Daily ,QWorker CENTRAL ORGAN COMMUNIST PARTY U.S.A. (SECTION OF COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL) Copeland Pushing Bills for Federal Control of Unions ? N. Y. Senator Furthers Fascist Laws Under Anti-Racket Guise WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.— Under the guise of anti-rack- eteering legislation, Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York, co-operating with the Hearst publications, is introducing bills de- signed to further the fascist measures of the government and control over the trade unions. Senator Copeland’s announcement today that he has prepared so-called anti-racketeering legislation is timed to fit in with Hearst's campaign in the New York Journal exposing in- stances of racketeering in New York trade unions. Picking out such instances of racketeering that suits his purpose, Hearst has made a pretense at a sen- sational exposure of union racketeer- ing. ing Committee, led and organized by rank and file opposition members of the A. F. of L., began a real exposure and fight against racketeering in or- der to drive the racketeers and strike- breaking bureaucrats from the lead- ership of the trade unions. Why Hearst’s Exposures? Hearst, to further his policy of pressing for more fascist control of the trade unions, saw the opportu- nity of utilizing some of this material for his own ends. Working with his tool in the Senate, Royal S. Copeland, he engineered the exposure in the New York Journal, while the senator prepared the “proper” legislation. With the barrage of anti-racketeering exposes, Mr. Hearst hopes to push through anti-working class and anti- trade union legislation. Without in the least going to the roots of this racketeering and show- ing how it leads up to the highest of- ficials of the American Federation of Labor, the New York Journal has been able to make use of evidence of graft and racketeering obtained from union members to further its drive for more stringent fascist laws against the trade unions. Points to 150 Rackets Senator Copeland declared his bills } will include provisions to meet the poultry racket, the “kick-back,” dock and shipping and other similar rack- ets. He declares thag there_are 150 such | rackets in New York City alone. The bill is designed to hit the trade unions in the largest cities. Under against racketeering, Hearst and Senator Copeland are taking the most open fascist steps against the trade unions as fighting organizations of the workers. Leaving the bureaucracy in these unions, who are responsible for the racketeering and strikebreak- | ing intact, Hearst, Copeland and other bosses hope to, through this subter- fuge, deliver a powerful blow to the workers’ organizations. The exposure of racketeering, which in reality exists far beyond the lim- ited and doctored manner in which the Hearst sheet has portrayed it, was deliberately planned by the New York Journal not to hit racketeering. Its aim was at this time, in the period of the N.R.A. attacks agains the workers, to further the fascist blows on the workers’ organizations and weaken their power of struggle. Above all, the Hearst press actually strives to protect the real racketeers in the highest offices of-the American Federation of Labor, and closely asso- ciated now with the National Labor Board, and other N.R.A. strike- breaking bureaus. Workers Lose fons As La Guardia’s “Economy Plan” Gets Under Way NEW YORK.—Mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s economy plans mean starv- ation for the employees of the five plants of the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company, who were fired when the city took possession of the plants. ‘The taking over of the plants were conducted with the greatest secrecy. At midnight, in order to forestall any action by the workers to protect their jobs, a police squad of a sergeant and five ununiformed men were dis- patched to each of the five plants where the workers were bi out and disbanded, In the Daily Worker Today Page 2 Sports, by Si Gerson.

PAUL, Minn.—Under the leadership of the Packinghouse Workers Industrial Union, the work- ers in the United Packing Co. plant were granted a 10 per cent increase in wages last week. A petition containing the names of every worker in the plant was pre- sented to the management, demand- ing the increase. When the time limit set by the workers for the re- Ply expired, the management an- nounced that the increase was grant- ed.

The other 500 face discriminatory action. The company declared it will take back “100 a week,” with the right to refuse work altogether to those found guilty of “acts of vio- lence during the strike.” The strike was ordered broken originally by the National La- bor Board. The company was “or- dered” to take all the workers back without discrimination. While the company wanted the strike broken, it refused to take the men back. A general transportation strike was called of al truckers in the city in support of the taxi drivers’ strike. After three days this strike was broken by the A, F. of L. leaders with the support of the Socialist of- Lawyer Tells Ford Men to Quit Fight NRA Won’t Act, He Says; Strikers Are Worn Out | HACKENSACK, N.

Attorney J. Glen Anderson went to} Washington to argue for reinstate- ment of the Ford strikers, but he| said he could get no action whatever. After meeting secretly with the strikers he declared that the strike | was called off because the men “were weary and tired of struggling.” The strike had lasted 12 weeks. Throughout the A. F. of L. officials worked with the National Labor Board to betray the men. They were told that Ford would be made to} “comply” with the N. R. A. de-| cisions on “collective bargaining.” Instead, Ford was allowed to hire scabs and blacklist the strikers.
