< BAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1934 ~<¢ LOCAL MINE UNIONS ENDORSE RANK AND FILE U.M.W.A. SLAix N olker.) Wins Over Fagan In Bairdtord) Rank and File Score Gains in Russellton and Harmarville By TONY MINERICH PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. The nominations for the coming) election in District No. 5 of the United Mine Workers of America are now taking place. Already a few locals have nominated the can- didates of the rank and file slate. In the Curtisville No. 3 (Baird ford) Local, Charles Nolker, rank and file candidate for president, re- | ceived 295 votes, as against 10 for) P. T. Fagan. the present president and Lewis henchman, This gives Nolker the nomination bv a big majority. In the large Harmar- ville Local (No, 4426) the rank and file slate was adopted by a unani- mous vote. Not one of the mine was for the Lewis-Fagan machine. or at least none of them dared vote for them. In the Russellton Loca! (No. 3506) the rank and file slate also received the unanimous en- 17.—| PRS cc aailine To Present! (Jobless Demands to the City | of dorsement. In Russellton. some of the Lewis supporters tried to oust the local leadership and replace. them by Lewis supporters. This failed. The rank and file miners came to the meeting and supported their lead- ers. The vote to place the rank and file in nomination also shows that they are still in the fight. In the Renton Local (No, 1993) all of the rank and file slate was endorsed, except Ted Gall, candi- date for board member. A local miner, Zelenski, was endorsed. Steps are being taken to have him withdraw in favor of Ted Gall, so that the vote will not be split. Nominations Must Be in Nov. 1 Local Union No. 4439, located at Lowber, also endorsed the rank and file slate. The vote here was also unanimous. The fighting Ellsworth Local (No. 1109) also endorsed the slate by a unanimous vote. They also nominated a local fighter, Ste- phen Hart, Local No. 1109, whose address is Ellsworth, Pa. as a third candidate for district teller. The rank and file had only nomi- nated two teHers and decided to support Hart as the third candi- date for district teller. The Crescent Local, of the Pitts- burgh Coal Co. mine, endorsed the rank and file slate, and gave them the unanimous endorsement. Be- sides this local union, No. 1198. Cunningham, has endorsed the rank and file slate. The big Vesta No. 6 local of the Jones and Laughlin teel.. Corp, has cndorsed all. of the rank and file slate, except the candidate for beard member. I; wes also reported that the Mc- Fedridge Local has endorsed the slate and the local union. located at Lawrence, has endorsed Noiker and some more of the rank and file candidates. At Arnold City the local union nominated local members for all of the offices. It is believed that this was done to keep the rank and file from getting the nomination. The Iccal Lewis-Fagan supporters were afraid to nominate Fagan and the old machine, and rather than see the rank and file get the nomi- ration they nominated members of tho local union. Some more of the local unions have nominated candidates. Other locals will nominate this week and the coming weeks of this month. ‘THe nomination blanks must be in the district office by Nov. 1. This means that all supporters of the rank and file must get busy. 30,000 Leaflets Distributed Thirty thousand copies of a leaf- let, addressed to all of the rank and file coal miners in District No. 5. were printed and-distributed to all local unions. These leaflets have the names and addresses of all of the candidates of the rank. and file slate. Supporters must see that they are placed in nomina- tion, and that ell supporters at- tend the meeting. Knowing the methods of the Lewis-Fagan machine, all kinds of attempts will be made to rule the candidates off the ballot and to steal the elections. It is a known fact that the present U. M. W. of A. officers were not elected to of- fice, that they stole the votes. They will try to do this again, ~~ Elections Dec. 11 The elections will take place on Dec. 11. The rank and file coa! miners will see that good honest miners are elected as tellers for the elections, that all of the provisions of the constitution are met with and that the votes are counted in a proper way. Besides this, the rank and file miners will hold a dis- trict. conference in California, Pa., on. Dec. 16, the first Sunday after the election. They are asking one delegate to be present from each Jocal_union in the district. Also that he bring the duplicate copy of the return sheet, both of the dis- trict and International elections. In this ‘way the rank and file will tab- ulate their own vote and keep the Lewis-Fagan machine from stealing this election. From the sentiment in the coal neids, it is clear that the rank and file slate will get a large majority vote, This makes it more necessary for the rank and file to get into all of the local unions, to see that the miners are acquainted with the rank and file slate and program. and that the vote is cast and counted. Communist Candidates Are ‘Leaders in the Fight for the Right to Organize, Strike, Picket. ‘Council of Philadelphia Today Unemployed Workers Will Demonstrate at Rey- burn Plaza on Saturday Afternoon PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Oct. 17.— One hundred elec‘ed representatives Philedelphia’s 400,000 unem- | ployed will present the jobless work- | ers’ relief demands to the City Council today at 12 noon, and de- mand that the police keep their hands off the mass demonstration which will be held at Reyburn Plaza on Saturday at 2 p.m., follow- ing the refusal of the Park Com- missioners to grant a permit for the meeting. The committee of one hundred will meet at Reyburn Plaza at noon and march in a body to the City Council headquarters,. where five of their number. will set forth the demand for union wages and con- ditions on the relief jobs at guar- anteed minimum wages of not less than sixty cents an hour for 4 thirty-hour week; no discrimination against Negroes, foreign-born, women or young workefs; immedi- !ate doubling of the present relief; no evictions and cash payment of rents, and enactment of the Work- ers’ Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill. Speed Demonstration Plans In the face of a police ban and the denial of the Park Commission- ers to grant a permit, the Unem- ployment Councils are speeding their plans for the mass demonstra- tion at Reyburn Plaza, Saturday at — 2 p.m., when the committee of one | hundred will report. In addition, prominent speakers, including Israel Amter, Communist candidate for Governor of New York and secre- tary of the National Unemployment Councils; Dr. Phillip Bookstaber, noted Pennsylvania liberal, state chairman of the Civil Liberties Union and member of the State Commission on Unemployment, and | Negro leaders will speak. Jobless Mass at Relief Bureau Two hundred and fifty unem- ployed workers, mobilized by the | Unemployment Councils in North- western Philadelphia, massed at the relief station at Seventeenth and Allegheny Avenues Monday de- manding Winter clothing and cash relief. After school, forty children | boarded stree* cars, rode to the re- lief station, told the conductor to collect fares from the county relief board, and joined their parents at the relief station, raising their de- mand for free, ho: lunches at school and ear. fare. After presenting their demands a meeting was held calling upon all the assembled workers to mass at Reyburn Plaza Saturday at 2 p.m. at which place a report will be made by a delegation visiting the City Council ioday. Miss Marnell, head supervisor, called the police, but the workers refused to leave. Police seized J. Curiton, an ‘unemployed Negro worker, but were forced to release him on the way to the station as the workers massed and demanded his freedom. Fight Eviction The Unemployment Council local at 4032 German‘own Avenue has called upon all the workers in the neighborhood to mass daily at the home of Anthony Evans, 3514 North Smedley Street, an unemployed Ne- gro war veteran, father of seven children, who is faced with evic- tion after the refusal of the relief administration to pay his rent. Daily committees to the relief sta- tion are demanding rent for this worker and increased cash relief. Workers’ Bill Drive Pushed On West Coast Seven AF L, Locals Back Initiative Four in Washington SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 17—Seven locals of the American Federation of Labor have joined in the drive to put Initiative Four, the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill, be- fore the State Legislature when it convenes on Jan. 15. The seven locals are: Longshore- men Local 38-12, Electrical Workers Union 77, Painters Union 300, Saw- mill Workers Union 19515, Machin- ists 79, Boilermakers 104, and Flour and Cereal Workers Union. They have officially endorsed the Work- ers Unemployment Insurance Bill and have aided in the drive for State enactment by cash donations. Under the State initiative laws, any bill may be brought up before the State Legislature if accompanied by 50,000 signatures. The bill then comes up before the State Legis- lature for first consideration. It may propose a substitute measure, but should it not vote the bill favor- ably, the bill then goes on the bal- lot at the next general elections. There are now enough petitions circulating outside Seattle to bring in 58,000 signatures, according to William Murray, county drive chairman. However, 50,000 bona fide signatures must be obtained to place the Workers’ Bill before the State Legislature. The Workers Unemployment In- surance Bill under Initiative Four is the same as the Federal Workers’ Bill, initiated by the Communist Party and included in the Com- munist election platform, with the inclusion of a paragraph stating that the State bill will be effective until the Workers’ Bill is enacted on a national scale, The Unemployed Citizens League (affiliated with the National Unem- ployment Councils) in its instruc- tions on obtaining signatures to the petitions urged that precinct num- bers and correct addresses be ob- tained, and that the names of signers living in incorporated towns be kept on separate sheets from signers living in county precincts. Workers Bill Endorsed RENTON, Wesh., Oct. 17.— The Executive. Board of the American Slavic Benevolent Association en- dorsed Initiative Four (Workers’ Bill in the State of Washington). WORKERS’ BILL ENDURS: It has just been reported in New York that the Polish-American Citizens League, with 2 membership of 50,000, endorsed the Workers Unemployment Insurance Bill at their convention held in Philadel- phia on Feb. 15. The Executive Committee of the Polish beneficial Association of St. John Canitius, with a membership of 39,000 in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland, has recently en- dorsed the Workers’ Bill. Capitalist Politicians Pass Laws to Destroy Food. Communist Public Officeholders Will Fight to Destroy the A. A. A, Auto Drive-Away Men Strike in Five Cities CLEVELAND (F-P.).—Some 2,500 automobile drive-away workers in| five cities have resumed ‘their strike as a result of the collapse of nego- | tiations between the Automobile Transportation Drivers Union and | the employers. A previous strike had been halted for negotiations at Detroit on the| union’s demands for the union shop, a@ one-half cent a mile wage in- crease with 60 cents an hour. for waiting time. The workers are engaged in the transportation of new autos from factories and distributors to dealers. Vote Communist against N.R.A. Attacks on Liying Standards, | | | Kieve Liskofsky, S. P. Expels Him; Named On C.P. Slate Liskofsky ‘Candidate for| Senate; Was S. P. Selectman BRIDGEPORT, Conn., Oct. 17.— militant Bridge- port selectman, who was expelled from the Socialist Party recently | for opposing the anti-working class municipal policies of Socialist Mayor Jasper McLevy, has filed an application for membership in | the Communist Party. Liskofsky has already announced his candidacy for the State Senate on the Communist ticket in the 224 District, in Bridgeport. Bitter against Liskofsky’s consis- tent defense of the Bridgeport working class against the policies of McLevy and his Democratic col- | leagues, Socialists on Saturday at- tacked Liskofsky for wearing a “Vote Communist!” button while swear- ing in new voters at City Hall. Liskofsky declared he had a per-! fect right to wear the button and pointed to a Socialist official who was wearing the emblem of his party. He steadfastly refused to remove the Communist button, which bears the hammer and sickle, and a feverish study of the election laws by Socialist and Democratic officials failed to reveal that there was any law which could compel Liskofsky to hide his Communist sympathies. Vote Communist against N.R.A. Attacks on Living Standards. Textile Strikers Picket Coatsville Mill; Demand Scab Operations Cease COATSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 17,-One young textile picket, Alta Ashen- felter, was arrested when several hundred Aronsohn silk mill strikers picketed the Christinia plant of the same company. The picket demonstration was held to greet the at‘empt of the Aronsohn Co. to open the mill at Christinia in Lancaster County, | after all attempts to break the strike in Coatsville failed. Apparatus of the Christinia fire | company was brought into use against the strikers. Workers of the Aronsohn mill remain 100 per cent solid, and-have made it known that \continued efforts to operate the | Christinia mill with scabs will call forth a still greater demonstration. The company thus far even refused to meet the strike representatives. The following day another mass picket line appeared. The workers are get‘ing more militant than ever as they see the boss trick of pitting |the workers at the Christinia mill against those at Coatsville, and it is expected that the struggle will reach a still higher pitch. Weinstock Calls on A. F. of L. Locals To Send Delegates | to National Rank and File Convention SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. nee | “With the A. F. of L. convention at San Francisco over, the need for a rank and file movement in all unions is more apparent than ever,” said Louis Weinstock, na- tional secretary of the A. F. of L.) Rank and File Committee, as he urged locals and progressive trade | union groups to send delegates to the National Conference of the A. F. of L. rank and file, to be held in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27 and 28. With the rank and file confer- ence of unions, held here simul- taneously with the A. F. of L, con- vention, concluded, Weinstock is on his way to New York and will ad- dress a mass meeting at Webster Hall New York on Oct. 25, where he will report on the A. F. of L. convention and the tasks before the rank and file committees in all unions. In San Francisco the rank and file convention was opened by a large mass meeting at Eagles Hall, at which Weinstock outlined the issues facing the American trade unionisis, and the reasons for the left maneuvers at the convention, by Lewis, Tobin and such. His speech in part follows: | “This rank and file organization in the A. F. of L. challenged the Executive Council of the A. F. of L, for the past three years. It represents hundreds of thousands ef rank and file A. F. of L. work- ers and it says that the Executive Council is not the true represen- tative of the A. F. of L. rank and file. We, and only we, have the right to speak in the name of the organization. ... “In the past 12 months the facts prove that the rank and file in the local unions are disgusted with the leadership of the Executive Council. It is expressed at the local unions and established in hundreds of small and large strikes which have taken place ix the U.S. What happened in the A. F. of L.? Did Wm. Green go to the left; did Mat- thew Woll become radicalized or did the rest of those in the Execu- tive Council become class-conscious all at once? “On the contrary, these people have not changed their policies but the. members of the A. F. of L., have gone over the heads of our international officials. They did not wait any longer for sanction of Charged to 3 In Atlanta 12 Negro and White Workers Seized In Anti-War Meeting ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 11—Police | swooped down on the homes of two) Atlanta workers Sunday night and arrested 12 Negro and white work- ers attending an anti-war confer- ence. Three of the 12 are held! without bail on charges of “inciting | insurrection,” the same charge used to railroad Angelo Herndon, now out on bail pending appeal, to a sentence of 18 to 20 years on the) chain gang. The others were re-| leased with an order to post bond during the day. Women Arrested | Two Negro women, two white} women, six Negro men and two white men are among those seized. The police claimed to have found large quantities of Communist lit- | erature at both homes, one the home | of Mrs. Fannie Lawrence, a Negro worker of 446 Lindsay St., the other the home of Mrs. R. W. Alling, a white worker of 56 Mortimer St.,| N. E, Those charged with “inciting in- surrection” and held without bail are Nathan Yagol, described by the police as a graduate student and instructor in the chemical depart- ment at Emory; Alex E. Racjolen, claimed by Chief W. O. Parker to be a New York attorney and a Com- munist organizer; and Clarence ‘Weaver, described by police as pres- ident of the Negro division of the A. F. of L. Painters and Plasterers Union of Atlanta, Weaver is a Ne- gro worker. The raids were carried out by Fulton and De Kalb County police under the leadership of Chief of Police Parker of De Kalb, together with detectives from Solicitor Gen- eral Boykin’s office. Rev. John Hudson, chief Red-baiter here and assistant Solicitor General, was not present at the raids but is believed to have prepared them. The police indicated that they | would seek to railroad Racjolen to | life imprisonment on the “inciting | insurrection” frame-up. | _ Those released on bond are Julia | Jones, 290 Ashby St.; Will Moreland, | Joseph Moreland, Mrs. Fannie Law- rence, all Negro workers living at| 446 Lindsey St.; Zelman Ware, and | | Willie War, Negro workers of 406 | Ashby St., and the following white | | workers, Mrs. R.

Affairs, visits to sym- pathetic individuals and various means of making appeals were immediately prepared. Section 2 girded itself to give its challenger a “real” battie. “We en- thusiastically accept your challenge in the $60,000 drive,” it answered, “and state we will be the first sec- tion to go over the top in| this drive.” Arranged Parties And Section 2 immediately ar- ranged five house parties and its members rushed immediately to visit homes for collections. Both these sections are doing their part (if we do not blaspheme the N. R. A.) in the drive. Though Boston is only third among the dis- tricts, having completed only 44 per cent of its quota, its standing is not the fault of Worcester and Section 2.

Workers Waking Up “The fact is that hundreds of thousands are wise to the leaders of the A. F. of L., and it is merely a question of time when the rank and file organization will drive out these fakers and will establish rank and file leadership. “It is timely to mention that the A. F. of L. convention, which is supposed to be our convention, opened in this city. Who opened this conventicn? The militant lead- ers of the longshoremen or the militant leaders of the Southern textile workers, or the militant leaders of the Northen textile work- ers, of Minneapclis, or any of those who -fought side by side with the rank and file of strikers, who were daily on the picket lines? NO! Your HONORABLE Mayor Rossi {crowd boos] who is responsible for the death of two workers during the General Strike in San Fran- cisco opened the convention as Green's honored guest. Boss Representatives “Ninety per cent of the delegates attending the A. F. of L. conven- tion are not delegates of the rank and file: 90 per cent are interne- tional officials, general vice-presi- dents of general organizations .. . People who have nothing in com- mon With the rank and file . who have poisoned conventions from year to year .. . These people are speaking in our names because they keep the constitution of the cerganization in their hands through gangsterism and dictatorial control. “But there is another 10 per cent, growing year by year. Two years ago we had no delegates represent- ing the rank and file. A year ago in Washington, we had on? single delegate. year we have 15 delegates who will fight for every single resolution introduced by this rank and file convention and will challenge the policies of the fakers at the top... . Leaders Ignore Struggles “... The report of the Executive Council of the A. F. of L. is a heavy book, 157 pages, a report of the ac- tivities of the A. F. of L. for the last 12 months. . . . But there is not a single word in these 157 pages about the general strike on the West Coast. Not a single word about the textile strike involving 500,000 workers, not a single word about strikes in any part of the U.S... . Let me recall to you an instance three months ago. We were holding a tremendous open air meeting in New York City of work- ers organized in local unions af- filiated with the A. F. of L., in be- half of the general strike on the Pacific Coast. Thousands of work- ers on Union Square listened to Speakers asking for financial sup- port, for moral support to help the militant strikers in San Francisco. We realized in New York that a vic- torious struggle in San Francisco is a victory for the entire population of this country. We have also real- ized that a defeat in San Francisco is a defeat for the entire popula- tion. Irrespective of political affili- ation, Republican, Democrat, So- cialis; or Communist, every one realized that solidarity in every part of the country would help the strike in San Francisco, Our great presi- dent, Mr. Green, who received the key to the city from. Mayor Rossi today, . . . stated that. the general strike on the West Coast was not authorized by the A. F. of L. The gentlemen in Washington ‘in political circles were excited. Said William Green: ‘Don’t get excited, .». the A. F. of L. has nothing to do with this: strike.’ . One hun- dred thousend A. F. of L. members. participated in this strike! That the strike was not authorized by the A. F. of L. is a lie! It was not authorized by the Executive Coun- cil! No strike was ever authorized by them! ... But the rank and file orgenized in the loczl unions all over the country know that only through strike struggles can their conditions be bettered, and we will fight until they are won... . Destroy Their Graft “Bosses and bureaucrats say that we want to destroy the A. F. of L. but we are building it for the rank and file and controlled by the rank and file. We are fight:ng for trade union democracy, against gangster- ism and racketeering in the organ- ization. I could tell you for hours about Chicago, of the organization controlled by gangsters; by Legs Diamond . . . up to the highest of- fices in the A. F. of L. We have ex- posed them and driven them out of the local organizations... . “On Sept. 11 Green issued an of- ficial document, NOT calling upon .}based on an industrial democracy rank and file workers to resist wage cuts, to join hand in hand to sup- port all textile workers, or carry on a fight against gangster elements in our organization, NOT calling upon international unions not to sus- pend organized workers. . . . In- stead he called upon unions to ex- pell Communists out of their ranks. Stop War “The Rank and File Committee says to Green that he cannot in- cite us into another war, neither can he incite us towards fascism, nor to fall for those big-bellied Politicians who are living on the sweat and blood of the entire working population. And we hope that in this fight we will get the Support of every honest trade union member, . . . the rank and file movement is open to every single working organization in the A. F. of L. to join hand in hand to fight until the 3,600,000 workers build a clean, honest, big trade union move- ment and millions of unorganized will join, and those brothers and sisters’ who are decided on this or- ganization will say, “Yes, we are go- ing to join an organization that is that is real . . . instead of class col- laboration.’ Harry Bridges “Workers in Chicago, Cleveland, New York, have asked me... to shake hands with ‘that - fellow Bridges’ [loud cheers and ap- plause]. This is what the workers think of Bridges and the rank and file leaders who come from below, from small local organizations, who do not live in expensive houses, who do not travel in airplanes, but who come from the workers them- sclves, who know organized labor and will not betray it. “For three years the Rank and File Committee has fought for un- employment insurance, and now we want action and we propose to the rank and file to call a 24-hour gen- eral strike for the establishment of the Unemplcyment Insurance Bill. “They have promised unemploy- ment insurance, but no unemploy- ment insurance has been estab- lished yet, and people are starvinc, unemployment is growing.
