Heads’ Sellout “DEFEAT NEW CUTS” Auto Workers Union Expects Betrayal At Washington By WILLIAM WEINSTONE (Special to the Daily Worker.) DETROIT, Mich., March 29. | —‘Defeat the new cuts! Make the companies pay!” Those were the slogans issued by the executive board of the Auto Workers Union last night to discuss the present situation which affects the introduction of the 36-hour week in all plants except Fords, be- ginning March 31. The workers are beginning to realize that with ten per cent in- crease in wages, even if carried out, the cut in hours will mean a cut in pay and added burden upon workers. Meetings and leaflets will be issued on this, and a burning campaign carried through. The shades of Abraham Lincoln were dragged into a meeting of the A. F. of L. Hudson local last night at Amity Hall to warm up the cold reception given to Greer, president of the local, reporting the outcome of the Washington negotiations. Only 300 attended from a member- shin of several thousand. Greer reported a “victory.” . He failed to stir the audience. Whereupon Greer called on Lincoln to helo out, say- ing that when he saw the picture of LincoIn hanging over the desk of Roosevelt, “I. told the President that the auto workers expected a new proclamation of emancipation.” This got applause only from a group of claquers. Distribute Leaflet. The Auto Workers Union leaflet was well distributed at the meeting. It explained the sell-out point by point, and was used by workers at the meeting to check Greer’s state- ments. He later deceptively claimed that the “merit clause,” which gives the employers the right to hire and fire, nullifying protection to union men from discrimination, was with- drawn. A. F. of L. officials still rely on the chauvinistic propaganda to stay the workers from struggle against the agreement. But the real truth is beginning to penetrate the work- ers’ ranks. Many workers are con- sidering the organization of Auto Workers’ Union locals in the plant. A preliminary meeting of the Auto Workers Union was packed last night. The meeting decided on an organizational campaign to line up the plant with a mass meeting next Thursday night. Several hundred workers of the Peninsular Metal Products plant, connected with the Motor Products, struck yesterday against low wages and long hours. The workers are employed from ten to fourteen hours a day, with wages of forty to fifty hours. The workers are unorganized. The A. F. of L. leaders came down to break their strike. Local newspapers are revealing the inside meaning of the Washing- ton agreement, Paul Mallon, Wash- ington correspondent of the Detroit News, today writes: “Those who know expect that the ultimate outgrowth will be an en- tirely new labor set-up based on separate craft guilds (vertical unions) rather than blanket union- ism under the A. F. of L. system. That is what Mr. Roosevelt had in mind when he spoke about a new course in social en; and a new kind of works’ council by in- dustry.” No word has yet been received from Smith, General Secretary of the Mechanics Educational Society, with regard to a joint fight against the sell-out. It will not be surpris- ing if this official will try to soft- peddal the fight on the grounds that it would prejudice the chances of the Mechanics’ Educational Society getting “recognition,” although the MES.A. and all fighting unions will be made to bend their organization to company union domination. Soviet Consul General Takes New York House NEW YORK.—The Soviet govern- ment has leased a large house at 9 East 61st Street, New York, for the Soviet Consulate-General, Leo- nid Tolokonski, Consul General for the U. 8, has taken a five-year lease on the house, the former home of Mrs. Ruth Pratt, and the con- sulate offices will soon open there.

SECRETARIAT, Bosses Urge Auto Action For All Labor Ask Roosevelt Sell-out Be Guide for Break- ing All Strikes By MARGUERITE YOUNG (Daily Worker Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, March 29.—The Probability that the Roosevelt- American Federation of Labor auto strike sell-out agreement will become the permanent and universal formula squelching strikes and strengthening company unions, appeared today, as the Wagner Labor Disputes Bill was headed toward the scrap heap. Henry I. Harriman, president of the Chamber of Commeree of the United States, today made the fol- lowing declaration on the ‘Wagner bill, before the Senate Labor Com- mittee: “The very broad, and very far, interpretation of Section 7-A (of the N.R.A.) given out by the President in connection with the settlement of the automobile strike, in my judgment, makes entirely unneces- sary most of the provisions of the Wagner bill and clearly points the way to the handling of labor dis- putes through the regular enforce- a of the National Industrial Act.” Senator Robert F. Wagner has agreed to amend his bill to include an almost complete legal declara- tion of the company-union-protect- ing, compulsory-arbitration provi- sions of the auto agreement. Never- theless, Harriman contemptuously rejected it and stood pat on the auto agreement without further legisla- tion. Big business, of which Harriman is an official spokesman, objects to (Continued on Page 2) Strike of Haverhill’ Shoe Workers Still Solid; 2 Shops Yield Mayor’s Arbitration Proposal Refused By Strikers (Special to the Daily Worker) HAVERHILL, Mass., March 29— The strike of shoe workers remained solid yesterday, ae oe more shops agreements with representa- strikers.

The rank and file repairmen cir- culated a petition throughout the shop demanding that the so-called brotherhood, the I. R. T. company, call a meeting at once. The com- pany union officials reluctantly agreed to meet last night with the workers. “The fight against the company union begins today,” said an LR.T. worker yesterday. We will build our own union in the I.R.T.” It was reported yesterday that 17 more workers of the repair shop are to be fired this week, These re- ports have greatly incensed the re- pairmen. The workers are also demanding | that the 10 per cent wage cut which was put over on them last year be rescinded. 3,000Shipyard Men: InCamden Hit NRA Strike Arbitration Communist Party Warns Against Bosses’ Plans (Special to the Daily Worker) CAMDEN, N. J.—Despite the an- nouncement that Paul Pattern, con- ciliator for the National Labor Board, is coming here to settle the strike at the New York Shipbuild- ing Co., the 3,000 strikers remain opposed to the “arbitration” of the N.R.A. Board. Strikers yesterday rejected the plan propesed by Bardo, president of the corporation, to increase wages in the form of eight more hours work per week. William Mullin, president of the Industrial Union of Marine ani Ship Building Workers, exposed six months ago in the Daily Worker, is trying to disrupt the strike, al- though he is confined to his bed. He is issuing statements to the press that the strikers are willing to ac- cept the wage scale of 1932 and that Johnson would be the mediator for the strike, ‘The Communist Party issued leaf- lets today warning against all forms of boss “arbitration” and against the American Federation of Labor and the Socialist Party leadership as supporters of the N.R.A. and the bosses. These leaflets were eagerly accepted and discussed. A mass meeting will be held by the C. P. in Camden Monday in support of the strike and proposals on how to win the strike. parties together,” Mayor Dalrymple attempted to smash the strike by urging arbitration. The District Council replied his “assistance is Not necessary.: We will continue to deal with the manufacturers di- rectly.” The Haverhill “Gazette” continued to attack the strikers. Nevertheless, Shoe workers in many centers have expressed their solidarity with the strikers and have contributed to the fund for their relief. While urging arbitration, the manufacturers carefully avoid men- anything increases.

Night CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 29.—| their way to attend the Eighth Na- tional Convention of the Commu- nist Party of the United States, final preparations are being made here to insure an unprecedented working class ceiebration. This is to take place at the giant open mass meeting of the convention, which will be held on Monday night, April 2, at the Music Hall of Public Auditorium. This huge mass meeting will serve the double purpose of declaring to the Cleveland workers the purpose of this historic convention, and sounding a declaration of confidence and support by the Cleveland work- ers in the Communist Party and its Eighth National Convention. All delegations, it was stressed here today, must be in Cleveland not later than Monday morning. These delegations should report without delay to 1524 Prospect Ave. As last minute preparations were under way, the Finnish Federation today expressed its revolutionary greetings and support to the con- vention, declaring: “The membership and the Exec- utive Committee of the Finnish Workers Federation gives its full confidence, recognition and support to the Communist Party, U.S.A. and its leadership in the important and responsible work of leading the daily struggles of the workers.

Harlem Business Men Aid Police Plot, To Frame Workers Scottsboro Rally Trial Transferred to Bronx Court on Wednesday NEW YORK.—Trial of Sam Stein, white worker and one of four white and Negro workers arrested when police smashed with cars, gas bombs and clubs into the March 17 Scottsboro demonstration in Har- Jem was continued yesterday to next Wednesday at 2 o’clock before Judge Earl Smith in the court at 161st Street and Brook Avenue, Bronx. The East 121st Street court was packed to the doors yesterday by Harlem workers, one of the reasons for transference of the case to the Bronx court. Perjured police testimony against the four workers, charged with “dis- orderly conduct” and “inciting to riot” was supplemented by lying testimony of Harlem white and Negro business men, including the proprietor of a booze joint at 340 Lenox Avenue, and a _ religious candle peddlar at 324 Lenox Avenue. During the day Defense Attorney Kuntz of the International Labor Defense obtained a subpoena for Chief Inspector Valentine, over the strenuous protests of the presiding magistrate, who had signed the subpoena without being aware it was directed at the police official. Sam Stein, whose case was the first to be tried, was threatened by the District Attorney who, seeing him smiling at the ridiculous testimony of the police witnesses, told him, “Don't worry, you will get it.” With delegates from many cities| throughout the country already on/| Disrupter Voted Down By Taxi Drivers | at Mass Meet ~ para Chicago CWA Heads Try to Keep Workers From Protest Parade (Midwest Bureau Daily Worker) CHICAGO, March 29.—In an attempt to keep C.
