By MARGUERITE YOUNG (Daily Worker Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.—Sen- ator Robert F. Wagner announced today that he will amend his labor disputes bill to make it apply speci- fically against labor unions engag- ing in any activities that may be considered “coercive” or “unfair labor practices.” This will make the bill more openly a strike-breaking weapon. It will give the National Labor Board carte blanche to declare any labor union activities “unfair labor prac- tice,” and to provide heavy penal- ties for them, enforcing them through court injunctions. Wagner gave the promise to meet a demand raised in the Senate labor following declaration in the auto agreement, that the “Government’s duty is to secure absolute and uninfluenced freedom of choice without coercion, restraint or intimidation from any source,” discloses precisely whom the Government will accuse of “co- ercing” — the independent labor unions, instead of the employers who are notorious for coercing employes into company unions. Two more militant labor spokes- men arrived today to testify against the Wagner bill. Pat Cush, Presi- dent of the Steel and Metal Work- ers Industrial Union, and Joe Kiss, Secretary of the Furniture Work- ers Industrial Union, personally re- ceived assurance that they will be heard tomorrow. indicates anew that the Adminis- tration is keeping the Wagner bill wave reaches a stage that employ- ers consider necessitates a new silk- encased iron club for them. reactionary business leaders, con- (Continued on Page 2) NEW YORK, TUESDAY, MARCH 27, 1934 Roosevelt ‘Settlement’ Is Victory for Auto Company Unions; Workers Unite Your Ranks Against Sell-Out!

The total amount of world trade is now about one-third of what is was in 1929, having dropped more than 66 per cent since January, 1929. In certain countries car loadings rose, with transportation generally showing some improvement over last year, due to ments stocking up for inflationary rises and war prep- arations. In addition, there was some movement in ship tonnage. In the struggle for trade, Japan succeeded in outstripping Britain, her tonnage cleared still main- taining its lead over the world. The state of world trade, thus, indicates that whatever improve- ment is taking place in various sections of several countries, the general world crisis of capitalism ers.
