June 48.—The plan of the ship- owners for the longshoremen to return to work without winning their basic wage de- mands, approved by Joseph P. Ryan, head of the Inter- national Longshoremen’s Associa- tion, was unanimously rejected by the strikers in San Francisco, Port- land, Tacoma, Everett, Astoria and San Diego yesterday. ‘The longshoremen, by 4 standing vote, reaffirmed their determination to continue the strike until the de- mands of both the longshoreraen and the seamen of all maritime unions are won. Ryan Agrees to Scabs Working Ryan’s agreement proposed a joint shipowners’ and union hiring hall, with no provision to oust the strikebreakers from the piers. It merely contained a general state- ment about “no discrimination” and the question of the seamen’s de- mands were ignored completely. The agreement would have compelled the stevedores to work side by side with the scabs. Reports from Los Angeles show ® slight majority for the agreement, but less than the necessary two- thirds required to put it into effect. Ryan has rushed to San Pedro to try to break the strike at that point. No action has been taken on the agreement in the Seattle port. Three thousand longshoremen were at the meeting in San Fran- cisco Sunday night. When Ryan started to speak he was greeted with cat-calls and booing from all sides. Gets Razzed Strikers shouted at him from all parts of the hall: “Fink! Faker! go back east?” “Why don't you call a strike in the East?” “Shut up, we didn’t come here to hear you!” Indeed, the rank and file took command of the situation. Rank and file members of all the striking unions took the floor and appealed for united action. Caves, chairman of the strike committee of the International Sea- men’s Union, pleaded with the men for complete unity and repudiated the attacks of the I. S. U. leader- Why don’t you (Continued on Page 2) ILD Urges Workers Protest Arrest of Mother Ella Bloor Veteran Farm Leader Held In Nebraska Without Charges NEW YORK.—The International Labor Defense issued a call today to all its branches and other work- ers’ organizations to join immedi- ately the move protesting the ar- rest of Mother Ella Reeve Bloor, veteran leader of workers and farmers, who was arrested at a demonstration in Loup City, Neb., Friday. Mother Bloor is being held in Hall County Jail in Grand Island without charges. A strike of the chicken pickers had been started after girl workers woote the Young Communist League requesting or- ganizers to aid them in the fight for better conditions. The girls had been receiving 212 cents for each chicken prepared. In calling to workers to mass to the defense of Mother Bloor, the ILD. said: “Our beloved comrade and leader cannot be allowed to stay in jail. Her arrest is an obvious move on the country, from factories, schools, for the freedom of the heroic Ger- man proletarian leader, Thaelmann. ‘The Nazi consul here is keeping himself closely closeted within his office. A delegation of ten students from the National Student League, which visited him today, were forcibly ejected by a squad of po- lice when they tried to voice their protests against the imprisonment of Thaelmann. They promised to return with a larger delegation Thursday morning. Organizations yesterday report— ed intense activity in preparation for the “Free Thaelmann” demon- stration and march to the Ger- man Consulate Saturday, 9:30 a.m. from Union Square. The Anti-Nazi Federation yesterday is— sued a call to all anti-fascist or- ganizations, particularly Socialist and A. F. of L. workers, urging them to “unite in making June 23rd a historic demonstration for the freedom of Ernst Thaelmann.” The Federation reports that thou- sands of “Free Thaelmann” post cards are pouring into Germany daily. Local 301 of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union sent a telegram to the Nazi Ambassador in Washington demanding the re- lease of Thaelmann and all poli- tical prisoners. The Eagle Dress Workers Shop Committee sent a cable of protest to Germany. New Jersey Finnish workers also wired their protest to the German air festival held Sunday in Paramus, N. J., where hundreds gathered. reat era Two Pickets Arrested In Philadelphia, Pa. Two pickets were arrested in front of the German Consulate here this morning, charged with breach of the peace and inciting to riot. On Saturday three others were arrested there, on the same charges. These workers insisted on defending them- charged. One of them, Peter Simms, is threatened with deportation, im- his case under consideration. On Friday a protest .demonstra- tion will be held at the North Ger- man Lloyd Pier under the joint auspices of the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union and Communist Party Section 1. Next week regular picketing of the company’s office will be started. ig * 2 Pickets Fined $20; West at Herndon Meet BOSTON, June 18.—Two workers arrested for picketing the Nazi consulate demanding the release of Ernst Thaelmann here, were fined $20 each today by Judge Carr, who said: “You are trying to start a war with Germany.” Don West, Communist Party or- ganizer in the South, will speak at an Angelo Herndon protest mass meeting Wednesday night at the Dudley Opera House.

Glassford Bid $25 For Arson 'To Blame Reds Admits Trying to Plan Frame-up Blaze in Imperial Valley SAN DIEGO, June 18.—General Pelham D. Glassford, federal medi- ator in Imperial Valley, offered $25 to burn down Azteca Hall, Brawley Union headquarters, so that Com- munists could be framed on the charge and sentenced to long terms in prison for arson, it was revealed here, Glassford admitted having ex- pressed such a pian of fascist pro- vocation. “It was mereiy a sugges- tion indicative of meeting these al- leged agitators in their own way,” he said, according to the San Diego Sun. ‘The exposure developed out of a quarrel. between Glassford and the growers. | Prior to the quarrel, which com- | menced four days ago, Glassford had served the growers and shippers well. He appeared on the same program at fascist meetings with Charles Nice, head of the Imperial Valley Anti-Communist Association, and with Hynes of the Los Angeles “red squad.” At these meetings vio- lence against the workers was ad- vocated. Glassford himself stated that he could feel sympathy with the grow- ers no matter what means they took to protect their crops on which they had invested their money. And he repeatedly stated that there was “no trouble between the workers and the growers.” Glassford even is- sued his own bulletin in Spanish, attacking the Cannery and Agicul- tural Workers Industrial Union, and circulated it throughout the valley. He repeatedly called the union lead- ers “skunks who have no rights at all,” and he did all that he could to stir up and encourage the vigi- lante terror against all of those who were active in union work.

Speed-Up Kills One, Injures Nine | At Ford Plant) One More May Die from Explosion in River Rouge Foundry | (Svecial to the Daily Worker) DETROIT, Mich. June 18— Criminal negligence and excessive speed-up at the Ford River Rouge plant at Dearborn was responsible | for the death of Russel Clark, whose head was crushed in a con- veyor. Almost certain death is ex-| pected for Martin Kavuk, John Evans, M. Vartaniana, John Meak | and Jesse Morgan, and eight other workers were seriously injured. In| addition many were less seriously | injured in an explosion in the die cast balcony of the foundry result- ing from a leak in a tank contain- ing napthalene. This highly ex-| plosive, inflammable chemical} dripped on hot castings and ex- ploded, sending flames through the entire department and endangering the lives of more than 200 workers. Indications are that the com- pany is trying to cover up an in- vestigation by closing the depart- ment.

They feel he is a friend and trust him.” The Committee of Ten is now being used to try to bind the rank and file to the Green-Tighe-Roosevelt, no-strike arbitration policy.

A huge mass conference at Taylor Springs Sunday demanded their release. The prisoners are Labor Defense Wittenberg, of the International Renner, Pancik, Hapshinsky, Ger~ Labor Defense; Hutchins, Prickett, the Unemployment Council, and ulla, Reed Holland and Staples, of Adams, marine organizer, They are charged with “conspiracy.” Workers are urged to wire proe tests to Sheriff Saathoff, of Mont: gomery County, Il. ri Four Delegates Resign at Socialist Convention In Protest at Killing of United Front Appeal NEW BEDFORD, Mass., June 17. —Five leading workers in the So- cialist Party created a sensation by walking out of the State Convention of the Socialist Party, now being held here, and handed in their res- ignations in protest at the oppor- tunist policies being pushed by the leadership. Those who left the convention in protest are Paul Wicks of the Greenfield Local, Carrol Bush of Northampton, Edward Spelman, Edith Ramsey of Holyoke and Hugo Gregory of Springfield. Wicks was a member of the State Committee for the past three years and candidate for Congress on the 8. P. ticket, and Carrol Bush was secretary of the } Northampton branch. Both have announced their intention c7 join- ing the Communist Party. These actions came as a resul: of the refusal of the officialdom of the convention to discuss a resolu- tion on the United Front, a resolu- tion supporting the Socialist victor- ies in the Soviet Union, and a reso- lution denouncing the class col- laboration policies of the A. F. of L. leadership. Erase Thaclmann’s Name The convention struck the name of Thaelmann from a resolntion demanding his freedom, limiting it instead to mentioning “all anti- fascist prisoners." * Forced by rank and file pressure the convention adopted a resolution supporting the Workers Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill, H. R. 7598. However, they refused to give the floor to a speaker from the Amer- ican League Against War and Fas- cism, who came to urge united struggle against imperialist war and the menace of Fascism. The old Socialist bureaucracy, led by Alfred Baker Lewis, sought on every occasion to smother discus- sion on vital issues. All militant resolutions were tabled or referred to committees. Lewis is at present sponsoring a bill in the State Legislature which resembles the fake “unemployment insurance” bill of Senator Wagner, Many Join C. P. The actions of the Massachusetts Socialists follows in similar actions by leading class-conscious workers in the Socialist Party who are dis- gusted with the opportunist policies of the Socialist leadership at the Detroit Convention.
