The committee will also de- mand that action be taken at once | against the slayers of James Math- ews, North Carolina Negro murdered on Welfare Island. The committee will assemble in front of the office of the Harlem Liberator, 2162 Sev- enth Avenue, at 9:30 this morning. This committee, which has already received widespread assurances of support from members of churches, fraternal organizations, unions, etc., will call the Mayor's attention to the large number of near-lynchings which have taken place during the past few days and will protest the action of the District Attorney in failing to proceed against the slay- ers of Matthews. Three flagrant cases to be cited by the committee include the at- tack no a group of Negro students and their parents in front of the Manual Training High School in Brooklyn last Wednesday; the con- tinued arrests of innocent Negroes in Central Park on suspicion of being the mythical “ape man” sought by the police for alleged attacks on white women; and finally, the mys- terious hanging on Friday of Rich- ard Jackson, 14-year-old Negro boy, in the woodshed behind his home at 403 Elton St., Brooklyn. The committee will make the fol- lowing ‘demands upon the Mayor: 1. Immediate action against the lynch-incitement stories in the press, as well as cessation of terrorization of Negroes who have the right to walk in, or pass through, or sit in any of the public parks of the city. 2. That the Mayor, as the respons- ible administrative officer of the city, issue a public statement against these provocations, as well as upon the James Matthews murder. 3. Immediate release of Isidore Dorfman, and the release of all other | framed prisoners. 4. No Tammany -white-wash of Welfare Island. An open public in- vestigation of the Matthews murder and the conditions of Negro and white inmates of Welfare Island by a publicly elected committee, to include representatives of workers’ organi- zations, Negro and white! 5.

The NRA program is forcing the workers in this plant to accomplish in eight hours the amount of work they did in nine and a half under the old system.

For an appeal to the delegates of the recent Conti- nental Congress held under Socialist Party leadership, urging the delegates to support the Congress in united front action against war; 7. A reso~ lution of solidarity with Torgler and his heroic comrades now on trial in Leipzig; 8. To ask the National Ex- ecutive Committee of the Socialist Party to “join the Congress in the| joint struggle against war.” Nearly a dozen speakers took the floor prior to the adoption of the manifesto. The first speaker, Charles | Kuntz, representing the Icor, the or- ganization for the settlement of Jew- ish workers on the land in the Soviet Union, pledged the support of his organization in the fight against im- perialist war and for the defense of the U. S. S. R. Dorothy Detzer, speaking for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, declared that while her organization would con- tinue its pacifist program, it is pre- pared in the interests of a united struggle against war, to join whole- heartedly with the work of the Con- gress. “We wish to identify our- selves with the struggles and aspira- tions of the working class,” she said, as the Congress applauded. Roy Hudson, national secretary ot the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union, aroused the Congress to en- thusiasm by citing numerous in- stances on the part of longshoremen in 1919 in refttsing to load munitions intended for'use against the workers’ republic of the Soviet Union. His union, Hudson pointed out, only re- cently forced the removal of Nazis from German ships. No other sec- tion of the working class, he pointed out, is so strategic in the fight against imperialist war as the ma- rine‘ workers, Lloyd Brown of the Young Com- munist League electrified the nearly 3,000 delegates and 2,000 spectators by his declaration that the militant youth of America will follow the path of the heroic Communist leader of youth, Karl Liebknecht, in unyielding Struggle against the war-makers, Brown was one of three youth speakers, the other two being Nathan Solomon of the National Student League, and Monroe Sweetland of the International cane of the League for Industrial Democracy. Cglling attention to the achieve- ment of the Congress in bringing to- gether so large a number of dele- gates from industry, Jack Stachel, acting national secretary of the Trade Union Unity League, declared that no small part of the success of the Congress is due to the energetic co-operation of the revolutionary trade unions affiliated to the T. U, U. Ly Stachel called attention to the wave of sttikes sweeping over the country and pointed out that heroism of the workers in thoir struggle against exploitation in the factories and mines, found its reflection in the willingness of these workers to fight | against the war-mongers. Stachel’s speech, which was thun- derously applauded by the delegates as well as the throng of spectators, was an effective reply to the remarks | of Charies Zimmerman, Lovestoneite lieutenant, who was at the Congress | as a delegate from Local 22 of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers Union. Zimmerman’s appearance on the Platform was greeted with such dis- approval by the delegates that only the urgent plea by Earl Browder, gen- eral secretary of the Communist Par- ty, “to maintain perfect order” en- abled Zimmerman to continue. Earlier in the evening, brief talks were made by Jessie Wallace Hughan of the War Resisters League; David | Lasser of the Workers’ Committee on | Unemployment Insurance, William |Truex of the Ohio Unemployed ; Leagues, G. Puro of a rank and file group of the Shoe Workers Protective Union of Haverhill, Mass. and De- vere Allen, editor of “The World To- morrow.” Allen made a plea for passive re- sistance, a plea which failed to find vesponse among the delegates, I, Amter, national secretary of the Unemployed Councils of the U. 8.

Slander Attack On N.T.W. 5,000 At Stadium Silence Keller PATERSON, N. J., Oct. 2—At the Hinchcliffe Stadium this afternoon, 25,000 workers gathered in a splendid demonstration of unity and told the U.T.W. leaders that they are not go- ing to allow them to stand in the way of this unity. The demonstration occurred when Eli Keller, a leader of the U.T.W., attacked the N.T.W.U. in his speech, calling the union “strike-breakers” while misquoting a statement of the United National Many thousands of those present were members or followers of the N.T.W.U. and they carried a huge sign which read: “Members of the A. F. of L., We Greet You.” The Na- tional Textile Workers Union domi- i|nated the Stadium. Scores of plac- ards were seen everywhere. When Keller, who has consistently refused to form a united front, ut- tered. the word “strike-breakers,” he was booed and shouted down until he could not. proceed. He was finally forced to leave the platform. As we go to press the meeting is still in pro- gress. The meeting is called by the A. F. of L. Dyers and Associated Silk Workers (U.T.W.). In order not to break the ranks of the strikers, the N.T.W. members attended the meet- ing, although the A. F. of L. had re- fused to permit the strikers of the N.T.W.U. to be represented by a speaker. The United National Strike Com- mittee met today in Paterson and is- sued a statement answering the scan- dalous attacks on their committee and on the N.T.W.U. by Eli Keller. The statement contains six points, as follows: It places on the leaders of the As- sociated Silk (U.T.W.) the responsi- bility for maintaining throughout the strike a division in the ranks of the | strikers by refusal to join hands with the strikers of Allentown, Easton and other centers, and to join a united front with any union, or with any elected delegates of any rank and file strike. “Only through complete unity in the ranks of the strikers can the strike be won,” the statement de- clares. The statement exposes the McMa- hon five-weeks truce, which the U.T.W. leaders, including Keller himself, tried to use to. break the strike. It states: “The silence of the Kellers and Schweitzers in this out- rageous betrayal of McMahon and | continued sabotage of the unity of the workers, is today the greatest danger to the silk strike. “Our declaratién of Jast Friday is not an abandonment of the original strike demand ($36 for week work). or a policy of separate settlement,” the strike committee says, “It was a declaration of minimum demands to guarantee against a further attempt on the part of the U.T.W. leaders to send the workers back to work with- out any real gains. We declare that. we stand by the original demands of the strike and at the same time are willing to enter negotiations subject to the approval first by the United National Strike Committee and by all of the strikers. We declare that all settlements will be approved by the Strike Committee and strikers and we will not make any settlements with- out a decision of the strikers of Pat- erson and of all striking silk centers. “We are ready to use any method or form to meet the authorized rep- resentatives of the Associated to es- tablish joint committees and work out jointly the next steps to spread, solid- ify and carty on the fight to a suc- cessful conclusion.” All silk and dye mills were closed this morning and none of them even attempted to open, showing that in face of the militant picket lines of the N.T.W.U, and rank and file of the A. F, of L, the bosses abandoned their preparations for a general strike-breaking opening which they planned last week. Even the Lyons mill, which placed a front page ad- vertisement over the week-end call- ing the workers back to work, aban- doned its plan to open in face of the picket line, and it remained closed. After violent protest of the workers in the mill, the company was forced to admit this morning that it had paid for the ad and openly admitted that it was their plan to stop the strike in that mill, 'N THE parlance of the ring I ing grapplers of the day. in Chicago last year.
