A group of strikers visited a scab employment agency and forced a promise not to send any more scabs. Darling workers were recruited into the A. F. of L. by gangster tac- tics. Workers were threatened and stockyards Labor Council members had their union buttons torn off.) Practically no strike relief is be- ing given the workers and many of them are going on the streets hungry.

The militant Packinghouse Workers’ Union warns the workers} that they must raise the demand for reference of any settlement to! the strikers for decision, for a rank and file delegation to visit the team- | sters' union to urge united action, and for the establishment and rec- ognition of a shop committee of all workers in the shop. “Unless these steps are taken,” representative of the Packing-| house Workers’ Industrial Union stated, “the strikers will be left at the mercy of corrupt A.

Took Enormous Sums But Gives No Relief BULLETIN WASHINGTON, D.C., May 15.— The National Labor Board today declared the strike of 2,300 air- craft workers in the Curtis Air- plane Motor Co., and in the Con- solidated Aircraft Corporation outlawed. The ruling was that the strike must be called off on the ground that the strikers did not submit to arbitration. The | strikers’ mass picket line was bru- | tally attacked by police in Buf- falo yesterday, who fired shots into the crowd of unarmed strik- ers. Many were seriously wounded | from shots, clubbings and fire hose, The ruling of the National La- | bor Board against the strikers is added proof that the National La- bor Board is a strikebreaking ma- chinery. Its government decisions against strikers alternate with fascist terror on the picket lines in order to rob the strikers of their demands and force them back to work without recognition. | (Special to the Daily Worker) HARTFORD, Conn., May 15.—A} mass of more than 1,400 people, in-| cluding many sympathizers, came out on the Pratt Whitney picket line yesterday. Furthermore, an enor- mous crowd paraded around the factory through the afternoon, Despite the fact that the bosses put an ad in the “Hartford Times,” Saturday, stating the shop would open today, only ten workers went back. The bosses claim in the after-| noon local papers that three hun- dred persons are back, but the . junion declared that this is false. The strikers held a meeting after this morning's picketing and Lavista, president of the Industrial Aircraft Workers of America, called for con- tinuance of the fight. Over fifty police and detectives, armed with clubs and other weapons, were} around the shop, but the workers were not intimidated. The strikers call on the Daily Worker to tell New York workers that the strike is on and effective, as the capitalist press of New York is carrying ads for scabs. Bakers and Teamsters Strike in New York) NEW YORK.— Teamsters and bakers of the Dugan Brothers, Inc., Bakery are striking against the fir- ing of union men. They are de- |manding a union shop and union| 22® conditions. The strike affects company branches in Queens village and throughout the metropolitan area. In an attempt to break the strike police have been assigned to ride \trucks driven by scab drivers. Bakers are striking under the leadership of the Amalgamated Food Workers Union. The team- sters are members of Local 38 of the International Teamsters Union. Ne ew Folding Chairs JOHN KALMUS CO. Inc. 35 W. 26th St MUrray Hill 4-5447 Office and School Equipment NEW and USE!

Federal Judge Gieger has handed down a decision the citizenship of Emil (Editor of the Hungarian Daily, Uj Flore) for working class activity. In Portland, Ore., an attempt is being made to deport a militant unemployed | worker, Walter Baer, to Nazi Ger- many. “The mass protest which defeated Michigan Alien Registration Act in 1931, forced the Senate to defer action on the Dies Bill in Gardos and the Creagan case in 1934, must be raised to a much higher level |to defeat these new attacks which |are being made upon the foreign |born with the purpose of dividing the workers and destroying their organizations. Would Investigate Terrorism in U.S. (Contened 5 irom Page 1) used against the producers of the nation’s wealth, causing them loss of wages, hunger and destitution; “Whereas, it is also common prac- tice for employers to retain and hire private armies, armed with powerful and dangerous weapons, and amply financed by big business | serving as quasi-governmenital troops; and “Whereas, it is often common practice to swear in wholesale num- bers of armed deputies to augment all said forces; “Therefore, be it resolved, that the House of. Representatives con- |demns the use of private armies by the money masters of the nation, |and that the committee on labor be hereby instructed at once to draw up suitable legislation to forever prevent and severely punish the use of such barbarism against labor, ainst farmers, against workers} and against the producers of the| nation’s wealth.” Calls For Report The resolution would “authorize” the Committee to proceed to Ala- bama “or to such other points or places where Government troops or private armies with arms are now being used against Labor,” to in- vestigate. It would direct a report to the House during the present ses- sion on the results of investigation, and would “authorize” the Commit- |tee to hold hearings wherever ne- cessary. It does not call for the appropriation of funds to carry through such investigation, but merely authorizes “such expendi- tures not in excess of amounts made |available for the purposes of this resolution.” Asked to comment on the condi- tions he recited, Lundeen said, “The resolution speaks for itself.’ He thought a moment and added, “I've always been against these private armies — haven't we police enough without thugs, gunmen and whatnot being brought in to cut down work~- ers on the picket lines?” He was reminded that “We” do indeed have enough police, and that to place the emphasis entirely on the private armies is to leave the workers still the prey of these po- lice and troops who now increasing- ly “cut down workers on the picket lines.” “True enough,” he replied, “but at least there’s a little responsibility there.” He was asked to comment on the shooting of workers in Buffalo, the acknowledged suppression of dis- patches to the Daily Worker, the | terror over Galveston and the Paci- fic Coast. “You've got to have pub- lic opinion on these things,” he said. Asked how he expected public opinion to develop in a yacuum of news censorship and suppression, he suggested, “It’s got to break through these barriers.” Then he added he would be very glad to serve on a committee to investigate, because, “The American public has got to know what's being done to labor. All these working men are doing is to try to improve their conditions. If they’re going to be set up against with machine guns, private armies, not to mention police and soldiers, we ought to know about it.” Lundeen, however, declined to comment upon the suppression of news describing the very conditions his resolution covers. He said he would let his measure “soak awhile” before dec™ing whether or not to speak to the House on it. The reso- lution itself merely would “author- ize” investigation, instead of direct- ing one. It would give this author- |ity to the House Committee on La- bor—a group which so completely ignored the Workers’ Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill inrtoduced by the same Lundeen that efforts now | plant has been organized to force (Daily Worker Washington Buro) WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15, —Secretary of Labor Perkins was confronted today by 40 women fur workers, protesting against gangsterism, intimidation and discrimination, and against com- bined efforts of shops and Amer- ican Federation of Labor-Gov- ernment officials to break the militant Pur Workers Industrial Union in such words as these: “My own husband was killed by gangsters hired by A, F. of L. officials and fur bosses just last year and no one has been prose- cuted — what will you do, Miss Perkins, since you say over the radio you are interested in wo- men?” “I myself was attacked by gangsters last Saturday—do you want to see the bruises, Miss Perkins? I too heard you speak ‘as a woman’ over the radio— what will you do?” Secretary Perkins promises to “make an investigation.” She walked out on the girls’ inquiries as to what she would do to stop her own Assistant Secretary of Labor, Edward F. McGrady, from attacking the militant union by sending its leaders to jail and deportation. Steel Men Prepare For Strike Action In Baltimore, Md. SMWIU Organizing for Return of Jobs to Workers BALTIMORE, Md.—Strike ac- tions are increasing among the steel workers here, with the shut- down of the Bethlehem Steel Co. closing down the steel-rail busi- ness entirely. Despite the claims of the Spar- rows Point Co. that big orders were received from the railroad companies, the mill announced hat it would shut down indef- initely. Promises that the men would be taken on in other plants were made, but so far only a few of the friends of the bosses have been given jobs. A similar lay-off took place at the Bethlehem Steel Shipyards a few days ago. The Steet and Metal Workers Industrial Union has begun to take steps to see that the workers organize action to get their jobs back at once. The rail workers have been get- ting a scale of about $1.25 for a hundred tons of rails. One hundred and eighty-five men in the Breakdown Mills have signed a petition for a 35 per cent increase in wages on their jobs. The 8. M. I. U. backed this move and the company immediately an- nounced a voluntary increase of 15 per cent. The workers failed to take the bribe and the whole the whole increase. Aid Aircraft Strike Following the appearance of a scab ad in the “Baltimore Sun,” calling for scabs at the struck Buffalo airplane factories, a com- mittee of the S. M. W. I. U. visietd the editor to demand that this ad be cancelled. The editor said it was “business,” but the ad was withdrawn the next day. The Union has appealed to the Baltimore local of the Aeronaut- ical Workers Union for joint ac- tion to prevent the shipment of scabs. 2,300 Remington Men Out During Confabs ILION, N. Y., May 15.—The 2,300 striking workers of the Remington Typewriter Company here will not return to work while negotiations are in progress in New York City between tbe company officials and workers’ representatives, it was an- nounced by local union officers. Six thousand workers are striking in Remington plants in other cities, and the workers here are in com- munication with union officials in those plants, and it is expected that no one will return to work until the conferences are over, and an agreement satisfactory to the work- ers is reached. Bridgeport Steel Men Win Demands, (Special to the Daily Worker) BRIDGEPORT, Conn., May 15.— The strike of moulders and me- chanics at the Bridgeport Castings Co., which began over a week ago, was settled on Monday after two conferences with the president of the company, with good gains for the workers, which include in- creases in pay and recognition of the Moulders’ own committee, The settlement provides for (1) a minimum day rate of 60 cents per hour (from 40 cents), with desig- nated increases for all moulders and mechanics. (2) Equal division of work shall prevail and to be de- termined by moulders’ committee. (3) Sanitary improvements on seven points will be made. (4) All strik- ers are to return to work without any discrimination. (5) The Mould- ers’ Committee shall be recognized and will deal with the company on all grievances on behalf of all the moulders and mechanics. The moulders’ strike shut down the foundry consisting of 40 work- ers. The strikers organized a local of the Steel and Metal Workers’ In- dustrial Union, which led their vic- torious strike. An organizational meeting of all foundry workers in Bridgeport has been called for Red Men's Hall, Fri- day night. George Beaumont, of the 8. M. W. L. U., will be the main speaker, Police Soft-Pedal in Probe For Killer of Slain Musician Cook Up Story About Fictitious “Negro Mania” Musicians’ Fight for Local Autonomy Goes On NEW YORK. — Fellow-workers of the murdered musician, Richard Becher, men who had fought side by side with the slain man for local autonomy in the Associated Musi- cians of Greater New York (Local 802 of the American Federation of Musicians), attended the funeral of Elmhurst on Monday, although the union officialdom, glad that Becher was out of the way, did not officially take notice of his death at the last local meeting. The men who marched—over 200 of them—were not only in mourning. They were determined that Becher’s death, which many union members attribute to his militancy on the union floor, “will not stop the fight for local autonomy,” as one of their placards read. This fight has been going on against the corrupt A. F. of L._ officials, as well as the high- salaried outside-appointed execu- tives of Local 802, for many years. Other placards carried by the marchers read: “Local autonomy for 802 was Becher’s battle cry,” and “Local autonomy is our pledge to Becher!” Police Do Nothing on Case The police are, characteristically, doing nothing about investigating the strong possibility that Becher was murdered because of his vigor- ous stand against the officials of the union and his fight for local auto- nomy. Instead, after first an- nouncing that the killing of Becher and wounding of Mrs. Becher were the work of a burglar (although this was not supported by the condition of the house after the murder), they have now advanced the theory that this was, as the Daily Mirror of May 14th put it, “a maniac’s crime.” The Mirror goes even further. It states, on the basis of police infor- mation, that the killing was the work of “a Negro intruder,” and speaks of this fictitious maniac as of “immense stature with tremendously long arms and protruding teeth.” Legion Wrecks ILD BirminghamOffice; 50 Miners Are Held (Continued from Page 1) a home at 127 Seventh Avenue North, occupied by two Negro fam- ilies, of Henry Thomas and Larkin Britt, striking furnace employees. No one was hurt, however.

Persons is head of First National Bank, with heavy investments in coal mines. George R.

I regard this as an open attempt of the hosses to terrorize the workers and break the present strike and to crush the militant spirit of the workers. T appeal to all workers not to be seared and lose their spirit be- cause some of us were shot but to unite, both white and Negro, in a more determined effort than ever before to struggle against the bosses for a decent living. “We must make double efforts to resist the bosses and fight for the right to live.” Four hundred and fifty workers of Selma Manufacturing Company were thrown out of work Friday when the plant shut down, follow- ing the threat of the union to call a strike unless the demands are met. The chief demand is union recognition. The plant is owned by J. F. Ames of Selma, Ala., who has in past months come forward as chief exponent of lower wages for the south, and especially even lower legalized wage scales for Negroes. Harold Ralston is out on bond of three hundred dollars. FUR WORKERS, ATTENTION!

Thugs Murder 3 | Dock Strikers on The Picket Lie (Continued from Page 1) the docks in a peaceful manner. The responsibility for the murders | rests squarely on the shoulders of | the shipowners, the police and the San Pedro city government. Ae te Portland Still Tied Up PORTLAND, Ore., May 15—The| longshore strike is so effective here that the shipowners are unable to/ load or unload ships. All attempts to put scabs to work have been un- successful. Despite the disruptive tactics of the leaders of the International Seamen’s Union, the seamen are solid behind the longshoremen un- der the leadership of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. Leaders of the International Longshoremen's Association are working hard to split the militant section of the marine workers away from the main body of the strikers. Another strike-breaking move was made by Mayor Carson and the City Council. The Mayor and his council have created a two mile strike zone on the waterfront where only offi- cial pickets and business is allowed. He has done this in order to keep the main body of workers in the city from their active support of the strike. ' Thousands Picket SEATTLE, Wash., May 15.—Des- pite Mayor Dore’s statement that 100 police will be put on duty to protect scabs, no cargo is being loaded on the ships. The picket lines are thousands * . strong in Seattle, Everett and Tacoma. The leader of the Teamsters Union, Brewster, was run off the waterfront when he tried to stop the teamsters from calling a sympathy strike, * . Negro Docker Murdered HOUSTON, Tex., May 15.—The longshore strike continued in the gulf ports against three companies which refused to sign agreements with the union, the Clyde Mallory line, the Luckenbach Steamship Co., and the Moore McCormack. John Elmore, Negro longshoreman, was shot and killed by company guards who fired on pickets on the dock at Galveston. Ralph Langrave was shot in the leg. Another striker was also wounded in the attack, The shooting took place when the company tried to bring 150 scabs to the S. S. Wichita Falls. The captain fired the first shot from the bridge of the ship. The scabs, many of whom are un- employed farmers from Cameron, Texas, are being held like prisoners by the company, being refused the right to go home. A mass meeting has been called to protest the killing of this worker. + er € * 200 Continue Strike in New York NEW YORK.—About 200 long- shoremen continued their strike at piers 34 and 27 on the West Side yesterday. Scabs were working the cargo as delegates from the International Longshoremen’s Association frowned upon mass picketing. So far there has been no picketing of the docks on strike. Leaflets were distributed by the Marine Workers Industrial Union urging the strikers to set up a picket line over the heads of the I. L. A. officials to stop the scabs. eee Prepare for Action in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, May 15,—The longshoremen of this city, throughly disgusted with the tactics of Polly Baker, International Longshore- men’s Association organizer, are in the midst of an organization drive to prepare for a port wide struggle for better conditions and higher wages. Baker, fearing the men would join the militant M. W. I. U,, is trying to force the unorganized longshoremen of Pier 46 into his or- ganization. However, the men are not responding. Instead they, and longshoremen of other piers, are grabbing eagerly at leaflets distrib- buted by the M. W. I. U,, calling on them to repudiate Baker's mis- leadership, and they are packing the meetings called to organize them and prepare for real struggle, Call Conference On Police Terror Protest Cops’ Attack on Workers Club Affairs NEW YORK.—A conference of workers’ clubs to organize against attacks by police on their dances, will be held Thursday. 8:30 p.m., at the Social Youth Culture Club, 275 Broadway, Brooklyn.

Sol Rose and Hy Hodes will be tried this morning at 9 a.m. in Bridge Plaza Court. Several others were tried Monday, two of whom are still in jail for lack of bail. These cases will come up on Friday at 9 a.m, in the same court.

These ‘experts’ can be depended upon not to stress too much, now that they are hard at work ballyhooing the fight, the defeats suffered by Baer and the bad showings made by the cheese champ. For instance, how badly Loughran showed them both up. What the sports’ writers hand out is ‘that only through Baer’s clever deception in allowing Carnera to toss him around easily when they sparred together in the movie was the match made,’ the inference be- ing that Baer is likely to win the title; and who does not want to see a title change hands? “Once again America will be su- preme.
