statement | that: | “There is no reason to believe that final readjustments will leave FOOD and raw material prices in the depths while bringing the prices of manufactured goods | closer to them.” | That the various moves taken by | the Hoover government are infla- | tionary and not merely “anti-defla- | tion” as the hypocritical White House | politicians maintained was clearly re- vealed in the Kiplinger letter pub- lished in the ‘Nation's Business” for January, 1932: “It it inevitable that before this winter is over we shall haye some form of credit expansion. Whether it becomes “inflation” depends on how far it gees, but it is safer to think in terms of moderate ex- pansion, Theoretically, the result will be to raise prices to some un~ determined extent.” Start Ballyhoo Campaign. Behind the diplomatically worded statement is the recognition that | Wall Street has definitely decided on @ policy of inflation. Together with this, there is beginning another “bal- lyhoo campaign” of propaganda to fool the workers into believing that the crisis has been overcome. ‘The Kiplinger Washington Letter, mailed privately to a limited number reyeals the plans for starting this campaign of lies and pollyanna dope. ba ..Ballyhoo campaign is to | States to France took place be cede by influential portions of the press within a week or ten days, and this ought to give a strong temporary boost to business.
