Page Two ae AILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1932 Workers Condemn Muste at Prospect Club Debate NEW YORK.—The large crowd , that ever packed the Prospect: Work- | ers Club unanimously endorsed the program of the Trade Union Unity League, Friday night, following a de- bate between William F. Dunne, who spoke for the T U. L., and A. J Muste, head of the Conference for | Progressive Labor Action Over a thousand workers had to! remain this infect2d spot—the \ Muste- | be turned away at the door on ac- count of lack of seating capacity, and| all during |the evening masses of | workers crowded the block in front | of the club. | The subject of the debete was,| “Which Way Out for the American | Working Class?” and from the thun- | | Gerous applause which greeted Com-| rade Dunne and the boos that| greeted Mr. Muste it was obvious frat the workers prefer the revolu- | tionary the Trade Union| Unity League. Corliss Lamont, instructer of Pile} esophy at Columbia, was chairman. | After a brief introduction, Comrade | Dunne launched into a concrete speech, plainly and simply giving the line and revolutionary policy of the| Trade Union Unity League and ex- | posing the line oi ihe sareniied Muste §roup as the line of reaction against | real revolutidnazy struggle. | “Long ago we have characterized the Muste group,” said Dunne. “Tt | lis necessary for the socialists to have | their right wing and their Laid wing! line of ‘They must have their right wing to keep in contact with the bourgeoisie and their left wing to maintain con- tact with the masses. group represents|this left wing. When the Thomas's and Hillquits have all |been completely discredited and ! have | j been driven back into the ranks of | those they support, there will still | ites. Dunne then proceeded to expose the recent Muste sellouts; the Dan- ville affair, where Muste's aids called out the National Guard against the | workers; the recent sellouts in the| garment industry; in Elizabeth and West Virginia. All of these accusations Mr, Muste | was unable to answer. His whole line of debate was one of attack against the Communist Party and the T. U. U. L. He quoted volumi- nously from Party self criticism, as though he had |made « discovery. Indeed, the audience nearly laughed |Muste off the stage when he said |that his movement was le ading the | fight to free Mooney. None of the pertinent questions asked by Dunne were answered by Muste. And when Muste compi2ted his talk the applause was so feeble that one could scarcely hear it. On the other hand applause shook the | house in favor of the T. U. U. L program, Directives for Signature Drive for Jobless Insurance The National Committee of the Unemployed Councils has issued the following drections after an analy- sis of five weeks work in the drive} for 1,000 signatures to endorse the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill. The Daily prnts this important | statement in full. 1, “We emphasize once again the| need for concentrating our main ef- forts on the development and muiti- Plication of the LOCAL STRUG- GLES around the most immediate and pressing needs of the unem- ployed in the neigboroods, flop- houses, bread lines, etc. (Against increasing, widespread attempts to curtail relief; against evictions; for more adequate relief; against discri- mination and abuse of workers in need of relief; for free food to school | children, etc.) 2. More attention must be given te the mobilization ef the workers themselves in these struggles and to the development in the process of the united front committees, elected by the workers themselves, in the blocks, neighborhoods, flop-houses, factories, unions and other places where workers gather. 3, All leading committees of the unemployed movement must con- seiously direct the struggle in such @ manner as to link even the most minute issues with our central issue. Bach partial struggle must be un- dersteod by the workers who engage in it as a struggle for a greater meas- ure of security and the Werkers Un- employment Insurance Bill must be ing the maximum possible security against unemployment and its effects understood as the means of provid- upon the living standards of the to the present session of Congress, as workers, 4. Instead of sending a delegate was originally proposed, we will de- fer presentation ef our demands to Congress until such time as we have consolidated and organized a greater Proportion of the mass sentiment for unemployment insurance into con- scious support of our Bill. Cuch pre- sentaton will probably take place at the opening of the next session of Congress. 35. In the meantime, we shall continue even moro systematically to gather signatures and secure col- lective endorsements for our bill, This shall become part of our daily activity as a means of establishing contacts with workers and the or- ganizations of which they are mem- bers and of f draw ing them into the struggles for relief and unemploy- ment insurance. 6. In those states where the laws provide for the initiative referendum, we shall avail ourselves of this means for bringing about action on our Bill. 7. Decisive improvement must be effected in our propaganda and agi- tational activity. We must more vi- gorously combat the many demagogic “relief”? and “insurance” schemes which are being put forward as a means of confusing and dividing the workers. This shall involve the wide- spread sale on a mass scale of our literature and of our fighting fund stamps the income from which will provide means for all our activities. A full meeting of the National Committee will be held in the near future in order carefully to analyze the work of the Councils for the re- cent period and te work out a com- prehensiye program for the next six months period.

Comrade Amter, as a mass leader in every struggle of the workers stands out today as an in- | spiration and symbol of the best pro- letarian revolutionary leader. His 50th birthday becomes a significant event to the alrge masses of workers.

Brooklyn Workers Force Relief Buro to Cough Up Aid NEW YORK.—An elected com- mittee from the Williamsburg Un- employed Council on April 8 forced the Home Relief Bureau there to give immediate relief for a number of families in the neighborhood, Al- though the bureau said they would register no new cases, they were forced by the workers to register these famliies and to promise imme- diate aid. The council has held open air meetings in the neighborhood re- cently to expose the starvation plans of the bosses. The Home Relief Bu- reaus are shutting down now when unemployment is getting worse. They do not want to give any help to work- ers who have recently been laid off. The Williamsburg committee is fol- lowing up this victory with the pres- entation of a number of demands for immediate relief and no discrimina- tion against single, Negro and women workers.

More than $199,750,000 of the $210,- |economy will come directly as a re- | sult of the inauguration of a whole system of wage cuts, mass dismissals, stagger plan, unpaid overtime, and repeal of sick leaves and vacations with pay for rank and file civil ser- vice employees. The single point on which the Com- mittee and Hoover were fully agreed | was the refusal to touch in any way |the appropriations for the War and Navy Departments. Even the pro- posal to consolidate the two depart- ments was flatly turned down. A significant’ feature of the 18 measures for economy was the fact that the only ones which carried specific estimates a s to reductions jin expenditures to be accomplished were in those departments affecting |the civil service employees and the World War veterans. The remaining President Hoover Saturday, agreed | 000,000 proposed by the committee for | Plan Economies at Cost nk and File Government Workers items were purposely left vague in anticipation of the rejection of any of them that in any way interfered | with the immense parisitic bureau- jeracy built up under the imperialist | rule of Wall St. The economy proposals call for the | firing of all civil service employees who have been working for a certain number of years; for the suspension lof the grants given by the govern- |ment to the Federal Vocational Schools; the slash of from $39,900,000 to $80,000,000,000 in appropriations for World War veterans; the intro- duction of the five day week for civil service workers who are hired by the day; the staggering of the rest by discharging a certain number every few weeks and replacing them by those who have been laid off; repeal of all money grants to postal em- |ployees to pay for delivery cars, and other conveyances thus forcing them jto pay for them out of their own pockets; repeal of right to annual leave or sick leave with pay in excess of two weeks. Two alternative proposais were put forward in place of the section deal- ing with the mass firing of em- ployees working for more than a specific number of years. They in- cluded a sweeping wage cut of 11 per cent for all workers getting aboye $1,000 a year and the abolition of the Saturday half holiday. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) even that. “Against this plan te |starve to death thousands of the working jclass we must organize the ,most ‘stubborn fight, to force Tammany | Hall and the bankers to give relief to every unemployed worker, without cuts er discrimination,” Winters said. He then proposed the plan of action proposed by th eUnemployed Coun- cil for discussion and adoption. In the discussion, John Steuben, organizer of the Trade Union Unity Council of New York, in supporting the plans, promised that the T. U. U. C. would help mobilize the trade unions and their members in |the fight for the unemployed. He proposed that the conference jsend a telegram to Mayor Walker with the demands of the conference, demanding a hearing before the next meeting of the board of aldermen. This was accepted. Delegates from the fioor told of cenditions of the unemployed, that suffering is increasing, and of the discriminations against many and of the successes in getting relief when they went in large bodies and de- termined to fight, All delegates spoke for the plan of action. Additional motions were accepted to mobilize the workers from the bread lines in this fight. These motions were from the delegates coming from the bread lines. Wiseman, District Organizer of the Unemployed Councils, in calling for support for the plans for mobiliza- tion, appealed for finances from the organizations represented. to help carry through the campaign, which demands 250,000 leaflets from |the many other expenses. In spite of the fact that the delegates did not come prepared, many responded, besides a collection from the delegates them- selves. The adopted; 1. That all workers’ organizations open up existing headquarters in the nei ghborhood of the Home Re- lief Bureau, stations, to be kept open day and night for the next two weeks for the registration of the unemployed in the neighbor- hood. 2. That all workers’ organizations assign forces to act as organizers in these headquarters, to register on the supporters cards of the Un- employed Council—to organize daily protest open-air meetings at t he Home HKelief Bureau stations daily. 3, That the workers in the terri- NEIGHBORHOOD THEATRES BAST SIDE—BRONS JEN ||| FRARKON TODAY TO TUESDAY “Dancers in the Dark” IAM HOPKINS, JACK A tel Pavcageiied COLLIER Jt NEW LOW PRICES MATS, 15 Cents || EVES. 25 Cents Except Sat, Sun. and Holidays following decisions were With EAST SIDE NOW PLAYING!

New Soviet Film at Acme Theatre Large and enthusiastic audiences greeted the opening Saturday at the Acme Theatre, on 14th Street, of the new Soviet film, “The Revolt in the Desert.” In itself a stupendous production enacted by an entire tribe of desert noinads, with only three professional actors, the picture depicts one of the most stupendous achievements in the building of Socialism in the most re- mote and formerly backward sec- tions of the U, &.

PLAN BLACKLIST FOR TAXI MEN NEW YORK—The big taxlecab owners are planning for the tazl- drivers a out in commission, a struct- er blacklist, more discipline and 2 more efficient system of spying. The Taxi Section of the Transportation Workers Industrial League, at 5 B. 19th St. has exposed this plan of the bosses in an open letter to Mau- rine Hotchner, the chairman of the Board of Taxicab Control. ‘The Board of Taxicab Control wants “peace in the industry.” The letter of the League points out that this means starvation and wage-cut- ting by the bosses, 80,000 taxi drivers are out of work. The Hack Buro and the police department are work- ing hand in hand with the spy sys- tem of the Terminal and other large fleet-owners against the taxi-drivers. The Taxi Drivers Section of the Trade Union Unity League makes the following demands, for which it urges \the workers to fight: Eight-hour day, no drivers to work singles, which means work- ing 16 hours; a minimum weekly wage to replace the commission sys- tem; abolition of the blacklist; no firing for low bookings; no segreg- ation of Negro drivers into, separ- ate garages; no discrimination a- gainst taxi-drivers on streets or in courts; the right to organize into a rank and file union; unemploy- ment insurance for every hack- man out of work, Tammany Gangsters Attack Workers for Exposing | Block-Aid NEW YORK, April 8—A meeting called by the Unemployed Council to expose the bosses’ block-aiding racket was attacked by Tammany gangsters at 16th St. and Avenue B, last night.
