~AILY WORKER, NE W YORK, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1933 Page Three United Front in Action Shown in Chicago “Free Mooney Congress” | | Scores of A. F. of L. and Socialist IVET HOSPITAL Party Branches Represented at Meet Despite Leaders’ Sabotage Delegates Returning to Report and Organize Workers for Concrete Actions to Force Liberation of Tom Mooney CHICAGO, May 3—The chief characteristic of the Free Tom Moo- ney Congress which just closed here in Masonic Hall, was the greaj rank and file response from local fnions of the A. F, of L., city central bodies, locals of unaffiliated unions, branches of the Socialist Party and various intermediate societies. As one scans the huge pile of credentials from every section of the land it quiokly becomes evident the national leadership of most organiza- tions that might have been expected to cooperate is conspicuously absent. The high officials of the American Federation of Labor are neither pres- ent nor represented. The Socialist Party of the United States is not there. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America executive board is among the missing. Most of the railroad brotherhood grand lodges are without delegates. Many Unions Represented But scores of A. F. of L. locals sent authorized delegates including paint- ers. carpenters, machinists, boiler- makers, molders, letter carriers, min- ers, metal polishers, patternmakers, paving cutters, ladies garment work- ers, bookbinders, railway carmen, street car men, lithographers, plas- terers, railway clerks, building labor- ers, Cleaners and dyers, auto me- chanics, electrical workers, plumbers, bricklayers, sheetmetal workers, lath- ers, steam shovelmen, tailors, tile set- ters, asbestos workers, roofers, wood | carvers , barbers, seamen and cap} makers. Over a dozen A. F. of L.j city central bodies, with heaviest rep~ resentation from California, creden- tialed delegates. The Paving Cutters international was officially represent- ed by referendum vote of the mem- bership. | Among unaffiliated unions dele- gates came from local or district bodies of locomotive firemen, Amal- gamated Clothing Workers, Indus- trial Workers of the World and the Progressive Miners of America Join Big Demonstration The program included sessions in the Masonic Temple beginning 2 p.m Sunday, April 30, a Monday morning session and on Tuesday until business | was concluded. Monday afternoon, | May Day, was left free to permit the | broom and whisk makers, bakers,! delegates to join the Chicago May Put Program of the Mooney ~ Congress Into Action! HE “Free Mooney Congress” which has just concluded in Chicago with neariy 1,500 accredited rank-and-file delegates from American !'eder- ation of Labor locals, Socialist Party branches and scores of fraternal organizations, is a clear-cut vindication of the united front policy put for- | ward for the Congress. If anything were needed to further expose the miserable hypocricy of the Socialist Party leadership on the Mooney campaign, the Chicago Congress provided it. Here, during the May Day week-end, delegates from scores of A. F. of L. local unions representing numerous trades and crafts, and branches of the Socialist Party, such as from the So. Iilinois coal fields—united in one central point—-FREEDOM FOR TOM MOONEY —thus exposing the pretense of the Socialist Party leadership, which re- fused to participate in the Mooney Congress on the ground that it would not be a “genuine” united front meet. * * * HE workers of the U. S. are answering—through the Mooney Congress— | Tom Moonéy’s vibrant call to “unite all the forces for the freedom of Tom Mooney on the basis of the every-day needs of the workers.” The task now is to swing into action for the building up of local activities through the formation of Mooney Committees which will set | up such a thunderous demand throughout the country that Gov. Rolph, | the banker Fleischhacker. and the other wardens of San Quentin prison will be forced to free Tom Mooney! AMUSEMENTS. “SHAME is a gripping account of STARTING Day demonstration.

Spirit of Congress The May Day evening mass meet- ing in the Chicago Stadium, seating | 25,000, Was a monster demonstration | under the chairmanship of John Wer- lik, business agent of the As. F.ofsL. Metal Polishers. He had presided also at the preliminary Chicago Moo- ney conference which made the prep- | arations for the congress a month ago. The huge parking lot adjoining was equipped with loudspeakers to take care of overflow crowds. The spirit of the congress was summed up in the words of Tom Mooney is- sued from San Quentin this spring: QUSTS SICK MEN AND WOMEN DAILY Roosevelt Economy Bill Orders Brutal Treat- ment of Disabled | WASHINGTON, May 3.—Senator | Robinson, republican of Indiana, | making a gesture of being concerned | with the plight of the tens of thou- | sands of veterans and dependants who | are hit by,the administration econ- | omy Dill, brought out some facts | showing how widespread the misery | of the veterans really is. Reading from the Dayton, Ohio | Herald of April 23, Robinson showed | that veterans who were in’ danger! of death were ousted from the gov- ernment hospital there. Women, en- | titled to government care, for service in the army and navy were also ousted 1 The paper stated that none were given transportation or even prom. ised medical aid in the future. Many | of them were in immediate danger from the exposure caused by this ruthless ousting. Most of the dis- abled vets have to go to homes where | already there is starvation and mis. ery. They become an added burden. | Individuals in Dayton contributed funds so that many of the victims of the “new deal” could get home. Veterans without any place to go and ill, set out for Washington to join the veterans march which will meet there on May 12. Robinson, being a republican and cut off from patronage is interested only in embarrassing the administra- tion and also is trying to stem the rising sentiment of the veterans to march. It will be remembered that last year, senators and congressmen played the role of “friends of the veterans” and the Bloody Thursday took place because some trust was put in such people. NEW YORK —The capitalist press is ballyhooing every little incident of funds being given for veteran relief. This is part of the policy of attempt- ing to create illusions that steps are being taken to aid the veterans and lock the march on Washington. New York City has to, according to law, vote at least $1,000,000 evéry month for veteran relief. This amount is a mere drop in the bucket and thousand of New York veterans are | suffering for lack of adequate relief. Yesterday's press gave this appropri- ation big ,hpadlines to create the impression of additional aid being given. GANGSTERS RAID 1. L. D. BRANCH Meet Called to Build Worker Defense Cops Cut Relief of Families If Youth Do Not Join Camps; Fight Against , Relief Cuts, for Jobless Insurance Unemployed Youth in the Forced Labor Camps Unite With the Unemployed Councils in the Cities; National Committee Organized to Build “Legion of Homeless Youth”’ In New York 20,000 are taken off the Emergency Work and Relief Bureau.: In New Orleans workers stopped a cut on forced labor jobs from two dollars to $1.50 a day. From Toledo come reports of attempts by relief agencies to cut off relief entirely, At the same time young workers are herded into forced labor camps. A young worker writes in a letter printed today, that he is forced to join the camp or the family will be cut off from relief. In Allentown, Pennsylvania children are on strike against wages of 15 cents to two dollars a week. The welfare agencies cut the relief of these fam- ilies whose children are striking in order to drive them back into the slave pens. These are the conditions in liberal Pin- chot’s Pennsylvania. These conditions exist all over the country. But workers all over the country are building their Unemployed Councils. Are joining together. Are building a united front of all workers. This united movement must develop a struggle for unemployment insurance. Raise the demand, against forced labor camps, against the attacks on the workers —for federal unemployment insurance.

I want to assure the rest of the workers that I will not be asleep on the job.

In the past year the workers in this industry have had! their wages cut from 25-35 per cent. The organization of these workers into @ union is the only guarantee of decent living conditions and the prevention of wage cuts. On May 13th, the union will hold a dance at the Community Center, 34th St. and N. Y.

From the opening shots of the sailors in- specting the maggoty meat to the magnificent climax of proletarian solidarity, when the sailors of the Black Sea fleet refuse to fire upon the escaping Potemkin the picture has the same mighty flow and the same interaction of masses with stupen- dous events. Potemkin is an historical docu- ment which possesses three qualities of interest. First, it gives an accu- rate and thrilling picture of the class struggle in Russia before the October Revolution. Secondly, it shows the Russian proletariat in action, giving a revolutionary interpretation of steps illustrates all of these points. There are proletarians as a class being ruthlessly murdered by the troops of the czarist state. There are the in- dividual facets of the class revealed one by one: workers, wives and chil- dren, schoolboys. There are thé sol- diers, sons of workers and peasants, moving as a mechanical mass, be- cause of lack of class-consciousness, or even understanding. Thus, in a few minutes, most phases of class warfare are revealed: militaristic brutality, proletarian courage, prole- tarian suffering, all combined in a single scene which is, perhaps the greatest in the history of the cinema.

It is not surprising that this firm was one of the staunchest Associated supporters in its struggle against our union.
