By MARGUERITE YOUNG LONG with the seamen’s +4 ficht for control of relief and iobs a true and valiant oletarian revolutionary developed ‘on the in Baltim: the picket joined hands with the employed and built a. united. front. between Negro and white seamen and longshoremen in under the noses of exposed and angered American Federation of Labor officials, for 21 as well as immediate eco- mands. ignificant, they translated their anti-war sentiment into action, setting up committees against war and fascism on ships, taking this issue to the workers in munitions tops, continually raising slogans gainst, seamen’s shipping arms, in short, leading a real beginning to- ward rooting the broadest united front. against war and fascism in the basic marine, steel and muni- tions industries. “What would you do today if an imperialist war began?” asked a leaflet issued by the Waterfront Unemployment Council on April 29. “Tf the enemy was marching into Baltimore, would you take up arms? Are we opposed to all wars? How can Lenin’s slogan, ‘Turn Imperial- ist War Into Civil War’ be co! cretely applied on ships and doc! The leaflet advertised, “Oy Forum on War—All Out!” The seamen mded several hundred strong. Man by man, the rank and file rose in the discussion, contributed or asked a question. A hundred or moze of those who joined the Communist Party and the Y.C.L. during several months, undertook an cducation campaign. They organized a school, holding regular classes in nearby waterfront pr ine they shacks, One of the teachers was a young white seaman, another Leonard Patterson, 0 Y.C.L.

A record kept by. one of them describes the hunger march to Washington on December 5, 1932: “Practically every seaman ‘on the beach’ in Baltimore went to Wash- ington and added his veice to those of thousands of other workers there for Unemployment Insuranes. The sight of the armed forces of Hoover and capitalism did es much to radi- calize the seamen as well as the eee workers, as much as anything else.” When thousands gathered in the National Convention Against Un- employment, last February, Balti- more seamen joined en masse. They marched to federal relief officials With a convention delegation and delivered a resolution declaring that 80,000 seamen “on the beach” in the United States. like other workers, must have protection through the enactment of the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill (H.R. 7598), When the shinowners’ code came up for hearing before N.R.A. officials, the emnlored and unemploved jour- neved en messe from Baltimore to Weshington, to add their rank and file denunciations of it to those of M.W.LU, leaders. ‘The seamen threw their energies in‘o the struggles of the employed with heroic spirit and discipline. Two, William Howe, 24-year-old white seaman, and Frank Peonles. a young Nezro seaman, organized ten strikes on shins in support of th> relief demends of the unem- pleved. The first dramatic united-front ' strikes occurred in November, and cleared a path for organization of Negro _ longshoremen by the M. W. 1.

Value of Gold Dollar January, 1933 of 1000] |Current Value’ i ble Bond} | af 1000 Gold Tamuary 1733 Ties Bond Thus, the foresighted investor who purchased ten 1000 gold rouble bonds in the early part of 1933 at a cost of $5,145 can resell them today for $8,713. This is because the gold bonds of the Soviet Union are payable in the equivalent of a fixed quantity of gold, and both principal and interest are paid in American currency at prevailing exchange rates. Any additional increase in the price of gold in terms of the dollar obviously would cause these bonds to further appreciate in value, SOVIET UNION 7% GOLD BONDS are the direct obligation of a nation which has met promptly every obligation which it has assumed during the entire 16 years of its existence. Among such payments were short and long term credits involved in the purchase of over $4.5 bil- lion in foreign goods. Long term marketability is as- sured the investor by the agree- ment of the State Bank of the U.S.S.R., to repurchase these bonds on demand of the holder at any time after one year from date of purchase, at par and accrued interest. The State Bank has a gold reserve of more than $706 million. Bonds are offered at par and accrued interest in denomina- tions of 100 and 1000 gold roubles.
