Pennsylvania Jobless Plan H MINE LOCALS JOIN Llinois Jobles WITH JOBLESS FOR 5 DEMANDS 3,000 Prepare To Take Part in Action Early in October PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 3.—Un- ployed workers in Pennsylvania stage a mass hunger march on Harrisburg, the State capital, dur- ing the first week of October, to force the enactment of their relief demands by the State Legislature. Present plans show that at least 1500 workers from Western Penn- sylvania will participate, plus at least an equal number from other |Parts of the State. A wide number of workers’ or- /ganizations have already pledged their support, including locals of the United Mine Workers of America in Allegheny Valley, Westmoreland and the Fayette coal fields. In ad- dition to the Unemployment Coun- cils, the Independent Unemployed Citizens League and the Citizens Protective League in Pittsburgh will join the march, Jobless workers have put forward the following program of immediate needs for enactment by the State Legislature: 1) Financing of a relief program for the period up to Jan. 1, 1935 | in the amount of $75,000,000 dol- | lars by means of taxes on high | | | } incomes and profits, on public utilities properties, and on Jux- uries for upper-class consumption. 2) A higher standard of relief providing a minimum of $2 per person per week for each member of a family, and not less than $2.50 for single persons. 3) All relief in cash, including rent, clothes, fuel, light and gas. 4) End of all evictions, fore- closuss and sheriff sales by state law. 5) Adequate old age pensions | and unemployment insurance as embodied in the Workers Unem- ployment Insurance Bill. Prior to the march, all city and borough councils will be visited by mass delegations demanding en- dorsement of the five-point program. Phil Frankfeld, Unemployment Council organizer for Western Penn- sylvania, has issued a call to all | working class organizations, re- | questing that they support the | march and send letters to Governor } Pinchot demanding that he make | adequate provisions for the march- | ers in Harrisburg, and to bring every possible force to bear to secure enactment of the five-point pro- | gram. All organizations are asked to mobilize their membership for the march, sending communications and donations to the Unemployment Councils, 1524 Fifth Avenue, Pitts- burgh. The 1,725,000 unemployed workers in Pennsylvania have forced Gover- nor Pinchot to call a special session of the State Legislature for the pur- pose of voting on relief appropria- tions. The session will convene on August 13 or August 20. At the time that the legislature convenes, the Unemployment Councils will bring forward the five-point program for enactment. Keep this date open!

He had gone there from London where undoubtedly the police had sent ahead information as to his poli- tical stand. His presence in Lon- don had been occasioned by his expulsion from France for attempt- ing to organize the colonial dock workers in Marseilles. Trinidad is his home country. Money is urgently needed for the conduct of the trial because the revolutionary movement is very small in Trinidad and because he will undoubtedly be convicted un- less a great protest is aroused. The government has lately started a campaign of terror against all forms of proletarian and peasant organizations. Trinidad is an English colony off the coast of South America. The overwhelming majority of the in- habitants are Negroes who live under miserable circumstances akin to slavery. All funds should be sent to the National Office of the Young Com- munist League, 35 East 12th Street. Gil Green Will Report On YCL Convention At Philadelphia Meeting PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Aug. 3.— Gil Green, National Secretary of the Young Communist League, will report on the Seventh National Con- vention of the Y.C.L. at an open membership meeting of the Y.C.L. to be held in the auditorium of the Music Settlement House, 416 Queen St., Tuesday, August 7, 8 p.m. sharp. Young and adult workers are in- vited to attend this important meet- ing. The report of Comrade Green wlil be followed by a question period. An open invitation is being extended by the Y.C.L. District Committee to all members of the Young People’s Socialist League to attend the meeting. Irving Keith, District Organizer of the Y.C.L., will preside. Canning Plant Bosses Muster Fascist Forces Against Strike Threat TRENTON, Aug. 3—The Ameri- can Research Bureau, recently es- tablished here with George Biehl, Hudson County newspvaperman, as director, has pledged itself to fight “Communist plans.” It has an- nounced that it would seek legisla- tion to bar from the ballot any indi- vidual or party “seeking to over- throw the government by revolution or any other manner of force or violence, This will bar all Commu- nists.” A further statement said: “At this very moment Communists are mak- ing plans to begin a general strike at all South Jersey canneries at the height of the $5,000,000 tomato crop Season next week, and will import 150 Philadelphia gangsters to create terrorism.” Thus the cannery bosses, using such fascists as Biehl to cover up the wide discontent caused by star- DETROIT, MICH.

Toledo Scapien Picket Transient Relief Office TOLEDO, O., Aug. 3—After sea- men here had sent a delegation to Columbus and won the right to re- lief, the local director of relief refused to meet the promises made by the state office. In Columbus, the delegation was told that their relief demands would be granted by July 30. The Toledo relief director showed the order for meals, hotel rooms, to- bacco, razor blades and incidentals to the seamen’s committee, but re- fused to comply. A meeting of seamen voted to picket the Toledo Transient Relief Bureau and the F. EB. R. A, offices until their demands have been won, and another delegation was sent to Columbus to demand relief.

Ist.! s Plan County Relief Actions DANVILLE, IL, Aug. 3.—Thirty- six representatives of unemployed, relief workers, and part-time indus- trial workers met here Wednesday. | and drew up a unified program and plan of action for relief demands. The following towns were Tepre- | sented: Westville, Georgetown, Dan- ville, Cotlin, Potomac, Alvin, Hem- ming, Oakwood, Hoopstown, and} Indianola. | A committee of eight was elected | to preesnt the workers’ demands as adopted by the July 21 conference in Springfield to the relief heads, and to plan actions forcing adop- tion. The demands include: a uniform budget equal at least to Cook County relief for the county; 50 cent minimum wages on work re- lief, union rates for skilled workers; no evictions; no discrimination against Negro and foreign born workers; workers’ control of relief; relief to be granted pending in- vestigation; and for unified actions in winning the demands. The delegates from Westville re- ported a strike of all work relief, and the winning of food orders for the strikers. One local of the United Mine Workers of America is joining in the action for adequate relief. Mine Leader Begins Tour Of 4 States DENVER, Colo,, Aug. 3—Charles Guynn, District Organizer of the National Miners Union, who was recently sentenced to two years’ im- prisonment on a frame-up charge | of riot for his militant leadership | of the Carbon County, Utah, coal} miners in their heroic strike of last summer, will begin on August 7th a two-months speaking tour through | the four states of Colorado, Wyom-/ ing, Utah, and New Mexico, under the auspices of the International Labor Defense. Guynn’s tour will be in behalf of his own defense and the defense | of all class war prisoners, as well | as for the purpose of building the! International Labor Defense into a powerfull mass weapon of defense. | Prominent in workers’ struggles | in many parts of the United States, | Guynn was arrested by the depu-; ties of the coal operators during | the strike of the Carbon County coal miners last summer. Tried on a frame-up charge of riot by a hand-picked jury, he was convicted and sentenced to a term of from one day to two years in the Utah State Penitentiary. His appeal for a new trial was denied by the county court, despite overwhelming | evidence of the prejudice of the jury. The International Labor De- fense will appeal the case to the Utah State Supreme Court, and is conducting a campaign of mass de- fense to force the dismissal of all charges against Guynn. Guynn has yet to stand trial on a criminal! syndicalism charge, also growing out of his arrest at the time of the Carbon County strike. The schedule of Guynn’s meet- ings follows: Salina, Utah Provo, Utah . Park City, Utah .

One hundred and ten boys and girls, men and women, are able to; make substantial saes on street corners and carrier routes in New ‘York, But with such proof of the sal- ability of the Daily Worker, why has the drive, as a whole, obtained only a 6,000 copy increase, when it should now have been reaching the full quota of 20,000? The answer is that the member- ship of the Party, the units, sec- tions, districts and fractions—have} not worked hard enough, have not taken advantage of the radicaliza- tion of the masses, to sell the Daily Worker. We need give but one il- lustration. In District 2, New York, only 300 additional copies a day are being sole by the units. As this is being written, the added circulation in New York has been almost 3,000 copies a day. This is certainly an impermissible thing. The Party membership must realize its task. The committces in the districts, sections, units and fractions must immediately proceed with emphasis. The districts which are lagging must snap into position.'

DAIL GUTTERS OF NEW YOR kK —By Del “THE Famous a LA Guaroie “Park officials announce free tennis instruction.” NEWS ITEM. 2,900 ‘Daily’ Sales Increase in N. Y.-- But Where Are Units? Twenty-nine hundred copies a day has been the increase in sales of the Daily Worker in District 2, New York, since the drive to get 20,000 new readers by September 1 started five weeks ago. In all, 6,000 new readers a day have been secured for the “Daily” throughout the country. When we examine the figures, however, we discover that the 2,900 additional sales of the “Daily” in New York are the result almost wholly of the activity of the Red Builders—and news-stand selling. The work of the sections and units has been miserable. Units Gain Only 300 The Red Builders have gained 1,800 readers a day for the ‘‘Daily.” The newsstands are selling 800 copies a day the drive started. York has been only 300. more than they did when But the gain of the units and sections in New These figures include the gains made by Section 12, which is outside New York City proper, taking in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and surrounding territory. What the table shows, therefore, is that the Party in New York has not put itself behind the drive. It seems almost ridiculous to say that with 20 sections and more than 350 units in District 2, the gains made by the Party proper is less than one paper to a unit, “Daily” Easy to Sell This is all the worse to contemplate when one realizes that the Red Builders have demonstrated how easy it is to make new readers for the “Daily.” sold newspapers before. best-seller, so to speak. The Most of these Red Builders are people who never “Dail, really has the qualities of a The sections and the units in District 2, therefore, find themselves in a sorry position. Are the Red Builders—are the owners of the news- stands—more capable in selling the “Daily Worker” than they are? It is up to our units and sections to prove themselves. If the drive should fail, it is apparent that the fault will be largely theirs. And that the drive should fail is unthinkable. Comrades, you must do your part! Get to work at once! Workers Call Strike Against Rising Bread Prices in Cleveland CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 3,— Five hundred workers packed the Pyth- jan Hall here Tuesday and unan- imously voted to strike against the cost of bread, which hes doubled in the past month, A committee of 25 was elected to conduct the strike which has been initiated by the Jewish Women's Council. Headquarters have been opened on E. 105th St. and 1063 Lakeview Road, and 14315 Kinsman Road and 13205 Kinsman Road. In the fight against the boss bakers, leaflets are being distributed in the Jewish neighborhoods, shops are being picketed, and committees are visiting groceries and bakeries. About a month ago bread jumped from five to eight cents, and last week the price was raised to eleyen cents. Pennsylvania Election Conference To Be Held At Harrisburg, Aug. 12 PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 3.—The election campaign of the Com- munist Party is in full swing in this State. Offices have been es- tablished here and in Philadeiphia, a State ticket has been selected, a ratification conference has been called at Harrisburg for August 12, and collection of nominating peti- tion signatures has been started. The Pittsburgh offices are at 2203 Center Avenue and the Phila- delphia offices are at 48 North Eighth Street.

This is the most vital cir- culation campaign the Daily Worke: has ever had—and the political zation into successful work, Bundles' task is plain to every Party member. % i Last-Minute Plans for Knitgoods Strike Are Speeded by Workers NEW YORK.—Knitgoods workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx are making last-minute preparations for a general strike for a living wage scale and a 35-hour-week to take place within the next few days and which will involve over 15,000 workers. The Knitgoods Workers Industrial Union, which has been in the field for the past four years and has made steady progress stopping wage cuts and improving conditions in the shops, has mobilized its entire membership for the strike. Mem- bers of the Knitgoods Workers In- dustrial Union are calling on the workers of the I.L.G.W.U. to unite with them and elect one joint rank and file strike committee to lead the strike for one set of demands. The New York District of the Workers International Relief. has offered its co-operation in establish- ing a relief kitchen in every section of the city and setting up an effi- cient and workable machinery for a continuous supply of relief. The cultural groups of the W.LR., like the Workers Laboratory The- atre, the Film and Photo League, the W.LR. Band and the WLR. Dance group, also pledged to partici- pate actively in helping the knit- goods workers, by performances at various affairs and in strike halls. Relief Foreman Wants Graft To Keep Jewish Workers on Bronx Job NEW YORK.—Jewish workers on the St. Mary's Park relief project in the Bronx are being fired by the foreman, Tom McGrath, unless they pay him five dollars a week to keep their jobs. Last Friday, McGrath fired four- teen Jewish workers, giving as a reason that they were “lazy bums.” Eight Jews left on the project were given “pink slips” entitling them to finish the week. McGrath tells these eight workers that he will tear up their slips if they pay him five dollars a_week. Three of the workers have re- ported this to the Relief Workers League, which is tcking on to force the removal of McGreth. A Red Builder on every busy street corner in the country means a tremendous step toward the dictatorship of the proletariat. ‘Steel Union Opens Second Convention PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 3.— The Second National Convention of the Steel and Metal Workers Union was opened by Pat Cusli, president, with a number of dele- gates absent because of arrests. Joseph Dallet, Youngstown or- ganizer of the S.M.W.V., was arrested here at an August Ist anti-war meeting. Eight delegates were arrested in Ambridge last night police raided an Interna Labor Defense meeting there. (Special to the Dally Worker) | PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 3.—| More than 200 delegates were gathering for the opening today of | the second national convention of |the Steel and Metal Workers In-| dustrial Union, From Chicago about thirty del- jegates have been elected, four of | these representing Local 23 of the | Mechanics Educational Society of} America who were elected with only | | three dissenting votes despite Mat- thew Smith's opposition. Smith at- tended the election meeting, at- |tacked the S.M.W.I.U. and the | Communist Party, and attempted to | | forestall action by raising the red | | scare. From the Ohio district comes no- | tification that twenty delegates are | | attending from Cleveland, two from | Massilon, two from Lorraine, and | two from Toledo. In addition, fif-| | teen representatives of Amalga- mated Association lodges in that district are expected to be present at the convention. ¥ Rank and file members of the other unions, including A.

To hammer out a program | whereby we can achieve this unity | is the first task of our convention.” Says | Woman Faints. From Hunger in Relief Office | | NEW YORK.—Mrs. Betty Bleier and her family got th ticket from the Home Relief Bureau at 201 Elizabeth Street yesterday, but Mrs. Bleier had to collapse from hunger to get it. The Bleier family, which lives at 29 Clinton Street, made application three months ago. They were visited six or seven times by Home Relief Bureau investigators but received no aid. The gas and light were shut off and the landlord threatened dis- possess proceedings. Still the fam- ily received no aid because the Home Relief Bureau requires proof of residence for two years prior to. the date of application. Yesterday Mrs. Bleier, accompan- ied a delegation of twenty other jobless workers to press her de- mands for help. While the delegation waited an) hour and a half, relief officials steadfastly refused to see them. After Mrs. Bleier fainted, an official summoned an ambulance doctor. The doctor declared that the woman was suffering from heart trouble seriously aggravated by hunger and offered to remove her to the hos- pital where she could be fed back to health. Mrs. Bleier refused, be- cause she feared that her husband, who is also ill, and her 15-year-old daughter, Ruth, might suffer by her absence, On hearing the doctor's diagnosis the relief officials hastily promised | a food ticket, but insisted that Mrs. Bleier, lying prostrate on a bench, | should be removed by the delegation, | on the pretext that it would take | two hours to complete the office} routine incidental to issuing the ticket. The delegation refused. The ticket was issued after a lapse of half an hour.
