Poe STRIKE DEMANDS Seamen! | Longshoremen! The Daily Worker urges all seamen and longshoremen to write about all developments connected with the approaching strike, the sentiments among their fellow workers, actions to establish one united strike front of seamen and longshoremen along the entire Atlantic and Gulf Coast, and so to prevent any sell-out or arbitration scheme of the International Seamen’s Union leaders. Write about everything that you dis- cuss with your fellow workers. This will make it possible for us to help in organizing and win- ning your struggle. Before and during the strike first consideration in the pub- lication of news and corre- spondance will be given to the marine strike. C af et eria PicketLine | Unbroken By a Worker Correspondent BROOKLYN, N. Y.—In the Para- mount Cafeteria, 909 Bushwick ave- nue, near the Grant Street station (B.M.T.), a strike is going on under the leadership of Local 123 of the Food Workers Industrial Union. The bosses, after four days of picketing, during which they tried to break the picket line and arrest the strik- ers through provocation, used misled workers to attack us and hit us when we protested. They attacked the representatives of our union, M. Savides and Zampas. In defense, several workers of the neighbor- hood and passersby mingled in the fight and took up our defense. Even from the passing street cars voices of protest were heard. “Hit the Scabs.” The police refused to ar- rest the provocateurs. Although this provocation was well prepared in advance, we were able to hold our own because of the support given us by the neigh- borhood. We were congratulated by everyone for our union. We are determined to fight until we win We ought to make an example of this.

One of these which I noticed a neighbor of mine reading is called The Star Shirts, a weekly, printed in Philadelphia, and distributed among the Italians, which contains a few articles in English for the American born English speaking Italians. The rest is in Italian. I live in this Italian neighbor- | hood in Philadelphia, and from |what I gather, these fascists are very busy with their organizational activities and their press. But what jabout the revolutionary working class movement? Why isn’t the L'Unita Operaia popular in this thickly populated Tialian working class neighborhood? I think that at this time when the drive for 20,000 new English readers of the Daily Worker goes on, the Italian revolutionary paper, the L’Unita Operaia, should not be forgotten. The ruling class is trying hard to win the foreign born workers and to use them in their war against | their working class brothers. There- fore we ought to make every ef- fort to win not only the American born and Negro workers, but also the foreign born workers for our common struggle against our op- }pressors, for higher wages, for un- A NEGRO WOMAN WORKER Price-Fixing On 174th St..and 180th St., Bronx, | bitter consumers’ strikes are on for | lower prices on bread, against the high cost of living in general.

Defeatist Talks Split Cork Strike (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—The strike of the workers of the L. Mundet and Son Cork Co. which was conducted militantly for five weeks, was dis- gracefully broken through the ac- tions of some misleaders. These miserable creatures persuaded the executive board to send a delega- tion to the office to inquire what the firm’s intentions were. about demands. Reporting back to the strike meeting, they split the ranks of the workers by persuading the weaker elements to vote to end the strike. They said that “You all will lose your jobs; feel in your pocket and see what you got there. Then be a good sport and the boss w!ll treat you right. There will be no discrimina- tion.” The vote was 126 against going back and 180 for ending the strike. Out of about 300 workers, ap- proximately 120 to 130 were taken back. Many were discriminated against. Workers! Keep your union and stage a comeback with a punch. Beware of those misleaders who side with the boss. Colore d Dust Health Menace In Waste Shop By a Worker Correspondent | CLAREMONT, N. H.—Claremont Waste Manufacturing Co. owned by Stinefield Bros. makers of a “flock,” a fine material used in the manufacture of raincoats, auto tires and many other uses, have suc- ceeded by promises and threats to get most of the workers back to work. They report a profit of one-half million in 1933. It is a very small raill of about 10 men working at the present time for weekly wages from $15 up to $18. In some parts of the factory the colored dust is so bad it is hard to get one’s breath. The dye depart- ment is so wet, the workers have wet feet and clothes to work in. In other paris, in the dryer, the heet_is stifling. The workers call the Waste Manufacturing Co. the Claremont sweat shop, As this ts one of two mills of its kind in the world, they can de- mand and get $1.25 per pound for the finished preduct. The cost to make this is less than 10 cents. In other words, they make these huge profits out of the blood of the workers, AGED FLORIDA COUPLE DENIED MEDICAL CARE By a Worker Correspondent INGLIS, Fla—An aged white coupie, Mr. and Mrs. Dixon, 75 and 73 years old, living in this place, was denied medical attention by the F.E.R.A., when the woman was sick in bed with malaria fever, Investigation revealed the fact an early reply. F. McC., Unemployed Worker. that this couple was receiving $3 per month By MAX October 1 marked the opening of the 1934 membership drive of our International Workers Order. The object of the drive is to secure the growth of the Order to 75,000 mem- bers by fhe next convention in May, 1935. To this end the second Six Months Plan of Work of the Order provided for the inclusion into the Order of 25,000 new members. Since July 1, 4,500 new members were taken in without a campaign. That leaves about 20,000 more to be re- cruited during the rest of the year. To recruit these new members is the task of the membership drive between October 1 and December 15, Political Issue of the Campaign The drive for new members is based on a mass campaign for social insurance. This campaign will par- ticularly center on the support of H. R. Bill 7598. An organized ef- fort will be made by all sections of the Order to mobilize masses of workers in the bourgeois fraternal organizations for active support of Unemployment and _ Social In- surance Bill (H. R. 7598). These efforts will bring the International Workers Order to the attention of the toiling masses of America as a fighter for working class interests. That will fix the International Workres Order in the minds of these workers as worthy of their mem- bership. That is why the campaign for social insurance is such an impor- tant part of our membership cam- paign in the next three months, All language sections will plan this campaign. All city Central and District Committees will check up on the activities of the branches and members in this campaign. The greater the mass movement of fra- ternal organizations we can organize in support of Social and Unem- ployment Insurance Bill 7598, the more successful will be our mem- bership drive. Socialist Competition For the drive to build the Order, prizes have been set aside by the National Executive Committee. These prizes are utilized in some instances by the districts to stim- ulate socialist competition. The District Committees on their part are offering prizes contingent on the achievement of the quota by the district. The general purpose of the prizes is to stimulate the estab- lishment of I.W.O. workers centers. Of course, these prizes are not the only spur for the drive. Our mem- bership realizes full well that the 1.W.O. is a most valuable defender of workers’ interests. They know that the value of the Order as a de- fender of workers’ interests in- creases in the degree in which the membership grows. They know, therefore, that every effort they make to increase the membership will increase the value of the Order for themselves. That is why the comrades every- where are enthusiastic in their preparations for the campaign. They organize for socialist competition. The Akron city organization of the I.W.O., for example, challenged the Canton City organization that it will complete and go over its quota before Canton. The loser is pledged to pay a contribution of $25 to the Daily Worker. The Jewish Section of Cleveland has challenged the Jewish Section of Detroit that it will complete its quota before the end of the month of October and that its work dur- ing November and December will to be exceed the quota as much as possible. The challenge, which was accepted, provides that the loser present a banner to the winner. Other challenges have been re- ported. We will bring the news of the progress of these challenges from time to time in these columns. Immediate Action Required The success of the campaign de- pends on the energy applied in the first weeks. Lost weeks cannot be made up. We must achieve’ a I.W.O. Centers on Campaign for Unemployment Insurance Drive to Popularize Bill Is Basis of Order's Program to Win 25,000 New Members BEDACHT weekly average of 1,500 new mem- bers if we are to accomplish our aim. Should we stay under this average in the beginning of the campaign, we will run up a handicap impossible to overcome at the end, If instead we make a good be- ginning, we will not only reach our goal but better it in the end. We expect that this campaign will make the English Section of the I.W.O. the second largest in the Order. We realize that the Inter- national Workers Order will not be able to really challenge bourgeois leadership and bourgeois influences among the workers in the fraternal movement if it will not bring the masses of American workers into its ranks. That is why special em- phasis is laid in this campaign on the building of a solid foundation for an English section. Attention to the building of the | English section requires first of all attnteion to building the Youth Sec- tion. The Youth Section is much too weak to be of real account. We must recognize this weakness not merely as a weakness of the sec- tion, but a weakness of the Order as a whole. Just now our attention is centered on the growing danger of fascism; tt is centered on the approach of a new war. We are enemies of fas- cism. We want to defeat it. We want to defeat it before it is vic- torious. We are opposed to a cap- italist war. We want to defeat it too, and we want to defeat it be- fore it becomes a reality. How can we do that without pay- ing special attention to the youth? The young workers will be the first recruits and victims of imperialist war. Out of the ranks of the young workers capitalism will try to recruit its fascist storm troops. Struggle Against War and Fascism Requires Action ‘We may pass all the resolutions against war and fascism we want. ‘We may express our hatred of war and our opposition and hatred against fascism in the strongest terms. But all this means very little if we do not at the same time mobilize and organize the youth against war and fascism. If we will not mobilize the youth into our ranks, under our leadership, we leave it to the enemy to organize into their ranks and under their leadership. The enemy will or- ganize it. The enemy does know the importance of youth for its struggle. Let us realize this im- portance too. Let us lay hand on the building of the structure of the Youth Section of our Order into a formidable force. Unemployment Grows In Akron Factories By a Worker Correspondent AKRON, Ohio.—The relief. di- rector of Summit County, George Missig, has made known to the public that the ‘relief’ applications list, are growing at an enormous rate, with over 50,000 persons on relief at the present time. The cost of direct and work re- lief averaged over $350,000 for the past two months, (this per month) and 50 families are being added to the relief lists every day, Missig stated.
