Page Tw Win Big Relief Control Win Full Recognition to Worker Controlled Job Agency By MARGUERITE YOUNG BALTIMORE, Md.. May 2—A lull membership meeting of Ba. more sei nm unanimously approved the tentative agreement between their t tate and which the control of their bureau and won other in their fight to retain relief des winning full recognition of their self-controlled employment agency, the seamen will have rep- resentatives on the relief board, acting in an advisory capacity, After the failure of the gov ment to starve them out, the s men, after a bitter struggle, again being fed and housed at ¢' ernment expense. Harry Greenstein, Director of the Maryland Emergency Relief Ad- ministration, and other officials agreed to turn on the gas in the amen’s Project at once and pro- vide food and supplies taken away 13 days ago in a drive by the gov- ernment and ship owners to smash not only the Seamen's Relief Project but, more especially, their workers’ employment agency. Points in the agreement are: (1).

There is “a probability” that a seamen’s project will be established on the water- front, Greenstein said, but the ma- ‘ine workers were not confident this vould be done. Recognize Shipping Bureau (2), Government officials agree to “full protection” of the central- ized shipping bureau. During the oast week they had been shipping nen from uptown relief stations; hey agreed to end this immedi- ately, with marine workers author- ized to report and stop any viola- ‘ion. (3). Seamen’s any port will discharges from be recognized as qualifying the seanien for relief. Sreenstein previously had threat- ned to require a preponderance of lischarges from Baltimore. (4), The men agree to go into officials-controlled projects, but the officials agree. to recognize “advis- ory” house:;committees and sub- tommittees of seamen. It was vir— ually the same basis that the sea- men’s waterfront project was initi- uted last. December, Through grow- ing unity. in organization and through continuous struggle, they won complete control through the 3eamen’s committees and ran their own relief admittedly more econom- ically than government officials ever ran it.

(In accepting, the men agreed that their leading sub- committee members should be among the first to register.) 6). The question of forced labor is left for settlement in the fol- fowing manner: The men agree to work “if the officials can find a way in which this can be done with- out interfering with waiting for jobs under the centralized Shipping Bu- ceau’s rotary system.” Officials were anable to specify yesterday how this sould be done.

Hall on the waterfront, when they were in line for the next job open. Greenstein said he would try to find a way to avoid conflict but agreed not to interfere with the men’s wait- ing for jobs. 7). Relief officials promise place Negro seamen “as close as pos- sible” to whites, and the seamen an- nounce they will continue a mili- tant struggle against Jim-Crowism which was abolished in their own Project. The state has an official Jim Crow policy in relief adminis- | tration and Greenstein warned that unless he establishes another water- front project for seamen, Negroes may be segregated. Negro commit- tee members joined whites in saying thev would accept if forced to do so but would continually fight this. Full discussion by leading seamen and by the rank and file preceded the adoption of the agreement. Roundly applauding the recognition of the Centralized Shipping Bureau and of “advisory” seeamen’s com- mittee, the marine workers frankly announced they would go into other relief stations, if denied a seamen’s Project, “With full intentions of or- ganizine every house we enter just as we organized here.” Other Ports Active Seamen from Philadelphia, New Orleans and Buffalo, who had come ‘o Baltimore to join the march to Washington, reported that similar struggles are under way in their ports. They said the Baltimore vic- tories “will still spur us on.” Tommy Joyce, Secretary of the Waterfront Unemployment Council, was vigorously applauded when he pointed out that one weakness of the seamen’s struggle had been that their victories, ahead of other un- omoloyed in Baltimore, hed tended 0 isolate them. Joyce declared: “We will organize, now, not only the sea- men but all the unemployed. That's the only way we can get out from uncer the oppression of the master sage that’s what we'll do.” | to Baltimore Seamen Gains In Fight Series on Baltimore Seamen Begins Friday A series of articles on the ma- rine wo!

Demand Thaelmann’s Release A roar of assent greeted the read- ing of a cablegram which was sent by the meeting to the Hitler govern- ment demanding the safe release of the German Communist leaders from the fascist dungeons. Although William Z, Foster was unable to attend the May Day dem- onstration on account of his long illness, the spirit of the beloved leader of the American working class permeated the meeting. Stormy applause greeted a telegram from Foster which stated that he was recovering from his sickness and ex~ pected to be back on the fighting front within a few months, “We can say,” said Jack Stachel, in the key-note speech, “that the workers who were demonstrating under the leadership of the Socialist leaders did so understanding that they were demonstrating against fascism, imperialist war and capi- talism. But when these workers learn that their leaders are not against capitalism they will be with | us.” At this moment Mother Bloor, 72- year old veteran Communist, arrived, She was welcomed with a prolonged ovation, “The Socialist Party leaders are afraid to let a Socialist worker get tegether with a Communist work- er,” said Stachel, “for when they do, you will have two Commu- nists.” Steve Kingston, a Negro leader and member of the District Com- mittee of the Communist Party, said: “The New Deal has turned out to be a lynch deal for the Ne- gro people.

The crowd stood and applauded for several minutes when Jane Pat- terson, mother of Heywood Patter- son, one of the nine Scottsboro boys, came to the microphone to speak. Hail Scottsboro Mothers “I’m Haywood Patterson's mother, First Steps Made To Establish One F By JAY RUBIN | | (National Secretary, Food Workers | Industrial Union) | On Monday, April 23, 1934, a com- | mittee of the Amalgamated Food | Workers of America met with a committee of the Food Workers In-| dustrial Union to work out plans for the establishment of one union} |in the food industry. The meeting | of this Joint Committee was a re-| |sult of the persistent fight carried | !on by our union for unity in ac-| ‘tion and for the establishment of | ‘one union. | The actions of the leaders of the | A.F. of L. and the Regional Labor | |Boards in the recent hotel strikes | jin New York and Pittsburgh, the) | stvikes of the packing house work- jers in South St. Paul, Pittsburgh, | and many other places where strikes | | have taken place, show the efforts |of these misleaders to wipe out our unions as well as the independent | unions. Our answer to these at- | tacks of the bosses, the government, | and the Regional Labor Boards and the leaders of the A. F. of L., has been Unity in Action. Move to Crush United Front It is true that on many occasions, as, for instance, in the bakers situa- tion in New York in 1933, the lead- ership of the Amalgamated Food Workers also helped the A. F. of L. leadership, either directly or in- | directly, to crush the united front jestablished by the bakery workers. Instead of working with us, they | flirted with the A. F. of L. This helped to break up temporarily the) splendid united front work of the bakers in the A. F. of L. AF.W.,| and our unions. The A. F. of L. is now conducting a ba fight to wipe out the bakers’ } unorganized food workers. rk May Day |\Foster Sends Message; Scottshoro Mothers Get Ovation who has been grieving for three years in jail,” she said. “He was |sentenced to die three times on a framed-up charge. Who got the sentence off? The International Labor Defense and the Commu- nists.” Mother Montgomery, next of the Scottsboro mothers to speak, said, “I’m with you until death separates us. We've got to fight to free all the class war prisoners, | Mooney, Herndon, MacNamara, so | that they can march with us next | May Day Day.” | . Mother Norris, mother of Clarence | Norris, who was the last of the Scottsboro mothers to speak said: “It's just because our boys are |colored that they were framed-up. |The whole world knows they are innocent. I suppose you think I | hate Comrade Ruby Bates for what she did, but I love her for telling the truth. We've got to get more junion, I hope that by next May Day we will tear down the bars and free the Scottsboro boys.” A telegram to the Governor of Alabama demanding the state stop torturing the Scottsboro boys and |give them their unconditional lib- erty was unanimously adopted by the meeting. A resolution was adopted demanding the freedom of Tom Mooney, J. B. MacNamara, Sam Weinstein and Angelo Hern- don, Revolutionary Songs Revolutionary songs rendered by ; the chorus of the Freiheit Singing | Society interespersed the speaking. | There were songs about the Red Cavalry and an impressive anti- religious number, which threw the large crowd into fits of laughter. “The Scottsboro Boys Shall Not | Die,” a new revolutionary song, rendered by the chorus, was ap- plauded for over five minutes. Ammunition for the Communist Party’s fight in the form of a ten- dollar bil was the first response of a close sympathizer to Ben Gold’s strring speech, More ammuntion piled into the Party’s fighting fund when the same comrade pledged an additional $40 if ten people would contribute $5 apiece. When twelve $5 bills answered, the Party’s fund bulged to $1,226, but the end did not come until yes- terday morning when the sympa- thizer called at the District Office with $50 in his hand. After a colorful presentation by the Artef Players of a pageant based on Gorky’s play “Storm Bird,” New York's greatest May Day ended with the revolutionary workers’ battle song, “The International,” gushing forth from 17,000 throats. ‘Cops, Legion in Attack on Detroit May First Meet: (Continued from Page 1) | on the West Side, about 500 police | were stationed.

Clashes occurred at various o' points where workers tried to make their way through to the Park. On John and Broadway, a group of women workers was attacked by po-| lice. Michigan University Students Join Workers While workers were trying to get! | into the Park, a truck appeared) carrying about 50 University of| Michigan students singing the In- ternationale. The students, who were mobilized by the National Stu- dents League for the demonstration, | were given rousing cheers by the | workers on the street. Their truck |bore the slogan: “University of | Michigan Students Show Solidarity with Labor,” “Michigan Students Graduate to Unemployment.” Workers made several attempts to rush the Park, but were unable to mass their forces because of the strategic police mobilization. Police succeeded after 6 o'clock in seattered the workers into small groups. Workers reformed their lines on Woodward Avenue and formed a parade north throwing up banners and shouting militant slogans. At Forest and Woodward the parade stopped for a mecting |on the steps of a big church, then continued to Arena Gardens. As they marched on Woodward, the workers sang the Internation- ale, “Join the Auto Workers Union,” and other militant songs. The air was filled with slogans, “We Want Unemployment Insurance,” “We De- mand the Right to Organize,” “We Want 30-Hour Week,” “Down with Pickert’s Police Brutality,” “Down with Speed-up,” “Down with Lay- offs,” “Down with Fascism,” “Down with Imperialist War,” “Free the Scottsboro Boys,” “Free Thael- mann.” The unbroken ranks of the work- ers marched singing into Arena Park. As the workers were organizing | their lines for the march on Wood-} | ward, the police gave a final dis- | plpay of Pickert’s iron fist by chas- jing workers and brutaily beating several. The truck carrying University of Michigan students was forced into a blind alley by motor cycle cops. |In this trap, the cops dismounted, | pulled students out of the truck and | Slugged them with blackjacks. Many Wokers Downed Tools Large numbers of workers from shops, many of them wearing their badges, were present around Grand | Circus Park and on line of march to Arena Gardens, Workers from Chrysler, Hudson, Budd Wheel, Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet and other plants answered the call of the May Day Unity Committee and at- tempted to demonstrate for their Bemends on Labor's International ay. By the time the Arena Gardens meeting opened, about 4,000 workers had gathered. Earl Reno, Secretary of the May Day Unity Committee, opened the meeting. William Weinstone, Dis- trict Organizer of the Communist Party, pointed out that the police mobilization was a sign of the fear of the auto magnates of new strug- gles, because of lay-offs and wage- cuts and an attempt to intimidate the workers. He ridiculed the po- lice display. “Is it any surprise,” he asked, “that the police cannot find Dillinger when they are all lined up to seize the workers?” Weinstone showed that Couzen’s and Pickert’s policy was inseparably The Joint Committee Goes on Record in Favor of Merging Amalgamated and Food Workers Union; Must Acquaint Membership of A. F. of L. with Amalgamation Move locals of the Amalgamated in Newlocal of the Amalgamated and Local York. It is true that for a long time the leadership of the Amal- gamated did everything to prevent the unity between their membership and our membership in the recent hotel strike. The Troizkyites, Love- stonites, and Gitlowites did not hesitate to take the lead in the fight against unity between our union and the rest of the unions, and for going into the A. F. of L. In the Hotel and Restaurant strike this combination of misleaders who were in the leadership fought tooth and nail against the rank and file, who were ready to unite with us in the fight against the bosses. The results of this are evident. The bosses were the only ones who benefited from this lack of unity in the ranks of the food workers. Work Not In Vain However, our work for unity was not in vain. Our sincerity was proved in every strike action. The rank and file realize more and more that the only way out is to unite in one powerful union and concen- trate their efforts not against each other, but against the bosses, the N.R- A. and th> Regional Labor Boards for the organization of the AS a result of all our efforts, when we! issued the last call to the Amal- gamated central body to elect a committee to discuss immediate steps to establish one union in the industry, Local 3, the biggest bakers’ i 164 were the pioneers in instructing their representatives to the central body to vote in favor of electing such a committee to meet with a similar committee of our union. The central body of the Amalgamated, by a majority vote, decided to elect. such rank and file committee to meet with a similar committee of our union. Committee's Decision This Committee, which met joint- ly following this decision, decided on the following poinis as steps in the direction of establishing one union: 1—That this Joint Committee re- presenting the Food Workers In- dustrial Union and the Amalga- mated Food Workers of America, goes on record favoring the imme- diate merging of both unions into one union food workers. 2—That this Joint Committee ap- pear before the Central bodies of both unions and recommends the establishment of a Planning Com- mittee composed of an equal num- ber of members of beth unions im- mediately. 3—That we recommend to the Central bodies of both unions the} following: (a) That this Planning Commit- tee be empowered to investigate the membership of all locals in both unions and to ascertain the definite! number of members in each organ- ization. (b) That this Planning Commit- tee be empowered to set the date for a Joint Convention. (c) That this Planning Commit- tee draft a Constitution for the union and work out the numerical basis of representation to this Joint Convention. (d) That the Planning Commit- tee be empowered to report to each local of both organizations as to the plans and activities of the local of both organizations as to the plans and activities of the Planning Committee. (e) Before the Joint Convention takes place, an immediate meeting of all local Executive Boards of both unions be held in New York City for the purpose of working out plans for organizing the unor- ganized and to help the Amalga- mated Food Workers of America to defeat the A. F. of L. and the at- tempts of the latter to smash the bakers’ locals of the A. F. of L. by utilizing false charges of “Hitlerism” and “Nazism.” A—At the same time, both unions pledge to carry on an intensive struggle against all elements who stand in the way of carrying through the plans for One Union in the food industry. We recommend the Central bodies of both unions therefore, that the question shall not be postponed, and that within a period of two weeks, both Central cisions to be referred to the general membership of both unions. 5—That we recommend to the Central podies to issue a Joint i} Matis i seca cankinlisaishstcalabiabeaiae O e— bodies shaii have made definite de-| od Union Statement which should be distrib- uted to all food workers of Greater New York, This statement shall acquaint the unorganized workers with the merger and establishment of One Union. Between 50,000 and 100,000 of said statements shall be printed. Expenses shall be divided between both organizations. It is true that these decisions reached by this Joint Committee are only recommendations to the respective central bodies, At the same time it shows that the com- mittee composed only of rank and file workers was unanimous on the point of establishing one union in the industry, The main task for the establishment of one union is still ahead of us. The rank and file workers are the only ones who will be in a position to eliminate all the obstacles in the way of unity and take immediate steps to carry throuy1 the decisions reached by the Jcint Committee. Tt was only after the two locals, Local 3 and Local 164 had instructed their delegates, that such a com- mittee was elected. One union will become a reality only through the vcte of the membership which will finally put aside all who stand in the way of unity. In conjunction with this, imme- diate steps in beginning a broad or- ganization drive at once, jointly, acquainting the membership of the A. F. of L. of the steps which we are taking, and trying to reach agreements on this drive.. This and this only is the guarantee that one union will become the rallying point of all the independent organizations of the rank and file workers in the \A.

When the dicks in- terfered, we told the workers, “Give the leaflet, we don’t want you to Jose your job. But come over to| the Office Workers Union later, 114 West 14th Street.” “Don’t be ridiculous,” said the | LaGuardia judge to the cop who arrested us for distributing leaflets to the employees of Wanamakers.

The attitude | of the judge is a little bit of | ia baloney to make us} ‘liberal,’ Some of the Wanamaker stool-pigeons will now propably try to start a fight with us.” May Day Speakers AttackJimcrowism In Wash’gton Meet (Daily Worker Washington Bureau) WASHINGTON, May 2.—Over 200} Negro and white workers yesterday | heard May Day speakers in Franklin Park attack official government dis- crimination and police brutality against Negroes, and contrast the Roosevelt “New Deal” with what a Soviet America would offer. Uniformed and plain clothes po- lice, including the red squad under Lieut. Lineburg, encircled the May Day demonstration. Police bullet belts were prominently displayed. “In Soviet America there will be no unemployment and no boss class,” declared Spencer, repre- sentative of the Communist Party, amidst hearty applause, “It is time for us today to join the ranks of the revolutionary working class and march forward to a Soviet America.” The meeting ended with the singing of the Internationale.

Bill Levine, the young, militant leader of the striking re. lief workers, was taken from the jail at midnight, turned over by the night jailer to armed thugs, and taken across the border to South Dakota, where he was beaten un- conscious at the point of a gun, Left on a county road by the thugs, Levine was taken back to tha city by sympathetic farmers. The kidnaping and beating of Levine plainly shows that the police and the relief authorities are em- ploying armed gunmen to break the reign of terror. Levine was turned over to the gunmen without a pro- test or a struggle from the police, The International Labor Defense appeals to all workers’ organiza- tions to protest this reign of terror and send resolutions to County At- torney Duckworth, Sioux City, Towa. Call General Strike In Cuba To Protest May Day Terrorism (Continued from Page 1) bloody attack was personally directed by Col. Pedraza, second in command of the army, and aided by the Yankee Moore. There is little doubt that Roosevelt’s ambassador to Cuba, Jefferson Caffery, who the previous day requested the move- ment of troops, had his hand in the directing of the slaughter. Give Way Under Fire The workers’ ranks gave way only after the shooting became general and heavy. Firing from Spring- fields and tear gas guns continued at the escaping crowds. Hundreds of workers bravely de- fied the firing to reach the Crystal Arena, the meeting place. This also was dissolved by gunfire. Meetings continued in the workers’ neighborhoods after the massacre, Headquarters of the transport and needle unions were assaulted by the army. All present were ar- rested. A call has been issued to- day for protest strikes demanding ’|punishment of those responsible against the assassin government, against the Wall Street military rule. The Communist Party has issued the slogan: “Forward to all power to the workers, peasants, soldiers and sailors as the only guarantee of the rights of the masses,” The general strike was complete in Havana at midnight May Day, tying up all street cars, railroads and ports. No news has yet been received from the interior on May Day demonstrations. The German ambassador, on May Day, demanded guarantees.
