Rank and File” on page five of the Saturday, Dec. 23 issue of the Daily Worker, the sense of one sen- tence was changed, At the beginning of page five, column two, a quotation of M McLevy, the socialist mayor of Bridgeport, is made to read as follo’ “L will appoint socialisis where- ever I have the power to do other- wise.” The line should have read:— “ft will appoint socialists where- ever I haye the power to do so.” MeLevy’s practise, however, has been otherwise.

Federal Indictment on Needle Union Leaders| Protested by 2,000 | NEW YORK.—Two thousand | workers packed the Fifth Avenue Theatre, at Broadway and 28th St., Thursday night in answer to a call issued by the Needle Trades Work- Industrial Union to protest inst the indictment of 28 leaders | and militant members of the Needle | Trades Workers’ Industrial Union. | Ben Gold and Louis Hyman, | militant Jeaders of the fur workers | and the needle trades workers, who | are among the 28 listed in the | framed indictment by the Federal | government under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, were present and received a tremendous ovation. “We will face the trial with cour- age and determination,” said Gold, | “but even though they may succeed | in putting us in jail—and they will not find it so easy—there will be hundreds to take our places and rry on the struggle.” Fascist Judge Aims to Whitewash Hitler in Reichstag Arson (Continued from Page 1) throughout the trial st Judge Buenger then began to deliver his summation, a wash of the obvious Fascist guilt, a hymn of praise for the Hitler gov- ernment, and a denunciation of the German Communist Party. The note struck insistently by the the verdicts in favor of the Commu- nist defendants, was his explicit opin- on that, despite all the evidence, the ‘ommunist Party was the real in- endiary. Of the greatest significance were The court takes the view that Van der Lubbe was a Communist, and is still a Communist, Decidedly, this Reichstag fire was not an act of individual terror, but an act of mass terror which was designed to be the overture to general strike and a revolutionary movement.” Continuing his tirade against the Communist Party, in which he took over all the discredited statements continued: “Apparently, the Communists wanted to create a visible beacon, and make an appeal to the Social- Democratic workers.” He then quoted from some docu- ments of the Communist Interna- tional and the Communist Party, tak- ing particular pains to state that he considered this “the most important part of the trial.” Thus, the way for the execution of the Communist defendants on the grounds of “treason,” after the Reichstag fire frame-up has broken down, is clearer than ever, since the fascist Leipzig court has ap- parently been instructed to begin the emphasis on this note. The the way for a second murder frame- up, on the ground of “treason,” The summing up of the fascist Judge Buenger was a miserable at- tempt to save the face of the court, despite the acquittal forced upon it by the protest movement throughout the world and the courageous stand Nazis Guilty This forced acquittal has only one political meaning—it is a complete demonstration that the real incen- diaries are the fascists themselves. Judge Buenger’s conclusion gave the catchword for new_ proceedings against the defendants. Although the court came to the same conclusion as the counter trial in London and the conclusions of the Brown Book, the Fascist Judge Buenger denounced these conclusons as slanders against the fascists. Buenger lied deliberately when he stated that Lubbe is a Communist. He lied when he said that Goering had no staff of Nazi sentries. He lied when he said that the subterranean Passage of the Reichstag played no part in the arson. He lied when he said that the fire brigade responded to the alarm quickly. He lied when he said that Van der Lubbe had no contact with the Nazis. On the contrary, the trial proved by the evidence of sworn witnesses that the fire brigade was deliberately half an hour late, that Van der Lubbe himself declared that he was in the company of Nazis, that Goering’s janitor heard footsteps in the sub- terranean passage during the night, that the witness Abermann saw Goer- ing with six staff sentries from the Storm Troopers. The fascist Judge Buenger deliber- ately ignored the entire conclusion of the trial when he concluded that the Communists were undoubtedly the instigators of the crime. Victory for Workingclass The Leipzig verdict is an admis- sion that the case of the Nazi pro- secution has collapsed. It shows the tremendous setback and exposure of German fascism, and a simultaneous victory for the German and interna- tional working class. The final victory in this case can only come if the savage lynch inten- tions of German fascism are com- pletely blocked, and the four defend- ants in the Leipzig trial are safely conveyed over the frontiers of fascist Germany.

Central Committee of Soviet Union to Meet Today, on 1934, (Continued from Page 1) ‘and continuing their factory work between sessions. Furthermore, dele- gates to all Soviet bodies form an organized group in all plants where they work and popularize the de- crees and decisions of the Soviets at mass meetings wherein all the work- ers participate. The whole country is vitally inter- ested and is watching with full con- fidence the actions of the C.E.C. of the Republics and the All-Union CEC. The All-Union C.E.C. is thus under the democratic control of the masses of workers and is the supreme Power in the country between meet- ings of the All-Union Congresses of the Soviets. The All-Union C.E.C. is elected by the Congress and has two chambers, one the All-Union Council, based on population, and one, the Council of Nationalities, with five del- egates from each Republic and one from each autonomous region. Bills must pass each chamber. Structure of Soviets Between sessions of the C.E.C., the Presidium of twenty-seven members, including the presidium of the Coun- cil and of the Council of Nationalities, acts as the supreme power. The C.E.C. has both legislative and executive powers. The Council of Peoples Com- missars is appointed by it and res- ponsible to it. The All-Union C.E.C. carries out the constitutional provi- sions of laying the foundations and establishing the general plan of the entire national economy of the Soviet Union, directs the posts and- tele- graphs and all transport, confirms the All-Union budget and makes the Re- public budgets conform, The All- Union C.E.C. further establishes the general plan for mineral and soil ex- ploitation, and has general control over labor, schools, health, weights and measures, amnesty, and other legislation. It also controls all military and foreign affairs legislation. Seventeenth Party Congress The All-Union C.E.C. has judicial powers, as the Supreme Court is at- tached to it and acts on the CEC. authority. The All-Union C.B.C. is a large body, numbering several hun- dred members. The number of, mem~ bers is decided at the sessions of the Congress of Soviets. The All-Union C.E.C. meeting on Monday, will convene in the midst of high enthusiasm for the continued growth of production under the jJeadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The latest victories to be recorded are the beginning of the operation of the 220,000 volt cur- rent from Svirgres, the new high power hydro-electric station 150 miles from Leningrad, whose capacity when all four turbines are running is a half billion kilowatt hours yearly. The first electric locomotive will be running by the time the Seventeenth Party Congress convenes, on the new- ly electrified Ekaterinsk Road from the Donbas to Krivorozsk Basin. In- dividual plants which have fulfilled Clear Picture Given of Communist Way to Socialism NEW YORK —Many Socialist workers were applauding Robert Minor before a debate between Minor, recent Communist candidate for Mayor of New York City, and Norman Thomas, on “Which Ameri-~ can Party Will Lead the Workers to Socialism, the Communist or the So- cialist?” was half over in the Bronx Labor Center Friday night. Socialist and Communist workers at the meeting united in passing two resolutions, one demanding the im- mediate release of the Communist leaders framed in the Reichstag fire trial and all class war prisoners, the other demanding the immediate re- lease of the Scottsboro boys, During the passing of the resolu- tions, Charles Solomon, Socialist Mayoralty candidate in the last city elections, stood up in the audience and shouted to the chairman, George Steinhart, Socialist, “You don’t know what you're doing.” to be held at Grdina Hall, 6021 St, alr Ave, today beginning at ¢ P, M tertainment by the John Reed Club. vies, plays and amateur contests, Danc: Adm, 25¢, Minor Gives Marxist Theory In the debate Minor outlined the Marxist theory of proletarian revolu- tion and the attainment of Social- — wT , f NORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1933 JITTERS CR NEW YORE ‘JOBS NOT READY, HUNDREDS TOLD) CWA Unocepares Appuca The bosses solve the une mployment problem.

NEW YORK. — The Furniture Workers Industrial Union are leading strikes in the Chain Upholstery Co., Flushing, L. L, Central Bedding o., 160 Monroe St., Manhattan and two strikes in Brooklyn, the Shuff Up- holstery Co, 34 Franklin Ave. and the New Englander Bedding Co., 170 North Fifth st. The strikes are all against wage- cuts and lay-offs. The Union urged workers to report at their offices, 812 ‘ c ig | Philadelphia | Benjamin to Address! “oy del| AFL Heads Aid NRA ‘in Effort to Break ‘Philadelphia Strike (Continued from Paye 1} | strengthened again with others | drawn into the struggle. | Against the strikers, the whole | force of the federal, state and city government was lined up, together | with the A. P. of L. bureaucracy on | the National Labor Board. | President Roosevelt, recognizing \the national mportance of the | strike, ordered his minions to take every step to break the strike be- |eause it would endanger the whole | method of strikebreaking of the NRA if it succeeded in developing into either a general transportation strike or a general strike of all | workers in Philadelphia. | While the strike im one sense is a sympathy strike, it is more. Every one of the strikers has his |own grievances against the func- | tioning of the N.R.A, Every striker has left, the N.R.A, lower his wages, |increase his hours, attempi to mash his union, and in many in- | stances the workers have lost their jobs through the N.R.A. Roosevelt's orders to move for the breaking of the strike bore fruit in | various ways. | 1—Daniel J. Tobin, president of the A. F. of L. International of | Brotherhoods of Teamsters, Chauf- |feurs, Stablemen and Helpers, on instructions from William Green, wired Thomas O’Brien, state or- ganizer of the Brotherhood, that the strike was “illegal,” which in substance was an order to break the strike. 2.—Dr. Leirston, NRA administra- tor, made a special trip to Wash- ing to confer with General John- son and William Green, on means of breaking the strike. Leirston’s appeal to the strikers to stop strik- ing had failed. 3.—Persistent reports were spread in Philadelphia that Eenator Rob- ert F. Wagner, head of the National Labor Board; Edward McGrady, as- sistant secretary of labor and Wil- liam Green would come to Phila- delphia to break the strike. Mc- Grady, who helped break the min- ers’ strike is already in Philadelphia but refused to see a strike commit- tee. It is certain, if the strike spreads, these worthies will be on hand to attempt to smash it. 4.—In an effort to break the uni- | ted front of the workers, the NRA in Washington hurriedly passed on the demands of the bakery drivers, offering them concessions. Thus far the bakery drivers have not withdrawn from the strike. William Green's lackey, Daniel J. Tobin, told the strikers that the A. of L. is opposed to general strikes, and that workers who have contracts with the bosses must live up to them. “No approval was asked,” he said, “nor was any given to any union in to participate in a general strike. “AS representative of the interna- tional union, I instruct you to so in- form the leaders in this movement, and make the contents of this tele- gram public if necessary.” ; The 9,000 Philadelphia members of Tobin's union are among the most: militant of the strikers, having been betrayed and victimized by the N.R.A. in their strike during last summer. They are in a fighting mood. It was only under pressure of the N.R.A. that they affiliated to the international union at all. On the part of the strikers, every effort is being made to broaden the strike, though there are weaknesses in this respect. On Tuesday, the 3,000 Budd Auto Manufacturing Co. strikers will begin mass picketing, which will add strength to the transportation strike. Efforts will be made to draw in those unions which have voted to withdraw, A move will be made in the A, F. of L, Central Labor Union to pass a motion of a general strike of all unions in Philadelphia in sup- port of the transportation strike. That the masses of workers have tremendous sympathy for the strike is shown by one incident when a scab milk driver of the Abbotts Co. with a con on his wagon attempted to deliver milk. A crowd of hundreds of people in a workers’ neighborhood followed him for six blocks shouting “scab.” Only two or three bottles of milk were sold, as the workers refused to buy milk from a scab driver. ‘The real test of the strength of the strike will come Tuesday, after the holidays. At that time, the N.R.A. and the A. F. of L. officialdom will bring greater pressure, and if with proper organization and struggle the workers are able to overcome this strikebreaking treachery, the strike Pledges to produce 17,000 extra tons of rolled metal.

He cited the Russian Revolution and the Soviet Union as example. Thomas repeated the Hitler le of famine in the Soviet Union, The Socialist Party corruption of Marxism can best be illustrated to- day in Germany, where it has led directly into fascism, Minor pointed out, Minor called attention to the Soviet Union as an example of proletarian democracy and declared that in or- der to bring about Socialism, the proletariat must first have power in its own hands, as in the case of the Soviet Union. He called attention to the militant and courageous strug- gles carried on by the Communist Party of the U. S. against fascism, war and unemployment, and showed how the Socialist Party supports the reactionary A. F. of L., N. R. A, etc. Thomas “Sympathetic” to Scottsboro Thomas declared himself in “sym- pathy with the Scottsboro boys, but said that the Communists, by their activity, were “irritating the Southern People too much.” Minor took Thomas sharply to task for his assertions on Communist ac- tivity in the South and declared: “After the ‘gentlemen’ of the South want to kill nine innocent boys, after they have committed the foulest lynch deeds, we see the spectacle of Norman Thomas pleading that the upholders of the lynch system shall not be at- tacked.” Thomas sougat to conciliate every viewpoint, while declaring himself formally for the Soviet Union, he utilized the familiar slanders of the Jewish Forward type. Thomas aroused the disgust of the workers by resorting to various dema- gogic tricks during the course of the | debate. At one point, for example, he turned to Minor and said sneeringly: “The Communists believe in war in order to bring about revolution, Do you, Comrade Minor, ask that I agitate for war?” The workers in the audience, dis- gusted though they were with this spectacle, restrained themselves from making a demonstration against Thomas. Later, replying to the Socialist, Minor said that millions of workers know that the Communists fight against imperialist war, and observed significantly, in concluding: “Perhaps the New Leader will dis- continue its practice of inserting no- tees in its paper urging workers not to attend the August Ist Anti-War demonstrations. Thomas attempted a bit of coquetry toward the left-wing furriers by pre- tending a friendship for them in thelr ating Thomas Workers Vote United Scottsboro, German Trial Resolution struggles. Later, however, he was somewhat disturbed when a worker right-wing. challenge with an evasive little speel about democracy.

He might have mentioned the fact that the revolutionaries among the Ambridge steel sizikers, or the New Mexico mine strikers found play “inimical” when they saw football jerseys on the deputies who. attacked their picket lines with gas bombs, guns and baygnets; and that the coal miners of tern Pennsylvania “denounced play” when they went out on strike only to have the mine soccer teams seab on them, because the mine bosses controlled their sport facilities. But to an oracle play is play. There are no fine distinctions. You take it or you leave it. If you don’t like it as it’s dished out in its offictal form by the army officers, sport pro- moters, industrial and financial mag- nates of the country, then you just “denounce” it and become “contempt- uous” of it. Our oracle is, of course, consider- ably water-soaked, Revolutionaries are very far from frowning upon play in the abstract. We didn't no- tice Clarence Hathaway spitting much venom when he spoke on sports at the Daily Worker benefit match recently. Nor was Bob Minor, Com- munist candidate for mayor in the recent New York elections, scowling very ferociously when he kicked off the first ball in the opening game of the Metropolitan Workers’ Soccer League season a couple of months ago, though he did take a vicious boot at the ball, As a matter of fact, it is the revolutionary Labor Sports Union CARL BRODSKY, All Kinds Of INSURANCE 799 Broadway N.Y. ¢.

That is why revolutionari. who have not yet arrived denounce play as a soporific ay a sop, and speak contemptuously of bread and cireuges.” croaks the oracle who perpetrates that illuminating column in’ the New York Times known as “Topics of the Times,” (Illu- minating because it reveals with great lucidity the vicious anti-workingclass character of that smug pillar of bourgeois Hy | EEN le tee which takes the lead in fighting for more public sport facilities to give the mass. of young mon and women the opportunity to play. Last year, when attempts were made to close the only means of winter recrea- tion for New Xork youth, the Pub- lic School Evening Recreation Cen- ters, it was largely because of the campaign started by the Labor Sports Union that the city authori- ties were compelled to scrap their plan. Teday, Labor Sports Unio clubs im several localities har started campaigns to have more v. these schools opened. Similar ac- tions have been taken by L.S.U. groups in many other parts of the country. And if that isn’t enough to knock our oracle groggy, there’s the fact that it is the revolutionary sports- men é this country who have inau- gurated the campaign to send an athletic delegation from the United States to an International athletic meet in Moscow next summer, organ- ized by @ revolutionary sport inter~ national in conjunction with the Su- preme Council of Physical Culture of the Soviet Union. Yes, revoluiionaries “are contempt- uous” of sport that aims to develop a few favored athletes to become record-breakers so that promoters can cash in. They denounce sport which has the purpose of turning workers’ minds from “destructive” ac- tivity, of militarizing anf making fascists of American youth, In short, they don’t like sports controlled by the bourgeoisie and used for the pur- pose of hitching the youth to the bourgeois chariot. But as our worthy oracle would learn, (presuming that he is capable of learning anything), if he should wander into the National Convention of the Labor Sports Union this week- end, revolutionaries are not at all backward in promoting sports con- trolled by labor athletes, and in the interests of the workingclass.
