The left wing officials, who were ‘lected by an overwhelming majority ~ the members of Local 9, are harged with “disloyalty” to the inion, and are being “tried” to en- ble the I. L. G. W. officialdom to just them “legally.” J. Greenberg, secretary of the lo- al, read a statement for the defense Yesterday in a general denial of the charges. He presented leaflets which nad ben distributed both by the re- actionary Socialist clique and by the Kuraman clique. He showed that the leaflets distributed by the lett wing local were mild in comparison © the vilification of each other con- tained in the circulars of the two sliques. Leaflets of the right wing slique charged that the Kurzman clique misused thousands of dollars of the union treasury to get control | af the local in the elections of 1931, | and other charges of corruption. | ~While the leaflets were being read Vice-President Kurzman turned pale} and. other members of the board | seemed nervous, The leaflets ex-| dosed the fact that Jacob Halperin aad taken money from the union for “years and was unable to get) slected.

In introducing Fish, Dickstein made a point of not mentioning Hathaway’s name or the substance of his Nazi exposure testimony. “We have our honored colleague, Mr. Hamilton Fish, Jr., about whom some reference was made by some witness about two weeks ago”, he said. Fish then launched his combination denial, demagogic, and anti-Com- munist tirade. “I wish to deny a statement made by some leading member of the Communist Party that I attended some Nazi meeting with a certain Spanknoebel at the George Wash- ington Hotel in New York City. The fact is that I have never attended a Nazi meeting, that I am very much opposed to their propaganda in the United States, that I do not know and have never sten Mr. Span- knoebel, and that I haye never been in the George Washington Hotel. “I wish to commend your commit- tee, which has come in for much criti- | Schweizer of the Department of | | Zoology, Dr. Addison T, Cutler of the dozen leading Communists in the States,” had heen originally sched- | cism, whether or not the actions of uled to lecture on Noy. 15, but in| your committee are ultra vires (with face of the huge protest from stu-/| legal influence), There is no more dents and faculty and the threaten-|room in the United States for Nazi ing. demonstration by the N.

In an interview Sunday with the ILD. attorneys in the flimsy Deca- tur jail where they are kept, all sev- en of the Scottsboro boys pledged anew their allegiance to the I. L. D. for the wonderful fight it has put up for them and is continuing to put up. They appealed to workers and sympathizers throughout the world to keep up the fight to save them. It is generally expected a short ad- journment will be made after conclu- sion of the Norris case, but apparent- ly the court has not yet decided defi- nately whether to proceed with the other cases after the adjournment, or to await the appeals which the 3,000 CWA Workers Strike; Win Raise (Continued from Page 1) contingent of workers who had now assembled at 42nd St. A strike meeting was called im- mediately. Several provocateurs and cisrupters attempted to disrupt the meeting by calling a second meeting, The workers immediately countered by chasing them off the lot. Leadership Weak and Inexperienced. A_ strike committee of six was elected to represent the workers, and the entire group proceeded to march in an orderly manner to the C. W. A. office on 28th St. The inexperienced and weak leadership, however, cowed the rank and file by saying that they would meet with police resistance if they shouted slogans, On their arrival at the ©. W. A. cffice they found the entrance flanked by police. After waiting for half an hour the strike committee of six were admitted to the building. After an- other hour of waiting they were given @ hearing by F. I, Daniels, Executive Director of the State C.W.A. In the meeting with Daniels, the weakness of the strike leadership was shown by their repeated concessions to Daniels. Although the strikers had in- structed their committee to demand $5 a day for a three-day week, work- men’s compensation on the job, ade- quate medical aid and free transporta- tion, the committee accepted a seven and one half hour-day, four day- week, 60 cent wage scale and failed to bring up the question of work- men’s compensation for men injured on the job. When the strike committee reported to the workers assembled outside, the workers booed and jeered the an- nouncement of a settlement at a $16 ®& week wage scale, The strike committee told the as- sembled strikers that they should go home; the strike was settled. The meeting broke up with small dissatis- fied groups of workers standing about in the rain, C.W.A. workers should organize im- mediately on the job, demanding: full union wage scales; workmen’s com- pensation on all jobs; suitable cloth- ing; transportation to and from the job; and no pay loss for time lost through stormy weather, sickness, ete. es ie No New C.

Boston Window Cl’ners Strike for More Pay BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 4—Window cleaners of A. F. of L. local 86 came out on strike on Saturday when the companies refused their demand for a 40 hour week and 85 cents an Rour. Pressure of the workers for a broad strike committee has forced the union's secretary to declare himself in favor of it although all the strike activity is still in the hands of the executive board. ‘Window cleaners here have been working 10 to 12 hours a day on an average wage of 50 cents an hour with only one half hour for lunch. The workers have had 4 wage cuts in the past two years. Upholsterers Meet Called for Thusrday NEW YORK.—To organize the up- holsterers against any attempt to de- stroy the conditions won during the recent strike, the Furniture Workers’ Industrial Union is calling a shop conference on Thursday, Dec. 7, at 7:30 pm. at Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St. Warning that the bosses have al- ready started a wage cutting drive and will try to reestablish piec-work and discharge union workers, the In- dustrial Union sees the importance of immediate organization of the uphol- sterers, The officials of Local 76 re- fuse to call shop strikes in defense of the workers’ interests. The Frishman shop, controlled by Local 76, hes locked out the men and established piece-work, but nothing has been done about it. A number of other shops have violated the agreement, but the union has taken no steps against the bosses. In the shops controlled by the In- dustrial Union, the bosses have tried similar methods, but have found the Industrial Union ready to resist every attempt to lower working conditions. The Industrial Union now proposes to lead the shops out on strike, where attacks are made on union conditions, regardless of the do-nothing policy of the officials of Local 76. It calls on all organized and open shops to send representatives to the shop confer- ences to prepare for struggle.
