AFL Shows) |Misery But Gives No Aid| egroes Made To Work Under Threat of | Guns and Dogs i By HOWARD BOLDT | “SAJEGRO workers are being, forced to go to planta- tions or be cut off from re- lief work. I am informed that in some cases they work under guns and are kept on the places wit dogs. The ph E. R. A. in Texas is shut down, nd this forces the workers into the oottodl fields and farms for 50 and f 75 cents a day,” Charles J. Maun- sell, A. F. of L. organizer in Tex- |larkana writes in his monthly report “published in the July issue of the American Federationist, official or- | gan of the American Federation of | Labor. Recognizing the mass hunger and misery, the A. F. of L. leadership | not only does nothing to improve the conditions among the unem- ployed and the relief workers, but actually does everything in its power to behead every movement and struggle of these workers to better their conditions. Gus Miles, A. F. of L. organizer in Middle- town, Ohio, writes in his report: The majority of the C. W. A. workers are still unemployed and those who were to have gone to work for the F. E. R. A. have gone on strike due to communist in- fluence and control. We are trying | to break it up—42 men were jailed | last week. All industries have! shortened hours . . . all industries are intimidating employees.” From the Atlantic to the Pacific | From every state comes the same | Picture of mass misery—from the opening lines of the report from Anniston, Alabama SC. WA. workers are being fed by the F. E. R. A. on allowances of $3 and $4| a week. Landlords are threatening to throw these people out of their houses because they can’t exis! and} pay them rent. Water is being cut off from houses that have water toilets. The Utica Knitting Mills are laying off hands. The Profile Cotton Mills at Jacksonville have closed down, throwing 1,000 men, women and children on the mercies | of the world. People are in a! pitiful condition."—To the closing lines of the last report, from She- boygan, Wisconsin “The C. W. A. workers are all laid off ... there is unrest and lots of people are) on relief.” Picking at random from the sum- maries of the 127 reports included | in the July issue of the Federation- | ist the same details of mass hunger | ar given. | VENTURA, Cal.—‘Ninety-five per | cent of the workers formerly em- iploved on C, W. A. are now idle. With nearly 4,000 unemployed this | county has been allotted the sum’ of $18,508 per month.” BELLEVILLE, Ill—‘“Former C.) W. A. workers, some 2,000 of them, new set up under the Relief De- pariment is not in any way help- have been in pretty bad shape. The | ful to business or to the workers here. These, workers are getting from $5.40 to $24 per month and working it out.” EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. — “Many of the former employes of the C. W. A. were forced on relief — imme- diately many of the families were without food and clothing.” DES MOINES, Iowa.—‘Many of the workers formerly on C. W. A. are living at the local transient center. Some C. W. A. workers are on relief—a regulation in order to secure relief is that there must be at least five in the family.” BATH, S. C—“The C. W. A. work- ers have been laid off in this sec- tion and there seems to be no prospect for them to be re-employed. ‘They are receiving a small relief— a family of five gets about $2 a week.” SIOUX FALLS, S. D.—“Some C. . A. workers are on direct relief and the undertaker will be watch- ing for the majority of the work- ers if something don’t happen soon.” The same tone fills the hundred odd other reports. 'HESE are only scattered few ex- amples of the continued drive on the living standards of the un- employed. Yet despite militant marches and demonstrations, strikes on the relief jobs against starvation wages, and picketing of relief stations, the tremendous resources and numbers of the A. F. of L. unions have not been involved in this fight because; of the treachcrous policy of the top Jeadership. In the instances where the rank and file of the A. F. of L, ye been approached for partici- nm in the relief strike struggles have shown a readiness to In_ Middletown, Ohio, is of A. F. of L. workers jot ined in the relief strike last April. At Ann Arbor, Mich. in Detroit, .T. of L. wouksrs have been mo- 224 for strike struggle on the re- Het jobs. ‘On the other hand, in every strike ‘astaie under the leadership of the Unemployment Councils, unern- ployed workers have been mobilized for support of every sirike on the picket lines to resist the attacks of the police, scabs, thugs, deputies and militia, and in the neighborhcods and at the relief stations in the ee for relief to s‘riking workers. ) "he struggle for relief and the Aeowing mass demand for the Workers Unemployment Insurance| Bill Must be made part of the work of the oppésition groups within the A.

MARINES PREPARE FOR NEXT SLAUGHTER It looks like “somewhere in Flanders,” but it is just a company of Marines on Long Island, N. Y., staging a sham battie to get ready for the real thing. It is by the world imperialists for the next war, a part of the drive being made ‘Southern Slave Market Economy Dealt Heavy Blow by Growing Strike Wave in Alabama Towns oe Fight Against Main Task of Workers | In Building Party By NAT ROSS On May 8, Chief of Police Hol lums of Birmingham declared, “I have ordered that Communism be | wiped out before it gets a better foot hold here.” On the same day the press stated that “A three-way offensive (ie., police, sheriffs, office, grand jury) against Communism” was under way. This was the signal for a wild campaign of terror. Strikers were murdered on the picket lines Dozens of strikers were arrested. Communist leaders were rounded up. Homes of Communists were raided and a large number arrested. A printer was sentenced to six months and given a $100 fine for printing a Communist leaflet. A warrant was issued for Alexander Racolin, I. L. D. attorney, who had already been arrested and finger printed on two previous occasions. The police arrested and finger | printed the noted playwright, John | | Howard Lawson, merely for walk- ing down the street with the I L. D. attorney. On July 20, ten weeks later, Chief Hollums issued another statement to the press, saying, “Seventy-five per cent of the labor violence has | been fomented by Communist agit- tors ... Although we have con- ducted a vigorous drive the last few months against the Communist element we have been hampered by | lack of authority. BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THE TROUBLE HAS JUST STARTED (my emphasis — N. R.) we will seek legislation at the 1935 sesion of the state Jegis- lature to combat future agitation. We need laws to prohibit agitation of strike violence; to prohibit meet- ings which would end in riots; to prohibit spread of propaganda ad- vocating intermarriage and inciting race hatred.” One thing is obvious from this statement. The Police Chief had not succeeded in his threat of May 8th. The important question is—what’s behind these fascist plans? To an- swer this we must for a moment examine the foundation of South- ern society and the present situa- tion in Birmingham in particular. The basis of southern economy is the backward, semi-slave share- cropping system of agriculture found in the Black Belt. It is here that the stink of the old slave market is still loud. But this stink is carried from the Black Belt agrarian sections into the Southern industrial cities in the form of Jim- Crowism, lynching, convict labor, Starvation wages, etc. In other words, Southern industry was built up and profits made on the basis of the most unheard of exploitaiton of the Negroes and also to a large extent of the main mass of white workers. The recent years of crisis and the struggles of the workers especially those in which the Communist Party played a significant role, have exposed the whole rottenness of Southern capitalism and the crumb- ling foundation on which it was built. In order to maintain its rule, the Southern capitalist class must intensify its fascist terror and lynching as part of the process of further starving the workers. The Wave of Strikes If we look further we see the fol- lowing: The N. R. A. codes legalized the priniciple of lower wages for Southern workers through the wage differential. This is what Wall Street and the Southern capitalists wanted, In the meantime the Bir- mingham workers had organized by the tens of thousands into the A. F. of L. unions. Under the guidance of the Communist Party the workers raised high the slogan for union recognition and against the wage differential. of a whole serics of strikes in the Birmingham area involving in the past six months, close to 15,000 workers. Not only that, but the workers in| each industry were sticking to- gether. In February, 2,000 laundry workers closed every plant in the Birmingham area. In March, all , the commercial mines in Alabama were on strike, involving 13,000 workers. In April, thse 13,000 struck again and now they were | con: joined by 8,000 captive coal miners. This was the essence, | shut tight. In May, 8,000 ore min- | ers went out on a general strike. | And now a large majority of the on strike, and as this is being writ- | ten the rank and file strikers are | working to tie up every single tex- | tile mill in Alabama. In these strikes (except textile where most of the strikers are | white), the outstanding note of | progress was the rapid development of solidarity besween the white and strikers and the grcwing of the. ©. This race and as a result of the militancy of the | of the struggle. The Textile Strike A word on the present strike. The rank and file have come out on strike after formui: number cf excellent dema. as a 30 and not a 40-hour week at $12 minimum inctead of $9; aboli- tion of the strotch-out; re-cmploy ment of all workers who lost their jobs because of the streich-out or ei union activities; and finally, re- cognition of the U. T. W. The Communist Party must exert energy to spread the strike demands.

Hearst press and Hearst himself froth at the mouth over the “‘be- trayal” of the open shop drive. time unions demanded the follow- ing guarantees from the Presiden*’s board: Removal of all strikebreak- ers and armed guards from the waterfront; no discrimination against any workers for union acti- vities; all “sidewalk” hiring to be discon‘inued; hiring to be done through the union halis. Ralph Mallen, heed of the pub- licity committee of the Interna- tional Longshoremen’s Association, stated, evidently speaking for the strike committee, thas he was cer- tain the I. L, A. members would not return to work until the sea- men did. Not Defeated Such conclusive evidence of the | fact that the mariime workers have not been defeated is the main reason for the sharp turn the con- flict betwern the various capitalist groups has taken in the last few) days. Addi ional evidsnce is con- tained in the statements of one of the local judges, who already has turned loose something liks one hundred arrested workers gitsr e-| nouncing the raids and the fascist methods used as the actions of “mad wolves.” The steadfast s'and of the mari- time trades headed by their joint} committee with its militant core of longshoremen lead: and the pres- sure of the general strike, in cpite of the betrayal from wihin, have forced the waterfront employers and the ship owners to th2 point of recognition of and dealing with tne unions.

Having in this way tion—and the state of California as well’ — these ambitious capitalists were prepared to step out and save | the nation. | The weak point in the scheme was ithat the splendid solidarity and militancy of the working class pre- vented them frorn smashing up the unicns, There are even many strange but heartening tales told of the senti- ment among the national guards- men occupying the waterfront. People who should know say that a big majority of the guardsmen were against strikebreaking and that the officers, for the most part heads or high-seleried executives of big corporations, at no time felt ‘that they could depend upon the majority of their forces in decisive action, In any event the officers | moved staff headquarters onto a ship out in the bay aiter passing come rather anxious nights on the waterirent.

According to the Hearst press, the ief cause is that: | “As a matter of frank fact, much of the administration is more Com- |munistic than the Communism; themselves. | “And it is the firm opinion of revolution in California against stable government and established ;order would never have occurred except for the sympathy and en- couragcment which the fomenters of the revolution were receiving or believed they were receiving from those high in the counsel of the administration.” Thieves Fall Out There you have it! The thieves have fallen out over the question of tactics, over the question of how best to preserve what remains of once flourishing American capital- ism, over the question as to how best to combat the growing con- sciousness and rising militancy of the American labor movement. The San Francisco News (Scrinps- Howard) is also right up in the fore- front of the forces for saving the republic from Communism. It at- tacks N.R.A. from another angle. combining the question of federal |relief for striking workers with the issue of Communist tactics.
