~ Pave — TH5 OAYLY WORKER, SEW YORE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20,1 Se OE oi NE ERR ARREARS RE ET Organize To Strike Against New NRA Attack In Textile New Wage Cut | Is Ordered By N.R.A, In Mills Urge Organization of \ction Committees in All Mills NEW YORK.—The N nal Tex~- tile Workers Union a call yesterd to all textile workers to organize in the mills and prepare to strike for a 60-cent an hour min- imum wage in the cofton industry and the 30-hour week. The call was issued following the e of an N. R, A, order that| tion in all cotton mills is to | t 25 per cent after June 1. | Although Thomas F. McMahon, | International Pres United Textile Worke: J. Gorman, t: have announced that 300,000 textile workers would be called on strike if the curtailment goes into effect, | it is a well-known fact that these are leaders, particularly who co-op- | erated with the N.R.A. and the mill | owners in getting the one week lay- off in the silk mills and raised the demand for the 30-hour week with- | out an increase in pay. These gentlemen, who are now at- tempting to head the developing Strike movement in order to betray it, helped the N. R. A. put across the infamous textile code which es- tablished wages at $13 in the North | and $12 in the South; which brought | the most intense stretch-out and Speed-up in the mills, and which has been used to crush any attempt of the workers to strike. The National Textile Workers Union, the only body that brought forward a real workers’ code as against the strikebreaking Cotton Textile Coae, is now calling on the Workers to prepare to strike for the workers’ code, The 25 per cent curtailment in cotton comes at a time when the living standards of the textile work- | ers are already at a ridiculously low level. A curtailment in cotton pro- duction means a drastic cut in the wages of the cotton workers. Workers of the United Textile Workers Union and the National Textile Workers Union must now unite to stop this new attempt to reduce their wages. Don’t rely on McMahon and Gor- man. They have already betrayed the textile workers to the bosses. Organize your own action com- mittees in the mills. Prepare to strike for the following demands: 1. A minimum of 60 cents an hour in the cotton mills; 2. No re- duction in wages for the workers | making more than 60 cents; 3. A Suarantee of at least 30 hours a week and 40 weeks a year: 4. A guarantee of at least $750 a year to the lowest paid worker, the government and employers to make up the difference in wages caused by the curtailment of hours; 5. Reduction of the Present machine load per worker in the entire industry.

Muste, Chair- man of the so-called American | Workers Party, an organization that | uses radical phrases to trap workers | and tie them to A. PF. of L. policies. Muste said he favored an imme- diate general strike and his organi- zations had been agitating for it for the past two weeks. When asked, however, whether the A. W. P. was planning any con- crete steps to prepare for a general strike, he was very vague. Asked whether the A. W. P. and Muste- controlled Unemployed League would send delegates to a united front conference being held tonight to or- ganize mass support for the general Strike, he answered by raising tech- nical issues, such as the fact that his organizations had not received an official call to the conference and that he didn’t know whether there were responsible organizations calling it, Using similar tactics as Ramsey, he refused to state whether his or-| ganizations would or would not send | delegates or whether he personally was in favor of doing so. Muste said he believed the A. F, of L. officials would call a general strike if the Auto-Lite strike isn’t settled. Informed that Ramsey re- fused to commit himself on the question, he said he couldn't under- stand it. When told that Ramsey had said “Taft has been very help- ful,” he professed surprise, Asked whether he would be ready to pub- licly criticize Ramsey for such state- ment, he said yes. The fact remains, however, that Musteites at all times follow the policy of non-critcism of the A. F. of L. msileaders, evidently on the principle enunciated by Muste him- self in the current issue of his or- gan, “Labor Action,” that A. F. of L. leaders must be allowed to “ex- Pose themselves.” Though Muste told your corres- pondent he opposed all forms of ar- bitration, neither he nor his lieute- nants criticized arbitration at their meeting held in Court House Square here Saturday. Musteites, while rejecting offers of militant organization for united ac- tion, are maintaining the friendliest relations with A. F. of L. leaders. Shielding at all times their treach- erous maneuvers from workers. It is clear that Muste and his Amer- ican Workers Party are nothing but the tail of the A. F, of L. kite.

The | wer will be found in the | following article, addressed to | Socialist workers by the chairman | of the Youth section of the Amer- | ican League Against War and | Fascism, the organization that | called on all organizations to plan ' for one united demonstration on May 30. ey: Sito JAMES LERNER Chairman, Youth Section, American League Against War and Fascism Members of the Young Peoples Socialist League: (OMRADES: The leaders of your or- ganization have issued state-| ments concerning the May (30th demonstration that are so misleading that the Na- tional Youth Day arrange- ments committee feels it necessary to make its position clear. To make possible a united dem- onstration on May 30th, we pro- posed unity based on three points: 1) One banner to head the pa- | By | | Sec’y of War Dern For BigArmy;Davis Talks “Disarming” (Continued from Page 1) not “offensive.” His enunciation of the U. S, Government's willingness “to join the other interested powers in a substantial proportionate reduc- tion of naval tonnage” is an in- nocuous proposal in the face of Japanese Imperialism’s known de- termination to obtain an increase in the 5-5-3.3 ratio, set by the London Naval Conference, at the 1933 Naval Conference. In addition to failing to point out just what degree of “reduction” it has in mind, the U. S. government declares in unmistakable meaning that “in the matter of naval armaments ... we have felt it necessary to build up approxi- mately to the treaty limits...” Such a building program, for which $40,000,000 has just been given the Secretary of the Navy as a con- tribution to the final program of 102 warships, is estimated to cost, ultimately, approximately one bil- lion dollars. The U.S. proposal for the abolition of tanks and heavy mobile artillery, is, superficially, a generous offer from an imperialist government. | However, the high degree of devel- {opment of American industry and | the extent to which it has been fit- | ted into the elaborate war depart- ment industrialization plan make it certain that U.S. could get off to 2 much quicker start in building these armaments at the beginning of a war than Japan, France or Great Britain. Davis’ reiteration of the bombing planes proposal, the old demagogic appeal to the masses of workers, who instinctively associate airplane raids with modern war, is a crafty pro- posal, for military planes are a two- edged weapon. Being r@atively cheap, even small countries can af- ford them. A few planes could do a lot of damage, although greatly outnumbered. One need only to think of what a single bomber could do to the Panama Canal. To get rid of such a menace to U. S. Im- perialism is of no small importance, enthusiastic meeting of workers at the Spadina Concert Hall which de- manded the release of Ernst Thael- mann and all victims of Austrian | Unity of Youth Against War rade, bearing the name “United Youth Demonstration Against War and Fascism.” This was conceded by us to satisfy the groups which objected to the use of this titie “National Youth Day.” 2) Each organization or group participating to issue leaflets and literature in accordance with de- cisions made weeks hefore by National Committces and confer- ences. 3) After agreement on all de- tails, one committee composed of one representative from each city- wide organization represented at both conferences to be formed to handle further details. We agreed to the Y.P.S.L. demand for a joint leaflet in which National Youth Day not be mentioned. (In | Y.P.S.L. statements it is untruth- fully stated that James Lerner re- fused this point.) We agreed to the Y.P.S.L. demand that each group of organizations march under the banner of its re- spective conference. ‘We agreed to the Y.P.S.L. demand that there be one banner at the head of the parade carrying one name agreed by all. This was also to be used to cover the speakers’ stand. We could not go against the in- structions placed upon us by eur conference of 253 delegates and re- frain from issuing the leaflets for National Youth Day at all. We believe, that as representing a con- ference with delegates representing 41.500 organized young people we had conceded as much as possible, particularly in view of the fact that some of the most basic demands were not placed before the confer- ence as a whole, but in the small committee which met after the conference. The Y.P.S.L. confer- ence of 13 organizations, mostly very small in size, could have been expected to mect us half way, as we attempted to meet them. This is our position. Tt shows willingness to unite in every pos- sible way. The Y.P. leaders found it impossible to continue to refuse participation in united fronts. The desire for unity among young workers and students is too strong. So they decided on a maneuver whereby they would make the offer of unity and then, by a trick, walk out and throw the blame on us. In our opinion the facts speak for themselves. Do not let these ma- neuvers break the invineible strength of the young fighters against war and fascism. Join in the mass demonstration on National Youth Day. Police Use Gas And Guns Again In Dock Strike (Continued from Page 1) son, Officials of the International Longshoremen’s Association, were also found guilty of supporting the shipowners and the police and of sabotaging the picket line. Dick Parker was buried today and I. L. A. officials cooperated with the shipowners and police by attempt- ing to suppress any demonstration in honor of the murdered long- shoreman. No addresses were allowed that would show why Parker died. No banners were permitted in the procession of thousands who fol- lowed the hearse. A thousand members of the Fish- erman and Cannery Workers Union marched from their hall in a body to the funeral. Striking seamen, Members of the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union, marched with Sea- men’s United Front delegation.

F. of L. officials in prolonging the Minne- apolis “truce.” The Central Labor Union offi- cials, the Regional Labor Board and the Auto Lite officials are centering their strategy toward a postpone- ment of the general strike until it can be prevented altogether. Mean- while, they are trying to demobilize the picket lines, and finally an- nounce that the strikers have “won” arbitration, with all demands left to the arbitration board. This betrayal policy becomes im- possible with the present mood of the workers, and the general strike becomes extremely likely. The Communist Party is widely agitating for the election of rank and file strike committees in all factories and unions, At the union meeting Monday night the workers eagerly seized the leaflets issued by the Communist Party. “The leaflets were read by every striker before the meeting convened, warning against a sell- out and calling for the rejection of settlement until the original de- mands are granted, and urging an immediate general strike. A copy of the Daily Worker was held up on the platform by a striker and was greeted with great applause, Five hundred Daily Workers were distributed at the union meeting alone. The officials of the A. F. of L., to cover up their postponement of the general strike, called for a “vic- tory’ torchlight procession, culmin- ating in a mass meeting next Fri- day night. Workers organizations are enthusiastically planning to participate and are asking for rep- resentation on the arrangements committee. The Communist Party is holding meetings daily in front of the Court House at the noon recesses. A big mass meeting of the Communist Party was called for Thursday night. May 31, at the Roi Davis large Au- ditorium, with Robert Minor the main speaker. At this meeting the strike situation and strategy of both sides (the workers, and the employ- ers and their government boards) will be analyzed. John Williamson, Ohio district organizer, Wilson, a Negro worker, I. O. Ford, Commu- nist candidate for Governor, and Eggert, Toledo organizer of the Party, will speak. The following telegram was re- ceived: “Communist Party head- quarters, Toledo, Ohio. This con- vention assembled in session sends congratulations to all concerned for the splendid resistance shown in the Auto Lite Toledo dispute. We pull for your ultimate success. (Signed) Smith, Secretary, M.E.S.A,” The Communist Party leaflet is- sued today says, “Up to the be- ginning of this week the Auto Lite strike has been the most outstanding triumph of strike action in closing down a scab plant in 15 years of American labor history.” But the leaflet warns that arbitration and postponement of the general strike are a swindle intended to snatch victory out of the hands of the workers.

Bertha Long Conducts Own Defense, Gets Vicious Sentence NEW YORK.—Police barred all workers yesterday at the trial of the workers arrested at the demonstra- tion before the Welfare Department on Saturday, May 26. I. L. D. at- torney Joseph Tauber demanded that all workers be permitted to attend the trial, and that the court be cleared of cops. Claiming that the police who were to be called as witnesses were still in the hospital, the District At- torney asked for adjournment until June 12, but the I. L. D. won ad- journment until Friday, June 1, Tauber demanded that the ex- cessive bail of $1,500 be reduced, but when the judge heard Tauber say “These are workers,” bail was continued at $1,500. The District Attorney demanded that the “editor, publisher, presi- dent and the reporter who had written the articles calling the demonstration” be subpoenaed as witnesses. Earlier in the week, Clarence Hathaway, editor of the Daily Worker, was summoned, but Was no‘ called at yesterday's trial. Workers are urged to pack the trial Friday, June 1, at 10 a.m., at the First District Court, Franklin and Center Sts. Pe aay Indicts Police and Relief Bertha Long arrested at the Home Relief Bureau at Spring and Elizabeth Sts. on May 22, defended 10 Days in Jail for De Court yesterday, indicting both the police brutality and the Welfare Department's starvation system, She was being tried together with Vittoria Raffe, wife of an unem- | ployed worker, mother of two chil- dren and a third child less than a | month away. “I was arrested,” Bertha Long declared, “because I dared to pro- test against starvation. I was ar- rested because the arresting officer, Conway, by his own admission, has stated that he singled me out be- cause he has seen me on other demonstrations; because of this I charge that I was singled out.” In cross-examining Conway, who had arrested her, Long conclusively proved that her participation in other demonstrations had caused her to be arrested, and not “disor- derly conduct” with which she was charged. Conducts Admirable Defense Continually harassed by the judge and the prosecuting attorney, she nevertheless conducted an ad- mirable defense, exposing the class nature of the court, proving to an audience of workers that no worker can expect justice. When Long stated that she was unemployed, the judge interjected, “We'll see just how much money these people do get from the city!” But Long spoiled his game when she replied, “Last week I got nothing. Before that I received $2 a week, but even this miserable sum has been cut to $1.95.” At this point the judge stopped the exami- nation. When she asked permission to sum up, the judge denied it, bluster- in Prices—60 E. 13th St—WORKERS’ CENTER ___|| her own case at the First District ¥ ing, “I don't care what you have to say.” Then he pronounced sen- tence of “ten days for disorderly conduct.” Pregnant Woman Tried Vittoria Raffle, mother of two children and in her ninth month of pregnancy, is emaciated, weak, hardly able to walk or talk. Her husband has been jobless for three years. When her case came up, the judge also attempted to show that they were getting money from the city and were “ungrateful” for it. And Mrs. Raffe, in a low, barely audible voice, testified: “I have had three letters from doctors of Bellevue Hospital which have been given to the Home Re- lief Bureau, stating that I need a special diet and am in need of a blood transfusion. This has even been brought to Commissioner Hodson’s attention, but he too re- fused all aid. “For my family the Relief Bu- reau allows $5.75 a week. I went to the Home Relief on May 22 be- cause my gas had been shut off. The cops picked me out from about 300 people who were listening to speakers from the Unemployment Councils. It was necessary for me to stand aside because of my con- dition. “The policeman pushed me to the ground, twisted my arm, dragged me for three blocks and then shoved me brutally into a cab and took me to the Elizabeth St. police station. There I was denied even @ drink of water.” Dwyer took exception to this testimony, storming, "If the police are accused of this,” he shouted, “they must be given a chance to appear themselves.” Despite the manding Rent and Relief ° | Workers to Jam Court at Trial of Ten on June 1 damning testimony of other wit- nesses, called by the International Labor Defense Attorney in her be- half, Judge Dwyer, without hesita- tion pronounced sentence of ten days on Mrs. Raffe, and then sus- pended sentence, saying: “Only because of your condition am I suspending sentence.

Most of these great ones of yester- year will suffer; at least Mr. Ross will not lose thereby, Even Mr. Benny Leonard, the idol, I am afraid, will be punctured, Mr. Ross won the title fair and square, with ease and with grace, It would have thrilled the mar- row a little if he had won by a knockout; but his opponent was one of the gamest and one of the hardest hitting boxers on the levee. It will be pointed out that Mr. Ross displayed intelligence in utilizing skill instead of rash- ness and hunger for a knockout; and that, indeed, when he did open up he punched steadily and fruitfully. * . * Hoe one of the judges, O'Rourke by name, ever entertained the idea that McLarnin had won, is hard to see, unless one is accus- tomed to seeing what underlies de- cisions. It was a fortunate thing, perhaps, that Eddie Forbes hap- | pened to be the third man in the ring. Mr, Forbes may be prejudiced against one who persistently re- veals what can be seen under deci- sions—as I have learned—but as a referee he has an honesty and effi- ciency superior to that of any other referee in the New York district. He did a perfect job Monday night, Or ie Or thing was unexpected in this contest, however, and that was McLarin’s exhibition, It had been proclaimed by all that Ross would put on a masterly boxing caper. But McLarnin was the favorite. He proved a wasted, clumsy boy. His dangerous right lurked use- lessly at his side through most of the fight. Ross jabbed him con- tinuously without a return. Early in the fight the Chicago lightweight brought blood upon McLarnin’s face and when the 15 rounds were over, his eye and nose seemed to be ex- tremely damaged. On occasion Mc- Larnin jabbed rapidly but rarely did these jabs have any strength, Ross evaded most, of them, anyhow, and countered with hooks which sometimes veered McLarnin to one side. Toward the end of the battle Mc- Larnin bethought himself of the right. Now it was a hopeless, in- strument, however.

McLarnin’s hook fell either on Ross’ forearm or awkwardly on the Chicago boy’s back. When Ross desired to demonstrate his strength and ventured into an exchange, Mc- Larnin was no better off. Ross was the surer puncher ‘HERE were a number of exciting flurries during the contest. In other days, these were used by Mc- Larnin to sneak in the annihilating hook; now they mainly made him look foolish, His aim was so bad in these, in fact, that he was guilty of several low blows. The tenth round brought the only knockdowns of the affair. Ross was the first to bounce on the resin. It looked more like a slip than the result of a blow, They were near the ropes, be- tween McLarnin’s and a neutral corner, when McLarnin'’s right came over, and Ross, going away, twisted and went down. He was up before a count was startid. McLarnin desperately rushed in, but Barney maneuvered hint around to another corner and be+ fore MeLarnin could become aware of what was happening, a right sent him down. He did no/ allow a count, either, Ross, too, was bleeding during the last rounds. In the fourteenth, after the round was half over, he walked resolutely into McLarnin and ex changed blows with him. The punches then came in quick suc- cession from both sides: lefts and rights swinging. Frequently Mc- Larnin swayed or was driven from one corner to the other. In the fifteenth Ross used the same tactic, McLarnin strove to force him into @ corner and nail him; but Ross was to clever. A weary McLarnin took the steps to his corner at the finish, Shuey ee | ae weighed 142 pounds, several pounds below his natural fighting weight. He has fought best at 147 pounds. The process that he went through getting his weight down, in accordance with the agree= ment between the two men, un- doubtedly contributed heavily to his enmeshment. Ross, on the other hand, weighed in at 137% pounds, @ poundage that put him in excel- lent shape. A return meeting may be drawn up, but return meetings are always bruited about when a champion loses. They rarely become a fact, however. McLarnin would have little chance with his conqueror.
