Relief Workers Union Organized We called workers to a meeting to organize all C. W. A. workers. Five jobs were represented. Griev- ameés on the jobs were discussed, all the workers taking part in the liseussion. After the discussi yanization was tak vamber of workers up, ‘eeretary, organizer and education- wb director were elected, with the romise of the workers to all be rganizers to get their fellow work- cs join the Relief Workers Iniog. A leaflet was gotten out and (gtributed to nearly all jobs. The job I work on was one of the irst to get some. The leaflets were ‘ven to the workers by Unem- loyed Council members, so as not o directly involve the workers on he job. ‘The workers read them ver, discussing many of the point: hat are raised. The following day ney were to transfer men to other obs. The boss comes around with encil and pad in hand, asking ‘kers who live near this project hey would like to get closer to e. Now our leaflet had raised point about workers getting as close to their homes as pos- 4 i pointed out to the ckeérs, with the result that many orkers wanted ‘tq join-in the strug- le to win further demands.

Fellow workers, the only solution is organization. y organizing we ean win better working conditions and a higher standard of life. Skilled workers should either get work of their skill at union rates, or Unemployment Insurance. After all the jobs that the C. W. A. has started, there are just as many on relief. Is it any wonder Harry L. Hopkins wants to see bands in certain places where the workers go as a solution to the de- pression? Bands may be all right, but they won’t fill up the stomach. They are now giving a! the workers on the jobs cards to fill out, so they can find out some reason to fire you. The payrolls are getting too large, the administrators of the C. W. A. jobs have to make their jobs last. County directors, region- al directors, regional inspectors, supervisors and what not, are build- ing up organizations to suppress and oppress the workers. These people are all hand-picked, getting jobs and pay at the expense of the workers, h~ ba + CONDUCTED BY HELEN LUKE PUMPERNICKEL — IN ALL ITS GLORY Just as we are on the subject of Pumpernickel, along omes a letter from a seaman who declares: “The pumper- iekel recipe will also be a novelty, and I, as a committee of ae, request you to reprint it in the Jan. 6 Daily, as that is y favorite bread.” We must, con-? —— auing the subject from yesterday, dough that way before baking; that ve a recipe now as promised, but | is, in a room of 76 or 78, away from | find space for a second! drafts.

The more active workers in the trade have joined it. Now we find Glassman associated with a “partner,” a fellow that was some years ago a business agent in the same local, and known to every worker as the biggest exploiter in the business. He was the owner of the biggest chain store system of cleaning shops in the city. He was the one that was paying 4 cents for pressing a suit. These two, with the help of the bosses, started to organize two separate unions. One was to organize the drivers, the other to organize the inside help, and so divide the wor A check- off system was instituted, and they started to organize in the shops. The Independent Union started a| |broad campaign exposing these two and fighting the check-off system. | The two labor-fakers then i ssued a leaflet in the name of the Indepen- |dent Union, printed in red_ ink, | with a lot of revolutionary phrases jand “propaganda,” calling the workers to a general strike, and condemning the A. F. of L. Their strategy in ‘suing this fraudulent leafiet was, first, to scare the workers by telling them that the independent union is red and communistic, and second, to rally the A. F. of L. to their assist- ance. The executive committee of the Independent Union immediately issued a leaflet exposing the fakers’ leaffet. Every worker in the indus- try now knows who issued this pro- vocative leaflet. This exposure has given prestige to the Independent Union, and has withdrawn the workers from Lewis- and Glassman, allowed in the shops. ivery worker can now s mself what kind of leader: may receive from the A. and its type of organization. I hope that they will realize that their place is in a militant rank and file union such as the Independent Cleaners and Dyers Union in Los Angeles. ‘Must Consolidate Gains by Electing Militant Workers By a Leather Worker Correspondent | GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y.—Workers }in the mills must understand that |the only way they can achieve any | gains or retain any they have gotten | through struggles in the past is to |see that militant workers are elected on the shop committees. Be sure that these men and women are YOUR representatives and not the bosses’. Back your representatives, after you have chosen them. You'll find that by choosing Com- munists in your departments you will have picked trustworthy workers who will defend your interests to the ut- most. The bosses won't fool you if |you have representatives who are on the alert for their schemes to dis- rupt your organizations, Workers who are militant in defending their rights belong in the Communist Party because it is the vanguard of the lib- erators of the masses from the en- slavement of the capitalist system. As you remember the fighters for your rights when you select your rep- resentatives of “your own choice,” so your must remember those who fight for and defend your rights in the political field. The Communist Party defends the interests of the workers first and last. It is the work- ers’ Party. The battle of workers for economic liberation must be car- ried on in the political campaigns as well as in the day by day class con- flicts pugsued on the economic front. The Communist Party does not cease its dction the day after an election, but continues day in and day out to be ready, able and willing to prove in action that it is truly the Workers’ Party. Remember whom the boss tanners fought the hardest during the strike? Do you leather workers recall how nearly we came to defeat when we took the boss tanners’ advice to “get rid of Solomon” and they'd settle in 24 hours. We found out then that If we want- ed the truth we could obtain it only from the strike leaders, We know well the strikebreaking aitempts of our “fair and impartial press.” We also found that above all if we wanted anything done it could be done by cur own mass action end only by ourselves, LEATHER WORKER, 1 > al cleaning} [AFL Leaders Protect Bosses in Paterson Who ) Break Pact Order Workers Back When They Want to Strike in Protest Against Unfair Discharge | | By a Textile Worker Corres; pondent | about the A.

If they do not wait in shop before they start, the boss says they do not want to work. How | would he like to have to do it him- self? One worker was in the shop about 8 or 9 hours he only got paid for 4 hours. It is said that the chairman, Tony Autieri, who belongs to the A. F. of L., does not take these things up with the boss for the workers. It is hard to believe this about you, Tony. But let us see some action, Tony, because you are a worker the same as the other fellow-workers. In the Weidemann Dye Shop, for a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year’s present for the workers with the smallest pay check, some were paid off and were told they would send for them when business picks up. Some of the bosses are trying to speed up the workers and to send the workers home as early as they can. Joe “The at” Liss talks so much How about the N.T.W.U., Phil? You said it was the best union dur- ing the strike. We all know it hasn't changed since the strike. The chair- man of the Victory belongs in the A. F, of L. but carried out the policy of the N.T.W.U., so he was dis- charged. The workers called a strike. The A. F. of L. leaders told the work- ers to go back to work. Thy would take care of the chairman. They told the chairman not to make so much trouble for the boss. A few days later the chairman got a job in another department, But it was the unity of the workers that got him back in the shop. Keep up the good work, chairman, A worker in the ‘Arrow Piece Dye Works went to work and put silk on three dye tub machines and got it ready to put in the dye. Then he was told to go home. Some one else took his place after he did the heavy work. Do you think that is fair? How about some action for this worker in this shop, chairman? How would you like to come in the shop for one or two hours and then go home. How can these workers keep their families, pay rent and other things on such little pay? The chair- man in this shop belongs to the A. F. of L, union, From Democa MONTGOMERY, Ala., The Democratic State Executive Committee, which met here on De- cember 16, witnessed two actions by which the white rulers of Alabama openly spit-in the faces of the Negro People. For one thing, the commit- tee unanimously passed a resolution barring Negroes from the coming May primary. Second, Ex-Senator J. Thomas Heflin announced that his has is in the ring for the race for Congress next year. He will run in} Alabama Rulers Bar Negroes tic Primaries’ bama’s Black Belt. He is an out- spoken Negro-hater and Negro- baiter, the representative of the most reactionary forces in the state. After being in the political shade for many years, Heflin returns to the scene on an open platform of “white su- premacy.” Heflin’s part in the prosecution of the five Tallapoosa sharecroppers, heroes of the battle of Reeltown, who now sit in Speigner Prison because of their struggle for bread, was cor- the Fifth Congressional District.

Organizer Only After Dues By a Leather Worker Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The United Leather Workers of the International is fooling the leather workers in the Philadelphia district by posing as an industrial union, whereas it is now and always has been a craft union. When the leather workers started did not want a craft union, so Quinn into an industrial union. He took in everybody that he could get, that is, if they had the $2 initation fee, and put them in Local 64, a glazers’ local. The men in the different shops are not encouraged to attend meetings of Local 64, and all the local 64 ex- pects of them, or wants them to do, is to pay dues and make no demands. Quinn has conduncted no organi- zational campaign and at no time has he attempted to organize the cellar- men, except the beamsmen in certain shops. The soak, limehouse, striking- out, tanhouse, and other cellar work- ers are practically untouched. Why? Because they are the poorest paid, and are particularly dissatisfied with the rates of pay and working condi- tions. Certain shops have not been touched by Quinn, and Amers went into a company union. At the prep- ent time no new members are being solicited, and many members are dropping out through non-payment of dues. It is sary that rank and file committee be formed in local 64 to see that a militant stand is taken in defense of the leather rkers, be- cause if the leadership is alowed to remain in the hands of Quinn and his clique Local 64 will remain little better than a company union, so the militant should get in touch with the Tannery organizer, who will outline to you, just how to form your group and how to make certain demands that Quinn will be compelled to en- do: er expose himself as a faker.

This step was raised in view ;of the very great looseness that ex- listed in our District in.the past. In reviewing our control tasks, it is necessary to point out that every section buro that we have in the Dis~ trict and many of the units that we deal with directly (although not all cf them) have taken seriously the question of sending in monthly fin- ancial reports to the District filled out on special blanks that we have worked out here, Today, more than ever in the past, we are able to say | that a great check has been made on loose borrowing of money and ux not issuing receipts to those that money has been received from.

At the same time it is neces- sary to point out that in a number of mass organizations closely con- nected with our Patty we have not as yet been able to receive regular monthly financial reports, This is a serious weakness which we must strive to overcome at the very shortest per- jod of time. Already we have gotten in touch with the leading fractions of these organizations and taken up With them this question concretely so that we expect some good results in this connection. A few months ago, the Central Committee has made some re-ar- rangements in connection with the dues system of our Party, that is, a large percentage remains in the units below. This was done in order to enable these units to carry out more independent activity, to issue leaflets, throw-aways, etc. in the name of the unit and to develop the unit as an independent political factor. In checking up on the results of this dues system, it is necessary to point out that in our District in most in- ‘stances, though the units are re- ceiving this increased percentage on dues, they have not utilized this ad- ditional money to develop the political work of the units to a higher step, There is no doubt that the main fault lies with us in the District for ‘not keeping after the units and_poli- | tically explaining the reasons of this Central Committee decision, and in that way help the units to develop their initiative and come out openly as a political factor in the struggles of the workers in their neighbor- hoods. This question we will under- take to overcome immediately and expect that generally in our District there will be no repetition of fin- ancial hooliganism as there existed in the years gone by, munist Party By PAUL LUTTINGER, M.D. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Itching and Pimples a J.

The workers answered this attack with | strikes. By unity in action and th ) militant leadership of the union the workers won their demands, not be- cause of the N.R.A, but despite of it. At the conclusion of these struggles the question of the unemployed forced itself to the forefront. The workers demanded at first that the union takes care of the unemployed. But in due time, because of the work of the class-conscious elements in the union, the workers are slowly being convinced upon whose shoulders lies the responsibility of feeding the unemployed.
