| seascge —__ CALL ISSUED FOR DAiLY WORKER, NEW YOR TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, NI TED FRONT NA TION 1933 Page Three -WIDE DEMONSTR ATION FOR UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND RELIEF ON MARCH 4th! Demand A HERNDON Congress Meet) on Jobless Aid Toilers of All Groups, | Unorganized Urged to Unite Ranks NEW YORK—The National Com- mittee of the Unemployed Councils, through its National Secretary I. Amter, yesterday issued the follow- ing call for nation-wide demonstra- tions on March 4th: “WORKERS: “The situation of the working class daily becomes more desperate. Hunger stalks the land. Millions of workers and their families are starv- ing. Nowhere do he relief organi- zations even pre- lend that they are providing relief to all the needy. On the contrary, they admit that the distress grows ] every day, and § they cannot cope with it. : “We workers — have not taken I, Amter this — situation hands down, waiting for something to happen. Everywhere the workers are fighting against hunger. Under the leadership of the Unemployed Councils, they are fighting fot relief and against evictions, for lower rents and cheaper food prices, They are procuring relief for the Negroes, for- eign-born and single workers, all of whom are discriminated against and in most cases are denied relief. State Bills for Future. “The demand for immediate relief and for Unemployment Insurance grows daily. Roosevelt and the Dem- ocratic Party made demagogic pro- mises—but the workers have received no real aid. The Democratic platform pledged unemployment tmsurance— but the bills that are being intro- duced in the states will not provide one penny to the 16,000,000 totally unemployed in ‘the country. These bills will grant AT MOST about two doliars a week to workers who may be unemployed in the future. They require weeks of waiting till the un- employed worker of the future will get insurance. And none of them will go into effect till 1935 or 1937! “On March 4th, Roosevelt will be inaugurated president of the United States. Up to the present, he has been a “private citizen.” He is not a “private citizen” when he deals with the European debts of the Wall Street | bankers. He confers with foreign ambassadors and arranges all the necessary measures. He is not a “pri” vate citizen” when he deals with loans of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to banks and railroads. He confers with democratic leaders in the United States congress, Special Relief Session. On March 4th we workers will in- | angurate an intensified campaign to force Roosevelt to call a special ses- sion of the new democratic congress, with one order of business—Immedi- ate Unemployment Relief and Unem- ployment and Social Insurance. The struggle that the workers have put up has brought results. In Chi- cago, the workers forced the authori- ties to withdraw the 50 percent relief cut. In St. Louis, they forced the city to give relief to 18,000 families that they cut off the list. In New York, they forced the city to make higher appropriations for relief. The National Hunger March and the State Hunger Marches have compel- led the authorities to make more and more concessions to the unemployed. How Bosses Agents Act. Nevertheless, hunger grows — the misery of the masses deepens. Work- ers toiling part time earn less than many getting relief. The American Federation of Labor officials, revers- ing their position, now support the fake “unemployment insurance” bills of the bosses. The Socialist Party and the Musteltes, pretending that the A. F. of L, leaders have turned “peyolutionary”, support the same bills.. At the same time, with the aid of the socialist and Musteite leaders, the bosses have introduced yatious kinds of “self-help”, barter and exchange schemes, which have one aim: To relieve the bosses and the government of the need of pro- viding adequate relief and unemploy- ment insuranse. All Out Mareh 4th! Workers: Shall we continue to Starve? Shall we allow our children to die of hunger? Our answer is a determined N Under the leader- ship of the Unemployed Councils on March 4th, we will mobilize and dem- opstrate as on March 6, 1930, when the struggle began for Unemployment Insurance. By the millions we must demonstrate in the streets of every city and town—employed and unem- ployed, Negro and white, men and w men, young and adult workers— in the demand that Roosevelt shall carry out the program of the jobless millions. Hunger will not wait — (he workers will fight! For United Struggle, In this struggle, there is the cry- ine need of Unity of all toi'ers. Rverv- where the demand for United Strug- gle with United Ranks is vivid. Never before was unity more necessary than vow when the masses face starva- tion and the grave danger of war. Various other organizations’ — the o-called Workers Committees on Un- employment Unemployed Citizens’ eagues, etc.—carry on their work, olitting the ranks of the workers, thereby helping the bosses and the sovernment cut or deny relief. The workers in these organizations must. not tolerate this division of our ranks. The Unemployed Councils c&ll for unity of all workers, We propose ‘aat in the daily struggle, the work- | NEW APPEAL FROM DEATH CELL Young Negro | ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 6—~From the | Fulton County prison where he is | confined in the death cell, Angelo Herndon, Negro organizer of the un- employed, yesterday answered Judge D. Thomas’ dental of bail to him, with @ new appeal to the toiling masses to rally to the campaign lead by the International Labor Defense for his release and for the smashing of the murderous chain gang systern, On Saturday, Judge Thomas arbi- trarily rejected the demand of the I. L. D. attorneys that bail be set for | Herndon, and threatened with a) death sentence with the statement that the appeal against the chain Bang verdict of 18 to 20 years might “result in the defendant's being given @ capital sentence.” Herndon’s ap- Peal is directed to the entire working class and especially to the white and Negro toilers of Georgia: | Fight Just Begun. | “Fellow workers, I appeal to you to support the International Labor De- | fense in its fight to force the bosses of Georgia to release me immediately. The bosses of Georgia and their courts think by railroading me to the| chain gang they will be able to crush | the struggles of white and Negro workers. But they are mistaken! “The struggles of white and Negro workers against starvation and op- pression have just begun! split the ranks of the working class and prevent us from organizing to- gether for our common interests. Par- | ticularly is this so in Georgia and| throughout the South, where the| Negro toilers are subjected to the most brutal and inhuman oppression | by the white ruling class. The bosses hope to be able, without resistance from the working class to carry on their policy of brutal rule, of terror- ism, lynching, persecution and star- vation of both Negro and white work- | ers. Defend All Class War Prisoners. | “T appeal to you, white and Negro toilers, to organize and carry for- ward our struggles against starvation, for unemployment relief and social | insurance. I appeal to you to support the militant class policy of the LL.D. for the defense of Angelo Herndon and other victims of capitalist jus- tice, for the defense of all class war prisoners, who ‘are being daily framed up as Tom Mooney was framed, as the Scottsboro boys and the Atlanta Six are being framed. “There are many ways in which you can help the LL.D., by joining the LL.D. or actively supporting its | mass defense campaigns, by contrib- uting to its defense funds, by helping | to raise money, by raising the ques- | tion of the class war prisoners in your | organizations, in your shops, etc., by | exposing the frame-up nature of the) charges against the class-war prison- | ers, by showing the masses that An- gelo Herndon has been sentenced to the chain gang for the “crime” of or- | ganizing white and Negro workers together for joint struggle for bread, against starvation, against the na-| tional oppression of the Negro mas- | ses, against imperialist war.

For immediate relief in every neighborhood, city and state. Let us unitedly battle against evictions, for lower rents, against child starva- tion, etc. Into this unity must be drawn all workers, regardless of na- tionality, color, sex, age, political or religious affillation. 2. One united struggle on March 4 in demand for immediate federal re- lef and Unemployment Insurance. 3. On March 5th, the Unemployed Councils are calling 2 national con- ference in Washington, D. C., to which we invited elected representa- tives of the rank and file of all un- employed organizations. The purpose of this conference is to work out Joint demands and to elect a delega- tion to present the demands to Roo- sevelf on March 6th.

F. of |L. to defend Louis Weinstock and a large number of other members of the Brotherhood against the expul-| sion drive instituted by the District Council No. 9 officials. Louis Weinstock, with the full knowledge and approval of his local) union, No, 499, testified recently be-| jfore the Senate Judiciary Sub-Com- | mittee, where he exposed the anti- |labor character of the Black Bill and made a@ fight for Unemployment Insurance, demanding at the same time that any reduction of the work- ing day or week must not be accom- | panied by any wage reductions, He Iso proposed a minimum wage mendiment.

J.—The recent Fer- guson Furniture Co. strike here ex- posed clearly the strike-breaking tac- tics of the Musteites, the “left wing” of the American Federation of Labor. I was present at one of the meet- ings of the Strike Committee, and saw the subtle maneuvering of the Musteite, Louis Budenz, who was trying to gain leadership of the strike after the sudden disappearance of a certain Professor Peck, who left when scabs threatened him. The meeting was behind closed doors. Budenz was demanding that he be considered the logical leader of the strike because of his experience and ability in strategy. He further demanded that every worker be in- structed to follow his leadership on the picket line next day, and that all those who “disrupted” the line by singing and shouting or by not ob-!| serving the legal requirements of | marching six feet apart, be immedi- | ately thrown out of the picket lines. He concluded with the mention of the } fact that the picket line had been a success, although only about 4 score of workers participated out of 300! who were on strike I asked him pointblank what he ‘was going to do to increase the picket line, and what did he mean by men- tioning successful picket lines which had only a score of workers. He was abashed and meekly stammered out that he hopes to increase the line. I demanded concrete plans for ac- complishing this by a general mobil- ization of all strikers and sympathiz- ers for the following morning. He was very contemptuous and finally said: “But after all, comrades, what can we do with a mass picket line We should rather exert pressure on the city authorities and bosses by mobilizing the business heads and | professionals of Hoboken in support of the strike.” Before I could reply, the Muste clique disrupted the meeting and de- manded that I justify my presence. ‘The workers of Hoboken well know these social-fascists and misleaders of the working class and it is very important that the workers every- where take careful note and draw the inevitable conclusions, co.
