The Small Home and Property Owners Relief Bill provides a moratorium on all interest, principal and tax payments and a morfforium on foreclosures and tax sales, To speed the work of the hunger | march, organizers have been sent into the Buffalo area and into West- chester county. All workers’ organi- zations have been asked to elect delegates to the hunger march on the basis of one delegate for each 50 members. Unorganized workers on the relief jobs and in the neigh- borhoods are asked to elect dele- gates on the basis of one for each 25 workers represented. The United Action Conference set itself the goal of sending 1,000 dele- gates from the New York area. To send these delegates, the conference is seeking to raise $10,000 through a tag day week. All workers are asked to get collection boxes through their organizations or from the United Action Committee, 11 West 18th St. The tag day collections will be made throughout the week be- ginning Thursday, Sept. 27.

The New York City delegation will leave Oct. 13 at noon. Other groups will leave from the Buffalo area on Oct. 14 and from the Binghamton atea on Oct. 15. Each main con- tingent will be joined during the march by sub-contingents. Mass meetings are being arranged in each of the cities that the columns will pass through. Electric R.R Is. Tied-Up By 100 Per Cent Strike WASHINGTON, Sent. 24 (FP The Washington, Baltim Annapolis Railway, an c Jas was tied up Sept. 21 by a strike of its transportation workers. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers, the Order of Railway Con- ductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen were involved in the walkout of some 125 workers. With a wage scale of little more than 50 cents an hour, the workers demanded a new contract to pro- vide for extra compensation for extra mileage, according to C. W. Jones and W. D. Johnson, strike leaders, “This is a controversy Over general working conditions,” they said. “We are not asking for any increases here, but we do want a restriction on the number of miles a man runs and extra com- pensation for it.” The strike was 100 per cent effec- tive, all trains being stopped, and the city of Annapolis virtually iso- lated, since the road is its cheif transportation channel. Between Washington and Baltimore passen- gere were transferred to the Balti- more and Ohio Railroad. and | | Hillman, Lewis, etc., that “their in- terests are your interests.” The res- olution dealing with this question demands the mobilization of the membership for a militant struggle “to wrest from the employers higher wages in the face of rising living costs to the end that we may raise the living and working standards of American labor and secure short- ening of hours to provide employ- ment for additional hundreds of thousands of unemployed workers.” Wagner Bill Exposed The resolution on unemployment insurance exposes the Wagner Bill —supported by A. F. of L. official- dom—as a scheme to sidetrack real unemployment insurance. The reso- lution calls for the endorsement of the Workers’ Unemployment and Social Insurance Bill by the con- vention—it has already been en- dorsed by more than 2,000 local unions, thirty Central Labor bodies, four State Federations of Labor, four International Unions and many fraternal organizations to which members of A. F. of L. Unions belong—and for “pressure on Con- gress to enact its law.” The resolu- ‘tion also proposes “‘a national drive for the endorsement of the bill by every local union.” A major proposal of first class political importance is contained in the resolution calling for the with- drawal of all A. F. of L. officials and officials of affiliated unions from N, R. A. boards—national, regional and local. The resolution states that “the service of A. F. of L. officials, in behalf of the N. R. A., | labor movement. | Urges Solidarity Aciion | The resolution calling for solidar- | ity action with all workers on) |tion, is a necessary step toward | unification of all forces of labor. It | proposes “joint solidarity action with all workers on strike and in all struggies against employers, | against terror, injunctions, for higher wages, shorter hours, etc. . . .” The resqlution denounces the prac- tice of ignoring the struggles of workers organized outside of the A. F. of L. and of encouraging A. F. | of L. union members to take the places of these workers in strikes. Another basic resolution calls for | the repudiation of the stand taken | by A. F. of L. officials against sym- pathy strikes. It proposes that “we go on record as supporting sym- pathy strikes to aid the cause of any workers’ struggle and that the local unions repudiate the stand of the Executive Council and Interna- tional officials and uphold their right to engage in sympathy strikes or in any other strike or struggles regardless of the position taken by reactionary officials.” Citing the instance of certain union officials who have sanctioned the use of the National Guard proposes “that any officials who sanction the use of troops in strike struggles shall be deemed agents of the employers and removed from office.” President William Green’s con- demnation of the general strike in San Francisco and the Bay Coun- | ties is denounced as a “strike- | breaking action” in another resolu- | tion, and all affiliated locals are | the Executive Council.” | A central resolution calls for the | amending of the constitution of all | unions to guarantee freedom of | members to belong to any political | party or religious organization “without endangering their rights and privileges as members of the | union.” The abolition of all dis- | crimination against Negro workers is demanded. Inner Union Democracy Another resolution deals with the | a powerful labor movement based | question of the many federal labor the A. F. of L. and under the con- trol of the Executive Council—and “support to the federal labor unions in the respective in- dustries” for uniting them with other labor unions and the “forma- tion of one industrial union in each industry.” A further extension of the policy indicated in the above resolution is contained in the resolution on in- dustrial unionism. This resolution calls for “genuine industrial union- ism to be achieved through the re- organization of the membership into industrial unions by the merg- ing of craft unions in each indus- try and that said industrial unions shall be based on programs of struggle and against collaboration with the employers.” The main political resolution calls for the organization through the unions of mass resistance to the growth of fascist tendencies and the use of fascist methods against work- ers and their allies; it calls for the organization of mass protest and resistance to the Wall Street im- perialist war program. Anti-War Demand The Rank and File A. F. of L. Committee will propose to the 54th to the stronger organization of the working class front against im- | perialist war and defense of the Soviet Union, the Nye Committee now investigating the munitions industry lift all restrictions on its discoveries, drop all diplomatic maneuvering with the “merchants of death” and their agents of mass of all governments, officials and in- dividuals who in any way have given aid to the munitions traffic and war mongering. This program, as has been stated, is based on a detailed knowledge of the neéds and wishes of gfeat num- | bers of American workers whose heroic struggles in the last two years, in the face of official, oppo- | sition and sabotage, are an un-| | mistakable gauge of their desire for | [Withdrawal of A.

The issues dealt with in the pro- |gram of the A. F. of L. Rank and |File Committee are the central is- |sues before the working class and |the organized labor movement. In {one form or another they will be |the central issues before the 54th A. F. of L, Convention in San | Francisco. C. P.

A dele- gation headed by Michael Davidow, Communist candidate for Assembiy- man, met with the relief super- viso>. Disregarding the police order not to allow any speakers, the workers set up a stand immediately in front of the relief bureau. One of the cases taken up was the scheduled eviction of the Rudick family from their home at 721 Hopkinson Avenue. Through im- mediate mass action the eviction was stopped and the twenty-eight families in the house organized a house committee. Twelve workers joined the Unemployment Council at the mass meeting. Striking Welders Close | United Dry Docks Co.; Warship Work Halted \ | | | NEW YORK.—The complete shut- | |down of the yard of the United Dry Docks, Inc., Mariners Harbor, | Staten Island, where 1,200 workers lare employed, was forced Friday by | | the strike there of 11 welders, mem- | bers of the International Associa- | tion of Mechanics and Welders, in- | dependent, who struck Thursday. The strikers demand $1.10 an hour, union recognition, a 30 per cent in- | crease in wages for all apprentices, that blowers be provided wherever | galvanizing work is done. Among the vessels under construc- tion on which work was bfought to a halt by the strike are two destroy- ers for the United States Navy. Fred Sinay, president of the In- ternational Brotherhood of Boiler- makers, Shipbuilders and Helpers, A. F. L,, issued a statement con- demning the strike as “outlaw” be- cause the welders’ union is not affiil- iated to the A. F. L. A statement issued by the Ship- yard Workers Local 307 of the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, | condemns the action of Fred Sinay and call upon all workers at the Staten Island plant to get behind the welders, simultaneously present- ing their own demands, to set up a | joint strike committee and fight for | one united union in the yard. Second Death Threat Sent Y.C.L. Organizer by Gang in San Diego SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24—“You have been warned. We regret that jyou have chosen to take our sug- gestion so lightly. This time we're not warhing you. We're telling you.” This death threat was re- ceived Saturday by Paul Shapiro, Young Communist League organizer in San Diego. “Take a little trip te another climate—or else—taps. The Clan,” the warning continued. This is the second time San Diego fascist gangs have threatened to murder Shapiro, who hes contin- ually defied them and their warn- ings, and continued his activities in organizing the Y. C. L. in San Diego and the Imperial Valley. That the fasciss gang threaten- ing Shapiro is closely connected with government circles is shown by the circumstances surrounding the delivery of the first threat.

Kansas Crusher Men »|Teceived by the I. Page Three ATHAWAY TO SPEAK AT CLEVELAND C.P. ANNIVERSARY RALLY ram and Failure ®akesi Trial In Hungary Set ForThis Month Demonstrations Before Hungarian Consulates Planned by LL.D. NEW YORK. — Demonstrations before the Hungarian consulates in New York, Chicago, and Cleveland are being organized by the Ine ternational Labor Defense in cons nection with the trial of Mathias Rakosi, Hungarian workers’ leader, who has just finished a sentence of eight and a half years hard labor for participation in the Hungarian revolution, and who is still held in jail, framed on the charge of having been a member ngarian Soriet Governe ment fifteen years ago. Cabled information has just been . D. that the trial will begin at the end of Sep- tember or early in October. The Hungarian government has refused to permit David Levinson, I. L. D. attorney of Philadelphia, who went to Hungary to defend Rakosi, to take charge of the de- fense. Levinson was permitted only under the pressure of public |opinion, to have a very brief in- terview with Rakosi. This inter- {view was held in the presence of the prison director. The latter stated that Rakosi was in excellent health, but when Rakosi energeti- cally denied this, he was forbidden to speak any further and the in- terview was cut off. At the time of the formation of the Soviet Government in Hun-= gary, in March, 1919, Rakosi, then twenty-seven years of age, was Assistant People’s Commissar of Trade. For a time he was Com- mander-in-Chief of the Hungarian Red Militia. He was first sen- tenced to die by the military court in September 25, 1926. However, under the pressure of world ptd- test, the court was forced to de- clare itself not competent in the case and Rakosi was tried again in ordinary court, and sentenced to eight and one half years at hard labor. The Horthy govern- }ment applied every measure of | physical and moral violence with the aim of killing Rakosi in pri+ son. Desperate measures were taken against him and he spent more than one-third of his period of imprisonment in special pune | ishment cells.
