Tired Negro Worker ‘alls Into WaterWhile ading BargeDrowns By a Negro Worker Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y.—Roosevelt’s New Deal has brought another worker to bis death. The workers have been iriven so by the boss’s speed-up plan hntil this worker most gave out. So whilé trying to go from the barge to the ship from where he was em- ployed, unloading soda ash, he went dverboard between the ship and barge. When the officer arrived, soma of the other Negro workers vere afraid to say very much about ‘nis poor drowned worker to the boss- *s and officers. No one tried to res- tue this Negro worker. Not one life javer was tossed into the water to try to save him. The job has not been made safe by the slave-driving bosses. Can this be stopped? Yes.

HARLAN, Ky., June 20—Life term eonvictions of three more of the Boutheastern Kentucky miners con- victed for “murder conspiracy” in connection with the battles between striking miners and deputies at Evarts in 1931, have lately been af- firmed by the state court of appeals.

Lamont’s outspoken demand before the Senate Finance Commit- tee during the hearings on the Re- covery Act for the continuation of his ruthless open-shop policies, it ap- pears clear that. U. S. Steel fears any form of union organization even of the A. F. of L. officials, who are so willing to serve them. They are attempting to head off trade unions in the mills through an employee Tepresentation company union plan. The Company Pian. ‘Phe Employee Representation Plan, which the steel company pro- poses, will provide for a committee to consist of one representative for every 100 woykers in small plants and for every 300 in larz2 plants. The Committee is to consis: of no less than 5 and no more than 30 workers. Representatives are to be elected from departments for a term of one year and may be re-elected. The workers are given the right to recall the representative, but only upon the approval of the Committee on Rules. The right of the workers to recall their elected representative if he fails to carry out their wishes will depend on a ruling by a special boss-controlled committee, The representatives of this Com- mittee can qualify as candidates for election only if they have been on the company’s payroll for a period of one year before nomination, if they are 21 years and over, and if they are American citizens. Since a very large number of workers in the steel” plants. are foreign-born, this qualification is designed to play native-born against foreign-born workers and disrupt the unity of the workers. The company has inserted a, clause that no company officials or pefsons having the right to hire or discHarge“shall be eligible to vote or to be elected representatives, nev- ertheless, the workers know, from experience, that this clause will be ignored. Since the company is dic- tating the plan, it may also decide any violations of its own plan. Method of Eleciing Representatives A complicated system of elections Jury Votes Guilty; Judge Excuses Thug Who Killed Bollero NEWARK.—Although he had been found guilty by a jury, excuses were found for Rocco Capo, who mur- dered Natale Ballero, a member of the Needle Trades Industrial Union, by trial judge Brennan, who pro- nounced no death sentence. In giy- ing a minimum sentence of 12 years, he said, “Capo apparently was ter- rorized by a Communist group which is a challenge to the entire social or- der here.” TODAR ANTO? BAIL.

The Committee on Rules makes up and counts the ballots. Here again, a boss-controlled com- mittee will determine the represen- tatives to go on the ballot. Growing sentiment among the workers for organization and for struggle for wage increases in face of rising prices is responsible for the Steel Company’s new policy. The Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union is exposing the dangers in the company union plan and raising very sharply the question of organizing real rank and file committees to set- tle grievances. The union is also calling upon the workers to demand the right to join unions of their own choice.

Arrest Detroit Jobless DETROIT, Mich.—Earl Reno, sec- retary of the Unemployed Councils of Detroit, was arrested early Saturday afternoon when he attempted, to- gether with several unemployed workers, to enter the ballroom of the Hotel Statler where Harry Hopkins, federal relief administrator, was about to address the National Conference of Social Workers. Reno and the other workers had come to’ present the de- mands of the unemployed for relief and unemployment insuranee and to expose the starvation program in- corporated in the Roosevelt Indus- trial Recovery Bill. Evades Responsibility. While admitting that the federal governniént was providing only $250,- 000,000 for immediate reliéf, Hopkins talked about it as if it was going to wipe out starvation. Throughout his speech, he very clearlly shifted the burden of providing for the un- employed from the federal govern- ment to state and municipal agencies. The National Conference on social Hopkins Evades Federal Responsibility for Relief Leader Entering Meet Addressed by Roosevelt’s Relief Head work closed its sessions Saturday. Despite the fact that it was controlled by salesmen of Roosevelt's New Deal, strong left-wing sentiment mani- fested itself among the rank and file of social workers. Whenever discus- sion was permitted, this sentiment let itself be heard. Expose Roosevelt. Two of the sessions were also ad- dressed by representatives of militant organizations. On Sunday, June 11, A. B. Magil, editor of the “Michigan Worker”, speaking before the Con- ference of Jewish Social Workers in the name of the John Reed Club of Detroit, exposed the Roosevelt starv- ation program and evoked stermy applause when he called on the so- cial workers to join with the millions of toilers in the fight for bread and freedom. On June 12 Frank Emmer- son, of the Associated Youth Move- ment, stirred the National Confer- ence with an exposure of the condi- tions among the unemployed and homeless youth. vention Op y A. B.

He also scored the press for attempts to characterize the student actions against war as merely “pacifist.” He said the demonstrations were mili- tant protests against imperialist war. Donald Henderson of the National Student League, and recently dis- missed from the Columbia University teaching staff, denounced the policies of the administration and ‘thé’ Board of Higher Education, and pointed out the method the students should| utilize in combating these authorities to gain their rights.

At the hearing one of the attor- neys for the N. Y.

Only a handful of sympathizers were in court, explaining why the bosses’ judge could so flagrantly deny workers even elementary rights. The N. Y. District International Labor Defense declared today that by staying away from court, the workers make it possible for capilal- ist courts to railroad workers. Only mass pressure can force the release of class war prisoners. Workers are urged to attend the trial next Thurs- day, June 29, 9 a.m., in large num- Seamen Punch Nose of Ex-Mission Head for Low Wage Offer NEW YORK.— “Captain” Page, ousted head of the Jane St. Mission, is now operating a shipping office at 19 Front Street, Yesterday, Page entered the Brit- ish consulate and told the men there that they could get jobs by coming with him. At his office he told them that he controlled the jobs on the S.S. Maraval, which, is being taken to Italy to be scrapped (for her iren in munitions production—Ed.) He took the names of the men, promising $60 a month wages and $62.50 if the trip to Genoa took more than a month. The ship is unfit for Sea passage and is the type that were called “coffin-ships” in the World War. These ships were sent to sea for the insurance and caused the death of thousands of seamen. At this office, Page said that the wages would he eight pounds, 10 shillings.

L. G. W. conduct a united strike with the Needle Trades Industrial Union for week work and improved conditions and for steps to establish one union in the industry. This was the answer of Dubinsky to the refer- endum of the membership which was actually larger in the number of signatures than the number present at the meetings when the question ‘was voted on. 500 I.L.G.W.U. Members. Five hundred members of the In- ternational accompanied the Action Committee to the union headquar- ters of the I.L.G.W., marching down from the garment center. On ar- riving at the union office the work-| ers found that Dubinsky was out and | the offices were locked. Dubinsky had been notified of the Committee's intended visit. The workers then demonstrated outside the headquar- ters at an open-air meeting. Dubin- sky returned later and was inter- viewed by the Action Committee. His bureaucratic reply to the de- mands of nearly 3,000 cloakmakers, flaunting the constitutional rights of the members, will only intensify the fight of the rank and file to achieve a united struggle for better condi- tions and one union in the industry.

The con- vention sessions will start Saturday, June 24. at 10 a.m. in Finnish Hall, 5969 14th St., and continue all day Saturday and Sunday In an effort to halt sentiment for militant union organization, Martel announced that the new A. F. of L. “union” would be an industrial union. This implies the abandonment of the oe A. F. of L. craft union po- liey. He also announced that President Bill Green was sending three A. F. of L. organizers to Detroit to bring the workers into line. The new union would be for em- ployed workers only, he said, with an initiation fee of $2 and dues of $1 a month. Several times in his speech Martel attacked the militant Auto Workers Union, threatening militant workers present who might try to ask em- barrassing questions. At the door and stationed throughout the hall were A. F. of L. strong-arm men ready to mop up. “The Communists,” said Martel, “are not going to be ellowed to get into this union, and as fast as we find them in, we'll bounce them out.” No Quarrel With Socialists When a worker in the audience, who said he was not a Communist, protested against this and against the expulsion of ten workers from Machinists Local 82, Martel shut him up. Asked by another worker, “What about the Socialist Party?” Martel replied: “We have no quarrel with the So- | cialist Party.” “I wish we had more men in the trade union movement today,” he continued. “Men like we used to have who. were leaders of the Socialist Party.” This reveals how close is the al- liance between the Martel machine and the local Socialist Party leaders who profess to be critical of the A. F. of L. bureaucrats and adopt all kinds of radical poses in order to fool the masses. -Incidentally, the leaflets announcing this meeting were distributed in the Socialist Party headquarters.
