It is now up to us to keep hammering away on the three-point program. Winning a few measly dollars in compensation is not all.

Fascism is the en- emy of the veterans and the work- ers, regardless of the color of its shirt. Crusaders Against the Bonus The crusaders, a group like the National Economy League and the American .Veterans Association, is becoming active these days in the line-up of the enemies of the vets. They recently advised their mem- bers (?) to write their Senators and Congressmen to vote against the bonus. This oufit, like all the “economy groups” is mainly inter- ested in protecting the bankers and industrialists, at the expense of the workers and ex-servicemen. Against War and Fascism April 6th is the 17th anniversary of America’s entry into the last world slaughter. The rewards of the vets for their part in making the world safe for hypocrisy is un- employment, no relief, no bonus, no hospitalization, and bread lines. Do you think they will get us again, buddy? Rank says, “Not while we are conscious.” In New York the W.ES.L. and the rank and file ex-servicemen will answer the growing ballyhoo for another imperialist war with a huge demonstration against war and fas- cism, This will be a big day for New York and I understand the workers and ex-servicemen in other parts of the country will do like- wise. The boys are rarin’ to go and can be seen almost any day limbering up their flat feet with squads east, The National Office of the W. E. 8. L. is starting a book drive to supply the posts with reading and reference material. All comrades, workers and intellectuals who real- ize the importance of the veteran movement are asked to donate any books they can spare.

F. of Con- vention” was well received. When William Green learned that the Spokané Central Trades Coun- cil was arranging a mass meeting at which Weinstock was to speak, he immediately sent a telegram in- structing them that they should not sponsor the unemployment insur- ance meeting. Weinstock appeared before the Central Body, was grant- ed the floor, Green’s telegram was rejected, and the Central Body without a dissenting vote endorsed the rank and file program and the mass meeting. A. F. of L. Officials Repudiated In Oakland, California, on the day that the mass meeting was to have been held, the official organ of the A. F. of L, Central Trades Council published a screaming headline stating that Weinstock is not a member of the A. F. of L. The mass meeting repudiated this statement, and from the workers present a committee was elected to demand | that the editors publish a retrac- tion or the local unions would refuse to support the paper. While in California, Weinstock visited Tom Mooney in San Quen- tin prison, who gave his unqualified support to the rank and file program and endorsed the Workers Bill, H.R. 7598. Seventeen locals of the A. F. of L. called the mass meeting in Kan- sas City. As the meeting was in progress, Nelson, former secretary of the Central Trades Council, in- terrupted the speaker, attempted to break up the meeting, and provoked a fight. After it was finally neces- sary to eject him, he returned in a few minutes with police and detec- tives, who, without provocation, started to brutally assault the work- ers. Weinstock and Carter, an offi- cial representative of the A. F. of L. painters local, were arrested. The workers followed them to the court, where Weinstock was charged with “sladering William Green.” The presence of the workers in the court forced the immediate release of the | two workers, and the meeting was resumed at Musicians Hall. Prepare for 54th A. F. of L. Convention ¢ One of the purposes of the tour was to organize a strong rank and file group for the 54th convention of the A. F. of L., which will be held in San Francisco the first week in| October. Simultaneously, the third annual rank and file convention will be held in the same city. Delegates will be elected to both conventions from the cities visited, and the workers have pledged themselves to take the floor in the 54th A. F. of L. convention and fight for the program of the rank and file. New Folding Chairs JOHN KALMUS OO, Inc. 35 W. 26th St. MUrray Hill 4-5447 Office and School Equipment NEW and USED Tonight...

Supports Taxicab Strikers; Hits Jimcrowism NEW YORK—The League of Struggle for Negro Rights, at its membership meeting last Thursday at the Y.M.C.A., 180 W. 135th St., pledged the entire membership to support the strike of the taxi drivers and denounced the discrimination Policy of the taxi companies against Negro drivers. I. Peters, of the L. S. N. R. addressed a large meeting of striking drivers at Rockland Pal- ace, a few days ago, and a com- mittee of strikers attended the gen- eral membership meeting of the L. S. N, R. A statement issued by the League declares: “The Parmelee, as well as all the other companies, practices the rank- est discrimination against the Ne- gro drivers. Their garage at 140th St. and Fifth Ave. is an all-Negro garage, and their garage a few blocks away at 155th St. is an all- white garage. The white drivers use yellow cabs, and the Negro drivers are forced to use cars of a different color—white and tan. In Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cleveland and other cities, the discrimination is carried to even greater lengths— |at the railroad stations the white | drivers wait for fares in one line {and the Negro drivers in another, A white passenger can only take a cab driven by a white man. The League of Struggle for Negro Rights supports the Taxi Drivers Union, conducting the present strike, in its fight against this discrimination besides their demand of no com- pany union. “The taxi strikers work long hours for very small wages, and then they never know what they will get after a day’s run. The Parmelee men work from 6 a.m. till 4 p.m. five days a week and on the sixth day, from 7 am. to 7 pm., averaging only $10 to $14 a week.

Only those who can prove their “absolute need” are | given work, and this “amount” is definitely limited to enough for a bare existence. One worker, with six children, was also given a slip which said he was to be given no more than 48 hours work for the whole month at 60c an hour. He was, of course, to re- ceive no other relief during the month, The slips given out for April are made in blank, all carrying the words, “to be given work, not to exceed hours.” The number of hours that will be given can be estimated from the amount given this worker with the large family. Workers with fewer children will undoubtedly receive far less.
