ROOSEVELT AID Reveals S. P. Leaders As Foes of Jailed Negro Boys NEW YORK.—The charac- ter of the Socialist Party’s sup- port of the mass fight for the sine innscent Scottsboro boys | is indicated by a letter just received | by the New York district of, the In- ternational Labor Defense (fascimile | to left). | The letter, written by Mary W. Hil- j lyer of the League for Industrial De- | mocracy, @ socialist organization ac- | tive among college students, is ad- | dressed to John J. Balla, New York | secretary of the LL.D. and informs | him of her inability to speak as sched- | uled at a Scottsboro protést meeting | at the Ella May Branch of the I.| L. DB. In her letter Miss Hillyer says: “I regret very much that it is impose“ le for me to fulfill this en- | gagenent. IL am a member of the | Socialist Party, as you know. I ap- | peared last night before the Executive Committee (apparently | summoned—Editor’s note) and | learned to my deep regret that the | interpretation of a recent ruling | does not permit any member of the | | Socialist Party to speak at a mect- ing under the auspices of the I. L. D. The I. L. D. is considered by the interpretation of the Executive Committee as a Communist organi- zation.” The action of the Socialist Execu- tive show once again the organized | pressure against rank and file mein- bers of the S. P., more and more of whom are coming forwatd actively to support the mass fight to free the Scottsboro boys. It gives the lie to! the hypocritical pretense of the S. P. | leadership that it is interested in freeing the innocent Negro boys. } HOARDED FIVE MILLION IN GOLD NEW YORK.—Bernard M. Baruch, millionaire stock gambler, is reported | by the préss as closely identified with the administration of Roosévelt’s pro- posed “national itidustry recovery bill.” Tt will be reealled that Baruch, a leading member of the Democratic Party, was the largest contributor to) Roosevelt's election campaign, giving $45,000. In 1928, he contributed $50,000 to Smith’s campaign. Baruch has a pérsonal property asséssment of $100,000 in New York City. In addition he is a stockholder in} the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which has laid off thousands Previously he was chairman of the War Industries Board. And Baruch was vice chairman of the National) Transportation Committee along with Alfred Smith, Alexander Legge and —until his death, Calvin Coolidge. These capitalists recently published their findings in a book Among their recommendations, made with the outlook of préserving profits and di- vidends on the railroads, ships, trucks and other means of transportation, aré those calling *for “efficiency” and further “economy” in operation. In other words, a subtle call for layoffs, Another sidelight on Baruch is thrown from Walter Winchell's col- umn which appeared in the New York Mirror, April 24, 1933. “They would have you believe,” wrote Win- chell. that the reason why you never hear ‘Mr. B.’ mentioned in connéc- tion with the administration any more is that he was taught by some- one close to the President with ship- ping five million in. gold to London for safety.” Communication with one of the liberal magazines, revealed the fact that. “Mr. B.” was none other than Bernard Baruch and that the amount of gs he was reported to have shipped to London was not five million, but a sum even larger.

The Convention yoted to support all vetéfans in the fight for relief, against evictions, foreclosurés, ete., and to cooperate with other organi- vations that are carrying on similar activities. The convention adopted a resolu- tion of thanks to Emanuel] Levin and Harold Hickerson for the éxcellent work that they had done in prepara- tion for the convention. Hickersori and Levin were both at the coiven- tion and Hickerson had an oppor- tunity to speak Thee (By Our Corrésporident) WASHINGTON, May 21.—The role of disrupters at the vets’ convention which has just adjourned here is seen in the activity of Thomias, who has sought to cause dissesion in the ranks of the ex-servicemen from the beginning. ‘Thomas cleaily has completely sold out. Not ohly has he made a very sympathetic report regatding his in- terview with the President and thanked the president for his “kind hospitality’ towards the veterans during their stay in Washington, what is more, he has announced that he will go te the réforestation camps. The government is carrying on an energetic campaign to énlist all the men into the camp. Some of these hungry men no doubt will yield to the offer of getting food for a few weeks. But having been used to mi- litary camps, they undoubtedly will Jeave the convention as soon as they have fed up a little bit and can find (heir way about. Owing to the press- uve, the government is now taking eps that in each camp there shall be elected 10 group leaders, théir salaries to be raised to $45 a month with assistants at $36 a month. The government hopes in this way to en- tice not ony the veterans but also the young workers. That this will not succeed, previous experiences have showh. To Arlington Cemetery Yesterday a march took place to Arlington Cemetery to visit the graves of Hushka and Carlson who were killed last year during the bonus mareh, and to the grave of the Un- known Soldier. When they passed the spot where Hushka and Carlson were killed, the parade stopped for two minutes in silent demonstration. Yesterday, in order to further en- rage the men and. provoke them into action, the government suddenly an- nounced that a quarantine would be established in the camp. A number of Men were sick and the authorities thought they would have an opportu- nity to use néw tactics in order to dis- gust the men. However, steps were taken by the Convention Committee and the quarantine did not go through. At the convention a demand was made for the reading of a statement by Thomas which was in agreement with the Convention Committee be- fore the convention began. Owing to some confusion, only part of the statement was read, but it was clear that Thomas had agreed to the three- point program. This provocateur and stool pigeon no doubt signed this agreement with his tongue in his cheek, for the moment he got into the convention he fought for the one-point program, As a result of this situation, the convention demanded. that those who do not accept the three-point program had no business within the convention. Thomas left the convention with about 60 men. Govt. Closes Registration Tents. Saturday the government closed down the registration tents at 6th and Penniylvania and all arriving dele-| strate National Youth Day, May gations were forced to hike 14 miles out to the camp. Just before closing the tents, the contingent of the near- jy 200 arrived from New York afd were unable to go to the camp, Interesting sidelights on the con- vention include the fact that the del- egation from Phillipsburg, N. J., got funds from the mayor to pay trans- portation. The delegation from the Veterans’ Hospital at; Alexandria, La., procured their funds from the city. One of the delegates from Louisiana in the course of the convention said, “You talk about the reds.

The bur- den of waste to which Eastrhan and the railroad executives refer is rail+ toad wages. They propose to remove this burden in tWo ways: first, by re- ducing the number of workers em- ployed on the roads by from 100,000 | to. 300,000;. second, by. cutting the basic rates of pay for the half mil- lion men they expect to leave on the roads. If put through a “saving” of from to to four hundred million is hoped for. For whom? Eastman Says “for the public’. Loree, Presi- dent of the Delaware and Hudson Says “for the railroad stockholders, since the steam United States are the property of approximately 878,056 sharéholders.”” Suppose we have a look at these of millionaires? In 1929 Swift & Co., owned by the | Swift family, packinghouse million- aires, wanted to unload a little rail- lafs. This railroad with only $500.- | outstanding owed matured interest | of over 1 million dollars. The Swifts | sold this railroad to the Missouri | Pacific for $4,300,000. The stock was worth (?) $100 a share. It. was] bought for $920 a share. Bight ninths | of this purchase on which Missouri | Pacific charged interest since 1929 | represented pure water. road owners propose to lay off al quarter of a million railroad work- | ers without one cent of compensation “st POLICE DERY LAW shareholders. Who Owns the Railroads? Loree himself reportéd that the Delawaré anti Hudson bought 495,000 shares of the stoek of one railroad during the past year. This railroad is the N. Y. Central and the holdiigs of the D. & H. represent 10 percent of the entire stock of this road. An- other 70,000 shares of N. Y. Central stock are owned by George F. Baker, Jr., of the powerful First National | Bank of New York. This bank has other représefitatives Who hold 105,- 000 shares. Edwari Harkness, a Standard Oil millionaire, owns 52,000 shares; the Chase Bank owns at least 37,000 shares; the Bankers Trust Co., 46,000 shares and so on down the line. Other Wall Street banking houses hold blocks of 20,000 shares or more. Where does the public come in? What is true of the N. Y. Central is true of evéry other road. The Lackawanna is owned by the same Bakers and Vanderbilts who own the | Central. The Brie is owned by the House of Morgan, (whose répresénita- tives hold at least 112,000 shares), the First National Bank (Baker in- terests) and the New York Trust Co. (215,000 shares). Eastman’s “public” is the human interest stuff behind which the cap- tains of finance stage their show. This “public” with its two or three shares apiece cannot be fed on the $2.50 a year dividends of the Chesa- peake and Ohio or the 50 cénts a year now being paid by the Pennsyl- vania. Neither can they afford to gamble with their tiny holdings as can the big fry. No, it is not the welfare of the public, but the welfare of the railroad millionaires which is to be guaranteed by cutting the jobs and wages of railroad labor. The Money is There But Not for Us Do the railroad workers have to be squeezed dry to keep the railroads of the county running, so that grain can leave the farms, coal leave the mines and food, clothing and ma- terials reach the cities and the people of the country? This is the im) the railroad owners are trying to create. It is a false impres- sion, deliberately. put out in the face of facts and figures to the contrary. A statement issued by the Weekly Survey of Standard Railroad Se- eurities April 13, 1983, shows that 19 railroads, which did over one- third of the railroad business of the country in 1932, covered their fixed charges ‘interest, taxes, étc.), one and a half times and AND THEN | SHOWED A SURPLUS OF 499 mil- lion.

However, the Union is providing both legal means to fight these cases and is organizing mass picket lines at every Foltis-Fischer cafeteria in the city beginning today. Workers are urged, in the face of this new com- bined drive of the bosses, courts, and police, to help the Foltis Fischer strikers and the Food Workers In- dustrial Union to help win the strike.
