FSU to Hold Two Debates in Bronx on Soviet Gov't Debates Part of Struggle Against War “Is the Soviet Form of Government Applicable to the United States’?, is the question being discussed widely by workers, petty bourgeois liberals, etc., throughout the United States. The capitalists do realize that the Soviet form of government is appli- cable to the United States therefore their provocative war moves against the Soviet Union and their attempts to crush the Chinese Soviets. In order to clarify this question to the workers of New York City, the New York District Friends of the Soviet ‘Union is runing two debates on this subject; one in the West Bronx section on Thursday evening, March 24th at Burnside Manor, 71 85th W. Burnside Avenue and the other in the East Bronx Section, on Friday, March 25th at Ambassador Hall, Third Avenue and Claremont Parkway, at 8 p, m. These are being held in conjunc- tion with FSU Anti-War Demon- strations all over the city. ‘These meetings will be of extraordinary in- terest to all workers. All the delegates elected thus far to go to the Soviet Union for May 1, will also speak at these anti-war de- bate meetings, Set quotas, start revolution- ary competition, in fight to save Daily Worker. A. F. L. Sells Out Furniture Movers McKenna Betra ys Workers NEW YORK,—John McKenna, secretary and treasurer of the A. F, of L. Furniture Handlers Union Local 814 completed the sell out the strike begun on January 27th. against a 10 per cent wage cut. His attempts to sell out the workers was made at the — very beginning when he told the workers to accept the cut, but they refused by a vote of 4 to 1, During the strike he refused to call meetings and report to the workers. The resentment and pressure among the rank and mile made him uneasy and last Sunday he called a meeting. The rank and file put up a demand for 11 workers to compose the strike committee and engage in all nego- tiations with the bosses. McKenna prepared for the meeting by notifying an only small portion of the membership. Many workers have lost their right through his ruling that those unable to pay dues, cannot attend meetings and vote, He brought with him a number of “fellow misleaders.” from other A. F. a barrage of lies and demagogy, \, McKenna put up a counter demand of 10 on the committee, He then pro- ceeded to select his henchman on it and included himself and the presi- dent of the local Mahoney as the rank and file representatives of the furniture movers. With this put over on the workers it was easy sailing for the sell out, with the irony of putting the blame of the lost strike on the “rank and file committee” that is on the workers themselves. McKenna has also deprived most of the membership of their $10 strike benefit, giving the benefit to about one third of the membership thus splitting the ranks of the workers, A group of rank and file members distributed laflets exposing MsKenna. demanding that a rank and file com- mittee of 35 lead the strike, that all workers receive $10 strike benefits, that unemployed workers be exempt from dues that regularly weekly re- ports be made and other demands in the interest of the rank and file. The fear of this message by the officials was shown by a workers was attacked for distributing the leaflets.
