Seamen Mass At Scab Ship Today (Continued from Page 1) Charles Fizer, leaders of the ship| committee of the Dollar Liner, President Adams, who were arrest- ed in Jersey City by ship officers when they presented demands of the crew to the captain, were taken to the Hudson County Jail charged | ‘with assault on the high seas. Seamen on the ship say that the two leaders of the ship committee attacked nobody. All they did was to present demands of the crew. They are being held because they are members of the Marine Work- ers Industrial Union and were fightting for its militant program. Both men are heid for 500 bail. | The Marine Workers Industrial Union has launched a campaign to) raise bail for the two leaders. Following the arrest of Parett and Fizer the ship has become a hell house, seamen say. The mate has armed both the boatswain’s| mate and the boatswain with pis- tels.

S. Robert Luckenbach and the S. S.| Yorkmar, brought from the West Coast by a scab crew and unload- ing scab cargo here. Twelve marine workers picketing the Yorkmar at Municipal Pier, No. 98, were arrested after a gang of Polly Baker's henchmen from the ILL.A. succeeded in provoking an argument and giving the waiting police an excuse to swoop down and break up the picket line. “While this was going on, all but one of the stevedoré gangs brought on board the Luckenbach refused to unload scab cargo and walked off. The ship immediately moved up to Port Richmond to avoid the pickets. The arrest of the 12 men aroused tremendous discussion among work- érs on the waterfront, and consid- erable resentment against Baker'’s|f the United Textile Workers’ | actions and policies were expressed. | Rank and file members of the I.L.A.| Invited several members of the Ma- rine Workers Industrial Union to appear at their méeting Thursday night and discuss strike action. A telegram ftom John Rogers of the Strike Committee on the West Coast to Polly Baker, calling upon “all seamen and longshoremen to support West Coast strike,” has gone unanswered by Baker. A dele- gation elected by a United Front conference last Monday, has several times failed to find Baker when they called to demand that he state his stand on this call. * * a Vets Support Dock Strike SAN FRANCISCO, July 12—Post 34 of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League has issued an appeal to all veterans to support the maritime strike and work to spread the strike to a genéral walkout in all indus- a . . .

Added activity in the canning industry, which at the end of the summer months will collapse, likewise could not offset the catas- trophic drops in the important manufacturing industries. Textile: knit goods, women’s and men’s furnishings industries, which, at this period of the year, ordinarily show seasonal rises in anticipation of Fall buying, reached low levels, textile mills alone Grop- | ping 2.9 per cent of the workers. Show Trends Thought Land The drastic production curtail- ment in New York State during this one-month period, and the wholesale wage slashes, are fairly indicative of the national industrial ttends. Speaking before the Insti- tute of Public Affairs at the Uni- versity of Virginia yesterday, Dr. Carmen Haider of New York said: “In February, factory production was the same as the 1931 average Cone of the low points of the crisis —Ed.] although factory earnings were 19.7 below 1931 earnings. Let us be fully aware of what this sig- nifies,” she added, “Deficits changed to profits.” “In terms of actual nourish- ment,” Dr. Haider continued, “the workers are worse off today they were a year ago.” “In fact,” she added, “according | to a survey of grocery store expen- ditures, the total amount of food- stuffs consumed for the month of April, 1934, was actually less than that bought in April of last year, the bottom of the depression. More Money—Less Goods “The actual amount of money spent at grocery stores was higher this April than last. For this money, however, less goods in terms of tonnage were obtained, for prices had gone up.” While prices of foodstuffs con- tinue to soar, new wage cuts are handed out in the form of re- duced working hours and stagger systems, and new mass unemploy- ment looms, the working popula- tion is forced to dispense with more and more of the necessities of life, and in the struggle to live, greater proportions of de- creased earnings must be spent for food alone. rorize the workers and keep out the strike lenders. But the-strikers formed their march at the factory, a inile away and forced their way into the hall. The company had called the meeting to take a “secret vote” on calling off the strike.

S—He Got the Job Reporters Hold Picket Line Solid at Long Island Press By EDWIN ROLFE JAMAICA, L. I—Members of the Newspaper Guild of New York con- tinued to fight in defense of their} organization yesterday by picketing | all day before the plant of the Long | Island Daily Press. They carried! placard-slogans mounted on wooden | sticks, announcing that “Newspaper Workers Will Organize!” and expos- | ing the open-shop actions of the Daily Press. With editorial workers of the} metropolitan and Long Island papers marching in alternate shifts, the small but solid picket line was | not broken once during the day. At different times the picket line divided into two sections, one re- maining on the block on which the Daily Press is situated, marching from the paper’s offices on 168th St. to the corner of Jamaica Ave., while the other section filed down| Jamaica Ave. the section’s main and busiest thoroughfare, past | movie houses and five-dime-and-up | stores, to the Magistrates Court, | better known here as the Old Town Hall, on Parsons Blvd. While picketing went on without interference, a .committee of the employees was invited to meet with the publishers. Before going to this meeting, they agreed to stand solidly behind three points: 1, Recognition of the News- paper Guild chapter. 2. The establishment of a grievance committee. 3. The right to negotiate for a complete agreement with the Executive Committee of the Guild. At the meeting S. I. Newhouse, acting publisher of the Long Island Daily Press, was evasive about these three points, stating that he pre- ferred negotiations with a small in- Side group rather than with a city- wide organization such as the Guild. Final results of this con- ference Were not available as the Daily Worker went to press last night. The Guild picketers received re- peated expressions of sympathy from bystanders yesterday. Collec- tions at various chapters have en- abled the Guild to establish a local headquarters at 168th St. and Ja- maica headquarters. The Guild members planned to stage an automobile parade through the heart of Jamaica, beginning at six o'clock last night. A similar parade was held Wednesday night with eight cars, carrying members and sympathizers of the Guild, touring the streets of Jamaica, Pioketing will be resumed this morning in front of the Press offices. Browder Scores Red-Baiting Quiz (Continued from Page 1) Stevenson told the Daily Worker reporter that he officially rep- resented the National Civic Fed- eration at the hearings. Reads from “Communist” Tall, dark, with waxed mus- tache and a white silk handker- chief peeping neatly from the pocket of his dark blue suit, Stevenson presented his ‘‘evi- dence” against the Communist} International by reading “start-| ling” revelations from the “Com- munist,” theoretical organ of the C.P.U.S.A., from the “Commu- nist International,” official or- gan of the International, and from various pamphlets issued in thousands of copies by the Party and on sale in the Workers Book- shop and throughout the country. It was the same old hash. Moscow “is directing the policies of the Communist Party in this country.” The Soviets have ‘“‘vio- lated their pledge signed by Lit- vinoff promising not to aid any group intending to bring about by force a change in the social order of the United States.” Moscow is “planning to over- throw the capitalist system and establish Soviet regimes in this country,” ete. Stevenson’s reading from the Communist pamphlets visibly stirred the counsel for the committee, for- mer Senator Hardwick, who gets $250 a week for dozing while wit- nesses are testifying and wakes up every hour or so to ask a question between his naps. Hardwick didn’t sleep yesterday. Oh no, this wasn’t Nazi propaganda, this was Communist! When Stevenson had finished reading exerpts from the révolu- tionary literature, Hardwick leaned his fat face over the table, glared ferociously over the top of his horn- rimmed glasses and in his croak- ing voice asked: “They did not change their atti- tude at all after the agreement by Litvinoff, did they?” “No,” replied Stevenson, “not in the least.” “In other words, ever since Lit- vinoff made that pledge for nis government they haven’t made any effort to live up to it.” The Committee will adjourn for several weeks, after which they will hold secret sessions in New York and public hearing throughout the country to the Pacific Coast.

J., from “blackjacking its employes into a company union.” Employes of the Crucible plant voted 750 to 335 against the com- pany union, and the company now seeks to conduct a second election, this time with the workers’ check numbers on the ballot, so that offi- cials can be sure which way an em- ploye votes.

Miss Ethel Barrymore, once tossed off a | critique by Heywood Broun on her dramatic ability with the remark that Mr. Broun was only a former sports writer. Miss Barrymore deals sits on Olympus. Only the revolutionary press has pointed out the class significance of sports. On one side or the other, they are a means of sup- port—either for carrying on the fight of the workers against their eppressors (in the capitalist countrics) or building a healthy Socialist citizenry (in the Soviet Union) or in militarizing the masses (as is happening in every capitalist country). ete aes | ‘OW much the fascists fear sports in the hands of the workers is evidenced among the first acts of the murderers when they get into power, They immediately dissolve all workers sports clubs and try to get the membership into organiza- tions of their own. We have recent examples of this in Germany, Aus- tria and Latvia. bite ea IN THE United States, still a bourgeois - democratic country, the capitalist uses of sports are camouflaged by the innocence and triviality which is pretended for them in the sports sections. Thus, as far as the concerns of the mastets go, are the masses be- mused, In the United States, however, their whole triviality and innocénce explodes when we consider that no sports writer has yet mentioned the International Sports Rally Against Wat and Fascism, which is sched- uled for Paris, Aug. 11-15. But we have had columns oh columns of publicity for the Olympics, which are schéduled to be held in Nazi Germany. Nobody but a fool would magine that any Jew has a chance to get on the German Olympic team, but in the United States we have had columns on columns de- voted to the declarations of people verifying the pretense of the Hitler- ites that Jews are being searched for to enter the competitions. Is it not strange too that no denuncia- tion of the fascists is made by our sports writers for outlawing work- ers’ sports clubs, although they be- come very wroth when the boxing commission prohibits smoking in Madison Square Garden? We did get one statement on the German situation, When the American Olympic delegation put up the bluff of withdrawing from the Olympic Games if they were held in Berlin and Jews were not permitted on the team, Mr. Paul Gallico, the defender of the peo- ple, announced that what was happening in Germany was none of America’s business, v Cit: vane d bie A.

But in what capitalist newspaper did you read anything about the Tom Mooney Soccer Cup Trophy compe- tions, in which teams from various cities participated? But Tom Mooney is not a poor baseball player needing only charity. He is a sym- bol, a symbol of ruling class terror against workers, and the compeéti- tions were staged as demonstrations for his release and in order to raise money for his defense. soe 5 i ND how many sports writers haye mentioned the baseball games, soccer games, track and field meets and other sports af- fairs held under the slogan of “Free Thaelmann!”?
