Seek Fall Information In all arrangements for trans- Portation, food and lodging, exact information is needed. The Na- tional office must know how many delegates will attend the Congress, when they will arrive, and when they Will leave, In order to have working capital, as many as possible of the delegates fees should be paid in advance. This will also facilitate the registration of the delegates. When remittances for the dele- gates are made to the national office, it was suggested that as many as possible leave in a group so as to obtain lowest possible fares. As they money for the group is col- lected for food, lodging and trans- portation, enough should be set aside to meet travelling expenses and the remainder forwarded to the national office in accordance with the established schedule for the feeding and housing in Washing- ton and the registration fee of twenty-five cents for each delegate. Delegates who wish to provide | their own food and lodging while in Washington may do so. Delegates who will be fed and housed by the Congress will be required to pay $1.75 a day or $1.25 a day. These rates are based on a charge of seventy-five cents a day for food, and either fifty cents or one dollar a day for lodging. Payment must be made in advance for the entire stay in Washington. Special train rates have been ob- tained from all points on the Penn- | sylyania Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. For delegations of more than 200 the charge will be one cent a mile, and for fifty or more the charge will be one and one-quarter cents a mile. Trans- portation, however, should be ar- ranged by each local sponsoring committee. Arrange Radio Hookup Sendoff mass meetings, the Na- tional Committee urges, should be held in all localities to serve the double purpose of bringing the fight for unemployment insurance to the widest possible number of workers and for raising additional funds to meet local expenses. Additional supplies of the litera- ture for the National Congress should be sold at all these meetings. Mary Van Kleeck, national chair- man of the Interprofessional Asso- Poe for eae, tases, and meml of the National Sponsoring Committee, will speak on “What Kind of Unemployment Insurance Does America Need” over the Blue Network of the National Broadcast- ing Company, Station WJZ, 760kc Saturday, Jan. 5, at 5:30 p. m.

Hitler Forming ‘Staff Of War, Report Shows WARSAW, Dec. 23.—Hitler is about to create & General Staff for War, according to information obtained by a@ correspondent of the Polish ‘Telegraph Agency here. Among the candidates for Chief of Staff have been nominated Generals von Bock and Liebmann. A gigantic underground munitions factory has just been constructed near Scharnhorst, 8 suburb of Celle, as verified by workers in the plant. ‘The personnel comprises about 1,000 workers who labor up to 15 hours a day. Another underground muni- tions factory is in course of con- struction near Lehrte; the former Scheun airdrome has also been transformed into a munitions fac- tory. The Strechamel factories of Hanover, which after next Jan, 1 pass into control of Hanomag, are making steel-reinforced shells and considerable quantities of grenades. ‘These shells, of which 10,000 are made daily, are able to pierce a piece of steel 8 millimeters thick. ‘The same factory daily produces 300 86mm. mortar shells and 1,000 36mm. shells for artillery defense against tanks. No Clothes—No Job; No Job—No Clothes CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 23.— Sixty unemployed workers who were working on a snow shoveling relief job in the West Chicago Park Dis- trict here Thursday were sent home and refused further work when they All-Star Show In Chicago Stevedore Cast to Act On Anniversary Gala Night CHICAGO, Ill., Dec, 23. — The Daily Worker Anniversary will be celebrated here with an All-Star New Theatre Night on Saturday evening, Jan, 5, at Turner Hall, 820 N. Clark Street. In addition to performances by the “Stevedore” cast, four revolu- tionary plays will be presented. These are the famous “Newsboy”; “Lynched”; “Troops are Marching’ and the “Capitalist Follies of 1935. Other popular features are on the program, as well. The Chicago Daily Worker Office yesterday urged all Communist Party units, mass organizations and trade unions to put in their re- quests for tickets as quickly as possible. Tickets are 25 cents in advance and can be secured at all Workers Bookshops. Organizers Are Freed As Bethlehem Workers Expose Framed Charge BETHLEHEM, Pa,, Dec. 23.—Two organizers of the International Pocketbook Workers Union, A. F. of L., A. Rosen and Charles Remer, who were sent here from New York a few days ago to organize the local shops, were arrested and kept in jail for 27 hours as “suspicious” in- dividuals. ing in court to frame the organizers on the charge that “they made ef- forts to mislead 25 girls into white Slavery in New York.” The frame- up was, however, exposed and the workers released. The two workers were arrested while in a restaurant, talking ‘to other workers. Abe Greenberg, owner of the Ohio Bag Company, which operates an open shop in Bethlehem, was seen near the res- taurant at the time. 15,000 Wait All Night At Ford Auto Plant; Only 100 Are Hired DETROIT, Dec. 24—More than 15,000 workers waited all night at the Ford plant in River Rouge Sun- day only to find that about 100 of them were to be given jobs. Many of the workers were from sections of the country hundreds of miles away, drawn here by Ford’s announcements that he was expand- ing production and would hire many thousands of additional men, This |is_a well-known Ford stunt. The company unions are attempt- ing to entrench themselves among the workers in the. basic industries by making rosy promises and by the use of demagogic attacks upon the misdeeds and sellouts of the leaders es the American Federation of La- In the Westinghouse Electric Co., in Pittsburgh, where at present from. six to seven thousand workers are employed, a special type of dem- agogy is employed by the company. In this plant, which has had no trade union organization since 1916, there is a demagog named Pete Moran, Who is the chief promise maker of the company union. Moran, a member of the executive puts up a big show of making a fight for the demands and the griev- ances of the men, He is always busy “fighting” for some employe's rights. But the workers are beginning to see that Moran, who talks “mil- itantly,” is a tool of the company in keeping out the real trade unions. Moran is always busy WITH AN INDIVIDUAL CASE. Pete Moran, in spite of ‘his “militant” talk, tries to keep the workers satisfied with and chained to the company union and to keep them from getting to- gether and organizing independently of the company. .

Company Unions Give the elections ordered by Dec. 29 by | the Labor Board which in its de- cision established that the Kaynee | Company sponsored employees’ as- | sociation was definitely of a com- Pany union character. Beryl Peppercorn, manager of the Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers of America, that is leading the strike, announced that the union is going to ask for the removal of the Blue Eagle from the company’s Bucyrus plant. According to this, the A.C.W, leaders are definitely abandoning the picketing of the Bucyrus plant and lead the fight entirely into legal channels, Workers of the Kaynee Com- pany’s three plants in Cleveland have been on strike for close to two months now. The plants are com- pletely shut down. Only the Bucyrus plant is in operation, with some hundred and twenty workers. Two weeks ago the unions made a mil- itant show of mass picketing which was abandoned a few days later. Soviet Metal Workers Given Decorations (Special to the Daily Worker) MOSCOW, Dec. 23 (By Wireless). —By decree of the Central. Execu- tive Committee of the U. S. S. R., & number of workers of the first Kuznetsk Sialin Metallurgical Plant were awarded the Order of Lenin and the Order of Labor of the Red Banner. The decree was published throughout the Soviet Union. Now operating in this plant are four cooking batteries of 55 ovens each, three blast furnaces producing on the average 2,600 tons of pig iron a day; ten open-hearths whose daily production is 2,300 tons of steel, a blooming rail and beam mill. Since starting production the plant has already supplied the country with 1,440,000 tons of pig- iron, 854,000 tons of steel, and 417,- 000 tons of rails. During 11 months and 10 days of 1934 the plant pro- duced 792,000 tons of pig-iron, 563,- 000 tons of steel, 334,000 tons of rolled metal. In addition to the Kuznetsk Stalin Plant, a second metallurgeal plant is under con- struction in Siberia. The operation of this plan has meant the independence of the So- viet Union from the necessity of importing raw steel and iron and the driving forward of all produc- tion in every sphere at a tremen- dously increased tempo. ers, all of them on the Dearborn relief rolls, gathered at the relief station at Michigan Avenue and Maple, next to the Dearborn city hall, on the report that jobs at the Ford plant would be handed out. Only about 30 got jobs. Relief of- ficials tried to disperse the crowd, but they held their ground, demand- ing the jobs which had been through his “militant” talk within the company union. Growth of Company Unions The company unions have grown tremendously under the protection of the N.R.A. and the Labor Boards. The Economic Notes of the Labor Research Association of December, 1933 printed an estimate of the growth of the company unions com- piled by the Pen and Hammer, This survey found that plants in which the employers have instituted the “employe representation” plan em-~ ploy 300 per cent more workers than before N.R.A, Nearly five million workers are employed in plants which have instituted the company union. This does not mean of course, that five million workers ap- Prove the company union. A conversation with a steel work- er recently in Braddock will illus- trate what the employers consider “membership” in the company union. “I have worked in the Thompson rail mill in Braddock for six years” this worker told me. “There is a company union there. Every year we have to vote in the company union elections. I have not been called to a meeting of the company union in the six years I've been in the plant. But I’m con- sidered a member of the company union.” Pamphlet Cites Demagogy The demagogic manner in which the company unions operate is illus- trated by the sixteen-page pamphlet distributed by the United States Steel Corporation entitled “New Facts About Unions.” This pamph- let is written by a steel trust em- Ploye, James B. Finley, who is pres- ident of the Allegheny Steel Em- ploye’s Union of Brackenridge, the company union. It is distributed not only to the steel workers but to with the loss of their iB |.

Acting on the pleas of a group of twenty-five bankers, who had previ- ously appeared before the City Council, three squads of police were dispatched to the eviction scene. ‘The 500 workers assembled by the Councils and the Small Home and Land Owners Federation crowded the sidewalks from early morning on. Catcalls greeted the sheriff and his deputies, who under a string of po- lice guards carried the furniture out, Every effort .of the police to drive the workers away was repulsed. While the police were thus en- gaged, the holder of the second mortgage, who was prompted by the Lincoln Heights Savings and Loan Company to foreclose on the prop- erty, arrived to supervise the evic- tion.

By the aluminum and other workers. This pamphlet consists of a series of “letters” from Finley addressed to “Fellow Workers of America.” All of these letters attack the sellouts and bureaucratic acts of the A. F. of L, leaders, The first letter is more openly fascist, attacking “Communist agitators” and “self- seeking labor leaders,” appealing for “industrial peace, prosperity and happiness” and urging the workers to reject “un-American methods” and “revolution.” “It is time we re- membered that we are American citizens,” Finley says. _ The second letter analyzes the first settlement which William Green and company sought to enforce on the aluminum workers, and shows that the only point insisted on by Green was the check-off. “Such a proposal amounts to a complete sell-out of the workers” say the righteous Fin- ley. He quickly draws the conclu- sion that strikes are a bad thing, “After the misery and suffering of a prolonged strike who gets the bene- fit? The current epidemic of strikes sponsored by organized labor are for one main purpose only—to enable labor leaders to secure control throughout the country. It is the striking workers who lose.” Other letters attack the general textile strike, attack the high dues charged in the A. A. by Mike Tighe. The pamphlet winds up with the “virtues” of the company unions— no high dues, the workers “settling their own disputes” and “labor rack- eteers” out in the cold. This demagogic approach of the! company union to the worker was laid down by Arthur Young, vice- President of the United States Steel Corporation, in charge of labor rela- tions, Young, testifying on April 5, CARL REEVE Worker Gets 6 Months PITTSBURGH, Pa.

He said, “and not all of our tradesmen are eligible to some of the unions listed, because of ‘aristocracy’ traditions, and class and color distinctions pre- vailing in the unions,” Company Union “Plans” The company unions parade as a “rank and file” organization, free from “outsiders,” without any dis- crimination. The “joker” is con- cealed in the agreements of these company unions, In the steel indus- try they contain the following clause, “The management of the works, and the direction of the working forces, including the right to hire, suspend or discharge for proper cause, or transfer, and the right to relieve employes of duty because of lack of work or for other legitimate reasons, is vested ex- clusively in the management.” (from the National Tube Steel Mill | “plan,” McKeesport). The bitter pill which the paternal- istic demagogy of Young and Finley hides is also found in the section in these company union “plans” which He} unions.” Young gave a long list of | in the newspapers today. | The protocol provides that nego- | | tiations begin as soon as possible to |conclude a treaty concerning trade | Settlements and navigation, substi- jtuting the provisional trade agree- | ment of Jan. 11, 1934. In order to conclude this agreement, the follow- ing proposals were considered which | could serve as a foundation: The | Opening of the French market to| | the U. SS.

This credit is, to be j utilized as payment on orders to |be given to French industry for a period of one year. The U.S. 5S. R. will grant credits to French export- | ers. If a new trade agreement could | | not be concluded before Jan. 1 1935, | then the agreement of Jan. 11, 1934, remains in power during 1935 until sible time. ‘To Celebrate Birthday} of Union in Chicago} | aS: | | CHICAGO, Dec, 23—The mem- bers and friends of the ers Industrial Union | |celebration of the Sixth anniver- sary, February 3, of the birth of the | militant union and of its many | | achievements in defense of the in- | | terests of the workers. | The celebration will be held at} | where | | thousands of workers will pledge | 4 | their loyalty to revolutionary union-| ceeds to get Daily Worker sub- member of the Woods Run Unem- | ism and for the unity of all wark-| scriptions for workers who cannot ‘ers in the needle industry.
