i DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1938 Page Three Communist Party Active in Strike Of 2,000 Tanners Urges Solidarity of All Workers in Gloversville GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y¥.—Giving unconditional support and aid to the 2,000 leather workers on strike here, the Communist Party issued a state- ment in which “it hails the fighting spirit” of the strikers. It urges the workers to “close your ranks solidly on the picket line and unite in a mighty protest against the importa- tion of ‘transit’ scabs to break the strike. The message states in part: “The Republican, Democratic and Socialist Parties, every day, and espe- cially before elections, are making lots of promises, but where are they now? On which side are they during this strike? Mayor Green, and other boss- es’ politicians, are members of the Tanners Council, their interests are with them. “The national and locel adminis- tration of the N.R.A. is definitely on the side of the bankers and bosses. Hasn’t Mr. Williams proven it when he ed the N.R.A. clause? Isn’t the head of the local N.R.A. a mem- ber of the Tanners Council himself? Don’t trust them! It is only through unity and fighting determination that you can win your rights for a decent living and the right to be- long to a union of your own choice! “The Commun Party, the work- ers’ only political Party, is giving full support, and in many instances direct leadership for bread and workers’ rights, for unemployment insurance, against fascism and against’ imper- jalist war. “Don’t be misled or bulidozed with the ‘red scaTe’ raised by the tanners or other enemies of the workers, they do that because they know very well that the ‘reds’ are the best fighters in the ranks of the workers. The Communist Pariy has no ties with the ruling ei: “The Communist Party will do all it can to help you win! On with the fight aSainst starvation! Till victory is yours!

Here to Aid Campaign Nygard, who arrived in New York | Tuesday afternoon to aid in the New | York Communist election campaign, | was the guest of honor at a banquet lin New Star Casino, 107th St. and Park Ave., last night. As the Daily Worker went to press the affair was | still in progress. A complete report will appear in tomorrow’s issue, |. The Communist Mayor—the first to be elected in the United States— is a huge fellow, much more impos- ing physically than either of the three cops on the Crosby police force, which he tried unsuccessfully to “liquidate.” He took office last Jan- uary, after being elected by a two to one vote. Nygard is six feet tall, weighs 192 pounds and claims that he can “handle any of those yeggs that the mining companies send in to try a rough-house job on me at the meet- ings of the Council.” Nevertheless, the Workers’ Advisory Council, which Nygard set up when he took office, picked a defense squad to protect the Communist Mayor during the stormy sessions of the Council. | Majority In Town Jobless Crosby is in the heart of the Cayuna fron range. It is a center of raw material for war industry, being one of the few places in the U. S. which produce the manganese ore vital for the manufacture of the highest grade of steel. Right now, however, most of the working population of Crosby is un- employed. “Under our leadership,” Nygard said, “we have won big in- ‘creases in relief for the unemployed.

When the Communist Mayor gets back to Crosby toward the end of the next week he expects to plunge into a hot fight over the budget and the taxation program. Although cir- cumscribed by state laws, Nygard is demanding higher rates of taxes for the mining companies and other cor- porations in the town. Has Own Workers’ Council | The city administration is in the hands of a council of three aldermen and a recorder, who bitterly oppose Nygard and his working class poli- cies. | “One of the aldermen, Frank Plutt, is a Socialist supporter and he’s more reactionary than the rest of ’em,” Nygard said. “I’ve got my own Workers’ Advisory Council, which I consult more than the regu- | lar Council. | “My wages as Mayor?

They have shut down two of the three mines in town and threaten to shut the third one down, too, if they don’t get rid of ‘that damned Red, Nygard.’ I might tell you that they've never voiced any objections to the Socialist officials in surrounding towns under their controh” One of Nygard’s first official moves was an attempt to abolish the Crosby police department consisting three patrolmen and one chief.

Nygard tried | to abolish the commission, but the) Minnesota Legislature, controlled by a Socialist-Farmer-Laborite major- ity, hustled through a law stripping | mayors of such authority. That this | bill was directly aimed at Nygard is| seen from the fact that it specifically | stated that “any police comm: n | constituted before the passage of the | law will not be effected.” “The workers have got nothing to be robbed of,” Nygard had pointed out in his fight for the abolition of Crosby police. “You know,” Nygard said with a} smile, “I declared “last May Day a| legal holiday.

H County Heads Spurn Jobless Demands } — | Police Chief Fails To | Disrupt Omaha Meet OMAHA, Neb.—Nine hundred | workers gathered at the County Court House to demonstrate for in- creased relief, rent, fuel, adequate clothing and shoes for the children. A delegated committee of eleven workers met with the County Com- missioners to present their demands. The crowd remained outside the Court House with various speakers | relating the conditions in Omaha. ‘The crowd continued to gather, and the spirit was exceptionally militant. The police interrupted the speakers and said the Mayor had ordered the meeting broken up, because a per- mit had not been granted. The crowd was intent on continuing, so a com- mittee was elected and sent to the Mayor. He refused the permit, on the grounds that nothing could be gained by holding agitational meet- ings outside. He declared that he would see the City Commisstoners and get them to allow the unem- ployed to hold a meeting Monday morning, October 9, in the Council Chambers. Although the speaking permit was refused, the chairman called for the crowd to remain and support the committee to the Commissioners with their solidarity. The police milled around among the workers trying to discourage them from remaining, but the crowd remained stolidly deter- mined to hear the Commissioners’ reply. The County Commissioners with representatives of the State Relief Committee, declared to the delega- tion representing the demonstrators that there were no funds and the County would have to continue giv- ing the same relief. That means no rents will be paid, and no shoes or overcoats supplied to school chil- dren.

Y., Oct. 18.— Prosecution witnesses examined yes- terday in the trial of I. Katzowitz, Communist organizer, on a charge of defiling the American flag, were caught in a web of contradictions and forced to admit that the May Day demonstration was orderly and peaceful until Legionaires attacked the workers, Katzowitz is accused of blowing his nose in an American flag. Question- ing of prosecution witnesses by at- torney Cooperman of the I. L. D. brought the admission that Kat- zowitz had not been seen to blow his nose but to wipe from his face the contents of eggs thrown by Legionaires and that he used a hand- kerchief for the purpose.

By RICHARD SULLIVAN (Organizer, Unemployed Council of Greater New York) The revolutionary trade unions in New York City have long ago ac- cepted the decision of the 8th Red International of Labor Unions Ple- num, which states that “the organ- ization of the every day struggles of the unemployed for their immediate needs is a central task of the revolu- tionary trade union movement.” This task becomes more and more im- portant with the growth of forced labor and the increasing use of the relief machinery as a strike-breaking agency. How have the trade unions in New York applied this decision in their daily work? With the exception of of France and other countries thatthe Marine Workers Industrial Union he visited. ernoon at the bazaar. The Young Communist League, the Pioneers, children of the Workers’ schools, will participate in songs and a eant and all adults are invited to present at this youth pageant, Barbusse at New Haven NEW HAVEN.—Henri Barbusse will speak at a meeting arranged by the New Haven Committee of the American League Against War and rating tomorrow night at Music Saturday afternoon is youth aft-| ‘which has made some attempts to organize the struggle of the unem- ployed seamen and longshoremen for relief, there is not one union in New York that can state that it is at- tempting to organize the unemployed or even to involve its membership in the struggles of the unemployed that are taking place. This in spite of the fact that in each industry there is a tremendous fleld for build- ing ® movement among the unem- ployed, and for building the unions in the struggle for the needs of the unemployed. For example: Building Trades, — Thousands of workers on “relief job” in New York are building trades workers. Many Tstrugate for Jobless Insurance Requires Active) Participation Trade Unions Must Be Active Among Jobless of the Unions pay, etc, and are ripe for struggle. They have tried to get action in their A. F. of L, locals without results. The Building Trades League and the: op- position groups are doing nothing about it, Shoe. — Many of the workers in- volved in the recent struggles in the shoe industry applied for relief at the Home Relief Bureaus, which de- liberately delayed or refused relief. The union has done nothing to or- ganize the fight for relief. Strikers have even been told that the Un- employed Council would get them re- lief or stop their eviction “without any trouble,” thus preventing the development of the struggle that is necessary to win relief. Do the lead- ers of this union believe that the spirit of the strikers can be main- tained in this way? Can they expect to encourage the workers of other shops to come out under these con~ ditions? Can they win the support of the unemployed shoe maker in this manner? “Out of Business” Needle.—When there was a tem- porary increase in employment in the needle trades, the Needle Trades Unemployed Council was allowed “to go out of business” due to neglect Against Tammany lynch terror on Negrees—Vote Communist! are members of the A, F. of L. They hhave suffered wage cuts, delays in and the withdrawal of the leading forces by the union for “more im- portant work.” Thus the illusion that unemployment was not a problem any longer was created. And now that the manufacturers and retailers are stocked up and there is no out- let, the false boom is ended and the needle trades workers have no or- ganization to conduct their fight for relief, and in the. neighborhoods where needle workers are concen~ trated, the whole unemployed move- ment has been considerably weak- ened. Food—The Food Workers Industrial Union gives us the best or worst ex- ample of the attitude of the unions towards the burning grievances of the unemployed. A food worker is sent to work by a job shark and find- ing the hours unbearabie, he quits, The shark refuses to return his fee and the worker goes to the union. The union has no time for this and gives him the run-around. This hap- pens repeatedly, Thousands of food workers who go to “shark row” (6th Ave.) every day are at the mercy lof the shark and the boss. These |scab agencies are legalized by the license department which offers the | worker no redress.

When the discontent of the workers} first became evident, the A. F. of L. attempted to organize them on an NRA. basis. This the workers in-| dignantly rejected. Whereupon the} T.U.U.L. took the initiative out of the| A. F. of L.’s hands and organized the Packing House Industrial Union. A committee of workers went to see the head of the Hildebrand Pro- vision Company, and presented their demands. The boss flatly turned down all the demands.

New York has certainly been de- prived of the conscious experienced leadership that the revolutionary unions can provide. To say the unions are busy defending the con- ditions of the workers in the shop is no excuse since the maintenance and improvement of their conditions depends to a large extent on the de- velopment of the struggle for Unem- ployment and Social Insurance. The fight for Unemployment and Social Insurance is a task of the red unions as such. : Every red union leader agrees that this is true, but continues to do nothing about it and it is high time that they stop giving lip-service to this “central task” and begin to put the job shark and the license de- partment as part of the struggle for their resolutions on unemployed work into practice, OCT. 22nd: means against the government.” Dinner at Workers Center, 88 Haw- | therne St. at 2 p.m. Adm. 380, Les Angeles Section Comrade MacHarris, touring for the Dally Workes, with the great Soviet Film “Ten Days That Shock, The “Bread” will be showr jowing cities on the dater listed below for the benefit of the Dally Worker: Oct. 21—Senta Barbara Oct. 22 to 26 inelusive— Monterey, Santa Cruz and Watsonville Oct. 27—Carmel Start New Recruiting in Forced Labor Camps NEWARK, N.
