INABLE to break the mil firmness of the taxi strikers, the LaGuardia government and the taxi owners, are followi icy of divide and conquer. Every move y now is an effort to split the ranks of the strik The taxi drivers have won the admiration of all workers by their heroic strike against com} unions and slave conditions. They have followed the correct strategy Their militant picketing drove the bosses into a frenzy. Now how do the companies hope to beat the | strike? How do they propose to defeat the major | issue of organization? They hope to achieve a rout | of the strike by splitting the ranks of the workers. This is what Tammany Hall, LaGuardia and the Socialist leaders have in common. That is why row the cry of Communism and Communist leaders is raised. The Communists have been and are the best fighters in the strike of the taxi workers. They have fought for the unity of the workers regardless of political beliefs. The Com- munists have mobilized mass support for the taxi Strikers, and participated in all their militant alc- tions to win the strike for the demand of union recognition and better conditions. Because the bosses know are the cement which binds t the the Communists united front of the workers is the n why their main blows | are directed against them. They feel if they can smash this powerful uniting e, can wean, cajole, bluff the workers away from united action | with the Communists, the most decisive splitting blow will have been achieved. HEN they feel they can defeat the workers’ desire for united organization. | The Communist Party has been the only poli- tical party that has supported the taxi strike one hundred per cent. The Communist Party mobilized its members behind the strike, using all its forces, its press, particularly the Daily Worker, to main- tain united ranks and to win the strike. No wonder the venom and poison of the bosses Was so copious against the Communist Party! Every taxi driver should look this question squarely in the face, They want to split your ranks to defeat your strike. To split the ranks they direct their fire against the Communists who are the most determined to keep the ranks united and win the strike. Resist this splitting policy! Keep your ranks solid and win the victory of or- ganization and union recognition! Whoever tries to split the ranks of the taxi drivers now is their enemy no matter what label he bears! The Wagner Bill and Its Social-Fascist Friends OLITICAL events move with lightning speed these day: Seven days ago, to be exact on March 22, William Green broadcasted a fervent Speech over the National Broadcasting System sup- porting the Wagner strikebreaking bill as a great boon to labor. On March 28, the same William Green threatens an about face. “The A. F. of L. will withdraw support from the Wagner Labor Board bill if it is amended to approve company- Promoted shop unions,” said the Associated Press. “Definite word to this effect was given to Senator ‘Wagner today by William Green.” Mr. Green yearns to continue supporting the ‘Wagner Bill, as fundamentally it expresses the wish of the A. F. of L. officialdom to crack down on strike struggles. But for the sake of appearances he now makes a pretense of “withdrawing” ap- proval. He maneuvers with Senator Wagner for face-saving wording in the bill, without affecting its basic, anti-strike and company slave union pur- pose. The rising strikes, growing disillusionment with the N.R.A,, forces the Roosevelt strikebreaking and company slave union government to show its fangs more openly, stripping away the demagogic verbiage of the Wagner Bill. What the Communist Party declared about the Wagner Bill, what Bill Dunne, the representative of the Trade Union Unity League flung into the teeth of the Senate Labor Committee, has now be- come so clear that William Green & Co. are running to protective cover. They want company slave union bills in the form of N.R.A., or the National Labor Board, or the Wagner Bill, but they require plenty of lying demagogy to conceal the real aims. When the big steel trust and auto manufacturers iation of Manufacturers de- mand of Senator Wagner that he achieve the pur- poses of his bill with less promises to the workers which at times become dangerous) William Green ooks for a convenient fire escape. (OR is Mr. Green and the A. F. of L. strikebreakers alone in their support of the main aims of the Wagner Bill. On March 17, Mr. Norman Thomas pleaded with might and main for the passage af this bill, which Senator Wagner now says in n@ wise cks the company slave unions. “Socialists, trade unionists, and all friends of labor and justice should fight for all they are worth for the Wagner Bill to abolish company unions.” Mr. Norman Thomas hasn’t had time yet to cover up his vicious support for a bill which is now clearly becoming the most. monstrous anti-labor, strikebreaking, and pro-company union slave act ever advanced in the United States. There is no doubt that the ojly reverend will have a lot to say about the “amendments” which “vitiate” the original intention of the measure. HAT is precisely the means by which the social- fascists—that is, the A. F. of L. leaders and the Soc’ it Party officialdom—tried to bind the work- ers to the slave codes of the N.R.A. In the process of creating anti-working class legislation, the crafty bosses always cover it up as an advantage to labor. And who performs this role for them among the workers? It is the social-fascists, the A. F. of L. and Socialist leaders. They tell the workers not to strike, to wait, to be patient, to delay. First it was: “The N.R.A. will raise your wages.” Then it became: “Now is not the time to strike’ (Norman Thomas.) They urged the workers to depend on the National Labor Board. Then when the workers feel the treacherous experience of the Weirton, Budd and Ford betrayals, the Socialist leaders plead for still more delay to await the passage of the Wagner strikebreaking bill. The Wagner bill was introduced on the eve of the threatening auto strike. The workers were be- coming disillusioned with the N.R.A. and the whole Policy of the National Labor Board. They were striking against company unions, and against N.R.A. codes. The bill was designed to force compulsory ar- bitration on them, and to keep them from striking against the company unions. This aim was to be achieved by phrases ostensibly directed against the company unions. Then came the swift blow of Roosevelt's strikebreaking and pro-company slave union deeds in the auto industry. And the social-fascists, to keep the workers from struggling, to keep them from resisting every new anti-labor measure, support whatever step the Roosevelt government takes. Nothing could be stronger than Norman Thomas's Pleading to “fight for all they are worth” for the Wagner Bill. Now the rats begin to desert the Wagner ship because the workers see that it carries the pirate flag, the skull and cross bones of hunger, starvation and strikebreaking. But these rats have been and will continue to gnaw at the fighting strength of the workers. The Communist Party, which was in the fore- front of the struggle against the N-R.A, the only Party which really exposed and fought against the miserable conditions and company slave unions bred by the N.R.A., from the very beginning directed a heavy attack on the Wagner Bill. The Commu- nist Party from the very beginning stripped it of all its phrases and laid its company slave union and strikebreaking purposes bare, The Communist Party called on all workers to form a united front against this anti-labor bill when the Socialist Party leaders and the A. F. of L. betrayers were pleading for its passage. * . . 'HERE is little doubt now, taking the cue from Mr. Green, the Socialist leaders will declare that the big bosses have tainted the Wagner Bill. But every A. F. of L. and Socialist Party mem- ber should ask himself: How does it come about thet every measure of the Roosevelt regime that has harrassed the workers, lowered their wages, in- terfered with their organization, advanced the com- pany slave unions, at first received the enthusias- tie support of their leaders? No matter what the legal niceties of the phras- ing of the Wagner Bill, may finally be, it will be used to break strikes and build up the company slave unions. There must be a united front of all workers against the growing anti-labor deeds of the Roose- velt government. The treacherous support to these measures by Messrs. Green, Thomas & Co. should be repudiated by all workers, regardless of political affiliation. No matter what these gentlemen say now, theirSactions serve the purpose of disarming the workers, of leading them into the traps of the Roosevelt government, of squelching their fighting spirit, their unity and ability to resist. The social-fascists have performed valiant ser- vice for the Roosevelt strikebreaking company slave union government. In this instance, as in every instance, they use pro-labor phrases, and the Socialist leaders use left socialist phrases, always to cover up measures that are growing weapons of fascism. That is why they are social-fascists. That is why no struggle for higher wages, for union organization, for the right to strike, can successfully be won without driving them out of the ranks of labor. Forge a united front of all workers against the Wagner strikebreaking bill. Unite your ranks to defend the right to strike, the right to destroy the company unions, the right to organize into the workers’ own unions for struggles to obtain higher wages and better working conditions, Defeat the growing fascist measures of the Roosevelt regime! BALTIMORE SEAMEN FIGHT MILITANTLY WORK RELIEF PLAN OF THE CITY GOVERNMENT BALTIMORE, Md., March 29— The employed and unemployed sea- men of Baltimore, under the lead-, ership of the Waterfront Unem- ployed Council and the Marine Worke.s Industrial Union, recently forced the relief agencies to allow the administration of relief by elected committees of seamen. The elected committee of seamen filled all positions of the seamen’s administration from the ranks of) bona-fide seamen, and every form of relief that the seamen were able, to wrest from the city and state re-) lief agencies and the federal goy-) ernment was immediately and with-) out discrimination given to the sea- men. As a result, no workers in| the country since the beginning of) the crisis have had such a high) standard of relief. | Establish Shipping Bureau | Realizing their power when united | ing the seamen. behind on> program, the seamen es- tablished a centralized shipping bu- reau where all seamen could ship out in their turn through a rotary system. This will do away with black-listing and the buying of jobs from shipping sharks and crimps. The seamen on ships, taking the example from the unemployed in board the ships for better condi- tions and wages. Many ships struck for the marine code proposed by the M.W.LU, AF.L. Begins Attack Pressure was soon brought to bear upon the city, state and fed- eral relief agencies by the AFL. | and Socialist leaders. The attack was begun by President McCurdy of the Baltimore AFL. In a news- paper article he stated that “the seamen on the waterfront were eat- ing turkey and pie . .. and that they even had their own barber to cut their hair.” For the benefit of McCurdy, the seamen state that they also have their own tailor and shoemaker—paid by the C.W.A. The Socialist Party, not to be outdone in what they consider their own role, immediately joined hands with the AFL. leaders in attack- A Socialist speaker at an open-air meeting at Balti- more and Gay Sts., recently said, “The seamen of Baltimore are lead- ing the tax payers of the city around by their noses; we should go down and chase them out of town.” Attempt Work Relief Mr. Greenstein, State Adminis- to replace the seamen’s committee by his charity racketeers, and force a vicious work relief program down the throats of the seamen. In its main poinis, this program was to consist of two day’s work a week at $6 a week. From this seamen would have to feed, clothe and shel- ter themselves. Seamen wouid be sent to various jobs around the city, including jobs previously held by C.W.A. workers, and as strikebreak- ers. In addition, the plan of Green- stein would eliminate all who have no Baltimore discharges papers, force all to submit to a medical ex- amination in order to be eligible for relief, and at the end of a month, they would be thrown off relief. At mass meetings the seamen em- phatically opposed such a program, and threatened an immediate strike on all such forced labor schemes if instituted, and to fight any at- tempts to take the administration of relief from the seamen’s com- mittees. An elected committee im- | mediately drew up a plan calling for the 1929 wage scale of $4.50 a day on all stand-by jobs, and other de- mands, the most important calling for no reduction in relief, no forced | labor, and the continuation of the Baltimore, began to take action on| trator of Federal Relief, attempted | seamen’s committees. i a Demonstrate Tomorrow Against Nazi Pogroms ! YCL of Berlin “THERE IS NO MONEY, MR.

Save Ernst | Thaelmann! Red Front! | “Young Communist League of | Germany.” | The flowers lay for an hour be- |fore they were removed. Pee eae Recently a notice was posted up jon a house in Friedland Strasse in | Adlershof, near Berlin, bearing the lin. inscription: “Here lived the Communist member of the Prussian Diet Erich Steinfurth. On February 2 | he was murdered by the State Se- cret Police (Guard Corps). We shall take vengeance for his death by continuing to work in his spirit. “Communist Party.” All the nameplates giving the name of the street were covered by strips with the name: Erich Stein- furth Strasse. Although the police hastened to remove all the inscrip- tions, this effective Communist dem- | onstration made a great impression | all over Adlershof, so that even the Adlershof local rag found itself im- pelled to mention the affair, adding however from its own imagination that the perpetrators had been ar- rested. On February 25, 1933, the anti- fascist Erich Schulz was murdered by the police in Berlin 8. O., Cuvry- strasse. On the anniversary of his murder leaflets were distributed in the adjacent streets and houses, calling upon the workers to con- tinue the anti-fascist struggle as the murdered comrade had carried it on. After dark, a banner was flown in the Goerlitzerstrasse, where Com- rade Schulz had lived. The banner was illuminated by a magnesia flare, and it was a quarter of an hour before the Storm Troops, hurriedly sent for, had removed the demon- stration.

Roosevelt by Burck Austrian Republican Guard Units and Workers Organizations Join Communist Party in Solid Groups VIENNA, March 15 (By Mail)- In one important district the fol- lowing Social Democratic workers have gone over to the Austrian Communist Party. The Second Dis- trict leader of the Republican Guards (the first leader is in prison, and has also declared himself for the Communist Party); four com- pany commanders, 16 squad and group leaders and 100 members of the Republican Guards. Others de- claring their affiliation to the Com- munist Party are the head leader of the athletes, with about 40 mem- bers; the leader of the footballers, with 15 men; the vice-chairman of the Socialist Working Youth, the second leader of the trade union. The following declaration has been issued by the new members: “We, the asesmbled group lead- ers and former functionaries of the Republican Guard, are com- pletely in agreement with the opinion of the Communist Party with regard to the uprising. We warn the workers against the formation of a so-called radical Socialist Party, of ‘labor alliances’ or Right groups, whose sole ob- ject is to restrain the workers from joining the © Communist Party, and therewith from estab- lishing the real revolutionary united front with the Commu- | nists; such new groups serve only to sidetrack the workers in the interests of the class traitors, the Social Democratic leaders. “We warn the workers against the treacherous maneuvers of the Nazis, who talk about the heroic Republican Guards, but did not fight with them, and who col- laborate with the blood-stained Dollfuss government. “We undertake to apply our ut- most powers for the overthrow of capitalism and for the organiza- tion of the proletarian revolution, and call upon the class-conscious workers to join the sole revolu- tionary workers’ party, the Com- munist Party of Austria. | “We shall avemge our murdered and betrayed brothers! “Long live the coming Bolshe- vist October! “Long live the Communist In- ternational! “THE FORMER LEADERS OF THE REPUBLICAN GUARD.” One thousand copies of this reso- lution were duplicated and dis- | tributed. In this district 200 more Republican Guards are about to join the Communist Party. At W., near Vienna, a group of |the Young Communist League has |been formed by ten youths and jthree girls, former members of the Socialist Working Youth. In one district, where there has hitherto been no organization of the |Communist Party, two street nuclei ‘have been formed in B. (one with |nine members, the other with ten), /and a factory cell has been formed jin an important metal working un- dertaking. | In P. a local group has been formed of 18 former members of \the Socialist Party.
