With a determined and | militant spirit the workers dis- persed the meeting and for several hours after battled the police, who wanted to clear the streets. | Over a hundred policemen were | mobilized and fought side by side with the Nazis to protect the meet- ing, but inside and outside the hall angry workers made known their demands with cries of “Free Thael- mann,” “Down with Hitler and Fas- cism,” etc. The meeting was a scheduled talk by a Chicago Nazi who was to speak on the topic “The Idiocy of Com- munism.” The meeting was opened with the Hitler salute and the sing- ing of “My Country 'Tis of Thee,” but a discordant note was struck by | a large section of the audience rais- ing their clenched fists and singing the International. The speech was continually interrupted by demands for the freedom of Thaelmann un- til a general melee started when Nazis and police tried to break up the picketing outside the hall. The workers outside stormed the hell,. sweeping the police, doors, windows, and badly frightened Nazis before them until they reached the inside. Inside the hall, eggs and tomatoes were flying amidst the shouts of “Free Thaelmann,” and “Down with Hitler.” The speaker and Nazi banners hung thru the hall were spattered by odoriferous eggs, and over-ripe tomatoes, Several riot calls had been put in and police cars and patrol wagons were rushed from every part of the city, These police about whom Mayor Hoan at the recent Socialist Party Convention boasted that they are never used against workers in Milwaukee, showed the truth of these statements, by sailing into the workers’ clubs drawn, but the work- ers sailed right back, putting up a stubborn fight and forcing the po- lice to accede to the demands to close the meeting. The workers refused to leave the | hall until every Nazi had been marched out in single file between a protective gauntlet of police amidst the hearty boos and cat calls of the thousands of workers. During the fighting the police tried to arrest many workers, but the enraged workers pulled most of these out of the hands of the po- lice. It was only with the greatest difficulty that the police were able to arrest three workers and send them to the police station in the =patrol wagon. Storm Police Station The captain of this police station | is an old time Socialist Party mem- ber, and the fight took place in his precinet with the police under his ‘supervision. Not a single Nazi was arrested by the police. Scab Herding of A.F.L.| Officials Is Denounced By United Shoe Union NEW YORK.—The United Shoe and Leather Workers Union is- sued a statement yesterday de- nouncing officials of the Boot and “Shoe Union for sending scabs to work in the struck Garside shop in Long Island City and urged all Boot and Shoe members to in- ténsify the struggle against the strikebreaking action of their leaders. A general membership meeting of the United Shoe and Leather ‘Workers Union (Shoe, Slipper and Stitchdown Departments) will be held tomorrow, 5:30 p. m., at Irv- ing Plaza Hall where a report on negotiations for a new agreement with the manufacturers will be discussed. The union is demand- ing wage increases and the estab- lighment of $1 an hour for all skilled workers. Young Hoodlums Invade Sec. 15 Headquarters BRONX, N.

Rank and File Opens | Fight on Corruption in Neckwear Union NEW YORK.—To open a fight against the corrupt policies of the leaders of the A. F, of L. Neck- wear Workers Union to establish a militant fighting policy in the union, the United Front Rank and | File Committee of the union has} issued a call to all neckwear work- | ers to attend a united front mass meeting tonight at Irving Plaza Hall where a plan of action will be discussed. | “The purpose of the united front is to fight against the present administration which has introduced the kick-back policy, which has threatened the workers, forcing them to pay to the boss his “pound of flesh,” said a state- ment issued by the Rank and File Committee yesterday. The statement accused the un- ion officials of emptying the union treasury to fill the pockets of the bosses, of introducing the speed- up system and decreasing the wages through secret agreements.

PURO | IS drought is one of the worst, in the history of the country and affects seriously something like thirty states. The worst effect of the drought centers around the Da- kotas and Minnesota and eastern Montana. This area constitutes the so-called Grain Belt. When one enters western Minne- sota and South Dakota, which is/| one of the richest grain lands of the | country, it. appears like a burned desert. The livestock is starving. | From many farmers I gathered that | not only are cattle dying, but also} large numbers of children because | of the effect of the dust storms. | Many families had left everything | and moved away to save their chil- | dren. | The rain that came the first week | of June provided pastures and for- age to livestock, but it came too late to save wheat and small grain crops. It is estimated that wheat crop will be from 125,000,000 to 150,- | 000,000 bus. under the normal do- mestic consumption. Only a carry over of 250,000,000 bus. would pr vent the famine, provided that the people are able to buy this wheat from the speculators who are asking | a dear price for it. | Roosevelt's propaganda has filled | the newspapers of the country with | demagogic propaganda about his| “relief? plans. What does he pro- | pose? Roosevelt's “relief” plan con- tains the appropriation of $525,000,- 000 by Congress. A part of this money is to be used for buying cat- tle from the farmers, but their first concern is the mortgage holders. A large portion of the farmers’ cattle is mortgaged, except in the case of a few rich farmers. The government proposes to pay from $8 to $20 for the best cattle per head, but the farmer, whose cattle is mortgaged, | receives only $6 per head over 2 years of age, $5 for those from 1 to| 2 years, and $3 per head for those under 1 year of age. The rest of the money goes to the money lenders. So once more the New Deal “relief” program aids primarily the bankers, insurance companies and the money lenders, while the rich farmers will get som? benefit. On their own initiative the farm- ers were calling meetings, express- ing themselves definitely against | the prices offered by the govern-| ment on cattle. They demand in- stead of $20, $45 on the best cattle | per head and that the money should | go to the farmers and not to the mortgage holders, A delegation of Sonal Wijiers ‘Will Anawer Treachery With United Fi ight EDITOR’S NOTE: — Due to Jack of space, the concinding Paragraphs of the article by Carl Reeve on Page 6 of the Daily Worker for Saturday, June 23, were omitted. The conclud- ing paragraphs are given below. Certainly, after the betrayal by their leaders at the A. A. conyen- | tion, the steel workers feel that they are not now in a position for a gencral strike at the moment. It is not, chiefly, the machine guns of the steel trust that has made the general strike impossible at this time; it is the treachery of the A.A. cfficials, particularly the Committee of Ten led by Forbeck, Under cover of radical talk about striking on June 16, which they maintained to the very last minute of the betrayal, the Committee of Ten was hatching the betrayal all the time. The chief strategy of the Com- mittee of Ten now, in the A. A. lodges, is to talk government “élec- tions” instead of talking about the economic demands and how they can be won. They are entering the A. A. lodges with paeans of praise for the N. R. A., for the New Deal, for Roosevelt and for the Green proposals, They are lay- | ing the basis for the completion of the sell-out—for elections under the new Roosevelt Anti-strike bill, which will more firmly establish the com- pany unions. The terror here de- scribed will be thrown back of the company unions in these elections. This putrid treachery must and will be answered by the steel work- ers. The grievances of the steel workers have not been settled. Elec- tions will bring forward the com- pany union. But they will not remedy the trrific speedup, ihey will not increase wages. Only the united fight of the steel workers will do this. The steel workers, disgusted withh the actions of the A.A. officials, are already turning toward the fighting Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union. In fact many militants are withdrawing from the A. A. when they should stay there and fight for unity and a fighting policy. The S. M. W. I. U. is now intensi- fying its campaign for unity of all the steel workers, regardless of union affiliation or whether unor- ganized, on the basis of preparing struggle for the athonomic demands of the workers. In this campaign there is every opportunity for the development of the S. M. W. I. U.

Leaders | Delay Action | MILWAUKEE. —The Milwaukee District of the Communist Party has issued a statement calling on the workers to organize a sympa- thetic general strike to support the struggle of the employes of the Mil- waukee Electric Company who have voted to strike this morning. The statement follows, in part: } The Milwaukee Electrie Com- | pany employes have issued a call | for a strike to begin on Tuesday, June 26. They are going on strike | for better conditions, higher wages, against the company union, and for the right to organize into a union of their own choice. While the company has _ been piling up all sorts of profits, by robbing those who use electric | lights, power and the street cars through high rates, they have been paying miserably low wages to their employes. The profits of | the Electric Co. for 1934 have al- ready risen by over 33 per cent in comparison with 1933, These profits, wrung out of the people of Milwaukee, go to enlarge the money coffers of J.

L, G. W. U. officials. The Lovestonites came to the convention with a delegation of 35. An opposition delegation of 35 could be a tremendous factor at a con- vention. This we have seen on a number of other occasions. At the last convention the left wing had a delegation of 7, who were the cen- ter of the convention, bringing for- ward the class struggle program. At the last A. F. of L. convention the one lone left wing delegate, Suny, forced the machine to discuss some of the most basic problems of the American working class. At this convention Schweitzer, a lone del- egate of the left wing, though not an outstanding speaker, forced many issués of the workers on the floor. Renegades Cheer Green At the opéning of the convention they marched in with song of “Soli- darity’ and even the “Interna- tional.” ‘These songs coming from the lips of the renegades to a ma- chine-packed convention was a sac- rilége and an insult to the rank A typical Southwestern farm family—the backbone of the nation with hardly a decent pair of overalls to cover the backbone. hit by the drought and the Roosevelt's crop-destruction program, mil- itant farmers are mapping plans for struggle at the United Farmers’ League Convention now going on in Minneapolis. | By a Worker Correspondent IES | Keep informed of the world-wide| AKRON, 0., June 25.—The} strike of 1,100 rubber workers in| struggles by the working class against unemployment, hunger, fas-|the General Tire and Rubber Co..

As soon as the demand | for a general strike was called to | their attention, they set out to | stop this movement instead of or- | ganizing it. Ohl, Handley, Shee- | han and Seide are doing exactly | what the American Federation of Labor leaders did in Toledo. Socialist Party Ignored Strike On June 16 and 17 the Socialist Party of Wisconsin held a con- vention. Most of the leaders of the Wisconsin Federation of Labor are members of the Socialist Party—yet this convention ad- journed without saying a word about the general strike or any- | thing about the grievance of the workers of the Electric Co. | Workers of Milwaukee, the city, | state and federal government is on the side of the employers. We must have no illusions about this. When the labor board s‘eps into the situation, it steps in only to help break the strike.

They were sung for Green, arch betrayer of the American working class who has sold out the automobile work- ers to the powerful automobile mag- nates, and has maneuvered to pre- vent the steel strike, for Hillman and Zaritsky. Not only the labor bureaucrats but even the capitalist politicians such as Alger were greet- ed with the song of “Solidarity For- ever.” The Lovestonite fake progressive delegation were a party to the pre- sentation of a special book in the name of the dressmakers dedicated to the “great leader” Dubinsky. They organized the special delega- tion of Negro workers to present flowers to Dubinsky, when he re- fused the floor to the delegation elected at the National Left Wing Conference which came to spéak in the name of téns of thousands of workers. Their declaration which included some demagogic phrastology made & prétense of opposing the N.R.A., but supported all the other reac- tionary measures of the convention and the fascization of the unions. At the time of the trial of Local 9 the pressure of the rank and file forced them to adopt a resolution against the explusion of the local. But at this convention when the question of Local 9 came up Zim- merman remained silent. Some of the other Lovestonites pleaded for merey from the almighty Dubinsky. The so-called minority report of Zimmerman which gave 100 per cent approval to the work of the general executive board but ex- pressed a slight and belated dif- ference on the estimation of the N.R.A. mentioning the fact that too much credit was given to it by Dubinsky, did not prove to be a successful maneuver. Dubinsky’s at- titude towards “Sascha” as “one of the boys” belied the pretense at opposition, This complete merging of the Lovestone group with the reaction- ary Dubinsky machine represents the policy of the Lovstonites since it was not only Zimmerman but Lovestone himself, who in former years when he was identified with the Communist movement could not get anywhere near the convention, and who now shared seats on the stage with Governor Horner, Mat- thew Woll and other enemies of the workers. In introducing Lovestone, Dubinsky gave the real reason for this honor. Anyone who fights against dual unionists, actually meaning Communists and class con- scious workérs, is welcome at this convention, said Lovestone, in a demagogic speech. He, just like his representative Zimmerman, gave 100 per cent endorsement to the corrupt self-seeking bureaucratic Dubinsky machine. At the close of the convention, Zimmerman, in the name of the progressive delegation, declared that the progressives support Dubinsky as president and will stand with the administration so long as it shows by its deeds that it stands for unity and for harmony.
