SCORE BETRAYAL BY TRADE UNION COUNCIL LEADERS
WHO INJURED SOVIET UNION WORKERS AND PEASANTS

eral Council leaders to the anti-So-
Wet campaign raised by the venal
bourgeois press. To say nothing
about the danger Of war, not to tell
the workers about the significance
Of the Anglo-Soiet rupture, not to
pillory Chamberlain's foreign policy
while at the same time joining with
all the black hundreds on the ques-
ton Of the so-called fred terror" is
the General Councils general plat
form. Such tactics cannot be con-
sidered other than a treacherous at
tempt to smash the Anglo-Russian
Committee.
In the name of ten million organ
lied workers Of the Soviet Union, the
All-Union Council of Trade Unions
deems it its direct duty to loudly pro-
claim the danger to peace. The coun-
ell considers that all of the honest
representatives of the British work
ers must ruthlessly brand the Grim
inal, bandit and arrogantly provoca-
tive policy of Baldwin's conservative
government.
Only the blind can fail to see that
England is preparing war against
the Soviet Union, entering an agree
ment with fascist Italy, mobilizing
the forces of reaction, enlisting allies
and yearning for repetition of the
horrors of intervention, fighting to
bring about another blockade Of the
Soviet Union and ruin the workers
and peasants state.
Must Stop War.
The realization of this monstrous
scheme to wreck the Chinese revolu-
ton and launch a bloody attack
against the Soviet Union must be
prevented at all costs. War must be
prevented. The proletariat must not
be taken unawares.
Calls For Struggle.
The All-Union Central Council
states again that It deems it abso-
lutely inadmissible that at such an
acute moment the Anglo Russian
Committee should be silent and re-
main inactive. The Anglo-R Russian
Committee must be one of the CEN
tiers for the mobilization Of prole-
tartan opinion, and must put forward
measures for carrying on the strug-
gle against the imperialist onslaught.
Placing the entire blame for the
policy of sabotaging the Anglo-Rus-
sian Council on the General Council
the All Union Central Council Of
Trade Unions calls upon all British
and Soviet workers to struggle
against capital for a defeat of the
forces trying to bring about new
imperialist war.

HarbOr Workers Win
Compensation From
y. S. After Struggle

WASHINGTON, June 80 (FP).
All navigable areas of the continental
United States have been divided into
IA compensation districts for the adj
ministration Of the Longshopemen's
and Harbor Workers compensation
act. Instructions have been sent to
all stevedoring firms and insurance
companies on how to comply with the
provisions of the law, which becomes
effective July /.
For the first time cargo workers
are given compensation protection.
State laws seeking to protect them
have been declared unconstitutional on
the ground that such maritime work
comes under federal jurisdiction AZ
ter a long, hard fight. labor forced
Congress in the last session to pass a
compensation act. Longshoring and
stevedoring are among the most haz-
ardous occupations in all industry.

conditions in Port of New YO-The Decline of the Seamen
acknowledgement UnempOyment-The Slaves.

New York City is the largest port
In the world, both in size and in the
extent of shipping entering and leay-
ing daily. Besides the gigantic liners
which are constantly in the public
eye, and whose arrivals and de-
partures are daily listed in all the
newspapers, the port is crowded with
the freighters, the backbone of the
shipping industry, bringing cargoes
from all parts Of the world to provide
industry with the goods necessary
for its existence. The average
worker little realizes the importance
of New York as a seaport, and pays
very little attention to the condition
of those men who toll on the ships,
the seamen.
During the war and the period i'm
mediately following, American ship
Ping was at it's height. Great Brit
aims shipping was being crippled by
the German submarine warfare, and
the United States by tremendous
shipbuilding drive was rivalling Eng
land as the foremost maritime power
1t was during this period that the
American seamen were able to de-
naand wages and conditions which
made their existence the best COM
pared with that Of any other seamen
in the world.
Seamen's Union Declines.
However their prosperity wa
ehortlived. In 1921 came the big
strike in which the backbone of the
Seamen's organizations was broken.
AT the present time their organiza-
tions are practically powerless. The
International Seamen's Union which
at one time was able to dictate its
terms to the shipowners is now on
It's last legs. Ruled over by the re-
dictionary and bureaucratic Andy
Furuseth it has lost every vestige Of
fighting spirit and consequently the
confidence of the seamen who have
quit the organization in disgust. No
attempt is made to organize the sail
ors and firemen whose conditions are
daily becoming more miserable.
Wages have been reduced from an
average of IS dollars to IS dollars
per month. Food, never at the best
very good, has become as bad as
prison fare. Sleeping quarters are
crowded and unclean, pay for over
time has practically disappeared.
Taking advantage Of the weakness of
the seamen the ship owners have
taken away every concession which
was won during the war period.
At present unemployment has
helped to make the lot Of the seamen
even more miserable. Walk along
South Street, New York's saltiest
thoroughfare and you viii find the
avenue crowded with seamen thrown
ont Of work, some of them on the
beach for months, and many of them
destitute and hungry and on the
verge of starvation.

Coolidge Thinks of

WASHINGTON, June 20 OPP. =
President Coolidge has been given an
opportunity to pronounce formal
benediction on the south's anti-union
industrial policy. President John Z.
Edgerton of the National Association
Of Manufacturers has invited him to
attend the Chattanooga Convention

form of American Industry, postu-
lated on hostility to all trade unions,
will be adopted.

Khan Chances for Radio
To Broadcast American
Propaganda Pretty Slim

WASHINGTON, June 20 (FP).-
Efforts of the Ku Klux Khan to estab-
lish a national radio station in Wash
ington to broadcast patriotic, protes-
tant, American" propaganda are prac-
tically doomed to failure. The federal
radio commission has told the Fellow
ship Forum, khan organ, that 500
prior applications for wave lengths
are on file with little hope for grant
ing any of them.
The Forum has sponsored a cam
paign to raise $500 for the station,
to operate on 10000 watts, placing it
among the most powerful in the coun-
try. Scores of khan chapters have con-
tributed to the fund which now totals
$4,000.

repeated propositions to the Central
Council of Trade Unions.
However, the General Council of
Trade Unions deferring it's covoca-
ton under various pretexts system
atically avoids submitting for the dis
cussion Of the Anglo Russian Com
mittee the most important questions
over which Soviet as we'll as British
workers are anxious.
Workers Of the Soviet Union have
watched with the greatest sympathy
the struggle of British workers
against their capitalists. On behalf
of the workers Of the Soviet Union,
the All-Union Central Council of
Trade Unions offered fraternal aid
to British workers engaged in the
general strike.
Betrayed General Strike.
Did the general council take steps
to rally proletarian forces against
the attack of capital? No, it did not.
With the assistance and the conniv-
ance of the right wing and cleft"
leaders of the general council, the
British workingclass was pressed in
the clutches of the police and the
Trade Union Act.
Did the general council ever take
any steps to prevent the attack of
British imperialism on the Chinese
revolution? No, the general council
did not.
No Protest on ARGOS Raid.
Did the general council take any
measure to censure Chamberlain's
provocative note to the Soviet govern
ment? Did the general council inter-
vene when the ARGOS offices were
raided in London? Did it call the
Anglo-Russian Committee at the time
of the Anglo-Soviet rupture? No,
the general council did nothing of
the sort.
The policy of the General Council
virtually aimed to wreck the Anglo
Russian Committee and to liquidate
it as an organ of British and Soviet
workers.
Holding the liquidation of the Ang-
lo-Russian Committee as harmful to
the cause of international labor unity,
the All-Union Central Council of
Trade Unions regards the open and
yelled attempt of the leaders of the
General Council to smash the Anglo
Russian Committe as tantamount to
an open betrayal of the class inter
ests of the proletariat and treachery
to the workers Of the Soviet Union.
Sided With White Guards.
However, the General Councils
only political reply to the All-Union
Central Councils proposition to call
the Anglo-Russian Committee to dis
cuss the most important question for
the struggle was telegram protest
ing against the actions of the work
ers state against white guard spies
who waged campaign of terrorism
against the Soviet Union.
The adoption by the General Coun-
Gil of the resolution condemning the
shooting of open enemies of the
working class, Of terrorists and in
cendiaries who from behind the cor
ners shot the representatives of the
proletariat and by terrorist methods
attempted to restore the old regime,
hated by the workers and peasants
of the Soviet Union, is as matter
of fact a direct insult to the workers
and peasants of the USSR and means
the shameful rallying of the Gen.

CHICAGO, June 29.-The move
ment to send national labor dele
cation to Gov. Fuller who will call
for the immediate release of Sacco
and Vanzetti is taking definite form.
At a last meeting of the Chicago
Sacco-Vanzetti Conference held Mon
day it was decided to send kilograms
to all leading central labor unions in
the country urging them to support
the movement for the labor delega-
ton, and to select delegates to repre-
sent them.
The International Labor Defense
has informed all its units of the de-
cision of the Chicago conference, and
has instructed its members to work
for early action in the central labor
unions.

Slaves OF South Street.

kDAaFNS vi DUuAh oAANNA@
1t is on this street running along
the East River that the infamous
banana docks of the United Fruit
Company are located And it is from
the hopeless and half starved work
ers that crowd South Street that this
company recruits the gangs to I'M
load its ships. Speeding up the
workers by means of the latest
machinery and driving them merci-
lessly by means of brutal foremen,
this company is reaping enormous
profits by the relentless exploitation
of South Streets army Of unem-
ployed. The United Fruit Company
has always taken the lead in fighting
any attempts at organizing the sea-
men and is the first to take advan-
tage of their weakness in order to
impose worse conditions. It has al
ready instituted the two watch sys-
tenn for sailors on deck which is
equivalent to a twelve hour day.
There is no limit to which the ship
owners will go in exploiting the sea-
men unless there is some organized
force to, stop them. 1t is only by
meeting the attacks of this highly or
ganized and merciless group of
profit seekers by the combined force
of all those who man the ships and
unload them on the docks, that the
seamen will be able to demand con-
ditions that will ensure them de-
cent standard of living.

Guards Abuse Scabs.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 29.-Sav-
age tactics by Pittsburgh Coal Co.'s
coal and iron police against even
strikebreakers, and bitter exploitation
and discrimination against the Negro
miners, inveigled into scabbing is
proved by the following letter taken
from Negro paper in Pittsburgh.
1t is written by resident of that city,
and is, in part, as follows:
Something for Race Miners To
Look At.
| The Pittsburgh Coal Company is
doing the same as most corporations
do after the strike is well on. They
failed to pay the price for mining
rock. They will not give you full
weight; they will not give you good
houses to live in, and will not let YOU
make over $4,000 a pay for loading
coal, unless you work day and night.
Lots of men wait from one to three
days for a cut after they clean up.
Lots of times you get two cars by
II a. M; lots of times you sit in the
mine waiting on the man trip and
then walk out; lots Of times the pit
bosses fail to turn in all of YOUR
time, and you wait from one to three
pay days to get all of your day work.
But the company never fails to get
the blacksmith, doctor fee, relief fund
and store bill. / have seen lots of
men beg for little credit for powder
and supplies so they could go into the
pit. When the company hires men in
another city they tell them they can
have full set of tools. When you get
on the job they give you one pick,
one shovel, lamp, cap, powder and
dinner bucket and tell you to go on
/ in.
No Money In Scabbing.
The boss in the mine gives you
room with four to II inches of water.
sometimes a driper thrown in-no
pay. Or he gives you room with two
cars Of coal by squaring up good and
day or day and a half of rock.
Sometimes you lose a car Of coal on
the road. Cars that will go 5000
pounds you may get 5000 to 1890
pounds. When your rack shows 16
inches in the center and 10 inches on
the sides the boss will tell you it is
not enough to measure this time. You
talk to the superintendent and he
will give you promise, that's all.
When you go to the office and see the
timekeeper he snaps at you like mad
dog.
After Miners Wives.
Then too, you have the imported
gunner, known as Coal and Iron
Police in day time and on sight, UNI
less a colored woman is willing to
bow to his insults, and you are will
ing to be driven around. Then you
will be sent out of camp. Sometimes
they tell you to get out in two hours.
One man knocked a Coal and Iron
policeman in the head for insulting
his wife. One Of our foolish race
men saved the Coal and Iron police
man by hitting the race miner and
swapping his gun in his face.
know Of a race man who was dis
charged for voicing his sentiments
and standing by this mans home to
see that no more Coal and Iron police
lnsulted this mans wife. The super
intendent told this lady's husband he
would not stand for him hitting
man like that and he could get his
time.
The general manager told me that
If the colored men we're that tinlid
about their wives II would be better
to get another place for them TO
