| | Monroe, Mich., Raided 82 MEETINGS AND PARADES ALREADY ARRANGED FOR INTERNAT’L YOUTH DAY] | September 8 Marks 18th Celebration of Day of Struggle Against Im- perialist War and Youth Econo Worker Correspondence Caterpillar Plant Orders Workers to | Sell in Spare Time (By a Caterpillar Worker) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 22.— The Caterpillar Tractor plant has given its workers wage cut after wage cut, and is continually laying men off, and the rest are working only bart time. A letter sent out to all Caterpillar | employes on July 30 proposes that all workers who want to keep their jobs must go out and sell tractors. The company can’t find anyone to buy tractors, but they expect us to go out in our “spare time” and find prospects. The farmer can’t even pay taxes, much less buy tractors, Those who have tractors, can’t buy the fuel to run them, So who are we going to sell tractors to? We've got to build a strong, solid branch of the new Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union in the Ca- terpillar plant, in order to fight against further wage cuts. Workers’ Homes In (By a Worker Correspondent) MONROE, Mich.—The state police last Wednesday, August 10, aided by Doak’s department, terrorizéd Negro and white workers, raiding their homes in a hunt for. foreign born workers and Communist literature. Workers, however, are continuing to organize against starvation here. Mills in Monroe are working only two or three days a week. There are about 3,000 unemployed here. About 300 families get $1.98 per week as “relief” from the city. There is no relief for single persons. If you ask for more relief thye call the police and throw you out of the Welfare Department. Only one bank is operating in Monroe, the other two having been closed for the last 15 months. U.M.W.A. Racketeers Try to Hit_ Workers in U.S.R.R. for Money (By a Worker Correspondent) LENINSK, Kuzbas, U. S. S. R.— The John L. Lewis and John H. ‘Walker bandit gang now want money even from the workers in the Soviet Union. Nick Francks was black- listed in Illinois by that U. M. W. A. gang, and now they) send him a cir- cular asking for Soviet rubles. We know that gang too well, They do not ask help to the miners, but to sell and betray them. Our sym- pathy is on the side of the American miners, but not on the side of the fake company union, U. M. W. A. Comrades, notice who signed. this circular of the gang. You can see that puppy, Gerry Allard, is a cam- paign director in the Lewis-Walker gang openly. Of course I am not surprised. As you know, Gerry Allard at first turned Trotskyite and masked him- self with left phrases, as well as his father, August Allard, and now they are openly in the camp of coal oper- ators and their union, the U.M.W.A. . JERRY, Miner from Mlinois, U.' Unemployed Council Fights for and Gets Relief for a Worker PASSAIO, N. J., Aug. 22,—The Passaic Unemployed Council has forced the City Relief Department to grant immediate relief to an unem- ployed worker and his family who had been repeatedly turned down by the bureau on the excuse that he had not lived in Passaic long enough to get relief. A committee of unemployed work~ ers then accompanied the worker to the office of the Relief Department and insisted that he and his family be given relief without delay. After all sorts of evasive tactics, the Re- lief Department finally gave the worker $4. VOTE COMMUNIST FOR Emergency Relief for the poor farmers without restrictions by the government and banks; exemption of poor farmers from and no sorced collection of rents or debts. Amalgamated Builds Machine for Wage Cuts in Baltimore (By a Worker Correspondent) BALTIMORE, Md., Aug: 19.—The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of- ficials, under cover of “strike prej- arations” are calling the mechanics, such as cutters, pocket makers, etc., to headquarters, to build the key workers into a machine that will sup- port the official policy. The officials are promising that the manuacturers will be responsible for the wages the contractors do not pay. This failure to pay at all is getting to be quite common. Probably the A.M.C. offi- cials will try to make a bargain for wage cuts and a “guarantee” the wage cuts will be paid. In the past such guarantees were not kept. The workers have only one hope of averting wage cuts, and that is to or- ganize rank and file shop committees to lead strikes against them. On August 6 the Daily Worker car- ried an article exposing the Amalga- mated Hillman machine “strike pre- parations” here, which was an abso- lutely correct article. But the work- ers have to be on the watch, as Hill- man is continuing his maneuvers. 10-HOUR DAY ON GOVERNMENT JOB Pneumatic Mail Tube Workers Exploited (By a Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK —In recent issues of New York capitalist newspapers, readers have been told of the won- derful system of underground pneu- matic “Tubes” we have in New York City for the almost magical trans- portation of the mails to almost every corner of Manhattan, They have also been told that this won- derful system may be extended to the proposed air mail terminal at Ffloyd Bennet Field. But why is not one of them mentions the work- ing conditions? This system is operated by a priv- ate corporation under contract with the U. S. government. A 10 hour day has been maintained for a great number of years. “On June 30th last the old contract ended and new “agreements” were made and yet the 10-hour day is maintained. Working conditions on these “jobs” are bad. The men, in many cases are not to leave their posts to eat but must eat “on the job.” These men keep this system going from 3:30 a. m. to 11:30 p. m daily, except Sundays and shifts are arranged ac- cordingly Hoover Personally Directing Plans for Wage-Cutting Session WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug, 23.— President Hoover got back yesterday from his vacation, and, according to capitalist press reports, began at once planning the meeting of big business men he has summoned for next Friday. This meeting will have before it the problem of arranging Sweeping wage-cuts and joint action against workers’ resistance to these cuts, all as‘“a means to end the crisis.” * Capitalist reporters state that Hoover then reviewed the enormous loans by the Reconstruction Financ? Corporation during the last nine days of July to the bankers. He is stated as “desiring to protect the corporation’s loans against any pub- Hcity not specifically directed by the act creating it.” FARMERS’ PLIGHT (By a Worker Correspondent) CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio.—Prod- uee is so cheap that farmers here can’t hope to get the price of seed back, while thousands are hungry for Green vegetables, Farmers are not getting enough for milk to pay for the feed, not counting anything for labor. The milk inspection laws force farmers to sell to the regular companit ies. One truck farmer took 65 baskets of beans to market and came back with $2.30 for his week's labor, Tons of produce are being ploughed under because they can’t be sold, mic Demands > PREPARE UNITED _ FRONT MEETINGS IN N.Y. SECTIONS Parades in Cities in Washington; to Have 5inN.Y. NEW YORK —Eighty-two cities have already announced demonstra- tions, parades or meetings to be held on Sept. 9, the 18th International Youth Day. It is expected that the 107 meetings of last year will be sur- passed this year. International Youth Day was set aside as a day of struggle against imperialist war and for the economic jand political demands of the young |workers in 1915. During the frightful jdays of slaughter of the last imper- lialist war young workers and stu- |dents, representatives of the revolu- jtionary youth of the European coun- tries met in Berne, Switzerland to plan the fight against the World War. They raised the slogan of Lenin— to make war against the imperialist war—and established this annual day of struggle. Many of these meetings will be preceeded by United Front Confer- ences. In New York there will be five conferences preparatory to Sept. 8 parades. In Brooklyn (excluding Browns- ville) all organizations are urgea to elect two delegates each to the con- ference to be held at 31 Atlantic Ave, on August 3 at 7:30 p.m. The Browns- ville conference will be held at 1813 Pitkin Ave. In Harlem the conference will be held on Sept. 3 at Lafayette Hall, 165 W. 121st St. The Bronx Anti-War Youth Con- ference will be held on Friday, Sept. 2 at Ambassador Hall, Claremont Parkway and Third Ave. In Down- town New York arrangements have not yet been completed.

The physicians will conduct their examination simultaneously with that of the physicians of the Department of Health, Doak. is trying to establish’ that Berkman is in fit condition for de- portation. She is actually in an ad- vanced state of tuberculosis, brought on by horrible prison conditions. C Bae eb Wire Protest. NEW YORK,—Protesting against the continued terrorization of Edith Berkman, in the tuberculosis sana- torium where she is confined, Carl Hacker, acting national secretary of the International Labor Defense, to- day sent the following telegram to William N.

Today they are 270 per cent above the 1913 figure, and 8 per cent above what they were even in 1929, Modern Housing Projects While miners in the United States ere being evicted to wander jobless or live in tents, losing even the make- shift houses they have had to live in, millions of roubles have been put by the Soviet government into great modern housing projects in the So- viet mine fields, transforming entirely the physical background of the min- ers’ lives. Here the miners have never had re- serves for illness and old age, and only the most meager compensation in case of accident. Miners in the Soviet Union are protected by a com- plete system of social insurance. They all receive a mnoth’s vacation with full pay. These benefits are paid from funds which the miners them- selves control. Such contrasts are due to the fact that: in the Soviet Union the: workers’ state “has dispossessed the private mine owners, and the whole economy is planned and controlled in the in- terest? of the working class. FORD IN PONTIAC ROUSES NEGROES “Support Communists, for Equal Rights” PONTIAC. Mich., Aue. 23.—An ac- count of the oppression of Negro workers in American. told at first- hand by James W. Ford, Communist candidate for vice president, was given 300, mostly Negroes, who left church early here to hear their lead- er speak on Sunday. Ford is himself a Negro worker from Alabama, and his grandfather was lynched by a white landowner’s mob, Ford pointed out that the Commu- nist Party alone fight for “equal rights for Negroes and self deter- mination in the Black Belt,” for the Negro workers and farmers to have their own government in a new state to include all those parts of the present states where Negroes form the majority of the population. Pontiac is a c’ty ruled by Goneral Motors, whose big men are Morgan and Raskob. Raskob is a boss in the Democratic Party. And Roosevelt, democratic presidential candidate is @ pal of Morgan. The giant Pontiac plants and fac- tories are idle, unemployed are starv- ing, and a vicious terror against them rages, This is the city where the police forged documents trying to blame the Communists for the col- lapse of banks, ‘ WORKERS TO TRY STRIKE DESERTERS NEW YORK.—An open trial of a group of workers who recently de- serted a strike led by the Alteration Painters Union will be held Thurs- day night at Workers Cen- ter, 1157 Southern Boulevard.

Two other women were sentenced to five and ten years im- offenses of the same nature. A man was also sentenced to ten years im- prisonment. These sentences are in line with the “revolutionary laws” existing in the Soviet Union at the present stage of socialist construction. As Com- rade Krilenko recently explained, the Soviet Union is on the road leading to the elimination of distribution of goods by trade and the revolutionary laws which regulate this distribution will be eliminated together with the practice. At present, however, tho Soviet Union cannot dispense with the revolutionary courts which are effective weapons in the hands of the workers against the counter-reyolu- tionary efforts of the remaining cap= italist elements in the city and countryside. One of the main purposes of the revolutionary law is to fight against the workers and those who, delib- erately or unconsciously, delay so- cialist construction, to uproot the speculators and other remnants of the old regime who are still to be found in all kinds of trading organi- zations and who try to spoil the so- cialist construction by fraud, bribery | and theft. International Notes CIVIL GUARD FIRED UP SPANISH WORKERS MADRID.—One worker was seri- ously wounded and a number of oth- er workers were less seriously injured when the Civil Guard attempted to Cisperse a demonstration of striking shoe workers in Cocentaina. The Civil Guard fired on the demonstra- tors. The local municipal council resign- ed protesting against the murderous brutality of the Civil Guard. a tan) BIG SOVIET PLANE TO VISIT BERLIN MOSCOW.—The Soviet passenger plane Ant-14 which has now been in service for several davs, will un- dertake its first long flight to Berlin where it will stay several days. ‘The Ant-14 has five motors, carries forty passengers and has a speed of 220 kilometers an hour. It is equip- ped for blind flying at night or in foggy weather. The Soviet aero industry is now at work for the mass production of this type of plane to be used on the Soviet air lines which are developing at a great pace. » Planes of the Ant-14 tyne are to cover the air ine from Moscow to Viadivostock. This will be the swift- est route from Western Europe to the Far East. e- eve POST OFFICE REFUSES TO SEND PROTEST TELEGRAMS PRAGUE.--Protest telegrams from various organizations in Ozechoslo- vakia to the Hungarian government against the threat to execute the Communist Karikas were returned to Ba veeyges ules io aa aan Spdayatnleh the information that such telegrams cannot be accepted under the Posta!

The | Dies Bill aims at intimidation of the | toiling masses to insure “tranquility” | of the cannon-fodder on the approach |of war. The Jones-White Law aims |at the militarizing of merchant ma- rine, to insure imperialism of this service, Along with its other provisions re- quiring gun emplacements on mer- chant vessels, the Jones-White Law requires the “emplacement” of what | Wall Street hopes will be a “safe”| jcrew. That is, two-thirds of the crew must, under the law, be “American citizens.” The shipowners have been given a pericd to make the change required, but the crew must reach the “two- thirds American citizens” proportion by the end of 1932. Discrimination This means a legally backed dis- | |crimination against the foreign-born | workers, who may have been for years earning their living as seamen jon American ships. In the case of such as the “Dollar Line” where the crew has already been largely Chinese |hired in Chinese ports and who al- jready, because of immigration re- strictions, have never been ashore jin America, it means wholesale dis- charges. Many Are Rebels Indede, not a few of the Chinese |Seamen who are scheduled for dis- | |charge under the Jones-White Law, | | are members of the revolutionary Na- |tional Seamen’s Union of China, and | |besides the duty of protecting the | {foreign-born and the struggle against | jevery form of war preparation, the | |revolutionary Marine Workers’ Indus- | |trial Union has the responsibility laid | upon them as workers’ organizations jin an imperialist country, of making |the greatest effort to aid the toilers | |of a nation oppressed by “our” imper. | \ialists. The International Seamen's Union, which has become so jingoist that it ican” Seamen's Union, does not, of |course, as the Marine Workers-Union does, admit Chinese seamen to mem- bership.

PROVINCETOWN, R. I.—Despite the efforts of the local police to ban the motion picture, “Ten Days That hook the World,” this motion pic- ture was set for a showing last night at the local motion picture house, e National Committee to Aid I 's had shown the pice last Friday night, but the chief of police stopped the picture and anned it on the ground that somes >| thing about it violated the fire laws, S it was a “Rooshian” picture. Also the fact that the audience of 250 contributed $150 to aid the miners of East Ohio didn’t please the police chief. The whole town was aroused, and the artists, as a result, have formed permanent committee to collect funds for the miners. The artists also plan to hold an exhibition, the tproceeds of which will be sent to the Daily Worker.
