Supports Scottsboro Fight Denounces Lynch Ver- dicts Against 7 Boys NEW YORK.—The Workers Inter- national Relief yesterday issued a resclution calling upon every mem- ber, branch and district of the WIR to support the Oxnimunist Party, the League of Struggle for Negro Fights and the ternational Labor Deferise which are rallying the work- ers in the grim fight against the le- |@ai lynching of the innocent Scotts. boro boys. Pointing out that the Scottsboro frame-up is part and parcel of the whole terror and lynch campaign of the Southern ruling class and is in- tended to stem the growing unity of white and Negro workers for struggle against the bosses, the WIR resolu- tion declares “it is the same hunger and starvation-terror that| is now |forced on the Kentucky-Tennessee miners, both Negro and white. The |fierce murderous terror directed | against the white and Negro miners.” The resolution further states that “only a rise in the mighty protest of the toilers of this country and the | world will wrench the Scottsboro boys | {ree from the lynchers and save them from death .. . therefore the masses, crganized and unorganized, must be mobilized for struggle against this latest lynch verdict and demand the boro boys.” Borich, Out on Bail, | Will Address Pitts. ||Meeting Wednesday PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 11. — Frank Borich, general secretary | | of the National Miners Union, who sash bond of $5,000, will speak to | |;wo mass meetings here on Wed- resday evening.

BATTLE COPS IN EVICTION FIGHT NEW YORK.The filthy work of “New York’s Finest” was again dem- onstrated at the scene of, an eviction taking place at 1357 Southern Blvd. As the furniture of the evicted family was being dumped out on the street, the landlord called several po- licemen to regulate the angry crowd of workers and their families that had gathered there. The Unemployed Council of 1325 Southern Blvd. rallied a throng of workers that had gathered. The cops did everything in the way of terror- izing to break up the group and the meeting that was being held, and one fat, overfed member of the force was vicious in his attitude towards all workers present. The crowd would not be silenced and instea* of being dispersed, grew in number to such an extent that ihe police were forced to call out more numbers, The police attacked the workers and seriously injured Freda Jackson, ® member of the council, The workers in the houses are | aroused over this action of the cops and are discussing organization to spread the struggle against evictions. | Unemployed Councils Mobilize to Fight Stopping of Relief (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) | Stop.

The chief point on the agenda will be the plans for struggle against the racketeer work card system which was introduced into New York shops by Matthew Woll and Kaufman, who have been aiding the bosses to estab- lish open shop conditions under the Suise of closed shop settlements, All fur workers, regardless of the union affiliations and political opin- ions are urged to attend this im- portant meeting and discuss their grievances and proposals, Defend the Soviet Uniow against the attack of the bossest a riet CIRCUS IN FULL SWING AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN Ringling Bros, and Barnum and Bailey Circus, is now in full swing at the Madison Square Garden--the world’s largest traveling zoo, the towering giraffes, the rhinocerii, the jungle beasts, the hippo and the con- ress of “strange and curious” people. “Greater than ever,” of course, the circus offers many new features this Spring—Clyde Beatty, wild animal trainer, alone with forty refocious jungle-bred lions and tigers in one steel arena, the “Man from India,” @ new importation in which all pre- vious high-wire thrills have been eclipsed; Alfredo Codona, famed triple mid-air somersaulter of the Flying Codonas; La Belle Zacchini, wife of the original “human pro- Jectile” who is fired across the Gar- den from the mouth of a mamme&h cannon; Luicita Leers, Euror/s cel- ebrated aerial star; the Pieffenachs, Davenports and Guices stellar bare- back troupes; Al Powell, flying tra- peze contortion star; the Concéllos, Harolds, Rubios, one hundred famous clouns and 800 other big top artists.

New Wage-Cuts Hitting Workers in Metal Shops Metal Workers League Prepares Struggles During the past week the attack of the bosses against the wages of the metal workers in New York Dis- trict has taken a new and most vi- cious turn. This new campaign of Wage cuts is hitting all workers in practically every section of the in- dustry, from machine shops and wire mills to light-metal novelty plants. The Metal Workers Industrial League is on the job issuing leaflets and forming contacts with the workers in some of the shops. The Anaconda Wire Company in Hastings-on-Hudson reduced the pay of the entire crew by ten per cent. The announcement of the company stated that the cut would amount to “approximately ten per cent.” The workers realize that by “approximate- ly” is meant ten per cent, or more, With emphasis on the MORE , The cut went into effect on the 4th. The committee of the MWIL inside the shop at once went into action, issued a leaflet which was eagerly received by the workers, and proceeded to build an organization and make the necessary preparations to put up a fight for the withdrawal of the wage cut. Seeing the mili- tant response of the workers, the bosses piled up stock and rushed through the most important orders, fearing that a walkout against the cut would cripple production and make it impossible to fill these orders on schedule. Then a great many workers, especially in the rod-mill got a “vacation” from April 8 to 4. The Anaconda Wire Co. is a sub- sidiary of the Anaconda Copper Min- ing Co. which owns oré mines in Minnesota and Wisconsin as, do the American Brass Corp. and many oth- er copper, brass and wire mills in over @ dozen cities in as many states. The Premier Metal Etching Oo. of Long Island put into effect a wage cut of ten per cent last Thursday: without previous notice. Upon dis- covering this, a group of the work- ers came down to the Metal Work- ers Industrial League, where a meet- ing was held with them and plans Mapped out for organizing the other workers to strike for the withdrawal of the cut. Judging by the ‘mili- tancy of these workers, We can ex- pect a struggle in this shop in the very near future, with great possibil- ities of success. Another metal shop in Longz Island —the Metropolitan Electrical Co., also cut the wages of its crew, num- bering about 125, by. ten per cent. Here the Metal Workers. Industrial League is securing many contacts with whom meetings are being ar- ranged in preparation for struggle. Workers in this shop are paid as low as $8 to $12 a week. A out of ten per cent also went into effect on Monday, April 11, in the Mount Vernon Die Casting Co., Mt V.ernon, N.Y. Many of the work- ers in this plant were making be- tween 30¢ and 40c an hour. The company is also discontinuing the time and one-half for overtime. ‘These are not isolated examples of wage reductions in individual shops, but are an indication of what is hap- pening throughout the metal indus- try at the present time—signalizing @ renewed campaign to drive the wages of the metal workers, which in recent months have been cut al- most in half, still lower. The workers. in the industry are ready for organ- ization to resist this attack on their living conditions ,and are looking to the Metal Workers Industrial League as the only organization that can give them effective leadership in the struggle to improve their sconditions. This is proved by the enthusiastic response to the program and agita- tion of the MWIL in the shops en- numerated above and elsewhere. The few remaining organizations of the A. F. of L. in the metal trades, such as the International Association of Machinists and the Molders Un- ion, because of their class-collabora- tion non-strike policy, have discred- ited themselves before the workers. The I..A. of M. is pretending to car- ty on an “organization drive” among the machinists. That the object of the so-caalled drive was not to or- ganize these underpaid skilled work- ers was brazenly brought out in a throwaway issued by this outfit and distributed in front of many large shops, wherein it was stated that the workers should organize so as to be ready when prosperity returns to de- mand higher pay. This was further elaborated upon by one of the chief burocrats of the I. A, of M., by the name of Peabody, who openly stated at a meeting of one of the locals of that organization, that he staunch- ly opposed strikes against wage cuts. Because of this, and also because these fakers charge $20 for initia- tion fee, they have completely lost the confidence of the workers. In the face of the developing struggles in the metal industry, the M.W.LL. is rapidly extending its ac- tivities in the shops, as @ part of its present recruiting drive to increase its membership by 200 per cent, to build up 12 new shop groups by the end #2 ‘May, in order to build an or- @enization that will lead and win the struggles of the metal workers against wage cuts and for improved condi- tions. torial Africa are being presented this season by popular demand.

TOILING MASSES ARE STARVING IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA Feverish Production of Munitions Doesn’t Alleviate Misery The attempts of the imperialists to mobilize the masses of workers for war under the slogan that war means the return of prosperity re- ceived a smashing refutation in the revalation that millions of Czech workers and peasants are starving to death, Czechoslovakia, the center of the imperialist war producing industry on the western border of the Soviet Union, is feverishly engaged in turning out millions of dollars worth of war materials. The Skoda munition works con- trolled by the Schneider-Greuzot in- terests is located in Czechoslovakia. It produces from 500,000 to 600,000 artillery shells per month. In the section of the auto industry devoted to the production of cars for mili- tary purposes more than 10,000 cars and 300 airplane motors are pro- duced yearly. The Skoda works alone have been given orders by the imperialist robber countries border- ing on the Soviet Union and by France to an amount well over a million francs up to 1932. Despite the frantic turning of the wheels of the war industries of Czechoslovakia the masses of Ozech workers are starving to death. This was revealed by the Czech deputy Ivan Kitrtjak: This deputy revealed that tens*of thousands of children are literally starving to death. Corroborating recent dispatches of English and German journalists who toured Ruthenia, Herr Kurtjak said: “They did not describe a hun- dredth part of the want and mis- ery there In the mountain districts there are many villages where all the foo! the children have to eat is a little bread in water and a few unripe or decaying potatoes, The pigs on the big estates actu- ally are better fed than these poor mites. “There are whole districts where the people have not seen a piece of bread since Autumn. As a result of malnutrition tuberculosis is terribly prevalent. The prices of animals, which constitute the only property of these peoples, are ridiculously low. A cow costs three dollars. I saw a horse sold for 20 cents. Be- cause the people cannot earn any- thing they are obliged to sell their cattle for laughable prices to pay taxes. In most of the villages not a single ight burns at night. The trains travel without passengers ‘through a country as sad and life- less as a cemetary. “Naturally agrarian communism has begun to raise its head. In Kolovne, Dolhaja, Hust and other neighborhoods there already have been tumultuous demonstrations.” Commenting further the same dis- patch conffitinues: é “Many of* the houses are low, dark and dirty huts, with fires in the middle of the floors and holes in the middle of tr> floors and holes in the roofs for the smoke to escape, with huge goats’ milk cheeses hung ou tof reach of the cattle, which sometimes, for want of other stabling, found shelter in the same quarters from the Winter cold. More than 70 per cent of the inhabitants were illiterate and lacked either clocks or calendars. As a result of undernourishment they were old men and women at 35 years of axe and the death rate was high.” , Set quotas, start revolution- ary competition, in fight to save Daily Worker.
