C., March 23. | Congressman Oscar De Priest, Negro millionaire representative from Tlli-| nois, finally took the floor Wednes- | day on the question of the exclusi n | ‘| of Negroes from the House restau- rant. The restaurant is operated by | the House Accounts Committee. In a 25-minute speech, Mr. De \ Priest abjectly apologized for em- barrassing the jim-crow government | by raising the issue of discrimina- | tion. He declared a servile accept- ince of the imperialist dictum of ial (and thereby racial) inferiori- ty of the Negro people. He explained | his raising of the issue as motivated | by the mass anger of the Negro people and his fear of repudiation at the polls. He at the same time) subtly assured the House he had no intention of spoiling his long record | of “usefulness down here in Con- gress” (to the jim-crow capitalist system), stating: ‘T've been informed that if I press this question it might hurt my helpfulness down here in Con- gress. Ff I didn’t press it I would not come back after the next election—the people in my district would repudiate me.” Tried to Absolve Federal Gov- ernment. ‘Throughout his speech, Congress- man De Priest tried to absolve the national government from respon- sibility for the rank discrimination against Negroes in the House res- } taurant. He placed sole responsibil- ity for the jim-crow policy on Rep-| resentative Lindsay Warren, of North Carolina, chairman of the House Accounts Committee. and on “the people of North Carolina.” He carefully evaded the known fact} that the jim-crow policy has the support of the bulk of Congressmen. | He thereby sought to divert the} mass anger of the Negro people and and Negro and white workers from | the national government which, by its exclusion and expulsion of Ne- groes from the House and Senate restaurants, segregation of Negroes at the Senate sub-committee hear- ing on the Costigan-Wagner anti- lynching bill and N.R.A. code dif- ferentials, gives official sanction to jim-crowism and_ discrimination against Negroes. And to cap his treachery, he assured the House that ‘g\he was not arguing for social fegualt. | Pretends House Discrimination Is Something New He pretended that the House dis- crimination is something new, al- though Negroes, outside of himself and his guests, have been barred from the public restaurant for years. “T have been here for a good many years and never before was there any such discrimination,” he stated. He ignored similar jim-crow prac- tices in the Senate restaurant and throughout the District of Colum- bia, which is under federal jurisdic- tion and is notoriously a hot-bed of race prejudice. Reading a letter from Represen- tative George B. Terrell, Texas Democrat, in which the latter stated, “T am not in favor of social equality and I neither eat nor sleep with Negroes,” Mr. De Priest gave a dis- torted interpretation of social equal- ity, narrowing it down to “an ex- change of visits from home to home and not by appearing in the same public dining room.” Ask your friend, your fellow worker to subscribe to the Daily ‘Worker.

YEMANS HALL | ment into private industry; Admission 20 Cents Cc W. A. Co. Union Launched to Smash C.W.A. Men’s Unity United Conference Committee Warns All C.W.A. Men NEW YORK.—In a statement is- sued recently, the United Action Committee on C.W.A., elected at the March 18th Conference, warned all C.W.A. workers against the “com- pany union” plan of the C. W. A, administration. The company union, brought for- ward as the increased actions of the |C. W. A. workers is about to culmi- | nate in a city-wide strike and mass meeting at Madison Square Garden, is aimed chiefly at the white-collar workers. Leaflets were distributed at all C. W. A. jobs, calling upon all “mature” white collar workers to join the “Mutual Association.” The address given is that of the former headquarters of the State Re-em- ployment Bureau. Attempt to Split Ranks In addressing itself to the “ma- ture” white collar workers, this com- pany union aims to split the ranks of the C. W. A. workers, who have just recently, in many instances, after cleaning the leadership of ren- egade Lovestoneite and Trotskyite elements, succeeded in building a strong united front of all C. W. A. workers. As a result of this unity, city-wide actions are being carried through, and effectual united fronts are being formed from below with all C. W. A. groups, This company union poses a three point program: (1) re-employ- (3) th establishment of “project bureau: and (3) a “bureau of public rela- tions.” Spurred on by the success of the} United Prout Conference called By! vet otticials, who stated they were | the Unemployment Councils and the | Gump” to go into stich places to| Relief Workers League, these com- pany union plans, operating under- cover, have only just now reared} their heads. The Unemployment Councils, the Relief Workers League, and the Committee of 100 elected by the workers’ delegates at the March 18th conference, in the name of all or- ganizations participating, warn all workers against this company union. Protest Attacks on Negro Workers Sat. Moore C alls for City- Wide Turn-Out in Harlem NEW YORK. In a denunciation of the attempted assassination of Rus- sel Watson, Philadelphia Negro leader, by a white employer and the police attack on last Saturday’s Scottsboro demonstration in Har- lem, the National Council of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights calls on all white and Negro workers to rally to the mass fight against the growing fascist attacks on the working class, directed with particular venom against the Negro masses.

A. workers paraded through the downtown business section here Friday. Halting their march at the Cc. W. A. headquarters they de- manded that Amick, C. W. A. ad ministrator, and Miss Cassack, wel- fare head, come out and answer their demands, The spokesman for the workers | declared that “We are not begging for favors, We are demanding the right to live.” He further stated that the “unemployed live in daily fear of being evicted from their | homes and of having their gas and | water turned off. Answering the demand of the un-| employed that the welfare pay the employed, Amick stated he did not | believe the evictions would ma- terialize nor would their gas and water be shut off. the West Virginia League be represented on the Ca- bell County Welfare Board, Amick said “he had no control over that.” But on his own “responsibility” he invited a committee of the league to meet with the Welfare Board at their next meeting. The demands of the unemployed included the full payment of back direct relief checks, payment of | back C.W.A. wages. The workers’ |committee bitterly protested the wage cuts of C.W.A. labor. a ase Workers and Farmers Unite VIRGINIA, Minn., March 22.— Six hundred workers and farmers staged a demonstration before the County Courthouse here demanding relief, work and drought aid. Hay-| ing been met by curt answers and| refusals, several weeks ago, already, the farmers and workers were get- ting desperate in the situation here. Two weeks ago a comimttee of farmers from the Markham and Brimson territories went after re- lief and feed for their cattle and were met by the refusal of the re- farm. { This county agent, Mr. Neubauer, drawing down a good salary from the county, has been trying to tell more, now when they are in need they are “dumb” and deserve noth- ing better than starvation and suf- fering. Win Some Demands When the farmers were met by this answer, they immediately de- cided to call for mass support for their fight. Appealing to workers from Eveleth, Virginia and the near- by Range towns, they united to pre- sent the immediate needs of the workers and farmers in a form that | the officials would understand. Commissioner of the Sixth Dis- trict, Mr. Koski, spicuous by his absence. Last win- ter, the Embarrass, Minn., farmers offered a reward to anyone seeing | Victor Koski in Virginia on the date | there have been no collectors. Mr. Neubauer, the county agent, | nicely. Two trucks of hay left for Brimson before the demonstration was over. Every farmer who was needing hay and knew where he could get it immediately, was told to get an order from Neubauer and there would be no difficulties. The mas$ of farmers waiting for an answer were not to be denied and he knew it. C.W.A. Board Absent The C.W.A. Mediation Board had run out of town when the time came for the demonstration to take place. While they were in town until almost 1 o'clock (when the demonstration started) they sud- denly felt the need of going to Tower, some 25 miles away imme- | diately, One member of the Board, Mr. Ethier, an ex-business man, was still in town and met with the C. W. A. workers’ committee with the same stock excuse that he was un- able to do anything—“Buck-pass- ing” in the good old style! Seamen Block Gov't Plan to Take Relief from Them. BALTIMORE, Ma. Md.—Mass resent- ment on the part of the seamen here and the threat of a march on Washington prevented the State Relief Commissioner Harry Green- stein from carrying out his plans to take over the administration of relief which is now in the hands of a committee elected by the sea- men, Greenstein at a meeting here Mon- day proposed that the administra- tion of the relief should be in the hands of a federal administrator and that the seamen should work an average of two days a week for $3 a day. These proposals were unanimously rejected by the seamen who de- manded that their own committee remain in charge of the relief and that the wage for relief work should be $450 a day, and that all jobs should be handled through the Cen- tral Shipping Bureau. These demands were won and a meeting was scheduled for yester- day at which the question of how many days work a week would be allowed the seamen will be settled.

This gigantic order, which will be completely paid for in advance, swells the total orders received so far for the half-million copy May Day edition to 315,000! Chicago has ordered 35,000 copies to date; Cleve- delphia, 20,000; Boston, 10,000, and | Denver, 10,000. In placing this order, the New| York district announced that it plans to undertake one of the great- est mobilizations ever held in New| York, to distribute the paper in| every workingclass district, every shop and factory in the metropo- litan area. It expects to enlist the big mass and fraternal organization | in the city, every one of the many | | workers’ and youth clubs, every cul- tural group, every union, as. well as the members of the Communist Party and Young Communist League units. The announcement of New York's determination to circulate 200,000 copies is expected to act as a spur toward activity on the part of the 12 districts throughout the United States which have not as yet defi- nitely responded to the call for a mass half-million distribution of the May Day special edition. In addition to placing its orders for the May Dy edition on the basis of doubling the Tenth Anni- | versary edition orders, every district is urged to get on the job imme- diately to accomplish two things: 1, The mobilization of all avail- able organizations and individual workers for the job of spreading and circulating this history- making edition. 2. A thoroughgoing campaign to get every organization, large and small, to send May Day greet- | ings to the special edition. As already announced, every single greeting will definitely appear in the edition, even if this neces- sitates the printing of extra pages. In New York, one unit has al- |ready placed its order nad recorded its determination to dispose of 1,000 copies of the May Day Edition. The unit is 403, Section 4, Harlem, and | ; union, reached at its last meeting. This should be happening in every unit and every branch of big mass and fraternal organizations through- out the country.

The five delegates, Waldmer Isaac, | chairman of the county strike com- mittee; Anthony “Shanghai” Sar- rhoni, secretary; John Thomas, a young Negro worker; Jack Kite, and E. Leisening, declared that although in some sections in upper New York State victories had been won, 3,000 C.W.A. workers still remained on strike. They were the elected rep- resentatives of 660 strikes in On- tario County. Waldmer Isaac, chairman, in an interview with the Daily Worker, said: “It is often the case that the struggles of the workers in the small towns and cities are neglected. The workers, however, in bringing for- ward their demands are militantly determined to win. Demand Continuation of C.W.A. “The C.W.A. convinced these workers that the federal govern- ment can, if sufficient force is ex- erted by the workers, provide em- ployment. In the town of Victor, there was one small factory, the Lock Insulator Co., employing 200 workers in Victor, and about 200 from neighboring towns. This fac- tory is now closed, and the factory is being demolished. Now that the workers won C.W.A. work, they bit- terly resent the attempts of the Roosevelt government to put them back on the Hoover basis of relief. Ontario County CWA Strikers Demand Pay Rise, No Firings We had been getting $15 a week. This was cut to $12 for a 24-hour week, and later cut to $9.60 by re- ducing wages to 40 cents an hour. About 200 went out at first. The workers spread the strike, so that on Monday, at 10 a.m.,, the entire county was out.” ‘The 660 strikers, now ip the sec- ond week of the strike, have closed down all C.W.A. work in the county, and have pulled out the county trucks working on the jobs. The strike directly affects C.W.A. work- ers in Geneva, Canandaigua, and Victor. The strikers are demand- ing 50 cents an hour for a 30-hour week, union wages to apply, recog- nition of the strike committee, con- tinuation of the C.W.A., no lay-offs; free transportation to and from the job, re-employment of all fired workers, the immediate dismissal of all foremen, who are not in need and have been given jobs through political favoritism; and the right to make up lost time. The state C.W.A. administration passed the buck on to the local C.W.A. administration, stating that wage rates are at the discretion of the county board. 300 March in Geneva Tespite the attempts of the county C.W.A. administration to break the strike by ‘prolonging a settlement, the spirit of the strikers is high, On Thursday, 300 strikers marched through the streets of Geneva carrying banners and shout- ing slogans, while 3,000 onlookers cheered them on. Dances are being arranged to pay | expenses of the strike and to spread it to surrounding counties. The men are determined to stay on strike, having already forced the county relief administration to grant relief to all strikers which is “Th strike,” Isaac continued, “be- gan spontaneously on March 1% in excess of the present starvation C.W.A. wage scale.

The workers ga ered in small groups in the plant discussing the possibility of strik- ing over the heads of the A.

One of the first organizations to | send tourists into the Soviet Union. has arranged tions of workers and students for the May Day celebration and other important events held in the U. S S. R. This year a student delega- tion is being organized and. the delegation from the Friends of the | Soviet Union is being booked through this agency. One of the features of the World Tourists’ service includes the privi- | lege of sending workers who want rest cures to the sanatoriums in the Caucasus and the Crimea at a very low rate. This rate includes the rail transportation from the Soviet | border to the rest home, as well as | return transportation to the border. Only a limited number of workers can be sent so as to reserve the facilities for those who actually need the cure. Medical attention and treatment are provided at no additional cost. World Tourists, Inc., also arranges combination Soviet and European tours at very moderate rates.

Dawson, who has been appointed manager of the So- | viet travel department, was former- < ly connected with the New York ; offices of Intourist, Inc., when this organization was first established in the United States.
