THE WEATHER—Today, mostly cloudy and prob- ably showers; moderate northeast winds, Vol. X, No. 179 << Entered as second-class New York, N. ¥., unde: stter at the Pest Office at the Act of March 8, 1878, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, JULY, 27, 1933 CITY EDITION Price 3 Cents The Party Leads = propaganda machines of the White House are roaring. The Roose- neh velt government issues torrents of ballyhoo more cunningly calculated | to blind the workers than anything since the frenzied jingoism of 1917. - The National Industrial Recovery (Slavery) Act is Roosevelt’s car- | dinal effort to increase the profits of Big Business. In defense of it there has formed a reactionary united front, stretching from the finance over- lords of Wall Street, through the labor bureaucrats of the A. I. of L., down to Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialist party, who hails the Slavery Act as a step towards Socialism. ‘The Communist Party alone fights against wage cuts, for higher wages to meet the fast-rising living costs, against speed-up in the factories. The Communist Party alone stands at the head of the army of 17 million starving jobless workers, leading the fight for Federal Unemploy- ment Insurance and for immediate relief. It is thus obvious that to fight for the interests of the working class is-to fight for the strengthening and building of the Party of the working class, the Communist Party. The Party. grows and gains its basic strength 4m the very heat of the struggle against the attacks of the capitalist class. The defence ot the everyday vital needs of the workers is the very life-breath of the Communist Party. * * * UT, as Marx and Engels proclaim in the immortal Communist Manifesto, “in fighting for the immediate, present needs of the working class, the Communist Party fights for the future of the working class.” In leading the working class against the immediate onslaughts of the Roosevelt government, the Communist Party fights for the over- throw of capitalism, for the revolutionary way out of the crisis. In the factories, on the railroads, on the docks and wharves, in the mines, and on the farms, the Party must recruit its fighters. The recruiting of workers from the basic industries has been neg- lected. This must be immediately remedied. Everywhere, the workers, especially from the large factories, must be drawn into the Party. In every struggle for the defense of the interests of the workers, the Commun’'st Party must be brought forward as the leader of the working ase, as the Party of the working class. Build the Communist Party, the Party of the pugieaad class! The ‘Tlie They Understand AS the legislative office boys of the capitalist class are meeting at Albany to decide ways and means of evading the. payment of relief to the jobless workers of New York, the New York World-Telegram lets slip a very instructive admission. It writes. ©. “To political conservatives in the relief bureaus the most alarming development bas been the success of the Communist demonstrations. Many of the demonstrations have resulted in the Home Relief Bureaus “speeding up their work.” : <. Yes, that is true. And it is a truth that the tricky leaders of the Socialist Party, with their horror of “unruly” street demonstrations, with their “apeals” to the capitalist governnients, strive to hide. en * * .T was this “speeding up of work”? It is nothing more than an ad- “Ymission that the activities of the Communist Party and the Unem- ployed Councils wrung more food payments, more rent payments, more Telief from the capitalist Telief bureaus. The smooth-spoken Socialist leaders do not like the street demonstrations. ‘The Socialist leaders urge the workers to s¢nd “appeals” to Governor Lehman, the millionaire Wall Street banker, to test his “sincerity.” ‘The workers know the “sincerity” of Lehman—it means loyalty to the capitalist class—his class. = For such “arguments” the capitalist rulers do not give a rap. They know that such tactics only make it possible to stall, to confuse and trick the workers. But the organized mass struggles of the workers—this is the only language that the ruling class masters understand. * “disorder” ot . * . FODAY, the capitalist Tammany City government dooms hundreds of thousands of workers families, totalling over a million men, women, end children, to starvation by the most drastic reduction in relief. Bey we had organized hundreds of thousands of the city’s workers into-Block Committees, if we had organized unceasing demonstrations before the Relief Bureaus, if every working class street )-2 ‘ie militant Biotk Committee, would the city adrtinistration have @ashed relief, in- soleiitly sentencing the workers and their children to etarvation? They would not have dared! “= And it is only the most intense revival of these mass struggles, ‘ise most. energetic spreading of these street demonstrations to every working neighborhood that can stop the present starvation policy of the arrogant capitalist city rulers. Every working class strect must have its organized group fighting for immediate relief and against evictions. <mp@ihe workers organized in mass struggle—the workers in the streets— Gfganized in determined demand for food and shelter—this is what the capitalist city government fears. ~*“And it is this language of mass struggle alone which they will heed. Organize in the neighborhoods! » Build the Block Committees! “~Organize Unemployed Councils! vnsuring the Six Page ‘Daily’ E only way in which the regular, uninterrupted appearance of the six- mpage “Daily” can be assured after August 14 is by the creation of a solid financial base for our paper. ~ Our readers can guarantee the Daily Workers’ steady appearance in:many ways. The first and most fruitful way is to secure new subs, toincrease circulation wherever and whenever the opportunity offers itself, It should be very clear that, mnless a greater circulation is gained, the six-page “Dally” will encounter great difficulties. Not insurmountable hes, but difficulties that undoubtedly will hinder the paper in making the forward strides among the great masses of this country, which is the reason for the inauguration of the six-page Daily Worker. [ANCIAL assistance will be urgently needed. Our readers must have the needs of the “Daily” constantly in mind, not only in getting subs, but in’ raising funds at affairs, at small house-parties of the kind that ‘were used so extensively to ralse funds during the last financial campaign. . New York workers particularly will have a chance to prove their de- votion to the “Daily” on Sunday, July 30. On this day, thousands of “workers are expected to attend the Drily Worker picnic at Pleasant Bay Park. Preparations are being made to assure its success as a great Red social event. Only the workers of New York, however, can assure its financial success. Other cities might follow the example of the New York friends of the.’ “Daily, and arrange similar affairs, 5 or in any event, greater and more whole-hearted effort on behalf of ~ the’ “Daily” is the need of the hour. In this way only can workers prove Aveir desire to ald in the building up of a bigger, more powerful organizer ef'the working class. reba MINERS STR ‘9,000 PENNSYLVANIA COAL IKE AGAINST COMPANY UNION SLAVERY 8,000 at H.

HORTON ORDERS SCOTTSBORO NINE TO STAND TRIAL I. L. D. Urges Protests Throughout Country ATHENS, Ala., July 26. — Judge James E. Horton yesterday set a new trial for Haywood Patterson and.the other innocent Negro boys for the October term of his court. ae . NEW YORK, July 26.—‘The de- cision and announcement of Judge Horton setting the date for new lynch-trials of the Scottsboro boys is proof that in making the concession to mass pressure of granting Hay- wood Patterson a new trial, Horton, together with Attorney-General Tho- mas E, Knight and ex-senator Tom Heflin, maneuvered to take the best advantage of even this concession to railroad the Scottsboro boys to the electric chair,” William L. Patterson, national secretary of the Interna- tional Labor Defense, said today. “This setting of trials for the Scottsboro boys, when he has ad- mitted that they are innocent, proves Horton's determination to legally lynch them. It was in his power to free them. “Only a tremendous increase in the mass pressure which has suffered a lull under these illusions, can save the boys.” Nazis Bribe Saar Men for Coming Plebiscite PARIS, July 26—In preparation for the plebiscite 18 months hence when the residents of the Saar basin will vote whether the Saar is to go to France or to Germany, the Hit- ler government is offering round trip tickets from the Saar to Berlin at 10 marks (about $2.25) for a 600- mile trip. Charges are also made that the price is cut to.5 marks if those who accept the ticket promise to vote a return to German rule. The Saar Basin is an immensely valuable coal district, which France has occupied since the end of the world war, under the terms of the Versailles Treaty. Gov. Lehman’s Message Rejects State Relief ALBANY, N. Y., “Y,, July 26.—In his? message to the special session of the Legislature which convened today at 2 o'clock, Governor Lehman let it be known that the state government will take no responsibility for imme- diate aid to the jobless in this crucial period. While Mayor O’Brien and New York city officials refused to appropriate funds and claimed that the special session will take action to aid the jobless, now Lehman refers the whole matter back to the city. The advance committee to ar- range for a mass delegation of the Unemployed Councils and affiliated bodies was refused a hearing by Governor. Lehman. yesterday. They were referred to the speaker of the aesembly and president of the senate. They, in turn, shirked responsibility and sent them back to the Governor. It is clear from this action and the speech of Lehman that no immediate relief will be granted unless a mass protest is developed throughout the | state. Telegrams should be sent- by’ ye Industrial Recovery Act. Three thousand miners of the H. C. Frick Coal Co. and of the Colonial number three and four at Grindstone struck on Monday for recognition of the United Mine Workers. The district officials of the UMWA opposed the strike but the rank and file miners disregarded them. Strikes have also been called at the Vesta number six and five mines. Governor Pinchot ordered Troop A of the Pennsylvania State Police to the’ scene of the strike, after 2,000 coal miners clashed with dep- uties. Although the deputies at- tacked with tear gas, the miners resisted and 12 deputies and scabs received injuries, A strike movement which threat- ens to sweep large sections of the mining fields in this territory has broken out. National Miners’ Union organizers are in the strike area bringing the miners’ code to the workers and calling for the election of delegates to the united front conference on August 12 and 13. Eight hundred coal miners in the Trenton and Newfield mines are on strike for a 10 per cent increase in wages and $2 a room reduction in rent. The strikes are being led by the rank and file opposition in the U.M.W.A. 900 miners of the Logan Coal Co,, Beayerdale and Lin- coln Coal Co, in central Pennsyl- vania are also on strike demand- ing a miners’ checkweighman.

Workers defied this ruling and marched to the as- sembly point in groups, carrying banners bearing demands for res- cinding the 10 to 20 per cent relief cut, for bigger grocery orders, for re- cognition of the grievance committee at the local relief stations and for the adoption of the Worker’s Relief Ordinance proposed by the Federa- tion, and for endorsement by the city of unemployment and social in- surance at the expense of the govern- ment. A delegation from working class or- ganizations will call upon Mayor Kelley’ today to protest against the police brutality against the teachers and the unemployed and to demand the release of the arrested workers and a permit for a demonstration next week.

The Governor said “that the State of New York has done its share to to assist the city in carrying out the responsibility which primarily rests upon it to care for its ey, unem- ployed.” Relief Hauke What the state and city together with the federal government have done for the unemployed in New York was shown by Lehman’s figures. “The. combined approprietions state and nation spent in New York City for the period from January 1 to May 31, 1933,” said Lehman, “was $17,084,326, : During the same period, according to Lehman, “the city has provided a net total in home and work relief of $13,611,797, according to the re- cords of the temporary emergency relief administration.” In other words, New York City with half of the state population and an estimated number of a million and .a half unemployed received a total of $30,696,123 from the national, state and city governments. Consider- fit the whole amount was distributed, it reaches to approximately $20 for a period of 5 months for each unem-} ployed worker and his family. | The special session it is expected will last all through the summer at an expense of about $75,000 a week which is the estimate made by the Governor recently. The Unemployed Councils commit- tee is now in Albany preparing for a large workers’ delegation which will present the demands of the workers’ to the State Legislature. A State Unemployment Insurance Act to be presented to the special session will demand that “Every un- employed worker shall be entitled to benefits equal to the average full wage of the worker in the particular inrustry and locality, but in no case less than $10 per week.” It also makes provisions for raising funds by “taxing incomes over $5,000 a year, reduction of government Salaries not to exceed $3,500 a year” and a num- measures, of the] ing the number-9¢ iney tian her- of other ‘Lehman Retains MASS. NIGHT WORK LAW IS IN EFFECT Governor ” Signs Law on Plea of Mill Owners, AF.L. Officials FALL RIVER, Mass., July 26—As the state legislature closed in Bos- ton yesterday, Governor Ely took the last step in a campaign initiated by him at the behest of mill owners, signing the bill for suspension of the state law under which women work- ers were not permitted to be em- ployed in mills at night after 6 p. m. ‘Thus a stroke of the governor’s pen is on the way to wiping out one piece of labor legislation won by the work- ers in this state after many years of struggle. One of the chief arguments of the mill owners was that suspension of the no-night work for women law ywould provide greater employment. Scarcely was the bill signed, how- ever, when both mill officials and “labor leaders” in this important tex- tile center admitted that but “a few more would be employed after the new regime has been in effect for some time.” Present Sales Tax Rejects Doubling Levy With Eye On Election ALBANY, July 26-—With his eye on the coming elections, Governor Lehman of New York refused to increase the state sales tax from one to two per cent as requested by his fellow members of Tammany Hall, Mayor O’Brien and the city admin- istration. Instead, he urged that the City be granted power to levy a Sales Tax of its own if it wishes. In this way, Governor Lehman hopes to rob the State Republican Party of arguments in the coming election. To Control Liquor Graft. ‘The present sftTial session of the) Legislature has been called a “re- lief session” by the Democratic gov- ernment of New York City. Gov-/ ernor Lehman, however, will uitlize | it to increase Tammany’s grip on| the fat re--nues of the Liquor Con-/ trol Board, and to increase the pro- | fits of New York manufacturers by | recommending state laws in com pliance with the National Recovery (Slavery) Act. Do Not Oppose Sales Tax. None of the opponents of May-| or O'Brien's proposal to double! ithe State Sales Tax are opposed to the Sales Tax as such. The | main opposition to it is from two sources, from those who consider it politically inexpedient at the pres- ent time in view of the coming elections to the Assembly, and from the“influential New York merchants who fear that an increased Sales Tax will drive business to the neigh- boring stores in New Jersey. These sentiments are openly ex- pre: by the leading New York merchants - who oppose Mayor O'Brien's proposal. Michael Schapp, President of Bloomingdales Depart- ment Store, said, “If any sales tax had to be imposed, it should have | been a Federal,Tax. A State Sales Tax ts bad because it tends to drive | business out of the State ..” Bankers Get Lion’s Share. Mayor O’Brien asserts that the city’s share of the proposed in- creased tax will be about $41,000,000, and that this amount is required by the city for relief purposes. His proposal to increase the State Tax is for the purpose of ‘avoiding any lessening of the city’s enormous payments to the Rockefeller and Morgan banks of Wall Street who hold the majority of the city’s bonds. Investigation has shown that of the city’s annual expenditure of $500,000,000, more than $300,000,000 6008.6 payments tothe baie {this wey the A. F. of L. into the basic industries in order to | struggles, that the \lines of company unions, would | be organized. “The new plan,” writes Ruth Finney, Scripps-Howard Wash» ington correspondent, “is a long step toward concession by organized labor to the demand of industrial leaders that they only bargain with employes, This is one of the principal de- mands made in the steel code calling for company unions.” The A. F. of L. by its new steps wants to draw closer to the big steel companies through organizing com- pany unions for the bos in which the A. F. of L. leaders will be able to collect the dues and do the “har- gaining” and strikebreaking. “The new plan,” continues Ruth Finney, “is being interpreted here by some persons as an abandonment by lator of collective bargaining rights guaranteed under the industrial re- covery act, leaving them free to se- lect their own leaders, The federal unions will not be free to select an officer or member of the A.'F. of L. outside their own plant to negotiate for, them under this new system.” To help Roosevelt put over his slave codes and to prevent strikes, the A. F. of L. is proposing company unions with A. F. of L. officials with- in the plants working with the com pany management and on the com- pany payroll, but with the name of the A. F. of L. The experience of the steel and auto companies, where the workers Tejected company unions, made it necessary to bring in the company unions with an A. F. of L. label. In is moving defeat organization and struggle of the workers. The bosses in some industries, sen- sing the resistance of the workers to the company unions, fearing strike struggles, are bringing in the A. F. of L. in its new company-union form, in order to beat back these strike struggles. It, is significant that Green picks out the Briggs automobile plant, where the Auto Workers Union led a strike struggle early this year, the steel industry, where the revolution- ary trade unions in Gary, in Mi- chigan and in Buffalo led the strug- gles against the slave codes, to be- gin his company union-A. F. of L. program. The growing wave of ’. PF. of L, fears it cannot cont: or lead in order to behead, that “as inspired this new move, undoubtediy with the support of General Johnson and President ; Roosevelt Green, in his interview with cap- italist press reporters referred spe- cifically to the automobile, rubber,’ steel and lumber industries where | these A. F. of L.-company unions would be formed, naming the Good- year Tire & Rubber Co., and Briggs automobile plant. Undoubtedly Green has had con- ferences with the bosses in these in- dustries where the struggles are sharpest and is working out a scheme of company unions with A. F. of L, labels, and with dues going to the A. F. of L. officialdom in order to supply the bosses with the strike- breaking experience of the A. F. of L. leadership. “There is definitely a field of tn- timate relationship between an in- dividual employer and his employees which may involve only the problems of one plant or enterprise,” said Green, explaining the A. F. of Le company union idea. This brings forward the plan of the A. F. of L. in industries where strike struggles are rapidly spreading to smash them one by one in each plant, by dealing with the bosses in the individwad plants, and urging the formation of plant A. F. of L.-com- pany unions, The new move of the A. F. of L._ following President Roosevelt's radi speech on behalf of the univer coolie wage level, is in line with company union ideas of Gen. Johne son and the administrators of the industrial recovery act. Tt is inspired by the rapid move- ment of the workers for
