(Section of the Communist International ) America’s Only Working | | Class Daily Newspaper | WEATHER EASTERN NEW YORK: SHOWERS MONDAY Vol. X, No. 212 = Entered as second-class matter at the Post Office at New York, N. ¥., under the Act of March 8, 1879, NEW YORK, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1933 (Six Pages) Price 3Cents A Day of Class Peace ABOR DAY this year, falling on the half-year mark of the New Deal, is dedicated by the A. F. of L. officials to mobilizing the workers for | submission to the talons of the Blue Eagle. It has always been the policy of the labor lieutenants of American capitalism to utilize Labor Day to keep the American workers from following the policy of independent class action. This year, the policy of class collaboration has been written into law, with every suppressive organ of the capitalist dictatorship behind it. What can Green and Lewis present to the workers on this Labor Day for celebration and for proof of the fruitfulness of their class col- | laboration policy? They can point to the starvation codes in textile, steel, oil, auto, lumber. They can point to the strikebreaking instrument of the national | arbitration board. Above all, they can praise the open shop of_the auto code, and the fact that the coal barons’ lawyers, correctly interpreting the NRA, de- clared the open shop is now guaranteed to all employers. They can exhibit as an example of their alliance with the employers tie deed’s of Whalen, the threatened massacre of the Utah and New Mexico coal strikers, and the order of Judge Stone of New York declaring all picketing under the NRA is “a nuisance” and illegal. ‘As an especially colorful proof of the benefits of the New Deal they can exhibit the corpses of the two dead Philadelphia strikers, or the 100 St. Louis auto workers who were fired for joining unions—after Green signed the auto open shop code. e On top of all this, Green, writing in the Herald Tribune, mocks the workers saying: “New hope lightens the dawn of Labor Day 1933... ‘That hope is inspired by the belief that the New Deal at Washington will result in a square deal for labor.’” Tt A. F. of L rank and file, propagandized on all sides about the bless- ings of the NRA, is now beginning to feel the real intent of the NRA. There are symptoms everywhere that these honest workers are beginning to move into action. In Towa, 1,500 miners, disgusted with delays and promises, went on strike. In the silk industries, they have forced strikes. Labor Day this year is a day of mounting strike struggles giving the lie to Green’s preachments of class peace. But the great task is to convince the rank and file of the A. F, of L., the officials true role of the A. F. of L., to smash gown the illusions in the NRA, to mobilize the workers for struggle. On this Labor Day when close to 17,000,000 are unemployed, facing a winter of starvation and deeper crisis, Green has not a word to say about unemployment insurance. It is the task of every worker to encourage the rising militancy of the workers, to show the necessity of the workers fighting as a class for the preservation of their rights which Green and the bosses seek to snuff out. We must win the rank and file of the A. F. of L, for the banner of the conscious class struggle, for independent class action, for the revo- lutionary spirit which recognizes May ist as the real day of labor, as the day of international revolutionary struggles for the overthrow of capi- talism. Where Are They? yor will remember the enthusiastic promises of Roosevelt and General Johnson promising at Jeast 6,000,000 new jobs by Labor Day. Where are these jobs? The workers want to know. They can’t find them. Where are the millions of new jobs promised from a $6,000,000,000 | public works program? Thus far only one half of the three billion public works fund has been spent. And practically all of it has gone to build bombing planes and battleships. And only a handful of new jobs. General Johnson seems to have forgotten his original promises. He now spouts about “perhaps two million” new jobs. But he is very shy about concrete figures to prove it. He urges the workers to follow “blindly.” Roosevelt and Johnson's promises are very similar to Hitler's about more jobs and the end of the crisis in Germany. Just as wild—and just as true. And for the same purpose. To keep the starving workers from fighting against their capitalist rulers. To keep them from fighting for Unemployment Insurance at the expense of the Government and the employers. To drug them with false | hopes of future “prosperity” that will never come. Labor Day has come, and it reveals the hollow fraud of Roosevelt's six-million jobs program promises. It reveals the truth of the analyses which the “Daily Worker” has been making of the whole Roosevelt new job program. Workers! The Roosevelt promises of new jobs have proven to be false. False promises cannot feed your families. for Unemployment Insurance! The Lady is for War HE question of a visa for Tom Mann, British delegate to the United States Congress Against War, is still in the hands of Frances Perkins. ‘The State Department passed the buck to the “liberal” lady Secretary of Labor. She has full authority. Why does the lady refuse to decide? ‘There is only one answer. The Roosevelt governgent recognizes that the U. S. Congress Against War is a danger to its war program. It will do everything it can to weaken the influence of that Congress, and the “Yiberal” Frances Perkins gladly does her part. ‘We must now allow the lady to get away with it. She can be forced to let Tom Maan in if the protest is powerful enough. eo ert te. ete wat = government takes a hand to interfere with the Congress we must redouble our work to make the Congress broader and louder. If the government considers it so important, then the workers must look on it as doubly important. ‘We must shower Frances Perkins with demands that Tom Mann be Jet in, We must intensify our work of getting delegates elected, especially from the trade unions, from the basic industries, to make the Congress representative of the broadest sections of American workers, to build the anti-war front on the broadest and the most solid foundations. Liberal Deception IBBRAL weeklies of the “New Republic” type grab on to the tail of the Blue Buzzard with an enthusiasm typical of their support to Wilson in the last World War.~ In their special way they play a role as slimy as that of Green and Lewis. In the August 30th issue of the “New Republic” we read the unvar- nished lie that the policy of the Roosevelt government is that of “inde- pendent and aggressive trade unionism.” “when the NRA was written,” says the New Republic editorial, “the intention was to maintain a nice impartiality among company unions, real and none; and General Johnson began his work in this attitude. found it impossible to remain on the fence, however, and it is to his credit, and President Roosevelt, that both of them finally went over to the side of labor.” . ee ‘ . JOOSEVELT “signs the open shop for the auto code. Strike pickets are Terror stalks the Utah and New Mex- declared illegal under the NRA, Arbitration boards are set up to break strikes. The NRA at the very top begins to breed fascism. And to cap it all, the coal operators’ quoting the language of the NRA show how it makes the union shop positively illegal. ‘Yet we have these liberals tell the workers that Roosevelt and Johnson “finally went over to the side of labo:.” ‘The mealy-mouthed liberals, with their dignified, “critical” phrases, with their pretenses to utter fairness and detachedness, always ready to supply capitaliam with te war propagandists and fascists, are among the Strengthen the fight | THREE MORE TEXTILE MILLS SHUT DOWN Lack of Retail Demand Causes Piling Up of Unbought Stocks UNION, S. C., Sept. 3.—Because of the failure of the expected business to materialize, and because of an unusual accumulation of manufac- tured textile goods for which there is no market, the three textile plants of the Monarch Mills in this county will shut down this week, officials of | the company announced yesterday. Approximately 1,200 workers wilt! lose their jobs as a result of the Com-| pany’s action. | The ‘shut-down will be “tempo-| rary,” the officials said, pending the arrival of orders from buyers. | The shutting down of the Monarch Mills follows a similar action taken by at least four other textile mills in the South within the last few weeks, involving the jobs of several thou- sand workers. The closing of the Southern textile mills is a result of the failure of the expected retail quantity buying antic- ipated when the Roosevelt inflation- ary program was to have stimulated a large consumer demand. .Thus far the main demand has been restricted to wholesalers who have been stocking up, not on the basis of | actual retail orders, but solely in fear of rising prices. With the failure of any appre- ciable increase of retail consumer ; demand, wholesalers have placed sharp restrictions on all purchases. Many Will Lose Jobs | The opinion that the textile indus- | try has exhausted all the available | demand, and is now heading for an- other sharp slump in business, is widely expressed among leading tex- tile executives and trade journals. This will mean the end of thousands | of textile jobs in the very near future. ‘Republic Steel Co. ‘Chippers for Strike ito Supnsit Demands | Others’ in ‘Youngstown Plant Expected to Join Walkout | YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio., Sept. 3.— Republic Steel Co. chippers voted last night to send a committee to the company demanding 60 cents an hour for an eight hour day, with lunch on company time. Other demands were: I. y for lost time, recognition of the workers’ committee. The men made it clear that rejec- tion of the workers’ demands means a walkout. No reply was. received from the company. The chippers are determined on a fight to the finish for their demands. The spirit of struggle is high. The Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union is growing daily.

Uniformed detachments of armed factory youth passed in review to music supplied by a massed band of four hundred pieces. Then followed @ parade of thousands of members of sports organizations in many col- ored athletic suits. ‘Thereafter, masses of youth from all parts of the city marched in eight columns, completely filling the square. It was a solid stream of young workers carrying a solid river of red banners with slogans. Prod- ucts of the factories were held aloft by the marchers, Celebrate Subway Construction A float representing subway con- | struction, with youth digging and timbering, was an outstanding fea~ ture.. Hundreds of youth in rubber boots, raincoats and rubber hats, carrying tools of subway construction, were prominent in the march. This emphasized what the Plenum of the Moscow Comsomol Committee reaffirmed two days previous to Youth Day—the patronage over con- struction of the new subway andthe «| pledging of 10,000 youth to work on | construction there. Other sections of the parade sati- | rized with caricatures tendencies to- ward bourgeois frivolity, meanwhile emphasizing study and sports. Kalinin, Molotov, Kaganovich, Ord- jonikidze, Bubnov, standing on the tribune, were cheered by each pass- ing detachment. The central part of the city, as well as the outskirts, were beautifully decorated, especially the sites of subway construction, which bore large pictures of youth boring, timbering, shovelling in the subway. Honor German, Chinese Y. ©. L. Red Square also was decorated | with hyge illuminated slogans, op- posite the Tribune, such as “Nine-| teenth Anniversary of International Youth Day,” “Hold High the Banner of Leninist Internationalism.” There were huge pictures of Lenin and Stalin. The slogans on the banners at-/| tached hailed Stalin as the leader of the Comsomols and gave him greetings. There were large signs in Chinese and one in German directly opposite the Tribune, as a special honor to these two fighting sections of the Young Communist Interna- tional. Six huge searchlights at each end of Red Square made an interlacing canopy of twelve beams over the marchers, producing indescribable ef- fects on the low rain clouds and sheets of rain.

Motors Co. throughout the country| have fired over 100 workers for joining unions, on the ground that the NRA open shop clause in their code, gives them the right to choose on the basis of “individual merit.” | Complaints are pouring in to} Washington from automobile workers who are bitter at the lat- est action of General Motors. The drive against union men began when William Green, now head of the; Labor Advisory Board, originally approved the open~shop clause in the auto code. It was on this pre- text that President Roosevelt sign-| ed the auto code. Later Green is- sued a “protest” against the code he approved. Under the code, the Chevrolet plants are organizing company unions and forcing the men into them. Those who refuse are fired. | In St. Louis 2,500 Chevrolet | to President Roosevelt. | ed they had’ been fired ing unions of their own choosing.

Art J. Smith, “National Com- mander” of the American fascist} organizations, declares that he will} have one million members of the} Khaki shirts march on Washington, and that instructions have been} sent out to all members of the or-! ganization. j “We have informed the President} of our intention,” Smith said, ““And) orders have been issued to all our armed units to mobilize for the march on that date.” While Mussolini and the Kaiser} have endorsed the NRA of the Roosevelt regime, the march on Washington by the Khaki Shirts can’t be taken too lightly. Still the prediction of a march of a mil- lion men, when the organization boasts hardly a thousand members, is rather laughable. MACHADO REACHES CANADA MONTREAL, Que., Sept. 3.— Gerardo Machado, fugitive ex-dic- tator of Cuba, arrived here today, and was escorted by a heavy police guard to a hotel where he took the suite of rooms recently occupied by General Italo Balbo, the Italian Fascist flyer. No one was allowed to come near him. | “Forgotten Man” Faints of Hunger; | Refuses Charity) NEW YORK—Out of work | for months, and not having eaten | for days, Irving Kesseler collapsed | on the sidewalks of New York in | the Wall Street district. | The Forgotten Man of pre-elec-| tion fame, only remembered when | he faints of starvation, refused the | aid of “charitable” bystanders who | offered him nickels, dimes, and | even bills. “All I want is a job,” he said.

Judge Frees Rane When They Pledge By MILTON HOWARD NEW YORK, Sept. 3—There are judges in New York who will not sentence you to jail for criminal racketeering.

The NRA stuff is clear, alright. But they can’t figure this other thing out. But everyone knows what a fine judge McLaughlin is. Why, isn’t the fact that he is a fellow-Tammanyite with the leading members of the Commission Against Racketeering, Senator Copeland and ex-Police Commissioner Mulrooney, proof enough of that? Meanwhile, the judge’s friend, Sen- ator Copeland, has announced that he will propose, as the final cure for racketeering, a measure proposing the finger-printing of all workers in this country. Particularly, the radical ones, those who “endanger the basic prin- ciples of our government,” as a Senator rceently hinted. But that doesn’t include the slug- gers, crooks, burglars, kidnapers and racketeers who have the proper con- nections, INSURES OPEN SHOP, COAL BARONS SHOW GENERAL MOTORS FIRES 100 FOR JOINING UNION Lawyers Quote Act Saying Union Shop Is Against the Law \Lewis Had Told Men Bosses Were Recog- nizing UMWA WASHINGTON, Sept. 2—A bomb- shell was dropped into the eoal code secret conferences by the Appalachian coal operators’ association, represemt- ing the largest group of the soft coal bosses, through a legal declaration stating that the NRA guarantees the open shop. Previously John L. Lewis had been telling the miners that all of the coal barons were ready to recognize the U.M.W.A., and that this was offi- cially contained in the coal code. A statement was issued to the miners by General Johnson to the same ef- fect. At the time, the Daily Worker pointed out that there was no real Tecognition of any union, but simply ‘a top agreement to deal with Lewis and other tools of the operators in the U.M.W.A. The heavy blasting was done by J, Van Norman, counsel for the Smoke- less and Appalachian Coal Associa- tion, in his legal opinion made public Saturday. After the opinion was is- sued, most of the coal operators packed up and went home, feeling the last word had been said. The most significant section of the coal operators’ legal opinion that the NRA guarantees the open shop reads: “Under Section 7 (a) of the Na~ tional Industrial Recovery Act an employer may not lawfully contract with a given labor union to employ none but its members, that is, to mainta‘n a closed shop..This is.so because the code provides that ‘no employee and no one seeking em- ployment shall be required as a condition of employment * * * to refrain from joining, organizing or assisting a labor organization of his own choosing.’ “If the employer contracts to em- ploy only members of Union A he must thereafter dismiss from his employ any employee who insists on joining the rival Union B. When the employer does this he is plainly requiring the employee as a condi- tion of employment ‘to refrain from joining * * * a labor organization of his own choosing, and this is a violation of the statute. “The agreement of the employer to employ a worker only on condi- tion that he belonged to a named union is manifestly a limitation on the freedom of choice of such work- er as between rival unions and is a violation of the act.” This legal opinion, which shows how the bosses interpret the NRA and especially Section 7 (a), is of im- portance in all industries, and net alone for the coal industry. The open shop drive was strength- ened by the Labor Advisory Board’s approval of the open shop for the | auto industry. Since that day, open shop develop- ments have moved with express train speed. Unemployed Leader Killed by Texas Prison Authorities Arrested at Demon- stration, Dies of Frac- tured Skull in Jail (By telegraph to the Daily Worker) DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 2.—T. E. Barlow, Communist organizer of Fort Worth, died from injuries re ceived while in the hands of the authorities of the city of Dallas. Barlow, was arrested on Thurs- day with Hardy and Macomb, while protesting the stoppage of relief of unemployed workers of Dallas, and at that time was in perfect phy- sical condition.
