IhOAA ASopOCLlFG buOp5s
To all Shop Chairmen Of the Inter-
national Pocketbook Workers Union:
Fellow workers: The attention of the
joint board was called to the fact that
in number of shops, collections have
been made for the textile strikers Of
Passaic. While there can be no doubt
that the cause is a very worthy one
and deserving Of the support Of all
class conscious workers, it is never
theless contrary to the best interests
Of labor organization to permit any
collections to be made in the shops
without the consent of the organiza-
ton.
The joint board voted 500 from it's
treasury in response to the very first
appeal that came from the strikers,
and no doubt the joint board would be
only too glad to authorize the shop
cahirmen and bend every effort to
help win the just struggle of the strik-
ers If such a request were made.
You will therefore pdease take no
tice that at its last meeting the joint
board has reafirmed its decision to
permit no shop collections to be made
without permission from the office.
If your shop has already made such
a collection, you will please bring the
money with the subscription list to
the office so that your organization
may be credited with the work and
also that the responsibility for the
funds be centered in the organization
itself. We hope you will understand
that any other method of doing this
kind of work is bound to cause trouble
sooner or later.

Lengthy Accusation Is
Read at Secret Session
Especial to The Daily Worker


DETROIT, March 21-The lengthy
statement by Marcus Garvey, who is
now federal prisoner in Atlanta, Ca,
containing, a number Of serious
charges against William L. Sheriff.,
acting president-general, created quite
stir in one of the closed sessions
of the fifth international convention
Of the universal Negro Improvement
Association meeting here in Detroit
in extraordinary session.
Charges lntrIgues.
There are twenty-seven charges
leveled by Garvey against Sheriff..
The chief charges are that Sheriff.
carried on a policy of Implicitly and
intrigue against the Universal Negro
improvement Association and the
Black Cross steamship line and
against Garvey. Garvey accuses
Sheriff. Of using funds of the organ
ization to pay the back salaries of
the officers and of neglecting to use
the funds for the more urgent needs
Of the organization and the steamship
line.
Another charge leveled against
Sheriff. is that he acted in such a
manner as to put the steamship lines
in the hands of others. Garvey also
accuses Sheriff. of trying to under
mine the influence Of Mrs. Amy
Jacques Garvey, his wife and whom
he considered as his representative
during his incarceration. Sheriff. is
also accused of not visiting Garvey
in prison to take orders as to matters
Of policy in the organization and
when contracts were signed for the
Black Cross steamship line.
Carney Policy Not Carried Out.
Another charge that is made by
Carney is that Sheriff. did not carry
out the african program" of Garvey.
This latter charge seems to Indicate
that Sheriff. is tending to pay more
attention to the problems facing the
Negro in America which is contrary
to the policies of Garvey. Garvey's
policy has been one of catering to the
white ruling class by promising to
leave undisturbed all of the inequali-
ties and prosecutions of the Negro
workers and farmers in the United
States and to - md direct all atten-
ton to the utopian scheme for colon
izing Africa and in this way avoiding
all conflict with the American ruling

MAYAGUEz, Porto Rico, March FL.
-Mahatma Gandhl's slogan Of "civll
disobedience" has found its echo in
Porto Rico, where the nationalist
party has taken it up enthusiastically,
not in the original paclflst sense Of
Gandhi but as the best available
means at the disposal Of the Island
in its struggle to throw off the yoke
of the imperlalist rule of the United

Under the leadership Of its presi-
dent, Federico Acosta Velarde, the
party is carrying on a widespread
campaign to bring about the organi-
cation of constituent assembly which
shall form a government in the name
of the Republic of Porto Rico" right
in the face Of the United States
authorities. The Porto Rican people
are asked to ignore the proclamations
and regulations of the colonial ad-
ministration of Governor Towner, and
to refuse to pay taxes.
Appeal For independence.
AS already reported to the DAILY
WORKER, leaflets containing this
program have been distributed on the
streets Of San Juan, Ponce and Maya
guez during the last few days. The
official organ of the Nationalist Party,
''El Nacionalista de Ponce" prints the
following appeal to the Porto Rican
people:
1.-THE Immediate solution for our
woes: Porto Rican Independence
The method: Resignation Of all
colonial positions occupied by Porto
Ricans; calling, on the direct intla-
tive of the people, of the constltu-
ent Convention of the Republic Of
