i uy 2,000 IN BKLYN MARCH DEMAND JOBLESS AID Police Frame Militant Worker on Charge of Beating Cop NEW YORK—More than 2,000 Brownsville workers marched to a mass meeting held in Premier Palace Friday night, demanding relief and protesting police brutality at the Re- lief Bureaus, Police were compelled to issue a permit for the parade, due tothe mass pressure of delegations and telegrams that were sent to Po- Commissioner Bolan. At the Hopkinson and Hast New York Ave. mobilization point police. arrested John Rubel on a framed-up charge of beating up a cop at the Home Relief Bureau, Chtistooher and Belmont, demonstration held re- cently.

Sadie Berg was chairman. Winter announced the Conference Against Evictions and Relief Cuts, which will be held on Aug. 19 at Irving Plaza. He pointed out that in a similar conference of 294 labor organizations, held two months ago, the Workers’ Municipal Relief Ordi- nance was drafted. The Aug. 19 Con- ference will consider all criticism, suggestions and amendments to this draft. William Bryan, arrested for resist- ing evictions after Brownsville work- ers put up a stiff fight to move his furniture back, urged the workers to come to his trial Tuesday morning at, the Smith and Schermerhorn Streets Court.

Propose Program for Cleveland Trade Union Conference Make “cial Insurance a Central Point; Appeal to Organizations to Join; Need Funds NEW YORK.—A‘ five point program based on the immediate needs of all workers is outlined in a circular of the arrangements committee for the Trade Union Conference for United Action which will be held on August 26 and 27 in Cleveland, Ohio, The circular is addressed “To All American Federation of Labor Unions, Central Labor Bodies, Railroad Brotherhoods, Confer Tonight on Fur Trade’s 35-Hour Week NEW YORK.—A special meeting of the conference committee of the Fur Department of the Needle Work- ers Industrial Union and of the Fur Trimming Manufacturing Association will take place this evening to dis- cuss the 35-hour weck, which is to be instituted in the fur industry. Stage and Screen | “THE NEXT WAR” Reviewed by Irving Lerner Like “The Big Drive,” Forgotten Men” and “The Strange Case of Tom Mooney,” “The Next War” is the product of an “independent” com- pany. That is, a company not con- trolled by the Hays outfit. In Eu- ropean countries it was considered a distinction not to belong to the trust. And as a matter of fact, all of the better German (pre-Hitler) and French films were made by inde- pendents. Here in the Urited States not being a member of the Mazs or-! ganization is a symbol of infeiozity. It’s the class distinction within the capitalist class. Therefore these in- dependents are compelled to make sensational films (Goona Goona) to be able to compete with major com- panies. Occasionally they will in- clude in their programs “topical” films that have the mask of sen- sationalism, “The Next War” now playing at the Cameo, is composed of library shots and is accompanied by an announcer. The very fact that such a film was made is indicative of the war situation today. In so many words the film admits that “we hear the rumble of war, even though the last war killed 10,000,000 men and crippled and wounded more than twice that amount.” The picture goes on to show how the nations are preparing for the next war. Of course, there is no distinction be- tween the offensive mobilization of the capitalist countries and the de- — Lodges, fensive*moves on the’ part of the Soviet* Unioni*:’ And then the commentator with very vivid language and less vivid but nevertheless exciting pictures tries to give the audience a picture of the next war; the poison gas, the mechanized armies, the deadly air fleets, the super navies, and the terror of bacteria warfare. By this time the excitement has reached its peak. Then the So What—the What- are-you-going-to-do - about - it part. Our announcer says that only “F¥ e a r—a noble force” will help to stop the next war. And that the hope of the people is in the League of Nations! This ending is no sur- prise. It would have been expecting too much and certainly naive to ex- pect even an “independent” to ask us to support the United Congress Against War in New York, Septem- ber 2nd-4th. The so-called feature (“The Next War” being only an added attraction) is the new Ann Harding film (this is Art and Enter- tainment) called “Double Harness.” But never mind it, it does not matter.

It is: “1, Immediate and substantial in- creases in wages in all industries and for all workers. “2, Social and Unemployment In- surance. “3. Against forced labor camps, commissary relief plans, and for pay- ment in cash at full trade union rates on all public works. “4, For the preservation and re- covery of workers’ rights; for the right to strike, to belong to any union of the workers’ own choos- ing, for free speech, assembly and press; for complete equality for the Negroes; for abolishing of all. dis- crimination against the foreign born, women and youth labor, for the re- lease of all political prisoners. “3. Intensify the struggle against autocratic, corrupt and racketeering elements in the unions and against the A. F. of L. and socialist official- dom which supports or tolerates such evils.” The arrangements’ committee calls “upon all workers and workers’ eco- nomic organizations which agree with the general nature of this pro- gram” to participate in the Cleve- land Conference, “to work out meas- ures for organizing the broadest possible mass fight to win these de- mands.” An urgent appeal is made by the committee whose headquarters are located at 70 Fifth Avenué, Room 412, that funds be sent to carry out the plans. The expense is estimated at about $2,000 to organize and arrange the conference. 3) ORGANIZATIONS DISCUSS CODE OF FOOD WORKERS NEW YORK.—Five labor and fra- ternal organizations, representing the workers employed in the hotel and restaurant industry, were .present at a conference where the National Re- covery Code and its effect on the members were discussed. The organizations represented were the Hotel and Restaurant Branch. of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union, the Hotel and Restaurant Branch of the Amalgamated Food Workers’ Union, the International Cooks As- sociation, the Manhattan Italian Sporting Club and the International Geneva Association. These organiza- tions reprcsent 6,000 to 7,000 workers now working in the hotel and res- taurant incustry. This was actually the first time since the General Strike movement of the hotel workers in 1918 to 1922 that such a conference was organ- ized. The coriference resulted in set- ; ting up of a joint committee of rep- resentatives of each organization to draw up a draft code for the indus- try on the basis of the actual condi- tions as they now are, and to initiate and conduct joint struggles around these proposals. The International Hotel and Res- taurant Employees Union, affiliated with the American Federation of La- bor, has already established its of- fice in Washington, under the lead- ership of Flore, its president, who is trying to split the movement by or- | ganizing individually — negotiating with the employers. The National Restaurant Associa-| tion, which recently had its confer- ence to draw up a code for the in- dustry, which was recently published in the for a 54-hour week; 40-hour week impractical and un- feasable for the industry. Wezes they proposed as low as $3 for the unskilled and as high as $25 for the highly skilled workers—chefs, cooks, etc., in the industry. They are try- ing to push their proposals to the Recovery Administration. A move on the part of the American Hotel Asso- ciation, a powerful combine of the richest hotél bosses in this country, to classify the hotel workers as do- mestic servants, recently was reported in the latest. issue of their organ— “Hotel World Review.” This will mean added sla¥ery and worsened conditions for the hotel workers, The joint committee set up by the conference took all these questions into consideration and is Preparing to fight around these is- sues, DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1933 SS, set UP a code providing | declaring the; Page Three Miners Watch Comrade’s Funeral ° Thousands of miners lined the streets of Brownsville, Pa., as the body of Louis Podorsky, slain by com- pany-paid deputies was carried to the cemetery. | | 1 | | | MINERS REJECT LEWIS SELL OUT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) as Roosevelt recently made over the radio when he says: “For this moment let controversy cease.” Lewis sent his message after the rank and file miners clearly spurned the Roosevelt-Lewis agreement. At a meeting of local U. M. W. of A. leaders in Fayette County, Wil- liam Feeney, president of District No. 4, urged the miners to return to work. He was voted down. The vote to continue the strike was 140 to 3. A district convention, to take further action was called for next Friday night. The decision of the Lewis machine that the men return to work has aroused a spirit of revolt among the miners against this new betrayal which is added to the already long list of treacheries. In Library, a meeting of 5,000 miners booed the mention of Pat Fagan’s name. Fa- gan is president of District No. 5 of the U. M. W. of A., and immedi- ately following the ‘Washington agreement he announced that he, together with other union officials, will have “the miners immediately return to work.” Discentent is widespread through- out the mine fields. On the miners’ own ‘initiative trucks carrying signs, “Don’t be tricked, the strike is not over,” are being sent from town to town in Fayette County, where the strike is most effective, Miners Must Decide. The National Miners’ Union has mobilized all its forces for a dis- tribution of leaflets outlining a pro- gram of united struggle. It urges the election of rank and file com- mittees to lead the strike. The leaf- let calls for a continuation of the sttike, and demands the right of the miners- to vote on a settlement Meanwhile the strike is taking on greater proportions each day, with an estimate of close to 70,000 miners cut. The strike is spreading tomany parts of Westmoreland County. The joint strike committee at Renton and Newfield mines adopted a resolution condemning U. M. W. of A. officials for trying to block the spreading of the strike. In Fayette County the two Oliver mines of the Pleasant Valley Coal Company were shut down. Four mines in Washington were closed, with about 2,200 men joining the strike. With the closing of the Trotter and Kyle mines the H. C. Frick Coke Company was left without any of its mines working. This is the biggest blow against the U. S. Steel Com- pany, of which Frick is a subsidiary. Consequently the steel corporations express no little fear of the effects |that the strike has on the workers in the steel industry. This is ob- served in the increased response to- wards the program of the Steel and Metal Workers’ Industrial Union and organizational steps which are taken in the Allegheny Steel Company's mills. The determination of the miners to win has been retaliated by Gov- ernor Pinchot with a threat to send in more troops and to further tighten up martial law which prevails in the strike area. The governor, who at first promised to recall the 325 troops, Encouraged by this action of the “liberal” Governor Pinchot, deputies are rounding up militant miners and making numerous arrests. Forty- two pickets were arrested and held on trumped up charges of assault and battery. Most of the miners are held in jail as the U. M. W. A. offi- cials make no efforts to get them out, with the exception of the aid the arrested miners recéive from their own locals and relatives. NEW. YORK.—On Wednesday, August 2, the World-Telegram car- ried a full page ad under the signa- ture of the Scripps-Howard News- Papers extolling the virtues of Roose- velt’s NIRA. From all appearances it was motivated by a great sense af patriotism. “Employers are no longer firing workers—they are hiring to- day,” the advertisement said in ef- fect. The same day, in a succession of lay-offs, there was posted the cus- tomary notice on the chapel bulletin board that two more compositors were laid off by the World-Telegram in the order of seniority. This no- tice was tacked onto the advertise- ment by a class-conscious worker, The World-Telegram NRA Ad Says “We Do Our Part” But Paper Lays Off 2 Compositors posing room protested to the chair- man, by direetion of the business manager, that it was not “fair” to By a Railroad Worker Chteapcndast “The organization of a firm basis for our Party an@ the revolutionary trade union movement must be among the decisive strata of the American workers in the most im- portant industrial centers.” (From the Open Letter of the Central Com- mittee of the Communist Party to the Members, June, 1933.) On the Pennsylvania Railroad, a center of about 2,000 workers, agita- tion was carried on by one worker for about six months. The workers were hot and steam- ing militant. The 10 per cent cut was being extended, the shop men were determined to take a stand. They formed in groups, undecided how to do it. Talk was free and loose. It was suggested and ac- cepted to hold a meeting outside, to sign a petition and protest the ex- tension of the 10 per cent cut. A worker was asked to bring paper the next day for the petition and to find a meeting place. The following day, arrangements were made for the meeting and the paper was brought 'U. 8. STEEL CO. DICTATES MINE Lewis Tells Men to Go to Work and Help Roosevelt Plan WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. — The Morgan-controlied United States Steel Corporation wrote the agrec- ment, signed by John L. Lewis and William Green, ordering the miners back to work, it was admitted here at the NRA headquarters. Before the statement was signed. and it was proposed that all refer- ences to the United Mine Workers of America be withdrawn, and that no union recognition be stated or promised. ‘The agreement to end the coal strike drawn up was then sent to Roosevelt for approval. The agtee- ment provides: 1—The miners are to return to work immediately, with no recogni- tion of their demands, the miners not to be discriminated against but to be re-employed under previous conditions. 2—The men are to have a check- weighman paid out of the wages of the workers. 3—A national Board! is to be es- tablished to “arbitrate” grievances. This board to Consist of Gerard Swope, président of General Elec- tric; Louis D, Kirstein, Boston capi- talist; Major George L. Berry, presi- dent of the Printing Pressmen’s Union. The agreement to break the strike was written after long negotiations between General Johnson, the coal operatogs, the United States Steel Corporation representatives, and the U.MW.A. officials. John L. Lewis, after the agree- ment, issued a statement to the miners ordering them to return to work. Lewis told thé men to drop their démands and wait for the coal slave code hearing on August 9, and ac- cept the results without question. “Instructions requesting compli- ance with the terms of this settle- ment,” said Lewis, “will be issued immediately to the district organiza- tions and local unions in the affect- | ed areas.

The notice and full- page advertisement remained. The workers of the World-Telegram went even further. They caused a peti- tion to be circulated for the call of a special chapel meeting for today to take up this question of “the critical attitude of the World-Tele- gram and other Scripps-Howard Newspapers,” in not practicing what they preach, according to the work- ers of the World-Telegram. They resent, also, the latest séll- out by Green and Company in ef- fecting along with the wealthy in- and very cleverly pointed out the hypocriscy of the Scripps-Howard Newspaper publishers, The superintendent of the com- dustrialists, the “no strikes” provi- sion of the National Industrial Re- covery (Slavery) Act Afte? issuing the statement Lewis went into conference with General Johnson to work out steps for smashing the strike in the event the miners refused to accept the sell- out.

Chairman of the Shop Craft Com-} mittee, to ask the officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad to have our committee sit in at a conference on such controversial questions as the wage cut. But we are not opposed to any necessary company economy.’ This move was exposed. The men were called upon to form unity groups, to hold meetings, to elect committees, to subscribe to the Rail- road Unity News. The company fol- lowed right behind with “They are reds. Pay no attention to them, they are Communists.” The workers were told to stay away from the red meet- ing. That gave the company time to split our ranks, to ease up with work{ on some, to drive others twice as hard, to string along others with a promise of a foreman’s job and to| actualiy let the foreman go home half a day so this rat could act as foreman and think himself in soft.
