R. 7598, was unanimously endorsed by the International Molders’ Union Convention on Saturday. The 258 delegates at the meeting represented 30,000 workers in the steel industry. Despite the presence of reaction- ary Illinois Federation of Labor leaders, the bill received the sup- cps Thugs over the heads of relief officials. Owners of slum tenements and| hovels in Pittsburgh gave rebelled | against the policy relief authorities attempted to adopt which would | | pay the landlord property taxes and | one per cent of assessed valution in |12 monthly payments, are demand- | ing $15 and more per month for port of every delegate. Rank and file pressure, which showed itself in the bill's endorsement by a number of locals throughout the country, Led Lynchers forced support of the bill by the Molders’ Union officials, A resolution to aid in the defense of Tom Mooney, heroic class war prisoner, was also unanimously passed by the convention, Five hun- dred dollars was contributed to the Tom Mooney Molders’ Defense Committee, and a committee of three was delegated to call upon President Roosevelt and Governor Merriam of California to demand the freedom of Mooney. A demand for the passage of the same resolution by the coming American Federation of Labor con- vention in San Francisco was also supported by the delegates. With union locals from St. Louis, Philadelphia, Buffalo, San Fran- cisco and Chicago backing the bill, endorsement of the workers’ bill for Unemployment Insurance was passed without opposition. The resolution condemned the N. R. A. and all present relief schemes as unable to aid the millions of unem- ployed workers in the country. It read, in part: “All scientific studies of unemployment in the U. S. shows conclusively that the army of permanently unemployed is grow- ing and will remain for an indef- inite period—crisis or no crisis. “The best supporters of the N. R. A. are now compelled to admit that the N. R. A. cannot at best elim- inate unemployment. The most ac- curate figures show 15,000,000 totally unemployed in the U. S. “All relief schemes haye proven inadequate and a failure, and only a system of social unemployment insurance can alleviate to a great extent the sufferings of the millions of workers and their families in the United States.” “The Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill, H. R. 7598, which has been intitoduced in the U. S. Congress, specifies clearly: To provide insurance for all workers and farmers unemployed, for the full period of unemployment, with- out discrimination; such insurance to be administered by the workers themselves. This bill also specifies that money for unemployment and social insurance be obtained from taxations of all yearly incomes of $5,000 and up. “All other so-called unemploy- ment insurance schemes, such as the Wagner Bill, are in reality merely an unemployment reserve, and exclude many categories of workers; do not protect the unem- ployed; force the unemployed to do strike-breaking work; and at best provide for unemployment insur- ance of approximately $70 a year and only for those workers who have been recently employed.” Letter From Mooney ae oer ene ere eee The Mooney resolution was passed following the reading of a letter from the veteran working-class Jeader now in Folsom prison. He said in the letter that his frame-up was entirely a result of the “active, aggressive, militant part” he took in. labor struggles in the San Fran- cisco Bay region. In discussing the situation of the working class today, he declared: “The only solution, which ultimately will have to be taken, is the com- plete socialization of all the means of production and destruction—for use—instead of the present mad- house of rugged individualism for private profit and the enrichment of the few and the terrible poverty of the great masses.” Mooney has been a member of the Molders’ Union for 32 years and elected a delegate to every conven- tion since 1912, despite his contin- ued imprisonment by the ruling class of California. The San Fran- cisco Local 164, of which he is a member, elected him a delegate again this year. Organizer To Address Uupholsterers’ Meeting NEW YORK.—M.

Against Casper DETROIT, Aug, 28.—Further de- tails received by the International Labor Defense of the attempted kidnapping of George Casper, State organizer of the Michigan Farmers League, reveal the organization of @ lynching bee in the best southern style. Casper and other militant farm- ers were attacked last Tuesday at a@ mass meeting of about 500 farm- ers held in the township hall of Custer, Mich. The meeting was called in the fight the farmers are making to compel the Roach Can- ning Co. to pay them higher prices for pickles and beans. Ten minutes after the start of the meeting, it was broken up by deputies and con- stables on the pretext that the hall permit had been revoked. This was the signal for the com- pany thugs who had been planted in the crowd and around the build- ing. A group of farmers jumped up to defend Casper. Cries of “Lynch him,” “Here's the rope,’ went up from the thugs, many of whom were drunk. Foremen from the factozy, under the leadership of the com- pany manager, were seen arousing the gangsters. Casper managed to make his way downstairs and leaped through a window. ‘The lynchers went after him, but he succeeded in hiding in a pile of lumber and thus es- caped, The man-hunt continued all night, while Casper made his way to a friendly farmer’s home and hid there. Two other militant farmers, John Zukas and John Laiskonis, were also chased by the mob. Zukas was ar- rested and charged with having stabbed one of the lynchers, after the sheriff had first accused six or seven others, He was released on $1,500 bail. He will receive a hear- ing tomorrow morning, at the Ma- son County Courthouse, Ludington, Mich., and will be defended by John Safron, attorney for the Interna- tional Labor Defense. The company agents are continu- ing their threats in their effort to smash the Michigan Farmers League. The members of the Michigan Farmers League are determined to continue their fight to win better conditions for the farmers. The International Labor Defense has sent a letter to Attorney Gen- eral Patrick O'Brien, protesting this lynch terror and demanding the ar- rest and prosecution of the sheriff. Frisco ‘Emergency’ Brings City Workers $1,000,000 Wage Cut SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 28— Wages of municipal employees were cut a total of $1,000,000 by an or- dinance of the Board of Supervisors. The Board claimed they had no relief funds, and declared an “emer= gency.” This ruling forces city em- ployes to pay unemployment relief funds, _The heavy cut in wages of all city employes follows up the general attack of the Industrial Association and the city administration on the standard of living of the entire working class in San Francisco, The terror campaign against mili- tant working class organizations, now raging, serves as a cover for the union-smashing, wage-cutting drive which broke . the general strike and which continues. More Unemployed Farm Workers Are Reported WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.—Fewer hired workers were employed on American farms in July than dur- ing the month before. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics, U. S. Department of Agriculture, declares that reports from 20,799 farmers all over the country show average em- ployment of 87 hired workers per 100 farms on Aug. 1, compared with 102 hired workers on July 1. Even though wheat harvesting was beginning at the time, total employment in west north central states decreased 14 persons per 100 farms, “due to the extremely short crops in drought-affected areas,” | according to the bureau. Workers Will Protest Against High Milk Cost NEW YORK.—Brownsville work- ers will demonstrate against ‘the high cost of milk tomorrow when they gather at the corner of Hop- kinson and Pitkin Aves., Brooklyn, at 11 a.m. and march to Junius St. and Pitkin Ave. A mass meeting will be held out- side the offices of the Borden and Sheffield milk companies. Workers of Brownsville are being urged to join the demonstration with their children, their miserable shacks and use evic- | tion threats to coerce the relief bu- reau into paying their pound of flesh, | The Unemployment Councils are leading a mass fight against evic-| tions and hunger. Families have | been moved right into relief bu- | reaus following recent evictions, | compelling authorities to find hous- | ing facilities, and no less than 16 workers were arrested within the/ past week for participation in un- employed demonstrations. Preparations for the giant hun- ger march on Harrisburg, October 12, are drawing in ever larger sec- tions of the unemployed workers. Looking still further ahead, this mass movement is beginning to crystallize around the campaign for enactment of the Workers Bill at! the next session of Congress, large | orders for copies of the bill are be- | ing placed, and its popularization is | being carried into fraternal, bene- fiical and trade union organizations. Local after local of the United Mine | Workers of America is endorsing | the bill, Jobless Leaders’ Trial Held Up as Colorado Officials Plan Frame-Up TRINIDAD, Colo., Aug. 28—The trial of Dick Allander, organizer of the Unemployment Council, framed | on a charge of vagrancy, has been | postponed three times while the] prosecution has attempted to per- fect its frame-up. Allander is held under heavy bond. Unable to make the vagrancy charge stick, the prosecution has been making an unsuccessful effort to induce unemployed workers to testify that money collected to fi- nance the fight for unemployment relief and social insurance had been used by Allander for his personal needs. The workers approached have rejected these proposals and are waging a sharp fight for the immediate and unconditional release of the unemployed leader, N. Y. Metal Bed Strike Strong in Fourth Week NEW YORK.—The strike of the metal bed workers, led by the Fur- niture Workers Industrial Union, is still in full force after four weeks. All the efforts of the bosses to break the strike have failed, including those of boss Federman, who closed two shops in New York and opened a big plant, an open shop, in Phila- delphia. The union went after im there through the Philadelphia local with mass picketing. The bosses are now trying, by canvassing the workers in their homes, to herd them back to work, but they have not succeeded. The Strike Committee appeals to all mass organizations to help the strikers on their picket lines with relief and financially, in their strug- gle to win better conditions. Wire Brush Strikers Picket N. Y. Factory NEW YORK—One hundred work- ers, most of them Spanish and Negro, are striking at the H. Hertz- berg and Son plant, 41 East Eleventh St., against discrimination, for in- creased wages and union recogni- tion.

J., Aug. 28—At the convention of the unemployed | Workers’ organizations held here | Aug, 24 and 25, two hundred dele- gates endorsed the Workers Unem- | ployment Insurance Bill, adopted resolutions protesting against the |terror in South Jersey, and de- |manded the release of William | O'Donnell, militant leader of the | unemployed workers of Cumberland | County. Nine county and two state or- ganizations were represented by the | two hundred delegates from forty | | unemployed organizations. The La- | | bor Lyceum was packed with work- ers. Hundreds of visitors listened | attentively during the two days of | heated debates on principles and | resolutions and the appeals made by the many delegates, men and women, Negro and white, for one | United movement for. all unem- | ployed, The call for a formation of ‘a state-wide organization was issued |by the Mercer and Burlington County unemployed groups of re- actionary leadership. A cut and dried anti-red program had been | prepared by them for adoption; elimination of foreign-born mem- | bership was the central feature of | | the plan. Reactionary Proposals Defeated Mercer and Burlington Counties, | with 70 delegates at their command, | felt certain that they would swamp | | all “radical” proposals. But they were beaten by a small majority on the first test vote on the “red scare.” On the last roll call the workers’ program won 116 to 24. Among the many important and militant resolutions adopted were the following: “That we include in our organiza- tion all workers, employed, unem- ployed, partly unemployed and on relief rolls regardless of their race, creed, sex, color, nationality, re- ligion, political faith or other af- filiation. “That cash wages of not less than 60 cents an hour be paid for un- skilled labor, skilled workers to be paid the prevailing union rate of Jobless Meet in Trenton ‘To Demand State Relief wages.

Not more than eight hours | to be worked on any one day. “To win security by the enact- | ment of a Workers’ Unemployment | and Social Insurance Bill that is now pending in the House of Rep- resentatives, Washington, D. C. All of these points were made a part of the “Declaration of Prin- ciples” of the new organization. In addition, resolutions were| adopted calling for fire insurance payments for relief clients and de- manding that compensation and| lability insurance be provided by the relief administration on all re- lief projects, Appeals to Save Home An old unemployed worker with | tears in his eyes appealed to the convention to save his home, which | was free and clear and cost him| $3,500. Municipal authorities were selling it for unpaid taxes. The con- vention unanimously adopted a resolution condemning the New Jer- sey Relief Administration and de- manding that they pay this work- er’s taxes as provided by the rules | and regulations of F. E. R. A.| O'Donnell, in the name of the I. L.| D., provided an I. L. D. lawyer to! bring legal proceedings against the | relief director to compel him to| save this worker's home. The resolution which brought out | the most heated debate was the | Cumberland County resolution pro- | testing the arrest and conviction of William O'Donnell, militant | leader of the unemployed workers | of Cumberland County. The fas-| cist elements fought its adoption | bitterly, but the resolution was car- ried by a three to one yote. A resolution was also adopted condemning the terror released against the unemployed and em-| ployed workers of South Jersey and Supporting their brave fight for| their political and economic rights. | The convention demanded a thorough investigation of the state | relief administration finances and the immediate discharge of all po- litical job holders and their replace- ment by unemployed workers. | Jobless Plan March Despite Permit Denial NEW YORK.—The Unemployment Councils of Yorkville yesterday ap- pealed to all City Councils and workers’ groups for support in their march to the relief bureau here on Friday. Although the Yorkville Council has repeatedly requested a permit to march and demonstrate, the permit has been denied by the Police Department. Two weeks ago the Yorkville Council filed an application for a permit to march. Yesterday the Council again asked for the permit, and again it was denied. The coun- cil declared it would march, regard- less of the permit, and would hold the city administration responsible for the safety of the marching workers, The march will start Friday at 10 am., at 81st Street and Second Avenue, and will converge on the Home Relief Bureau at 78th Street and York Avenue, where a commit- tee will present the workers’ de- mands for increased relief and an end to all evictions. \ LEFT WING LL.G.W.U, MEET TODAY NEW YORK. — The Left Wing Group of Local 22 of the Interna- tional Ladies Garment Workers Union, will hold a group member- ship meeting today at 6 P.M., at Memorial Hall, 344 West 36th St., to discuss important matters of the industry. Relief in Cash Won by Strike In Bridgeport BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Aug. 28, (F.P.)—The 800 striking relief work- ers here won a partial victory when Relief Administrator Elinor Little was forced to return all work relief to a cash basis, The workers struck three weeks ago, after all work relief had been put on a forced labor basis under which the men worked for $5.60 in scrip and a weekly food basket. They demanded $12 weekly cash wages for all laborers, Under the new set-up the men will receive $5.60 in cash and the weekly food basket.
