After an amendment was made to hold the united front conference on March 15, Amter of the Unemploy- ment Council took the floor and pointed out that the Unemployed Council is for unity, and for broad- ening the united front. The needs of | the workers are rapidly growing. The C.W.A. face discharge and only the united struggle of all workers will prevent the government from discontinuing the jobs on May 1, “We have only reached a fraction of the workers in New York, and only gigantic struggies will compel the government to appropriate further millions. Don’t forget that the addi- tional fund is placed at the discre- tion of Roosevelt.’ Amter Exposes Splitters Amter then declared that the March ist conference called by the Workers Committee is a splitting eonference, trying to keep out the left wing organizations. “This is no united front. You may ridicule the T,U.U.L. But in New York City it has 50,000 fighting workers in its ranks. There can be no united front without these workers. Even the U.S. government had to recognize the unions of the T.U.U.L. in grant- ing the referendum to the fur work- ers of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. “You speak about broken heads at Madison Square Garden. Yes, there was a split head—that was the head of Comrade Hathaway who was viciously slugged by the Socialist leaders, who formed a united front with the fascist Woll. The workers of Austria have been on the barri- eades deciding this question while the Socialist leaders, Bauer and Deutsch, betrayed them.” 3 Ali speeches for unity were of no ayail, Marcel Scherer of the Federa- tion of Architects, Engineers, Chem- ists and Technicians, whose organi- vation had participated in the Feb. 16 demonstration, but whose dele- gates were denied seats in the con- ference, pleaded for unity. But the determination of the misleaders of these organizations was clear. The delegates of the Unemployed Writers League suffered a similar fate.

In addition to this, other bills are on the way: The New York State Chamber of Commerce has recom- mended compulsory registration of all citizens and non-citizens, with compulsory finger-printing of all non-citizens. Senator Copeland has threatened to introduce a finger- printing measure and Dies has pre- dicted that his deportation measure which passed the House in 1932 will be passed by both Houses and become @ law in this session. “If we are to defeat Fascism in | America special attention must be paid to block these attempts to divide the foreign born from the native born in order to break up workers’ organizations. “In this crisis, the Committee for Protection of the Foreign Born must have powerful and widespread or- fanizational connections in order to carry on day to day activity and struggle to defeat these maneuvers to divide the workers. Therefore we urge you to affiliate with the Com- mittee for Protection of Foreign Born and elect a delegate who will serve as @ regular representative on its Execu- tive Committee.” political games.

After an hour the worker was taken to the hospital un- der arrest. Strike Answers Cleaners Lockout NEW YORK. —,In answer to the lockout declared by the owners of cleaning and dyeing establishments} for the purpose of raising prices, the Cleaners, Dyers and Pressers Union, | Local 18,282, A. F. of L. issued a general strike call for wages and ‘hours. “The plants are shutting down,” Says the call, “This is our opportunity to organize. Keep these plants closed until the owners shall grant lving conditions to the workers.” The demands of the workers are: 1—Thirty-six-hour week, 2—Sceale of wages ranging from 70 cents to $1.25 per hour, 3—Full pay for 6 holidays, 4—No plece work. 5—Recognition of the anion in every shop. Strikers held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the strike headquarters, 151 Clinton St., and pledged to carry on the fight for the above demands. 5,000 Involved Carl Maisus, president of the local union and chairman of the strike committee, stated that 5,000 workers are now involved in the struggle for better conditions in the dyeing in- dustry. The general strike has hit 40 con*erns. “We have the drivers with us too,” declared Nat Rosemberg, vice-chair- man of the strike committee and business agent of the union. “The drivers’ locals will not go back until the demands are met to the satis- faction of inside and outside work~- ers.” Drivers are demanding # $28 min-| imum weekly wage, 10 per cent com- mission and the 48-hour week.

Locals Demand Enactment Of Workers Bill (Continued from Page 1) letters to the Labor Committee, Con- gressman Connery, chairman; to Dow W. Harter, Congressman from Akron and to Congressman Lundeen who introduced the Bill, and urged them to give every support to have this Bill recommended out of Com- eg! and enacted into a Federal Ww. The local also urges upon them to oppose any change of substitute for this Bill, that Congress, has dofe little for the unem; but could now show its sincerity through the speedly enactment of this Bill into law, that this was the only way to safeguard the interests of these long forgotten men. ‘The National Unemployment Coun- cils, through its iter, | , I.

The Socialist leaders apparently do not consider this “ill-treatment.” Heimwehr “Absolutely Different” ‘They add that “in the Heimwehr barracks in Armbrustergasse the sit- uation is absolutely different. Here the investigator ascertained that [merciless beatings of prisoners go on day and night.” At the conclusion of this con- temptible effort to make Dolifuss ap- pear “absolutely different” from his Heimwehr henchmen, the revort pays tribute to the heroism of hundreds of women victims of Dollfuss, who Tefuse to inquire about their missing husbands for fear of betraying them to the government, and of other women under arrest as hostages for their missing husbands, who suffer agonies of anxiety lest their hus- bands should yield to the desire to give themselves up in the hope of freeing their wives.

After Firing (Continued from Page 1) ity for this prediction was ‘certain information I have.” “It isn’t a nice thing, I wouldn’t want to see 5,000 people marching on Washington, asking for work,” he added. Hopkins, who took advantage of the occasion to characterize the fascist civilian conservation corps as “a grand job. The OC. C. C. has been one of the finest things the administra~ tion has done,” based his optimism on the opinion that “the recovery pro- gram is going to move.” “Seasoned Factor” Hopkins said, “as to what's going to happen to these four million men. on C. W. A. to be de demobilized by May 1, I believe that there will be a substantial pick-up on P, W. A. among the people who were not employed when the C. W, A. began. There is also the seasonal factor. Thirdly, a large number of people, stich as farm- ers, received assistance who will be self-supporting in the spring, Fourth- ly, the retovery program is going to move. Therefore there will be in- creased work. We intend to see that the unemployed are cared for, pre- cisely how I don’t know. But one thing you can be sure of, it will be done.” ‘The foregoing, evidently, is what he meant by his favoring “a respectable way of taking care of unemployment.” Fureseth Supports Roosevelt Though he refused to go on record for or against the Connery Bill, Hop- kns warned the Committee of “a glorified spread-the-work movement that will result in a lower standard of living for the workers.” He, him- self believes in more direct methods of cutting the standard of living, such as shortening hours, Andrew Fureseth, representing the Seamen's Union, assured the Com- mittee, “I have no doubt the president will protect the workers,” despite the Proposed N.
