DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDA Y, DECEMBER 27, 1938 International Notes By ROBERT HAMILTON GERMANY’S HILLMAN O.N SCHLEICHER ‘Theodor Leipart is a member of the Central Committee of the German Socialist Party and President of the German Federation of Labor. was interviewed recently by Berlin correspondent of the Paris chauvinist newspaper “Excelsior” on the trade unions’ attitude to General von Schleicher, the new Chancellor. QUES: “What will be the atti- tude of the German Federation of Labor to the new cabinet?” ANS: “As far as his political past is concerned, we have nothing to reproach the Chancellor for.” (Schleicher is the officer respons- ible for the killing of hurderds of revolutionaries in the 1918-1919 Spartacns battles in Berlin!). “The social problem is in the forefront of his endeavors and it is his aim to bring about a relexation of ten- sion in trade union circles to enable the rovernment to carry on its po- litical activity without the workers’ resistance.” Replying to an inauiry regarding yon Schleicher’s military control, Leipart said: ‘i “J assure you that General Schlei- cher is not the man youthink he | is. Y know that he has made | smeeches that have disturbed French public opinion. ae. But in de- | manding military equality he has | ‘only exvressed what every German | thinks.” | The French journalist added: “The | warmth with which Leipart speaks | makes me feel that he has very close | connection with Schleicher, and even | admires him greatly.” | Need we add anything to this capitalist paner’s picture of the German William Green, Hillman and Dubinsky rolled into one. 2,000 BUILDING WORKERS | JO IN RED UNION Two thousand members of the) Building Trades Union in Berlin have been expelled from their union because of their protests against the | betrayal and sabotage of the union officials, At a mass meeting they unanimously voted to join the re- yolutionary Unity Union of Building Trades Workers. ‘The organized workers of Germany are being forced by mass unemploy- ment and misery to rebel against the inactivity and treason of their well- paid union officials, and are joining united to the Red Front. NAZI-SOCIALIST UNITED FRONT The first intimations of the huge nationalist coalition in Germany reaching from the Hitlerites to the Socialists for the support of von Schleicher were seen in the first session of the new Reichstag. A confidence vote against the Cabinet Communist motion to place a ne- on the ordcr of business was voted down solidly by all the other parties in the Reichstag, from the Social- ists Wels and Mueller to the Nazis Goebbels and Frick. MORE STRIKES IN SPAIN SEVILLE, Spain—Spanish capital- ism, menaced on all sides by general | strikes of hundreds of thousands of | railroads, shipping, mining, office and ‘ther workers, is giving indications of cracking under the strain. The first great victory of work- ers came in this city when & 10,000 employees of mercantile es- tal its who had announced a general strike in protest gainst re- duced wages and intolerable working conditions were able to wrest from the bosses now contracts at higher salaries and with reduced hours of labor. The strike was called off after eight hours of negotiations between «mployers and workers delegates’ in ‘the offices of the governor of the ce. While the negotiations re in progress a militant demon- stration of 3,000 union members took place in the street before the palace f the governor. oe 6 SANTANDER.—A__ sympathetic walkout in support of the striking dock workers was declared recently by all construction workers. Many clashes have occurred between the militant strikers and the scabs brought in under military protec- tion. The Civil Guard has placed machine guns at stratigic points throughout the city. a Ne VALENCIA.—The strike of metal workers in this city has been joined by all electrical, garage and machine shop workers. Commercial printers also have gone on strike in protest against a wage-cut agreement put oer on them by Largo Caballero, «socialist Minister of Labor. Printers on various newspapers have voted to walk out on a sympathetic strike. ae Se !

Around 3000 workers and sympa- thizers jammed the Labor Temple to witness the cross examination of Cal- licotte by Attorneys Beardsley and Packard. As on previous occasions, Callicotte’s story remains unshaken, although at this mass meeting Calli- cotte gave his second public testi- mony, and kept his story unchanged in the face of a number of other grillings by the San Francisco police officials as well as representatives of the I. L. D. and other organizations. The militancy of the audience pre- vented customary interference by the Los Angeles “Red Squad”. After hearing the speeches of Sam Good- win, Irving Goodman, Charles O'Brien, Lawrence Ross, Robert Whitaker and Dan Regan, the meet- ing made a stormy demonstration in support of the resolution demanding an immediate new trial for Tom Mooney. VETERANS CARRY ON BONUS FIGHT Organizing Squad in Intensive Drive (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) A member of the squad is Harry Smith, who was in the American Ex- peditionary Force to Siberia under General Graves. His experiences there convinced him beyond argu- ment that it was Wall Street’s war, not his war. Smith was the com- mander of the delegation of 23 on its way to Washington. Another member is E. V. Nicholson, one of the first members of the Dis- abled American Veterans’ organiza- tion, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and with his brother, Johnny Nicholson, also a member of the organization crew, a relative of one admiral and two generals in the American Army. Other members of the crew are: Charles Kirkman, Michael Kashula, Raymond Carriol, A. Anderson, Iry- ing Dobbins and Oliver Armstrong. Colorful Trip. On their trip to Washington the delegation of 23, and on its trip from Washington to New York the organizing squad of nine, had many adventures. They brushed past hos- tility of railroad and city police and mayors. They rode freights, and trucks which were once practically commandeered by the veterans. They collected expenses on the way, part- ly by selling Bonus March stamps and W.ES.L, literature. They found an army air port in Illinois where the sergeants and corporals and en- listed men were so sympathetic that they let the officer of the day sleep and collected a cash donation. They found train crews that would put on an extra car for them, and ra{lroad police who told them frankly that orders had come down from above to let no bonus marchers ride ‘the freights. House from Negro Churchman, ‘They found garage men who re- fused gasoline until they heard there were members of the W.E.S.L. among them, and then either donated or reduced the price to a ridiculously low level. They found a Negro church in Washington that had a veteran, on its board of trustees, who turned over church property for them to lodge in for days. They found stool pigeons and dis- rupters, and dealt with them. They found farmers who donated food, and gave them barns to sleep in, and they also slept in brick kilns and abandoned mines. Through it all they hung to- gether, kept up their morale, and carried out their task: They go on now to other tasks. 8 @ EDITOR'S NOTE: We hope to print soon the story of this dele- gation’s interesting and_ historic drive from Kansas City to Wash- ington, D. ©, Mrs, Mary Mooney, mother of | | Red Cross “Relief” Rackets Exposed by Jobless GOV'T FLOUR IS PEONAGE SCHEME Penna. Worker Shows How It Is Used FARRELL, Pa,—Red Cross flour is being given to the workers, only in exchange for two hours work on city job for each sack. And on each sack reads “Not to be sold, by Act of Con- gress.” Widows also have to slave for this flour. There is a gang of stools going around to the workers’ houses, whom the bosses call charity investigators. If they find more than 50 pounds for which the worker has already worked, they report the worker to the bosses, and he is arrested and charged with hoarding flour, and has to serve in jail. The charity agents call the the workers charity racketeers. The workers could not sell the stuff if they would try. On the county jobs there are more than a thousand men employed. Some chop. wood, some clean up grave- yards, some build parks, etc., for re- lief. On most of these jobs they have a slop kitchen, where the worker car- ries his own bread, and at noon he is given a tin cup of the lousy slop. The workers are allowed one ton of coal every 3 months and $15 worth of groceries a month at the most, ‘even if there are 15 in the family, and for this they put in 15 to 25 days a month. The groceries are given in store orders and only certain articles are allowed to be taken. A comrade went to Mayor Joseph A.

Chicago Children Win Free Milk by Militant Action CHICAGO.—I am a member of the milk committee, so I am going to write an article about how we got milk for the Workers’ Childrens Art School. ‘ eo The committee elected at the first class failed to get milk, so at the sec- ond class a hew committee was elect- ed. When we were about to go to Bowman Dairy, the largest and the nearest to us, someone suggested go- ing to Alderman Jackson, who had been visited by a Free Food Fighters Committee a week before in connec- tion with Thanksgiving. . We went to his luxuriously farnish- ed first floor flat on South Park and asked him to come with us to a dairy. Although the committee was small, he remembered the larger committee that had come; two kids that came to see the alderman & week ago were with us now. He de- cided that he would go to the dairies himself. Now we are getting four gallons of milk for every class, which is enough for a cup or two apiece. A member of the milk committee. James Mishkis. Stores Get Rake-Off in Baltimore “Relief” Racket on Workers BALTIMORE, Md.—The City of Baltimore has a new racket to ex- tract money from the workers for the welfare. They have what they call 50-50 emergency certificates which they are selling here from Dec. 20 to 24. This is to relieve the Honorable Mayor Jackson from the duty to the unemployed. They sell these certificates to the workers for one dollar each. They can buy 50 cents worth of merchan- dise for that dollar, and the other fifty cents goes to the welfare. They even try to sell them on the waterfront to the seamen, but let these same seamen try to get relief when they need it. They tell us they can’t give us anything because we are wards of the government, and the city can’t do anything but give a flop and coffee-and’ for a few hours work. But the seamen are uniting in the Unemployed Council and the Workers Industrial Union to better relief. it for —J. J.C. Red Cross Clothes Get to Few Workers EVANSVILLE, Ind.—This town has a population of 100,000, with a large proportion of Negroes. Practically every other shop in town is closed down, The majority of workers here are slowly starving. Those who are on the county relief receive a grocery order ranging from $1 to $3 per week. Three dollars is the most anyone gets if they have a family of ten it makes 885 | no difference. They also get 25 bush- els of cheap nut coal that has to last for a month. The Red Cross is claiming that they are furnishing clothing, but so far few have reecived any, and far from sufficient at that. Hundreds of children are unable to attend school because they lack food and clothing. We have families living in old sheds and factory buildings that are not fit for stables, and old buildings where several families are forcéd to live together, in fact every known | 78 misery is being forced upon the work- ers here. ‘The workers, both employed and unemployed, must rally together and fight in the Unemployed Council for more relief and better living condi- tions. —A Worker, WORKER CORRESPONDENCE Page Lead Subway Project i Woman Starves, Sleeps in Doorways, “Steals” Milk to Live On NEW YORK, N.
