CONFERENCE LAYS PLANS FOR EXTENSIVE ORGANIZATIONAL CAMPAIGN TH¥f IMMEDIATE AIM MUST BE TO PREPARE STRIKES AGAINST WAGE CUTS CLEVELAND, Ohio.—A rising spirit of working-class militancy was re- ported to the district conference of the Trade Union Unity League by delegates from all over Ohio. The conference was held in Cleveland on Jan. 31 and was attended by 102 del- egates representing the revolutionary trade unions, minority groups in American Federation of Labor locals, ‘employed and fraternal organiza~ \ions. The rubber, steel and railroad industries were well represented, del- egates were present from Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Mansfield, War- ren and Erie, as well as Cleveland. ‘The growth of the auto workers union in Cleveland and the fect that am increasing number of building ‘Workers are turning to the T. U. U. L. ‘Were cited as recent gains. The con- ference recognized, however, in the resolution adopted, that “insufficient organizing activities constitute the weakest point on our trade union work in the past.” “Our immediate aim must be the preparing for strike against wage cuts and to this end, the center of our activity must be in the shops,” the conference resolved. “Points of concentration in this district must be ‘the steel, rubber, chemicals, railroads. “The building of the T. U. U.

Large-scale industry assembles a mass of persons in one locality, Persons who have known nothing of one another. Competition dis- unites them. But in order to keep up wages—an interest they have in common and one which is in conflict with the boss—the workers unite to resist any attempt at a cut, they form a ‘coalition’ Such a coalition has a twofold aim: to lessen competition among the workers; and to concentrate the whole strength of the workers in their combat with the capitalists. The first aim may appear to be nothing more than an endeavor to uphold the level of wages. Yet on closer inspection we find that to the degree the capitalists join forces in order to repress the workers, so the various coalitions, of workers tend to become groups; and, in view of the solidarity among the capitalists, the main- tenance of these unified groups becomes, in the eyes of the workers who have formed them, even more important than the maintenance of the wage-level. So true is this, that, to the extreme surprise of the English economists, the work- ers sacrifice a considerable portion of their wages in order to provide fands for the unions which, ac- cording to the same economists, were founded only to protect wages! In the course of these struggles veritable civil war—all elements of the coming battle are being united. Therewith coalitions reach the point where they as- sume a political character.” (Karl Marx, “Mistere de la philosophie,” p. 240-1.) national Labor Defense and Phil Bart on behalf of the Communist Party. ‘Telegrams of solidarity were sent to the Kentucky and Tennesee min- ers, Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro Negro boys. Telegrams of protest were sent to the governors of the states concerned. ST. PAUL PACKINGHOUSE WORKERS OR- GANIZING TO FIGHT PAY-CUT 8T. PAUL, Minn.—In the South St.) was o rganized among the packing- Paul Packinghouse there are close to 4,000 workers employed. For the last two years a series of wage cuts have been instituted. At the same time in the Swift, Armour, Cudahy, an impossible speed-up has been in- stituted called the “B” system. This system works so that the worker has a standard of production and if he should go over it, he gets g bonus. However, the meat trust uses this in its interest by raising the standard and making it physically impossible to make the higher standard. Of course, this cuts into the wages of the workers with the result that wages for the butchers is down to 47 cents when before they were paid 62 cents, the common laborers were getting 42% cents are now getting 36 cents. Young workers that pre- viously got 35 cents are getting only 24 cents now. Women workers get- ting 35 cents are now getting 26 cents. ‘The last wage cut was given in Armours and Swifts in November, which amounted to 15 per cent. At Cudahys only recently on January 6th the butchers were given 2 20 per cent cut. Shop Groups Set Up ‘The officials of both Swift and Armour have made statements to the effect that another wage cut will be put through in the near future. They want to have the 1912 wage scale of 15 to 20 cents an hour. ‘The packing house workers are be- sinning fo see the necessity for or- ganization and for militant action. Shop groups have been set up in the Swift, Armour, Cudahy, and United Packing plants. The Food Workers Industrial Union is carrying on an extensive campaign among the pack- ing house workers. The house workers are joining the union very fast because they see that this is the only militant organization that ‘will fight for them. ‘The packing house workers stil! re- member the strike of 1921 and when house workers in South St. Paul. About half of these are employed workers who realize the importance of having “both employed and unem- ployed fighting against the bosses in their efforts to cut wages, etc. The time is not far off when the workers will come out on strike against the bosses under the leadership of the Food Workers Industrial League affil- iated to the Trade Union Unity League. , ‘NOTHING TO EAT’ —MINERS WIFE Need Funds for the Prisoners’ Families PITTSBURGH, Pa.—“My son and I went to the County Welfare for help. They said: ‘You go to the Ntional Miners’ Union for help. If your husband is fighting for them, let them help you.’” So writes Mrs. Pauline Crillo of Bast Pittsburgh, wife of the militant miner, Tony Crillo, who is serving @ jail sentence for strike activities in the mine area here last year. Mrs. Crillo has received some funds from the International Labor De- fense, but not enough to live on. “If you send me something, I will find a place to stay at, my mother’s. Please do something for me, for we haven't anything to eat.” Another letter of stark hunger in the mine camp comes from Mrs. Ruth West, of Fvarts, Ky. She writes: “My husband belongs to the Na- tional Miners’ Union and some thugs framed a whiskey case on him and he is now in jail serving a six months’ sentence. T have three smal) children, 2, 4 and 6 years, and they are in need of clothes and food, Anything you send would be appre- ciated.” Hundreds of mine strike prisoners’ Litvinoff Proposes Total Disarmament (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) “that the Soviet delegation denies the importance and the efficacy of other ways of consolidating peace short of total disarmament. We have by no means come here mere- ly to put before you again the pro- posal of total disarmament or to declare that we are determined to Rave all or nothing. We have no illusions whatsoever as ot the fate in store for our propositions. Our delegation is ready to discuss any proposal tending to reduce arma- ments, and the further such reduc- tions go the more readily will the Soviets take part in the work of the conference.” Litvinoff forcefully reminded the conference that the Soviet Union was the first to propose the second draft of the convention before the Pre- paratory Disarmament Commission, the complete destruction of the most, aggressive types of armaments, in- cluding tanks, super-heavy artillery, ships over 10,000 tons, naval artillery over twelve inches, aircraft carriers, military dirigibles, bombing planes and chemical and _ bacteriological wartare. “The Soviets,” he said, “will warmly support any proposals ap- proaching or outstripping our own and will support equal rights for all countries in this conference and equal security for all states.” Scores Economic Blockade. Litvinoff then exposed the politi- cal and economic boycott of the im- perialist nations against the U. S. S. R., of which America is a leader, and the slanderous campaign of lies that is being spread in the capitalist press: “The country I represent is in a less favorable position regarding se- curity than other countries. Only Judge Jones, Coal Operators’ Tool PicksGrand Jury Secretly NEW YORK.—Judge D. C. Jones of Harlan and Bell Coun- ties, Kentucky, is accused in a telegram sent him today by the International Labor Defense of New York of “hand-picking in secrecy the grand jury of coal operator agents which is to railroad miners, union leaders, and relief agents to long prison Sentences for fighting the tyranny@—————_____ of the coal companies, their sheriffs; “Without Judge Jones’ aid they and deputized gunmen,” Every juror is an “operator's man,” according to the organization which is defending the 102 miners and de- fense or relief agents charged with criminal syndicalism because of strike activities. The Labor Defense ac- cuses Judge Jones of “slipping quiet'y into Pineville on February 5, late in the afternoon, getting the names of prospective grand jurors from the of- fice of the circuit court clerk, going into a private room with the draw- ing machine, and without a single witness, selecting his own grand jury to be called into sessién the third week in February.” The telegram from the Interna- tional Labor Defense reads: “Two hundred thousand supporters of the International Labor Defense denounce your secret hand-picking of grand jury composed of coal com- pany agents to railroad miners, un- ion leaders, and relief agents to long prison sentences for fighting peonage and starvation in coal camps. We demand right of workers to hold meetings without interference of the armed thugs. Right to get relief without having food for starving miners stolen by sheriff's gunmen. Restoration of all constitutional rights, mail, literature, free assem- blage, free speech now denied by the ruthless despotism of sheriffs abetted by you and your court. Release of all prisoners framed for murder, cri- minal syndicalism, liquor possessions, fourteen years ago it was the ob- ject of an armed attack, a blockade and a political and economic boy- cott. Since then it has been the object of indescribable slander and a hostile campaign.” Of all the delegates who spoke at the conference, the Soviet delegate was the only one to speak of the war that is now going on in the Far East: “The present events in the Far East cannot ‘but cause special anxiety to the Soviets in view of the nearness of the theater of events, where a huge army is oper- “We have had to begin our work to the accompaniment of the dis- tant rumbling of cannon and the explosion of bombs from the air. Two states, mutually bound by the League of Nations Covenant and the Paris Treaty of 1928, have been in a state of war de facto if not de jure for five months. No war is yet registered with a notary public, but vast territories in one of these countries have been occupied by armed forces of the other nation and battle is being waged in which thousands are being killed and wounded.” Attacks Tardieu’s Police Force. Exposing M. Tardieu’s call for an international imperialist police force as a call to arms against the Soviet Union and the colonial nations, Lit- vinoff asked: ) “What guarantees are there that such an international army would be put into operation, and that in good time before the weaker party to the conflict was crushed? What guarantees would there be that the aggressor will really be found and that when found it will really be he? Suppose an armed conflict is going on somewhere, whether it has the official stamp of war or not. First of all, it must be estab- lished who is the aggressor and who is the victim and whether there has been infringement of international treaties and undertakings. In most cases this is no complicated matter and the unsophisticated man in the street would have little difficulty in finding the answer and no doubt the answer would be the right one. But international organizations and governments are not always ready with the answer nad are reduced to issuing appeals, exhortations and threats simultaneously to both sides.” {How would an international army deal with the situation,” asked Com- rade Litvinoff, “and might it not be undesirable to establish which is the guilty side? “After all, such an army could hardly bombard both sides simul- taneously so as to make sure of chitting the aggressor. “It is proposed to create a new army to join forces with those of a State that 1s recognized to have been the victim of an attack,” he said. “Thus the state which in- tends to attack another will have to’ reckon in advance not only on the forces of its immediate enemy but on those armies, so to speak, allied to its enemy. Thus an ag- gressor would take into considera- tion the forces of the international army in laying its war plans.” Litvinoff was preceded by Paul Hymans, Belgian Foreign Minister. Hymans announced that he sup- ported the French plan for a world imperialist army, which is really aimed at the U. S. 8. R. He also ment, which is the only theory sup- ported by all the imperialist powers, whether they admit it or not.

The quashing of iridictments against 150 miners victims of coal company tyr- anny working through armed gun- men, sheriffs, and your office.’ ‘That Judge Jones had been “one of the chief agents of thé coal compan- ies in maintaining a reign of feudal terror over starving coal miners” and “has supported every savage and bru- tal device of Sheriff John Henry Blair and Sheriff James Baker to outlaw the miners’ strike and smash thefr union” is the charge made in a statement issued today by George Maurer, assistant, secretary of the International Labor Defense. “Without the connivance and sup- port of Judge Jones and other court Maurer, “the hired gunmen and the sheriffs of these counties could not so well carry out their ruthless policy of terror, could not so brazenly kidnap miners, beat them up, drive them out of the county, and threaten their lives. “With Judge Jones’ aid the gun- ™men have been able to confiscate food and relief sent to the starving miners, raid their relief warehouses, and drive them away from stations where food is being served. Here is an un- exampled picture of the courts work- ing hand in hand with the armed tools of the coal companies to starve strikers into submission. “With Judge Jones’ aid the ‘law’ of Bell County deprives miners of their mail and newspapers; carries out raids on union headquarters; ar- Tests and holds incommunicado even our lawyer, Allan Taub, whora we sent down to provide bali and defense for arrested relief workers “Without Judge Jones’ aid the courts, by every trickery and ruse, doge hearings on writs of habeaus corpus filed by Taub to secure the release of relief and defense agents arrested over a month ago and still held victims of this coal-company- judge-sheriff-gunman consipracy to enforce peonage of Kentucky miners. “Forty-one murder frame-ups clut- ter the docks of the Harlan County Court—Judge Jones’ Court. There are 102 criminal syndicalism cases to come up on March 21—all arising from the desperate attempt of the coal miners owners to keep the min- ers down in the pit of debt, hunger, disease and living death, where they found themselyes until they organ- ized their union. “Even the expression of sympathy for the miners is forbidden by this officials in the coal war area,” says, administrator of the ‘law’ tn Harlan. It was Judge Jones who instructed the grand jury to indict Theodore Dreiser and the committee of writers last November with ‘criminal syndi- calism.’ This was done after they had exposed this judge as sitting on cases where the mine property of his wife's family was involved and had openly accused him of hand-picking his jury, rrilroading all miners on trumped up offenses, and playing hand in hand with the coal operators against the coal diggers in every case. “The International Labor Defense is calling upon al] its members and sympathizers to combat this terror by exposing all judges, sheriffs, depu- ties and coal operators, and by a campaign of public jrotest and con- demnation.” U.S. CONSUL CALLS FOR WAR ON CHINESE RED ARMY, MASSES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONB) ing of the shops of the Chinese mer~ chants has forced them to keep their doors closed. A Shanghai dispatch reports that “business was done only surrepti- tiously, the threat of the street unions being sufficient to keep doors closed.” The demands of the workers are re- ported to be “complete withdrawal of the Japanese forces from the settle- ment, the return of missing Chinese and a guarantee from the Municipal Council that there will be no further provocative attack by Japanese.” Japanese airplanes yesterday bomb- ed the Wington cotton mills while 3,000 Chinese operatives, mostly wo- men and youth, were at work. Four women workers and one man were killed. Scores were injured by the bursting bombs and in the panic which followed. The Wington Cotton Mills are in the so-called International Settle- ment. The United States has made a@ mild protest against the activities of the Japanese planes over the Settlement, but has attempted to pass off the bombing of the mills as “an accident.” ‘The Wall Street imperialists are helping to finance the Japanese ag- gressions in China and their war moves against the Soviet Union. Huge quantities of munition and raw ma- terial are being sold the Japanese on credit. The Japanese are now sending to the United States $18,500,000 in gold to strengthen their credit with the Wall Street bankers. Five million of this amount arrived last Sunday. Since the first of the year, the Jap- anese have sent $28,500,000 in gold to the United States. Since the invasion of Manchuria, they have sent a total of $181,370,000 in gold to San Fran- cisco. A few days ago, the Japanese Cab- inet decided to appropriate $11,900,000 (at yesterday's exchange) to push the war against the Chinese masses. Workers! Fight against the impe- rialist war plot.

We want to disarm others, but arm ourselves.’ “The editorial describes the French prop sal as the ‘frankest and most finished expression of the French desire to establish a mili- tary hegemony over Europe in ad- dition to the political and financial influences France already possesses’ and ‘nothing else but a carefully Prepared program for anti-Soviet intervention’ because, it is thought here, a so-called League of Nations army and air fleet, if ever consti- tuted, would enable France to solve the chief problem in the anti-Soviet Projects of the French genezal staff, namely, the transport of troops, across Europe to aid Poland in the face of German opposition.’ (Oppo- sition of the revolutionary German masses—Editor, Daily Worker.) “The editorial ends on an unusually vigorous §note—unusually vigorous, that is, in comparison with the re- serve and silence of the Soviet press toward world affairs in recent days. ‘The writer says: “The imperialist powers are being driven to war by the pressure of the world crisis, but the Soviet Union is not suffering from the crisis—to the Chattanooga Labor Officials Line Up With Coal Operators CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.

They tried by all means to disrupt the meeting, but were unsuccessful. The miners accepted a fighting pro- gram and elected a Rank and File Committee. SIMPSON, Pa.—The Rank and File Committee called a mass meet- ing of the Coalbrook miners here, on Wednesday. The American Legion of Simpson who meet in the same hall were to leave the place at 7:15, but knowing that the miners were to meet after them, purposely held the hajl after their meeting to celebrate over a cache of beer. The miners gathered for the meet- ing, but could not come in. The Com- mittee then arranged for another hall, some distance away. The min- ers were determined to hold their meeting and marched in a line or- @anized two abreast, calling upon other workers on the street to join the line. The meeting was the most enthusiastic ever held in Simpson. A Rank and File Committee were elected to join the other locals, and to prepare the fight for the program of the rank and file.

These workers had been arrested by the Spanish “Socialist” Coalition government for their part in the series of strikes which have swept Spain in recent weeks as the workers and peasants began their offensive against the “Socialist” regime of starvation and terror.

For the working class inflation means a fall in the value of all money. The fall in the purchasing power of money will lead to a rise in prices that will further reduce the sttandard of living of the starving millions. Inflation will not cut down unem- Ployment because the additional money put into circulation will not and is not intended, to be used for production but to bolster up the fin- ancial position and make easier the financial transactions of the Wall St. parasites. ‘The government deficit of almost two billion dollars, part of which the HUGE PAPER MONEY ISSUE TO CUT MASS LIVING STANDARD capitalists hope to pay by means of worthless paper money, will also cause the levying of unbearable tax- ation on articles of mass consump- tion.
