STRIKE WAVE MOUNTS THROUGHOUT THE U.S. A. Rubber Plant Workers Out National Match Strike! Looms—Pickets Mass at South Bend Mili CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 0. — Two thousand police were called back from furlough to protect scabs in the strike of truck drivers. ‘The drivers, it was reported, are organized in the Chicago Teamsters Union. Milton Booth, Jr., head of this union, said that 1,600 drivers are on strike. They are demanding $7 a day instead of six dollars. Po- iiee are riding the coal trucks. Ohio Striker Wounded WILLOUGHBY, Ohio, Feb. 20.— Another striker was injured by 2 deputy sheriff today in the strike here of 900 workers in the Ohio Rubber Company plant. Russel Barnes, the injured striker, was struck in the stomach by a tear gas gun when gunmen protecting strikebreakers attacked the picket line. The strikers defended themselves against both gunmen and strike- breakers with a barrage of bricks. The strike called by the United Rubber Workers Union of the A. F. of L., climaxed a breakdown of ne- gotiations which have been drag- ging since last July. The strikers are demanding abolition of the com- pany union, recognition of their A. F. of L. union and observance of seniority rights. Oliver Plant Strike SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb, 20.—| The mass picket line thrown around the Oliver Farm Equipment Com- pany has kept out all scabs for 21 days. The fight for union recog- nition has aroused the working class of South Bend. On the picket line are to be found the workers of the Studebaker and Bendix plants. The Central Labor Union turned | down a proposal to pay $280 for radio time for a William Green| broadcast and voted to turn the) money over to the strikers for food | and coal. The Bendix Local alone handed over a chack for $1,000. Arbitration schemes cooked up by the mayor, a Polish priest, a priest from Notre Dame, and the Regional Labor Board representatives, were turned down by the strikers. The employers then formed an Anti- Communist League and the Mayor promised the strikers his help if oniy they “would drive out the Communists.” This red scare was laid low not only by the Commu- nist Party but also by the A. F. of L, paper of South Bend. Match Strike Looms BARBERTON, Ohio, Feb. 20.—A nationwide match strike became probable as all unions affiliated with the newly organized National Match Workers Council voted that body authority to call a strike if nego- tiations with the companies fail. There is no indication at present that the companies will back down from their position of refusing to deal with the unions. Permission to take the strike vote was previ- ously requested and granted by the American Federation of Labor. WHAT’S ON Allentown, Pa.

FERRUARY 21. 1935 Calls All Seamen To Join and Build Union Big International Seamen’s Union Pointing owt that the seamen have won an important victory im forcing the shipowners to sign union agreements, the Marine Workers’ In- dustrial Union yesterday issued an appeal for the merging of all seamen’s forces into one powerful union, the International Seamen's Union, and for an immediate ree! ing drive The full statement follows: To all locals and members of the International Sea- men’s Union, To all locals of the Marine Workers’ Union, To all Ship Delegates and Ship Committees, To all Seamen, Brothers: In forcing the shipowners, for the first time sinee 1921, to recognize a seamen’s union and sign agreements, the seamen, although not yet strongly organized and united, have taken an important step forward. Thousands of seamen have joined the International Seamen’s Union and the Marine Workers’ Industrial Union, and through organized militant action have forced the shipowners to rec- ognize the International Seamen's Union, to nego- tiate agreements on the West Coast, and to sign agreements in the East and Gulf that partially meet the demands of the seamen for improved wages_and working conditions. The present agreement and negotiation must be used as a stepping stone to greater victories. Build- ing a powerful rank and file union to enforce the agreements in the East, to prepare for better agree- ments, and to win the best possible terms in the West is the most important immediate step to safe- guard the immediate and future interests of the seamen, Industrial Merger Proposed The Marine Workers’ Industrial Union in this situation, in December, proposed a merger with the International Seamen’s Union for the purpose of immediately strengthening the ranks of the seamen. and, by establishing one union, make it possible to organize the unorganized seamen 100 per cent into the International Seamen’s Union. These proposals met with an immediate re- sponse from the seamen. But the officials of the International Seamen's Union opposed every effort to achieve unity, accomplish the merger and build @ powerful International Seamen’s Union. They have attacked the merger proposals as plots of the “reds” to destroy the I. S. U, The “American Sea- men,” which has the official endorsement of the I. 8. U. officials, is opposed to admitting the mem- bers of the M. W. I. U. into the I. 8. U. through a merger, but prints editorials urging the admittance of strike-breakers, Through such actions these officials have not only prevented the strengthening of the I. S. U., but they have also confused the unorganized. By arbitrarily increasing the initiation fees, by refusing to make provisions for the unemployed, and by re- fusing to conduct a struggle against the shipping shark and for all hiring throngh the nnion hall the organization of the unorganized has been made more difficult. The actions of these officials do not reflect the marine workers’ will for unity. This is proved by the thousands of seamen, members of the I. S. U. and unorganized, who endorsed the M. W. I. U. unity proposals. The endorsement of the merger proposals by West Coast I. L. A. locals shows that the establishment of one union of all seamen will strengthen the united front of seamen, longshore- men and teamsters. The concessions won in the agreement are en- dangered by the failure to achieve unity and or- ganize the nnorganized. In all industries the employers, with Roosevelt’s full support, are launching a drive against bona fide unions, This is to be seen in President Roosevelt's decision upholding the Auto Labor Board. The plans of the shipowners can be seen in the recent injunction in New York which would forbid the united action of longshoremen, truckers and sea- men. This injunction, if enforced, would mean the crushing of the Teamsters’ Union and would be the opening gun in smashing the other unions in the marine industry! In the face of this challenge the M. W. I. U., despite the refusal of the I. S. U. leaders to negoti- ate an organized merging of our forces, calls upon all its members to join the I. S, U. and build it into a powerful union with the same energy and devotion with which we worked to build the M. W. I. U. In taking this step we are inspired by our desire to build a strong union of seamen, to fight against the shipowners’ attacks, and also by the knowledge that the masses of the I. S. U. rank and file are in agreement with our aims. Members of the International Seamen’s Union— let us join together in building a powerful Interna- tional Seamen’s Union. You must help achieve unity by making it possible for every bona fide seaman to join the I. 8, U. Fight against the efforts of the officials to bar militant workers from membership because of their past strike activities or because of their nationality or political opinions. Every seaman willing to join and help build the TI. S. U. and fight for union conditions must be wel- comed. .. . Insist upon launching a mass recruiting campaign that will rally the unorganized seamen to the banner of unionism. Declare for an open charter and the reduction of initiation fees which will encourage the organization of tens of thou- sands of seamen. As the opening gun in the drive for 100 per cent unionization and to compel the shipowners to hire only union men the M. W. I. U. recommengs an im- mediate campaign of mass recruitment and that every unemployed seaman should be issued tem- porary membership cards and registered for ship- ping by turn out of the I. S. U. hall. Unorganized seamen—join the International Sea- men’s Union and help build it into a powerful mili- tant union, NATIONAL COMMITTEE, MARINE WORKERS’ INDUSTRIAL UNION. U.S.OpensTrial Of 16 Jobless In Oklahoma Demonstration Called ‘Attempt Against Government” OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Feb. 20.—The trial of sixteen workers arrested here May 21 when police attacked a food demonstration opened in the Federal Circuit Court yesterday before Federal Judge Ed S. Vaught. They charged with | ‘attempting to overthrow the gov- | | etmment by force,” and “interfering with government employees.” Selection of the jury occupied the Sreater part of the dav, after Judge Vaught had overruled a motion for dismissal of the case, made by J.| ©. Cooke, International Labor De- | fense attorney. While permitting the prosecution to challenge pros- | pective jurors for membership in the Unemployment Councils, Judze Vaught denied the defense the right to ask if they were members of | the Chamber of Commerce. Protests against this attack on the struggles of the unemploved for relief should be rushed to Federal |Judge Vaught, Federal Circuit Court, Federal Building, Oklahoma City, Okla Raps Roosevelt Declaring that President Roose- velt’ has delivered the rights of | wage-earners into the hands of em- ployer-controlled boards, a resolu- |tion emphatically protesting the President's act was unanimously adopted at a general membership meeting of the New York News- paper Guild Tuesday night. The resolution, to be sent to Roosevelt, also calls for a mass| meeting of protest against the Roosevelt order, which, it says, vir- tually establishes a system of com- |pulsory arbitration. Roosevelt's or- | der referred to, had the effect of | |nullifying a National Labor Rela- | tions Board decision ordering the | reinstatement of Dean S. Jennings, newspaperman fired by a San Fran- cisco Hearst paper for Guild ac- | tivity. | The Guild also entered the fight against Hearst’s anti-labor cam- | | paign by endorsing Guild collabor- | | ation in the formation of a national | Federation for the Integrity of Public Information, initiated by educator victims of Hearst’s lie campaign.

The resolutions point to the neces- sity of preparing for the gigantic strike struggles developing in auto, steel, mining and textile, and calls for membership and activity in the | A. F. of L. Unions of every eligible Y.Cler. “Inside the A, F. of L. every Y.C.Ler should work like a real trade unionist,” the resolution | &Ta declares. ‘He should think of the union as his union and work to build and strengthen it. He should work to win his local and whole union for rank and file policies.” ‘The resolution, dealing with many other important points, follows: ane ie The National Committee of the Young Communist League, U.S.A., at enlarged session, declares its full agreement with the political posi- tion of our Communist Party as stated in the resolution of its Cen- tral Committee of January 18th. This resolution correctly estimates the changes in the country, the in- creased worsening of the conditions of the masses, and the need for the greatest unity of all toilers in behalf of their immediate needs, Concretely this unity much be achieved in the struggle for mass united trade unions, for the united front of So- cialist and Communist workers, and for the building of a labor party which will unite the workers as a class for independent political ac-— tion against eapitalism. United Front | if the masses of youth are to defeat ment around a militant program of | minimum demands, is of great polit- ical significance. It is an indication of the growing militancy of Amer- ican youth and their desire and readiness to struggle unitedly for their immediate needs. | The Y.C.L. will continue to aid) and help broaden this movement. | The main concern of the Y.C.L, and | all class conscious youth, is to make | gress and its program shall remain true to the interests of the oppressed | masses, particularly the working | class youth; and second, that the masses of youth shall be drawn into ACTIVITY in behalf of this pro- | m. This becomes all the more urgent | the latest attacks directed against them, as seen in the activities of Roosevelt to harness the youth or- ganizations to his program through a Federal Youth Service; in the | steps taken to double the number of | youth in the C. C. C. camps and to militarize them; and in the ap- prenticeship plans of the Depart- ment of Labor which if carried into life will mean a drastic worsening | of the conditions of youth labor. These attacks are intimately con- nected with the attempt of the gov- ernment and employers to destroy the trade unions and other workers’ organizations as part of their drive towards war and fascism. To extend the united front of youth it is necessary to (1) broaden the working class base of the youth congress movement by drawing into it the unions of the A. F. of L.; (2) immediately popularize the program of the youth congress among the youth in the A. F. of L. unions, Settlement Houses, Ys, church or- ganizations, C. C. C. camps and | special demands and needs. Y. ©. Ler becomes an active mem- ber in the trade union of his in- dustry or craft. In shops where no unions exist as yet, our comrades should take the initiative to build same. An idealogical campaign must be started to teach every member why he should join a union and how he should work in same. (a) Inside the A. F. of L. every Y. C. Ler should work like a real ‘sure that the American Youth Con-| trade-unionist. He should think of | the union as his union and work to build and strengthen it. He should work to win his local and whole union for rank and file poli- cies. This should not be done by establishing so-called “oppositions,” | but by setting up rank and file com- mittees to organize the unorganized, to build the union and to fight the policies of the burocracy. (b) In the locals our comrades should work to create youth com- | mittees and youth sections as me- | diums of organizing and activizing the youth in the union around their The ned for youth forms and methods should be placed before the work- ers logically as flowing from the very needs of the union and work- ers as a whole. In steel and auto these are necessary to help organ- ize the unorganized youth into the union. In mining they are neces- sary to draw youth to union meet- ings and into activity in prepara- tion for the April Ist struggles. In these industries union baseball leagues and sport clubs should also be formed, as well as children’s auxiliaries. Organizations of Youth (c) Where company unions exist we should work within these and where possible transform them into aim must be: Every Y. C. Ler an | active worker in an important mass organization, (b) In these organizations our comrades should work to win the majority of youth for the program of the American Youth Congress and that of the Youth Section of | the American League against War and Fascism and to establish com- mittees to work for their practical | realization. Instead of establishing | narrow “progressive” or “radical” | clubs, our comrades should work in| | the existing organized groups, par- | ticipating in all the activities of | the majority of youth, accepting | responsible posts, helping to edit | Papers and in all other respects | working to become recognized lead- ers of these masses. | Work in the C.C.C, Camps ; ©) In the process of making | friends, of winning supporters for | the united front program, our com~ rades must consciously work to re- cruit into the Y.C.L. The YOUNG | WORKER should be sold among these youth and where possible our | ¥. C. L, units should issue special | papers for these organizations. In every organization our members | must first of all concentrate their attention on the young workers in | important industry, so that through | our work in these organizations we can strengthen our influence and | organization in the shops. d) Responsible leading comrades | should be placed in charge of guid- | ing work in specific organizations.

Second, is the attention to the units, fractions and section commit- tees—to their education and de- velopment. A system of educating the whole membership in the teach- ings of Marx-Lenin-Stalin is neces- sary throughout the League. Of spe- cial importance is the training of our membership in the understand- ing of Party policies and the build- ing of a strong Party core within the League which fights all oppor- tunist. tendencies, especially count- er-revolutionary Trotzkyism. Every young worker who joins the Y.C.L, must immediately be drawn into active work. There is no more responsible task for the unit and section buros than to activize their membership. To help in this | direction, the unit as a body should act upon every application and de- termine the right to membership and also feel directly responsible for drawing the new members into the life of the League. In the process of intensifying the work in the shops, trade unions and mass organizations, we must double the recruiting of young workers for the Y.C.L. This together with the necessary education and activity to reduce the turn-over in the ranks of the League will enable us to carry | out our goal of 12,000 Y.C.L. mem- bers by the time of the Sixth Con- gress of the Y.C.I.
