Preparations Agen: Relief Now Than Under Hoover (Continued from Page One) 000 for added munitions purchases. He is ready to grant the Navy an- other $153,000,000 from the Public Works Fund for modern air bases, bombing planes, and battleships. He is considering another $90,000,000 for the Army for fighting planes, motor- izing the troops, etc. One billion dollars for the Army and Navy in six months—and less than one-tenth of that for relief! Government Makes Relief Gesture. Yesterday, sitting in the White House, President Roosevelt had to listen to the blistering accusations of & United Front delegation which in- cluded Bill Dunne of the Commun- ist Party and the Trade Union Unity League about the swift and unceasing advance of starvation in this country under the NRA. Today, Roosevelt made a feeble gesture toward providing relief for the millions of workers and their families who face hunger and suffer- ing this winter more stark than at any time since the economic crisis struck the capitalist countries of the world like a hurricane. Roosevelt today authorized the Ag- ricultural Administration to spend up to $75,000,000 for cotton and hogs to provide clothes and meat for job-| less workers. Workers Demand “Surplus”. Ever since the crisis began thou- sands of jobless workers organized in Unemployed Councils have been fighting for the government to turn} over to the hungry workers the “sur- | pluses” of farm products lying in the | granaries of the speculators. | The Roosevelp gesture for relief) yesterday is calculated to appear as| if the Government is embarking on| such a program, Actually, it is not. For it is far from certain that all of the $75,000,000 will be appropri- ated for this purpose. The figure given by Roosevelt is merely the top figure, the limit be-| yond which the relief purchases can- not go. Bui, even the highly dubious gov- ernment estimates of the Labor De- partment about the return of two million men to work leaves 15,000,000 s. And so the generous Roose- velt bounty will grant $5 to every worker and his family to provide food and shelter for the Winter. | It is not the starving workers who will >rofit much from Roosevelt's | | | bounty.

The undersigned urge upon you an | immediate public declaration con- | tration regarding the elementary jrights of workers to organize and elect their own represeritatives as set forth in Section 7 (a) of the Indus- trial Recovery Act, and regarding elementary political rights such as right of assembly, right to strike, picketing, freedom from police inter- ference, arbitrary arrest, etc. This section itself is very vague and the formulation of codes under the Act has produced such an addi- tional variety of interpretation that it is impossible to get from them any clear picture of the administration policy, with the significant exception that no penalties are applied to em-| Ployers but that workers attempting to organize and better their wages and working conditions are the sub- ject of vicious attacks in which the lives of a number of workers have been lost. In the wave of strikes which is running across the country, state and local authorities in scores | of places, acting evidently on what | they believe to be the administra- | tion’s policies, are denying the rights |of workers to strike and picket estab- lishments under a code. Police, spe- cial deputies and troops are being used against strikers in a rapidly in- | creasing number of instances. Your own pronouncement, urging a sus- | pension of strikes during this period, | | places a weapon in the hands of the employers and the state and local) | authorities who are generally on | their side in industrial disputes and struggles. In view of the conflicting | stands taken by the National Recov- ‘ery Administration in its labor policy | in newspaper interviews and formal} | decisions, and in view of the wide-| | Spread attacks on the rights of labor | (1) The maintenance of the rights | of workers to organize, strike and} picket, without curtailment whatever even against establishments operating under the general or special codes or | agreements. This right should be | maintained inviolate against all forms of forcible interference, and irrespective of the character of the organization involved. The political beliefs or sympathies of members of these unions should not affect their rights, (2) The government should not modify the right of workers to organ- ize im unions of their own choosing by requiring workers to join a spe- cific union as a condition of employ- ment. No discrimination should be tolerated against any union. Where there are two or more unions in the same industry, they should be recog- nized and dealt with in accordance with the wishes of the workers in these industries, Joint representation on negotiation and grievance com- mittees composed of workers from the two or more unions should be set up by free elections, thus assuring representation for minorities on these committees.” Nothing in the! above shall be construed to be a declaration in favor of the so-called open shop or in opposition to what is sometimes called the closed shop, provided the right of minorities is Protected as suggested. (3) The present situation demands that unions directly or indirectly controlled by employers should be outlawed—the so-called “company unions”, They cannot satisfy the conditions laid down for collective! bargaining, since they are not the| genuine expression of the workers’ choice. Unless such unions are spe- cifically outlawed, they will continue to be openly and covertly used as a means by which employers will seek to prevent workers from organizing unions of their own choosing. (4) A public declaration should be Assued immediately against the pro- vision in the Auto Code giving em- Ployers the right to employ, dis- charge or promote employees accord- ing to “merit”.
