P. “| Urges All Workers To NEW YORK.— Militant solidarity with the struggles of the Negro masses of Har- lem through city-wide sup- port for today’s protest dem- onstration at one o'clock at 126h Street and Lenox Avenue, Harlem, is urged on all workers and their rganizations in a statement issued yesterday by the District Commit- tee of the Communist Party. Today’s demonstration is called |by the Harlem Section of the Com- munist Party to protest the out- rageous police attack last Saturday e Scottsboro Mother, Mrs. Ada ht, and white and Negro work- ers protesting the Scottsboro lynch verdicts. It will be follomed by an indoor protest demonstration to- morrow night at Rockland Palace, 155th Street and Eighth Avenue, umder the joint auspices of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights and the International Labor De- fense. Preceding today’s demonstration there will be a meeting of Harlem Section unit organizers at the Fin- nish Workers Hall at 11 o'clock to organize a committee to be respon- sible for the demonstration in a test of the pledge, wrested by mass protest. from Mi La Guardia to keep his police thugs away from the demonstration. Jobless Are Put on 32 ‘Pauper Basis by, Roosevelt Order, (Continued from Page 1) mum weekly earnings shall in no case exceed the amount necessary to meet budgetment requirements.” That means that in no cas shall ‘| they be more than the relief in- vestigators figure the family can subsist on. Then Hopkins set a maximum of 24 hours a week, and a “minimum” of 30 cents an hour— $7.20 a week of $28.80 a month. However, today Hopkins announced that no one should pe employed “less than 54 hours a month.” which, at 30 cents, would provide only $16.20 per month. Farmers Cut Off From now on Federal Relief to the rural unemployed is abolished. Investigate Every Month “Before granting relief, the ad- ministrative officials should be cer- tain of the applicants’ inability to utilize other resources and grant relief only with the understanding that it is extended only in the transitional period pending the ap- Plicant’s becoming self-supporting,” Hopkins announced. The applicant must establish, in short, both that he is destitute and that he stands to become self-supporting soon enough to satisfy the local official. Regarding these, Hopkins says spe- cifiically that the officials must “as- sure themselves” of the absence of other resources, including “the availability of credit, either from private sources or from government agencies,” then the announcement declares: “In no event should relief be ex- tended for a period longer than one month without complete gation.” Which simply means that the applicants will be und- tinual investigation. Further more, it adds in capitalized type: “A home garden is possible to almost every family living in the country or in towns of 5,000 or less population. Without reference to other self- Sustenance measures which may be put into effect later, it should be the policy of state relief admini- strations to refuse to extend relief to any family failing to plant and properly care for an adequate gar- fei Ae awe Protest Police Brutality | \Call City -Wide| Taxi Sein: ice Picket All Garages (Continued from Page 1) dent of the Taxi Drivers Union of Greater New York. Mr. O’Ryan, the New York City | Police commissioner, in a further | attempt to break the strike, has | banned all parades, but the strikers | maintain their right to the streets | and emphatically declare that they will continue to picket. Secretary of the Regional Labor Board, have been turned down flat by the strikers. Golden suggested thet if the companies are forced to recognize the union, the union NR.A. supervision, because the operators do not like the present} leadership. N.R.A. Wants Fascist Unions This is a measure that the hack- men must fight against for all they are worth. To allow the N.R.A. to dictate as to when and how unions | should elect officials would open the road to the establishment of fascist unions in America—unions under) government control. The strikers have declared that they will not return to work until they have won recognition of the Taxi Drivers Union. | “This fight for recognition of our union is connected with, and is part of the fight for higher wages, shorter hours and unem- ployment insurance at the ex- pense of the operators,” said Joseph Gilbert, organizer of the union. When asked for an answer to the | | operators’ open letter, which accused the Taxi Drivers Union of violence, racketeering and coercion, Samuel Orner said, “We will answer them on the street.” “In substance, the letter appeals for police protection to enable the Terminal System, Parmelee and the Radio Fleet owners to smash the strike of 35,000 taxi cab driv- ers in New York City,” said a statement by the union. “Its ap- peal to the Mayor is based on the recent militant picketing action of the taxi strikers who are de- termined to clear the streets of strikebreakers who are robbing them of their right to a decent livelihood and to compel the fleet owners to recognize the Taxicab Drivers Union of Greater New York, The fleet owners are not satisfied with the heavy mobiliza- tion of the police called out by LaGuardia to arrest and club strikers. “Our answer to the fleet owners is that the Taxicab Drivers Union will intensify its picketing and its struggle to force the fleet own- ers to their knees. We will not stop until we have forced them to rec- ognize the only union. hackmen want.” In all the strike halls, rank and file drivers heaped indignation upon Mayor LaGuardia, who ordered the police to attack them. “I helped to put LaGuardia through,” said Albert Klein, a driver, an ex-fusion- ist. “What did I get? I had to walk the streets hungry.” I. Bader, a striker, who has been active on the picket lines, showed the Daily Worker reporter a deep cut in his leg. “This is what I got for voting for LaGuardia,” said Bader. “They put me against a stone wall and beat me.” John Bond, a taxi driver, who also voted and worked for LaGuardia in the recent elections, said: “I thought we'd get a decent break from the Mayor. “The taxi drivers elected him; the taxi drivers will impeach him!” said an ex-LaGuardia supporter in the strike hall yesterday. Amongst the striking drivers is an ex-member of the Board of Trustees and standing committee of the Fusion Party, Lee Jobion. In commenting on the actions which den when facilities therefore are available.” This explains the opening state- ment: “The objective of the rural program is to make it possible for destitute persons eligible for relief to sustain themselves through their own efforts.” Communist Parties To Be Displayed NEW YORK.—An exposition of revolutionary documents, photos, agitational material from all coun- tries, of great historical importance will be on exhibit at the Eighth Na- tional Convention, open to all dele- gates, The materials in the exposition, collected from all corners of the world, furnish evidence of the growth and development of the rev- olutionary movement, and the work being done by the Communist Par- ties of the world today.’ Party growth, the composition of the Party, shop nuclei, etc., will pro- vide one entire section of the ex- position. Samples of the Party sh-> papers, of union shop papers will form another. Rare issues of the Daily Worker and other Party press will be among the exhibits.

Soli- darity stations are being set up throughout the city. Workers and organizations wishing to contribute to the Taxi Drivers Relief Chest, can do so at the following halls: Manhattan—233 W. 38th St.; W. I.

(Continued from Page 1) in the Garden meeting tomorrow and the protest strike on Thursday. The trade unions are active in support of the Garden meeting Sunday. It was stated at the of- fice of the United Shoe Workers Union, 77 Fifth Ave., yesterday that all shoe workers are urged to gather at the union headquarters at 1 p.m. and to go to Madison Square Garden meeting at 2 p.m. in a body. The Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union, 131 W. 28th St., has issued a call to all needle workers in the city, to mass at Madison Square Garden. H. Koretz, assist- ant secretary, declared to the Daily Worker that a big turn out of needle. workers is expected, since thousands of needle workers are unemployed or are on C.W.A, work. “The Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union supports the mass meeting at the Garden Sunday at 2 p.m. one hundred per cent, as well as the one-hour protest strike for C.W.A. jobs on Thursday, March 29 at 3 p.m.” Koretz said. The Furniture Workers Industrial Union endorsed the Garden meeting and the protest strike. Other unions and local unions were to meet last night. Call to Negro Workers Today at 2 o'clock the Committee of 100, comprising many unemployed workers’ organizations, meets at the Labor Temple, together with the representatives of the trade unions, to make final arrangements for the Madison Square Garden meeting. Sol Harper, Negro war veteran and vice-chairman of the United Front Conference, issued an appeal to all Negro C.W.A. workers, un- employed and employed workers, to take part in the Madison Square Garden meeting. “The cutting off of the C.W.A. work has already caused tens of thousands of Negroes in all parts of the country to again be thrown out of work, Harper said. “Negroes are hardest hit by the C. W. A. firing, being first to lose their jobs. They get the worst C. W. A. jobs and the lowest pay. The Madison Square Garden meeting tomorrow at 2 p.m. should be a rallying point for the Negro unem- ployed workers now on C. W. A work.” Enthusiastic in thelr determina- | tion to fight for the retention of their jobs, 350 white-collar workers, members of the Associated Office and Professional Emergency Em- ployees and representing C. W. A. projects throughout the city, mef Thursday evening in the Union M. E, Church, 229 W. 48th St. Alexander Taylor, Executive Sec- retary, and William Fox, president of the A.O.P.E.E. spoke on the mil- itant program of action which has been adopted against the mass lay- offs, the end of the C. W. A., wage reductions, and the “pauper’s oath” questionnaire. The audience en- dorsed the mass meeting at Madi- son Square Garden Sunday at 2 p.m. and the mass strike demon- stration on Thursday, March 29. fold, icreihain To Address Cab Men at Meeting Monday NEW YORK—A mass meeting to support the taxi strike was called by the Downtown Section of the Communist Perty for Monday eve- ning, 8 p.m., at the Manhattan Ly- ceum, 66 E. 4th St. The call was is- sued in a leaflet yesterday to all New York workers. Ben Gold, militant leader of the fur workers, and Charles Krumbein, district organizer of the Communist Party, will address the meeting. The leaflet to the striking taxi drivers of New York hailed the mili- tant struggle of the strikers against hunger existence and slave condi- tions of work, and urged them to maintain their fighting determina- tion to win the strike. In Back of Strikers “We declare that only your own united unton under militant lead- ership, controlled by you your- selves, can protect your interests, can win better conditions for all drivers. We admire your courage and solidarity, You are holding your ranks im true disciplined working class fashion against the bosses’ company union rats, against LaGuardia police. clubs.” The leafiet scored the attempts of the American Federation of Labor and Socialist Party leaders to de- liver the workers into the hands of the bosses through the N.R.A. nego- tiations. Pointing out the sell-out policy of the N.R.A. arbitrators, Roosevelt Stalls Auto Workers To Hold Off Strike {Continued from Page 1) day, repeating a remark Knudsen made at a press conference last week. Meanwhile Phil Raymond, na- tional secretary, and a delegation of the Auto Workers Union, were en- route to Washington to demand the right to participate in the negotia- tions on behalf of auto workers.

Roosevelt indicated today that he is seriously considering some sort of board of mediation by declaring that his advisers are now working on a board of mediation to prevent the budding longshoremen’s strike on the Pacific coast. Green has al- ready declared that he will accept an industrial board as the formula for aborting the auto strike. This board, said Green, would have the usual front of “labor,” industry, and an “impartial” chairman, with the added time wasting feature of a board of appeal. formula will be anything from a ten days’ truce, to a board of medi- ation, to the thread-bare N.R.A. “election,” still pervade Washing- | ton. The Detroit Press has already set the Fascist tenor of the govern- ment-industrial attack which will meet the spring wave of strikes. Press screamed editorially, in a sort of apoplectic demagogy, “Don’t wreck America,” claiming that a strike would be “treason.” Obviously, the auto, steel, coal and other barons of basic industries will at- tempt to identify the “nation’s” in- terests with those of the exploiters. pictures of the Paris Commune, works of Lenin, pictures of the 1905 revolution, and material on the freed national minorities in the So- viet Union today are part of the valuable historical documents that will be shown. | Sunday Night NEWARK, N. J—New Jersey, one of the newest districts of the Conr- munist Party, will review, in its District Convention that opens with a mass meeting Sunday night, March 25th, among other experi- ences of the Party in mass work, the lessons of the strike of silk and dye workers in Paterson and Passaic. ,Greeting the delegates to the con- vention, as well as the Newark workers present at the mass meet- ing, Max Bedacht, member of the Central Comittee of the Communist Party, and Rebecca Grecht, District Organizer of New Jersey, will be the main speakers. At this opening mass meeting, for the first time, the candidates pro- posed by the Communist Party in the state and local elections will be named.

M., demanding in- crease in their bonus. At the Hudson Gratiot plant, where the rank and file is particu- larly militant, there was a tense situation all day, with stool pigeons infesting the plant. Workers were searched for the Auto Workers Union leaflets. In the Motor Pro- ducts plants the leaflets were placed on posts inside the plant by the workers. The Hudson Co. is driving for- ward to fasten the company union on the workers. A new edition of the Hudson Industrial Association (company union) booklets are being distributed throughout the plant. The booklet is framed to give the impression that the company union is a democratic organization and adjusts the workers’ grievances. The real purpose is shown by the fol- lowing quotation: “The manage- ment of the company and the di- rection of the working forces, in- cluding the right to hire, suspend or discharge for proper cause, or transfer, and the right to relieve employees from duty because of lack of work, or other legitimate reasons, is vested exclusively in the management.” {BROADWAY Coffee Shop 866 Broadway, Stuy 9-8814 Between 17th and 18th Streets e ALL | COMRADES WELCOME EMPIRE MIMEO SERVICE MIMEOGRAPH WITH SUPPLIES $15 Advertising Week—Ink 60¢ Lb. 799 Broadway, Room 542 Mail Orders Filled Special Prices to Organizations BRING THIS AD and SAVE MONEY OAK HALF SOLES 39c C O’Sullivans Heels 25c APITOW | 109 EAST 14TH STREET TO HIRE AIRY, LARGE MEETING ROOMS and HALL Suitable for Meetings, Lectures and Dances in the Czechoslovak Workers House, Inc. 347 E. 72nd St. New York Teiephone: RHinelander 5997 Going to Russia?
