The resolution declares in part: “Ours is a non-partisan, non-poli- tical body, of all race and creeds. It 4s as such a body that we extend our thanks to the International Labor Defense for its able handling of the Scottsboro case, its devoted efforts to- wards freeing the boys, its remark- able achievements, in mustering pub- lic opinion, in giving the case the widest possible publicity, making it {impossible for the lynching to be jrushed through as planned by its scab hotel. All local newspapers carry reports of the meeting Tuesday here in American Federation of Labor Hall of the Rank and File National Convention on Unemploy- ment Insurance. Worried Over Insurance Demand. Reports from the secret meetings of the A.F.L. Executive Council indi- cate great nervousness and dissention over the question of how to handle the mass sentiment apparent in A. F. L. ranks for real workers’ unem- | ployment insurance at the expense ; of the government and employers. The Rank and File Convention with | big delegations assured from many |Jarge cities will work out a program |of struggle for Unemployment In- surance and will send a delegation to present it with a demand for en- dorsement to the A.F.L. convention. If the convention refuses to give this delegation admittance and a chance to present its policy, rank and file A.F.L. members and dele- fates will picket the convention hall, and this will be given general sup- port of the rank and file because the convention is held in a scab joint. The AFL. always does this, but this is the first time the A-F.L. conven- tion delegates will have to march un- der police protection to a hall de- clared unfair by A.F.L. unions for wage cutting, to a convention whose cuts. The AF.L. executive council had an all night caucus Saturday. Its of- | ficial statement admits the member- ship of A.F.L. unions has fallen to 2,- 500,000 from the 4,078,740 which was its high point previously, in 1920, The present two and a half million is of course an exaggeration; many unions reporting per capita payments on non-existing members, the United Mine Workers being a chief offender in this respect, as always, President Green of the A-F.L. an- nounced to the press yesterday that: “.,, the council last July decided to recommend unemployment insur- ance.” ND Thee NOW RED BERLIN HITS FASCST MOVE Socialists Continue Sabotage of Fight BERLIN (By Cable), Noy. 20— Lightning demonstrations of German workers occurred simultaneously in various parts of Berlin yesterday against the plans of the bourgeoisie to form a new presidial government of “national concentration” with fascist co-operation against the masses. Many collisions occurred .with the Police. Despite police terror and numerous arrests, the demonstration continued throughout the day and evening. ‘The German Communist Party has issued a rousing appeal to the Ger- man toiling mases and to the rank and file members of the Social Dem- ocracy for a united front against fascism.

Pace also appealed to all sympathetic in- dividuals and organizations to aid the fight for immediate payment of the money due the vets by contribut- ing food, clothing and trucks for the march. The appeal declares in part: “The thousands who went to Washington on the last bonus march know* that, despite the open treach- ery of Waters, Hoke Smith and other enemies of the vets, we were able to compel Congress to remove the two- year retriction clause and to secure imms# ‘2 payment to 214,000 vet- erans of 50 per cent of the bonus.

The Daily Worker published a let- ter from the Secretary of the Build- | ing Trades Council of Cincinnati. dated Oct. 26, in which he stated that the Hotel Netherlands, where the AFL. convention is being held, is unfair to union labor because the hotel does not employ union paint- ers, steam fitters or plumbers. The hotel cuts wages below the union scale in these and other trades. HOOVER FOR NEW GOVT PAY CUT Attack on Clerks, Job- less and Vets WASHINGTON, Noy. 20.—In the |name of “economy” the Wall Street Government made publfe on Satur- day a plan for a new drive against the wages of the lower paid Federal employees and for the further cut- ting off of future public construction work. It 1s also reported that big cuts will be made in veterans’ ap- propriations. The plan envisages mass lay-offs and firing in the vari- ous Federal departments. A similar plan was put through a few months ago with the aid of the A. F. of L. leaders, At the same time the presi- dent announces that the government. intends to continue tax refunds of huge sums to the corporations as well as interest payments to the bankers. The plan, announced after an ex- traordinary session of-Hoover’s Cab- inet, calls for a reduction of $700,- 000,000 in government expenditures with the exception of the huge sums for war preparations, While the new “economy” move is put forward on the pretext, that it will make unnecessary further taxa- | tion on the masses, the leaders of the | two major parties in Congress are |pushing their plans to load a sales | tax on the masses of workers and small farmers which they were forced to withdraw last session as a result of the tremendous mass protest.

Suskin is falsely charged with the death of two persons killed at an out- door meeting at Seventh Street and Avenue A, although he was present at another meeting at- Union Square at the time, the I. L. D. points out. Many workers are ready to testify that they saw Suskin at the Union Square meeting at the time of the two killings on Avenue A, according to the statergent.

The climax came at the last meeting of | the socialist local, when the local executive committee tried to prevent the case of Walter coming before the | membership, One S. Hartsell, who is chairman | of the local executive of the Socialist | Party, tried to prevent the Walter's case coming up on the plea that the executive was taking care of it. Membership Rejects Executive. After a long discussion a vote was taken and the membership voted al- most unanimously to air the case on the floor. Walter repeated what he said in his statement repudiating Thomas, Hillquit, Maurer and the whole leadership und endorsing the Ex-Servicemen’s League, outlined the plans for the National Bonus March and called for a fighting contingent of Stamford veterans. A recruiting station has been established nere and is now busy signing up marchers. Full election returns for large areas, states or big cities are not ar- riving yet. As soon as they do, they will be published.—Editor, another whitewashing affair.

Ten of the younger members of the socialist local left, saying they intended to fight in the ranks of the workers especially aiding in the work of organizing the local unemployed struggles and helping prepare the march to Washington. This was in direct reply to Hartsell and Levinson (who supplies the money for the so- cialist local) who tried to tell the| youngsters that they would only be | shot if they tried to go to Washing- ton. These remarks were replied to by the members who said that the local executive were following Tho- mas and Hillquit whose job is to try to prevent any workers’ struggles by spreading defeatist propaganda, Some of the older members ex- pressed disgust with the Socialist Party and said they would have | nothing more to do with it. | The Communist.

The proposals of the chapel chair- men’s meeting last week, that the scale committee be dissolved and a new scale committee be elected and that the expired job contract must prevail during negotiations, as well as other points, was held off the floor by Hewson’s maneuvers, but those proposals will undoubtedly break into the special meeting to be called next Sunday. Bosses Proposed Cut. The employers in the book and job trade proposed a contract some two monthe ago that involves a wage-cut and partial destruction of priority, as well as other bad conditions. This was voted down in union meetings, | tion in which the Communist Party strike sanction was asked for, and it was voted down twice on referendum, At the meeting yesterday, Local President Hewson proposed to the 2,000 or so present that they give him authority after further secret negotiation, to put out a trick ballot which would contain two points: Are you in favor of referring this matter to arbitration? Or, do you favor ac- cepting the amended proposals of the Employing Printers’ League as set forth in the last referendum? A stormy session resulted, with henchmen and Hewson himself trying to keep opponents to this proposition off the floor. Ques- tions of information were ignored, and points of order were ignored. » Smash Hewson’s Plan. Nevertheless, one member got the floor and then the avalanche started against Hewson’s proposal. It was not even put to a vote. Instead a substitute motion was passed which instructed Hewson and the scale committee to negotiate again and re- port back to the union. ‘The meeting also passed a motion (CONTINUED ON PAGE TWO) ,
