Drydock Strike in Danger As A. FL. | Heads Call in NRA | Bosses Use N. R. A. To: Stall, Off Negotiations NEW YORK.—The month old strike of over 4,000 drydock workers here, was jeopardized by the A. F. of L. union heads Monday when they placed the strike in the hands of the N.R.A. for mediation. Mr. Alger, N.R.A, representative, with the union leaders, from A. F. of L, only, not inviting the independent Ships Carpenters and Joiners, and the Independent Rig- _ gers Union representatives or asking for any spokesmen of the unorgan- men in the strike. '™ The A. F. of L. heads asked for recognition of their unions, this be- ing the issue that precipitated the strike a month ago when seven work- ers in the Robbins Drydock, owned by the Morgan controlled Todd Ship- building concern, were fired for their organization activities as members of the A. F. of L. Boilermakers Union. The bosses, particularly the Todd concern, are vicious open shop ad- vocates and the A. F. of L. heads played into their hands with the N. R.A. negotiations as they want to drag out the strike, hoping to wear out the men and defeat it. N.RA. officials yesterday stated that “there is no meeting of the employers scheduled for the immediate future,” ‘The men were told Monday that the bosses would be called to a meeting yesterday, but this was postponed in- definitely. The Steel and Meial Workers In- dustrial Union has been supporting the strike since its beginning. It has been guiding the men in developing rank and file action. dames Maties, secretary of the New York district of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union yesterday pointed out that the demand for-rec- ognition of only the A. F. of=L. unions would result in a defeat for the strike, since it would not unionize every worker in*the yards. tarting in the Robbins Drydotk, the strike rapidly spread te Tietgen and Lang’s, another Todd yard in Hoboken. The bosses here tried to get the workers in Fletchers to take on work tied up in their own yard and the men struck 100 per cent, » pulling Tietgen and Lang down com- ,Pletely. The strike has spread to | fplother yards in the port. } if Yard committees, something new ee in A. F. of L. strikes, have been set up in some yards but the officials have failed to weld them together into one central strike committee to unite and lead all the strikers. | ; ARRANGE YOUR DANCES, LECTURES, UNION MEETINGS at the NEW ESTONIAN WORKERS’ HOME 27-29 West 115th Street New York City TAURANT and BEER GARDEN { E (Brooklyn) Williamsburgh Comrades Welcome De Luxe Cafeteria $4 Graham Ave., Cor.

The above cartoon from the official organ of the Roosevelt con- servation camp administration, ironically titled “Happy Days,” shows that the fact that camps operate under military discipline is generally accepted. The cartoon derides the misery under which the unemployed young workers are forced to labor. “ Conservation” Camp Heads Jim Crow Negroes, Talk War Letter from Camp Describes Attempt to Start Race Riot and Breed Fascist Army (Below is a letter from a young worker in the Roosevelt Citizens’ Con- servation Corp. This letter proves that the C.C.C. camps are dominated by the militarized army regime and are being prepared to fight for the bankers’ government in a new world war. The letter describes the segre- gation to which the Negro youth are subjected, and the attempt te whip tthe whites.” ers. On page one is printed theé— up lynch spirit against the Negro workers. On page one is printed the the Daily Worker, which reveals 289 deaths in these government camps. In the face of the new recruitment of young workers into these camps now beginning, in order to manu- facture more future fascists and can- non fodder, the workers throughout the country should carry on a@ pro- test against the camps and demand their immediate abolition. Demand the granting of the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill and adequate unemployment relief in the place of these nests of war and fascism. The reader will readily understand why the identity of the writer of the let- ter and the location of the camp is withheld). * * * First, Til tell you about camp. I’m so cold it’s hard to write. We landed there Thursday night and got our tents up. There are 8 to a tent. We very soon paled off into groups. The second day when we took the oath the entire company was of one mind, that is, they would not serve in war times and they expressed their senti- ments aloud. However, the oath was only about obeying rules and regula- tions. The same day we received our medical examination (a very stiff one), our anti-typhoid innoculation and a vaccination. We were then is- sued our uniforms, which consisted of “army” overcoats, jackets, pants, two shirts and army shoes, socks and three suits of underwear. It is un- mistakably army life out here. Every- one knows it and feels it. Of the more serious conversations, war is the main topic. The fellows abso- lutely denounce it. Already, the words “Third of Reserve” go about even within earshot of the of- ficers. For the 8 days we were here, we did absolutely no work. Now for the important thing. The Negro boys are |. They are % mile away from us in a group of tents cut off from everyone else. There is one company led by tough guys here. They are facing the tents of the Negroes. Last night for plain devilment they started the rumor that the “niggers were marching on In no time at all the white section was led out by hooli- gans armed with sticks. So-called couriers from the company led by these rats were spreading the news from section to section. There was soon about 8,000 whites mobilized to march on the 400 blacks stationed below. Through the activity of sev- eral active young fellows, the leaders were partially discouraged and after about % hour, the band broke up and went back to their tents. The M. P.’s soon came out with their guns and kept order (after the trouble was over). The hysterical condition of the whites here was the type found at southern lynchings. The next morning colored fellows who came near our camp were ques- jioned. “They knew absolutely noth- ing about it,” and couldn't under- stand why such a thing could hap- pen. A lot here are convinced that segregation is the cause of it all. Some are going down to the Negro boys tonight to fraternize with them. They are a swell type and many white fellows are ashamed+of their actions, Convention of I. L. D. District Body Put Off Until November 18, 19 NEW YORK.—The Convention of the New York District of the ILD. has been changed from, November 11 and 12 to November 18 and 19, The Convention will start on Saturday, at 2 pm., at Irving Plaza, 15th St. and Irving Place.

Larned, chairman of the Detroit N. R.A. Regional Board, is conferring with leaders of the Mechanics Educ- ation Society, in an effort to send the men back to work without grant- ing them their demands. Last night 2,500 strikers smashed windows in scab shops and over- turned scab’s autos, The leadership of the Mechanics Educatiopal Association, which has been conducting the five-weeks-old strike, is continuing its tactics of Jong-drawn-out negotiations witi in- dividual employers. This is exactly what the N.R.A. intended when, after inviting the strike leaders to Wash- ington, it sent them back empty- handed and told them to settle things in Detroit. As a result of these criminal tactics of their leaders, the strikers are being driven to acts of desperation. Jay J. Griffen and Matthew Smith, leaders of the Mechanics Educational Association, have shown themselves to be no better than strikebreakers, refusing either to take any real steps to spread the strike to the produc- tion workers in the leading plants or to prepare for an organized re- treat, as proposed by the Auto Work- ers Union, At the same time these misleaders have conducted a vicious campaign against the militant rank and file opposition and have even threatened to throw the militants off the strike committee. The Auto Workers Union has called on the strikers to oust these strikebreaking leaders and to prepare Communists Lead Anti-Lynch Fight, Burroughs Says (Continued from Page 1) lord in Chicago, charging Negroes high rents, segregating them, and he was one of those responsible for the murder of the Negro unemployed workers in Chicago who were pro- testing against evictions and demand- ing more relief. They say La Guardia has supported the anti-lynching bill. But what does this mean in the face Jot the fact that La Guardia has not even made a gesture in support of the Scottsboro boys, of Euel Lee, or against the lynching of Armwood. La Guardia boasts of his work for the Sleeping Car Porters Union. He helped to make this Union a Jim Crow union.” Replying to the advertisement in the same issue of the Amterdam News, in which Samuel Leibowitz comes. out for McKee and the Re- covery Party, Comrade Burroughs stated, “Leibowitz has lined up with the party in the New York elections closest to the “New Deal” and Roose- velt, the Democratic Party which is trying to carry thru the lynch program against the Scottsboro boys in the South and which dominates the Jim Crow South. The Recovery Party, like the Republican and Socialist parties and Tammany, are all united in upholding the oppression of the Negro and the maintenance of this oppression through legal and illegal lynchings. Leibowitz was selected by the LL.D. as one of the attorneys to defend the Scottsboro boys and is now trying to cash in on the case to advance politically the lynch party of Roosevelt. “The condition of the Negro of Har- lem is typical of the conditions of the Negroes throughout the country, Comrade Burroughs declared. “The Negro workers more than any other section are kept out of jobs, are given less relief, are forced to accept the worst work, often degrading and sometimes illicit work, to keep from starving. What are they going to do? The Negro is the first evicted, the first fired, and last hired. The Y.M.C.A, building stands idle at 135th Street, and meanwhile workers are put out on the street because they can’t pay rent. There is only one home relief buro in Harlem, and this was won after the fight of the Un- employed Council and the Commu- nist Party. Fully 65-70 per cent of the workers of Harlem are unem- ployed! The children are crowded together in old schools, no new ones being built by Tammany. Housing is the worst in the city, the Negro families forced to live in crowded tenements, and often in basements. “The Communist Party is the- only party which has opposed segregation and has led the fight for better con- ditions for the Negro workers and for full social, industrial and political equality for the Negroes. The Com- munist Party has supported the fight of the Unemployed Councils for Un- employment Insurance and for relief. The Communist Party has supported the splendid struggle of the Inter- national Labor Defense against legal and illegal lynchings. This struggle prevented the lynching of Euel Lee for two years, and has so far pre- vented the lynching of the Scottsboro boys. The Communist Party has led the demonstrations before O’Brien and Police Commissioner Bolan against the killing of James Mathews at Welfare Island. The other parties do not even mention the Negro work- ers in their platform. “The Negro reformists, such as | Pickens, have betrayed and sabotaged | the Scottsboro cases. Adam Powell, now coming out for McKee, refused the use of his church for a protest against the Mathews killing. “These reformist leaders among the Negroes, like DePriest, etc, are try- ing to keep the Negro workers chained to the N.R.A, and its dis- criminating program. Adam Powell is a member of the N.R.A. board in Harlem, and is trying.to hide the viciousness of Tammany against the Negro workers as shown in the Mathews killing and in Whalen’s strikebreaking activities. The A. F. of L. and its leaders continue to try to keep the Negroes out of the} unions, or if they come in, bring them in on the Jim Crow basis,” Wil- liana Burroughs concluded. “The Communist Party, the I.L.D. and the other militant organizations of the workers supported by the Com- munist Party have done splendid work in the South, as for example, in the struggle of the sharecroypers in Alabama, and in the North, in an organized retreat that will make possible the building of organization in the shops for a future struggle of all auto workers.

Representatives of labor organiz: tions, churches, fraternal organiza- and tions, took the floor and pledged sup- port to the International De- fense, in its fight to free Hardiman, who was sentenced on Oct. 13 to a term of five to twenty years at St. Cloud Reformatory. Hardiman was one of about four or five Negroes who defended theinselves against a lynch gang here on June 22. When the Ne- groes were cornered, and the leader of the gang broke a club over the head of one of the Negroes, a shot was fired and the leader was killed. Hardiman denied he fired the shot, but despite strong evidence as to his innocence, an all-white jury found him guiffy after berating less than two hours. An executive committee of fifteen was elected at the Conference that will work for the freeing of Hardi- man and in behalf of James John- on, rged with assault in the first degree. Ex-Relief Worker's Articles Bare Hate of Tammany for Jobless “These people who are demand- ing relief are so much trash,” Ad- ministratrix Anne Rebeck of the Home Relief Bureau in Harlem declared to an investigator who ob- jected to the treatment accorded to applicants. This evidence of the callousness and hate with which Tammany officials regard the job- less is one of scores of intimate in- side glimpses of New York's unem- ployment relief machinery offered by Elizabeth Potamkin, former in- vestigator and office executive for the Emergency Home Relief Bureau on the Lower East Side and Har- lem.

Called by the Farmers National Committee for Action and its sup- porting organizations, including the United Farmers League, at a time when the people of the country are becoming disgusted with Roosevelt's promise of a “New Deal,” this con- ference will lay down a program of action to win the most pressing im- mediate needs of the millions of impoverished farm folks. Just as they have played a big part in mil- itant struggles, the women will play an important role in this confer- ence and in the work to follow.
