C., Aug. 7— Under cover of a nation-wide cam- paign against underworld criminals and kidnappers, Senator Royal 8.| Copeland of New York has proposed the creation of an American “Scot- land Yard” whose main function will jbe the terrorizing of revolutionary workers. This real purpose of the proposed vlan to establish a Federal police bureau was broadly hinted at in the | speech of Joseph B Keenan, Assistant Attorney General before the Interna- tional Association of the Chiefs of Folice last night. Keenan said, “The administration will stress the sup- ression of kidnappings and other ‘erms of threats and violence.” When this statement is taken in njunction with the recent wide- spread activity in favor of a Federal |police to suppress “activities harm- ful to the public interest,” as one of he sponsors of the plan phrased it, ithen the meaning of the Federal po- lice scheme becomes only too clear.

I tried to acquaint the readers of the Daily Worker with the condi- :tions under which about 75,000 relief workers are being handled by their bosses on the job. The drunken foremen “want to have the workers in a state of fear and subjection. Yet the workers remain unorganized, open for attacks. Everyone is facing ‘the danger of being fired from the job.” A week or later the Daily Worker printed another story I sent in ex- posing the fact that the drunken foremen are using their position to squeeze dimes and nickels out of the poor workers for their own use to buy booze. These little stories printed in the Daily Worker by a worker correspon- dent drew the attention of the city authorities. For fear of wide pub- licity and the danger of arousing the hungry workers to organize and fight, the authorities acted quickly. A foreman, a habitual drunkard from my job was taken away. The remaining foremen do not appear now as drunk as they used to. An order by the Park Commissioner, prohibiting collections of any sort by the foremen on the job was put on the wall of every shanty in the parks of the Bronx. Here is the power of our press, which is not yet recognized by many workers. Here is a striking illustra- tion of the importance of workers’ correspondence for our press and movement. With pride and joy, I note the movement among the relief workers to organize, as reported in the Daily Worker. The home and work relief is being cut. Instead of bread, the workers are being given illu- sions of “happy days” and the “new deal.” The policy of the relief ad- ministration now is to look for ex- cuses to fire workers from the job, or to get rid of them by means of a transfer to a far distant park. Many a time I heard the foreman bt my job threatening the workers who resisted his meanness, “If you won't do as I tell you, you'll go to ; Orchard Beach.” Orchard Beach is well-known to the workers as a slave-driving place that requires two to three hours riding to and from of Worker on Situation on Bronx Relief Jobs Results in Action the Park and 30 to 40 cents fare daily.

Redleaf (Signature authorized) Cafeteria Workers Win Better Terms (By a Food Worker Correspondent) BROOKLYN, N. Y.—Last January the skilled workers in the Non-Bet- ter Cafeteria in Brighton Beach went on strike for higher wages under the leadership of local 325 A. F. L, The non-skilled workers then came ; out in support of the skilled workers. The Food Workers Industrial Union at that time warned the strikers that the A. F. of L. leaders are not out to win real union conditions for them and especially for the non-skilled, and urged them to be on guard and see to it that all strikers, skilled and non-skilled, go back to work only under improved conditions.- The workers then promised to stick to- gether, But here is what happened: The bosses demanded that Panken shall be called in as arbiter (Panken is a friend to one of the bosses). The union officials agreed and with Panken’s help they came to a set- tlement whereby the skilled workers got improved conditions and the non-skilled were forced to go back on the same conditions with a pro- mise that the union will “try” to get something for them, Now the Food Workers Industrial Union has organized the non-skilled workers and forced the boss to give them union conditions and to re- cognize the F.W1I.U. While this strike was on, the officials of local 225 A. F. of L. forced the skilled workers to scab on the non-skilled. They even supplied the bosses with scabs. But it didn’t help. Instead of the 6% days and 12 hours per day, which they were working before, they are now working 6 days a week, and 10 hours per day, and with a $3 to $4 in- crease on their wages.

Top floor of a Harlem firetrap. Two rent strikes going on in the block. The Ramos’ had been evicted two days before and are just setting up their furniture. They had no deposit for either bas or electricity and can’t do cooking. There would be little to cook any- way. The relief committee affords them only the most meagre kind of subsistence, The seven worked in the Commo- dore laundry under different names because the hotel won’t hire relatives. This is their first strike experience. To the father and mother it’ still a black puzzle. But the four girls who have been subjected to Foreman Thompson's merciless speedup (he goes into the women’s toilets to see they don’t stay beyond the allotted five minutes) are taking their turns in the picket line and at strike head- quarters. Some of them have been beaten by the detective on duty, The girls chew on the dry relief bread. “We're used to it,” one of them says, bravely cheerful, “At least there are no cockroaches in them, the way the hotel used to serve left-over scraps. All the time the food was full of cockroaches.” “Charlie Schwab was at that din- ner, and Judge Gary,” reminisces George Burrell, the hotel's executive manager, “and Queen Marie with her woman consort were the only ladies there, dining at the long tables with about twenty-five hundred men. Why, the Queen of Belgium visited us here, and Ramsay MacDonald. What was that? Pickets?

These workers are mak- ing $1.25 a day and not getting paid for the two, three hours overtime they're forced to do as a rule. There is no ventilation in the laundry plant. “Don’t pay any attention to them,” Mr. Driscoll says, “I don’t. Those People don't know when they're well off. I got my own workers to worry about.” Housewife Lauds Reds for Leading Fight for Relief (By a Worker C ndent) NEW YORK.—Reds! Reds! Come to our rescue! What else could we say? We, housewives in Harlem, are well aware of the splendid work be- ing performed by the fearless men and women whom the capitalist press designates as reds. We understand very well what ts meant to be a red. To be a red is to demand the right to live. To be a red is to march in a body to the Home Relief Bureau and force them to turn over the food ticket. The of- ficals must be in with the grocers. When we go to the store and show the ticket, right away, everything goes up, We are dictated to as to what to buy and not allowed to get any change from the ticket. The city officials are well aware of that fact and do nothing to stop that damnable trick. Therefore they are in with the grocer men. The Standard Grocer, located at 2267 Seventh Ave., between 133rd and 184th Sts., is among the most vicious stores. I saw one of the clerks there writing a list for $1.09 and tell the food ticket bearer $1.69. I asked him two weeks ago the price of a sack of rice. He said $3.35. When he saw my ticket, he said, “I have none now. Come this afternoon.” I went back there later and he charged me $3.95. These are only two examples out of thousands which are taking place daily.in Harlem. Housewives, join the Unemployed Council and get rid of the sharks that are preying upon us in Harlem.

City Hall or Bust.” The worker resisted arrest, was manhandled by the police, but forced the cop to push the wheelbarrow to the station house at Chestnut and Oak Sts, remarking that “It’s the first time I ever saw a cop work.” This incident was pointed to by another worker as an example of the uselessness of individual action, “Only “This is no stunt, Ym merely | in masses by the hundreds of thou- showing that I am willing to work | sands can we force the city to give if I get a job.

The International Labor Defense handled the worker’s case and mass pressure prevented a vicious sentence. Painters’ Union Leads Two Winning Strikes NEW YORK— The Bronx section of the Alteration Painters Union, 4215 Third Avenue, led the workers of two shops through victorious strikes. Eight workers of the Ram and Kissler shop won a 25 per cent raise end recognition of their shop com- mittee. Twenty workers at the T and T shop wen a dollar increase bringing their salary to seven dol- lars a day, who are figuring on how to capture the flat plums of city office is that ‘Tammany will run Ferdinand Pecora as Attorney General in the coming city elections, Pecora gained nation-wide fame as the attorney for the senate commit- tee which investigated the banking house of Morgan recently. It is said that Pecora, who held the job as Assistant District Attorney for twelve years, will be glad to ac- cept the nomination, Tammany will make this move in an effort to counteract the moving of the Italfan vote to LaGuardia, who is expected to be the Fusion candidate for mayor. Pecora, during the Morgan investi- gations, was hailed by the press as a new fighter of the corryption and the power of Wall Street. The latest news of his intended nomination by his old politica! affiliation, Tammany Hall, one of the most corrupt polit- ical machines in the country, reveals the value of such an estimate of Pecora. And, incidentally, it throws light on the kind of investigation that was intended by Pecora, who adjourned the investigation in the midst of the most important disclosures. | Saginaw Firm Fires 60) SAGINAW, Mich., Aug. 7.—Sixty employes were fired last week by the Sommers Anplianc2 Co. for ask- ing wage increzses. present pay is 20 to 25 cents an hour on a nine hour day, with 15 cents an hour for women.

They will be tried in the 131st Street Court Wednesday morning. The Union is appealing for finan- cial assistace to carry on the strike.

Sint race sa les Sone, aaa sroup in raising subs for the Dally ' Government Uses Churches to Put Over NRA Slave Codes the people,” said Karl Marx, founder of Scientific Sociat- ism. The current issue of the weekly “Witness,” organ of the Protestant Episcopal Church, gives some illum- inating inside “dope” on how the Wall Street, through the Federal govern- ment, uses the churches as a tool to put over its plans. Says the “Witness,” “All but the younger clergy remember how George! Creel hired by. the government to sell war to the American people used to send neatly printed sermons to them with the request that they be read in place of their own sermons, . . . Something reminiscent of the ballyhoo of the war days is being stirred up over the recovery program of the present administration with at least some evidence to prompt the statement that the government hopes to use the churches now as it did then.” The editor of the “Witness” «is worried that the churches do not be- come too crude in their service to the capitalist class. As a matter of fact, the majority of the Sundsy sermons are devoted to the praise of the Roosevelt slavery codes. The church- es do not even have to wait for print- ed sermons to work in the interest of the Wall Street masters, .They do it by habit, he revised his story, denying every- thing which he was quoted as hav- ing said by the local reporters, all of them very friendly to the mob and the national guardsmen. “The crowds which gathered around the A.G.S. station and the court house were very cooperative with the guardsmen”, he announced. “I per= sonally desire to commend the crowd for the co-overation and fine temper which it displayed throughout the demonstration.” In other words, the National Guard and the lynch-mob co-operated very nicely in using force and violence to prevent the Negro defendants being defended by any but local lynch lawyers of the most prominent vari- ety, by Maj. Jemison’s own admis- sion. Stage and Screen “The Strange Case of Tom Mooney” Opens Today At Acme Theatre The physical change that a man undergoes after seventeen: years of prison life on a framed-up charge can plainly be seen in the case of Tom Mooney, star of the film, “The ‘Strange Case of Tom Mooney,” open- ing today at the Acme Theatre, 14th St. and Union Square, At the time he was declared guilty of the bombing in the Preparedness Day parade in San Francisco in 1916, Tom Mooney was in the prime of life. Today, although he has never lost fait in the working class, the entire appearance of the man has changed completely. “The Strange Case of Tom Mooney” depicts with graphic real- ism the drama of the most famous case of the century, the story of a man who, though innocent, has spent seventeen years of his life in a living grave in San Quentin prison, “Conquerors of the Night,” the So- viet film of the icebreaker ““Malygin” and its adventures in the far Arctic, which is being held over a second week at the Acme, is on the same program. ane The International Labor Defense, which is conducting a vigorous cam- paign for the unconditional release of the militant worker, has arranged to have collections take place at the door of the theatre, the funds of which will be used for the defense campaign. The International Labor Defense urges workers to help the defense campaign by contributing as much as possible.
