WORK RELIEF STRIKE SOLID IN THIRD WEEK Build Councils; Plan to Hold County Parley Relief Heads Exhibit, Fake Petition To Smash Walk-Out By WALDMER ISAAC | | ITHACA, N. Y., Dec. 4—The 400 | striking relief workers here are} standing solid in their strike against | & drastic relief cut, for higher relief | and better working conditions. The relief officials, city administration and State Temporary Emergency Relief Administration officials have | united in a vicious campaign of lying, intimidation and trickery in trying to break the strike. The Ithaca Evening Journal is working hand in hand with the administration, spreading lies about the situation of the strike, attack- ing the strike leaders, and attack- ing the Communist Party, which is active in support of the strike, and which enjoys the support of most of the strikers. With 36 bogus names signed to a petition, the Work Relief director issued a statement that the strike was off. The petition, which re- quests the right to return to work without any improvement in pres- ent hunger conditions, has been cir- culated by work bureau officials and stool-pigeons with little suc- cess. Scores of workers have pro- tested that they never signed the pétition. Other names on the peti- tion are those of 80-year-old men who have never been employed on work relief, The Ithaca Evening Journal gleefully hails the end of the strike, using the fake petition as “proof.” Solidarity Shown As an answer to the fake petition, | the strikers held a “Thanksgiving” celebration at their tent headquar- ters. Over forty chickens, a cow, potatoes and scores of pies donated i} | | Passaic Anti-Nazis Will Counter Rally Of Fascists Tonight ee | PASSAIC, N. J., Dec. 4—A counter-demonstration against a meeting of the Nazi Friends of New Germany scheduled for Wednesday evening at the Hy- baurer Hall, President Street and Park Avenue, will be held here in front of the hall the same evening. A considerable number of or- ganizations and individuals al- ready have pledged their sup- port to the anti-Nazi demonstra- tion, and thousands of Passaic residents are expected to par- ticipate to express their unqual- ified opposition to fascism. The anti-Nazi action is called by the Passaic branch of the American yeeseap Against War and Fas- cism. Daily Worker Drive Spurred In Buffalo Communist Organizer Pledges $250 Within Next Few Days Stating that Buffalo should “long ago have reached its quota” in the $60,000 drive, Henry Shepard, Buf- falo District Organizer, yesterday called upon the Communist Party | sections and mass organizations in the district to raise “at least $250 within the next few days.” Buffalo has acquired only $535 of | its $750 quota—71 per cent. “We have repeatedly called upon | you to put all forces into the drive,” Shepard stated. “But the Rochesier section ap- parently is the only section which has taken this appeal seriously. It is clear that we have not ap- by sympathetic farmers, business- | proached the question of raising our men and workers went into making a huge banquet for the strikers and their families. Enthusiasm ran high at the meeting as worker after worker spoke. Splendid solidarity between Negro and white workers was displayed and two Negro workers who spoke received tremen- dous ovations. Farmers and em- ployed workers, members of the American Federation of Labor and an insurance agent spoke, pledging their support. of the strike. The strikers voiced their determination to. unite with workers of other counties when they demanded that Sam Leach, chairman, and Wald- mer Isaac, organizer, of the Inter- County Unemployment Council, both of Ontario County, return to speak at the huge strike rally being organized for Sunday evening. Many of the strikers, who are disgusted with both the Democratic and Republican parties, are wit- nessing the brotherly co-operation of Glen Jackson, district T. E. R. A. administrator, and the Republican city administration in trying to break the strike. Jackson is a lead- ing Democrat of New York State. Strike Spread Looms The State and local T. E. R. A. administration is expending every effort to break the strike, as vic- tory for the Ithaca workers would be a signal for similar militant ac- tion on the part of the unemployed and relief workers in this district of the T, E. R. A, which includes eleven counties. Workers in this T. E. R. A. dis- trict are building the Inter-County Unemployment Council, which was formed by representatives of unem- ployed and relief workers’ organiza- tions at a conference held in Can~- andaigua last Sunday. The Ithaca strikers were represented at the conference and made many pro- posals. Foremost among the plans laid by the Conference for the Inter-County Unemployment Coun- cil is spreading the organization to every county in this T. E, R. A. dis- trict and conducting a joint strug- gle for higher relief and the Work- ers’ Unemployment and Social In- surance Bill. WHAT’S ON RATES: 35¢ for 3 limes on weekdays. Friday and Saturday 5c.

Naff and twenty-seven others were arrested on Sept. 6, when po- lice, acting under the direct orders of the former Klansman, Governor E. E. Moeur, charged the picket line of striking F. E. R. A. workers. The reign of terror which followed was somewhat abated as workers’ de- fense groups and a wave of protests flooded the Governor, Each of the twenty-eight workers, who are charged with “riot,” will dgmand a jury trial. Thomas J. Croaff, former president of the State Federation of Labor and prominent labor attorney, and Grover Johnson of the Interna- tional Labor Defense will defend the workers. Protests against the frame-up of these twenty-eight and demands | that all be immediately released should be rushed to Governor Moeur, Attorney-General LaPrade and Judge Speakman, Phoenix, Arizona, position, The N.R.A. maintains just enough demogogy in order to keep wrapped around itself the last shreds of illusions of “fairness” to labor, They decide on an “election” but rule at the same time that the company union is legal and its name must be printed on the ballot, The Labor Boards, the Department of Justice and the federal courts then protect the employers and their company unions from any embar- rassment by endless delay and where imecessary by blocking the carrying out of the results of the elections in the courts. In the case of the rubber industry, the chances are the elec- tions will not even be held. Only One Case In Courts The same course of protecting the company union was carried out in the auto, the steel, and other in- dustries. In the steel industry, one election has been held under the new Steel Labor Board set up by Roosevelt with the approval of William Green, Mike Tighe and other A. F. of L. leaders, in order to prevent a strike last June. In this election, the employes of the West Virginia Rail Co., of Hunt- ington, W. Va., voted overwhelm- ingly against the company union and selected the A. F. of L. union, the Amalgamated Association, as their “bargaining agent.” But this election changed nothing. The com- pany union in this plant is stronger than ever, and no move toward a contract has been made by the com- pany. So well has the Roosevelt govern- ment protected the “rights” of the employers and their company unions that only one case, of all those re- ferred to the Department of Justice, has actually come into the courts. This is the famous Weirton case, where for interminable months the government has been “sueing” the | Industrial Movie Union | |Gains Wage Increase From Technicolor Co. | HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Dec. 4—The Motion Picture Workers Industrial | |Union here has won a ten per cent | increase in wages for tool and die makers employed by the Techni- | \color Company.

This “trial” turned into an open farce when the judge interrupted tae arguments to praise the company union and to attack the real trade union of the Weirton workers—the Amalgamated Association. The case is still in the courts and the Weirton company has only ac- celerated the blacklist, firing, and the domination of the company |union, while the suit dargs on. Further endless delay is provided for in the intention to “appeal” to the United States Supreme Court if the employers find this move neces- sary. Auto Labor Board Boosts Company Union In the Houde Engineering case, af- ter months of doing nothing, the De- partment of Justice has finally brought suit against the Houde En- company which, like all employers when it is to their in- terests has laughed at the decisions of the National Relations Board. In the “complaint” of the D. of J. the words “or any group” are added when the A. F. of L, union is men- tioned. Thus the D. of J. leaves a loop-hole for the company union. This case, now in the Buffalo courts, might drag on for years until it Teaches the United States Supreme Court. If the employers find it to their interest, they can instruct the courts, which they control, to end the farce and rule for the company union. Meanwhile, the Auto Labor Board will continue to strengthen the company unions. In the Houde case, the election ‘has been held, the A. F. of L, auto union has been chosen by the work- ers, and the company union flour- lishes more strongly than ever, under the regime of the Auto Labor Board. The Houde company flatly refuses to consider the results of the “elec- ‘Actors Equity Association in an ef- | | Staats-Zeitung, Los Angeles German language newspaper.

According to the |Staats-Zeitung, supposedly more |than 100 fascists from California will participate in the vote. Police Jail Eight After St. Louis Demonstration ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 4.—Kight unemployed workers, four men and four women, were arrested here last Saturday and charged with dis- turbing the peace, during a demon- | stration at the City Hall to demand | increased relief, | Police, under the command of Captain Wetzel, well-known for his brutality in handling labor cases, severely beat the demonstrators in dispersing them. with the company union. Now, with the “re-oranization” of |the N.R.A, the Roosevelt govern- ment plans to more openly cham- Pion the company union and to “in- terpret” the Section 7 A more clearly as a union smashing, company union proposition. This is the meaning of Donald Richberg’s speech in which he de- (clared, “No one has been given au- thority under the law, and I doubt whether anyone could be given legal authority, to herd all em- |ployes or any number of employes Unto a voting unit and then compel them to select their representatives by a majority vote.” Richberg, most important spokes- }man for Roosevelt, is praised for these remarks by the Wall Street Journal, which is, like Richberg, spokesman for the employers. This employers’ sheet editorially demands the “right” of the employers to recognize and deal only with their own union—the company union. Regarding “interpretation” of Section 7A, the Wall Street Journal states: “The question now is for the courts, and it is to be hoped that whatever the lower courts may de- cide (regarding the Houdge case— C.R.) the case will be carried to the U. S. Supreme Court in order that both labor and industry may know their rights and duties, Until that is done it will be a difficult matter to convince disinterested people that even one working man in a large organization must forego his right to bargain with his employer and submit to the representation or agency of another who is not his choice.” ‘The Wall Street Journal, citing Richberg, here argues for the “rights” of the company union, and of the Houde Co., to deal only with this fascist union. The issue in- which will be held here on Sunday, Dec. 9, In addition, calls for the election of representative delegates have been sent to the Mechanics Educa- tional Society, Local 23 of the In-| ternational Association of Machin- ists, the Independent Die Casters’ ; League of America, and other} unions of the metal workers.

It is based on. the ambiguous language of Sec- tion 7A itself and the original pur- pose of Section 7A. It is vested in all of the activities of Roosevelt's Labor Boards. It is also based on Roosevelt's decision in the auto in- dustry. Here not only was the “merit clause” written by Roosevelt and the A, F. of L. leaders into the auto code, thus giving the employers a free hand to hire and fire and carry on anti-union activity. It was also contained in the decision of Roosevelt, which was hailed by Green, that prevented the auto strike last year and which laid down the “principle” of representation for SO nent et AA aaa eta aca aacacecae living standards, with the more open | wage-cutting drive, and more open | union-smashing measures of the/| government, some of the demagogy surrounding Section 7 A is being dis- carded, and the N.R.A. and the fed- eral government (as in Richberg’s speech) champions the company union moer openly.

The working class, studying the | whole history of the building of | company unions under N.R.A., can learn the lesson that not through government boards, not through no- strike agreements, not through Sec- tion 7A can the workers win any of their demands and defeat the com- pany unions. Under Section 7A company unions grew to an unprecedented degree. Only through their own organized strength, only through their own unions, operating with a class struggle policy, only by strike prep- arations and rank and file control, can the workers defeat the company unions, win union recognition and mill tax and pointed to other sources where this could be ob- tained such as a higher utilities tax and a steeply graduated income tax on the high brackets of income.. With the co-operation of its de- voted supporters among individ- ual readers and mass organiza- tions, the Daily Worker financial drive can be brought to a suc~ cessful close. More funds must be raised within the next two weeks to realize the Daily Worker quota, Rush whatever you can to the paper teday. AFFAIRS FOR THE DAILY WORKER Buffalo, N. ¥.
