Rose Wortis, Organization Secretary of the New York Trade Union Unity Council, when interviewed yesterday on Johnson’s speech, said: “General Johnson’s speech, which is in effect a threat to outlaw strikes, is not going to affect the policy of the ‘Trade Union Unity Council.

Johnson's threat is aimed to paralyze the fighting spirit of the workers to enable the bosses to continue their attacks on the workers’ living conditions. By this means the N.R.A. will be better able to use the power of the government against the workers. “The cynical disregard of the N.R.A. | by the bosses, by even those signing the N.R.A., is evident on the con- tinued violation of the pledges they have made.

Certainly, how else can we get our just demands of a thirty-six hour- week and 42c for unskilled labor and from 83c to $1.39 for skilled workers, unless we utilize the only and inci- dentally the very effective weapon at our our disposal and that is, the strike.” C.

The challenge Was hurled at Ax- tell when he spoke against the Soviet Union in an organizational jmeeting of the Seamen’s Union a week ago, where he said he would “speak in your hall any time.” The members of the Marine Workers Union present took up the state- ment and wrote Mr. Axtell a let- ter calling for the meeting.

The strike settlement was to have | given the workers a 65 cent minimum | hourly scale, a 3734 hour week and | recognition of price committees. | Wages, however, continue to be as | low as before the strike and although | hours have been decreased, the speed up is intensified. The extra five hour | provision for overtime has been used | to extend the hours of work to 42% pet week. Coupled with the unbear- able sweatshop conditions, abuses are being heaped on the workers and no dress is forthcoming from the union, The cynical indifference of the union officiais of Local 62 emphasizes with greater certainty the truth of the report that a secret suppiement- ary agreement was made by the treacherous officials which was to completely ignore the terms of the |strike settlement but assured the check-off of union dues to the buro- crats, At the Moscow shop at 35 East 28th t., where 80 workers are employed, | the pay envelopes of the workers show $8 to $10 for a 4214 hour week. Out of this pittance, $3.50 was deducted | last week for union fees. When the | girls objected, the owner of the shop declared that this arrangement was | made with the union. “It is your or- | ganization,” said the boss. “But we | did not benefit. Our wages are just | the same,” the workers declared. The boss said he knew nothing of the 65c hourly scale and couldn’t pay it any- way i In only a few shops are the girls | paid time and a helf for overtime, | the vast majority get straight time. At the Roth shop, the boss called ‘he workers together and delivered a peech on the strike settlement. “Now, listen girls, I am supposed to recog- nize your price committee, but they cannot settle prices on my garments. So you might as well leave things for |me to adjust. It wasn’t the union, it was the government that. took you down on strike. I have to live up to the code and you know the code calls for only $13 a week as a minimum. Ill do my best to raise all I can, but you don’t want me to move out of town, do you? The scale of 65 cents 4s out of the question. I didn’t even pay it in times of prosperity, how can I pay it now?” With these words of advice the workers went back to the same pay | and the same conditions, Workers reporting complaints to Shorr and Schneider of the union have been met with complete indif- ference. They are too busy or they know nothing about it, they say. “You're not used to the work yet, girls,” Shorr laughed at a committee of the Roth workers who came to protest. No shop meetings are being called, nor are the officials interested in what is happening in the shops. At the Jay Underwear Co, at 44 E. 32d St., the boss is particularly vi- cious. “If you don’t speed up you'll go to your uncle's tonight,” he told a Negro presser in the presence of the workers. “What about the union?” she asked. “What's the use of your union working card? It doesn’t amount to anything. You ought to know that.” Union fees being demanded are $3.50 for initiation fee, $2 tax, $7.95 for the union book and 40 cents a week for dues. Great bitterness is ex- | pressed by the workers against the big amounts to be paid and the dis- | regard of the conditions in the shops by the officials.

A strong oprosition | Workers to Pack Court at Trial of NegroStrikersToday NEW YORK. — Sixteen striking Negro painters will go on trial this morning in the Washington Heights Court, 151st St. near Convent Ave. The strikers, arrested in an illegal Police raid on the Harlem headquar- ters of the Alteration Painters Local, are framed on a charge of felonious assault. New York workers are urged to pack the court in militant soli- darity with the defendants, to defeat the attempt of the landlords and police to break the strike. The strikers are fighting for the $9 and 7-hour day. Police attacks on the picket lines are being aided by the A. F, of L, Brotherhood. Zausner and his hired gangsters have several times attacked the pickets. The A. F. of L. Leadership has also sent in scabs to take the place of the strik- ers. Great resentment has been created among the Negro strikers who have been replaced by white scabs. This is in line with the anti-Negro policies of the A, F. of L. leadership which faithfully supports the jim- crow policies of the white ruling class. Condemning this policy, the Altera- tion Painters Union has called upon all A, F. of L, rank and file mem- bers and white workers generally to | express their solidarity with the Ne- gro strikers, MINOR FOR MAYOR \Protests Force Release Pending Trial of 11 Jobless Portl’dW orkers PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 15.—Mass pressure organized by the Interna- tional Labor Defense, and the expos- ure in the court room of the corrup- tion and starvation policy of the lo- cal relief bureau, forced the dismis- sal yesterday by Municipal Judge Stadter of the case of 11 workers ar- rested Friday at the Lents relief sta- tion. The arrested workers, Walker, Moore, Barclay, Anderson, Notestein, Edmonson, MacKrille, Rents, Stein- er and Nathan, were part of a com- mittee elected by the rank gnd file members of the Unemployed Council, Unemployed Citizens League and Civ- ic Emergency Federation on behalf of Claude Lawyer, an unemployed worker, who had been ordered evict- ed from his home. Action by the I.L.D, and Attorney Harry Gross forced the re!: of the workers on their own re ¥ and the postponement of the trial | until Monday morning. In addition to forcing the dismis- sal of the case, the militant action of the workers has resulted in the mov- ing of Lawyer and his family by the welfare bureau into a house of his own choosing, City Events Minor in Williamsburg Robert Minor, Communist candi- date for Mayor, and other local Communist candidates will speak at Tomins and Hart Sts. at 8 o'clock; Norman and Manhattan Aves.

Cen Hearing on charges of white -auvinist tendencies among some of the white workers in the United Workers’ Co-Operative, Bronx, the Investigating Committee has issued a statement declaring that the charges had been sustained in sev- eral cases, and calling upon the white workers of the Colony to| wage a relentless struggle to wipe out the remnants of white chauvin- | ism in the Colony. The statement declares, in part: “The ideas of white superiority are the ideas of the enemy of the work- ing class, They are consciously fos- tered and spread by the ruling class in order to demoralize and degener- ate the class struggle of the pfole- tariat, in order that the bosses may ‘divide and conquer’ Ideas of na- tional or race superiority and preju- dice are the theoretical justification of the ruling class lynchers, which are alien to the working class. As our great teacher Karl Marx taguht us: “The white workers cannot be free as long as their brothers in the black skin are enslaved.” ‘The statement points out that at the hearing itself one of the white resi- dents of the Colony maintained that “there is no white chauvinism in our Colony,” but revealed its presence in its most glaring form by statements that “the Negroes are lazy,” “let the Negroes free themselves,” “the Ne- groes are cowards.” It was also brought out at the hearing that in the Novy Mir Club such typical anti- working class tendencies had been expressed as “we can make the rev- olution without the Nezroes, we have 125,000,000 whites in the U. S. A.” When reminded of Lenin’s uncom- promising position on the national question, one resident asked “Who is Lenin, anyway?” In another in- | Stance, a white girl declared: “I was {not brought up to associate with Ne- | proes.” The Investigating Committee ruth- lessly unmasks the rotten ruling class ideology behind these statements, which are due to “deep unclarity, underestimation and confusion on the Nero Question.” It points out as another manifestation of white chauvinism in the Colony the fact hat “among the maintendnce men employed by the Colony, the Negro workers were in the lowest cate- zories, they wore employed as port- ers, but not as firemen, painters, etc. The cafeteria of the co-operative employs no Negro workers. | The Investigating Committee calls on all the revolutionary workers in | the Colony to wage a ruthless struc- ‘Sle, in the spirit of the Open Letter ,of the Extraordinary Party Confer- Jence, against all forms of white chauvinism and Jim Crow p:actices. | The Investicating Committee is com- posed of two representatives from the District of the Communist Party, two from the Bronx Section of the Communist Party, three from the Young Communist League, and one from the Communist Fraction of the Colony.

When the Seamen's Church Institute start- ed shipping scabs to take the struck job, Reddman, like other seamen, got angry. Reddman took action, by writ- ing out a protest note, tyir~ it to a wrench, and driving it th.* <h the plate glass of a door, to call the at- tention of all seamen to the scabbery NTAL clerks in the only bona fide barber shop in Greate!

Antal no longer gets worked up about the kidding. He needs the customers and confines his own comment to sardonic grunts. The clippings he pastes into the yellow-covered album whose frontispiece is covered by the horse-beating scene from Brothers Karamazov. He never did read the rest of the kook.

The delegation left immediately for Chester, to request the Ford strikers to help them on Monday’s picket line. The organizers of the A.

F, of L. organizers were also forced to agree to a delegation from Chester to Edgewater, but the A. F. of L, organizers limited the del- egation to 20. The program adopted by the action committee revolves around (1) mass picketing, (2) spreading the strike by the preparation of a march on De- troit, (3) setting up of a defense com- mittee, and inviting the International Labor Defense to defend all rank and file strikers arrested, The attitude of the strikers at their rank and file meeting in Edgewater showed a deep resentment against the A, F, of L. betrayal policy. “I was 9 coal miner,” one striker said, “and T have been in many strikes, but this is not a strike, it is a tea pariy.” A.
