IZED Auto Workers Union} Prepared, Led Fight DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 15.— Over 550 Briggs auto strikers have returned to work, orga- nized under the leadership of the Auto Workers Union, after | winning a smashing victory in| their 3 day strike. The splen-| did victory of the Auto Work-| ers stands out as a becan light guide | for the steel and railroad workers who are affected by sweeping wage cuts. As a result of the 3 days of struggle the company was compelled to withdraw the wage-cut and take back all of those who were fired as a result of their activities in the building up of this strike. Further- more, the company was forced to withdraw the wage-cut in the other three plants of the Briggs Manufac- turing Co. Then again, the Hudson Motor Car Company had a notice pasted on the time clock announcing a 10 per cent wage cut. But the ac- tivities of the union and the strikers @s well as the mass distribution of the Michigan Worker and the Daily Worker, the organization of factory gate meetings, and the general pub- jicity and mobilization before all the factories, Ford’s, Dodge’s, Chrysler's, Hudson's etc., compelled Hudson ‘Motor Car Company to take off the wage-cut notice and put up a notice announcing that the wage-cut was withdrawn. Organized by Union Groups The strike in the Vernor Highway plant of the Briggs Manufacturing Company was organized by union groups inside of the plant. The or- ganization of this strike was part of building up the Auto Workers. Con- ‘terence called by the Auto Workers Union for Jan. 22, 2 'p. m. at Finnish ‘Hall, 5969 14th St. Practically ell of the strikers signed up with the union, many of them paying their initiation fee during the course of the strike, and received their membership books then. The general strike committees remain as the shop committee until new elections. This strike which was started by the tool and dia makers became known all over the city of Detroit; this in spite of the fact that the cap- italist newspapers ignored the whole movement. The strike spirit spread (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) AGREE TO STOP MINE PICKETING Officials of 2 Unions in Secret Sellout SPRINGFIELD, Jan. 15. — At a secret conference called by Governor Horner and attended by General Bi of the Illinois National Guard, John “4. Walker and Walter Nesbit of thi Onited Mine Workers of Amer- ica, { id C. E. Pearcy and Keck of ‘the | rogressive Miners’ of America, an agreement was reached to stop all picketing in Christian county. The national guard is to remain for “pro- tection” of scabs imported by the United Mine Workers from Kentucky, West Virginia and Southern Illinois. Soldiers have been placed in front of the mines and public places thru- out Christian County. Horner is working toward a consolidation of the leadership of the United Mine Workers and the Progressive Miners. ‘A secret conference is also going on between the John L. Lewis, president, and John H. Walker, president of District 12 (Tlinois) of the U. M. W., the coal operators and Governor Horner. Try to Crush Strike.

Syrian, Spanish, Ital- jan, Polish, Armenian, Negro and Jewish workers elected a strike com- mittee and organized their picket line, Two were arrested Thursday but have been released. Only two showed up to scab Friday, and th> picket demonstration of several hun- dred so dealt with them that they did not show up the next day.

Why is a campaign for $35,000 to the Daily Worker necessary? Each week the “Daily” has a de-| ficit of more than $1,200. This means} that the expenses of running the} paper are $1,200 more than the in- ceme. Here are the figures: Income subscriptions . $ 475.00 Bundles . 875.00 | Advertising 275.00 | Miscellaneous 25.00 PUOROL aru sh slats oa et ai gtcvet $1,650.00 Expenses Paper, composition, press work $1,525.00 Engraving 75,00 Post office expense ‘for mail- ing papers to subscribers.. 225.00 Wages .... 625.00 Telephone 31.25 Office postage, stationary and printing . 100,00 Telegrams . 75.00 Papers, magazines and pie- WUTER (S iicaueey Se see 25.00) Commission on ads. + 30.00 Rent .. . 50.00 Miscellaneous . eee 25.001 TOtAL ...sescceveeeeeeees ($2,886.25 Expense 2,886.25 Income 1,650.00 Deficit weekly . - $1,236.25 Why $35,000 Is Needed. In the last financial campaign, which closed Oct. 15, only $17,000 was raised instead of the $40,000 needed. This left a deficit of $23,000. The regular weekly deficit of $1,236 over & period of 13 weeks since Oct. 15, totals about $16,000. It is clear, therefore, that for the Daily Worker to survive, at least $35,000 is neces- sary. Workers, -we-have frankly~placed before you the financial situation of the Daily Worker because this is your paper and the “Daily” ‘has noth- ing to hide from its readers and sup- porters. But it is necessary to save the Daily Worker not for financial reasons alone. We must keep the “Daily” alive because it is a political necessity, a powerful, indispensable weapon in the struggles of the Amer- ican working masses. GEORGIA FAILS TO GET CHAIN VICTIM ILD Wins Fre Freedom for Young Negro Fugitive DETROIT, Mich. Jan. 15—An- other Georgia chain-gang fugitive won the fight against extradition, when James Crawford, 20-year-old Negro worker, was unconditionally released by police headquarters here. His release followed on the habeas corpus proceedings brought by attor- neys acting for the International La- bor Defense, and the mobilization of large masses of workers for his de- fense, The full effectiveness of the wide- spread exposures of the Georgia chain-gang horrors, which were made by the Daily Worker through the publication of Spivak’s book, “Georgia Nigger,” combined with the militant defense policy of the I. L. D., again became apparent yesterday, when Governor Comstock refused Georgia’s petition for Crawford's extradition. His case marks Ahe second victory of this kind, following on the refusal of the New Jersey governor to permit extradition of Burns, another escaped chain-gang victim, DELAY HEARING ON ROY WRIGHT Illegally Held in Jail Since April 1931 BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 15.— Hearing on the writ of habeas corpus for the release of Roy Wright, young- est of the Scottsboro boys, was post- poned a week, from Monday, Jan. 16, to Monday, Jan. 23. This postponement was made be- cause Attorney-General Thomas E. Knight, who had been subpoenaed by the International Labor Defense at- torneys, is in New York. The hear- ing will be before the same judge, John P. McElroy, in Jefferson County Circuit Court. At this hearing, the International Labor Defense attorneys, General George W. Chamless and Irving Schwab, will seek to force Attorney- General Knight, the chief of police of Huntsville, and the desk sergeant of the Huntsville police station, to oroduce ‘a letter written by Ruby “ates, in which she categorically de- nies that she was attacked by any of the nine innocent Negro boys} ployed some 5,000 in its network of whom the Alabama authorities are ‘rying to legally lynch.

News Agencies Lying About “Soviet War Declaration” World imperialism yesterday com- bined its efforts to create a pretext for a Japanese attack on the Soviet Union, with U. S., British and other imperialist news agencies broadcast~ ing reports of a “secret” non-aggres- | sion pact between China and the Soviet Union. These reports con- tain a deliberate distortion of the peace aims behind the struggle of the Soviet Union for non-aggression pacts with its neighbors and attempt to present these aims in the light of | the war alliances typical of the poli- | cies of the imperialist war-mongers. | They ignore the fact that the Soviet Union has offered a non-aggression pact to Japan, and already has sign- ed such pacts with Poland, France and other countries. War Provocation Stories. One report, emanating from |the imperialist nest at Peiping, peddled “recurrent rumors” that “the Russian Soviet Government contemplated de- claring war on Japan”, ‘but was forced to admit in the same breath that these rumors were met “with emphatic denials from all quarters”. ‘These war provocation stories fol- low on the heels of the rumors cur- rent in financial circles a few days ago that Japan already had declarzd, war on the Soviet Union, and mus: serve as a warning to the toiling masses of the world on the immi- nence of the armed attack on the Soviet Union for which the imper- jalists long have been preparing. Aid Robber War. The lying rumors that the Soviet government contemplates declaring war on Japan are aimed at building up a “moral case” for the Japanese imperialists in their robber war on China and their role as spearhead of world imperialism for armed in- tervention against the Soviet Union. They are aimed at providing new weapons for the social democratic leaders and allies of the imperialists sto come before the masses with lies of Soviet aggressions. They are di- rected toward covering up the re- actionary nature of ‘the imperialist attacks on the Soviet Union which is successfully building Socialism and admittedly:“forging ahead in indus- trial production precisely at the time when industrial production is drying up in the capitalist countries. No Data on Pact. The Nanking Government. several weeks ago resumed normal diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, after breaking off these relations in 1928 at the dictates of world imperialism. The Daily Worker has no informa- tion that the two |countries have signed a non-aggression pact. Such a non-aggression pact would be, however, completely in line with the consistent struggle of the Soviet Union for peace. In line with Soviet policy such a pact would have no secret clauses and would have the sole aim of a strengthening of defend- ing the toiling masses of the whole world from a new blood bath. On the other hand, the Soviet govern- ment has not hesitated |to make clear to the imperialist war-mongers that the Soviet masses and Red Ar- my will defend every single inch of Soviet territory, in“the light of Com- rade Stalin's declaration: “We do not want a single foot of foreign territory, but we shall not give up a single inch of our own , either, to anyone.” NEW YORK.—The McCrory Stores Corporation, which last year em- 244 retail five-and-ten cent stores, ay Evictions Threaten At 11 St. and Ave. A; Mass Picket Today NEW YORK. — Picketing con- tinued without incident Saturday and Sunday at the rent strikes at 11th Street and Avenue A, and at 1372 Franklin Avenue, Bronx. Evictions were not attempted during those two days. | But there is reliable informa- | tion that an attempt will be made this morning to evict a war vet- eran in the 11th Street strike, and the house committee and un- employed council calls for a mass picket line there this morning and ‘Tuesday morning. Mass]. picket lines are scheduled for the Bronx strikes also. “BIG SIX” TO VOTE ON RELIEF FUND $250,000 Proposed; It Needs Watching monthly meeting of Typographical Union No. 6 at Stuyvesant High School on Sunday, the membership voted to send to referendum a pro- posal to appropriate $250,000 from the Defense Fund for unemployment re- lief, It will require a four-fifths majority vote to divert this money from the fund. The officials of the union en- dorsed this action and “pledged them- selves to further the agitation among the members, even to the ringing of doorbells, for a successful vote.” At the June 19 meeting when the Amalgamation Party asked the union to use the accumulated interest in the Defense Fund, amounting at that time to $30,000, it was accused of “trying to kick the piers from ‘under the union.” A Possible Slush Fund. There will be an election in May and it is quite possible that the of- ficials, in order to perpetuate them- Selves in office, will utilize a great deal of this $250,000 as a “slush fund.” A bad feature of the proposal is the one that provides that the unem- ployed members must do “organiza- tional work” and push the union label. The Amalgamation Party members, while favoring the appropriation, were not given an opportunity of speaking on the question at the meet- ing. They were going to introduce an amendment that there be’ no strings attached to the collection of. bene- fits. The officials possible interpreta- tion of what constitutes “organiza- tional work” may include the dis- tribution of 4-page “Anti-Commun- ist” circulars, such as was introduced on Christmas Day by the Hewson administration.

Workers will demons- trate at the court. Weinstein will, at a meeting ar- ranged by the Tremont Workers Club, 2075 Clinton Ave. (near 180th St.) on Wednesday \at 8:30 p.m.. tell of his vicious frame-up.

TO ALL READERS OF THE DAILY WORKER: OMRADES: The editorial staff and busi- ness management of the “Daily” have tried in every way to make it possible to postpone as long as possible a financial drive to save our paper. In this we have had the loyal support of thousands of readers who enabled the Daily to extend its influence increasing the subscription list. Within the past period we have been able to cut down the weekly deficit from approximately $1,800 to $1,200, or one- third. This was accomplished by the necessity of financial r of Daily Worker agents and sale of copies of the “ y ting down expenses to the bone. The drive helped in this direction, and th tions that we are approaching the time 1en, with increased ales of copies of the “Daily,” we w ill be able further to cut down ti deficit. The editorial staff has tried in every to improve the contents of tie Dai It is in pursuit of this policy only that we believe the “Daily” can eventually be placed on a self-supporting basis. the realization of stically cut- scription re indica- ESULTS thus far in cutting down the deficit of thi “Daily” in this period of the greatest cri world has ever seen show that there are thous: workers who realize that the “Daily” is ;{ ndispensable for the working class and the oppressed toilers in fighting against the fierce hunger and war drive of American imperialism. Men, women and children, Negro and white, nat: born and foreign-born, fighting against hunger, lo to the “Daily” as their guide in action. In the terror- ridden share-croppers districts of the Alabama Bla Belt the Negro and white ims of lynch terr gather in their cabins to listen Tead to them from the columns of our “ ers everywhere, in every indust) ing to the Daily Worker not merely to expose the plots of the bosses, but to give them a lead in how to pre- pare and carry out struggles, The suspension of the paper at any time would be @ blow against the whole working class. To be forced to suspend now, in.a period when the world is in transition to a new round of revolutions and wars. would be a staggering defeat for the working class and an easy victory for the ruling class. If our paper were forced to suspend because of the unleashing of a crushing terror in a period of revolutionary upheavals or imperialist war, we would truthfully say we went down fighting. Many a revolutionary paper has met that fate. But it would be a disgrace if we were forced to suspend because money could not be ob- tained to enable us to catry on. We are sure that every class-conscious worker, every militant fighter and every sympathizer of our Pariy and our paper, realizes this, * . ‘© avert suspension we are compelled to appeal for a fund of not less than $35,000 that must be raised within the next few weeks. Right at this moment— TODAY—we must appeal to you to rush funds to the “Daily”. Do not delay, or wait for days to obtain a larger amount than you are now able to send, but rush funds today and get the rest tomorrow and the day after. Let us make this campaign one that will more firmly establish the Daily Worker among masses of workers and farmers. In carrying the financial drive we ¢ 1 not only save the “Daily”, but through the drive itself, bring into action against the capitalist class tens of thousands of workers who are ready and anxious to struggle. What they need is revolutionary leadership and this drive can help in that direction. —DAILY WORKER EDITORIAL STAFF. —DAILY WORKER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE Only $23.50 came in Saturday and yesterday in the drive to save the Daily Worker.

His family of nine faced starvation. A victim of the bosses’ onslaught, Weintraub was s%‘pped by a “merciful” capitalism to Kings County Hospital. Only his son Syd- nzy was working. The nineteen year old boy was left to support the fam- ily and to the nineteen year old boy was left the worry which had brought his father to insanity. Last Saturday night an ambulance was seen rushing to 109 Amboy Street, in Brooklyn, where the Wein- traub’s live. Just in time to find Mrs. Sarah Weintraub, 43 and her seven chil- dren, the youngest 5, dying of starva~ tion. “Just skin and bones,” whispered the surgeon as he left. For three days before this, three hours each day, Mrs. Weintraub had waited at the Home Relief Bureau, Public School 150, Belmont and Christopher Streets in Brooklyn. “For three days I stood in line, but I got no help, said Mrs. Wein- traub, and then I got too weak te go”
