The Darrow report confirms this development, It states: “Complaints come from small busness that they cannot pay the minimum wage set by the codes. Analysis shows that this difficulty arises out of the increased costs ef production, WHICH HAVE THEIR ROOT IN HIGHER PRICES FOR RAW MATERIAL” (one of the evidence of monopol- istie tendencies). The N. R. A. was to “regulate in- dustry” in the interests of the people. And Norman Thomas and the A. F. of L. leaders asked for places on the N. R. A. The N. R. A. is nothing but the instrument for cutting more profits out of the hides of the masses, said the Communist Party and the Daily Worker. We must not “improve the N. R. A, as Thomas urges. We must destroy it as an agency of Wall Street.” The Darrow report confirms this Communist analysis to the full: “The anomaly arises from that form of adminittration that mo- nopolistic combinations are ex- pected to enforce against them- selves a law to prevent monopoly.” Darrow expresses amazement at the extraordinary monopoly grip fostered by the N. R. A. He sees in this some kind of miscarriage of the purpose of the Roosevelt govern- ment. He does not see that it was pre- cisely to accomplish the tightening of the Wall Street monoply grip that the N. R. A. was created by the Roosevelt administration. The N. R. A. has failed, declares Darrow, On the contrary, the N. R. A. has succeeded in achieving at least part of it set out to achieve, the solidifying of the economic po- ition of the big Wall Street mo- nopolies, The Roosevelt government is dis- mayed by the Darrow report. They didn’t bargain for this blast of truth. The Darrow review board was created by Roosevelt and Johnson to give the masses the impression that some of the “defects” of the N. R. A., which was bringing such palpable misery to the masses, would be “investigated and im- proved.” Now Johnson and Roosevelt have what they ordered—an honest in- vestigation of the N. R. A. And it is they who are leading the fight to squelch and crush it, The Darrow board is being cursed by Johnson for doing ex- actly what it was supposedly cre- ated to do—to give a truthful re- port of conditions under the N. R, A. They are trying to wipe out the impression of the report. But they cannot erase the view which it gives of the Rooseyelt- Wall Street government, 4S Ae 'E Darrow report gives an ex- traordinary confirmation of the Daily Worker analysis of the N.R.A. The Communist Party of the United States based itself on Marx- ism-Leninism in the N.R.A. slave cores. The N.R.A. “planning” will “give the masses a chance to use the codes for their own benefit,” Nor- man Thomas told the American working class. ‘ On the contrary, answered the Communist Party, the words of Lenin will come true: “The advance of capitalism leads to the ever-growing power of mo- nopoly capital into-ever new sec- tions of the population.” With stunning accumulation of evidence, the Darrow report con- firms the Marxist-Leninist analy- sis, which the Communist Party made of the Roosevelt N.R.A. from the very beginning.

Reports from Portland and Ta- coma show that similar action has been taken in these ports, but the reactionary leaders of the I. L. A. still have a grip on the situation in Seattle. A wire from San Pedro stating that the local membership of the I. L. A. backs Lewis is false, for the question of giving full power to Lewis was never taken up at a membership meeting for fear that the strikers would override the pro- posal. Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Secretary of Labor who is here to lead the work of strikebreaking, has issued a long-winded statement warning the city against the strong Communist element in the strike. The strikers are aware, however, that it is the Communist Party members and the Western Worker, official organ of the Communist Party on the West Coast, that have given the best leadership, guidance and assistance to the strike. McGrady advised Lewis that a | unanimous vote of the District Ex- | ecutive dispenses with consultation with the membership of the union. Meanwhile the ports are tied up tight.

Leaders of the International Sea- men’s Union, fearing the militancy of the rank and file, have not called a strike meeting of the seamen. The membership of the union, how- ever, has demanded that one be called at once, In the port of Tacoma the cap- tain of the 8. 8, Topila has offered to concede to all demands of the striking seamen. A united picket line has been set up in Marshfield, Ore. All labor organizations are represented on the strike front: International Long- shoremen’s Association, National Lumber Workers Union, Fishermen and Cannery Workers Union. Com- munists are playing a leading role in the strike. The harbor at Everett is com- pletely tied up. A demonstration led by the International Longshore- men’s Association at the Unem- ployed Council has forced the relief heads here to agree to give striking lJongshoremen relief. oe ate PHILADELPHIA, May 21.—There is a mighty rumbling among long- shoremen against Polly Baker and his I, L, A. henchmen, who have sold them out many times, and kept them separated into deep sea and coastwise groups in order to retain a stranglehold over them, and pre-) vent united action of the rank and file. The Unemployed seamen are carrying on a militant struggle for control of their own relief. Crews of two ships bound for the West Coast have struck in solidarity with the striking seamen and longshore- men on the Coast. The longshoremen have organized an M. W. I. U, local on Pier 46, the first militant longshoremen’s union in the city. They have de- nounced the splitting tactics of Baker, and are demanding an even rate of 85 cents an hour for all longshoremen on the waterfront. EMERGENCY! URGENT!

Th vagrancy is a stupid absurdity; and there is no evidence which will hold on any more serious charge.

Inasmuch as these murders were | the cold-blooded work of company | thugs attacking strikers without | provocation, the charge seems un- | believable. Nevertheless, the plan to pin these deaths on strikers and their Communist advisers was def- initely under w Ten miners were arrested and charged with murder, and warrants were issued for 30 more. This placed the A. F. of L. bureaucrats (who were nominally leading the strike and actually making every effort to break it) in a very tight position. If they permitted the charge of inciting to murder to stand against their enemies the Communists, they would also be forced to acknowledge | that union members had followed this incitement and were mixed up in the violence which had swept the strike area. The A. F. of L. mis- leaders, Lipscomb, Brown, Finch and Colos, realized that such a frank frame-up of their own men would completely discredit them. They therefore wired Washington deny- ing that strikers had been respon- sible for the murders and placing the blame where it belonged—on hired gangsters sworn in as deputy sheriffs. This spoiled the scheme concocted in the feverish brains of the police and the White Legionnaires. They found that there was not even @ flimsy basis for the charge of “in- citing to murder.” But they are still determined to destroy the six Communists, either by a long term on the barbarous chain-gang or by direct lynch tactics. The series of brutal raids which have taken place on workers’ homes in Birmingham during the past ten days have been largely for the purpose of collecting evidence which would be sufficiently | damaging to connect the imprisoned workers with charges of stimulating | race riots, caling on the Negroes to kill their white bossés, ete, ete. Since no such nonsensical appeals exist, and since the only groups in Alabama who are doing their best to fan the flames of race hatred are the White Legion, the police, and the bosses—it naturally follows that the bloody campaign against Com- munists is being forced into illegal channels. The six toilers in Jefferson County Jail may be handed over to the White Legion at any mo- ment. They may be released un- der the pretense that their cases are dropped, and picked up by | Legion gangsters in the very shadow of the Court House. They are at the mercy of lawless Fas- cism, which is trying to crush free | speech and working class organ- | ization in Alabama, The widest protest must be organized in- stantly. | Their danger increases every day, every hour! their Wisconsin 17-0288 Dr. N.
