June 14.—Pinning the resvoncibility for the Inss of the Haverhill shoe strike directly on the shoulders of the weaker elements of the -District Council and the mis- leaders of the Co-ordinating Com- mittee, the Halletts and the Zim- Mermans, who sabotaged the mil- itant struggle of the Haverhill shoe workers in their recent strike, N. Sparks, district organizer of the Communist Party. sneaking before the Lasters Local of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union, pointed out that the present time is no time to get panic-stricken. “The present agreement,” he said. “extending present prices for 18 Months, was forced on the shoe workers in Haverhill by the General Executive Board and the reformist, elements in the District Council against the opposition of the Com- munists and the militants. This agreement and the present policy of the officials of the union, the policy of attempting to offer the manufacturers wage levels lower than those offered by the Protective Union is a suicidal policy that will lead to. continuous wage cuts and to the smashing of all union or- ganization among the shoe work- ers.” Drawing the lessons from the Haverhill strike and the present wave of strikes throughout the en- tire country. Sparks pointed out that the United Shoe and Leather Work- ers’ Union adopted in their consti- tution a program for a class strug- gle union and that only by follow- ing this policy could the union be strengthened and real concessions be forced from the manufacturers instead of the union making con- cessions to the bosses. Hallet of the General Executive Board, who was one of those re- sponsible for the sell-out of the Haverhill strike, took the floor after Sparks had spoken and admitted that he had opposed the strike there. half of the four hundred workers at | the meeting walked out.

BRIGGS SENATE MANEUVERS ON BONUS ENATOR SHIPSTEAD of Minne-| sota, Farmer-Labor, pretended he | was a nice fellow and brought the! Bonus Bill on the floor this week. | Those who think Senator Shipstead | is a friend of the vets are dye for another jolt. This maneuver partly saved the face of the Republican | and Democratic “friends of the veterans” who did not want to lose their Presidential patronage. At the sane time, the floor leaders of both parties played their party! game by voting against it. But the real reason for forcing the bill on | the floor was rank and file pressure and the persistence of the Com-| mittee of Three (now the Resident | Committee in Washington) elected at the Veterans National Rank and File Convention. As a rider to the Silver Bill, this maneuver also left open the excuse for many Senators) that they could not vote for both. | We must push this campaign, force a@ showdown and with all our) strength, rally our friends and sym- | pathizers to demand that Congresss | pass the Bonus Bill. “Ger ae’ Lest We Forget IN 1932, the excuse was, we would! bankrupt the Treasury. 1933, they feared inflation, 1934 finds a similar excuse. This time, they say “if we pay the bonus, why not the farm- ers and unemployment insurance?”! Our answer to this is “Why not?” Since most of the veterans are workers and farmers, there is noth- ing amiss in giving them full jus- tice in the way of bonus, and relief. Out of the 32 senators coming up for re-election, 11 voted for the Bill, 15 against, 6 not recorded. These fellows must have been hiding in the woods. Oregon and Arkansis; should take particular notice of their Senators, The Republican Party is making a drive for new blood and young “progressive” men to stage a comeback next Fall. When they speak in your territory, ask them why they didn’t vote for the bonus. The Democrats are in the same boat, with a majority, 15 of those coming up for re-election voted against the Bill.

Among the demands are the following: 1. All disabled vets to be im- mediately placed under jurisdic- tion of the Veterans’ Bureau, and given compensation, hospitaliza- tion and domiciliary care. 2, All unemployed veterans to be given full cash relief by the Soldiers Welfare. Other cities and posts should take notice of these demands. Those demands have won the support of the following organizations in Min- neapolis. United Relief Workers Associa- tion—500 members. Central Branch, Council—545 workers. At a mass meeting on the pa- rade grounds, 30,000 truck strikers. These petitions were also sent to the Senators, the President, General Hines, Pat Harrison and all Con- gressmen, This. is the type of good work Minneapolis is doing since the rank and file convention. Our hat is off to Comrade Bean and Post No. 19. Let’s hear from the rest of your rank and filers throughout’ the! country. Get after your Senators, friends, sympathizers, clubs, unions, deluge Congress with petitions and demands for the passing of the, bonus and the Three-Point Pro- gram. A BULLETIN report of the recent Rank and File Convention is about ready and will be sent out in the near future to all Posts. Get this bulletin, read it and discuss it, find out what happened in Wash- ington and what we can do to help the growth of the rank and file vet- erans movement.
