By a majority they defeated this amend- ment. This is fob a small matter be- cause it is not suificiént to just go on record for Unempleyitent and So- cial Thsuranet. Mr. Gfeen, of thé A. F. of L,, is also “for” tineinploy- ment insurafice. But thé question as to what kitid 6f ufemployment in-| surance and at whose expense is noi) a matter of Small itportance. It is) of Very decisive impéttancé, On this) point the delégation of the U. C. could not corpromisé and made its position Clear atid fotight for it. Disettss United Front In the discussion on the united front poli¢¥, Bill Gebétt, fraternal delegate of the Goftimunist Party | spoke. He very clearly and definitely placed the question of thé meaning of the united front in struggle and) action. That ary united front other-| wise Will be a united front against the working class. On this basis for unity in struggle, the Workers’ Un- emipidynent and Social Tisurance) Bill and all other demands of the unemployed in the given localities, are placed. He also dealt with the objective of setting up one organization of the! unemployed, unifying numerous or- @atiizations of the unehiployed thru- out the cotintry. His speeth was well received ahd Was a programatic speech on the policy of the united front. Propose Unified Movemerit The Constitutional Committee, Which Was controlled by Socialists and members of thé Workers’ League, came to the Convention with a con- stitution calling for the 6fganisation of a few body of the unemployed to be known as the Workers’ Leagte of Améfica. Against such a constifiition, | which in addition t6 this, provided a. dictatorial power to the Bxecutive Comimittee to the point that it has the right to rémove state and cotnty cominittecs of the organizations, the U. C. delegation ied a fight, also against forming a new organization of the unemployed. It led a fight for | ® federation of the unemployed or- ganizations, Without any exclusion.) This to be a step toward one ofgan-| ization of the unemployed. That this} process to be started from below, | leading to a national thification of all organizations of the themployed. This policy was suppotted by large number of délegates, especially from the lower ranks. The constitu- tional committee report was fejeeted and a new committee was elected | which brought in a draft of 4 consti- tution for a federation of all organ- igations of the unemployed. That} every organization present is to te- fain its organizational independerice, cafry on its own activities, be part of the federation. Ih this way unify all organizations of the unemployed on a city, county, state and national cy scope. This unification to proceed At once, that is, immediately to be accompanied with development of struggle for immediate demands and needs of the masses of uhemployed. The Constitution further specified that all the organizations of the un- employed affiliated with the Federa- tion cannot discriminate against any worker for his political belief, creed, vace, nationality or citizenship, that is, that every organization must ad- mit every worker, regardless of his political belief or organizational af- filiation. This report was adopted by the convention by @ large niajority. Defeat Sectarian Policy The adoption of policy for a united front of action and for a federation was a decisive defeat both for the sectarian policy of the Workers’ League and a decisive defeat for the right wing, headed by the leading so- cialists. Tt was a victory for the pol- iey of the U. C. The deféat of Bor- ders and others was such, that he and others declined to accept any posts) d i J.

Later) the National Executive Committee | elected Sol Larks, expelled, from the) Young Peoples Socialist League, as) ssistant Secretary. On the Executive Committee, 11} thembers in addition to the officers were elected. Among the 11 is the geuretary of the Unemployed Councils, | Lamson. The composition of the N.E.C. is not quite satisfactory, but with two members of the U. C. it will be pos- sible not only, not only fight in the conimittée, but actually carry the pol- icy adopted by the Convention for the united front actions, for unifica- | tion of the organizations of the un- employed. Take Immediate Steps By the decision of the Conyention, the Federation is to immediately take steps toward unity with the Conven- tion of Unemployed called by Muste elements in Columbus, Ohio, on July 4th. Steps are to be taken to reach an agreement with th. National Cominittee of the U. C. to~acd one} organization of the unemploy.:. S. P. Leadets Propose Sabotage This polity must ve carride out. Against this policy, the right wing elements, particularly leading Social- ists, will carry on a fight. The fact that they refused to accept positions oh the Executive Committee and in private Statements declared that they | Will not affiliate with the federation, must be borne in mind. Therefore, the task of the Unemployed Councils and for the revolutionary elements everywhere, is to carry on a struggle for affiliation of all organizations of | the unemployeti in city, coutity and state. Leading by these methods to- wafd national unification. This ques- tion of unity of organizations has erly One meaning and will preserve its forces only if it will be immed- \iately accompanied with development | and Adain Lapin onto thé Couneil by | of strug@lés of the tnemployed, for the Workers Unemployment and So- eial Instirance Bill, for all immediate demands as théy. precent themselves in the localities, drawing into sucha) etruggle Negito workers, young. and| women workers and impoverished | farmers. Representation As to the scope of the representa- | tion of the Convérition, the incom- plete last report of the Credentials Oorntnittee showed that there were 98 delegates from 18 states. They represented 45 organizations, national and local, with a total number of 428 branches not counting the thousands | of U. GC. branches in over 500 cities. | Party Line Proven Correct The National Convention of the Federation of Unemployed Workers’ | Leagues of America once more proves | that the masses of workers, both em- ployed and unemployed, ate accepting and carry in practice, the Communist | Party call for unity in struggle. Here | we have a realization of the statement of Karl Marx, “When an idea perie~ trates the masses, it becomes a pow- er.” The idea of unity in action is penetrating the masses and becomes & power and sweeps aside all those who stand in the way of such unity. We must not draw the conclusion that the National Executive Commit- tee of the Federation of Unemployed Workers’ Leagues are fully for such a policy. There will be hesitations, theré will be plenty of sectarianism and opportunism and the U. C. is in the mifiority. But the Strength of the two members of the U. C. oh the Executive Committee does not lie in their two votes on the Committee, but lies in the fighting demand for unity of the masses of unemployed in all organizations of the unemployed. That is why it will be possible to carty the program of unity. This once more also proves that workers organized in organizations led by reforrnist and reactionary ele- ments are “ages A to sweep aside their | fake leaders when they will see the| correctness of the program and policy | presented by us. The Chicago Con-| vention of the Federation of Unem- ployed Workers’ Leagues of America | is a living proof of the correctness of the policy of the Communist Inter- national atid of the Communist Party for a united front of action of the toiling masses.

Evicted NEW YORK.—Two hundred and) fifty homéless workers were ejected from the only homes they had, at a_ “Hooverville” at thefoot of Mest 9th | ‘Tammany government, using a squad of police and a wrecking crew to carry out the mass éviction. | Dozens of make-shift shacks built | with great labor by the men from driftwood, tin, linoleum, wete torn down by large wrecking trucks of the Sanitation Department. All the small painstaking improvernents made by the homeless men to make their shacks liveable were destroyed at one stroke by the government in its mad effort to hide the sotes of the capital- ist system. Cables wére put around the shacks and dwellings pulled to the ground. Plenty of Vacant Buildings ‘These men are without 4 place to sleep. Yet there are ovér 200,000 vacant apartment and dozens of pub- lie buildings unoceupied. The Un- employed Councils of New York has raised the demand for the opening of all vacant buildings for single un- employed and apartments for fam- ilies, for the building of additional modern houses for workers to take the place of the slums and tenements.

Koseritta was not headed for Washington, bit had joined & large group of workers in a sénd-off t6 the véts. A 16-year-old boy, also with the sed-off party, was forced by the police to procéed toward the capital, and prevented fro returnihg home. * 2 * WASHINGTON, May 18—The veterans’ cohvéntion recessed today to enable delegations ffom the vatious states to call upon théir U. 8. senators and congressmen with the déiiahds of the vets. ‘The conven- tion has moved from the Washington Auditorium to Ft. Hunt where the sessions will be cofitinued. ‘The vote at yesterday's convention is considered an eloquent deinon- stretion for the three-poliit program brought forward by the National Lisison Committee that united the ranks of the ¢onvention. 1,500 JOBLESS ~ CLEVELAND AUTO Vets Killer at Camp General Glassford, who togéthér with General MacArthur last July | was responsible for the removal of the bonus metchers froth Washing- | ton at the point of a gun, was at thé camp last night. It is clear that the govéetninent is using him as 4 means of destroying ihe unity of the delegates at the convention. But the splendid unity of the convéntion | shows that nothing wiil be able to break it. | “Who Is Government?” | Discussing the three-point programt of the Convéntion, Delegate Cac- cios of New York, got 4 warm respotise When he said, “Who is the gov- ernmént? Not Roosevelt and the Congress on Capitol Hill, It is out | duty to get thé support of public opinion and the three-points of the program will enable us to rally the workers and the farmers for sup- | port of thé program for the vets.” It is significant that the thtee-point program was aceéptéd, in view of the fact that it has béen emphasized in the Convention that the veterans would be able to obtain their demands far better if backed up | by the wothérs arid fatmets, it was poitited out. Reeogiiaing the neces- sity of class solidarity, the National Liaison Comimittee, even before thé Gonvention opened, sent a telegram of solidarity to the Towa farmers | who were then in struggle. It waS répeated at the Cohvetition that many farm organizations have endorsed the vetérahs’ déematids, Therefore it | is clear that the Convention has reached a very high point in unity. When Mike Thomas attempted to stampede the convention yes- | terday and lead to ah impasse, the disabled veterah ftom the Alexan- aria Hospital in Virginia, was taised on the showldets of the Conven- tion Committee on the platform aid with tears streaming down his face he efied, “Shatie, shame. How can you think of such a thing a8 | this, that veterans shewld desert their disabled buddies.” Woods, the disrupter, pretefidéd two days before the convention that he stipportéd the three points of the convention. It was clear that it | was merely a maneuver in order to carty out his wrecking work at the convention, but it did not work. Press’ US#wt Dirty Work | The capitalist papers, New York Times, Washington Post; etc. pretend | that there is talk about the use of eggs, ciubs, bricks, ett. These pro- j vocative reports have only one inténtion—to cause dissension Within the | Conyéntion. The Negro question is also béing used by the reactionary press in order to stit up discord. The reactionary group which was at the convention, did not allow any of the Negro delegates to speak with- | Out interruption. In fact, during the spéech of one délegate, there were | cties ftom the bléc of the reactionary group of “Lyfich him,” “Throw him out,” ete. James W. Ford, vice-presidential candidate of the Communist Party in the recent election, and himself a veteran, wes stopped by a detec- tive as Me left the auditorium yesterday. The capitalists press, especially | the New York Times, speaks of “an angty group” sufrounding Ford, and | that hé was “rescued by the police.” This is @ lie. Ford was approached | by a detective who demanded to see His Honorable discharge papers. | When Ford showed him the papers, the dick stated that it did net bear | the signature. Another detective who knew Ford asked what kind of a | discharge it was, and Ford said it was a duplicate and therefore did not Have to have a signattite. He took if oilt of the hands of the detective and put it in his pocket. It is cleat that this was an attempt to arouse antagonism not only against the Negroes but against Ford specifically. The detectives were not succéésftil. On the contraiy, when the Negro veterans learned that he was the well-known Corhmunist, they were cager to speak to Ford. The Roosevelt administration is using vatious methods to cause dis- ruption in the rahks of the veterans. Right now they afe using the open Provocative methods of the Hoover administration. Nevertheless, the vets ate on the alért ahd are wathing the Roosévélt government that it will be responsible for any disruptions or provocations, Parade Postponed The parade of the marchers was postpotied. The Thomas group an- nounced they would parade. However, nothing has been reported yet as to their march. Incomplete registration shows about 2,800 men at the camp, so that the split-off group represents afi insignificant number with @ one-point | program seeking to split the veterans from the rest of the population. At the Convention yesterday the Continéntal Congress, through its Washington Committee, asked the convention that it be allowed to par- ticipate in the vets’ parade. Its Washington representative, claimed | that the congress, which had 6,000 delegates endorséd the three-point | progtam. However, this is untrue, as the convention did not consist of more than 2,000 delegates. Moredver, while the convention fotthally en- dorsed the bonus, it did not support the three-point program of the vets convention, Which demands: (1) payment of the adjusted compensa- tioh certificates (bonus); (2) nod reduction in disability allowances; (3) adequate velief for the unemployed and the farmers. That the “support” of the S.P. leatiers is a pretense is borne out by thejr well-known hostility to the bonus payment and their failure to fight Roogevelt’s disability cuts, Al veterans organizations should adopt resolutions and send them to the National Rank and File Convention, Fort Hunt, Virginia, calling for unity and a fight for the three-point program already, adopted at the Convention. 13 BORO PARK UNEMPLOYED FREED IN COURT FILLED 10 OVERFLOWING NEW YORK.—With workers filling the Shyder and Flatbush Avenue court to overflowing, 13 of 14 unemployed on irial for demanding relief were dismissed yesterday, The ttial of Anna Hall, the only one not released, was United Action Forces Landlord to Pay Rent of Evicted Family Locals 2 and 3 of the Workers Committee on Unemployment, which is carrying on united action with the Downtown Unemployed Councils, foreed the landlord of 44 Rivington Street to give $10 for rent in a new mectin, testing their reap th ig protesting their arrest the ie a h on were rested April 28 and the balance 2 when be to the Boro Parl me Relief Bureau with demands for rent and food.

PLANT ON STRIKE OLEVELAND, Ohio, May 18 Workers of the metal finishing de- pattinent of the Hupmobile Motor Co, at Euclid Ave. and London Road had @ taste of the mitch touted Roosévelt “prosperity” when a wage cut was déclared hére.
