Henderson like the leaders of the American Federation of Labor and the Socialist Parties of Europe and the United States, are faithfully helping the imperialists in their frantic drive toward war as a capi- talist “way out” of the crisis, and especially war against the Soviet Union where the workers rule and there is no crisis but an increasingly rapid improvement of the material and cultural conditions of the toiling masses.

MASS PICKETING IN REX STRIKE Refuse to Disperse; Do} It Again Tonight NEW YORK,—The strike of the | 200 metal workers of the Rex Pro-/| ducts Corp. entered its third week yesterday (Wednesday) with the most militant mass picket demon- stration held since it began. Despite the repeated attempts of the cops to disperse them by force the long line of pickets continued to march back and forth in front of the shop, two abreast, enthusiastically shouting | their demands and singing picket- songs. The boss has succeeded in getting a@ small handful of scabs into the shop, but these are unable to put out any work. The strike is as solid as ever, with the key departments in the shop crippled. At the strike meeting yesterday morning steps were taken to -reor- ganize the strike committee and broaden it out. Separate meetings of all depart- ments were held which elected de- partment committees so as to better be able to check up on the activity of all strikers. All workers are called to the mass picket demonstration to be held this gvening in front of the shop this (Thursday) evening, 5:15 p.m. The address of the shop is 87 University Place, cor, 11th St. Republican Ward Boss Brings Some Pressure NEW YORK.—An example of pres- sure on voters is seen in the send- ing of personal, hand written post cards to certain of them by the Re- publican patty captain. They are ordered to come, bringing the card, to the polls in the primary just pas- sed here, and present themselves to the captain. No threats are made in the card, but the worker knows what will happen if he doesn’t come.

The picture tells | the story of the Russian author Dos- toievski, / It was during the rule of Nicholas |I that the first signs of opposition to the old serfdom appeared. The middle class was rising and with this the beginnings of a workers move- ment. These conflicting fotces clash- ed and the Czar used exile, flogging, imprisonment, censorship and every other means to suppress the revolu- tionary circles which carried on the Propaganda for the new order, One of the most important circles of this period was the Pettashevsky group, named after its leader. ‘The members of this organization were young teachers, army officers, writers without a definite program, but they all offered their individual remetlies of mysticism, religion and utopian communism. Dostoievski was a mem- ber of this group and for associating | with them he was exiled to Siberia. The film, “House of Death,” traces the activities of this group and shows | the youhg, flery Dostoievski capitul- ating to the auioeracy as a result of a séntence to hart labor in Si- ALL OFF R. R. PAY CUT SESSION Will Now Use Watson Parker Law WASHINGTON, D, C., Sept. 21, — The original railroad wage cut plan goes through The cut will be made by the machinery, provided by the government, it will follow the course Jaid down in the Watson-Parker law, with the companies demanding 29 per cent reductions The ¢ sal made last week for the Railroad Brotherhood heads to meet on the wage cut with the Coni- mittee of Nine representing all the railroads, was either a sham, to give the Brotherhood chiefs a chance to pretend militant rejection of the cut, or it was countermanded at the last minute by Brotherhood officials fear- | ful of revolt among the rank and | file, ti | Whitney’s Letter. Today A, F, Whitney, Chairman of | the Brotherhoods’ negotiations com- mittee wrote to W, P, Thiehoff, head of the company’s committee “We are unanimously of the opin- ion that a wage conference at this} time would be unwise, and that, hav- | ing no authority to enter upon such a conference, we should not either seek such authority or encourage any effort to inaugurate wage negoti- | ations, ‘ou know that the railway em- | ployes have suffered not only a 40} per cent loss of employment”, Whit- | ney told Thiehoff, “but that a major- ity of those working have had only part time employment with a 10 per cent deduction from compensation, “You know that our conditions have grown steadily worse since the agreement of January 31, 1932. No one would truly represent the em- ployes by encouraging any effort to do anything except to improve pres- | ent conditions,” Form Committees! The Trade Union Unity League long ago urged the Railroad Workers to prepare to resist the wage cut, by electing rank and file committees of action in all lodges of the Brother- hoods, and by starting agitation and introducing resolutions in the lodge meetings to reject any cut, LO PRESTI SHOE STRIKE IS WON 75 Workers Led By Militant Union NEW YORK.—The strike at Lo Presti Shoe Co. conducted by the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union was settled yesterday with a victory for the strikers. This firm} employs over 75 workers. Two weeks ago the bosses tried to break thet or- ganization in the shop by refusing to deal with the shop committee. The whole crew went out on strike. The boss could not break the lines of the crew with his threats that he is clos- ing up the shop. The firm was compelled to call the committee for @ settlement. The set- tlement is on the basis of , 1. Shop Committee récognition. 2. Hiting of new help through tHe Committee, 3. No discrimination. 4. Equal dvision of work.

Member of Communist Party, Mills declared that he is a mem- ber of the Communist Party but frustrated the efforts of the Immi- gration officials to label tlie National Hunger March as a purely Commu- nist demonstration, Mills stated that while the Communists fully supported the National Hunger March, its leader was the National Committee of the Unemployed Councils, repre- senting workers of evéry political opinion, The hearing established beyond even the shadow of a doubt that the deportation of Mills, as well as the deportation of Berkman and other militant workers, is being sought as a means of weakening the struggle of the employed and unemployed workers against the hunger offensive of the bosses. The workers must therefore inten- sify the: struggle in defense of Mills, Berkman and others, floading “Sec- Tetaty of Deportations” Doak with telegrams of protest, Ryan Has Already, Given Big Reduction NEW YORK.—Ryan, the Interna- tional Longshoremen’s Association president stated yesterday to the committee of the shippers that the offer of 75 cents per hour and $1 an hour overtime was rejected, Ry- an himself had proposed the 75 cent straight time scale, a wage cut of ten cents an hour from the present wage, He also proposed a rate of $1.10 an hour for overtime, a wage cut of ten cents an hour. Such opposition has been aroused | among the longshoremen that Ryan | hesitates to.go through with the thing entirely on the shippers’ terms, He does not cut off negotiations, how- ever, but; promises another meeting Friday, While this haggling over ten cents on the overtime is going on, the Marine Workers Industrial Union has urged the longshoremen to prepare to strike, under leadership of their own elected committees, against we cuts in overtime or in straight ime, Call Needle Workers, Furriers to Take Part in Press Bazaar Work Needle trades workers,’ particularly fur, workers, are called upon to give active participation to the campaign to make the Sixth Annual Press Ba- waar at Madison Square Garden a success, according to a statement is- sued by the Natignal Press Bazaar Committee, 50 BE. 13th St., yesterday. “Only two weeks are left for pre- paration,” reads the call. “Work! must therefore be itensified imme- diately.” The committee also stated that greetings from individuals and or- ganizations must come in immediate- ly to assure the publication of the souvenir program.

Pickets report daily at 1130 Southern Blvd., at 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. CALL 2,000,000 TO FARM STRIKE Picket Despite Order Against It by Ass’n DES MOINES, Ia., Sept. 21.—Today is the official date for the beginning of the farmers’ strike in 11 middle tion of 2,000,000, The strike is de- clared by the Farmers Holiday As- sociation, along with “advice” against picketing. Farmers in Nobles and Clearwater County, Minn., are already on strike, and are picketing in defiance of Farmers Holiday leaders’ orders to the contrary. Mass meetings in North Dakota ssem to have rallied the farmers of 30 counties for the strike. In Cambridge, Minn., some 4,000 farmers gathered Saturday, Sept. 10, from Chisago, Kenebec and Isanti and voted to strike, practically unan- imously, only two voted against it. Farmers at this meeting told of selling a 500 pound steer for $6. One said he shipped a cow to market and got back only nine cents. Form District Class On Negro Problems The immediate necessity of clari- fying the Party membership on the Negro quéstion is today one of the most it tasks facing the Par- ty in the New York district. Recent | reports show that there is a great lack of understanding of the Negrg question as that of a national min- ority, As a step toward overcoming this situation, the district has organized a central district class on Negro porb- lems for members of Se¢tion Buros and Committees and leading actives in Negro work, The class will start on Saturday, September 24th at 3:30 p, m. at the Workers School, 35 Hast 12th St,, 3rd floor, Comrade Jim Al- len, author of “Thé Américan Negro” will be the teacher, Sections which have not sent in their application blanks must do so at once, Only those students whose applications are in the hands of the district will be admitted to the class, AMTER TO TALK ON TAMPA TERROR Thursday Meet Also to Hear McBride NEW YORK.—The United Front Tampa Committee announces that Israel Amter, candidate for Governor on the Communist Party election ticket, will speak at an open air meeting Thursday evening at 106th St. and 2nd Ave. Amter will deal with the Tampa case and its signi- ficance for the workers of Lower Harlem. The Committee also announces that Al W. McBride, just returned from Tampa, where he spent seven months in jail because of his activity if organizing the Tampa workers and farmers, will also speak. ~This meeting is one of the several being held in preparation for the mass demonstration to be held throughout the streets of Lower Har- lem on October 1 in protest against the terror in Tampa, and against the Federal injunction outlawing the members of the Tobacco Workers’ In- dustrial Union, and for the release of the 14 class war prisoners to Tampa. MOVE TO OUTLAW Unemployed Council Calls for Struggle NEW YORK. — The Unemployed Council of Greater New York, 10 E, 17th” Street, yesterday vigorously con- demned the attempt of the Bronx Landlords’ Association to have the City pass a law making the organi- zation of a rent strike a crime, and called for united action on the part of the workers to fight the proposed bill. The statement issued by the Un- employed Council said, in part: “The Bronx Landlords’ Association has lJaunched a campaign to have the New York City government pass a jaw making the organization or agi- tation for a rent strike a crime. “The answer of the workers to this attack on our right to organize must be more organization. In every house and block let us build the Unemploy- ed Committees. Under the leadership of the Unemployed Councils we must unitedly resist every eviction. The mass rent strike, spread over whole sections of the city, must be our an- swer to the landlords who charge robber rents and to the city and its courts which evict those who cannot pay. Not through appeals to the ‘bosses’ courts such as are being in- dulged in now by the Socialist Pars ty misleaders of the Tenants’ League in the Bronx, but militant united struggle of the workers will the fight for lower rents be won.” ATIEYTION COMRADES!
