Locals in Four Cities Reject Green’s Expulsion Drive UNION DELEGATES MEET IN NEWARK; REPUDIATE EDICT Delegation to ‘Greet Communist Party at 15th Anniversary Rally Will Be Sent by A. F. of L. Local Which Rejected Green’s Proposal NEWARK, N. J., Oct. 8—The Essex County Trades Council, composed of delegates of trade unions of Newark and vicinity, decided after a heated discussion at its meet- ing last Friday, to reject the request for the expulsion of all Communists from affiliated unions, received in a letter from William Green, president of® the American Federation of Labor. “Green is trying to protect his job by attacking Communists,” stated one of the delegates in the dis- cussion. Another delegate, condemning the expulsion request, called Green “the worst reactionary in the labor movement.” Some delegates pointed out that the application of this Tequest would be equivalent to a conscious effort to help the bosses in further lowering the standard of living of the American workers. Local 777 of the Brotherhood of Painters, Paperhangers and Deco- rators, Newark, has rejected a sim- ilar letter from Green and de- cided to send a delegation to greet the Communist Party at its Fif- teenth Anniversary Celebration. At a meeting of the Hod Carriers Local 699 of Newark on Sept. 28, Green’s red-baiting communication was read and rejected. Charles Wilson, an old member of the union, took the floor and pointed out that by this fight on the Communists, Green is attempting to cover up his betrayals of the interests of the workers, as shown in the San Fran- cisco marine workers strike and in the recent textile strike. Those who Participated in the discussion Pointed out that the A. F. of L. does nothing for its members, espe- cially does it do nothing for the unemployed, except expelling them from the organization. The com- nyunication was then rejected by the local: DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 5.—Paint- ers Local 37 (A, F. of L.) at its last meeting condemned President Green’s letter calling for expulsion of Communists and militant work- ers from the unions. Local 37 unan- imously passed a motion to write Green a strong letter, condemning his “anti-union” stand and re- jecting his letter. Local 42 of the painters took similar action against Green’s letter. Green’s Letter Filed PATERSON, N. J., Oct. 8—The International Typographical Union local here, at its last meeting, voted to file Green's letter against the Communists, Bricklayers Table Letter NEW YORK.—Local union 39 of the Brotherhood of Bricklayers, Masons, Tile Setters and Plasterers voted down Green’s anti-Commu- nist letter and passed a motion to table it. 1,200 Hear Herndon Talk In Cincinnati CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 8.—Over 1,200 persons, Negro and white, filled the Stowe School auditorium here Thursday night to welcome Angelo Herndon, hero of the At- Janta, Georgia, “insurrection” trial, and now out on bail pending ap- peal from a sentence of eighteen to twenty years on the chain gang. The hall was packed to capacity at 7:20 p.m., and many were unable to gain admittance. Herndon told of his work among Atlanta white and Negro unem- ployed workers and his arrest, prosecution and torture in jail. Richard B. Moore outlined the his- tory of the frame-up of Herndon and the Scottsboro boys, and the whole system of Negro oppression in the United States. He called for the building of the International Labor Defense into a mighty weapon in the struggles of the Ne- gro and white toilers. Seventy- seven persons joined the I, L. D. Three hundred pamphlets were | sold and $57 collected in eash and $24 in pledges for the Scottsboro Herndon defense. Among other speakers were Rob- ert Gunkle for the Communist Party, Butcher for the Unemployed Council, Miss Franklin for the Pen and Hammer. The splendid unity of Negro and white workers in the mass wel- come to Herndon and militant sup- port of the Scottsboro-Herndon campaign evoked the rage of the local boss press, which came out with pro‘ests from the Reserve Of- ficers’ Association chapter against the use of the Stowe School for a meeting to “welcome the Negro Communist, Angelo Herndon.” ‘The success of the Daily Worker $60,000 drive means a better, larger newspaper.

The docks are occupied by the Morgan Steamship line, a company which operates only with non-union long- shoremen. This “dynamite plot,” played up in the headlines of the three lead- ing newspapers of Houston, was the signal for the raising of the “red seare” and a drive of terror against the waterfront workers by the city Police, who during the longshore- men’s strike worked hand in hand with the steamship companies’ of- ficials and hired thugs. Nine seamen were arrested, seven of them being members of the I. W. W. and two members of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. Some of these workers were beaten and ali were threatened and in- timidated although never formally charged with the “attempted” dy- namiiting. Police also threatened to close the M.W.I.U. hall. An immediate search was also made by the police among the tinned foods at the relief head- quarters for more “dynamite set- ups.” This action was aimed against the Unemployment Coun- cils here, now having a member- ship of over 500 signed-up mem- bers. A group of workers, called to- gether by the I. L. D., Harrisburg Branch of Houston, met in protest against this frame-up and terror- izing of the waterfront workers, and issued a statement to the mayor (himself an expert strike-breaker), and the City Council, exposing the lies of the press and the steamship company. Canada Labor Defense Plans Wide Campaign to Release Tim Buck TORONTO, Ont., (By Mail).— Meeting on the eve of great strike struggles and increased terror and in a period in which attacks on the Canadian workers are rising stead- ily, the enlarged National Execu- tive Committee of the Canadian Labor Defense League has just com- pleted its two days’ sessions in this city. About 80 leaders of the de- fense struggles from eight of the ten districts were in attendance. The high point of the plenum was the release and arrival of Tom Ewen, who was suddenly and quiet- ly let out of Kingston Penitentiary by the government in an effort to stave off the indignation of tens of. thousands of workers which will be raised tomorrow when mass meetings will be held from coast. to coast to demand the release of Tim Buck, secretary of the Communist Party of Canada, who still remains in the Penitentiary. A national delegation, was elected from the floor of the plenary sessions to go to Ottawa with this demands dur- ing the week. Forty Workers Strike in Cold Storage Plant of Atlantic Fisheries PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Oct. 8. —Forty cold storage workers here are striking for wage increases while company officials are unsuc- cessfully trying to recruit scabs to revlace them. Workers at the Colonial plant of the Atlantic Coast Fisheries re- fused to start in work after their demands for 37’ cents an hour for packers and laborers and $1.25 per hundredweight for skinners had been refused them by Frank Rowe, superintendent of the two company plants, Jesse D. Rogers, selectman in charge of relief, has advised unem- ployed fishermen, applying to him for work on the E. R. A. project, to seek jobs at the Colonial. Instead of trying to scab the ‘fishermen re- ported their advice from Rogers to the strikers. Leader to Get New Trial Reversal oh Combition Won for John Rose By the LL.D. DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 8—The International Labor Defense has won an outstanding victory in the | decision of the State Supreme Court reversing the conviction of John Rose, militant farm leader and Communist candidate for Secretary of State, and granting him a new trial. Rose was convicted last Septem- | |ber on a charge of assault with in- tent to commit great bodily harm, for having participated in a dem- onstration against a farm fore- closure in White Cloud, Mich., on Mar. 15, 1933. He was sentenced to from six months to five years in the state prison at Jackson, but after serving a short time, was released on bond. Rose was originally arrested to- gether with two other leaders of the Michigan Farmers League, Clyde Smith and George Casper, all three being charged with criminal syn- dicalism, As a result of the activity of the I. L. D., the charges against Smith and Casper were finally dropped, while that against Rose was changed to assault, the “dan- gerous weapon” he was alleged to} haye carried in the demonstration having been a chain. Rose was defended by the I. L. D. attorneys, Maurice Sugar and John Safran. The date for the new trial has not yet been set. Co-Ordination Bureau Set Up on West Coast LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8—To Eli- minate conflicts in dates for im- portant events arranged by work- ing class organizations in Los An- geles, the Communist Party has es- tablished a co-ordination bureau. All organizations who are a part of | the left wing movement are re- quested to submit their plans for affairs to the committee before any publicity is issued. Through the committee it will be possible to eliminate conflicting affairs and in- sure greater successes morally and financially. The co-ordination bureau will! meet every Tuesday in the Cultural! Center, 230 S. Spring St. Plans for all affairs should be submitted dur- ing the week prior to the meetings. | For Strike-Breaking, Acting In Federal Housing Office U. S. Employment Man Recruits Stool-Pigeons from Applicants for Work in Chicago (Daily Worker Midwest Bureau) CHICAGO, Oct. 8—An attempt to recruit anti-labor stool pigeons was made in the offices of the Fed- eral Housing Administration in Chi- cago recently by a Mr. Henderson, acting in the capacity of inter- viewer of persons seeking work with the F. H. A. Proof of this fact is contained in @ statement to the Daily Worker by an applicant for an F. H. A. job, from which statement the follow- ing facts are taken: Mr. Henderson several weeks ago interviewed this applicant. The man stated his qualifications, ex- perience, etc. Henderson promptly told him there was little or no op- portunity for a job of the kind the applicant wanted. Then he hinted that he might be able to offer an- other kind of job. On questioning by the applicant, Henderson stated he had formerly been connected with the Hargrave Secret Service, which is a large pri- vate detective organization with of- fices at 145 N. Clark St., Chicago. He said that because of the large demand by industrial and business firms for under-cover men, he was thinking of returning to Hargrave as the hirer of new personnel. He told the applicant that chances of employment were good and that with Henderson’s influence behind him, he should also be able to find a job as spy without trouble. This stool-herder then outlined the Arion tactics used by the un- jder-cover men that work out of Hargrave’s office. A factory owner, | who gets word that his workers are| beginning to organize, goes through | the regular routine of “hiring” one | of Hargrave’s men in the usual way and puts him to work in the fac-| tory, as an ordinary employe. This man has two jobs. He tries his best to find out the names of all workers helping the work of or- ganizing, and also those who belong to radical organizations or groups, or who are sympathetic to them. The spy also, in most cases, tries | to hamper the building of an or-| ganization. If he fails, however, it is his job to join the union and place him- self in a position to get all infor- mation possible. The stool makes a daily report to his superiors and receives from them new instructions. This entire interview took place in the offices of the Federal Hous- ing Administration at 134 N. La Salle St, Chicago, on time for which Mr. Henderson was paid by the U. S. government. Whether because he found he could recruit spies while working for the government, or for any} other reason, Henderson has not} yet officially gone back to Har-| Srave’s. He has been transferred to another job within the F. H. A, and is now in charge of the de- partment which handles photo- graphs and motion pictures for a | West Side housing project. His of- fice is Room 1800, 134 N. La Salle St. ‘Los Angeles Red Squad) Attacks Fur Strikers; Organizer Badly Beaten LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8—The Red | |Squad made a vicious attack on a fur workers’ strike demonstration here at Seventh and Hill Sts., bru- tally clubbing and slugging many, including women. Frank Brown- stein, organizer of the Fur Work- ers Industrial Union, was arrested. Brownstein was badly injured by police clubs. The employer In the struck shop, Dieterich, is believed to have insti- gated the Police attack on the picket line. Dieterich’s shop is the only one refusing to negotiate. The rest of the wholesale fur trade has contractural relations with the Fur Workers Industrial Union. 600 Hear Herndon at Columbus Meeting COLUMBUS, Ohio., Oct. 8.— ‘Thursday night to greet heroic Angelo Herndon, Mrs. Ida Norris, Scottsboro Mother, and Richard B. Moore, National Field Organizer of |the International Labor Defense. The audience responded with en- thusiasm to the call of the speakers | to strengthen the mass fight for the freedom of Herndon, the Scottsboro boys, Tom Mooney and Ernst Thaelmann. A large amount of literature was sold, and $60 raised for the Scottsboro-Herndon defense. Two campus organizations,’ the Inter-Racial Council of Ohio State University and the National Stu- |dents League contributed $1.50 and $1.55 respectively. |All Left of F EPIC Plan| Now Is Meant to Aid Big Business By David Ramsey It has become pretty obvious as the election campaign progresses that Upton Sinclair will repudiate what is still left of his Epic Plan before electfon day. He has broken his utopian promises in record- breaking time in order to curry favor with the Roosevelt regime and the old-line politicians of the McAdoo-Creel machine in Califor- nia. As soon as Mr. Sinclair won the | Democratic nomination for Goy- ernor he began to hold long and “friendly” conferences with Creel and other of his supposedly bitter enemies. And about a week after. his secret conference with Roose- velt, the N. ¥. Times reported that he had “agreed to a radical modifi- cation of his Epic Plan.” Sinclair must have assured Roosevelt of his loyaliy to the capitalist class, and in return he must have been given advice on the new concoction of demagogy he was to offer to the workers and farmers of California. Praised By Farley At the nominating convention Sinclair embraced every pollitician in sight and earned the approval of Roosevelt’s political lieutenant, Postmaster General Farley. To get this support Sinclair junked his own program on the grounds that Roosevelt was going to carry it through in some distant future. What remained of Sinclair's false pledges can be gathered from Creel’s statement given to the N. Y. Times while enroute to Washing- ton, where he conferred with Roosevelt. Creel denied that the Democratic State platform in Cali- fornia was in any sense “an em- bodiment of Epic.” He said that “instead of being a Sinclair plat- form, our State platform is one upon which any Democrat can stand. In adopting it we threw out the Sinclair proposal to pay $50 a month to persons past 60 years of age. We also dropped his scrip plan, his plan for a $300,000,000 bond issue, his plan for farm communes and for State stores, his plan for exempting from taxation all prop- erty of less than $3,000 assessed valuation and his plan for repeal of the sales tax.” What is left of the Epic by now jis little more than a plan to help | big business. Unemployment relief | is to be cut even below its present inadequate level, and the unem- ployed are to be left to the tender mercies of a primitive system of | barter. Sinclair assures the capi- talists that by supporting him they will be able to save the money that is now being used for relief pur- poses, and put the burden on the unemployed themselves. Sinclair, to save his face, has an- nounced that his program has had to be modified because of constitu- tional barriers. He speaks of a “twilight zone of law” that forces him to use only “such procedure as | our people are used to and our courts have definitely sanctioned.” Capitalist “Self-Help” This means that Sinclair’s pipe- dream, when brought down to earth, is simply the system of barter and | self-help that the capitalists have been trying to sell to the workers since the start of the crisis. There will be no genuine relief for the workers in California, since Sinclair now says that social insurance will | have to wait until the further de- velopment of the new deal. What is in store for the workers of California if they allow them- selves to be taken in by Sinclair's barrage of false promises? He has come out for the so-called Ohio plan, which he now embraces as vigorously as his former love— Epic. In Ohio the unemployed are forced to toil to earn the large sum of $20 a month which they receive for relief. In addition, they can work extra hours and receive credit with which to obtain products manufactured at a few factories where other unemployed are work- ing at relief wages. Jobless Carry Burden Under this scheme the unem- ployed are forced to carry the whole burden of unemployment. Instead of adequate relief or unem- ployment insurance, they receive starvation relief wages and the privilege of slaving for a few bar- tered articles. This is a wonderful system for the capitalists. Relief is reduced to a sub-existence level. The un- employed must slave to obtain shoes or clothing for their fam- | ilies. The starvation standards of the unemployed become the stand- ards toward which the employed workers find themselves driven. And the owner of a bankrupt fac- tory receives a high rent from the federal government. Subsistence Colonies The Ohio plan, to which Sinclair now subscribes, is part of Roose- velt’s scheme to drive the unem- | | ployed to subsistence colonies, where | they will be insulated from the em- ployed workers. It is a shrewd | |employment on to the working class and use the misery of the un- employed as a club against s‘rikers and workers who fight for higher standards of living. Sinclair will do nothing for the unemployed. He will do nothing for |the poor farmer who will continue to have his farm forectosed by the | banks or sold for taxes by the state. |The small home owner has already heard Sinclair repudiate his prom- ise to exempt his house from taxes. Silent on Reign of Terror The employed worker has seen |Sinclair refuse to condemn the vicious reign of terror that was \launched against all militant work- ers, during the San Francisco | general strike. Sinclair has refused to commit himself on such a vital issue as discrimination against Negro, Filipino, Chinese and foreign born workers. He has refused to endorse the candidacy of the mili- tant fighter Leo Gallagher, for the Supreme Court. And at a time when the workers of this country are attacking the hunger policies of the New Deal, he has fully endorsed the Roosevelt regime. This means that he has endorsed the murder of all strikers who have been killed in defense of their right to picket, to strike and to organize. The huge vote that Sinclair re- ceived in the primary elections was the expression of the discontent of the toilers with the reactionary policies of Acting Governor Merriam, the servant of the financia] and in- dustrial interests. Many workers voted for him in the belief that a vote for him was a vote against the vigilante terror that was used against the general strike. Spokesman for New Deal In the light of Sinclair’s actions since his nomination, the workers of California should reconsider the matter. Sinclair has come out openly as the spokesman for the New Deal in California, the same Roosevelt deal that so savagely at- Nearly 600 persons turned out last | scheme to foist the burden of un- | As Piriiinient!| By Roosevelt! Plan Is Aunonnced in Letter to Fechner, Camp Director WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8.— Continuation of the C. C. C. Camps as a permanent addition to the functions of the Roosevelt govern- ment was expressed in a letter to Cc. C. C. Camp Director Robert Fechner by President Roosevelt yes- terday. Fechner, who has just completed a tour of 125 camps in the Western | area, and who last week submitted a@ yearly report on the camps to Roosevelt, urged the extension of | | the C. C. Cc. Fechner’s report on the activities | of the C. C. C. camps for the past | year stated that 611 youth in the | C. C. C. had died of accidents and disease during the one-year period from. April 6, 1933, to March 31, 1934. Of this total, 316 had died from accidents in the camps and 295 died from “disease.” The prin- cipal cause of the disease deaths, the report stated, was pneumonia, | which was brought about by the exposure and hardships suffered by the boys who are compelled to live in tents and rudely constructed shacks, The present enrollment of the C. C. C. is 370,000. In addition there are 18,000 foresters, 6,000 reserve army officers and 1,100 teachers, | 270 Camps In Southern Area pride ourselves that things in this area are in good shape,” reported Gen. George van Horne Moseley on the 27 C. C. C. camps in this area, | more than in any other corps area, to the Birmingham Chapter of the Reserve Officers’ Association of America. Gen. Moseley called attention to the fact that the 400,000 in C. C. Cc. camps throughout the country is more than was mobilized for the \Spanish-American War, pointing | out that it is one-half the youth that become 20 years of age each year. With 54,000 youths in the camps in this area alone, more duty to train them.

He is attempting to capitalize on the hatred that the masses have for Merriam. But his program, stripped | of its fantastic promises, is funda- mentally the same. It is designed to divert the leftward moving; masses into capitalist channels. Offers Workers Nothing Workers who vote for Sinclair in | preference to Merriam are voting | just as the capitalists want them to vote. They are voting for a man who will give them nothing, for a candidate who has betrayed his promises even before he was put in office. In contras’ to Sinclair's method of promising everything and giving nothing, the Communist Party in | California has worked out a pro-| gram that recognizes the immediate | needs of all the workers, farmers and small homeowners in the State. | It would increase wages 20 per cent | in order to meet the rising cost of | living. It would inaugurate a five | day week and a six hour day. It would end all taxes on homes valued would end all taxes on homes velued | at $3,000 or less. It would exempt | the poor farmer from taxes if his | income was below the average union | scale in his county. It would pro- vide unemployment and social in- surance in accordance with the) provisions the Workers Unemploy- | ment Insurance Bill, H. R. 7598. | The burden of the crisis would be | shifted to the rich. Endorsed by Labor Fakers To vote for Sinclair is to vote for | a man who has been endorsed by the labor fakers, by labor hating capitalists and by fascist dema-| gogues like Father Coughlin. It means a vote for vigilante terror. It means a vote for lower stand- ards of living. It means paving the way to fascism. To vote for Sam Darcy and the whole Communist slate means voting against hunger and the menace of fascism. It means voting for the only party that fights for every demand of the toilers of Cali- tacked the working class.
