The workers assembled at Sun- day's conference will hear men and women from their own class who have risen to leadership because they were always in the forefront of the masses’ struggles. Robert Minor will give the main report. When he finishes, the floor will be open to discussion by the delegates from working class or- ganizations. There will be six dele- gates there from American Federa- tion of Labor locals. In true demo- cratic fashion they will discuss the Program presented by the Commu- nist Party, and organize their forces to carry this program to Chicago's masses of working men and women, Other speakers will be the Com- munist candidate for Mayor, twenty- five year old Karl Lockner, leader of the Cook County Unemployment Councils, and the Communist can- didate for City Treasurer, Sam} Hammersmark, veteran leader of | the working class.

From his past record, which had won their esteem, they know that | if they elect him, they will have | someone in the City Council who | would speak for their interests, | someone who will fight for their | daily needs, for better living con- | ditions. | Approximately every third person jin this ward is totally unemployed, | and thousands are on part-time work. There are hundreds on the | miserable, inadequate relief, living a | life of slow starvation. Other fam- | ilies are denied any kind of relief at all.

The workers who nominated Racz rallied their relatives pressure to bear on the dairy com- | pany, and demanding Racz’ re- |instatement. Telephone calls from working class organizations all over other effective forms of protest, ga the dairy company something to think about. Racz, they discovered, had become a figure of importance. The voters, aroused by this flagrant Fascist persecution, and its denial of fun- damental American rights, dug in for a real fight. And then the regular politicians began to worry.

(By Mail) —| The National Steel Labor Relations Beard continued to stall on their order for an election in the Duquesne and McDonald plants of ‘the Car- negie Steel Co., evading an answer to a direct wire sent them by Wil- liam Spang, militant president of the Fort Duquesne Lodge of the A. A., which demanded a yes or no answer as to whether the poll would be held or not. Meanwhile the company con- tinued its activities in trying to split the solid ranks of the steel workers in Duquesne by having petitions circulated by company union rep- resentatives, which demand a six- hour day measure be enacted by Congress. Despite the low level of produc- tion in the Duquesne mill, many new workers are being hired so as to pad the payroll lists of the company in the eventuality that an oppor- tunity to use the payroll against the A. A. presents itself, and to get as many new hands as possible, who might be induced to scab in case of @ struggle, into the mill. Sentiment is strong for a walkout, but nothing would play into the company’s hands more than a strike |at Duquesne at the present time, and the workers realize the im- portance of organizing other weaker mills if a strike struggle is to be | successful. New applications for union mem- bership are being received every day as the workers turn in old pay en- velopes to be used as a basis for a voting list if the company continues in its refusal to turn over lists and the board continues to stall. The company has made little headway in raising the red scare by means of a lynch-editorial in the weekly Duquesne Times, and many of the townspeople are openly de- nouncing this incitement to mob violence written by the bosses and published under the editor's name. Joint Committee Comes | | ‘Like Hitler,’ | | Shoots Jew Murder by Jew-Baiter | Arouses Mass Indignation By A. B. Magil | DETROIT, Jan. 11—‘You god- |damn Jews ought to be run off Hast- | |ings Street. You need a Hitler in| this country to take care of you, and you're going to get one.” It was one of “Detroit's finest” | speaking, Policeman Starling Mark- | ham. He and another cop, Robert Brinkham, had just entered the grocery and meat market owned by a Jew, Simon Cash, on Hastings | Street, near Erskine. They came in| to give the owner a ticket because | | he had his chicken coops protruding | six inches over the property line} onto the sidewalk. Cash was away | at the time and the only ones in the place were his son, Charles, a| | Student at Wayne University, and | another young Jew, David er, | who worked there as a butcher. At Markham's insulting fascist remarks, Meister replied that if the cop were not in uniform, he would |take him outside and show him what Hitler looked like. He also said that he would report both| | policemen for insulting the Jews. | The next day Markham~and! | Brinkham appeared again, wrote out another ticket and again in- uted the Tews, asking Meister how jhe liked Hitler now. Meister, | angercd, walked from behind the |meat counter, went to the fish | counter and picked up a plunger, a | stick about four feet long with a} rubber vacuum cap attached to it.

While the first three measures have received a great deal of dis- cussion from the teachers, the last bill which proposes to feed the children of the city at the expense of the unemployed for whom this sum was appropriated, is almost totally unknown to the teachers. The last session of the State Leg- ilsature passed a law making it mandatory for the Department of Welfare to appropriate sufficient funds for feeding and clothing needy children to keep them comfortably in school. No attempt has been made by the Joint Committee or any other organization to demand that it be put into effect. The representatives of the Joint Committee, Mrs. Anna R. Pettibone, Miss May A. Healy, Lillian | Hatch, Dr. Abraham Lefkowitz and William R. Lasher, chairman, were severely icized last winter by the teachers for their failure to or- ganize mass delegations of teachers to attend the session of the legis- lature where furloughs for teachers were finally passed whieh reduced their salaries.

Mr. McLevy is following in the foot-steps of the Roosevelt admin- istration in preparing severe attacks on the unemployed. In the January 6, Bridgeport Sunday Herald is flashed the line of the Socialist ad- ministration about “politicians who got soft jobs on relief,” and state- ments from Jasper McLevy threat- ening attacks against such “politi- cians,” which are in reality only made in order to hide the coming attacks against the relief workers, According to the Sunday Herald, “The city officials are determinea to change the system which gives to many families on relief a larger income than. is earned for longer hours by workers in factories and ether employment.” Average Relief $5.60 It is intececting to note that the average relief pay on city relief jobs is $5.60 a week for 3 days work, plus baskets of rotten food, in accord- Out of this small alowance workers must pay rent and their own gas bills. The F. E. R. A. workers on Federal jobs receive $12 for 3 days work, and some of the Federal food which is also far from being of the best possible quality. However, these payments seem to be too large for the Socialist ad- ministration, which speaks about the “cooperative commonwealth,” but in practice is putting into effect the Roosevelt administration’s pro- gram and establishing a united front with Governor Cross in the State legislature which will help stabilize the capitalists in the State of Connecticut at the expense of the workers. The Sunday Herald fur- ther states, “Investigation reveals that relief families get more than shop-workers who have put in a full N. R. A. week. Some of these fam- | ilies are workers who put in only three days a week and others have no part-time workers to work out their income with work relief.” Purthe-, the Herald states: “City , Officials will check up on factories By Andrew Overgaard and other employment rates. Then ance with the size of the families. | relief rates will be worked out so that the income will be no more than factory workers get.” This means that the F. E. R. A. $12 a week and $5.60 average city work relief will be still further cut. Mo- Levy's experts will figure out “So- cialist statistics” how $5.60 for 3) days and rotten baskets of food will be more than 3 days average pay received in sweat-shops and! speed-up ammunition factories. McLevy has therefore appointed a new Socialist-controlled Welfare Board which in the name of “So- cialism” will do the dirty work. The Herald states this characteristically in the following sentence: “These changes are bound to be reflected in lower welfare costs. The huge budget that the old welfare board passed on will be largely disregarded. This gives the tax-payers a break!” .. The Sunday Herald ends the item | | with the folowing: “Mayor McLevy is determined to end all forms of racketeering on relief. He is in back of the Welfare Board and the We!- fare Boa=d is in back of him.” While this worthy and represen- tative of the Socialist Party leader- ship, Jasper McLevy, is demagogic- | ally speaking about “racketeering in relief,” he is having a hazd job to whitewash another Socialist leader, the city clerk Fred Schwartz- kopf. Mr. Schwartzkopf is under charges for reeciving graft in the form of “loans” of nearly $500 “to buy himself an automobile” from | an insurance broker, This would not in itself be so terrible, but the | joker in the matter is that this | same insurance broker was awarded | a contract for the city by the same | Mr. Schwartzkopf. Even five So- cialist Party representatives voted in the Board of Alde-men to turn over this matter to the prosecuting attorney for action. Things Smell Bad Mr. McLevy is now attempting | to put his fellow Socialists in line, and have this “little matter” set aside. Things*smell bad in the | Socialist Party administration and in order to continue fooling the workers McLevy is taking lessons | from Franklin D.
