Defeat Renegades The two-day voting for a new administration in the Amalgaamted Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union Friday and Saturday resulted in a decisive defeat for all shades of renegades from the Communist movement. The Trotskyites, Love- stonites, Gitlowites, and Loreites who had combined their forces for a slate against the rank and file slate were defeated by the workers in a vote of 3 to 1. About 440 bal- lots were cast in the elections, 100 more than in the last elections. Salvatore Gentili was elected Sec- retary-Treasurer, N. Fried was elected organizer of the dining-room department and V. Belleri of the kitchen department. Seven out of eight of the rank and file slate for the Central Executive Board were elected to that body.

C., April 8.—The National Labor Board issued a ruling today that the Kirchick-Beckerman Shoe Corp., of New York, has violated its agreement with the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Un- jon, and was discriminating against members of that union, which is now a part of the Uni- ted Shoe and Leather Workers Union. Of the 100 workers who went on strike a few months ago, 90 are still solid in their struggle against the boss who is permitted to blacklist the men and openly violate his contract in spite of the fact that labor ree deci- sions have since last January been hurled against him. Noth- ing has been done to this boss, however, while two Kirchick- Beckerman strikers are now fac- ing sentences to long terms in jail on frame-up charges of hav- ing beaten up scabs. One of those facing sentence is Julius Krane, who was recently elected organ- izer for the stitchdown depart- ment of the New York district for the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union. City Councils, AFL Unions Continue to Endorse H. R. 7598 Illinois Mining Town Acts on Workers Bill NEW YORK—The City Council of Zeigler, a mining town in the Southern Illinois coal fields, en- dorsed the Workers Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill (H. R. 7598), after the bill was introduced and explained to the city admin- istration by Henry Corbishley, sec- retary of the State Committee of the Unemployment Councils. Ziegler is an important mining town in Franklin County, the scene of the militant march of the miners in the fall of 1932, where on their march the men were ambushed and shot at by police and mine thugs. Meanwhile, the leaders of the Pro- gressive Miners of America who have insisted that the miners endorse the fake Wagner “Reserves” Bill, are running to cover as the P.M.A. locals continue to endorse the workers bill over the heads of the leadership. A. F. of L. Continue Endorsement The Simmons Bed Federal Union local No. 18456, with 2,500 members, at a meeting held in Moose Hall, Kenosha, Wisconsin, on April 2nd, unanimously endorsed the workers bill H.R. 7598.

BALTIMORE, April 8—Six hun- dred seamen at a mass meeting here yesterday voted to fight to the last ditch against a new forced labor plan proposed by the govern- ment relief officials for unemployed seamen. The officials propose that the jobless seamen work two days @ week for ninety cents and board and that aH seamen employed in the administration of relief be dis- charged. It was a hard fought battle that} | won the present high standard of/| relief for the seamen in this port] under control of a rank and file committee of seamen. The seamen have refused to recognize any other authority than their own commit- tee. They declared that they will not register or allow clerks or offi- cials to take charge of the relief | project. They are standing pat for} the present type of relief until the| government is willing to give three| days a week work at $450 a day. | Speeches made by the seamen) showed that the men realize that the Baltimore seamen’s high stand- ard of reef which they won through hard struggle has placed them in the forefront of the nation-wide struggle for decent standards for all. “We are determined to re- main in the forefront of the struggle despite any terror that develops,” said a seaman speak- ing against the proposed relief project of the bosses. Labor organizations throughout the city have pledged to support the seamen in their struggle. Early in the week there will be held a test against the plan of the bosses to take the distribution of relief out of the hands of the seamen’s rank and file committee. arise oe Communiist Convention Supports Fight, CLEVELAND, April 8—Support- ing the militant Baltimore seamen in their struggle to maintain the administration of unemployed re- lief, the Eighth Convention of the Communist Party which closed here yesterday unanimously adopt- ed the following resolution: “We delegates of the 7th national convention of the Communist Party vigorously protest against the at- tacks by the Roosevelt ogevrnment, through the federal transient bu- reau, to destroy the rights of the Baltimore unemployed seamen who through militant action have won increased relief and their own ad- ministration of relief through an elected committee of seamen, “We protest against the Roosevelt government reducing relief and at- tempting to wrest control of relief from the hands of the seamen, and compelling them to forced labor, “This convention calls on all workers’ organizations immediately to protests and resolutions against this attack which is aimed at all unemployed, and demand that con- trol relief be left in the hands of the seamen’s elected committee. “We urge all workers to rush these. protests to President Roose- velt and to Harry Greenstein, state relief administrator, Baltimore, Md.” ae Win Shoe Strike in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, April 8— The strike at the Keystone Slip- per Company has been won. After four days of picketing, during which time, the entire shop of about 170 workers were out, the boss was forced to grant all demands, wage increase of from 10 to 25 percent have been granted, Garabaldi and other workers fired for union activity have been rehired, and the boss has agreed to recognize a shop committee, and permit the col- lection of dues. The winning of this strike is of special significance. The 80 bosses in the industry in the city, have been using every trick to force the workers into the Cen- tral Convention, the company union. The successful defiance of these attempts in the Keystone ops should serve as the signal to halt similar attempts in other shops. The strike led by the United Shoe and Leather Work- ers Union.

The white ten- ants in the building had refused to pay any rent until the eviction no- tice against Briggs and his family was withdrawn, Notice of the bank’s surrender was given the House Committee of the tennants over the telephone on Friday. The Committee immediately demanded a written statement from the bank’s agents, which was forth- coming in the first mail Saturday morning.

Many or- ganizations had been involved in the protest actions, including the neigh- borhood units of the Communist Party, the International Labor De- fense, League of Struggle for Negro Rights, Trade Union Unity Coun- cil, International Workers Order, Unemployed Councils, Workers Ex- Servicemen’s League, downtown and Brooklyn branches of the I, L.

They voted to approach various organizations in the neighborhood with the view of holding a victory celebration to popularize the victory and make available to large sections of workers the lessons of the suc- cessful struggle and the necessity of militant, united action of native and foreign-born workers, white and Negro, against the splitting tactics of the bosses, aimed to weaken the rising struggles of the workers against unemployment, starvation, fire-trap tenements and imperialist war. The tenants gave a vote of thanks to the Daily Worker for its support of the struggle, UNIONTOWN, Pa. (By mail),— The Uniontown celebration called by the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica on April 2 was attended in the beginning by at least 30,000 people, but as the U. M. W. A. officials ranted about faith in god, Roosevelt and Lewis, and against any strike, the crowd dwindled to about 15,000 or 20,000. Frick gunmen provoked clashes at the start of the meeting. One of the gun thugs, John Bosak, from Eden- born, emptied his gun and wounded two miners, one of them seriously. The other thug, John Gero, tried to fire but was disarmed. The state and local police prevented the miners from giving due justice to these thugs, who came to this meeting with guns in their holsters to pro- voke fights and murder unarmed miners. The crowd pummeled Bosak, and he was sent to the hospital; Gero was held in jail, only to be released by District Attorney Wade K. New- ell without any charges being placed against him. All of the thugs seemingly invaded Uniontown for one purpose, to flaunt their guns and their Frick Union, “The Independent Miners Brother- hood” cards, ‘Over 50 miners were arrested, and utation among the workers, insists that he has been the miners remarked the fact that Company Union Cun Thugs of Frick Corp. Assault Miners only the union men were arrested, while the company thugs were per- mitted to go free even though they had guns. As the miners were preparing to go home, and waiting for their buses and trucks, the city police tried to break the waiting crowds. When the crowds refused, on the corner of Gallitin and Penn Aves., to move, the firemen were called, and they started to douse the crowdo with water. The miners cut the hose and knocked the firemen off the trucks. The result of the fights at Foot- dale, Vesta 6, Uniontown, is about 15 in hospitals and 69 arrested. One feature of the meeting was the indignation of the miners over the fact that not a single speaker raised a word of protest over the sentences of from one to four years meted out to the four Fayette Coun- ty miners as a result of their activ- ities in the last summer and fall strikes. The discussion of the leaflet issued by the Brownsville section of the Communist Party, which was dis- tributed in 12 mines and also in Uniontown last Saturday ad Sun- day showed the readiness of the miners to follow the leadership of the Communist Party. The Browns- ville Section must utilize this situa- Strike Ended, But Struggle Not Over, Say Dryden Toilers Vote To End Strike Is Railroaded Through by Co.

Leaflets issued in the name of the Communist Party and the Young Communist League, taken reluctantly the first day of the strike, were ers. There is no doubt that the immediate action of the Commu- nists and Young Communists forced even the 5 per cent in- crease in wages which averaged $14 a week for girls and $16 to $18 for the men. Frankel selected the “commit- tee” which dealt with the boss. He urged the workers to go back be- cause “Dryden was losing a con- tract for rubber parts from the| General Motors.” He had two mili- tant workers thrown from the hall. He allowed no discussion. But the Dryden workers state openly “it’s not over yet.” Politicians Deceive Chicago Teachers 10000Parents,Teachers at Meet; Strike Brewing CHICAGO.—Led by the nose by the futile effort to throw out one political party and put in another, Chicago teachers were deceived again at a mass meeting, attended by more than 10,000 teachers and parents at the Coliseum on Thurs- day, April 5, 1934, when they per- mitted politicians, fishing for votes in troubled waters, to turn the teachers’ struggles for their back pay and free public education into a fiasco, The mass meeting, called by the Volunteer Emergency Committee, John Fewkes, chairman, was for the purpose of demanding an an- swer to the question, “Why no school relief?” No answer was given, Ten thousand people expressed their indignation at the attack on education in Chicago by coming to this meeting. The audience was roused to en- thusiasm three times: once, to boo Governor Horner; again, to express their disapproval of Mayor Kelly; and a third time there were angry shouts when Roy Woods intimated that somebody had stolen $50,000,- 000, and it might have been the school board.
