TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1934 New York’s Jobless Millions | UR hundred thousand families, one- fourth of the city’s population, are de- pendent on relief in New York City. This is admitted by William Hodson, Commis- sioner of Welfare. This number, he admits, will increase to 500,000 families, to 2,000,000 persons by winter. Even this huge total does not represent the total number of unemployed, he says. This is only the number dependent on relief. Others are cared for by their families or friends, or eke out an existence in some other way. Although claiming that $201,000,000 will be spent for relief this year, he asknowledges that the present relief system is woefully inadequate. Yet all the proposals of the city administration center around cuts in relief expenditures and ad- ditional taxes on the masses to cover the relief burden. First, LaGuardia proposed a city lottery and a gross earnings tax on business institutions taking in more than $5,000 per year. He included in this the professions—doctors, dentists, lawyers, etc. These proposals clearly place the burden of caring for the unemployed on the workers and the lower middle class. * . . (OW, under the pressure of the big business groups, headed by Grover Whalen, La Guardia is retreating from these proposals. Pressure is being developed for some form of direct taxation on the masses. A sales tax is proposed. Likewise a two-cent subway tax. Other similar measures, all designed to make the masses pay, will be brought forward. The workers, the small business people and the professionals must be on their guard. Adequate unemployment relief solely at the expense of the rich, the bankers, brokers, manufacturers—this is the demand that represents the interests of the broadest masses of the people. The demands, against relief cuts, against forced labor, for adequate winter relief, for increased cash relief, for union wages and conditions on relief projects should bring tens of thousands of workers to the City Hall on September 22. This New York city action on September 22 should give a powerful impetus to the National Con- gress for Social Security to convene in Washing- ton at the opening of Congress. Above all the report of Hodson emphasizes the growing importance which must now be given to the plight of the unemployed throughout the en- tire country. The fight for the Workers Unemploy- ment and Social Insurance Bill is given still greater Significance. The Communist Party units, sections and dis- tricts should everywhere re-examine, with the view of strengthening this work. The Power of Attraction LESSON in the tremendous attractive and unifying force of the Communist and Socialist United Front can be gained from the Saar. There on Sunday, the United Anti-Fascist Action was able to mobilize more than 80,000 people to ex- press their fighting resistance to annex- ation of the Saar to Fascist Germany. Catholics, Protestants and other religious and Political groups opposed to Fascism for whatever reason joined in the united Commfinist and Socialist demonstration. Where the leaders of the anti- fascist mobilization expected around 40,000, they found that more than double the number actually came to demonstration, This shows what the United Front can do, not only among the members and sympathizers of the two parties, the Socialist and Communist Parties, but among the great mass of workers of various political and religious beliefs. The very establish- ment of a united front of action against fascism, against war, against hunger, acts as a powerful central attractive force in drawing in wide masses of workers, farmers, intellectuals and others. In the United States, with hunger, inflation, | fascist developme: war preparations speeding | ahead, it is imperative that this powerful attractive | force of the united front be established without any further delay. The AFL Convention and Industrial Unionism HERE are already indications that the questions of industrial unions will be one of the important problems debated at the coming convention of the American Federation of Labor. A section of the | A. F. of L. top officialdom, led by John L. | Lewis and Sidney Hillman, are advocating {| the industrial form of organization. William Green continues to advocate retention of the craft form | of unions. Undoubtedly the industrial form of organization far better for the workers than the old craft system. The craft system breaks up the workers into separate trades and makes strikebreaking on the part of union members easier. The industrial form of organization has been advocated for years by the Communist Party and the Trade Union Unity League. But the industrial FORM of organization is of no advantage to the workers if the misleaders of the union retain a non-struggle policy of co- operation with the bosses and the N.R.A. With- out a fighting program, the industrial FORM is useless to the workers. The unions led by Hillman and Lewis have had the industrial FORM of organization for years. This did not prevent these misleaders from cart ing through a policy of class collaboration which differed in no way from the betrayal policy of Green. The Lewises and Hillmans have time and again betrayed the workers’ demands to arbitration. Both are members of the N.R.A. Boards, and as such have prevented strikes and helped the employers’ force speed up and low minimum wages on the workers. They have sold out strike after strike. Today in the Fayette County mining field the com- pany union gangsters are terrorizing U.M.W.A. members, because of Lewis’ betrayal of the miners through forcing over N.R.A. arbitration on these miners. Both Hillman and Lewis back Green's cam~- paign against the militants in the trade union movement. is ‘HE industrial FORM of organization has not prevented the Lewises and Hillmans from be- traying the union members. Lewis and Hillman, et al, advocate the industrial form of organization in order the better to carry through their no-strike, betrayal policy. The industrial form of organization as now set up in such unions as the U.M.W.A. gives the Lewises bigger rake-offs in more dues payments. Thus the Lewises and Hillmans are the better able to betray whole industries by directly dealing with the trusts controlling those industries. They are the more effective in sitting on N.R.A. boards and betraying the workers to arbitration. Thus Lewis wrote a no-strike clause into the U.M.W.A. contracts. These A. F. of L. bureaucrats know that the newly organized workers in the A. F. of L.—the auto, rubber, aircraft workers—are organizing on an industrial basis. They advocate the industrial form in order to maintain leadership over these more militant workers, so that they can behead their struggles. They are the better able to extend the influence of their betrayal program through this form. The industrial form of organization makes their strikebreaking more effective, influenc- ing wider spheres of workers. In such crafts as the machinists, the leaders advocate continuation of the craft form in order to embrace machinists in all industries, Te A. F. of L. leaders of the Lewis type campaign for the industrial form of organization now in order to misdirect the militancy of the hundreds of thousands of new workers who have joined the A. F. of L., and to keep them from embracing a real class struggle program. Thus they hope to prevent a real fight against Green’s strikebreaking policies at the coming convention. The A. F. of L. Rank and File Committee For Unemployment Insurance and Relief comes forward in the preparations for the A. F. of L. convention, with a real class struggle program. The Rank and File Committee adds revolutionary content and meaning to the industrial form of organization. The A. F. of L. Rank and File Committee advocates real industrial unionism—not only the industrial form, but with it a policy of class struggle, of fight for better conditions for the workers, and of rank and file control of the trade unions. Real industrial unionism means a_ fight against the whole A. F. of L. bureaucracy, regard- less of form, which maintains its vise-like strike- breaking grip on the A. F. of L. unions. oF |Join the Communist Party] 38 EAST 12TH STREET, NEW YORK, N.

Production is at a standstill, and While a considerable number of bankrupt farmers, ruined business Men and college students have been | brought into the mines under pro- tection of gunmen—lately aug- mented according to local reports by some 25 or 30 Chicago gangsters —and the pumps have been manned after a fashion, there is no actual mining being done. The company press has adopted the silent treat- ment of the strike for the present, and one cannot find out from these Sheets that Montana’s most im- portant industry has been brought to a standstill by a strike of work- ers impelled to action by unbear- able conditions. As for the A. F. of L. officials, it is clear that they are going o any lengths to “clean up” all im- portant strike movements before the fifty-fourth annual convention s into session on Oct. 2 in San incisco. Naturally they are act- ing for and have the full support of the Roosevelt administration in this praiseworthy strikebreaking for eral conciliators, Frey is meeting with great difficulties. First of all |the craft unions are reluctant to desert the miners. Besides their feeling of working class solidarity, | greatly Strengthened during the long struggle, they know that de- sertion of the miners means their own isolation. At the same time the miners’ strike committee has been sending delegations to these local unions, The strike committee of the I. U. M. M. S. W. also called in Frey and asked him in a very unpleasant manner what he was trying to do. Frey stood upon the decisions of the Washington conference and re- fused to enter into further confer- ences. He got a lot of verbal abuse and was invited to pack up and go back to Washington. He left for a while but returned. The immediate developments can- not be predicted accurately at this time but it is probable that Butte and the state of Montana will also be treated to a “Red Scare” if the i strikebreaking maneuvers fail. One thing is certain: The work- ers in the metal mining industry, especially the miners, engineers, pumpmen and smelter workers, most of them recently organized, have carried out the militant tradi- tions of the 1917 strike and have created new traditions of stubborn the benefit of god, king, country and she New Deal, “ g ; united struggle and unprecedented solidarity, " Calls Units is Open Fund Drive Today (Continued from Page 1) | these it lays down tasks demand- | ing immediate action.

Costa Rica, Aug. 27. — In the fever and snake-infested swamps of the United Fruit Co domain here, more than 7,000 work- ers are militantly maintaining the strike ranks despite the most vi- cious terror and whoelsale arrests. The ike started on August 9. when e United Fruit and other companies refused the workers’ de- mands for increased wages, better living conditions, and medical at- tention. More than half of the strikers are Negro workers, many brought into the country under contracts from Haiti, Nicaragua and other countries. More than 46 of the leaders have been deported, twenty-six to Nica- ragua. Hundreds have been ar- rested. The United Fruit Co. domi- nates the government of President Ricardo Jimenez. C. P.

The persecution has been especi- ally severe against the Communist Party of Costa Ricae which has flung all its forces behind the strike. working for its victory against the mighty imperialist concern that rules the country. are abominable. They are forced to work in fever-infested waters, under the broiling sun. A great number of them are inflicted with malaria and other tropical diseases, and receive very little medical care. The demands for increased wages provide a raise in pay for all labor- ers, carters, longshoremen, and those on monthly salary. Because of the feudal conditions under which they work, being forced to pay heavy rent for company houses, to provide their own tools, to buy in company stores at outrageous Prices, the strike demands are di- rected against all of these oppres- sive measures. Snake-Bites Often Fatal Subject to snake-bites which often ends: fatally, the strikers de- mand that the companies be forced to comply with the law providing benefits for all such accidents. Because the government has made a special contract with the the United Fruit Co. that is of bene- fit only to the Wall Street concern, the strikers demand: “Rejection of the Cortes-Chit- tenden agreement, due to the fact that the United Fruit Co. is the only one to derive benefit from the same, and thereby, farmers and especially workers are the sufferers from that contract.” Want Union Recognized They also demand “recognition of the Atlantic Syndicate of Work- ers, and other workers organiza- tions on the part of the government and the bosses.” The strikers and the Communist Party of Costa Rica has made a special appeal to American work- ers’ organizations to send cables of protest to President Ricardo Jime- nez at Limon, Costa Rica, against the arrests and persecution of strik- ers, against the deportations, and the support given by the govern- ment to the Wall Street concern, the United Fruit Co. Nazis Rush Production BERLIN, Aug. 27—War arma- ments are being prepared through- out Germany with increasing open- hess and rapidity. The metal work- ing undertakings are receiving gigantic orders for war material from the Reichswehr. All orders are given with short terms of de- livery, and generally entail work at the full capacity of the factories. The Speed-up is so violent that pro- duction is frequently badly organ- ized and spoilt goods result. In order to secure Profits by enabling the factory owners to adhere to the aka conte of goer, the work- ave work overti Bundine. rtime and on In Warnemunde, on the Baltic, all undertakings manufacturing war material are working feverishly. The Heinkel airplane works are turning out large numbers of rapid, agile one-seaters. Dozens of these planes are tried out every day. In order to prevent outsiders from observing, the trials are carried out over the sea, That large numbers of aero- planes are completed daily is evi- denced by the fact that every day two or three crash and have to be fetched in. All these Planes are furnished with the newest type of motor, and with a protective screen to ward off electric rays which might put the motor out of action. Another undertaking, working under the name of an aviation school, is carrying out an order for over 40,000 containers for aeroplane gas bombs. These are square tin containers over a yard high, padded inside with felt rings. Every pos- sible speeding up method is em- ployed to enable the terms of de- livery to be kept. The workers are continually being told that if the orders are carried out punctually other and larger orders will come in. Airplane bombs of frightful effect are being cheaply and practically manufactured. The middle con- sists of a four to five-inch gas pipe, provided with four thumb screws welded on the top. This pipe is placed in a metal mould and a thick layer of cement poured around it. The bomb is then thrown into the sea, where it remains for eight days, to harden off thoroughly. After this the gas pipe is filled with an explosive. The detonater, screwed onto the bottom, is not made of metal, but of composition Jailin gs Fail to Halt Fruit Strike! |7,000 Maintaiu Solic| Conditions of the fruit workers | | 27 says, | described as the extreme left-wing THE WAY IT WORKS! by Burek Outlawed in Drive Against Workers | The British Section of the League | Against Imperialism and for Na-| tional Independence has issued a statement called “Fascism in Ac-| tion,” in which it reviews the ac-/| tions of the government in India | which recently terminated with the| outlawing of the Communist Party. Citing the government declara- tion that “the Communist Party is an unlawful association,” the League Against Imperialism de- clares: ‘To suport the granting of these sweeping powers, a statement is is- sued from Simla which says that the Communists have not tried to disguised their part in stirring up the recent Bombay Mill strikes. It then goes on to say that for a whole month the Kirti Kisan Party (Workers’ and Peasants’ Party), which is not a Communist organi- zation, had conducted village meet- ings in the Punjab—and that the| | Kirti-Kisan movement under vari-| Armaments ous names, had been gaining some | ground in areas hitherto little af- fected.

This opinion is supported by the two following points: “A further message from Simla in the Times of August 1 says, ‘The Provincial Governments are consid- ering what local organizations should be brought within the scope of the notification.’ And, in the House of Commons on July 30, the Secretary of State for India, reply- ing to James Maxton, M., P., said, ‘No other similar organizations have at present been declared un- lawful.’ Demands Formulated “In Bombay during January this year a meeting took place of dele- gates representing perfectly consti- tutional textile workers’ trade unions from different textile cen- Growth of Fascism in India Flayed by An - Communist Party Now ters throughout India. At this meet- ing it was decided that the only way to meet and resist the contin- ued attacgs upon the workers’ con- ditions was by a general stoppage of work. At the same time a pro- gram of demands was agreed to, and the date fixed for the calling of the general strike was May 1. “The government began to take action against the workers months before this date. A series of ar- rests took place in Cawnpore, Nag- pur, Bombay and Sholapur for speeches, etc. In the case of a worker, P. C. Joshi, who was ar- rested on March 8—the order for his arrest states: ‘P.

Sen- tences of two years imprisonment at hard labor for similar reasons have been given to workers in Bom- boy, Sholapur and elsewhere. One of these was the case of B. F. Rana- dive and it is interesting to note what the magistrate had to say when sentencing him to two years: Jailed for Anti-Imperialism “In the very beginning the ac- cused had said that by the holding of a meeting, the hungry workers, the starving workers, were declar- ing war against starvation, against unemployment, against capitalism and against imperialism.’ Regarding the interpretation of the word ‘im- perialism’ the Magistrate remarked, ‘No doubt in politics and economics this word did not denote the gov- ernment of a country; it was more a system or policy of government than the government itself. But in all cases of sedition the effect of the speech as a whole had to be considered and not the etymologi- cal or dictionary meaning of the words.’” The Magistrate further pointed out that a speech made at a time of profound peace and contentment might at a time of agitation and unrest excite intense hatred towards the government. “The Magistrate said that if the speech had contained nothing else, one could have had no objection and it might have been held that ‘imperialism’ referred to the system of government, and that ‘war’ was the Cawnpore Majdoor (Workers!

I therefore convict the accused. The speech is a clear incentive to vio- lence and bloodshed made at a time of great unrest and trouble which I think aggravates the offence.’ (Bombay Chronicle, May 30, 1934.) Whole Strike Committee Jailed “On the first day of the textile strike the whole of the strike com- mittee was arrested under the Bombay Special (Emergency) Pow- ers Act, an act passed ostensibly to be used at the time of Communal Riots, under which a person can be arrested by the police and kept in prison for a period of three months without trial or without even being produced before a Magis- trate. “Other powers, such as Section 144 banning meetings and proces- sions, were used against the work- ers. Pickets were arrested. Lathi charges were a daily occurrence, and at Delhi and Bombay, shoot- ing took place, many workers being wounded and some Killed. “On top of this, the government has sanctioned a prosecution against eight members of the strike com- mittee under the Trades Dispute Act of 1929 on the grounds that the strike was not legitimate. “These facts.will show the powers the government of India already hhas and how they are used. From this it can readily be appreciated might not excite bad feeling, but what this new Fascist measure will mean, And it is clear that these new powers are to be used not only against the Communist Party of India but also against the trade unions, strike committees and Work- ers’ and Peasants’ Parties to crush any movement to defend or improve economic conditions in the strug- gle fer independence.

With respect to average earnings, these statistics state: In November, 1929, building work- ers were earning 512 lire monthly, by April, 1934, only 384 lire. The average monthly earnings of metal workers has declined in the same time from 577 to 411 lire, of the textile workers from 317 to 227 lire.

Fae gaa ‘HE Trotzkyist sheet recalls that its leading light in China, Chen Diu Hsui, is still in jail. This little note follows a series of scurrilous articles against the heroic Comu- nist Party of China. We quote it: “It will also be recalled that in September, 1..., Chen Diu Hsui and ten members of the Shanghai District Committee were con- demned to long terms.

This is unheard-of in the revolutionary annals of China, c-siend yitaese (eid leading member of the Communist Party of China (that is, the “corrupt Stalinists” in Trot- zkyist terminology) is immediately executed—when caught—by the Chiang Kai Shek-Wang Ching Wei bourgeois friends of Chen Diu Hsui. When Chen Diu Hsui was “ar- rested” he was provided with ample funds, with a special supply of warm clothes (it was in the winter time). He requested a personal in- terview with Chiang Kai Shek, and actually received one with some of his chief henchmen, He now is being well taken care of by bour- geois admirers, and that means bourgeois admirers who are close enough to the butcher Chiang Kal Shek to count. SON Bice Ney it happened that about the time Chen Dui Hsui was ar- rested, a leading member of the Communist Party of China, Wan Ping, was seized. At the time the Trotzkyite press let out one of its loudest howls about the “betrayals” of Wan Ping, accusing him of treachery and stool-pigeoning. Wan Ping was tortured and harrassed in the foulest dungeons in Nanking. His flesh was torn peacemeal from his body, and his carcass flung into @ dungheap, But Chen Diu Hsui was paid for his vituperation against the Chinese Soviets, against the Communist In- ternational, against the Communist Party of China by his “bourgeois admirers.” The Communist Party of China has no “bourgeois ad- mirers,” women are forced to undergo at the hands of the German jailers. It is to 18 or 20 years of such torture that Georgia would send Angelo Herndon for the “crime” of organ- hungry workers.
