a __ DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1932 Page Three ANTHRACITE MINERS URGED TO RANK AND FILE FIGHT Demand Abolition of Off and No Discrimination (By a Worker Correspondent) MINERSVILLE, Pa.—The living conditions of the miners throughout the anthracite regions, are growing worse daily. At least one third of the miners are totally unemployed, with most of the others working only part time. Very few are working full time and those that are working, are working at starvation wages. Wage cut after wage cut has been forced upon them, until many of them. who were once known as the aristocrats of labor, are now working for as low as $2 per day, despite the fact that they had a contract signed by the foal operators and the UMWA offi- cials a couple of years ago thal the wages and working conditions would not be changed for a period of five years and seyen months. Yet the burocratic officials of the U. M, W. of A. insist that the op- erators have not broken the contract: Therefore they refuse the miners the right to strike, with the excuse that if they strike, they, the miners will be breaking the contract, and the operators wil use it as an excuse to cut the wages. Conditions Appalling Conditions have reached such a stage, that the capitalist press (which in the Anthracite is the most reac- tionary of any in the U. S.) is forced to print, accounts of miners’ children dying of starvation. Now there has arisen another variety of misleaders, who call themselves insurgent lead- ers playing upon the misery of the starving miners, by pretending to lead them in a strike for equalization of work, which they tell the miners will divide the work equally among the miners and relieve all their mis- ery, but the program they offer, is enough to prove to any worker that they are not sincere. They say equalization of work without speci- fying any cert ain amount of work per week for each miner. They are holding mass meetings and telling the miners to come out on strike, without offering them any instructions on how to carry on the strike. They tell the miners to go on CARRY ON Speed-Up and Check- lead then | on the picket line, as a result it is mostly a strike of the unemployed against the unemployed. Another trick they use to aid the operators, is to refuse to take the maintenance men out of the mines, which, if done, would force the op- erators to settle or the mines would be rendered useless. One has only to look at who these so-called leaders are and to look at themselves. The movement in District 1 is Maloney and his lieutenant, Shuster, who has already misled two strikes in Dis- trict 1, and turned their grievances over to the official Boylan machine to be settled in favor of the opera- tors. The ringleader in getting the movement started in District 9 Dorghety who played the same game did in District 1.° Build Rank and File Control The rank and file committee of miners which is now working in all sections of the coal fields is calling on the miners to repudiate the fake ; leaders and take the struggle in their own hands. This can be done by the mniers in each local union of 25 members electing a committee to lead the strugle. Each local strike rank and file body of 5 to compose a general strike committee to carry on the struggle for the following de- mands: J, The equalization of work on the basis of 4 days per week for every miner at the union rate of wages. 2. The reopening of all mines closed as discrimination to force wage-cuts and the closing of all washeries. 3. Abolition of the speed-up in the mines. 4. Abolition of the check-off. 5, That all miners permanently unemployed through the exhaus- tion of their mines, be given im- mediate cash relief paid by the coal operators and the state and the picket line, but fail to go and federal governments. Murphy Guts Out Relief for Children Detroit, Mich. Dear Comrades: While Mayor Murphy called a Child Health Conference in continua- tion of President Hoover's enterprise, the welfare hand-out was cut twen- ty-five per cent. This is, accordinz to Murphy, a scientific management of the Detroit Welfare Department. The lunches that were given to the school kids have been cut. out entire- ly. And on top of that the school kids will have to buy more paper tablets, because the school authorities Must economize and have stopped the supply of paper which formerly was given the kids in the schools. Last year the City Controller, Roosevelt, discovered that a man can but who discovered that a man can live on the sum of 80 cents per week, no one seems to know. The mayor gives no more, that’s all there is to it. He has to save the bankers. To hell with the working class—is his motto. He will call a Child Health Conference, and the fools will say to themselves, “Is not this Murphy a great man?” Like hell they will say that. They will organize, and they are doing it right along. The workers are flock- ing into the Communist Party, the Young Communist League, the Un- employed Councils and the Young Pioneers. They are fools no more, exist on a sum of $1.25 per week, and they won't be fooled all of the time! . F. 6. Forced Labor for Kansas City Unemployed (By a Worker Correspondent) KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The Helping Hand Institue has a false reputation of giving adequate relief to single unemployed workers. It is a commercial charitable insti- tution. ‘The name, home addres, occupation, physical ability, etc, must be given when registering. Three days is the time limit for any one. Although it can be arbitrarily cut down when one fails to work. The institution holds about 500 workers who sleep in double deck beds, There is no place to hang the clothes. We must sleep on them. ‘There are rooms rented out at hotel coffee in the morning, and soup or Stew, bread and coffee at noon and night Every one is expected to work for his meals and lodging. The institute has made arrange- ments with the Kansas City Terminal Co to cut away a rock bluff and cut the stone into ballast One hundred workers cut this stone for 10c a box. Ordinarily a contractor would do this work, but it is cheaper to have the unemployed work in the form of meager fod and rotten lodging, which costs much less than what is earned. Nearly thre-fourths of the unem- ployed workers in the institute. are rates. The food is inadequate, consisting less than 40 years old, one-eighth are less than 20 years old Negroes are segregated. Salvation Army Supplies Scab Labor (By a Worker Correspondent) New York. Daily Worker : Due to the prosperity of Mr. Her- bert Hoover's administration I was forced to walk the streets of New ‘York last night. At 5 a. m, I was standing at 59th St. and Broadway wondering how I could get something to eat for my last nickle, I started down to the Bowery, a place I had not been in many years. I stopped in front of a restaurant next door to the Salvation Army. There was a sign in the window which said, “Coffee and Rolls 5 Cents.” 7 I had to travel all the way from 59th St. to get something to eat with my last five cents. After having the coffee and stale buns I walked out of hte restaurant. ‘There were about twenty men stand- ing in front of the door. A Salvation Army man came over and asked them if they wanted to work. They asked what kind of work it was. The Salvation Army man said that it was unloading lumber. The pay, he said, would be 20 cents an hour. It turned out that this job was the hardest knid of labor that only the most physically fit could do. The Salvation Army got a rake-off for supplying this scab labor. Workers Foil Sheriff's Eviction Plan (By a Worker Correspondent) CHICAGO, Il.—On March 21, Mr. Starr, superviser of the Morgan Sh flop house, 1210 Morgan St., came down to the basement and announced that there was a boss who wanted six geod men to do some easy work. The job, he said, would last fifteen minutes and the wages would be 25 cents. ‘The men surged upstairs to get the job, The boss, who happened to be ® sheriff in this case picked out the stopped in front of a building and cheerfully told the workers that they were to throw the furniture of a cer- tain family who could not pay their rent into the street.

Following the strike at the Cru- sader Cafeteria, which was lost be- cause an injunction was taken out, I noticed these Yipsels and students eating there.

BALTIMORE.—A growing wave of rebellion is developing amongst the rank and file of the International Longshoremen’s Association against {the proposals of the officials to vol- untarily accept a wage-cut from the shipowners April Ist. The sell-out pplans haye been exposed by the Marine Workers Industrial Union, which has called upon the rank and file to reject the proposals, vote strike against the wage-cut, and to elect rank-and-file committees to fight the wage-cut. The latest revolt occurred in Balti- more, where Ryan's proposals for a voluntary: wage-cut were unanimous- ly rejected by the rank-and-file of the I. L. A. at a special membership meeting, March 24th. At this meet- ing, Ryan appeared personally for the first time in any.port, and begged the men to accept a 10-cent hourly reduction in pay and reduction of compensation from $20 to $17.50. No publicity was given for the special meeting, but the plans of the officials to put something over on the tank and file were defeated by the Marine Workers Industrial Union, who held a meeting at Locust Point, exposing the plans of the fakers and calling upon the workers to go to the meeting and vote strike against the proposals. As the longshoremen were going to the meeting a special leaflet was dis- tributed to them. At the meeting Ryan launched an attack against the “reds,” but the longshoremen fol- lowed out the program of the M. W. I. U. and defeated the proposals of Ryan. | Last Tuesday in Philadelphia the rank and file voted down the pro- posals and over a thousand long- shoremen attended an open-air meet- ing called by the M. W. I. U. Thurs- day, and when the gangsters of Polly Baker attempted to break up the meeting they were prevnted from doing so by the rank and file. This meetjng is the best one that has been held on Delaware Avenue, and illus- trates the growing rank and file movement and the increasing in- fiuence of the M. W. I. U. The latest maneuvers on the part |of the officials have given greater | emphasis to the coming world Unity | Congress, and the I. L. A. longshore- men are discussing it and the election of a rank-and-file member of the I. L. A. to represent the longshore- men in Hamburg. 200 WORKERS DEMAND RELIEF AF.L. Backs Bosses; Calls Demands Foolish UTICA, N. Y.—A group of 200 un- employed workers, hearing that relief funds were completely exhausted, and that they were faced with starvation went to City Hall and demanded to speak to Mayor Donnelly and to put their demands to the city. ‘A committee of six was elected ta draw up and present the demands, The demands were endorsed unan- imously, providing a minimum cash relief of $15, no evictions, free gas and electricity for the unemployed. ‘The Mayor said they were “imposs- ible,” and asked they be placed on “file for consideration.” At a mass meeting called the next day over 250 workers attended and Council. The city boss politicians are counting on the support of the A. F. of L., headed by Mike Walsh, present of the Trades Assembly, to help ex- pose the demands of the workers. In an interview with the capitalist press, A. F. of L. leaders were quoted as: saying that the demands of the starv- ing workers for relief was “foolish,” because all funds were exhausted.

We are doing you a fa- vor. There is no telling what might happen then.” After remaining in Knoxville to make sure no attempt was made upon the committee of four students sent to Pineville, the National Stu- dent League delegation left early yesterday morning over Jellico Road on their way to Frankfort, Ky., where they intend seeing Governor | Laffoon. They. will demand of him that he take immediate steps to guarantee their safe tour of the Ken- tucky coal fields.

The committee will be | composed of Robert Hall of Colum- | bia University; Pauline Daum, grad- uate student of New York Univer- sity; Arthur Goldschmidt, of Colum- bia University; Maurice Pavlon, of the University of Tennessee, and J. M. Leboit, teacher in Jamaica Con- tinuation High School. Pauline Daum is the student who was told by one of the Kentucky deputy sheriffs: “You little rat, I'd like to take you up that thar hill and skin you alive and throw your fur down to your friends,” ‘The complete delegation now in- cludes representatives from Harvard, Colby, Carnegie Tech, University of Wisconsin, University of Tennessee, University of Cincinnati, Columbia University, New York University, Hunter College, College of the City of New York, day and evening ses- sions; Smith College, Oxford, Union Theological Seminary. A consider- able number in the delegation are college graduates, now teachers or instructors in the various high schools and colleges. Before leaving Knoxville the stu- dents made public their protest against the forcible inclusion of ay reporter of the Knoxville Journal in the second bus of the delegation and the attack upon one of the members of the delegation when he protested this act. J. M. Leboit, a teacher in the Ja- maica Continuation High School, was thrown from the bus, beaten and Kicked as he lay on the gravel after having protested against the placing of the Knoxville reporter in the bus. ‘When the students threatened to force a United States marshal to guarantee their passage over a fed- eral highway, a Harlan County dep- uty sheriff laughed, took a handful of bullets from his pockets and said: “We have these for United States marshals.” That there was no conflict be- tween the Kentucky officials and the Wall Street government at Washing- For the first time since the dis- cussion on the sales tax was a state~ ment of position issued by the various party leaders.

He said: “Moreover, 1 haye faith to be- lieve that if convinced the need can not be supplied from other sources they may be willing to return to the plan of the sales tax as a last resort,” The statement of Shouse, who is Raskob's choice for chairman of the coming Democratic National Conven- tion, is seen as the beginning of a series of maneuyres in preparation for the conyng presidential cam- paign, The crisis has split ty mgcratic yarty Into two camps, breeg hh smi | a@ Raskob and Smith © def nitely waving for support of tee “gonserva- fuge” elements, while the geyup in the | ieee which voted sgatrwt the sales | the eeary suined,/ Split in Boss Party Ranks on Tax; Coal Tariff’ Passed middle class is attempting to line up the “radical vote.” Behind cover of a petit-bourgeois | movement to “soak the rich” by im- posing a series of income and estate taxes, which the millionaires can evade, the “insurgents” in the House are beginning their election campaign with an eye to a demagogic appeal to the masses and to the crisis shaken middle class, At the same time that the Wall St. government through the medium of President Hoover issued a statement that a number of “economics” would have to be made, the intensive pre- parations for war were clearly in- dicated.
