The Senate rejected an amend- ment proposed to tax dividends re- ceived by one company from sub- sidiary or affiliate corporations h are now exempt from taxa- mn under the present law. Such a tax, if enforced, would have hit the great corporations. Another amend- ment offered by Borah to eliminate holding companies was also de- feated.

The Cafeteria Workers Union and the Anti-Injunction Committee will make the fight against this injunc- tion a rallying point in the fight against all anti-workingclass in- junctions, Meanwhile the activities of the union continues unabated with five more strikes under its leadership. These are Wails Cafeteria 51st and 6th Ave., where the boss is trying to use an injunction issued against the union in 1929; Lexington Coffee Pot, 96th St. and Lexington Ave.; Ryans Bar and Grill 23rd St. and 3rd_Ave., and Blue Bird Cafeteria, 60 St. and 3rd Ave. These last two are re-strikes.

The keynote | of the meeting was the campaign] to be developed throughout the} city, especially in the silk mills, to stop the next wage cut and to force the manufacturers to grant an in- crease in pay to meet the rising cost of living. These central issues are to be linked up with the slogans of the struggle for the right to organize, for the right of Negroes to work in any mills, against the growth of fascism and against U. S. war preparations. Appeal to S. P. ‘The Conference voted unanimously to send out another appeal to the Associated Silk workers, to the Socialist Party and to the other unions to establish a United front on May Day around the. above minimum program. The Conference elected an Executive Committee of seven, and instructed this body to proceed with all preparations for a Mass demonstration at Sandy Hill Park, on Tuesday, May Ist, at noon. A May Day Manifesto is to be cireulated in 25,000 copies calling upon the workers of Paterson to down tools on May Day, Interna- | the Detroit News, denies that any struggle exists between him and the A. F. of L, Organizer Collins. He says that the two organizations do not clash because they are trying to organize different sections of the in- | dustry. This is said in the face of | the efforts of the M. E. 8, A. to organize the production workers. It is clear that Smith is trying to| come to an understanding with the | A. F. of L. officialdéom whom he whitewashed at a meeting at| Deutsches Haus last Tuesday night. when he said that Collins was all right but he was in with a bad bunch in Washington. Preparing the Blacklist The press here again carries the news that the M. E. S. A. is turn- the Ternstedt Manufacturing Co. and to Edward M. Fisher, general manager of the Fisher Body Co. This has not been denied by Smith. list of the scab manufacturers, Once again, this phrase-monger- ing reformist is trying to outdo the A. F. of L. officials in meeting the manufacturers’ demands. On Tues- day night at Deutches Haus, Smith said that no roll would be turned over, and that if the manufacturers wanted to see the members of the M. E. S. A., they could count them in the picket line. Later the press quoted him as saying that he was willing to turn it over to an im- partial person and no sooner was this published when a further an- nouncement came from Smith that the lists were being turned over directly to the manufacturers. Such is the turning and twisting maneu- vers of this Socialist official. A real fight on the part of the MES.A. can be made only if the | rank and file organize themselves into a militant group that will expose and combat the reactionary policies of the Smith leadership. Inside the M. E. S. A. sentiment grows for militant policies, but a strong fight is necessary to show up the two- faced, deceitful methods of Smith and the group working with him, The Auto Workers Union is call- ing up the production workers to act in solidarity and in their own interests with the tool and aie | KOREAN makers, and k them up when they strike. They urge the spread- N I G ee ing of the struggle and the estab- lishment of a real united front. Saturday, April 14) P.M.

DENVER, Colo., April 12—A Call for a United Front May Day Con- ference this Friday evening at Loop Hall, Loop Building, 15th and Lawrence, has been sent to all Den- ver working-class organizations, Trial of Jobless Leaders Begins in MinneapolisCourt (Continued from Page 1) |nesses had been admitted to the courtroom, on the grounds that there was no room. Levinson moved. to hold the trial in a larger hall, “in view of the fact that these cases are of interest and importance to the community, the state and per- haps the nation, we believe they should be conducted in a large room where all the witnesses for the de- fense may be included. Possibly the Municipal Auditorium would be the place.” The judge was finally forced to adjourn to a larger room. Although the charges have been reduced, by force of mass pressure, to disorderly conduct, the trial has attracted the widest attention, and is the center of interest. The de- fense has called 109 witnesses and the prosecution approximately 60 witnesses. The trial is expected to last at least a week. Led By Communist Party The 19 now on trial are the dele- gation which appeared before the city council with the demands of the unemployed workers for C.W.A. jobs and relief. Judge White denied the defendants a jury trial. The Minneapolis Journal prints stories of “Communist plots to free the prisoners.” The entire area around the courthouse is heavily guarded. Workers circled the building in groups as the trial began and were pushed and jostled by. the. police, The Journal quotes the statement of Earl Browder, general secretary of the Communist Party, made at the Eighth National Convention of the Party at Cleveland, that the workers, led by the Communist Party, had won a victory by secur- ing all their demands from the city council. Mayor Bainbridge continues to issue statements justifying the po- lice attack on the unemployed work- ers. He admitted that protests had been received from all over the country against the police attack. The tactic of the city government is to attempt to divide the Commu- nists from the rest of the unem- ployed workers by lying statements and by fantastic “red scare” stories of “Communist plots.” Williamsburg Comrades Welcome ASSEMBLY CAFETERIA 166 Broadway, Brooklyn, N. ¥.
