The police refused Monday to al- Jow the strikers to start an open air meeting on the block because they had no permit. However, when a permit was applied for it was refused. Undeterred, the strikers held their meeting in defiance of a police squad, who hesitated before attacking the crowd of two hundred. SEAMEN INSIST ON MASS ACTION YMCA Tries and Fails to Stop Speech NEW YORK.—The largest hall in “Seamen's House,” seamen’s Y.M.C.A. Was crowded to the doors Monday night to hear W. C. McCuistion of the Marine Workers Industrial Un- fon speak on the subject “Revolu- tionary Mass Action vs. Passive Re- sistance.” All six I.W.W. in New York were present to defend their “folded arm” policy, but the Y.M.C.A. refused to allow discussion. ‘The meeting was arranged several weeks ago when a Ghandist spoke there on “Passive Resistance” and seamen demanded the right to an- swet. Just before thé meeting started the Rev. Healey, head of Seamen’s House called McCuistion into his office. Mc- Cuistion took another member of the union with him. “It's off,” said Healey. speak tonight.” “We Don’t Break Word” “Mr. Healey,” said McCuistion, “You may break your word to the seamen, but we won't. We announced that we would speak here tonight and We will, regardless of interference.” Healey called in officials of the New York Y.M.C.A, and police offi- ¢eials and the point was argued. They finally said they would let McCuist- Ac- tually he spoke for 57 minutes ex- actly. “You can’t Before McCuistion took the floor a@ Y. M. C. A. man spoke for twen- ty minutes on Technocracy, giving ‘@ very hazy account of this new tool of the bosses. McCuistion cleared up the point, by showing that Techno- eracy, like other boss weapons, was designed to confuse, and to lead the workers into passive resistance. He denounced the I.W.W. who once hired Howerd Scott, chief technocrat, to Solve the class struggle for them. Rulers Never Passive McCuistion analyzed the “passive resistance” move as a capitalist trick to keep the workers from fighting back against capitalist aggression. Passivity never applied to the ruling class, he pointed out. It was always tHe workers, or oppressed colonial masses, who were to exercise passive resistance, allowing themselves to be treated brutally, and oppressed with- out resistance. That applied to all cases of passivism, and legalism, as practiced by Ghandi, the pacifists, and the Iw.w. Citing how mass action was used by the revolutionary unions, aboard ships, and ashore, McCuistion showed hhow the workers had won victories hy this sort of action, under the lead- ership of the revolutionary orgartiza- jons. He told of the Point Gorda, where the crew fought for a whole trip, gaining one point after another, thru resistance, and gained the support of the unorganized and unemployed seamen in two ports to help»them. He cited the case of the IMM. ship Cartago, where mass action suc~ ceeded, in New York Harbor, in fore- ing the company to put fourteen workaways off the ship and do the work aboard by paid labor. The crew of the Cartago took part in the struggle, although they were unor- ganized, and the unemployed ashore gave a hand. ‘The talk was very successful from the organization standpoint, since it showed the seamen just how a revo- . lutionary union functions and how victories are gained, even in times industrial crisis of es i} |march from Stone and Pitkin | Christopher and Belmont where they | will remain in mass permit has been obtained from the for the following line of march. e workers of the Bast New York headquarters will march down Tre- mont St. to Hinsdale, to Sutter to Stone and Pitkin.

NEW YORK.—Everybody is urged to come and join the mass picket line at 1th St. and Avenue A this Morning, as the battle for rents goes on there between about 40 tenants and the landlord.

Strikers Grows SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 17— Murder charges against 22 striking Christian County miners were brought today by a grand jury domi- nated by tools of the Peabody Coal Company. The miners were arrested for defending themselves against a murderous gunfire attack by depu- tized thugs supplied by the corrupt United Mine Workers offtvialdom in their efforts to crush the heroic struggle of the Christian County miners. One miner's wife and two Lewis gunmen were killed in the shooting, The leaders of the Progressive Min- ers of America, of which the 22 pris- oners are members, are doing nothing to organize a mass defense move- ment for the arrested miners. They have rejected two offers of assist- ance made by the International La- bor Defense. Instead they are pow- wowing with the Lewis-Walker mis- leaders of the U.M.W. in an effort to settle their differences regarding which group is to be the official Scab-herder for the Peabody com- pany. Mass meetings are being organized by the Unemployed Councils and the International Labor Defense throughout the coal fields, where protest resolutions are being adopted demanding the release of the arrested men. Miners are discussing the ques- tion of a short protest strike. Westville miners, members of sub- district 3 of the United Mine Work- ers, are calling a rank and file con- ference Jan. 2, to repudiate the cor- rupt Lewis-Walker machine, as well as the wage-cut contract signed for two more years by Lewis and Walk- er? This conference will also discuss plans for organizing a united front of all Tlinois miners at a state con- ference to be held in the near future. The Westville miners, as well as those in many other towns, members of both the P.M.A. and the U.M.W., are sending delegates to the Spring- field state conference on unemploy- ment, to be held Jan, 24-25, Stage and Screen “ZWEI MENSCHEN” OPENS AT ACME THEATRE TODAY Beginning today, the Acme Thea- tre will present “Zwei Menschen.” “Zwei Henschen” {s a dramatic love story.

FIRING ITS SIGNAL MEN; NEW RISK TO WORKERS Lay-offs Violate Its Own Contract With Its Company Union NEW YORK.—The Interborough Rapid Transit Co. (LR:T.) is sneed- ing up its, campaign of lay-offs to reduce the pay rolls by 20 per: cent, along with the 10 to 30 per cent wage cut ordered by the courts some weeks ago. The lay-off campaign is now tak- | |ing a form that menaces the lives |of every worker in New York who | has to ride the LR.T. to work, as j Well as the lives of the subway and j elevated crews themselves. Firing Signal Men The signal department was picked | out for the second big slash in em- ployment this week, discharges hav- ing already taken place last week in another department. This week at least 75 signal men are being fired. The result will ap- pear in wrecks and accidents in the very near future, as the present force of signal men is just enough to get by with. Lay-offs in this department mean speeding the other signal men, who are already harrassed by wage cuts and speed up. Your Life In Danger! Here is an issue in which all New York workers must rally to the help of the LR.T. employes, not only be- cause wage cuts in one industry help reduce wages in every other, but because of the direct menace to life of the worker riders on the LR.T. In the past when accidents took place the company always blamed its workers. _Tt will try to do this in the future. But who is really to blame, when signal men are being fired and a dangerous situation de-. liberately created by the company and receivers? Take a Risk for $17 Some idea of the ruthlessness of the wage cuts on the LR.T. can be gained from the remark of one of the receivers now being circulated around, that, “$17 a week is enough for a trackman.” It is exactly these trackmen, working at night, near running trains, that suffer the great- est loss of life. With part of the signal men abolished, the trackmen will be slaughtered in still greater numbers. In cutting wages now, the receivers are violating their own contract with the LR.T.’s own company union, the Brotherhood. Continue Contract The unfair contract of 1927 de- scribed in the Daily Worker of Jan. 9, it has now been discovered, was secretly continued forever, unless de- nounced by one side or the other 60 days before April 30, 1933, or Dec. 30 of any year thereafter. It was continued by @ bargain, known as a Supplementary agreement, arrived at between Victor Dowling and Thomas E. Murray, the receivers appointed by the court, and the General Commit- tee of the Brotherhood. The sup- plementary agreement was made on Dec. 30, 1932. ‘The supplementary agreement pro- vided for the wage cuts. Break Own Contract It did not provide for the layoffs. In fact it prohibited them! 'The first article of the supplementary agree- ment says: (Page 12 of the printed agreement.) “The Company agrees to employ each of the several members of the Brotherhood now in its employ for the period of one year from the Ist day of January, 1933...” This is exactly what the company is not doing. It is breaking even tts own contract with its own company union to discharge enough workers, all members of the Brotherhood, to reduce pay rolls by 20 per cent in every department. And it is going about this in a way to endanger the lives not only of its employes but of thousands of other New York workers. Y.C.L. Members Jailed and Beaten to Break Strike in Hoboken, N.J. HOBOKEN, N. J.—Rocco and Pet- roni, two leading members of the Young Communist League, who were prominent in the Ferguson furniture strike, have been arrested and sen- tenced to 30 days each for distribut- ing strike literature to the Ferguson strikers. Three other members of the YCL were beaten up recently by gangsters here in the course of the strike. It was by means of this police ter- ror, together with the more subtle methods of the Musteites, headed by Louis Budenz, that the bosses man- aged to break this strike. SPEED WAR PREPARATIONS MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 17—Intensified war preparations have led to a new experiment by the army air-squad- ron stationed at Mitchel Field, N.

NAACP BOWS T0 SLAVERY IN MISS. Speaker Refuses to Fight Forced Labor NEW YORK —Negro and white workers put a crimp in the sugar coated speech: of Walter White of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People last Saturday night at the “Inter-racial Forum”. Two hundred attended the meeting. White offered the bosses’ “way out” for Negroes subjected to Slavery in the Mississippi flood area. After reporting that forced labor existed on government levee work around the Mississippi, White in an- swer to questions by workers from the floor, gave as the “solution” a Congressional investigation and Placed faith in a bill to be intro- duced by Senator Wagner. White could give no sensible an- swer when he was asked what would be done after the “investigation” and ‘Why appeal from Caesar to Caesar?” In his answer to a question about the right of Negro majorities in Mississippi to vote and form la- bor unions he said these rights were “impossible” to secure. The Senator’s Interest. White was forced to admit that the two Mississippi senators were in- terested only in northern contrac- tors doing the job. He then stated that it was useless to demand an end to these conditions and said that to expect wages Similar to those paid by the government in the north was out of the question. Walter White and the rest of the N.AA.C.P. leadership have proven themselves time and again to be the representatives of the bosses who try to keep the Negro workers from unit- ing with the white fellow workers in @ common struggle. A_ congressional in vestigation might expose some of the horrors forced upon the Negro people in the flood area, but very little or nothing would be done about it, unless ac- companied by a militant campaign of the Negro people together with the white workers, against this slavery, City Workers Fighi O’Brien’s “Economy” NEW YORK. — Mayor O'Brien’s “economy program” of cutting the ‘wages of city employees boomeranged into a cut in graft for his Gibson Committee when city workers voted t© stop contributing the 1 per cent of their salaries to the “Mayor's Emergency Fund”. ‘The mayor's “economy” amounts to cutting the wages of the city work- ers and then shifting the burden of Felief on to the backs of the rest of the workers who will now have to pay the extra tax through higher Tents, etc., to make up for the short- age in Tammany “relief”.

Scheidiinger, president of the Associated Fur Coat & Trimming Manufacturers, Inc proposing a conference in order te discuss a labor contract between the For association and the union. The letter “You are certainly aware fact that during the past several years, the fur industry has under- gone a series of changes resulting in considerable disorganization and greatly affecting the working condi- tions of the furriers. In view of this situation the fur workers demand several modifications and additions to the contract, in order to improve the conditions of the employed fur workers and to provide relief to the large number of furriers who are not in a position, because of the crisis, to obtain any work even during the height of the season. “The changes and additions re- quested by the furriers are as fol- lows: “No contracting and subcontract- ing shall be permitted in the fur in- “Every Association Manufacturer is to contribute 1% per cent of his total weekly payroll to the Furriers Un- employment Insurance Fund which shall be administered by a commit- tee of elected workers. “Overtime shall be limited and per- mitted only in the height of the sea- son and in those shops staffed to capacity. “Three additional months of equal division of work. “Workers employed two weeks shall be entitled to equal division of work. “Only one employer shall be per- mitted to work in the shop. “The Union shall have the right to discipline manufacturers who vio- late the agreement. “There shall be no discrimination against Negro workers. ‘They shall receive equal pay for equal work. “Women workers engaged in the industry shall be paid equally with the men for the same work. “No impartial chairman—all dis- j putes shall be adjusted by the Union and the Association representatives. “We suggest the calling of a con- ference as soon as possible and hope you will inform us of the date and place convenient for you.” 11 Fur Shop Sstrikes The following shops are on strike against wage cuts, union discrimina- tion, contracting and for decent un- ion conditions: Schinazy Fur Co., 350 Seventh Ave.; H.

Now it’s a tricky scheme from the Tammany high chief of schools, Su- perintendent O'Shea, to clip $3 each | day from the $6 a day salary of sub- | stitute school teachers of New York | City. Listen to the way it works: the New York Sun, Jan. 13) “Substitute A will take a class for | one week, for which she will be paid the $6-a-day wage, while Sub- Stitute B will take the class for the succeeding week on the same basis. While Substitute B is serving, Sub- stitute A will receive no compensa- tion and will not be required to teach, although she will be encouraged to eq-operate with her colleague to pro- mote smooth operation of the plan. Substitute A will return as teacher in the third week, during which Substi- tute B will be encouraged to act as her assistant without pay. (Emphasis ours.—Editor.)

East Side Workers Open Neighborhood Center on 15th St. NEW YORK. — Many _ starving workers who had never before par- ticlpated in a struggle for relief unanimously pledged their support of the E. 15th and E. 16th St. Block Committees on the occasion of the opening on Friday by the block com- mittees of the new Neighborhood Workers Center at 515 E. 15th St. Manhattan. The great need which the workers of this neighborhood feel for the leadership of the block committees and the need for their own center was expressed in their eagerness to | serve on the committee for care of | the headquarters and- arrangement of the Block Acquaintance Party on Jan, 27, Twenty-nine workers regis- tered for the East Side Unemployed Council; and one employed worker lent the bloek committee $5 to help | pay the rent.

Nor does he mention the devastating effect on the nerves of the children through rotation of teachers.
