DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934 Page Three Youth from Many U.S. Groups Uni | _ UNITED FRONT BODY ~IS NAMED TO LEAD SYSTEMATIC WORK Communists, Socialists, Represented at Congress and in National Executive Church and ‘Y’ Groups Committee CHICAGO, Ill., Oct. 3—More than 700 delegates to the Second United States Youth Congress unanimously endorsed @ program of militant action against war and fascism at their closing session here Sunday night. Committee of twenty-five, representing the broadest united front of 200,000 youth and com-: Posed of representatives from So- cialist, Communist, church, and “Y” groups, was elected by the Congress to direct the program worked out by the delegates. The National Committee is a cross-section of the many groups that composed the youth section of the American League Against War and Fascism, Among the members of the committee are: Richard B. Whitten, national secretary of the Student League for Industrial De- mocracy, and a delegate from the New Orleans local of the Socialist Party; Edith Turner, a Negro mem- ber of the National Industrial Coun- cil of the Y. M. C. A.; Waldo Mc- Nutt, chairman of the American Youth Congress and a member of the Rocky Mountain District Coun- cil of the Y. M. C. A.; Hayes Beall, chairman of the National Council of Methodist Youth; and Gil Green, National Secretary of the Young Communist League. Nationwide Representation The Youth Congress was com- Posed of young workers and stu- dents from every part of the coun- try and from every walk of life. There were boys and girls from schools and colleges. There were husky young workers from mines and factories. There were girls from from mills and shops. There were young Negro sharecroppers from the deep South. They had come together, irrespective of religious and political beliefs, to forge a united front of workers and stu- dents to defeat the reactionary forces of fascism and war. The first session, Saturday, out- lined a broad view of the nature of the problems that confronted the delegates. Workers and students described their participation in actual struggles against developing fascism on the picket line and in demonstrations. The second session, Sunday morn- ing, saw the delegates divided into various commissions which studied the problems of specific groups at the Congress—the unemployed, the students, the National Guard and others. Experiences were exchanged and plans of action were drawn up which were later incorporated into the general program of the Con- gress. Plan for Constant Work At the closing session, Sunday night, the delegates assembled in regional groups to lay the founda- tions for local organizations and local actions. This was the first concrete result of the decisions of the Congress. Of great importance were the plans made for systematic work within the armed forces of the na- tion. The Congress was stirred by the reports of delegates from the National Guard, and elected a Na- tional Guardsman from Youngs- town, Ohio, to the Executive Com- mittee. Throughout the sessions of the Congress the emphasis was on the important work that had to be done after the sessions were over. The delegates returned to their organ- izations with the message that the youth of this country have nothing to gain from either war or fascism. But of greater importance was the Message that the only way to com- bat this menace to the aspirations of the youth, was for every young person in the United States to join in this organized counter-atiack against the forces that intend to drag the youth to destruction. 15" ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS of the Communist Party @ NEW BRUNSWICK, N.

An Executive Dr. Ward Hits Morro Castle Bosses’ Greed CHICAGO, Oct. 3—Dr. Harry F. | Ward, chairman of the American League Against War and Fascism, commenting on the Daily Worker's recent exposure of the fact that the steamer Morro Castle carried arms on her last trip, called it “a typical example of what is bound to ‘happen under the present conditions of exploitation of American seamen by American shipping interests.” Dr. Ward is at the Second U. S, Con- gress Against War here. Dr. Ward's full statement follows: | “These startling facts are a typ- | ical example of what is bound to | happen under the present condi- | tions of exploitation of American seamen by American shipping in- terests. Unless these conditions of exploitation are stopped we are bound to get more cf this. The United States government must also be held directly responsible because of its policy of subsidizing these shipping interests, It is ap- parently useless {0 expect this government—a partner of these greedy capitalists—to really pro- tect the lives of the workers; it no longer even protects the lives of its own kind, as the Morro Castle disaster proves. The pur- pose of the fascist terror against which this Congress is fighting is to continue such conditions of ex- pleitation and terror as these which the Daily Worker has exposed and is so competently exposing.” Pickers | in Minnesuta Hail United Front Call) |For Higher Wage Fight) MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Oct. 3.— | The call for united front action on wages and the right to organize, re- cently sent by the Packinghouse Workers Industrial Union to the packinghouse section of the Inde- pendent Union of All Workers of Austin, Minn., has been formally discussed at a conference at Fari- bault, Minn. A delegation from south St. Paul) met with delegates from the various! plants organized in the I.U.A.W.|! The committees agreed upon a pro- gram to be taken into each local union for the membership and to be acted upon by the union as a} body. The conference discussion revolved about wages and the right to organ- ize, two of the burning problems of the workers in tht packing industry, and the methods whereby united ac- tion could be attained. The proposals for action, in favor of the united front, in the call in- cluded the right to organize, strike and picket against company union- ism; an increase in wages to meet the increase in prices; a workers’ code; unemployment insurance as outlined in the Workers Unemploy- ment Insurance Bill. These demands met the whole- hearted and enthusiastic support of the workers of the Independent Union and will enable the militant workers of these unions to carry through a mass drive to better the conditions of the workers and to draw new masses of workers into their unions, laying a basis for the establishment of one solid workers’ union in the packinghouse industry. C. P. Candidate Talks At Columbus Meeting COLUMBU , Ohio, Oct. 3.— Janie Langston, Negro Clevland housewife who is running for Lieu- tenant-Governor on the Commu- nist Party ticket, was one of the speakers at the celebration of the 15th Anniversary of the Commu- nist Party held here several days ago.

At door, 40c. te on Anti-War Program Reliet Denied | Mine Strikers! ToCrushUnion Inquiry Shows Connec- tion Between Operators and Relief WAYNESBURG, Pa., Oct. 3—Of- ficials of the Greene County Relief Board which was dissolved Sept. 1, today stood convicted on their own testimony of the charges hurled by blacklisted United Mine Workers of that region, that denial of relief was used as a weapon to beat strikers back into the mines at | Starvation wages. Board Chairman James Isher- wood, state commander of the American Legion, declared openly during his testimony that “at all | times we felt we were giving ade- quate relief to the miners,” and admitted this “adequate relief” to be $3.60 per week for a family of 12-42 cents per day per person. Isherwood denied that he would have granted more than this amount even if allowed by the State. Other relief officials testified that most of the miners in that region must exist on relief allotments de- spite employment in the mines, en- tire pays being deducted by the companies for back rent. Miners and their families living in Bobtown literally starved for 12 days following the closing of a Jones and Laughlin-owned mine there before any relief was forthcoming. The whole hearing on relief admin- | istration has established the direct link between coal operators and re- | lief boards in the mining regions. Jobless Fight Relief Slash | In Ann Arbor ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 3—Two hundred and fifty relief workers met here last week at a mass meet- ing called by the Washtenaw County Unemployment Councils to plan a figh against the county-wide stop- page of relief work. By the clos- ing down of the relief jobs every man in the county has been laid off the projects. This has meant a 20 to 30 per cent cut in the relief budgets. A committee of 14, including Ne- gro and women workers from Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Manchester and Chelsea, presented relief demands to the Welfare Commission. These de- mands call for cash relief and work; no budget cuts; a 20 per cent increase in all budgets. Local officials of the A. F. of L. met the workers’ appeal for united action by stating they would fight against any action. Rank and file . F. of L. workers, answering the appeal, joined with the unemployed. The International Hod Carriers Brotherhood and the Common La-| bor Local 535, both A. F. of L. unions, have issued an appeal in common with the Unemployment Councils for all workers to join in the fight for increased cash relief. United action between the unem- ployed and individual members of the A. F. of L. last July raised all velief budgets and hourly wages and won recognition of a workers’ “Bud- get Review Board.” As a result, about 350 workers joined the Un- employment Councils. Strike Heads To Give First-Hand Accounts of Great Textile Fight NEW YORK—Three rank and file leaders and two writers will give first hand accounts of the great national textile strike at a sym- Posium under the title of “We Saw the Textile Strike,” in Irving Plaza Hall, 15th Street and Irving Place on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The speakers will be Ann Burlak, secretary of the National Textile Workers Union, Wirt Taylor, rank and file organizer in the United Textile Workers Union, Walter Petras, Pawtucket strike leader, Myra Page, novelist and author of a study of workers’ life in southern textile mill towns, and Carl Reeve, staff writer who covered the strike for the Daily Worker in the New England area. Allan Taub will pre- side. The meeting is being arranged under the auspices of the National Committee for the Defense of Pol- itical Prisoners and the Committee for the Support of Southern Textile Organizations, A. F. L. Rank and File Call Philadelphia Rally To Draw Up Resolution PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 3.— The rank and file opposition with- in the A. F. of L. has called a mass meeting for 8 o'clock Saturday evening at the Ke Labor Lyceum, at Second and Cambria Streets. All A. F. of L. workers are urged to come to this meeting to help formulate a resolution to be sent to the National Convention of the A. F. of L. which will express the sentiment of the rank and file on the issues confronting workers today. Moser and Burge, of the Hosiery Workers’ Union, Leonard, of the Carpenters Union, and other rank and file leaders will speak. The Daily Worker can Better Aid Your Struggles if You Build its Circulation, and Evictions, PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 3.—The Unemployment Councils of Al- legheny County are answering the attacks of the industrialists against unemployed workers that resulted Monday in the imprisonment of Phil Frankfeld, militant leader of the Unemployment Councils, with an intensified mass protest cam- paign to secure his release and that of James Egan and the Ambridge frame-up victims, all of whom were railroaded to prison for their ac- tivities in the forefront of the class struggle. Monday afternoon the jail doors swung to on Frankfeld as he be- gan a two to four-year term in Blawnox workhouse with fist raised in farewell salute to the workers who had assembled to bid him good by, his final word of parting the slogan, “Red Front!” The sen- tence imposed by Pennsylvania's steel-owned courts was the final result of a successfully halted fore- closure sale in Patton Township last September, when Frankfeld addressed the assembled workers. “Inciting to riot” and “obstructing legal process” were the frame-up charges. The demand for the release of class war prisoners was raised in Pittsburgh City Council Wednesday afternoon along with other de- mands of the Unemployment Coun- cils, in a hearing granted through the mass pressure brought to bear on the city administration. But though prison bars prevented Frankfeld’s further participation in Frankfeld Starts Serving Long Term | Pittsburgh Unemployment Councils Redouble | Fight for Freedom of Prisoners, Against Terror and for Relief active struggle, the Unemployment Council carried on. On Monday a letter was presented to the Al- legheny County Emergency Relief Board, demanding an impartial in- vestigation of charges made by Clairton’s Mayor, Ostermayer, that the Unemployment Council there is “racketeering” on relief orders by “extorting” money from local mer- chants. The letter repudiated the steel- puppet Ostermayer’s ridiculous charges and requested an investiga- tion by the Board; an open hearing of all testimony before representa- tives of the Board, the Unemploy- ment Councils, the press and the Mayor; and the issuance of a state- ment to newspapers upon the find- ings of the hearing. It branded the Mayor’s attack as “unfounded and slanderous.” At the City Council meeting speakers will protest against the wholesale evictions which deputy sheriffs and city police are at- tempting to carry out, and against the fascist terror being launched by “Hill” police which resulted in the jailing of two members of the Young Communist League for five days each for requesting a meeting permit. A mass mobilization of workers will attend the Council hearing. Bill Doyle, newly elected County Unemployed Council organizer, will give the main report, protesting against evictions, use of con- demned houses, and inadequate re- | lief standards. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Oct. 3— Four resolutions calling for a fight for the demands of young workers are to be introduced into the Amer- ican Federation of Labor National Convention here by militant rank and file delegates, These resolutions call for youth sections and youth meetings in all trade unions, for an effective fight against child labor and for voca- tional training under workers’ con- trol; increased wages for appren- tices; and for a drive to organize the youth, with lower dues and ini- tiation fees. The resolutions follow in full: RESOLUTION ON PROBLEMS OF YOUTH IN UNIONS Whereas: The various unions of the American Federation of Labor number, among others, tens of thousands of youth; and Whereas: At the present time these youth do not constitute an active, integral part of the unions; and Whereas: This is directly traceable to the fact that the young people are ex- cluded from the administrative affairs of the unions, from the various meetings and committee bodies, and actually have no voice directly or on a representative basis in the conduct of the activities and or- ganization of the unions; and Whereas: No organizational steps have been taken by any union to achieve the regular and necessary association of young people in defense of their interests and the interests of organized labor as @ whole; Therefore be it resolved that this con- vention goes on record instructing its Various unions to carry through the fol- lowing: 1. Calling of meeting of youth in every union in the A. F. of L. directly following the convention; for the purpose of dis- cussing and acting on the problems of the young people. 2. That these meetings be held once a month and constitute the youth sections of the respective unions. 3. ‘That social, sports, and cultural ac- tivities be conducted within the union with a view towards further attracting and interesting the young people in the unions. RESOLUTION ON THE ORGANI- ZION OF THE YOUTH Whereas: The present time witnesses the presence of hundreds of thousands of young boys and girls in almost every in- dustry in the country, and Whereag: An ever greater number of ae are being recruited into industry, ani Whereas: The overwhelming majority of these youth are as yet unorganized and because of that these boys and girls are compelled to accept the wage dictates of the employers, and are discriminated against in most of the wage specifications in N.R.A. codes, thereby threatening the existing wage scales, and RESOLUTIONS CITE DEMANDS OF YOUTH AT AFL CONVENTION Whereas: These youth play an impor- tant part in the industrial arena, par- ticularly during strikes, and Whereas: These youth, if permitted to remain unorganized, will constitute » great reserve for the company unions, be it thetefore Resolved: That this 64th Convention of the A. F. of L. authorities and instruct the various International and Federal Unions to launch @ special drive to or- ganize the youth in their respective in- dustries, and be it further Resolved: That all efforts shall be made | to lower initiation fees and dues for said youth in accordance with wages they re- ceive. RESOLUTION ON APPRENTICE- SHIP Whereas: The apprenticeship periods re- quired in almost all unions are much longer than really necessary in order that one may master a specific craft, and Whereas: Due to such long periods an- apprentice does the work of a journey- man at the apprentices’ wages, and Whereag: Said practices constitute dis- crimination against the youth in the la- bor movement, and are a source of cheap labor supply that tends to undermine la- bor's wage standards, be it therefore Resolved: That this 54th Convention of the A. F. of L. goes on record in favor of reducing the terms of apprenticeship from 25 to 50 per cent, based on the require- ments of various trades, and be it further Resolved: That this convention goes on record in favor of graduated percentage wage increase based on the journeymen’s scale, with the starting scale for appren- tices being no less than 50 per cent of the journeymen’s scale, RESOLUTION ON CHILD LABOR Whereas: The economic plight of the workers and farmers of this country has brought about the entrance of thousands of children into industry; and Whereas: The hours these children are forced to work are far in excess of their actual strength and ability, and the wages they receive are far below the scales, and offer a direct threat to the living stand- ards of organized labor as a whole; and Whereas: The Roosevelt Administration, through its N.R.A. codes, has not im- proved the status of children, resulting merely in displacing some of these chil- dren from industry without adequate pro- vision for their welfare; and Whereas: By virtue thereof, and the need of some means of subsistence on the part of these children, child-labor continues under even worse conditions (home-work, bootlegging of children into shops, etc.), and Whereas: This situation is depriving the children of this country ‘of the right which is theirs, namely, to a normal, healthy development; Therefore Be It Resolved: ‘That this Convention declares itself for: 1, Abolition of child labor under 16, with government maintenance for children displaced from industry, agriculture or street trades at no less than $3 per week. 2. Vocational training on a graduated scale for youth between the age of 16 and 18 at the expense of the employers and governmnt. This training to be under workers’ control, with all youth receiving full wages for the type of work performed. Metal Bed Workers Win Strike of Eight Weeks NEW YORK.—After an eight- week strike under the leadership of the Furniture Workers’ Industrial Union the main shops of the metal bed industry have agreed to settle on the basis of union recognition, reduction of hours from 44 to 40 and wage increases ranging from 5 to 30 per cent. Meanwhile, five shops of the Featherman chain remain on strike. Workers in the settled shops are contributing 10 per cent of their wages for strike relief to those who are still out. ae: NEW HAVEN, Oct. 3.—The strike of the Diamond Parlor Furniture Co. of 151 East St., led by the Fur- niture Workers’ Industrial Union, which resulied in the arrest of seven workers in frame-up charges | two days ago, came to an end Sept. 28, when the boss, Samuel Cohen, acceded to the demands of the strikers, Solicit Subs for the “Daily” Slanders by Schuyler Bring Flood of Protests NEW YORK.—The treachery of George Schuyler, Pittsburgh Courier columnist, in the case of Angelo Herndon, has aroused a flood of protest all over the country. Samuel A. Robinson, of Boston, Mass,, wrote to the Courier demand- ing Schuyler’s dismissal. A framed Negro prisoner in Mar- quette, Mich., wrote to Robinson: “I have followed the Herndon case | from the beginning — including his birth and early childhood as told in the New Masses—and I hold the highest respect for Mr. Herndon, and am convinced that Schuyler’s prediction (that Herndon will skip bail) is erroneous. In spite of the terrible persecution that Mr. Hern- | don has suffered while he stayed in the South, he remained true as steel to his race and noble cause. There- fore, there is no logical reason to believe that he will let down his many friends that came to his rescue during his time of trouble. Schuyler’s article was not only against Mr. Herndon, but against the Negro race.” Loaders Raise Anti-Red Drive At Rail Parley Maintenance Heads Use Steam-Roller Against Militant Proposals DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 3.—Threat- jened with a rebellion of rank and |file delegates, President Fijozdel and his lackeys engineered 9 “red jscare” in the twenty-fifth regular |international convention of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way held recently in the Book-Cadillac Hotel. Every rank and file proposal for militant action, and those lodges |that submitted amendments to the constitution, were denounced as “communistic.” Groups of the Railroad Brother- |hoods Unity Movement presented a program of action for better wages and working conditions. against part time work, and organizational pro- posals intended to put the organiza- tion on a fighting basis. These pro- | posals received serious consideration from rank and file delegates. Lodges throughout the country began wiring their delegates and the convention | for adoption of the program. | An amendment to the constitu- | tion to expel and bar Communists |from membership was voted down, | but was reconsidered and passed on | the appeal of Secretary Milliman, | who begged the delegates to pass | |the amendment in order to save his |face, for he had already given a statement to the capitalist press the day previous stating that Commu- nists were ruled out of the Brother- hood. | There was not one Negro delegate present at the convention, although there are hundreds of thousands of Negro workers employed on the track gangs and as shop laborers Having steam-rollered the con- vention, the arch-fakers, who re- ceive high salaries taken from the |meager pay of track workers, in- |creased the Grand Lodge dues for |unemployed members to six dollars per year more than the employed, and went on record to continue their |past fake campaign for legislation to secure the six-hour day without reduction in pay and the wage- cutting arbitration policies that have already reduced the trackmen and their families to the point of starvation, The convention lasted only one week, instead of the three weeks scheduled, having been cut short ‘when the rank and file at home | began to pour demands in upon the Grand Lodge fakers. Texas Slashes State Relief Appropriation AUSTIN, Tex., Oct. 1—After a one-month session, the Texas State Legislature adjourned here last week hurriedly, voting an inadequate ap- propriation for Winter relief. The original relief bill called for the ex- penditure of $9,500,000, but this was cut to $6,000,000 by the House of Representatives. Passage of the bill in its final form was delayed un- til the session was about to ad- journ in order to circumvent or- ganized protest by the jobless. With approximately 1,500,000 per- sons in need of relief in Texas, the sum appropriated will amount to about $4 per person for the entire Winter. Even at the present rate of expenditure, about $3,000,000 a month is spent for relief, which barely keeps the unemployed from starving. The new appropriation cuts this figure in half, although destitution and unemployment are increasing at a staggering rate. In Some rural counties practically the entire population is on the relief lists due in part to the drought. The State Board of Control has been given supreme control over the relief program. Moreover, it has been instructed by the legislature to take steps leading to the total aboli- tion of State relief.

The Small Home Owners Relief Bill proe vides for a moratorium on foree closures. Call On 104 A. F. L. Locals The Provisional Committee meet- ing in Buffalo issued calls for the march to 104 locals of the A. F. of L., to the Central Trades and Labor Council and to the City Central Committee of the Socialist Party. A conference held last week, at which George Brickner, member of the Riverside Socialist Party Branch, was elected permanent chairman of the committee, showed that hundreds of marchers will rep- resent the up-state unemployed in the march to Albany. Forty dele- gates have already been elected by the workers of Rochester. Ontario and Seneca counties have pledged to send 20 delegates each on the march, The East Side local of the Buffalo Council is preparing to send 15 delegates, the Riverside local 5. Jamestown is preparing to send scores of delegates. Unemployed marine workers in the Erie County Lodging House and the Waterfront Council are massing their forces to send 30 delegates. Wide Support Prepared. Widest possible support is being mobilized for the march. Unem- ployed workers are collecting food and contributions for financing the delegates from small business men, housewives, and at the factory gates, While the Democratic Party con- vention was in session here last week, 300 homeless men marched to | the convention hall to place their demands before Gov. Lehman, who evaded their delegates. Calling at the Hotel Statler at which Lehman was lodged, a committee of the homeless men demanded that he act on the workers’ demands and also provide food, lodging and trans- portation to the delegates on the hunger march, Sell “Daily” at Factories TONIGHT 8:30 P.M.
