The Kenosha strike, MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 10.—Three days of “arbitra- tion” by headed by Dr. Leo Wolman and working hand in hand not only with the employers but also with the A. F. of L. top leaders, headed by the arch labor traitor, Paul J. Smith, have just ended with the strikers rejecting the settlement offer and militantly continuing the strike. Not only did the top lead- ers of the A. F. of L., like Smith, @hl, Handley, Nickerson and Somers fuily agree to the board’s and em- ’ proposals, but they tried hard to force them down the throats of the 5,000 auto strikers in Seaman Body, Milwaukee, Racine- Nash and Kenosha-Nash plants. The “settlement” offer was as fol- lowsw: ten percent wage increase, 5@ cents per hour minimum wage and 44 cents for women workers, reeognition of the union (meaning A. F. of L. leaders); seniority rights and so on. But the strikers know, | as they have proven later in action, thet they never would gotten even these few miserable pennies as was proven im the Nash-Kenosha strike last. November. The strikers declared that only a small percentage of workers would get a few more miserable pennies, but a large section of the strikers would not get any wage increase, while the third section would actu- ally get a wage cut. Would Retain Scabs The Seaman strikers have addi- tional reasons for refusing these proposals by pointing out that the scabs would remain in the plant under the guise of seniority rights protected by these rights. It is a fact that most of the auto strikers in Seaman Body have been paid off in full and upon returning to work they would be rehired and therefore considered new men and the scabs while remaining at work, would be protected by the employers’ inter- pretation of the seniority rights plus the alibi that there is even work on production for the scabs. The strikers, therefore, demand the im- mediate discharge of the scabs, 20 per cent increase and 60 cents per hour minimum wage. Paul Smith, Green’s field reppre- sentative, on April 6th, has slan- dered and insulted the strikers of Nash-Kenosha by calling them “yellow bellies.” But the strikers made it crystal clear to him to keep his hands out of Kenosha strike, as there is no longer any fertile field for his sell-out tactics, because the workers there remember the sell- out of their strike in November 1.

F. of L. top leaders, such | as Handiey, Smith, Ohl, Nickerson | therefore, will contiue with re- newed vigor and determination to win adequate increases in pay and other working conditions. Firmly Vote to Stay Out | On Saturday, April 7, at the sec- ond mass meeting called by the Sea- man union to ratify the “settlement” | between the bosses and A. F. of L.} top leaders, over 750 strikers voted | to reject the “settlement.” They took this step even though at the Friday night’s mass meeting Paul J. Smith made an hour and a half speech, advising, pleading and coax- ing the men to go back, saying that “poor Mr. Seaman wiil go broke” if he gives them a higher rate of pay. The strikers at their second meeting the following day held fast and finally and definitely refused ‘to go back under such conditions. Among other things, the Seaman strikers demanded the immediate ousting of the scabs. But Mr. Smith | tried to explain the boss needs the | “men” (meaning the scabs) and if | the strikers will only go back to work, Seaman will separate the scabs in another part of the plant. | The workers saw through this trick | of Mr, Smith and they just couldn't | be fooled. Thus the Seaman strik- ers decided to continue their strike by resuming their picket lines Mon- | 9. them, agreed that in: the event etther of the three unions on strike rejects the proposals, they will all reject them and so continue the strike until they win adequate wage increases. The Racine-Nash strik- ers last Friday tentatively accepted the settlement pending the outcome | of the balloting in the other two) plants. Now since the two unions have refused “settlement” it is likely that Racine strikers will continue their strike also. Elect Rank and File Committees The Auto Workers Union, affili- ated to the Trade Union Unity League, calls upon the strikers to elect real large rank and file strike committees, to take the strike into their own hands, with each depart- ment to have representation. Only the strike committees should nego- tiate with the bosses, thrusting aside the self-imposed “leaders” like Smith, Handley, Ohl, Nickerson and Somers. The Auto Workers Union urges the strikers, among other demands, to put forward the recognition of the shop committees and depart- ment committees and to organize mass protest meetings and demon- strations against police brutality, demanding the immediate with- drawal of the six mounted police at Seaman Body plant. Hundreds of policemen have been stationed at Seaman plant all last week and scores of strikers have been injured, limbs broken, while 27 have been arrested since the strike began. Action of Socialist Mayor The Socialist Mayor Hoan and Benson, Raskin and Hauser have done everything possible to break the fighting spirit of the Seaman strikers, and thus break the strike. When Hoan made a speech before | elections at the Seaman plant, he said that the “police” are your “friends” and that he agrees with the strike, only to repudiate this the next day when all the Milwaukee newspapers quoted him as saying that he is not in agreement with the strike or that rather he is “neu- tral.” But Attorney Raskin went farther and openly incited the po- lice to terrorize and arrest the strik- ers. This is the double deal of- fered by the leaders of the Socialist Party of Milwaukee. The Auto Workers Union has been giving and will continue to give and actively take part in the auto work- ers’ strike in the three cities, calling on all workers regardless of affili- ation to unite their forces until the workers win real conditions. We call upon all workers’ organizations to give full support to the auto strikers. We especially call upon the rank and file members of the A. F. of L. local unions to go over the heads of their leaders and sup- port the strikers full force. Auto workers! Thrust aside the labor traitors and march forward to real victory. || BRIDGETON, N, J., April 10. — Workers Delegation Hits | ; Vigilante Terror, | Starvation Pay SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 10.—The unprecedented ter- | rer against the agricultural workers in Imperial Valley is being supplemented by anN.R.} A.-directed attack on the mil-| itant unity of the workers, Mex-| icans, Filipinos ana white, with the) arrival of Gen. Pelham D. Glass-| ford, who achieved infamy during} the Bonus March, as N.R.A, “ar-! bitrator.” Setting himself up as an “im-| partial” investigator, Glassford im-} mediately surrounded himself with) @ State “investigating” committee | of five, named by the big growers and shippers. On April 7, this body received a committee from the Can- mery and Agricultural Workers Union, which is organizing a strike of melon pickers against starvation pay and rotten conditions in the Liberties Union. It becomes at once apparent that the function of the} “investigating” body was to white- wash the unbearable working con- ditions and the vigilante terror. | S. C. Alexander, one of the union’s delegates, told of the miserable con- | dition in the workers’ camps, the| unbelieveably small pay. He de- clared there was no mystery why, the workers unitedly supported their | own union and declined to support | the Mexican Association, which is |controlied and supported by the growers and shippers.

An official of the Growers and Shippers Association stated point- blank that the growers and shippers | would not recognize any union ex- cept the Mexican Association. O. C. Heitman, representing the A. F. of L. and president of the Fed-| erated Trades and Labor Council offered the growers and shippers the | aid of the A. F. of L. The workers’ committee demanded a halt to the terror, the disbanding and disarming of the vigilantes’ bands of the growers and shippers; the right of the workers to organize into their own unions and to strike, if necessary, for better conditions. Gen. Glassford was asked to guar- antee the safe return of four native- born workers who were driven out of the Valley by a band of 30 armed vigilantes on March 26, and threat- ened with death if they return. Several of the union organizers and sympathizers are facing trials in the local boss courts in the near future. The Social Problems Forum, 852 Eighth Ave., San Diego, is col- Tecting funds for the defense and is appealing to workers and their organizations throughout the coun- try to aid the defense.

Several months ago the landlord came to Drawheck, a fighting Holi-| day farmer who has taken part in many of the Nebraska struggles, and told him that he had secured another place for him and that he | was to move immediately, since the} place that he was now farming had been rented to someone else. Draw- beck and his family of six were to do all the work and receive a pitiful] sum of 2 a week and no part of the! crop. He realized that this was only a scheme to move him to a commu- nity where the Holiday had not yet | been organized and where the land-: | lord could thus be able to dispossess ; and evict him at will. | A few days ago he received a three-day notice to vacate his farm. He did not pay any attention to this notice, and at the end of the three| days the landlord, deputies, sheriff, | lawyer and appraiser came to the| Drawbeck home with trucks ready to seize all farm machinery and! stock and sneak off with it before | the Holiday members could find out about it.
