Stack Freed SEATTLE, Dec. 26.—After seven hours deliberation the jury in the case of Walter Stack (and the Marine Workers Industrial Union) vs. the State of Washington (and the shipowners) decreed him not guilty. The charge was vagrancy (six months and $300 fine limit). But Prosecutor Bailey told the jury he was “only sorry the charge was not @ more serious one,” and used ex- treme efforts to toss at least one militant marine workers’ leader in Jail. The shipowners spared no ex- dense to convict Stack, They brought men from the East Coast—a mate, two seamen, a first assistant engi- neer—who were supposed to have witnessed an alleged assault by Stack on a seaman, Red Herring The prosecution continually tried to bring in a red scare.

Efforts will be made during the next weeks to make a photographic survey of the general living condi- tions in the district, with particular attention to the alarming effects of malnutrition on the children of the workers, both employed and unem- ployed. The evidence will be used in public hearings to arouse the entire working-class of Chicago against the starvation program of the city and federal governments. At the same time, the Film and Photo League will consult with several doctors and child health special- | ists for the purpose of producing a short film to expose the real state of affairs among Chicago’s unem- ployed workers, most of whom are not on relief rolls, while those on the rolls are facing drastic cuts in | their already meager relief allowan- ces, | Movies and lectures will also be |given in the Childs Center as part lof the more extensive cultural and welfare program of the’ W.

William Cooper, a delegate from | the Unemployed League to the First Toledo Conference Against War and Fascism, held in Toledo last Sun- | day, was sent in by Truax to work toward splitting the conference by spreading rumors there and later. On Dec. 21, both the Toledo News- Bee and the Tiffin Daily papers carried stozies stating that the members of the Unemployed League had been given about 2,000 hand- bills by Cooper calling for support to the Washington Congress, that | Cooper claimed to have receved| these bills at the Sunday conference and that after the distribution had started it was discovered that the bills had been printed by “the Com- munist press,” that on discovering this the members of the League im- mediately stopped the distribution and proclaimed that the League was | in no way connected with the Com- | munists. The following statement issued yesterday by the Communist Party, here, gives the lie to these attempts to sabotage the growing unity of | the workers in their fight for Un- | employment Insurance and against | war and fascism: “Unable to pre- vent the move of large and strong trade union organizations into sup- port of the American League | Against War and Fascism over ihe heads of the Central Labor Union of this city, these renegade counter-revolutionaries who have found common haven under the banner of Trotsky and Muste, come to the rescue of the fear stricken bosses of this section by themselves carrying the brunt of the attack against the powerful resistance against war and fascism which was evidenced when more than 7,600) workers were represented in the this the members of the League im- Anti - War Conference in Toledo last Sunday.

It indicates still more that bourgeois democracy is nothing but the rule of the capitalists, that today in the United States marches swiftly ahead to increased fascization. It becomes our task, therefore, in the coming aldermanic and Mayor- rights given to us in these “free” elections to expose the entire na- ture and essence of bourgeois de- mocracy, to burst. the bubble of | “free” and “popular” elections, to | expose the propaganda of “people’s choice,” the maneuvers, deals and | agreements between the parties of | capitalism. “But to expose alone is not suf- ficient. We have to place in op- position to these favorite and select- ed sons of Patrick Nash, of the} steel and coal interests, of the stock yards and traction interests, working class candidates, sons of | toil and labor, representatives of | the working class in given wards | and in the city of Chicago, who will run on a platform that will meet the problems and needs of the Chi- | cago workers. | “It is already now evident that an unprecedented amount of dema- | gogy is going to be used in the com- | ing city elections. The planks in the platforms of the various inde- pendent candidates, stolen practi- | cally verbatim from the platform | of our Party, indicate that the can- didates of the bosses’ parties realize | that a new kind of campaign will have to be carried on in the com- ing elections, that they can no longer ignore or overlook or keep | quiet about the problems of the Chicago workers, and through the tremendous campaign of lip service and demagogy in the coming elec- tions will attempt to win the work- ing class vote. This must be coun- teracted by us through the de-/| velopment of mass campaigns of struggles around the demands of | the masses.

Spofford was Socialist candidate for Governor of Maryland in the last elections. William B. Spofford, the item should read, is director of the Church League for Industrial Dem- ocracy, Repeating his tactics of last sum- mer, when he placed himself at the head of the great textile strike in Gorman, Vice-President of the last Sunday told an audience of 2,500 textile workers in Webster, Mass., that unless the textile bosses éliminate the “stretch-out” from the soon be called. The 2,500 workers he spoke to are victims of the “stretch-out.” The irony of Gorman’s latest statement, is that in his audience were hundreds of Southbridge work- ers, strikers of the Hamilton Woolen Mills, whose strike he is now trying to break. Without consulting them, Gorman ordered them to accept the company’s terms, which include dis- crimination against 200 union mem- bers, while 200 scabs are to remain on their jobs. Hundreds are doomed to remain jobless because of speed- up measures permitted in the mill. He did not consult the workers, but took the suggestion of the Labor Relations Board of Massachusetts that, “in the interest of preventing a permanent closing of the Hamilton Mill,” the yorkers should return on the company’s terms. Thus Gorman once more in words was militant, at order to behead it later, Francis! United Textile Workers of America, | mills, a general textile strike will meeting with such a_ splendid response here from all working class organizations. With the many American Federation of Labor locals, the City Council, the County and clubs supporting the call for the Congress and sending dele- gates to Washington, these rene- gades are working overtime in a belated effort to raise the red-scare. “Hitherto posing as supporters of the conference against war and fascism, the local Muste-Trotzky organizations now come out openly in opposition with a statement that it carries a Communist Party com- plexion, and that the conference was stacked. The many workers from conservative organizations who were in attendance at the confer- ence, and who were drawn into the most responsible activities, are themselves the best answer to this allegation.” was breaking a strike, under cover of his radical words. Militancy in New England Why did Gorman choose to make New England his latest scene for demagogic statements? Because it | is in New England that a rank and file movement expressed in the In- terstate Conference Against Stretch- out and Discrimination is sweeping all locals of the U.T.W. More than 40 locals are already affiliated with it, The locals are electing delegates to visit the national officials of the | Union and Labor Relations Board to demand action against the worsen- ing conditions which have developed since last summer's strike. The emptiness of Gorman’s mil itant talk can be judged from the fact that in the same speech in which | he spoke of striking again expressed satisfaction over “the fact that President Roosevelt has kept every promise since the big strike “was | called off.” Roosevelt's promises have { back to work, were given extra ma- | chines to tend; in the South; wage cuts swept Commissioners, the many groups | State Relief Administrator Harry J.

It is clear that despite all Rocse- velt’s promises the “truce” turned ers in every respect. And Gorman, by acting as chief engineer of the strike settlement, has contributed incalculable service to the bosses. The textile manufacturers, al- though appreciating fully Gorman’s services to them, follow the same policy as the steel and automobile bosses, They want no union other ‘than a company union.

Boyev, the | new chairman of the Board of Direc- | tors of the Amtorg Trading Corpor- ation, arrived yesterday on the 8.8. | “Ile de France” to assume his duties | in that position, to which he was/ elected last August. Mr. Boyev was formerly Vice-Com- missar for Foreign Trade of the USS.R. in charge of Soviet pur-| chases abroad. Prior to that he) occupied a number of other import- jant posts in the field of foreign trade and finance. He has been at various times a member of the Trade Dele- gation to Great Britain, head of the | Soviet Trade Delegation in Sweden, | head of the Textile Import Corpora- tion, and Vice-Chairman of the Bank for Foreign Trade, Francis Gorman, Betrayer of the Great General Textile Strike, These problems can best be met through the development of a | real united front movement, involv- | ing trade unions, unemployed or- ganizations, fraternal societies, etc. | Only such a united front can bring sharply before the Chicago workers the real meaning of the elections and the necessity of electing work- ers into office, and expressing their growing consciousness and radical- ization, not only through daily par- ticipation in the struggles, but also | by the way they vote in the com-/| Ing elections. Our slogan must be- | come ‘Vote as you strike.’” Because of this, the city confer- ence to be held in Chicago on Jan. 13th at Mirror Hall, takes on added importance. This will be the only conference that will nominate real representatives of the Chicago work- ers—real fighters for the interests of the Chicago workers, as candi- dates for Mayor, City Clerk and, City Treasurer.
