Union Misleaders DETROIT, Sept. 5.—The thréat- ened strike of 1,700 Detroit street car workers has been temporarily held up through the maneuvering of city politicians and the leader- ship of the Street Railway Men's Union, The whole strike movement is being diverted by reactionary union leadership in cahoots with the Stregs Railway Commission into an attene®™t to bring about conflict be- tween the street car workers and the bus drivers. Last November the Commission in an attempt to smother protests of the street car workers for better working conditions and higher wages promised them 100 jobs held by the bus drivers. This ruling, although it was never put into ef- fect, split the two groups of workers and effectively prevented a united front action against their bosses. Recently this November subter- fuge to take away jobs from the bus drivers and give them to the street car workers was tried again when the street car workers called for a strike vote. This scab ruling was again ruled illegal and the whole question has become apolitical football with the street car workers and the bus drivers as the victims. S Militant -street car workers are urging a breakaway from their mis- jJeaders and union with their fellow workers of the Motor Coach Opera- tors’ Union to force the joint fight for better conditions and higher wages down the bosses’ throats. Y.C.L. of Philippines Scores Lynch Verdicts In Scottsboro Trials NEW YORK.—Protests by the Young Communist League of the Philippine Islands against the Scottsboro lynch verdicts have been sent to President Roosevelt, the Su- preme Courts of Georgia and Ala- bama, and to the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, it was Jearned when copies of the resolu- tions were received by the national office of the International Labor Defense. The Y. C. L. of the Philippines is working under conditions of ex- treme terror, as the Communist movement has been illegalized by the infliction of long prison terms on twenty-three leaders of the Com- munist Party there. A fight is be- ing waged, with the support of the I. L. D. and the Anti-Imperialist League of the United States, to force the freedom of the impris- oned leaders. Y¥.C.L.

The August 19 conference elected a committee of twenty-five to meet with Mayor Davis and the City Council at the first session of the city body. The demands formulated at the conference call for: 1) A thirty-hour week at union wages on all relief and P.W.A. jobs. 2) Full cash rent for all unem- ployed tenants; an end to evictions. 3) No discrimination on relief or on the work projects; Negro, wo- men, foreign-born and young work~- ers, regardless of political or reli- gious belief to have full rights to relief. 5) Gas, water and electricity to all unemployed. Assemble at City Hall) j Dunne Flays MOONEY’S RELEASE Chicago Car \Paint Olson’s Role FOR FUNERAL URGED Union Backs In Minneapolis n Singles Out Governor, For Strikebreaking in Truck Strike (Special to the Daily Worker) APOLIS, Minn., Sept. 5— Speaking to a capacity crowd that filled even the standing room in the South Side Auditorium, Bill applause, compared the West Coast and Minneapolis strikes in connec- tion with the rising struggles led by the Communist Party against hunger, fascism and imperialist war. Observers estimated that 90 per cent of the audience- were members of the organized labor movement, with a large block from Union 574. Dunne concentrated his attack on strikebreaking Governor Floyd B. Olson as the main enemy, characterizing the local Trades and Labor Assembly officialdom as Ol- | son’s first, line of defense, and the Trotzkyite leadership of the | drivers’ |in the labor movement. He quoted |at length from articles and speech- |es published in the official organ of the union, edited by the Trot- skyites, to prove his statements. Both the henchmen of Olson in the Labor Assembly here and the Trotzkyites have deliberately tried to create the impression among workers that the West Coast strikers were defeated. They have tried to picture the West Coast workers as demoralized and hope- less after the “descent of the Stal- movement.” Dunne displayed the Daily Worker with its headlined news of 180,000 votes for Gallagher in the California primaries and asked if this was proof of the alleged de- feat. This silenced the Trotzky- ites, Dunne paid a glowing tribute to the initiative, organizational ability, courage and determination of the membership of Local 574, and stated that this was the guarantee of the defeat of the enemies of the working class inside the labor movement and the assurance of the rise of a new and powerful labor movement and labor leader- ship in Minnesota. union as his second line | inites upon the West Coast labor | 5) Removal of all police from the relief stations. 6) Endorsement of the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill by the City Council.

On June 18, under the pressure of workers as- sembled there, the City Council was forced to pass a resolution favoring the payment of rents, an end to evictions, and for the cash payment of relief, Since then it has failed to take one step to provide funds for putting this resolution into effect. Since that time, two workers have been murdered by police in the relief stations, police terror has increased, evictions have continued, and the relief payments have re- mained at the same starvation levels despite a continued rise in the cost of living. Branéh Pickets Store To End Jim-Crowism PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.—Initi- ating a drive against jim-crowism and job discrimination against Ne- groes, the Frederick Douglas Branch of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, 1339 Parrish St., began pick- eting the American Stores Com- pany branch store at Thirteenth and’ Cambridge Sts., last Friday. Picketing will continue daily, and a delegation of white and Negro workers will visit officials of the company to present the following demands: Immediate reduction in hours of all clerks and the hiring of Negro clerks at equal wages to do the ad- ditional work. NEW YORK. — LaGuardia’s mounted police rode into a crowd of 800 men, women and children watching an exhibition of amateur wrestling and boxing given Sy the Spartacus Greek Workers Athletic Club at the picnic of an Interna- tional Workers Order Branch Sun- day at Van Cortlandt Park. A mounted policeman watched the exhibtion for more than half an hour, then demanded of the athletes if they had a permit. When told no permit was necessary as none of the athletes was a profes- sional, the policeman rode his horse into the crowd, trampling two chil- dren and several women. When the workers rallied in self-defense, he rode away, and later returned with three moré mounted policemen. The four then rode into the crowd, inflicting severe injuries on many workers and their children. Indignant at the brutal police at- tack, the workers held a protest meeting on the spot and elected a delegation of five men and ‘three women to visit the police station to demand the removal of the police from the picnic grounds, Many of the workers accompanied the dele- gation, which forced the withdrawal of the police. ¥.C.L.

Funds were voted Monday night at a meeting of street car men for the support of the strike. The union leaders were also instructed to take “whatever steps are neces- sary” to insure the success of the strike. Late yesterday leaders of Local No. 241 stated that they “woula go along with the street car men 100 per cent.” The strike is continuing with sporadic militant picketing, but no effective mass action. The busses are maintaining operation, and po- lice are viciously attacking pickets. Talk of a sympathy strike of street car and “L” men continues, intensified by the economic de- mands of these workers in their own industry. So far, however, Amalgamated leaders have pre- vented such action. Philadelphia Furriers Enter Fourth Week of Strike With 90% Out PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.—En- tering the fourth week, the general furriers’ strike continues to keep 90 per cent of the shops tied up. largest shops in the city, con- tinues efforts to operate, with the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union throwing a mass picket line about the place daily. A delegation of thirty strikers, who returned from the furriers’ meeting at Cooper Union, New meeting, that they were highly enthused by the meeting, and the strikers are now more determined than ever to stay out until their demands for a 35-hour week, wage increases, and a 3 per cent unem- | ployment insurance fund at the bosses’ expense are won.

The mili- tancy and solidarity of these work- ers, their wives, their children, in the fight against the Onion Grow- ers Association has aroused the sympathy of the workers through- out Ohio. For more than three months they have held their ranks solid against the organized vigilante terror gangs of the employers; against Govern- ment trickery and arbitration schemes; and against the efforts of the American Federation of Labor officials to pacify their militant methods and mass actions to win their strike. Not even the forced evictions from the company-owned houses, throwing hundreds of families into the open without shelter, has damp- ened their spirits. Nor has the lur- ing promise of the Government of free transportation back to the Ken- tucky hills, their original homeland, broken their ranks, Instead, they Onion Pickers’ Long Str have forced the Government to furnish them with food, clothing, and sheiier and have “dug in” for @ fight to the finish—to win! These “hill-billies” are in revolt. Fooled By Ohio Landlords But who are these workers? They are descendents of the earliest stock from the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee. Some of the families came to Ohio from Kentucky twenty or thirty years ago. They were coaxed and fooled by the rich Ohio landlords that a pot of gold awaited them for their labor in the onion fields. Most of thenr left their homes with the expectation of soon -returning. But their labor only got them further in debt with the em— ployers. Now after thirty years of toil many of them are still in debt and none have earned enough to get back home to the hills of Ken- tucky. The work they do is backbreak- ing. Their main job is to keep the onion fields free from weeds, pull- ing them out by hand. They work from eleven to fifteen hours a day in the hot sun for from seven to twelve cents per hour. The whole family is employed—children four and five years old can be found working eleven hours a day side by side with adult workers. But the children are not classified as work- ers, they are called “helpers,” and receive only forty to fifty cents per day. When they grow into young ike Reveals Hi igh M ilitancy - manhood and womanhood they re- Place the older workers who are fired for being too slow. The old worker is cast. aside like the weeds he picks, left in the marshlands of Ohio to rot and die. As in the company-controlled steel and coal mining towns, the Onion Growers Association con- trols every phase of the life of, the workers, Most of the workers live in the company-owned houses— eight by twelve foot shacks — for which the company deducts two days’ wages a week as rent. Role of A. F. of L. The strike originated from a pro- test against firing the older men. The low pay and long hours were’ also burning grievances. The wave of strike struggles throughout the country set an example for them and they walked out. The A. F. of L. organizers rushed to the scene. One Berry Collins, an A. F. of L. organizer, started collecting initia- tion fees at one dollar per head, but when the situation got too hot and a warrant was out for his ar- rest—he skipped. Okey Odell and Reissman, two local men, were put in charge of the strike. The work- ers did not trust them. They watched their every move and forced militant actions through at all meetings. At first the A. F. of L. refused to grant the workers a charter, but, due to the favorable publicity for the strike they received h 3847 S. State St. on Sept. 14.

The demands of the workers are: (a) An eight hour day. (b) Thirty- five cents an hour wage. (c) No discrimination against the union members. (d) Return of all work- ers to their old jobs and homes. To win these demands the strik- ers Tesort to mass picketing. They block the roads leading into the onion fields—stop cars and search the occupants—determined to keep out strikebreakers. Their strike and picketing has been so success- ful that it is reported that the en- tire onion crop has been ruined. In the same vicinity are planted also hundreds of acres of potatoes which must be soon dug or the po- tato crop will be ruined. The pres- | ent terror against the strikers in- dicates that the Onion Growers As- sociation will attempt to open up the fields and harvest the potato crop.
