Committee. to Place Demands Before Commissioner Greeff Thursday Morning NEW YORK.—The Negro doctors of Harlem, including those who were fired or forced to resign from the Tammany-controlied Harlem Hos- -pital, through their organization, the ‘special meeting on Feb. 3, denounced Swancement of Colored People officials Harlem Hospital charges. A.O.P. had secretly hand picked an “investigation committee.” The doc- tors sent the following letter to the NA.A.C.P. in answer to the latter's request for a statement of the Charges. “The North Harlem Medical So- ciety held a special meeting on Feb. 3, 1933, to consider recom- “mendations of its executive com- mittee relative to a letter received from the secretary of the N.A.A. <YP-P. which letter asked for charges - preferred against the management of the Harlem Hospital to be pre- sented to a committee appointed solely by the N.A.A.C.P. to inves- tigate conditions in the hospital. While this society desires to co- operate with any duly authorized competent and impartial body, it declines to present any charges to “the NAACP. for the following ‘reason: “1, The activities of the N.A.A. GP. and those of some of the members of the committee selected have been too closely associated to justify an impartial investigation of the charges against the manage- ‘ment of the hospital. One of those individuals of the Harlem Hospital who is accused of being responsible «for some of the charges is also a member of the board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P. ..- “2. The committee selected does “not have the authority to subpoena «or to grant immunity to witnesses, ~nor to make corrections of condi- tions in the hospital. “3. The N.A.A.C.P. has practic- ally committed itself through its -official organ, The Crisis, and in an article by its editor, one of the members of the committee, in the February, 1933, issue. Therefore, the N.A.A.C.P. further disqualifies itself either to direct or conduct an impartial investigation of the Harlem Hospital.” * North Harlem Medical Society (Signed) Dr, 8. A.

The People’s Committee has sent Commissioner of Hospitals Greeff no- tification of their coming Thursday morning to place demands before him.

Important, all good people to get together, inspired constitution, do something | about patching up the holes in the| fabric of capitalism.” Mr. Rice, if} | We are to accept “We, the People,” | jas his articles of political faith, | would do everything about the evils | of capitalism except destroy them by | destroying the system of which they are an integral part. Graft Is So Funny It is more difficult to trace the plot | in Mr. Berlins musical revue, for his | ideas are like so many soap bubbles wafted about by half-drunk Albertina | Rasch dancers, but if one is patient | and listens more attentively than one | can be expected to, it is gathered that | | Mr. Berlin is satirizing the discoveries | of the Seabury investigating com-| mittee.

The overtone of “Face the Music” can be verbalized into something like | the following. This man Seabury, a! priestly, over-serious and humorless blue-nose, has found that, Tammany | is corrupt as hell and is getting all} fussed up about it. Isn't he a boy Scout not to have known it all along? Well, let’s not be as foolish as to get all excited about it ourselves for (and | here an underpaid’ and underclad | chorus troops on the stage and sings) “What does it matter, the best things in life are free.” Two Kinds of Ridicule Ridicule, too, has a class character. The revolutionary working-class has also ridiculed the findings of the Seabury committee, but this ridicule is not good-humored. It ts the burn- ing, slashing ridicule of people who are being crushed, starved, jailed and murdered by a system which expresses itself politically in the form of poli- tical machines like Tammany Hall. | Workers know that the “best things | in life are free” in capitalist coun-| “Work NEW YORK. — The Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Society is a German workers’ mutual aid organ. ization whose purpose it is to pro- tect its members in case of sickness | or death. Like other fraternal or- ganizations, the Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Society invested part of its funds for safeguarding in mortgages. The present economic crisis brought it about that on a number of these houses the owners were not able to meet their obligations, the mortgage was foreclosed and the houses turn- ed over to the Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Society, and are run and administered by its National Ex- ecutive Committee. Strike At 556 Fox St. One of these is the apartment house at 556 Fox Street. Its tenants are workers—like the members of the Workmen's Sick and Death Be- nefit Society. They, too, are suffer- ing from the crisis and the boss at- tacks on the workers—-wage cuts and unemployment. The NEO of the WS and DBS knows what this means for workers. If they have not ex- perienced it themselves, they know at least of the growing destitution among the membership of their or- ganization, thousands of whom are unable to pay their dues and have to appeal for aid to the NEC. However, when one of the worker- tenants at 556 Fox Street, who has been unemployed for two years, was unable to pay his rent, did the NEC of the WS and DBS approach this question like a workers’ organization, did they apply the organization's watch word: “Solidarity”? No, in good old landlord fashion the un- employed worker was to be evicted. Prevented Eviction But the tenants of 556 Fox Street showed more proletarian solidarity than the NEC of the WS and DBS. They organized a house committee and prevented th» eviction with the assistance of the block committee. The agent, Ortland, a member of the NEC, was called to a conference by the House Committee and presented with the following demands: 1, Against the eviction of un- employed workers. 2. For réduction of the rent. 3. For acceptance of Home Re- men’s § lief Bureau checks in payment of rent. 4. For recognition of the house committee. However, Ortland, teprésenting thé NEC of the WS and DBS, refused | to even consider these demanhds—he was going to deal with individual tenants only—again in good old land- lord fashion. Whereupon thé tenants called a rent striké. Ortland bégah to terrorize the tenants. He wanted | to kick out the chaitman of the house committee. a Finally the tenants sent a delega- tion, Consisting of two tehants and a representative of the block com- mittee, to the National Executive meeting of the WS and DBS. All this body had for these workers were insults and threats of bodily violence. They didn’t like the house commit- tee and they didn’t lke the Block Committee — particularly the Block Committee, they wanted no “out- siders,” no representative of the Block Committee. The NEC alone is allowed to bring in outsiders—they sent a lawyer, Mrs. Rose Weiss to the tenants who told the tenants to come to her house. But she doesn’t want any “outsiders” either, she pre- fers to handle the tenants alone, without the assistance and protection of their neighbors, organized in the Block Committee. The tenants did not fall into this trap. They will act only through their house com- mittee and the strike is still going on. 8 Dispossess Notices Yesterday the members of the NEO put the crown on their whole anti- working class action by sending dis- possess notices to eight of the te- hants of 556 Fox St. With this the members of the National Executive Committee of the Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Society, allies of the ‘left’ Socialist Muste, have shown themselves in their true colors, have exposed themselves béfore the work- ers inside and outside their organi- zation as saboiagers of workers’ struggles, agents of the bosses, éné- | mies of the working class. ‘The tenants of 556 Fox Street are continuing their strike and mobiliz- ing to prevent any éviction.

For Mr. Rice's quarrel with cap- | italism is not with the system as such —it is a quarrel with certain of the more flagrant cruelties of capitalism which Mr. Rice apparently thinks can be eradicted without a major opera- tion in the form of a proletarian re- volution, And Mr. Berlin’s quarrel with Tammany Hall is similarly not @ quarrel with capitalist “democracy” as such—it is a quarred only what he would call the “vulgarity” of capitalist “democracy”—an argument, it can be seen, which finds its logical conclu- sion in open fascism, in a form of government in which the workers are not only made to face the music played by capitalists, but are forced to dance to it—A.

The Socialist Party, it was shown, called its conference after the call for the Albany Conference had been | issued by the A. F. of L., rank and | file committee. The effect of the So- | cialist Party city conference can be | no other but to divide the ranks of | the workers in the fight for Unem- | ployment Insurance and labor legis- lation in Albany.

In a stormy meeting held last Wednesday the members, by a majority of two to one, rejected the instructions of the 8. P. to with- draw from the Albany conference. Not only will the delegates of the Huntington local remain in the Pro- vistonal Committee, but representa- | tives of the local will go to the S. P, city conference to urge the delega- tion there to immediately unite with the original conference scheduled in Albany, for a single and effective fight of the workers for the demands outlined. The provisional committee, through its open letter, will urge all Social- ist Party organizations to send re- solutions of protest against the dis- ruptive city conference move, and will urge those delegates who come to the conference to fight for the merging of the delegates with the | workers’ united front at the Albany | Conference. The committee enlarged its exec- utive by 10 additional members. The executive will urge various organi- | zations to formulate bills, and other | proposals for the consideration of the | Albany conference. Speakers will be sent to cover meetings of hundreds of organiza- | tions to support the Albany confer- ence by sending delegates, endorse- ments and through immediate finan- cial support.

NEW YORK—A committee of 25, unempoyed teachers met yesterday | afternoon in fioni of the Emergency Relief Bureau where they attempted to send a delegation of 6 inside to see | Assistant Director Huston. Just pre- | vious to their arrival Huston had/ informed a group of reporters that he | would not see the teachers, that he had no money and no jobs to give them, and that he had told them before to go to the Home Relief Bureau. The teachers were determined, however. They refused to leave until Huston agreed to see one of them, Abraham Zitrin. To Ziltrin, Huston reiterated his statements claiming he had no money and no jobs and the teachers ought to apply to the Home Relief Bureau for help. When Zitrin replied that they wanted work, not charity, Huston had him thrown out by one of his strong-arm men, The teachers’ answer was picketing outside the building. They carried placards, some of which read “Classes overcrowded. Teachers Unemployed.” They attracted a sympathetic crowd of 200 or so workers. ‘The teachers are determined that they will not starve....that they will come back to the Gibson Committee in increased numbers and demand jobs.
