For that very rea- son, the struggle of the U, S. S. R. for the maintenance of peace is becoming more insistent and also more successful. Irrefutable proof of this is the signature for the prolongation of non-aggression pacts with our Baltic neighbors, to end in 1945,” Quotes Litvinoff “Pravda’ further quotes the words of Litvinoff’s speech, made at the time of the signing of the protocol: “The war danger threatening all five parts of the world is spoken and written of day to day but hardly anything is heard about the chances and means of preventing this catastrophe which is advancing upon humanity. Government states- men regard it with a sort of fatalism, as something quite unavoidable; the only thing they can think of is a general re-armament race, arma- ments which in the past not only did not prevent wars but stim- ulated them.” Attacks Fascist War Plans In mentioning the disarmament conference, “Pravda” points out that the latter “leaves only a heap of paper. The mad race for arma- ments is proceeding throughout the whole world, in some countries se- cretly and in others openly. The muddy wave of chauvinism and na- tionalism is rising ever higher. The Fascist ‘saviors of mankind’ openly advocate the necessity of letting blood under the pretext of various ‘race theories.’ The rabid persecu- tion of toilers by ruling classes in all capitalist lands is proceeding; peoples are being set against each other. “Tt is not accidental,” says “Pravda,” “that the Soviet govern- ment made this offer to its Baltic neighbors. This sector of Eastern Europe has proved particularly threatening, due to the efforts of various shady adventurers like the Messrs. Rosenbergs, who regard the Baltic countries as a public thoroughfare and drill ground for carrying out their plans to ‘advance east.” “The U. 8S. S. R. is interested in peace, the maintenance of her fron- tiers and the consolidation of the independence of the Baltic coun- tries. Peace in the Baltic sector of Eastern Europe may be violated by other states. Therefore the Moscow protocol would acquire greater force | if other states would also join the \nitiative of the Soviet government. “But, whatever the policy of other states independent of it, the U. 8. S. R. will continue its struggle for the maintenance of peace. The| U. 8. S. R. has once more showed an example of its struggle for peace. The Soviet toilers, confident of their strength, have once again showed that they are the strongest bulwark for peace.” > Chicago Police Jail 8 Demanding Relief ILD to Defend Arrested Workers (Daily Worker Midwest Burean) CHICAGO, April 5—A committee of eight workers representing the Unemployed Council Local 8 were twice arrested when they demanded @ long neglected relief case be taken care of at once by the Humboldt Park relief station Tuesday after- noon. ~ After forcing their way into the staticn to demand that John Lauri- suk and his family be fed, the com- mittee was arrested, reelased at the police station and arrested again when they immediately returned to the relief bureau. The committee was led by Herman Schneider, militant unemployed leader, The Humboldt Park relief Station is noted for the lower aver- age of aid it deals out, far below the average of other stations. The supervisor, Evelyn Byron, is also no- torious for her indifference to the plight of the unemployed. The arrested workers are now at the llth Street police station and will be defended by the Interna- tional Labor Defense.

The garage | chairmen will also work out plans | for a struggle against the blacklist and the revocation of licenses of | drivers who were arrested on the | Picket line. An attempt to foist a company union on the hackmen of the Pub- lic Cab Corp., a section of the Radio Fleet, at Witlock and Longfellow Aves., Bronx, failed Wednesday afternoon. The dispatcher of the garage, Mr. Goldberg, called 60 day men to- gether in the garage at 1 p.m. and| 70 night men at 5 p.m. where he lectured them on the “necessity of | forming a new organization” which he proposed to call the Public Cab Corporation Employees Chapter. | Goldberg told the drivers that | the new organization would have on its board four representatives of the company and five for the driv- ers. He said that he had worked out an insurance scheme and that the men would have to pay 25 cents Ja week dues. The hackmen unanimously ob- jected to this new company union. | When asked if this organization would be affiliated to all Radio ga- rages, Goldberg answered, “No.” Asked if a driver could go to work in another Radio garage if he was fired out of the Public Cab Chap- | ter, Goldberg again answered, “No.” Goldberg asked the drivers to | vote to accept the company union. | Nobody voted for it. He said that} jhe will hold secret balloting Fri- | day, where all drivers must cast |their vote as to what union they | wish to represent them. “If you reject the chapter you) will only get two days work a week,” | said Goldberg in a threatening at- j titude.

While Collins and Thompson have been soft-soaping workers, throw- ing overboard their demands for a 20 per cent increase in wages voted several weeks ago, the company has been cutting wages, firing militant workers and planting its stool- pigeons on the executive committee of the local union. The revolt flared into the open when the local union called a mass meeting last night to consider a) strike action over the bitter opposi- | tion of Collins and Thompson. At the meeting held at Amity Temple members of the local booed and} howled down Collins when he tried | to throw cold water on the strike| sentiment. He was frequently in-| terrupted by calls, “What about our| 20 per cent increase?” And when he urged the men to have their com- mittee go to the company office and get things straightened out there, Moyer, fighting vice-presi- dent of the local, jumped up and said, “That's all we have been do- ing. We want action!” Collins tried to incite the workers by holding up leaflets issued by the rank and file movement of the Motor Products local union and launched an attack on Communists, but he didn’t succeed. This morning, after walking out, workers held another meeting in Amity Temple, where Moyer called for mass picketing to keep the plant shut tight. Picket captains were elected and lines were thrown around both gates, with women and young workers predominant among the pickets, The strikers followed the mili- tant tactics of the A. W. U., which led a successful Motor Products strike last year. The A. W. U. gave its fullest support to the struggle, calling on all strikers to elect a broad rank and file strike commit- tee representing every department and to spread a walkout ‘to the Briggs, Hudson and other plants.) ew NEW YORK.—A dispatch in yes- terday’s capitalist papers quoted Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, as saying, “There is no strike Wave.” This cool denial of the facts, is evidently only the expression of a wish by this strikebreaking lady, as the following summary reports of strikes throughout the country amply indicate: . * « 2,000 OUT AT DRYDEN RUBBER COMPANY (Special to the Daily Worker) CHICAGO, April 5—The entire Plant of 2,000 workers walked out on strike at the Dryden Rubber Co. factory, 1014 South Kildare Ave., this morning demanding a 20 per cent increase in wages.

The discrimination against Mr. Briggs is not a particular or iso- lated case, the bank’s spokesman, a Mr. Howe, told the delegation. Discrimination against Negroes is general, he suavely continued, failing however, to explain that it is fostered by the banks and other capitalist institutions. The city and federal government also dis- criminates against, Negroes, as we all know, he knowingly winked at the delegation, “We are not doing in serving a notice on Mr. Briggs to vacate the premises at 425 East 6th St.” Tenants Declare for Social Equality. The delegation, headed by Hy Kroll, and including Sonia Shernoff, Sam Posner and Briggs, retorted that the tenants of 425 East 6th St. are unalterably opposed to any racial discrimination, and were active fighters for complete social, Political and economic equality of the Negro people. They were or- ganized and would refuse to pay any rent until the eviction notice was withdrawn, and would picket the house and the bank and mobilize the widest masses of white and Ne- gro workers against the bank's chauvinist atack on the Negro people.

Address: Daily Worker, 50 E. 13th St. plant, at 4003 W. Roosevelt Road, to decide on their next move. The workers met last Saturday, and yesterday presented their de- mand for a wage increase to the president of the firm, George B. Dryden. Mr. Dryden was the or- ganizer of the company union, known as the Dryden Rubber Com- pany Employees’ Club. The strike was forced on company union Officials by the rank and file. The company union president now claims the organization is not &@ union but merely “an employees aro @ present head of the “club” was put in that office by Dryden. Most of the girls, who make up one- hird of the workers, are not being involved in the strike, though they are all out. Militant workers are urging the formation of rank and file committees to turn the. strike into one for both wage increases and real workers’ union recognition. ere Airplane Bosses Hunt for Scabs BUFFALO, N. Y., April 5—The Consolidated Aircraft Co. has sent a letter to each striker wailing about operating losses and begging the men to give up their strike. This in spite of the fact that the com- pany’s profits had increased in one year 42.6 per cent as a result of juicy war contracts, The Consolidated letter discloses that contracts have just been placed and that the company must fulfil them, so that the strikers have now a@ powerful weapon in their hands in holding out for their demands. A mass picket line surrounds the Curtiss plant 24 hours a day. The sentiment in support of the strikers is such that both companies failed to get scabs in the city. The Con- solidated Aircraft Co. is completely closed. The Curtiss is still attempt- ing to operate and brought in 30 strikebreakers from Bristol, Pa. Three workers, upon finding that the plant is on strike, quit and) joined the strikers. They say that the other men also want to quit, but the company refuses to pay the workers their fare home. The union sent a committee to demand that the company pay the workers their fare home. Two work- ers got their fare, The third worker refused to ride in the company’s car to the station and demanded cash. This worker has sworn out an affidavit stating that the com- pany did not inform him that he was hired to break the strike of the aircraft workers.

This number constitutes more than 11 per cent of all the 50,000 workers “employed in gainful oc- cupations” in the city. There are about 30,000 families in Camden. Three thousand workers are on strike at the New York Shipbuild- ing Company, 2,000 at the Campbell Soup Company and about 600 at the Radio Condenser Co. Following the threat of “armed defense” made against the pickets by Dorrance, president of the Campbell Soup Co,, Mayor Stewart of Camden hastened to appoint 22 strikebreakers inside the plant as special officers, and is preparing to issue permits to 20 more scabs to carry firearms. A strike is looming in the Victor Co, plant, of 7,000 workers. eis eae New York Workers Aid Phila, Knitgoods Strike NEW YORK.—At the mass meet~ ing called by the Knitgoods Work- ers Industrial Union in support of the Philadelphia knitgoods workers, over $100 was collected to aid the strikers. A delegation was elected to go to Philadelphia to assist in the strike. The meeting was addressed by Feingold, manager of the Philadel- phia local and others. All the speakers pointed out the importance of united action, and exposed the treacherous role of Mr. McMahon, president of the United Textile Workers Union and of the N. R. A. in interfering with the Philadelphia strike, The meeting discussed prepara- tions for a strike with the expiration of the New York agreements in the knifgoods trade and the necessity of united action of all knitgoods workers regardless of their union affiliation. ae eee Import New York Thugs against Philadelphia Strikers | PHILADELPHIA, April 5. — A reign of police and gangster terror has been instituted against the strikers of the S.

The striking shoe workers of Haver- hill at a meeting this morning de- termined to keep up their struggle for improved conditions and real wage increases. This stand was taken in spite of the announcement that the manufacturers, with the aid of weak elements in the district council of the United Shoe andj Leather Workers Union, succeeded yesterday in carrying through an agreement containing an arbitration clause. ‘The workers are demanding sub- stantial price increases, especially those in the fancy stitching depart- ment, the packing room and the lasting department. When, at the strikers’ meeting this morning, the workers declared that they will stick to their eco- nomic demands, negotiations with manufacturers were broken off. The strikers now realize that the manufacturers are insisting on chiseling wages down, and they are growing more determined than ever to carry on their struggle until con- ditions and wages are actually im- proved. katman ee See Win 10 to 12 Per Cent Pay Raise NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 5. — A general 10 per cent increase in wages, with a 12 per cent increase for weavers, has been won by work-. ers at the American Mills Co. after a two weeks’ strike.
