It was made clear to the department heads that this could come by laying off men and doubling up the others, by working six day men five days, etc. or a combination of any methods— but the payroll must go down 20 per cent. the tended to the men From $27 to $20 A sample case was outlined: A six | day man getting $4.50 a day now draws $27 a week. If he is cut 10 per cent his week's pay comes down to $24.30. Then if he is laid off one day a week, his pay comes down to $20.25. Actual he would get less than $20 a week, because the Broth- erhood takes dues out o f his wages, and certain deductions are made for Brotherhood “relief,” etc. The departmental layoffs are al- ready going through, cautiously, one department at a time. Already one department is known to have laid off 20 men, and there are probably other cases not known.

Sec- retary to invite McCuistion to take the platform two weeks later. Open forums at the Seamen's House Were replaced by straight lectures after workers took the floor at every forum and spoke defending the Un- employed, Councils, the Revolution- ary Unions and the Communist Party. At one forum, seamen not connected with M. W. I.

Steps are being taken towards a mass meet- ing in P. 8. 75 on this issue. ie Oia Students Hold Protest Meet Evening school students and teach- ers attended a meeting at Washing- ton Irving High School Tuesday eve- ning where the threatened closing of the New York evening schools was discussed. Dr. Littwin, an official of the Board of Education, attempted to disrupt the meeting when he heard the chairman speak of the possibility of a student strike. He managed to maneuver the chairman out of his position and bulldoze the students present into electing a new chairman. However, despite his actions, most of the students present were in favor of the militant action proposed by rep- resentatives of the National Student League, ‘Right Winger’ Changes His Views Through Rent Strike NEW YORK.—The following letter te the Morning Freiheit, Communist daily Jewish language paper, which, the rent strikers at Bryant like the Dajly Worker( enthusiastically Avenue win their. victory, shows the Present attitude of a former “right winger.” The letter (translated from ——____-__. the Freiheit) says: “I, Alex Levin, member of Local 9, LL, G.

NEGRO AND WHITE YOUTH MEETING Lenin-Liebknecht and | Luxemburg Memorial NEW YORK.—Young Negro and whtie workers of New York partici- pated with enthusiasm in the Anti- War Mass Meeting yesterday, the fourteenth anniversary of the slaugh- ter by the German capitalists of Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemberg. These martyrs of the working class struggle are rightly remembered by the young workers as initiators of the youth movement which has to- day developed into- the Young Com- munist International. Speaking on behalf of the Young Communist League, Irving Herman pointed out that the glorious tradi- tions of these two leaders have been carried out by such American youth as Harry Sims, who was murdered last year by Kentucky gun thugs, and Joe York, a victim in the Ford Hun- ger March. Although both Lieb- knecht and Luxemburg made serious anti-Marxist errors, young workers especially now in the face of inten- sive imperialist preparations for war must continue the struggle of these leaders against imperialism. “In New York alone,” stated Her- man, “there are 450,000 unemployed young workers, with as many as 60,- 000 absolutely homeless.” To all young workers, the Young Commpnist League presents the following mili- tant program: 1. Immediate listing of all unem- | ployed youth and single persons and beginning of relief payment within three days after registration. 2. No discrimination against youth and single persons in the giving out of jobs. 3. National guard armories and closed settlement houses to be used for homeless, 4, No discrimination against Negro youth. James W. Ford, member of the Trade Union Unity League, and for- mer Communist candidate for Vice- President, pointed out that the con- tradictions in the capitalist system were deepening and that a militant defense of Soviet China and the Soviet Union is the duty of every worker. Rehearsal Tonight For Lenin Pageant NEW YORK.—There will be a gen- eral rehearsal today of all partici- pants in the Lenin Memorial pageant together with the W.LR. band at Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th Strest, at 8:30 p.m. sharp. All members of cultural groups should be present as it is their last chance for those whe have not at- tended swy of the rehearsals as yet.

When pre- ju Bordman summed up Weinstock and three witnesses, the entire audience acted as the jury, and shouted for the thunderous ver- diet of “guilty. All the members of the District | Council were present at the trial, with the exception of its secretary, Shapiro. The official clique brought with them a squad of some 30 “strong | arm” men, to assist in the tactics | of disrupting the rank-and-file gath- n the beginning to the end. ‘arly tactics of direct intimida- tion were answered by a thunderous roar of the workers, which convinced the officialdom of the solid and de- termined support behind the rank- and-file committee making the charges, When other tactics, marked by countless tricks and demogogy failed to shake the iron discipline of the workers, the entire gang marched out of the hall in the final attempt to disrupt the trial. But not a single worker followed them. Weinstock Brings Charges. In a speech lasting an hour Wein- stock quoted minutes of the Council, letters and other documents building up an unshakable case of corruption, strike-breaking and betrayal of the membership by the officials of the District Council and the General Ex- ecutive Board of the Brotherhood. He quoted from the minutes ad- missions made by a leading official that $22,000, had been spext during the last strike in picketing “wrong places.” He challenged D. C. officials to explain the reason why their henchmen accepted as little as one third of the original amounts of their bills presented after the strike. But the question remained unanswered, and Weinstock's charge that the “bills” represented outright corrup- tion and plunder of the Union’s treasury, stood. He related how on Oct. 3rd the Freiheit charged a theft of some $30,000 from the° union treasury, and how upon court investigation the funds swindled reached around $100,- 000. Weinstock, further established the indisputable connection between Zausner, the responsible swnidler in this fraud with the G.E.B. which consistently shielded Zausner and still supports him. Role Of Socialists. Weinstock cited articles from the Socialist New Leader which in the attempt to shield the corrupt Soci- alist officials, carried articles entitled “Graft Charges Fall Through,” he cited, at the same time, the role of the Forward which ¢arried photo- graphs and large size ads of the arch- swindler, Zausner, Dealing at length with the betrayal of the strike by the Council and Ackerly acting for the G.EB., Wein- stock quoted from Ackerly’s letter to the bosses in which the boss was guaranteed scabs for the purpose of defeating the workers, The defeat of the strike and the so-called three scale agreement were sealed by the signatures of Ackerly and Shapiro. The Council, charged Weinstock, is responsible for the pre- sent condition because it acted in full co-operation with Ackerly. Driye Out Members. At the outset of his indictment, Weinstock placed responsibility on the Council officials and the G.E.B. for the appaling loss of membership and squander of funds, The G.EB. is responsible for the squander of $467,- 000 spent in the “organization” drive which resulted in the loss of 45,000 members in the last 2% years, Wein- stock charged, All of his statements were confirmed by the three witnesses, Girsh, Solo- mon and Sacks. The first two wit- nesses told of the strike breaking activities of the GEB. in Los An- geles and Cleveland while Sacks fur- nished detailed proofs of numerous cases where the workers locally had been betrayed in the interests of the bosses by members of the Council. Numerous proofs of union mem- bers working below scale, with the knowledge and through compulsion by the Council officials were cited by Weinstock, and particularly through his reference to the letter written by members of Local 848. Thunderous applause broke out at the conclusion of Weinstock’s speech. ___ Official “Defense.” Five of the District Council offi- cials were given unlimited time to make defense of the G.E.B. or the Council against the charges made, but the “defense” was such that the other officials immediately refused to acknowledge their spokesmen as representing either of these bodi Whatever was said by them, they de- clared, was stated on individual re- sponsibility. Boos and shouts of ee ere ero: Correction; Ford Attacked Negro National Reformism The city editor regrets that an item slipped into Saturday's edition saying that James W. Ford at Harlem Workers’ Center Thursday night de- nounced “Negro Nationalism.” What was meant, of course, was that Ford opposed the proposal for Bourgeois “Jim Crow” Negro nationalism which the Sufeite advocated. Ford, naturally, was not going baek on his repeated declarations while running for Vice President of U. S. on the Communist ticket, in favor of Self Determination in the Black Belt. His attacks were levelled against the Negro national reformists who betray the Negro liberation struggle under cover of ‘left’ phrases. An article analysing the reformist tendncies of who desire to participate. No talent or previous experience required, the Sufeites and Garveyites will fol- low soon, “liar continued throughout the speeches of the officials, Notable among these was Mc- Namara, who cleverly sought to divert attention from the charges by at- tempting to arouse anyvzgonism be- tween the members on the basis of race prejudice, advocating at the same time a union job monopoly by demanding the expulsion of all the members who joined the union dur- ing recent years. McNamara, how- ever, openly admitted that all the charges brought by Weinstock and the witnesses could not be refuted. Rank-And-File Program. The rank-and-file committee, did not, however, confine itself to making charges, it brought forward a pro- gram of action which called forth en- thusiastic a;froval from the mem- bership. The program was presented in the concluding remarks made by Bordman. Some of the points of this program are: 1, The rank-and-file to continue its fight to take control of the union and to establish democracy in the union. 2, Reinstatement of all members who dropped out for non-payment of dues, 3. Organization of Job and Shop Committees to initiate struggles for improved conditions on the job. 4. Creation of Unemployed Com- mittees which would rally the union membership behind the struggles of unemployed for relief and Social In- suyance, and would at the same time obtain the support of the unem- ployed behind struggles of employed members for improved conditions on the job. These and numerous other provi- sions for building the union, elimi- nating the treacherous officials and waging a fight for improved condi- tions on the job were unanimously adopted by those present at the meet- ing. ‘Lay Off My Territory’ Says Police Inspector To Arrested Organizer NEW YORK. — Julius Schwartz, trade union organizer was arrested Saturday on 14th Street and 2nd Avenue by detectives of the Radical Squad and taken “for a ride” down to the headquarters of the radical Squad. There the Inspector laid down the law to Schwartz to “lay off” from the cleaning and dying trade which the Radical Squad claims for itself. Juluis Schwartz was manhandled by the detectives who tried to force a promise from him that he will not interfere with their “racket.” The Radical Squad, it is apparent from the information, is working with the Bosses Association and the labor fakers in control of the Drivers Union to force wage reductions and estab- lish non-union conditions in the in- side shops, At a meeting of the Inside Local of the Cleaners and Dyers the role of the Radical Squad on the side of the bosses will be exposed and pro- posals made to mobilize the workers to fight against the racketeers with which the Radical Squad is working hand in hand. | Work Bureau Holds Up Employes’ Pay NEW YORK.—All the workers employed by the City Committee Work Bureau, of the Home Relief Bureau, have heen going without pay for the last 11 days. Last Thursday, which was pay day, it was announced that there will be no pay until next week. Wages |have been held back for all em- | ployes, including the clerical help, the investigators, and those wor! ing on the Bear Mountain emer- gency work. The higher officials, of course, are still paid their regular salaries without waiting. HONOR MELLA, CONDEMN TERROR 500 Protest Murder and Score Machado NEW YORK.—Over five hundred Cuban and American workers at a commemoration mass meeting in the Spanish Workers Center at 1413— Sth Avenue, Friday night protested the assassination of Julio Antonio Mella, a young Cuban revolutionary hero who was slain in Mexico at the beginning of 1929, by the orders of President Machado of Cuba, insti- gated by the imperialism of the United States, William Simons, the National Sec- retary of the Anti-Imperialist League, spoke on the growing importance of Anti-Imperialist work and terror in Cuba, stressing the necessity of draw- ing the American workers into the tasks of fighting imperialism in the Latin-American Countries. The workers cheered loudly when Simons mentioned the importance of a protest calling for the immediate release of Huang Ping, the National Secretary of the Chinese Federation of Labor Unions. Kaplan, a young worker, delivered a short talk on what she saw in Tampa, Florida, and related the cruel inquisition of political prisoners in the Tampa jails, where several are serving sentences from one to ten years for organizing the Florida to- bacco workers, A resolution was adopted and a telegram sent to the warden of the Tampa Jail and the County Jail Com- missioners Committee, demanding a more humane treatment of the al- ready sick comrades. The last number on the program was a performance by the Red The- atre Group of a sketch entitled “Hunger Junction.” TO EXTEND HUNGER PROGRAM .. WASHINGTON, D. ©C., Jan. 15.— While commending the achievements of Hoover “economy” budget, the U. S. Chamber of Commerce made plans yesterday for a still more vi- cious attack on the toilers of this country. In a detailed plan for further “economy” at the expense of the workers, M. S. Sloan, chairman of the C. C. committee on federal ex- penditures recommended further ex- penditure reductions of some $800,- 000,000 ineluding a cut of $250,000,000 for public works, and $400,000,000 for veterans benefits.

Thirty-six delegates from various working-class organizations were re- presented. Delegates from the Greek Workers of the Food Wor trial Union, from th Fur partment of the Needle Trades In- dustrial Union, from the Marine| Workers Industrial Union greeted the United Front Committee of Action, endorsed its program and its de- mands and pledged full support, Two women spoke as representatives from the West 17th St and 37th St. Block Committees. The spokesmen for the United Front Committee condemned the Ar- chbishop for calling on the police to intimidate the Greek Workers del- egation and viciously slandering and diseriminating against the Greek working class women, “The representative of God’ was finally forced to promise to inyesti- gate the charges. . Jane Williams, Secretary of the West Side Unemployed Council greeted also the workers. Economakos, representing the “Empros,” the Greek Labor Weekly delivered an attack against a small group of Trotskyites, who came as delegates under the disguise of a fake Greek Workers Club. Mr. Pa- lainis, the priest of the Santa Bar- bara Church, tried to persuade the workers to have faith in the church, the Archbishop, and God ag the only means af alleviating the misery and suffering of the masses. Mike Daniels, the spokesman of the United Front Committee of Greek Unemployed Workers denounced this speech, telling of the hypocriscy and failure of the Archibishop and the Central Committee of the Greek Charities to live up to their promises. He charged that the demands pro- posed by the delegation of the United Front Committee and accepted at the joint meeting of the Central Com- mittee of the Greek Charities and the Archbishop were distorted deli- berately by the Archibishop in the report printed in the Greek daily bourgeois paper, “The Atlantis.” New 5-Cent Issue of Communist Manifesto NEW YARK.—The New York dis- triet of the Comunist Party has had published 2,000 copies of the “Com- munist Manifesto,” price 5 cents, These pamphlets must be widely dis- tributed by all mass organizations, Pamphlets may be secured at the District Literature Department on the 5th floor, 50 East 18th St, Bishop Noli Proposes Social Democracy For Albania; Crowd Objects NEW YORK he Albanian ex- ruler, Bishop Noli, in his full robes, | told an audience of some 200, mostly Albanian workers, here in Manhattan’ > Lyceum yesterday that if he could | ] overthrow King Zogu and become} | Ba dictator of Albania, he would set up { a Social Democratic regime. That brought a fire of questions and protests from the crowd, which reminded him of the hangman's work done by the Social Democratic party in Germany, of the imperialism of MacDonald while he was still a Labor- ite and in the Second International, and of the clubbing of the unem- | ployed by the American Socialist Party administration in Milwaukee.
