ee DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1934 New York April 8) Meet To Demand Work for CWA Men (Continued from Page ¥) lished by Roosevelt's ©. W. A.| Skilled workers suffer as much as 50 per cent cut limiting their wages to $15 a week. White collar workers have been cut seven per cant. On the Brooklyn projects, where militant actions were carried| through by the C. W. A. workers in resisting the first wage cut last Jan- uary, large mobilizations of police | are concentrated to terrorize the| workers. Radio squad cars are kept | on constant duty. Fences have been built around the offices, and the werkers are led to the offices in small groups to be fired. Hit Negro Discrimination In Dykers Beach Park, Brooklyn the scene of many struggles of the | an attempt to Jim-Crow all on the job. On Wednesday, one | of the superintendents took the | numbers of all the Negro workers, | gathered them in one gang, and | Placed a Negro supervisor over | them, stating that he wished to| make one of the’ Negro workers a | supervisor. To this the workers | answered: “If you want to make | a Negro supervisor. give him a gang | of Negro and white workers, not a Jim-Crow gang.” As the workers prepared to go in a body to the offices to protest this Jim-Crowism, the supervisor was forced to again send the Negro workers back to their original work gangs | Refusing to return their tools. 45 C.W.A. workers on C.W.A. project | 13, Gun Hill Road and Kingsbridge Ave., Bronx. have been picketing the administration building at 188th St. and Webster Ave. for the past | three days. ‘When they were fired on Monday, they refused to accept their dis- charge,-and the superintendent was | forced to pay them for the day. ; Today, at 9 A.M., they will march | on Hodson's office bearing their picks and shovels. These workers ask that all fired C.W.A. workers and jobless workers join them in the demand for jobs or cash relief. Philadelphia’ Demonstration Today | PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Employed, unemployed, and C.W.A. workers will mass at Raeburn Plaza at 1 p.m. today in protest against the city scheme of forced labor for re- lief. The workers will demand the re- gular union wages, C.W.A. jobs for all jobless workers, and increases in relief to meet the rising cost of living. The workers will also de- mand that the relief board pay the rents of the unemployed. and sup- ply adequate clothing and shoes. In addition, the workers are demand- ing that the city buy surplus milk from the poor farmers, as the farm- ers proposed at the Milk hearing on Thursday, and distribute it to the unemployed. If the present intentions of the city officials are carried out, single workers and many workers with families wiil not get even the mis- erable $7.20 for which the forced labor scheme calls. witnesses Harry Raymond's Trial Postponed to Tuesday NEW YORK.—The case of Harry Raymond, Daily Worker staff writer charged with “criminal libel” for exposing the strike-breaker, George Williams, was postponed yesterday until Tuesday morning, In the Magistrate's Court at Sixth Ave. and 10th St., Raymond's lawyer, Edward Kuntz, of the In- ternational Labor Defense, asked for an adjournment of several weeks | in order to obtain affidavits and from different parts or | the country to prove Williams’ no- torious record as a stTike-breaker | and labor - racketeer. Magistrate | Irwin refused to hear Kuntz’ rea- sons for journment Williams’ lawyer complained that the Daily Worker had urged work- | ers to pack the courtroom in oréer, | he said, “to create a disturbance, Minneapolis CWA Men Face Machine Guns; Ask Jobs (Continued from Page 1) workers faced the police clubs, broke through the police lines and slashed the hoses. Follows Monday's Demonstration The demonstration, which had been planned by the workers for several days, followed a_ similar | demonstration on Monday, in which| Drivers Union. They were urged to 8,000 workers broke through the full mobilization of police, smashed | down the doors of the City Hall, and demanded that the workers be heard. The workers had demanded | an open hearing on relief be held) | at the City Auditorium, stating that | they would again march on the City Hall unless the hearing was held at which workers could voice their grievances. | Early today, the workers mobi- lized for the march. As they con- verged on City Hall, they were| confronted with a full mobilization of police. Carrying banners, shout- | ing slogans, “We want bread! We! demand that C.W.A. continue! We| demand jobs!” the workers surged forward in orderly disciplined ranks. As the stream of workers gath-| ered at the Court House and City Hall, snarling traffic, and stretch- ing for blocks in a packed solid mass, the police started their at-| tack. Speakers were pulled from platforms to the mounting anger of the workers. Tear gas bombs, hurl- jed into the crowd of workers, were | hurled back at the police. Fire! | trucks bore down on the helpless | workers, and streams of water were poured on the demonstrators. | Finally to intimidate the militant demonstrators, machine guns were | placed on the Court House and the City Hall. i City Refuses Relief The City Council, meanwhile, had refused to pass a motion to grant the workers’ demands for 40 per | cent increase in relief, C.W.A. jobs for all the unemployed at union rates of pay, and immediate cash relief. Fearing for the safety of the fire equipment, Fire Chief Trager at frst refused to turn the powerful streams of water on the workers saying, “they might wreck the fire equipment.” Juvenile, district and Municipal Courts were closed soon after the workers gathered at the Court House and City Hall. Flatly refused any help by the city, the workers determined to re- DR.

Workers demanding that |@ united front of all workers be built up to support the strike are being threatened with expulsion. Must Build United Front Such action on the part of the leaders when the entire city of Cam- den vibrates with struggle is a se- Tious danger to the strike. Workers in the union must see to it that the strongest form of a united front be built up. The broadest form of democracy must exist in the union. To assure success in the strike a rank and file strike committee re- Presenting all the workers must be set up through democratic elections ; to lead the struggle. Redio Strike Continues The strike of 800 workers in the Radio Condenser Company for wage increases and union recognition still continues under the leadership of the Radio Workers Industrial Union. Police Attack Strikers ‘The Campbell Soup Co. strikers are being prevented by police from even speaking to scabs entering the plant.

F. of L. if they paid $5 apiece The men paid the money, but the never got their charter nor was their money returned. | Warned to Avoid Trap ! Taxi drivers were warned yester- day by old drivers who had ex- perience with the A.

Garage Chairmen Meet Late today the garage chairmen of the union were meeting at the union hall, 323 W. Thirty-Eighth | Street to hear an organizational re- port from Gilbert and to work out Plants to strengthen the garage committees. The Workers International Relief announced that the organization has arranged to distribute milk and relief to the wives and kids of the blacklisted and unemployed hack- men. A corps of physicians, work- ing under the auspices of the W.LR. will give free medical attention to hackmen and their families. ‘Roy Hudson in Fiery Talk at CP. Convention (Continued from Page 1) | Hudson, “the reformist leaders were ; not able to make any advances. They were not able to record growth. We were the ones who led struggles! and built our union. This by no means signifies that we overlook |them, and do not fight against | them. We have not done enough | of this. This danger is growing and we must be constantly on the alert to meet it.” Hudson's speech was an example of Bolshevik determination and| firmness to have faith in the line of the Party and to apply it. He lashed into every looseness in ap- plying the Open Letter, castigating sharply those who mouthed phrases | about the Open Letter but did not carry it into execution. “To some,” he said, “the Open Letter is a secret letter.” “By no means,” he emphasized, “can we be satisfied with what gains we have made. | “This convention proves how cor- rect the Open Letter is, and that the Party has begun to put it into effect. But it is only a beginning. “One result is right here. We | have a convention like we never had before in the history of the Party. “But we have been slow. Out of this convention must come the de- termination, grown out of the fact. that it is possible for us to realize the tasks we set ourselves, must come the will to move 100 per cent faster. “We have the policy. We have the experience. We have the forces. These forces are to be seen at this convention, comrades. “TI say with this experience, united behind the line of the Party pre- sented to the convention by Com- rade Browder, with Comrade Brow- der leading us, we can and we will go forward to win the masses of American workers. We will go for- ward to a Soviet America!” Every word uttered by Comrade Hudson like hammer blows of con- viction drew sparks of enthusiasm running through the entire delega- tion. The thoughts and sentiments so forcefully expressed by Comrade Hudson epitomized the entire spirit and deeds of the convention, tended the meeting. Frank Manning warned the work- ers not to attend, saying the Com- munists want to split the strike, but the real splitter was revealed when Manning ordered the arrest of Pearey Bryant and had him sen- tenced to 6 months in jail. Harry Wicks at mass meeting fur- ther exposed this Socialist leader ‘Manning as a Negro-hater who does not have a single Negro worker on | the Party and 10 steel nuclei.

The Unity Committee, it was re- | Ported, will propose to Sunday’s con- ference, that the rank and file of both the U. M. W. A. and the P.| M. A. form united action commit- tees in all mines, and strike for restoration of the $6.10-a-day basic scale and the seven-hour day. The Illinois Coal Operators’ Asso- ciation has locked out the miners as | a step toward reducing the wages of | 40,000 soft coal miners. | Last night the eight commissions set up by the Convention held meet- ings and discussed their specific problems in detail. These meetings included the following commissions: Negro, Women’s, Literature, Vet- erans, Agrarian, etc. The report today of Comrade | Johnstone, showed the improvement of the work in the Pittsburgh Dis- trict during the past period with the Party membership more than dou- bled, with 1350 Party members at present, with 265 steel workers in are now 1,000 members in the 8. M. W. I. U. after recent losses in that union. There are 13,000 members in over 100 branches of the Unem- ployed Counils of which 4,000 are Negroes. The Party has succeeded | in ‘taking leadership of the unem- ployed movement away from the so- cial Fascist leaders. The campaign for the Workers Unemployment In- surance Bill has progressed. “In the mining industry,” Com- rade Johnstone said, “there is a situation of continuous struggies. The strikes were at first for en- forcement of the N, R. A. but the miners are now disillusioned, the twenty strikes this year being definitely against the N. R. A. In spite of the sell-out features of the agreements signed by the U. M. W. A. leadership, the rank and file under our leadership have: played a big part in forcing the substan- tial concessions which are given in these agreements. The seven hour | day and five day week is a victory. But this only represents ten per cent of the miners, the rest work- ing on tonnage rates. The miners are being robbed of these conces- sions locally and have many local grievances.” The Party has not yet been able to carry out its control tasks, said Comrade Johnstone, for example, the task of recruiting 300 employed miners has not been carried through. The Y. C. L. still has only 1290 mem- bers in the district. Problems of Concentration Comrade Johnstone concluded his report by dealing with the problems of concentration. The Party does not yet fully understand he said, that concentration in the city of Pittsburgh means concentration of every Party and mass organization in the City of Steel, especially in Jones and Laughlin, from without, in addition to the Party’s work within the mills. Comrade John- stone emphasized the necessity of building department organization inside the mills, ‘The experiences in the Chicago! District, Comrade Gebert said in his report, showed the correctness of the Party’s uncomprontising fight against Social Fascism. “It was only when we opened fire on the Social fascists in South- ern Minois,” Comrade Gebert said, “especially on the Musteites, that we made the first inroads among the miners. Now we have over 300 members there, six mine nuclei, 2 mine papers and a Y. ©. L. of 35 members.” The reason advances were not made in Chicago in the A. F. of L, locals was an insuffi- cient fight against Social Fascism. “Only by an uncompromising fight for the line of the Party can we become a mass party and lead the workers struggles. The Party members must be ideologically | | convinced,” he said, “of the neces- | sity of work in the A. F, of L. and | this exposure of the Social fascists there.” Comrade Gebert deplared that tne fight against war and the defense of the Soviet Union had not been sufficiently brought forward in tne discussion, Especially has this work been neglected in the shops. “Since the open letter,” Com- rade Gebert continued, “‘the Party has led strikes, and was an active force in the Centralia, Til, gen- eral strike, where jt gaimed the support of the Socialist workers. ‘The Party above all increased shop nuclei in Dasic iaustries from 13 to 28, of which five are in steel, six in mining, and four in metal. The total number of shop nuclei has been increased trom 17 to 4% There are now 1,038 Negroes in the Party in the dis- trict, which is 26 per cent of the membership, in a district where 6 per cent of the population is Negro.” Check-Up of Decisions Comrade Gebert dwelt on tne necessity of better control of deci- control tasks of the district, show~- ing what portions had been carried out, He stated that in spite oF progress, the plan has not yet been carried through and that the en- tire Party, from the district leader- ship down, must have a “dally con- sciousness of contro] tasks and con- centration points” in spite of all other tasks, The Chicago Party pledges to establish 7 Y.C.L. shop units by August, he said. Work- his strike committee, although there are many Negroes in the plant. Wicks called on workers to demand @ broad rank and file strike com- mittee. The Communist Party is calling a mass demonstration Saturday at 2:30 p. m., at the Court House to protest against police brutality againt strikers and the move of the Campbell Company to get out an in- junction against the strikers. WALL STREET'S CAPITOL TO APPEAR MONDAY Seymour Waldman’s Wall Street Capitol, which appears regularly on Saturday, will ap- pear in Monday’s 8-page issue instead, ing women, especially in the stock- | yards, metal, etc., must be tecruited in increasing numbers. In the un- employed work, after a decline, the mass movement among the U.W.A. and unemployed, as seen in tne march of 15,000 workers a week ago, is again rising. Scottsboro and Party Recruiting A Negro worker spoke on the ef- tect of the Scottsboro campaign in winning new members to the Party and ILD. Through the Scottsboro case, he said, he joined the Party, | with 15 others, and from this, went on to struggles against evictions and.work in the shops led by tne Party, In his shop, he safi, tne first meeting called had three pres- yopen mass meeting and ‘to secure) 300 into their revolutionary unton from his shop. Comrade Shaw, of the railroad unity committee, declared there are now 5,000 readers of the Unity News whereas in October the circulation was only 2,000, ‘here are forty functioning railroad groups, many of them still loosely organized, He Spoke of the fight for wage in- reases, The work among Negroes, among the railroad workers and the fight against white chauvinism has | been criminally neglected by the} Unity News and the Party, he de- clared. For example, when several firemen were lynched in the South, this should have been made a na- tional campaign. The fight for the immediate demands of the rauroad workers is not sufficiently carried out by the groups, he said. Com- rade Shaw criticized the tendency in some sections against working in the Brootherhood and railroad unions, A marine worker from Boston, one of the leaders of the coal boat strike there, drew the lessons ot ‘Mat sruggie, ied- by the Marine Workers Industrial Union, and 1n- volving fourteen ships. Wage 1n- creases were won and also the Op- portunity to build the M.W.LU, In this strike scabs were secured from the ©.C.C, camps, he said, ‘rhe strike should have been taken up by the Party and M.W.1.U. ana spread in other ports outside Bos- ton he stated, One of the leaders of the Phila- delphia truck workers’ strike spoke on the united tront policy of the Party. The strike was developed into a general strike as a result of the rank and file opposition’s influence, but the AF. of L, International | Brotherhood officials drove the men back to work. The S.P. leaders ex- Posed themselves in this strike, and the Communist Party, and rank in prestige. The workers saw that the Communists were fighting every day for their demands, NRA. Protest Company Unions Senators Told {Continued from Page 1) Walsh didn't even wait for Cush to finish but walked out on him before announcing the adjournment, Legalized Company Unions Tt is significant that the steel cor- Porations, through the mouths of their company union marionettes, claim that the Wagner bill, which Provides for compulsory arbitration and is strike-breaking in nature, violates section 7A of the N.T. R. A., thereby practically establishing the fact that the N. I. Ry A. has legalized the company union. “The Wagner bill is in violation of section 7A of the N. I. R. A., “said W. G. McDermott, chairman of the employee representatives (Company | Union) of the Fore River Shipbuild- ing plant of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. His company union has so operated, he said, that “no labor trouble has occurred.” Keep- ing a straight face, he testified that “the management in no way coerces or dominates the elections,” Senator Walsh Mostly Silent Senator Davis from Pennsylvania, usually a featured speaker at the meetings of the Amalgamated Asso- ciation of Iron, Steel, and Tin Work- ers (A. F. of L,) assisted the com- pany union men by not asking em- barassing questions. Despite Davis's known connection with the A, A., J. F, Madden, one of the Weirton performers, declared, “The Amalgamated association is a racket. The American Federation of labor is a racket. The United Mine Workers is a racket: in fact they are all racketeers. “I wonder what Mr. Wagner and Mr. Green have in mind. Is our Congress and our Senate going to sit back and let this great republic be dominated by unions? Are you, gentlemen, satisfied to have Mr. ‘Wagner set Mr. Green up as another Hitler?” he asked. “The Amalgamated Association (A. F. of L.) harp on the closed shop and forget the need of the men,” ©. W. Conn, another Weirton com- pany union speaker, charged. Several spectators commented on the fact that, the men selected by the corporations represented the highest paid workers in the mills and that there were few, if any, foreign born workers among them. Others noted Senator Wagner's continued absence from the hear- ings, especially his failure to con- front the steel corporations. Open Force Preferred Although the Wagner bill is ad- mitted by its sponsors to be “dead,” the steel corporations used the hear- ings as a national forum for the purpose of attempting to consolidate the automobile victory, won recently with the help of the A. F. of L. offi- cials and the prestige then enjoyed by Roosevelt among the auto work- ers. Finance capital (J. P, Morgan & Co., for instance, which controls U.S, Steel and General Motors) is opposed to the Wagner bill, despite its strike-breaking provisions, be- cause it is opposed to instilling any more democratic illusions into work- ers. Believing that it does not need Roosevelt administration demagogy, the eyes of the workers, finance cap- ital now is determined to fight what- ever battles may eventuage, in its wn backyards and with its own machine guns. It is opposed to the A. F. of L. top leadership for the simple reason that the A. F. of L. Greens and Lewises can’t “control” the men sufficiently. Williams 8. Elliot, general counsel for the International Harvester Co. of Chicago, and John W. Edelman, of the American Federation of Hos- jery Workers, of Philadelphia, are scheduled to appear tomorrow.

Sixth | |St., plan a mass picketing demon- stration at 1:30 p.m. today in pro- test against the impending evic- tions of five striking families and for the right to picket the tenement house, The tenants have been on strike against fire-trap conditions in this house for over two weeks, Three tenants, Joseph Nahlik, Mary Kop-! chak and Evelyn Hamilton, secre-| tary of the tenants’ committee, were railroaded to court by Police Cap- tain Golden on trumped-up charges of disorderly conduct. In court the} workers were forced to swear that they would discontinue picketing.

These groups stop all passers-by in the neighborhood of 86th St. and Second Ave., and force them to buy either the German language “Deutsche Zeitung,” Nazi organ, or the English “Liberation,” organ of the Silver Shirts. They are not molested by. the police, who are never in sight when the Nazis organize their terroristic forays. Police Terror Fails To | Halt Laundry Strike! NEW YORK. — Despite all at- tempts of the bosses and the police to drive strikers away from the Spice and Span laundry, the strikers suc- | ceeded in capturing the whole| neighborhood in the vicinity with) the aid of the hundreds of workers families and the various Harlem working class organizations. Two young workers Wilmon Coussins, and James Boddie were arrested and charged with malicious mischief. These workers have been released} on 500 dollars bail. | At the union meeting last night | the strikers pledged to carry on until victory. It was reported that the| plant is completely tied up.

These officials who fought against the strike which was started by the rank and file over their opposition, are now placing themselves at the head in order to strangle it. They are following the usual A.

F. of L. mem~ ber was brutally slugged by thugs when he demanded admission to the meeting. Abe Magil, Daily Worker reporter, was also attacked by the | strong-#>m_ squgd. Motor Products steel and die mak- ers, who are all members of the Mechanies Educational Soctety, and joined strike yesterday, were also kept out. John Anderson, fighting organizer of local seven, M.E.S.A., was at- tacked in the street by a stool pigeon, who was incited by MacDonald, A. F. of L. organizer. The Motor Products M.E.S, mem- ber, among whom the militants are leading spirits, as well as the mili- tants in the A. F. of-L,, are taking steps to establish the unity of the strikers. That these efforts of M.ES. workers are meeting with response is evident from the fact that a dele- gation of three from the A. F. of L. local came to a meeting this morn- ing of M.E.S. strikers.
