The strike at Weiss- man Sass which began with one de- partment of 30 lasters, came to an nd last Frida; Originally these ers were ordered out on strike by ie of Shoe so-called Federation Workers, a Fascist cli ing among the I workers stirring up national prejudice in order to isolate them from militant struggles. None of the other departments of the shop was consulted as to the advis- ability of the e or as to demands. The manoever of this clique in calling the strike was to not gain conditions for the workers but to isolate the rest of the crew, especially the fitting department, which is fol- lowing the leadership of the Shoe and Leather Wo Industrial Union, from a genuine struggle for real de- mands The fitters, however, came out on strike, and by the application of the policy of the Shoe and Leather Work- ers Industrial Union, formed a united front h the strikers, elected a joint committee and adopted joint demands over the heads of the fas- cist misleaders. This commit- tee presented the demands to the firm. The firm, sensing the unity of the crew, was compelled to yield to the recognition of the Shop Com- mittee and to the readjustment of prices in the fitting department. Refuse to Leave Union The fascist clique, seeing that the workers had outmaneovered them, insisted that the fiters leave the In- dustrial Union and join the Federa- tion, but the crew as a whole re-/} jected that. Instead, a resolution was acopted, that the Federation gives a statement in the press point- ing out the significant role played by | the about Strike. The fascist clique was led by one Garafallo. who fought vigorously against picketing, and at one point in the strike, actually issued com- mands for the pickets to be with- drawn. Industrial a speedy Union in bringing settlement At the Diana Shoe Company, now | on’strike under the leadership of the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union, the same fascist clique sends their own “friends” to scab and de- €lares in the Italian press that there is no strike there. The Diana strikers went to the strike headquarters of Weissman Sass to expose these fakers before the strikers. Rliot Cohen, Not Louise Thompson, Is Defense » Group Sec’y NEW YORK.—In Saturday's Daily Worker an error was made in an- nouncing Louise Thompson as sec- retary of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners. This mistake occured in the story on the meeting last night at the Bronx Studio, 227 Lenox Ave., which she addressed. Elliott Cohen is secretary of the National Committee, and Louise Thompson is assistant secretary, in charge of the Harlem Scottsboro Unity Committee. She was secretary of the group of 22 Negroes who went to the Soviet Union last year, upon invitation by Meschrabpom-Fifin, to make the film, “Black and White.” At the meeting, she told the facts about the post- ponement of the filming of this pic- ture—facts which were misrepresented by two or three members of the group in lying dispatches to the Negro bour- geois press and capitalist press agencies in this country.

The immediate objective of the drive into Jehol Province is to add that province to the Manchurian grab of Japanese imperialism, and to facilitate the Japanese plans for an early attack on the Mon- golian People’s Republic and the | Soviet Union, The Japanese move is being aided by the British imperialists. Ad- miral Sir Howard Kelly, of the British fleet, instructed the com- mander of the British warship | “Folkstone” at Chingwangtao to arrange an armistice between Chi- nese forces in the Peiping-Tientsin area and the Japanese. The Nan- king authorities have agreed to the truce, which is aimed at localizing the struggle at Shanhaikwan to permit the Japanese to carry out their plans for seizing Jehol Prov- ince and strengthening their mili- tary base on the borders of the Mongolian Peoples’ Republic and the Soviet Union. The U. S. im- perialists, who control Marshal Chang Hsia-liang, Nanking com- mander in North China, are secret- ly supporting the plan, which is in line with the Wall Street policy of diverting Japan toward the Soviet borders. The concentration of the entire U. S. battle fleet in the Pacific Ocean is one of the “methods of persuasion” being used by the U.S. bosses on their Japanese rivals. Nanking Sabotage Shanghai dispatches report htat “despite public clamor for armed action 2gainst Japan, indications to- day, after a series of conferences among Chinese military and civilian leaders, were that the National Gov- ernment at Nanking would adopt a policy of avoiding any steps aggra- | vating to the Japanese.” Nanking continues to maintain diplomatic re- lations with the imperialist Japanese government. +.

DEBATE YORK.—Albert Rambao, | ¥ WORKER, N ow YORK, Mi lection Inspectors Gave Fake Addresses to Cover Their Trail y YOR! As the facts about frauds in the t November election come to light through the investiga- tion brought by quarrels between cap- italist politiciar crookedness by both Democrats and Republicans are being exposed. The latest method found is the habit of ; both Democrat and Republican elec- tion inspectors of giving fake names and addresses so as to cover the trails of their crooked work. At least 10 election inspectors have | mysteriously dropped out of sight and cant be traced because they gave | fake names and addresses, it was dis- | closed Saturday by the United States | Attorney's office. Faced with the enormous number of votes stolen, Gov. Lehman said he had no comment to make when investigation. Lehman, like all cap- ite politicians, is delaying any jaction in the hope that the voting pee will die out. BANK DEPOSITORS i ENEMY SHEET | Demonstrate Before Jewish ‘Day’ | NEW YORK.—U. S. Bank Depos- | itors demonstrated Saturday at 4 p.m. jin front of the Jewish daily, “The | Day,” to protest against the stand of the newspaper in regard to the fight | of the depositors of the U. S. Bank to get their money back. Two de- | positors walked up and down carry- with the inscription: “Jew- Unfair to U. S. Bank De- h Di Police and detceives were stationed in front of the Socialist “Forward” and “Day.” A depositor, a member of the Com- mittee of 25 of the organization of depositors of the closed bank, ex- plained the purpose of the meeting. A committee of depositors went up to see Margoshes, editor of “The Day.” Margoshes told the committee that he would listen to only two of its | members. Me charged that the press “releases” of the committee are writ- ten by the Preiheif and Daily Work- | er. He also tried to discourage the committee, telling them ‘that the demonstrations would not help the Becheoskete Expose Margoshes When the committee reported back | to the depositors the accusations of | Margoshes, one of the depositors took | the platform and stated that al- though this accusation of the editor | of “The Day” was untrue, it was true | that the only papers that have .de- | fended the interests of the depositors j have been the Freiheit and Daily | Worker. He stated Margoshes was only trying to silence their voices and to disrupt the organization of | the depositors. He told the deposit- |ors to answer this attack by all of them becoming readers of the Frei- | heit and Daily Worker. Tt was also announced that a com- | mittee of depositors will go to Al- | bany to take up the case with the state legislature, and demand that the state government be responsible for all bank losses to depositors. The state banking department has already, under pressure of the depos- itors, submitted a bill to the state legi: ure to permit the department to borrow money from the Recon- | struction Finance Corporation to re- pay the depositors their losses. The Committee of 25 calls upon all U. S. Bank depositors to send word to the legislators from their districts that these bills must be passed. Case in Court The only other action so far taken by the state banking department is to file suit against 38 officers and directors of the defunct bank.

The strike has been called by the racke- teering officials of Local 338, Dairy Clerks Union, an American Federa- tion of Labor union. Two of the chief racketeers of that | Jocal, Willie Hochman and Sam Heller, are reported to have said that the L. Daitch Company used to pay them $500 graft a week not to or- ganize their stores, and that the com- pany donated $1,000 to one of the racketeers’ journals, But the racke-| teers now demand $1,500 a week and the company has refused to pay, For this reason the grafters of Local 338 declared their fake strike and the} stores of the L. Daitch Company are | being picketed now. Of course, the/ 200 workers of the company will not} benefit from this strike, The raketeering officials did not) even attempt to talk to the workers, but they are demanding that the| workers pay $59 each for a so-called “union book.” | ‘The Food Workers Industrial Union | should get on the job, and the work- ers of the L.

The union is pushing ahead to organize the fur dyeing industry, which employs 12,000 workers under most miserable conditions, in jthe of Intrigue by Bankers, Judges (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) The company lately has appeared to find the machinery of the com- pany union less and less necessary. Whereas the cut of some four years ago was put to a vote in the com- pany union, the next cut was consid- ered by the general committee, the next cut was at least announced by posters put up ahead of time by the company. This cut of January 1, 1933, was not put through any of this procedure. It was simply announced in the newspapers. It is plain that from neither the officials of the A. F. of L. union, the B. of L. E., o r other railroad broth- erhoods, nor from the I. R. T. Broth- erhood, can the men get any satis- faction. But the company fears when the men get together, even in meetings of the Brotherhood. There- fore, a recently formed group of I. R. T. employes is now circulating leaflets calling on all workers to get in touch with one of their number, Joe Gilbert, of 148 East 96th Street, Brooklyn, and to talk the thing over with all other I.-R. T. men they know, until a mass demand on the) delegates rises for a meeting at which a vote can be taken on accept- ing the wage cut.

Huang Ping, outstanding leader of the Chinese masses was a delegate to the Brussels Congress of the League | Against Imperialism in 1927. Huang was one of the leaders in the Hong- kong-Canton general strike in 1925, which lasted for about 18 months. From 1928 to 1931 he was represen- tative of the All Chinese Trade Union | Federation to the Hed International of Labor Unions, In 1927 he was People’s Commissar of Foreign Af- fairs in the Canton Soviet Govern- ment.

They declared that this eviction must be stopped or all the tenants of the three houses owned by the same company were liable to be thrown on the street.

The worker was evicted again the next day, but the neighbors | came to his rescue again. over Sunday. Among others, four families at 240 Siegel Street are to be evicted this morning. All work- ers who are able, employed as well as unemployed, meet at 61 Graham Avenue, 8 am, this morning and help stop evictions! HOME RELIEF ARRESTS FIVE NEW YORK.—The Williamsburg Unemployed Council led committees and demonstrations that stopped 18 evictions in the last week of Decem- ber; led 200 families to the Home Relief Bureau in November and De- cember and won 60 per cent of the cases—a total in two day jobs, rent. food, gas, electricity and food bills paid of $4,000. This is living proof of the results of organized struggle. However, the Home Relief Bureau has tried to split the ranks of the workers by consistently refusing relief to Negro families. Exactly for the Negro families, then, the Unemployed Council makes its sharpest struggle. Last Tuesday it took 30 families in- cluding three Negro families to the Bureau and demanded the cases of thé Negroes be taken up first. The Home Relief Bureau head re- taliated by having five present ar- rested, held under $500 bail, with cases coming up Wednesday at 9 a. m. in Bridge Plaza Court.
