Cash relief demands in- clude $7 weekly relief for each worker plus $2 for each dependent. The delegates pledged full sup- port to working class and dirt farmer candidates in the coming | elections. Resolutions were passed | demanding the immediate release of the three workers now in the Polk County jail for their participation in the relief workers’ strike here, for the release of Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro Boys, and for full support to the American League Against War and Fascism. At a mass meeting held after the conference, the work and resolu- tions of the delegates were reviewed and approved by 300 workers. The ‘Daily’ Helped Us, Say ‘Hillsboro Boys,” Urging Big Circulation NEW YORK.—In a letter to the Daily Worker, the Hillsboro prison- arrested several months ago for leading the fight for more relief for poor farmers and jobless workers, appealed for support in the circula- tion drive of the “Daily.” The letter follows: “Dear Comrades: “We, Hillsboro prisoners, wish to add our voice to the appeal for building the Daily Worker. “We are following the results of the drive with great concern. We here experienced the fullest powers of the Daily Worker. Had it not been for the immediate call of our ‘Daily’ for protests when we were arrested, we faced the greatest danger of lynching. But the fascist hounds crumpled under the barrage of vrotests unleashed by the read- ers of the ‘Daily.’ “In our hunger strike, the ‘Daily’ won half the battle for us. We join the other political prisoners of the country in stating that our fate would be twice as bitter without the Daily Worker. “The circulation chart is an in- dicator of utmost importance. We hope to see it rise. “For the prisoners, “JOHN ADAMS.” Two Strikers Are Held In York After Police Attack Demonstration YORK, Pa.. Aug. 10.—Despite the fact that police with tear gas and clubs had attacked a peaceful dem- onstration of 3,000 workers in front of the T. E. Brooks cigar plant at Red Lion on July 26, two strikers were today being held for trial on charges of: “rioting” and “attack- , ing an officer.” The workers are Arthur Kelly and W. W. Hitz. Proof that there had been no disturbance before the po- lice attacked, firing tear gas into the crowd, was disregarded by Al- derman Paul Shive, who heard the cases. Seven others in the demonstra- tion were discharged. Fifteen more of the 55 arrests will be heard later today. New Orleans Workers, Defying Terror, Demonstrate for Relief With hundreds of National Guardsmen on one side of the City Hall te defend Huey P. Long’s interests and hundreds of armed police- men on the other side, mobilized by Mayor Walmsley in the dispute of the two capitalist political factions, 5000 Negro and white workers took part Tuesday in one of the most militant demonstrations ever witnessed in the South. The workers carried banners demanding passage of the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, payment of the Soldiers’ bonus, equal rights for Negroes, the use of all war funds for the | unemployed, for a workers’ and fa States and for the defense of the Soviet Union, The meeting was called by a united front of Communists, Social- ists, the Unemployment Councils, the Maritime Workers’ Union, the League for Industrial Democracy and other labor organi- zations, 5.000 Ly nn Shoe Workers | Loeal d cinieeslatie s AFL Policies Result Unfavorable Pacts in LYNN, Mass., Aug. 1,000 workers are work following the Lynn shoe workers | Monday morning as a prote: onstration.

All the men on the 200 vessels of the gill-netters fleet, and a majority of the tender crews have also walked out. As the strike spread to the can- ning plants, six large canneries were tied up by strikes today with 500 workers out, and the two remain- ing trap canneries are expected to follow. The fishe:men have elected a rank and file strike committee of twenty- five, electing members of the Can- nery Workers Industrial Union in the leadership. The national sec- retary of the union was arrested, and the fishermen, jamming the Streets, issued an ultimatum to the merchants and the Chamber of Commerce that no settlement would be made until he was released. Al- most immediately the national sec- retary was freed. In -solidarity with the striking fishermen, the rank and file long- shoremen today refused to load sal- mon cases. Aroused by the grow- ing mass support, the fishermen are determined to stay out until all de- mands are won. The men voted solidly to stand behind their demands, including recognition of the union and for no discrimination against striking aoe in the plants and on the eet See. 14. of Communist Party Plans Election Actions in Conference NEW YORK—Communist Party election campaign plans are rapidly moving forward in the Sixth As- sembly District. of the Bronx fol- lowing the election conference held Monday, at which delegates of the Communist Party and Young Com- munist League of Section 14 and representatives fro fraternal organ- izations endorsed the Communist election platform.

MAGIL DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 10.—A new series of lay-offs is sweeping through the auto plants here. The entire night shift of the B: Mack Avenue plant, involving about 4,000 workers, was recently laid off and there are reports that on Aug. 15 the Briggs Highland Park plant will shut down completely. The third shift at the Plymouth plant (2,000 workers) has been laid off. A worker at the Ternstedt plant, told by a foreman that a complete shut down of Ternstedt's was ex- pected today. This will throw 3,000 Workers, most of them women, out shop in the month of June). Only about 2,000 out o fthe normal 18,000 are now employed at the three Hudson plants, and most of days a week. The Ford plant, according to re- liable information, will shut down completely on Aug. 26 for a week and possibly two. Though more than two-thirds of the auto workers have been laid off, with the vast majority of the rest working only a few days a week, production has declined much. less - Aug. 4, automobile production in the United States and Canada totaled 58,554 units. This is only 1,537 units below the corresponding Period of last year, at which time employment in the industry was close to the peak for the year. This is accounted for by the tremendous intensification of speed-up and in- dicates that when the production season svarts again next year, many | workers wili be permanently unem- ployed.
