The purpose of this hearing will be to expose the rotten conditions ex- isting amongst the seamen and long- shoremen, The Waterfront Unemployed Coun- cil has sent a challenge to the Sea- men’s Church Institute to explain its failure to provide adequate rel for the unemployed marine workers out of the hundreds of thousands of dol- lars received yearly for that purpose ‘The letter, signed by the secretary of the Waterfront Unemployed Coun- cil, an unemployed seaman, de- clares “Thousands of workers in the ma- rine industry in New York are today facing death from starvation and exposure. Being migratory workers, they are unable to register at any of the city agencies, and there are very few places for these workers to turn to for relief in any form.

F. of L., that “the American workers are too proud to accept any form of federal help.” A letter sent to the United States | Shipping Board pointed out that this agency was also partly responsible for the miserable conditions existing on the waterfronts, and demanded that they send a representative from that body to take up the demands of the unemployed seamen, which in- clude shipping by turn, enforcement of the Manning scale, full pay on laid-up barges, no discrimination | against Negro and foreign-born sea- | men and free medical aid regardless of how long ashore.

The mounting strike struggles under | revolutionary leadership, the increas- ing number of strikes won through- out the world since the beginning of | the crisis were reported, said Ford, | “Side beside with the growing strike | strike struggles,” continued Ford, “is the increased,treachery of the re- formists, the left phrases of the so- cialists, Musteites and A. F. of L.| leaders. These left phrases are used to win the workers away from real | revolutionary struggle in the trade} unions. In organizing the workers to strike, we must at all times carry on a relentless struggle against these| misleaders.” | Mistakes made by the revolutionary | unions and the left opposition were | innumerated by Comrade Ford. The | R. I. L. U. sharply criticized the improper development of the united | front in the various countries. Aj sharp turn in the approach to fac-| tories must be made—that is, organ- ization must begin at the point of productino. More work must be car- | ried on in the reformist unions, in- side of the A. F. of L., so as to con- solidate more correctly a strong uni- ted front. The problems of organ- | izing the unemployed, said Ford, | must be brought to the very fore- | front of the struggles of the trade | “The Negro workers,” said Ford, “play the most important role in the sed in the unemployment struggles in Chicago, the struggles in the south, ete. The unions must now become active in organizing the masses of Negro workers around special de- mands for Negroes. “The struggles of the colonial mas- ses, and especially the struggles of the Latin American workers, must now be taken up by the American trade unions not merely in words, but through deeds, through struggle. And paramount among all the strug- gles is the organization of the masses in the shops to defend the Soviet Union,” To Fight Injunctions Joseph Zack reported on the con- ditions of work in the city of New York. In pointing out that the T. ULULL. is steadily forging ahead in the New York District and have lead considerable strikes against wage- cuts, ete., Zack also pointde to the insufficient shop work, the lack of sufficient mass work in the shops and factories. Comrade Zack went into the prob- lems of the struggle against injunc- tions at great length. “Here is one of the most danger- ous weapons in the hands of the bos- ses,” said Zack, in discussing the in- junction. “It is through the injune- tion that the bosses say who shall organize the workers and who shall not. Through the injunction the bosses give the A. F. of L. over one | trade. The struggle against the in- junction is one of the most important | struggles in our trade union move- ment.” W. Z. Foster, who reported for the | National Bureau of the T. U. U. L., the delegates when he got up to speak. He stressed the necessity of mobilizing all froces to build the re- volutionary trade union movement and the left opposition in the heavy war industry; marine, metal, cham- ical. “Above all,” said Foster, “we must throw all energy available to the task of building the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union to stop shipments of war material to China. The marine industry is the most strategic war industry and we must commence now to develop strikes on the ships and docks against the shipment of arms NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES EAST SIDE—BRONX JEEFERSON —RKO Acts— and Per- TODAY TO TUESDAY —On the Sereen— “MURDERS in the Hunter cival Annie Judy and zeke Karavaeft George Lyons Guyer and Dufty George Dormonde Others | | eareomeaee | 9 want trouble.” He not only submitted | schools for the children of the job- | have told everyone you would hold it | FRANKLIN ‘RUE MORGUE to the original demands but granted other points.

Mother Mooney greeted the “It is true that the T.U.U.D. has doubled its membership,” said Stuben, “it is true we have parti- cipated in many strike struggles, in needle, shoe, textile, metal and other industries. Many of these strikes were either partially or en- tirelly successful. It is true that we have revived our work inside the A. F. of L. unions. In the recent elections in the bu.ding trades. needle and printing unions we have scored some victories. We are also beginning to develop shop work in shoe, metal and railroad. The above mentioned gains are im- portant and we must not belittle them. However, we cannot be s™- isfied with our gains, “If we get to work in a serious manner and build our unions in- side the shops and factories, we will at the same time solve our other major problems such as the devel- opment of broad rank and file movements, good strike prepara- tions.” Resolutions against the imperialist war and in defense of the Soviet Union, a resolution on the Kentucky mine strike, one on the United Front Dress strike, a resolution supporting the struggles of the Cuban workers, one on Tom Mooney, the Scottsboro boys, demanding the release of all class-war prisoners and one endor- sing the sending of a workers’ dele- gation to the Soviet Union under the auspices of the Friends of the Sovict Union on May 1—all these were pre- sented to the conference and unani- mously adopted. ‘The following officers were elected: Chairman of the T.U.U.C,, Adel Jones; Vice-Chairman, Maude White; Secretary, Joseph Zack; Organizer, John Stuben; Assistant Secretary, Leon Litvin. Immediately after the conference the council will meet to form its de- partments. The conference will be followed by conferences of all unions and leagues to carry out the plans of the conference.

Upon being told that the strikers were members of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, a Red Union, one of the Negro workers said: “I better knew it, but I have been red all the time. We are all red here in this neighborhood.” Pickets Arrested Kolkin, Mchlsack, organizers of the Industrial Union, together with 10 other pickets were arrested on the picketline Saturday morning, on the instigation of a Lovestonite.

Kaufman Loses Application For Injunction The application for a temporary injunction taken out by the Kauf~ man clique, together with the I. J. Fox, which came up before Judge Glennon, was denied Friday. The Industrial Union and Joint Council, supported by more than 2,000 affi- davits signed by fur workers, de- manded an open trial. This mass pressure forced the capitalist judge to grant the demand for an open trial. The eagerness with with which the Kaufman gang fought for this in- junction shows definitely that they feel that every effort to subjugate the furriers has failed and that their only hope lies in crushing the strug- gles of the furriers with the aid of injunctions, frame-ups and police persecution as evidenced by the new frame-up against Jack Schneider. Jack Schneider has been released on $1,000 bail and his trial was post- poned untill March 2. Bosses Association Pledges Support UNITED FRONT CALLS TO REJECT SCHLESINGER WAGE-CUT SETTLEMENT To Haufman In the “Women’s Wear” of Friday, there appeared a news item which gives additional proof of the basis of the Kaufman company union. Ac- cording to this item the bosses, toge- ther with Kaufman, have agreed to institute a working card system in an effort to force the fur workers to join the Kaufman company union. The fur workers ridiculed this effort of Kaufman to maintain his company union thru this fake working eard system. The fur workers will insist and fight for their right to belong to the union that is leading them in the struggle for union conditions and will defeat this new scheme of Kaufman and the bosses. Fur Campaign Spreads The organization campaign in the fur trade which was started last week is developing in full swing. About 10 shops were stopped off during the past week. In each instance the workers went on strike against wage reductions and piece work. A striking instance was the shop of Waks Fur Co., 50 W. 29th St. The workers of this shop came down on strike under the leadership of the Industrial Union against a $4 and $5 wage cut. The Kaufman agency im- mediately got on the_job to send scabs to replace the striking workers. When the furriers on the market noticed the scabs going up to the shop they showed their solidarity with the strikers by driving the scabs oft of the market. The firm was then com- pelled to withdraw the wage cut and settle with the workers. As a result of this struggle against wage cuts, the fighting spirit of the workers is increasing from day to day. As work in the fur trade in being resumed, the drive will be ex- tended on a wider scale. Regardless of Kaufman and his injunctions, re- gardless of his thugs, the furriers are determined to go on with their strug- gle for union conditions and drive the Kaufman company union out of existence. The workers of the Handgraft Knitting Mills, of 149 W. 36 St. an- swered a wage cut of 20 per cent to 40 per cent that was declared last week by the bosses, with a strike. The demands placed to the bosses are: recognition of shop organiza- tion, no discrimination, and with- drawal of the wage cut. The strike is conductde by the Knitgoods Dep- artment of the Needle Trades Work- ers Industrial Union.
