The draft follows: WORKERS’ RELIEF ORDINANCE | 1. A minimum base rate of $10/ weekly cash relief for every unem-| | ployed couple and $7 for each single | unemployed worker, plus $3 for each dependent, shall be provided by the city. | 2. Work relief shall be permitted | only at prevailing trade union rates, | but shall not be less than 55 cents per hour, payable in cash, for not less| | than 24 hours. Workers suffering ac- |cidents on relief jobs shall be en-| titled to compensation. Appropria- | tions for relief jobs shall be for razing | jslums, erecting modern workers | dwellings, schools, hospitals and pla: grounds in working-class neighbo! | hoods. | 3. Part-time workers whose wages| are less than the basic unemployment | relief rate shall receive an amount | in relief to equalize their income with |that of workers receiving relief. | 4. Unemployed and part-time | workers unable to pay rent shall not entitled to retain their rooms or move | to equally convenient rooms of their |own choice at the expense of the |city. Gas, light and transportation | shall be furnished free to all unem- | ployed. 5. Children of the unemployed shall be furnished with free hot) |1unches, shoes, clothing, books and | dore Blumberg, another teacher dis- | of | missed from the public school system, | higher learning shall be abolished.| will face the Law Committee of the | |fares; fees in city institutions child labor to be absolutely pro-| | hibited, children to be maintained at | cost of city. | | 6.

The city government shal! memorialize | Congress for immediate passage of this bill. Organize Campaign. By means of open hearings, the press, leaflets, pamphlets, mass meet- | ings, etc., the need of this relief ordi- nance must be brought to the masses. All organizations should elect com- | mittees to carry on the work, and to register their unemployed members, and to make a fight for relief, against evictions, in co-operation with the | other organizations. Workers in the |shops should be assisted in fighting | for the shorter work-week with no re- | duction in weekly or monthly pay,| |and to obtain wage increases. The workers must no longer be content to accept the miserable re-| | lief that is given them. They must | fight. The Workers’ Relief Ordinance is our immediate weapon. | This is not merely a petition cam-| paign. In all sections, at the relief bureaus, the masses must be mob- ilized to carry on a struggle for the payment of this budget, not waiting | for the city to enact it into law. |. The struggle must begin. on the broadest united front basis. THE END. SUPPORTERS OF THE DAILY WORKER |farms, for mere pittan Chicago, Til.

But it was not. It was part of the mass protest by workers and had its effect on the Judge. He read the telegram. Later he dismissed the charges. ‘The seven workers were Ruth Casi- mir, Anthony Casta, Nathan Thern- ton, William Hines, Dewey Gear, Robert Barrows and Tom Yonker They were represented in court by Leo Gallagher, International Labor Defense attorney The seven were arrested because they displayed a red fiag on a float during a workers’ demonstration on Memorial Day against Imperialist War. The red flag law is the same under which the conviction of Yetta Strom- berg and four other women was ob- tained, a conviction reversed by the United States Supreme Court.

By JOHN ADAMS. | “Many of the workers here are now ympathetic to the Communist Party end have promised to become active in the revolutionary movement when | they arrive in their home countries. | They now understand things from | their own experience.” | One of the 16 seamen held at Ellis land told me this when I visited him at the Island last week. It was in the nature of a proud report that the revolutionary workers, held there, were carrying on their work. The seamen were arrested and held for deportation several weeks ago after they resisted an attempt to evict them from the Jane Street Y. M. C. A. ‘We were seated on a bench, shared by two Negro workers, one of whom | was being deported to the West In- | dies. The Negro deportee was tel- ling his visitor about the food protest that had been sent to Washington. Guards Everywhere. “The food is rotten and so some fellows started a letter which we sent to Washington. I got ten signers my- self. Today, they sent some big shot | from down there,” he said. | All around the room people were | seated, Guards covered the room from every angle. Wives and children | were saying farewell to their fathers | and husbands. A nervous young Italian was try- ing to identify a deportee. The guard said that no one answered to the name he had given. At the door, the guard had brought one who tallied with the description of the visitor. “It was Ferrara.” “No, no, that is not him”, the young Italian answered. But I looked at that door and raised my fist in Red Front. It was Ferrara, militant anti- fascist fighter. He did not know me but saw my salute. With a smiling face, he returned it. The guard pushed him back into an inner room. The seamen told me that Ferrara had the admiration of all the de- portees in his section. Waiting dur- ing harrassed weeks, expecting to go momentarily to the ship that would deliver him to Mussolini’s torturers and hangmen. But on the outside, the fight was going on. The ILD. had rallied the workers and the government has been forced to grant Ferrara the right of voluntary departure. Between the dungeons of Mussolini stands jus: one thing: the immediate “CHILDREN UND CHILDREN UNDER CAPITALISM. Issued by International Paraphliet series, No. 33. Written by Grace Hutchins. Reviewed by Helen Kay, editor New Pioneer. Sirens What is happening to our children in this crisis of crumbling capital- ism? The answer is given us by Grace Hutchins in a pamphlet issued by the Labor Research Association, in their International Pamphlet series, called Children Under Capi- | talicm. Within its 24 pages Comrade Hutchins tells us simply and factually what is occurring among the masses of workers’ children. She tells us how starvation and malnutrition is taking the children of the working class by the scores. She tells us how the schools are being shut down, and the simple elements of education, “read- ing, writing and ‘rithmetic,” are being taken out of the grasp of workers’ children. Children under Capitalism are slaving in the mills and mines, and 3,000,000 of them are taking their worker and farmer fathers’ places in . They wo’ too, while their big brothers and sisters are “riding the rods”, vainly searching for employ-| ment. Negro children under capitalism, in the black belt of the South or in the segregated sections of the huge cities in the North, are even worse off than their white brothers. For their fathers are the first to be laid off, and the last to be given relief or re- hired. : The pamphlet relates vividly the death by mainutrition of a longshore- man’s baby, Not enough sunshine, not enough milk, and after a tough little struggle to grow, the baby died, “and was buried in a box two feet Jong.” In contrast to the stark misery and death of the workers’ baby due to lack of milk, Comrade Hutchins tells us of Lucy Cotton Thomas, aged 7 years, who “lives at 995 Fifth Avenue in New York City. . . . Lucy has a yearly income of more than $80,000 from a trust fund set up by her grandfather and her mother claimed in a petition to the Surrogate Court that the child néeds over $3,000 a month for living expenses.” She was granted that sum. And in the mean- time there are many more longshore- men’s babies and carpenters’ babies and bricklayers’ babies and machin- ists’ babies, right in New York City, ) who are dying because their fathers have no jobs! They have no jobs R CAPITALISM” because there fs no work. There 1s no work because there is overpro- duction. There is overproduction be- cause Capitalism is a planless society, where workers stuffer in the interests of the capitalist class. In a society where there is a plan worked out by the workers under the leadership of the Communist Party there is no unemployment, as in the | Soviet Union. And babies do not |die of malnutrition! ‘There aré 3,500,000 born yearly, with the lewest | mortality of any country in the | world. And there ts no discrimina- tion against any race or nationality. And there are no Lucy Cotton | Thomases who must have over $100 |a day, while workers’ babies starve to death! And there are plenty of schools for all, with the workers’ government supplying free lunches, Children under Capitalism must fight for their right to live. And side by side with their parents they do just that. “At City Hall in New York a thousand ehildren, many of them Young Pioneers, demonstrated with their parents, carrying etpty milk bottles on which were painted in red: Fill these up.” As a result of this demonstration free school lunches were continued in many of the city schools where lunches had been stopped.” And so throughout capitalist Amer- ica, the fight for relief goes on. The fight for Unemployment Insurance goes on! And the fight against capi- talism, and the horrors it inflicts on workers, and their children, will go on, until there is no longer a capital- ist society, and children will not suf- fer under Capitalicm, but will flourish under a Soviet Society.

The seaman who told me about Ferrara continued with a description of activities in the Island. “Every Sunday they make us go out and listen to & religious service, only they call it a concert. Last Sunday we organized the concert. When we were taken out, we start- ed singing the International and they di¢-"t dare try to stop us. Over half of the crowd joined in or applauded.” As we sat talking and he unfolded his hopes of activity when he arrived in his home country, a group of so- ciety people came by the door by which the deportees entered. “They Look Us Over.” “Every day some of these people come here and look us over as if it were a zoo or something.” A Negro, another deportee, came into the room, A tired looking woman, his wife, rose and waved to attract his attention as he looked over the room. “That fellow was called out by the chief guy here and he slapped him around for no reason at all. He sent a letter to Washington but they just whitewashed everything.” “How are Me men’s asked the sailor. “Some get kind of downhearted,” he answered. “I tell you right now, many talk too much before the LL. D. lawyer sees them and it it much harder for the IL.D. afterwards. Workers should refuse to talk to ar- resting officials.” Ellis Island, in the school text books, is still described as the “gate- way to the new world for those flee- ing European hardships”. Today it is more clearly revealed than ever for what it really is: a wire enciosed cage, where is centered one of the most vicious drives against workers. aie S “All out!” It was the rasping voice of the guard. The smiling faces of seme of the visitors gave way to sad- ness. One little tot, just able to walk, didn’t know that the man was his daddy and he would not see him again. ‘We all marched onto the ferry- boat. The government gave this much free! A young worker in the clothes of the Civilian Conservation Corps (forced labor camps) stood by me. We struck up a conversation. He was to go to the mountains of a state that to him was as terrifying as any wilderness, he had ever heard about. His relative, to go to a land where there were hungry just as the one he was leaving. I asked him what he thought. He looked at me and hesitated, then said: “I think there's going to be another war but not like 1914. It’s going to be like Russia, poor people fighting for something to eat and a place to live. Anyway I think that.” The statue of liberty was be- spirits?” T hind us now and we slipped into the | pier. | NEWS BRIEFS SELL DAWES BANK FURNITURE) CHICAGO, June 12.—The furniture of the Central Repul Bank is| | being sold at a second-hand furniture | | This is the bank of Charles C.| he obtained an} Reconstruc- ion shortly head of that ti which from Cc after he | corporation. | teck y ducted Even thi | the $80,000,000 t will soon vani. the hands | |of the former vice-president of the | | United States and his gang. | INDICT WOLL'S FRIENDS | NEW YORK, June 12.—Indict- | ments in the federal court charging | racketeering have been returned! | against 54 individuals, 24 corpora- | tions, three trade associations and | the racketeer officials at the head of | | the American Federation of Labor| | “fish workers’ union For years | these have been ca ing on extor- | | tion activities against all who would not fall into line with the racketeers.

Ansell charges that Long appeared before the sen- ate committee “in a drunken condi- tion, was vulgar in speech and man- ner and abusive to the chairman and counsel.” It is also charged that Long packed the hearings with his “armed, turbulent and intimidating henchmen,” and that “by fraud and intimidation he has extorted large sums of money from public employes, business people ,etc.” NEW ANTI-LABOR ACT NEW YORK, June 12.-The Tam- many police commissioner, Bolan, is carrying on a drive against alleged criminals on charges of “consorting.” A score or more were arrested over the weekend on that charge. It is not necessary to suspect one of any crime under such a law. The new act permits arrest of anyone found associating with “known criminals.” that is to say with anyone who has a jail record. Under the provisions of that law workers can be arrested simply for associating with some mi- litant fighter in the labor movement who, because of his activity, might have been arrested two or three times. Tammany is using the act at present to drive out some of the small fry of the underworld who com- pete with Tammany’s own favorites. LEAVE FOR FOREST CAMPS NEW ROCHELLE, N.

(By Mail).— For the second time a white jury has disagreed in the case of John Askew, a Negro, whom the authorities are trying to frame up on @ murder charge. skew is charged with the slaying of Joseph F. Drake, white, special officer of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way. The jury disagreed on his innocence although Askew proved through rec- ords that he worked in North Caro- lina continucusly from September 15 to September 21, 1932, The murder took place September 19, 1932, near here, ‘The employment records were pro- duced in evidence and vouched for by J. T. Boddard, white, of North Carolina, who employed Askew at that time. Uncontradicted testimony was given by Florence Knight, of Taylors- ville, who electrified the court. room when she swore that the chief pre- secution witness, James Briggs, Tay- lorsville, promised her from $100 to $500 if she would swear she saw Askew near the railroad tracks on the day of the killing. The jury refused to bring in a ver- dict of not guilty even though all this proof of Askew’s innocence and the effort to frame him for a crime he didn’t commit was further heightened when Briggs’ identification of him as the killer was completely rent to pieces by the defense. Briggs had said the man who shot. Drake—Briggs claimed to be a wit- ness to the slaying—had a black mustache and wore striped overalls Defense witnesses swore Aske} never had a mustache and never wo! ® stripped overalls. Only a growing mass protest froin the workers which the Internationa! Labor Defense is mobilizing around his case can save Askew from fur’ ther torturous months in jail or peti- haps execution after still anothn® trial.

DAY B By ALVIN WALKER OVER 2 CARRIER ROUTES ALREADY ESTABLISHED ‘At the present time about 20 car- | riers are delivering the seme num- ber of routes in the Bronx and Up- per Manhattan, Scattered in other parts ef the city are a few other routes. This is so, since the Bronx and Uppér Manhattan were first chosen as suitable places for the ex- periment. Soon we expect the routes to be city-wide. F CONCENTRATE ON ONE. OR TWO BIG HOUSES! “One of the simplest ways in which our Party units, Workers’ Clubs and individual sympathizers can do their bit in the formation of routes is through the correct utilization of Red Sundays. Instead of the old method of going out Sundays to sell the paper to whoever comes along, the Party units, etc., should concen- trate mainly on a nurbber of houses, having Red Sunday sales only in these houses. Soon enough readers in that locality will have become in- terested enough in the Daily to ne- cessitate the formation of a carrier route. The simplicity of this idea is contained in the experiences of the comrades in Unit 11, Séction 15 of the Communist Party whose locality is in the Claremont Parkway section of the Bronx. They tell the follow- ing story: “—USED TO READ BIBLE— “While selling Daily Workers on a Red Sunday,” says the ofganizer, Y¥Y DAY With the “Daily” ented convincing arguments why she should read the “Daily.” After | ten minutes of talking, this work- ing woman, now grown old, replied | that “All my life I've read noth- | ing but the Bible, but if what you | say is true, I'M take that copy.” | We sold her Dailies three Sundays in a rew, and now she is receiving the paper three times a week from a route carrier who delivers in that neighborhood. This is just one example of the many new readers we have gotten in the carrier routes in our locality. We intend to con- tinue making the formation of car- rier routes the chief item on our weekly order of business.” (ai ae Another simple way that is cap- able of achieving good results is by the delivery of sample copies. Par- ty units and clubs should arrange with the carriers how to work this plan out definitely. The carrier should deliver the sample copies and at the end of the week, on a Red Sunday, the Party and clubs should canvass the workers who received these free papers. One carrier ex- plains how he delivered free sample copies for a week in a house where 40 working-class families lived. At the end of the week when he can- vassed the house, his simple methods of work brought him ten new read- ers of the Daily. Once again this is an illustration of what can be ac- complished very simply, when we arc determined to do something. Arrange door-to-door neighborhood distribution of the Daily Worker; at the same time canvass for new sub- scriptions, .
