The Plenum was held in April and adopted very im- Portant resolutions and made very important decisions as to the next steps in the work of the Party. The functionaries’ meeting enthu- siastically approved of the Plenum’s decisions and decided that a special concentration in the Allis Chalmers plant should be carried out, to win members for the Party and to or- Sanize the Metal Workers’ Industrial League there.

Tammany Mayor in Lead Jimmy Walker, Tammany’s “Broad- way butterfly” mayor, was performing his usual antics in the front lines of the parade, trying to forget the graft probe of his administration, and how he will explain mysterious bank bal- ance and other shady things So anxious were the bosses to make a success of the “beer parade” that many of the biggest places forced their workers to march, The labor fakers of the A.

It was an attempt to make workers believe that the is is due to the absence of laws legalizing beer with a large alcoholic content. Such people ar silent about about th crisis affecting countries where there is no prohibition. Finally it is quite evident that the Tammany and Republican politicians don’t want to do away with the pro- hibition laws because they get a good graft out of things as they are. ‘MARINE WORKERS SCORE TERROR NEW YORK—Seamen and long- shoremen gathered at a meeting in the hall of the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union, 140 Broad St., Wed- nesday, denounced the brutal beating of workers at City Hall last April and adopted the following resolution de- manding the release of the three marine workers who were jajled in the demonstration We the marine workers of New Yor kassembled at a meeting of the Marine Workers Industrial Union protest the jailing of Jones, Farrera and Stack, the three mar- ine workers who were brutally beaten up by the police at City Hall in April when they with thous- ands of other workers of New York demonstrated to demand relief and unemployment insurance, We denounce the Hooyer and Tammany Hunger government and we will mobilize thousands of sea- men and longshoremen in the fight for unemployment insurance and for the release of our fellow workers, a |Asks for Battleships; Is Against Bonus for Veterans of War (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—In line with the bosses’ preparations for war| against the Chinese masses and} the Soviet Union, Mrs. Frederick Williams, national president of the | American Legion Auxiliary, speak- ing in the Statler Hotel at a na- tional convention May 10th, urged the building of more battleships “to end the depression.” Mrs. Wil- lams, however, is against unem- ployment insurance and is a vici- ous enemy of the soldiers’ bonus bill.

The Crown Upholstery Co. settled giving the workers on strike a wage increase, equal division of work and security of jobs. This company was forced to recognize the Furniture Workers Industrial Union. The strike against the Royal Up- holstery is on and will be continued until the bosses will be forced to grant the demands put forward by the workers, Furniture workers are urged to go down to the Royal on 149th Street and Third Avenue, Bronx, to help the strikers picket the shop every morning. BOURGEOIS NEGRO JUDGE ENDORSES N.Y. JIM CROWISM Upholds Landlord Who Barred Negroes from Elevator NEW YORK, (CNA).—Dogs get preference over Negroes in the ele- vators of a lot of ritzy and near- ritzy New. York apartments, and that’s O. K. with Judge Charles E. Toneg, bourgeois Negro of the tenth district municipal court, who has put his seal of judicial approval on the whole business. The oase Judge Toney had to decide was that of Donald Henderson, white, who had been living at 50 W. 106th Street. Henderson is secretary of the National Studens League and was prominent in the recent student strike at Columbia University. A number of Negro students and personal friends came to see Hender- son at his apartment, They were denied the use of the elevators by the landlord and forced to walk up the back way. Henderson first pro- tested and then to moved to another apartment where his friends could get to see him without being sorted out first by the landlord. The land- lord sued, claiming the lease had been broken and that he had a right to keep Negroes out of the elevator if he wished. The case came up before Judge Toney, one of the two bourgeois Ne- o judges in New York and a Tam- many man, The landlord was right, Judge Toney decided J. Meerbaum, attorney for the International Labor Defense, who defended Henderson, pointed out’ that this decision sets a precedent for all New York landlords who want to run their elevators for whites and dogs only.

The Italian workers in that neighborhood are denied any relief. On Friday morning at 10 a, m., 11 families cam edown to the Unem- ployed Council which elected a com- mittee to go with these families to the Home Relief Bureau. | Some of these families did not have | any food at all for deys. All of them | are large ones. One of the workers, Tony Verlezza of 297 E. 151 St., with nine in the family and none working, was receiving relief which was cut off. They have a disposses notice, ut the Home Relief Bureau refused | to consider this case. Another worker, George Markutiss | 988 Union Ave., with six in the family. He fought for “democracy” in the World War. He is a member of the American Legion. Nothing was done by the American Legion but they referred him to the Home Re- lief Bureau. Aid was denied him His case was rejected on the ground that he worked six months ago and sometimes workers for a day or two during the week. This worker has small children who cry for bread. Seeing how the American Legion treated him, he joined the Workers ExServicemen’s League. The Lower Bronx Unemployer Unemployed Council fill mobilize larger’ forces to demand from the Home Relief Bureau food for the | starving families. Miss Schaffer, the supervisor, tells the workers that she doesn’t need any demonstration be- cause she helps all the unemployed families since she is a friend of Nor- man Thomas, the Socialist.

W, Ld: (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) April shattered any remaining illu- sions that the iron and steel workers |may have had regarding the possi- | bility of that reformist union taking up and leading the fight of the mill- men. The convention, which sat in session for nine days while the papers of the country were full of open statements announcing the impending wage-cut, did not sa much as put forward one proposal or motion for action against the new slash in wages. The fighting program of the Metal Workers Industrial League is the sole hope of the steel workers and they are rapidly rallying to the banners of the new union that is spreading throughout the industry. The res- ponse of the thousands of workers in McKeesport to the call and leadership of our union to smash the terror and establish the right of free speech |and assemblage was an indication of | the growing confidence of the workers in our union. The increase in mem- bership from 13 members in one of the hug. mills in the Youngstown district to 113 within a few weeks after the rumors of the approaching wage-cut, is another indication. The open struggle at the gates of the Re- | Workers around the demands of our j leaflets calling for struggle against | job discrminiation which resulted in winning the demand, and a series of other events in recent weeks must be a sharp signal to our union that the workers are ready to accept our union and its program, M. W. I. L. Must Come to Front The M. W. I. L. especially in the Pittsburgh, Chicago and Youngstown districts must immediately come to the front in this new wage-cut period, must organize and lead intensive daily struggles against the wage-cut, linking up as an integral part of the campaign, the struggle for immediate relief for part-time and unemployed workers, and the struggle for more days work each week. HMass dem- onstrations must be organized at once gn the important steel centers, such as Pittsburgh, McKeesport, Steubenville, Johnstown, Baltimore, Youngstown, Gary, Indiana Harbor and South Chicago, rallying thous- ands of employed and unemployed steel workers for struggle against the wage-cut, and for immediate relief at the expense of mill owners, the .city, state and government. The National Buro of the MWIL at its last meetin gemphasized the importancee of the activity among the part-time and unemployed stee! and general metal workers in the fight against the wage-cut and the campaign for the National Conven- tion to form the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union which will be held in Pittsburgh on July 29, 30, 31. Although the slogan “Organize and Strike against the Wage Cut” must be kept in the center of all our daily actvity, necessity for our union giving immediate leadership to the struggles of the part-time and unem- ployed workers for relief, against eviction etc. is imperative. must be taken, that our mill branches and local leading committees do not make the mistake of putting the en- tire stress of the campaign solely on the wage-cue, neglecting the de- mands of the part-time and unem- ployed workers. ‘There can be no successful rallying of thousands of Care The U.S. Steel Wage! public mill of hundreds of part-time | Jobless Council Helps.

The ment of struggle for more work f the part-time workers is..also ex tremely important in our daily tivity, and must be put forth the issues of demanding “slower duction (sped-up) and a minim days working week.” In some mills, according to condl: tions, the demand for more work be developed as an issue around demand that the mills produce re: serve steel stock at a slower pace of production. The demand for “fi crews,” “extra helpers’ ‘etc must used to bring the part-time into our union and into daily strugg! in the mill departments. Strike Sentiment Grows, Our union membership in thi steel centers must be alive to fact that there is a rapidly growin; strike sentiment among thousands stecl workers. There is very littl chance of this strike sentiment crys: tallizing into action if the worker: do not see any capable leadership] right in their midst. This was proven| last week in the Youngstown Car- negie mill where the men stopped) work for a few minutes after the wage cut announcement and after! listening to a fiery speech of @ non-/ union member, stated that they| would willingly fight, “but whe will! lead us?” True, this incident was only) in one department of the mill, but; this occurrence proved that our small) branch in that mill was not known) to the workers, and it was not known) or accepted as the leaders of the) workers of that mill because # ywas| still continuing its old isola! ods of work. ‘The MWIL must come olay fae openly and determinedly in pes riod of mass resentment ay the cut and through its mass o strations, mass meetings, mill bramoh meetings, unemployed groups ings, mill leaflets, peepee th the workers and all of its a reach thousands of steel where it before reached only @ fe; Our mill branches must through! their daily activity become the lead~ ers of the workers in their sespec-| tive departments and mills, instead of hidden isolated sects.
