A general and unconditional am- nesty for all proletarian political pri- soner, This great demonstration was pro- hibited by the government, but took Place in défiance of the police.

John Pace, outstanding leader of the bonus march in Washington and Communist candidate for congress in the state of Michigan will be the chief speaker at this meeting. Before leaving New York Thurs- day for a speaking tour to rally t! war veterans for a more intensive | struggle for the bonus. Pace pointed out that -the veterans must muster all their forces to defeat the attempt of the government to cut off their disability benefits. “There is a move now,” said Pace, “to force a bill through Congress which will cut of $400,000,000 in benefits for veterans whose disabili- ties were not incurred during the war.” “This move is backed not only by the big capitalist politicians, but the leaders of the American Le- gion. The rank and file must mo- bilize all its forces against this vi- cious move to take more allowances away from the veterans.” The tour of Pace will blaze the way for the National Workers Ex- Servicemen’s League Conference to be held in Cleveland September 23, 24 and 25. Following the meeting in Pitts- burgh, Pace will speak in Youngs- town, O., Sunday, September 4, and in Cleveland, Monday, September 5. eA Rally In Chicago.

(The Daily Worker will-be glad, within the limits of its space, to print discus- | sion articles on this matter.) Questions Coming Up Rose Wortis, national recording secretary of the union, states that the convention should build an or- ganizational structure and outline policies and methods of work that/ will insure the following: | 1—To systematically build the union in the shops, The decision on this point will have to be based on the closest examination of the ex-j| Periences we had throughout the/| country in our shop work. | 2.—The realization of real working | class democtacy in the activi! and the conduct of the union. This Problem can be solved only by es- The plenum of the General Execu- tive Board in 19381 remedied this, gain, to some extent, by establishing de dwartments, with shop del- egaté councils,in each. Not Perfect Yet This was a real improvement, says Worti: But still, there are weak- nesses. The problems come up from below, to the departmental shop del- egates councils, but they do not go back to all the shops for complete discussion, so that the delegates can represent the considered opinion af those who elect them. The block committees are still too much agitational bodies instead of active organizing centers, There are many meetings, but not the small, intimate business like meetings that takes up the daily problems of the wotkers in eéach trade, and solve them, and in whieh every rank and file worker fully | participates All this can be remedied at the convention, if it is discussed and methods worked out by the workers now, and their convention delegates properly instructed.
