To Demand Centralized | Shipping Buro in All Ports in Gulf NEW ORLEANS, July 16. — The first Gulf District conference called by the Marine Workers Industrial Union in the Gulf will take place | Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22, at 239 Decatur Street in New Or-| leans. The preparations for that | conference which has been decided | upon at the National Convention | of the union held in Baltimore in| April, have brought before the sea- | men and longshoremen the program | of the union, through the calls | issued and other material put out | by our union in most all Gulf ports, Delegates are expected from Gal- | veston, Houston, New Orleans, Mo- | bile, Pensacola and other ports in| the Gulf. Some of the delegates | are coming from ports which have | never had a hall of the union or} even a delegate there. There will be | delegates from I.L.A. locals, in spite | of the sabotage of the officials of | the district and many corrupt local officials in New Orleans. Delegates From Ships There will be delegates directly from the ships’ crews who will be in port during the week-end that) the conference will be held. The) problem of putting up a fight for | a uniform wage scale on all ships | in line with the fighting seamen | and longshoremen. Another impor- | tant point to be discussed and acted ‘upon will be the fight for the estab- lishment of a Centralized Shipping Bureau in all ports in the Gulf and with it the struggle for a uniform relief system for seamen both to be controlled by the seamen themselves. New Ports Represented An important feature in the con- ference preparations was that ports where the union had never before had any contacts will have delegates at the conference. This shows that the program of our union is find- ing an echo even among the work- ers who have never been in contact with us before. All the work done by that con- ference will be preparatory to the mobilization of the workers in the industry for the National Unity Conference to be held in Baltimore, September 1-2. Roy B. Hudson, Na- tional Secretary of the Marine Workers Industrial Union who is touring the country, and who is on the West Coast is expected to ~be | here for the conference. | j Mob Being Formed: ‘Los Angeles Seamen Hail M.W.LU. Head) General Strike Will Force Concessions, Hudson Points Out SAN PEDRO, July 16—Cheering | and shouting which mounted as loud as the boos that greeted Andy Furuseth a week before, 1,000 strik- ing seamen and longshoremen of San Pedro greeted Roy Hudson, na- tional secretary of the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union, when he spoke here at the Boxing Arena last week. Naylor, local secretary |of the M.W.I.U., was chairman of the evening. Hudson was preceded by Rolfe, | Australian seamen, who brought out | the need of a general strike to sup- port the maritime strike. While Rolfe was speaking the red squad slunk in, to be greeted by a terrific | chorus of boos, Hudson received close attention for more than an hour. He de- | clared that the importance of the strike lies not only in the fact that seamen and longshoremen stand shoulder to shoulder for the first time, but also because it expressed a@ growing resistance of the work- ers to attempts of the bosses to | drive living conditions still lower. Even after “Sellout Andy's” fake proposal had been voted down overwhelmingly by the rank and file of the I. 8. U., Hudson pointed out, Scharrenburg had the nerve to put this same proposal forward at the meeting with the shipowners in Frisco. Hits Class Collaboration In pointing out this and other evidence of collaboration between labor fakers and the shipowners, Hudson said, “These fakers in the top leadership of the I18.U. and ILA. are exposing themselves every day as tools of the shipown- TS, “Only the fact that the rank and file of these organizations have prevented all sellout efforts and fought together with the militant members of the Marine Workers Industrial Union has kept the strike as solid as ever after 61 days of struggle.” Hudson exposed the “red scare” thrown particularly at the Marine | ‘Daily’ here far above the original | quota,” writes Comrade A.

The San Francisco general strike deserves and must receive the sup- port of every worker in the United States. The T..U.U.L. unions must take the lead in developing the strike of the longshoremen and seamen into a national strike. In all At- lantic and Gulf ports, on the lakes the marine workers must be roused into strike in solidarity with the strikers and for their own demands, Win the Railroad Men Every effort must be made to win the railroad workers going to and from the Pacific coast to join in the strike. In all cities and in all industrial towns the San Francisee general strike must be brought before the workers into every union local, into every workers’ gathering. Pass reso- lutions of sympathy.

Is Warn Army Reserve Officer} Heads Attempt on Life of Acquitted Negro DETROIT, July 15.—Information that a mob is being organized to lynch James Victory, Negro worker and World War veteran, has been received by Maurice Sugar, attorney for the International Labor Defense, who defended Victory in the recent trial in which he was acquitted after being framed up on a charge of having attacked and robbed a southern-born white woman, Mrs. Carl Kaye. The information was contained in a letter to Sugar from a reliable person who has been in contact with Mrs, Kaye and her husband, @ reserve officer in the army avia- tion corps. “He’s (Carl Kaye) been talking,” the informant writes, “and I un- derstand a mob is being organ- ined to take care of your Negro client. In order to clear himself of participation young Kaye will stay away until the killing is over and he says it will be only a few, days.” . The International Labor Defense, which organized the mass protest movement that freed Victory, has taken steps to protect Victory against the lynchers. In addition to its own measures, the LL.D. has demanded that Victory be given a permit to carry a gun for purposes of self-defense. The I.L.D, warns the lynchers that the working masses of Detroit, both Negro and white, are ready to beat off any attack on this innocent Negro worker and will deal with the would-be lynchers as they deserve, DR.

It was the first to call out the seamen in support of the longshoremen in the West Coast strike. On the other hand,” Hudson continued, “the 1.S.U. officials called out their mem- bership only after being forced by the rank and file to do so. Calls for Strong Unity “On the basis of its record,” said Hudson, “we ask you to join the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union, the only democratic rank and file union in the marine industry. But regardless, whether you Are an 1S.U. man or an I.L.A. man, we will support you in a common united front of struggle to defeat the bosses and win better conditions for ourselves and our families both now and in the future.” Hudson pointed out that the call for a general strike must go out to the rank and file of all unions in Los Angeles and vicinity, as is being done in the North. “The general strike, forced over the heads of the fakers in the A. F. of L. unions, will force the bosses to give us concessions in this strike.” A storm of applause followed the speech.

The bodies of the | murdered workers are now lying in state at the Unemployed Coun- cil Center, 3631 Central Ave., from | where the funeral will start. Hun- dreds of protest telegrams, tele- phone calls and resolutions kept pouring in on Acting Mayor Sha- piro from indignant workers in every part of the city. A group of social workers at the Central Bu- reau branded the stationing of police there as a direct provocation of the unemployed. Faced with a wave of indignation at the massacre on Bloody Friday, the city administration, supported by local newspapers, sought to whitewash the police, charging that Sam Arsentini, murdered un- employed worker, had killed Vinnie Williams, Negro widow who is sur- vived by four young children. County Prosecutor Frank T. Cul- litan officially absolved police of all blame, while local papers fol- lowed the lead of Acting Mayor Ezra Shapiro, expressing satisfac- tion with thé conduct of the police. In & public statement Shapiro said: “From reports made to the chief, I am thoroughly convinced that the police acted in a very careful, cautious and prudent manner. In my opinion the whole matter was instigated by those who suffered lin the fray.” Feeling the feeble- ness of this effort to shift re- sponsibility for the massacre from themselves, the city administration resorted to the gesture of calling for a Grand Jury investigation in disorders.” The action at Prospect Relief Station, where the shooting oc- curred Friday, was part of a series of simultaneous demonstrations by the unemployed at different relief stations the same day. Nineteen. workrs were arrested in the course of these demonstrations an,d, con- trary to usual procedure, exhorbi- tant property bond was demanded of them.

In spite of efforts of the city ad- ministration and the press to blame) the Unemployment Councils for the shooting, the capitalist papers have been unabl to hide the repeated re- lef cuts which called forth the mili- tant action of the unemployed. Writing in the Cleveland Press of July 14th Robert Bordner, staff writer, conceded that “the major sore spots are: cuts in the amount of relief since February; failure to pay rents, ending of Civil Works Administration jobs April 1st. Since February Washington has been curbing the amount of relief mom to all states despite the fact that! relief needs hav been growing | steadily.

The statement of the Com- munist Party ‘reveals the connection of these events. “On June 24th,” the statement declares, “the militant action of the unemployed upset the complacent routine of the City Council and forced the Council to go on record for cash payment of rent to small home owners against evictions and relief cuts—without, of course, appropriating a singie ried out in line with a decision open up a reign of terro> against the Unemployment Councils.
