The Trade Union Unity Council, to | which the union is affiliated, has | wired workers of York, Pa., where the same company has another shop urging them to join the struggle. Half the strikers are women. There are four main nationalities, all stick- ing together. A mass open air demonstration will take place Wednesday at 1 p. m., before the shop, FOLTIS CONTEMPT CASE WED. NEW YORK.—The Foltis-Fischer strike, in a majority of the firm's chain of 19 cafeterias, stands solid. The contempt of court hearings will be Wednesday at 4:30 p. m., in the Federal court, twelfth floor of the Woolworth Bulding. It is an apen hearing, all workers should come. Anton Krist was given a suspended lsentence Saturday for distributing |leaflets to Foltis-Fischer patrons ur- | ging solidarity with the strikers. This is meant, like the contempt proceed- ings to set a precedent. | QUEEN ESTHER ACTORS STRIKE NEW YORK.—Three hundred un- employed workers were sent by HIAS (Jewish charity) to act as mob in the Jewish Nationalist “Queen Esther” pageant at Madison Square Garden.

BI VERN SMITH ALBANY, N. ¥., March 7 (By Mail) —I thought when I came here I was to speak in the name of some thou- sands of depositors ruined by bank closures,” said Secretary Greenbaum, of the U, S. Bank Depositors, speak- ing as a delegate from the depositors to the Workers’ Conference on Labor Legislation, “but, overnight, I find that I now represent millions of de- positors, through the general closing down of banks in a ‘bank holiday The eonference adopted for posal Tuesday to “e State Legisla- ture a bill making the State the guarantor of deposits of all worker | and small depositors, and ordering state payment to the depositors of funds already lost by the workers through banks closing down. Other provisions of the bill are for no re~ strictions on withdrawals to the full amount of money deposited, and for criminal prosecution of bankers who cause loss of deposits. Overcome Obstacles No obstacles could stop the pro- ceedings of the Workers’ Conference. Odd Fellows Hall was taken from them Monday night for a prize fight previously arranged, but the delegates trooped up to a smaller place at Ttal- jan Hall, and packed the room be- yond its seating capacity, continu- ing their sessions while waiting for the report back of their committee sent to interview Lieutenant-Goy~ ernor Bray and chiefs of the Legisla- ture on the question of a joint legis- lative session. They did not waste their time. ‘They called in the bills committee, and spent hours going over the bills to pl to the Legislature. They diseussed minutely all points. There wags free discussion. y delegates took the floor. But on the whole there were insignificant changes. their bills to the legislature. employed organizations, emphasized the necessity of this conference be- coming the starting point of a wide campaign for support of the bills to be presented. Delegates Speak “We must leave here able ta say we haye done our best and with a plan to call the masses into move- ment to carry through every single | bill me propose,” said J. Moore, from the opposition group in the Brother- hood of Carpenters. Rob Robbins, of the A. F. of L, | Committee on Unemployment Insur- ance, described the expulsion poliey waged against militants and against unemployed who cannot pay dues. He described the formation of the Printers Association of “Big Six” for the Benefit of the Unemployed, and he wound up, “Our experience in the printers shows that you can not form a united front with the leaders of the A. F. of L. for struggle for the benefit of the members. Our united front must be formed without the leaders and over their heads.” Silver, representing an A. F. of L, painters’ local, gave more evidence along the same line, telling how the painters’ officials postponed the union convention which the constitution provides shall be held every four years. They did it by simply an- nouncing that it would cost $100,000 and would mean a $2 assessment. Discuss United Front This question of the correct form of the united front came in for much discussion, the renegades, Cannon and his followers, a few of whom are delegates, and Weisbord, repre- senting the three members of his party, insisting on united front with the Socialist and A. F. of L. leaders. Both Cannon and Weisbord spoke, At the afternoon session, Monday, held in Odd Fellows Hall, the worker delegates continued to report condi- tions that make this conference nec- essary.

The speech which Gannon read was ex- tremely cautious, and in it he some- what altered his position on the gen- eral strike, no longer making it # thing of the immediate future, but something that is te grow out of the various struggles of the workers. He formulated his united front tactic as one of “inviting the leaders in order to get the rank and file” of the A. F. of L. and Socialist Party. Mapy speakers had previously pointed out that the conference invitation went to all, that the 8S. P. and A. F, of L. chieftains knew all about the con ference, and did not come because they were not on the side of the conference. When Weishord got the floor, and in leaflets he distributed, he con- ducted himself like a proyocateur, suggesting seizure of goods from warehouses, etc. The chier influence of these speak- ers was what they intended, for a short time to distract delegat at- tention from the main business of the conference. is Demand Soviet Recognition Another speaker Bg jot generous applause was Alex Trainor, of the Schenectady Unemployed Council. His father was leader of the first General Electric Company strike. "ge told of General Electric condie tions, only 4,000 (of whom 3,000 aye office workers) employed now by the G. 8. ©., out of 26,000 at work for it in 1928. The thousands of unem- ployed are hungry and miserable, He contrasted this with ii mi conditions of electrical workers he saw in the So- viet Union, to which he went as a delegate of the Friends of the Soviet Union and chairman of the workers’ delegation last May. There the workers have no unemployment, have every safety provision and care af their health, and work under a sy; tem of constantly rising wages. Trainor was cheered to the echo when he called for a mass campaign for recognition of the Soviet Union, the workers’ fatherland . DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 13, 1 for Jobless No Money But— PAINTERS’ 499 FIGHT EXPULSION Will Resist Threat of D. C. To Oust Local NEW YORK.—Painters Local No. 499 at its last meeting took steps to defend itself against attack by of- ficials of the District Council 9, as threatened in a special delivery letter sent to the local by District Council Secretary, Shapiro. “District Council No. 9 will have to take action against you as a Local the letter declares in part. Local 499 recently unanimously rejected the ex- pulsion of its member, Louis Wein- stock, by the District Council, It also undertook leadership in the fight for his re-instatement as well as in be- half of 24 other members of the Brotherhood expelled by the District Council. Through its letter, the District Council threatens to get rid of Local 499, ousting one of the most prog- ressive locals of the organization, and hoping thereby to weaken the strug- gle of the rank and file against the corrupt and treacherous domination of the officialdom, Determined to take any and every action in its own defense, as well as in the intersts of the membership in the Brotherhood, the Local voted $200 for its Defense Committee to take whatever action is necessary. Members of the local are also well aware that the officials who have squandered thousands of dollars from the Union treasury, are not at all un- mindful of the $4000 in the treasury of Local 499. Take Up Case of An Irish Worker N. Y. Meeting Protests Exile of Gralton NEW YORK.—Before a Tom Moo- ney Conference attended by united Irish groups at Esthonian Hall, 27 West 115th Street, yesterday, a fight was begun for the defense of another Irish worker who till a week ago was less known than was his famous compatriot Mooney before mass pro- | test made that case a world-wide issue. The man is James Gralton, from | whose birthplace in Effrinagh, County Leitrim, the Irish Free State govern- ment is attempting to banish him, because he organized neighbors into a * Working Farmers’ Committee Movement to struggle for land. Gralton, who had emigrated 25 years ago to the United States, is an Amer- ican citizen, Chairman Joseph Byrne, of the Trish-American Alliance which spon- sored the meeting, refused the floor to those who proposed a resolution condemning ‘the attempted deporta- tion. “It has nothing to do with Mooney’s case,” he said, “The meet- ing is adjourned.” But the meeting continued, and @ sum was collected to defray the cost of a cable to De Valera protest- ing the deportation. Gralton is a veteran of the Irish in- dependence and workingclass move- ment in both countries. In 1921, he yeturned to Ireland to fight with the Yeish Republican Army against the British black and tans. When that national struggle was betrayed and the Free State government estab- lished, Gralton presided over arbi- tration courts which fought for re- instatement of evicted and exiled, families on land seized from them by “grabbers.” After a jail sentence Gralton re- turned to the U. S. A. Last year the death ef his brother again necessi- tated his return to Ireland so as to help on his father’s small farm. Again he began the same activities which had incurred before the bitter enmity of priests, landowners and the government. The Pearse-Connolly Hall, where he organized social, po- litical and cultural activities, was shot up by thugs during a social and later bombed and burned to the ground. Escaping from the detectives who served the deportation order, Gralton is now being hunted over Ireland. Trade unions, the Workers’ Revolu- tionary Groups, the League Against Imperialism, the Dublin Labor Col- lege and leading Ivish writers are active in the Defense Committee.

NEW YORK—Knute Knutsen, fire-| man on the 8, S, Castor, Norwegian ship, chartered by the Porto Rico! Line, was assaulted by Chief Mate Hansen, in Port au Plata, Haiti, and his jaw broken. Hansen had ordered him midships and struck him from behind. Though his jaw was broken) they made him go below for two days. He did not eat food for six days. When the ship came back to port, some of the crew went to the Nor- wegian Consul, but he wasn't inter- ested. They got a lawyer from the LL.D., but couldn't find Knutsen. The immigration authorities had arrested him and he is now held in Ellis Island, though he hasn't vio- lated any restrictions. A buddy of| his was kept on board until she sailed | last Monday.

For Wide Representation. | At the conference there were rep-/ resentatives from the student body | of the Rand School, the Workers School, the National Students League, | the Young People's Socialist League, ! the Brookwood faculty, the renegade | Trotsky group and two “observers” from the Lovestone school, The pro- posal of the Rand School student} body was to develop united action in @ demonstration against German fas~ cism before the Hitlerite headquarters in New York City. ! The delegates from the Workers School in entering this united front pointed out: The basis of fascism in Germany and the developments of fascism in the United States, ex- | plaining the reasons for the adop- tion of more open forms of capitalist dictatorship to stave off the revolu- | tionary upsurge of the masses. They olearly pointed out that the present, bloody war of Hitler against the working class movement, and par- ticularly against the German Com- munist Party was aimed at crush- ing the revolutionary struggles of the masses. Exposed Social-Democrats They emphasized that the present necessitated the widest mobilization of the young workers | and students in New York in united} actions against German fascism, and | in solidarity with the German pro- | letariat. But at the same time they Stressed the necessity of conducting | a& struggle against all those who) hamper the development of unity,; capitulating and supporting the! forces of reaction. In this connec- tion the delegates emphasized the | role of the social democratic leaders in Germany who by their whole list | of betrayals of the German masses made possible the entrenchment of Fascism in Germany, prevented the development of the united front and | the struggle for the revolutionary | overthrow of capitalism. | The proposals of the Workers | School delegates were accepted to be | finally formulated by the committee and presented to the next conference. | 1..That the conference shall not | Fre limited to students byt shall in-! ¥ volve working class youth organiza- | © tions, reaching out to the factories, the unemployed youth and the stu-/| dents on the campus of the colleges. | 2.
