little Caeser" Loses
More Glamor

Thousands of unemployed electrical
workers, members of Local 8, now
face steadily increasing hardships and
suffering while officials of their on
ganization and especially Internation-
al Vice-president, H. H. Broach, side
step the issue and avoid effective
action by passing pious resolutions.
So serious has the problem become
that Broach, Little Caesar" of the
building trades himself, has been
forced to take notice of the issue
after avoiding the problem for more
than six months.

At the last membership meeting Of
the union Thursday night resolu-

elect delegates from each building

mand upon the republican and DEM

be employed on all construction work
done by the city.
This resolution was introduced by

DEMAND ACTION

union MEMBERS
Criticise Officials For
Delay

Widespread indignation and bitter
ness which may result almost any
hour in a spontaneous walkout of the
workers on the Interborough lines
has followed the discharge by the /.
r. T. of workers because of union ac-
tivity. Such strike would be fol-
lowed Immediately by similar moves
of the employees of the B. M. 7. and
the surface lines and result in the
most general and effective tie-up in
the city's history.
''Strike For Defense"
Strike For Defense" was the slo-
gan raised at various terminals on the
Interborough lines. 1t is believed that
the workers have never been so
aroused by any single act of their
masters as they have been over the
discharge Thursday of seven of their
union brothers for having attended
the Wednesday night meeting at Har-
lem Casino.
The thousands of traction workers
who have been reading The DAILY
WORKER during the past year and
have followed its campaign to organ
ize this industry now understand the
truth of the reported statement: only
a strike will bring organization for
the traction workers.
To these thousands as well as the
thousands of others with whom they
come in contact, The DAILY WORK
ER wishes to. issue the following
warning at this critical hour in their
organization progress:
Must Act Now.
Whether there will be a union in
the traction industry in the next few
years depends very largely on what
the traction workers do in the next
few weeks. The efforts of the trac-
tion workers alone and no other power
can be relied upon. The most dan
gerous thing at this moment would
be to look for assistance from any
other direction.
For this reason the policy Of the
Amalgamated Association as an
nounced by Coleman, the policy of
waiting for Mayor Jimmie Walker to
return from his political tour in the
expectation that Walker will do any
thing is a fatal betrayal of the in
terests of the workers.
The traction workers, no matter
what their previous beliefs or politi-
cal connections must face the facts
squarely: Jimmie Walker, Al Smith
and others of the Tammany Hall ma
chine will do nothing for them. On
the contrary these agents of the trac-
tion interests will work to deceive and
sell them out. These officials have
met in secret conferences and have
made secret agreements with the trac-
tion companies to increase the fare
and to keep the workers unorganized.
This fact is now common knowledge

Der of the Political Committee of the
Workers (Communist) Party, and one
of the three leaders against whom
the government is attempting to rail-
road to the penitentiary, appealed to
the members to defend their paper.
"The severest blows are yet to
come" Bittelman warned. The pa
triotic organizations such as the Key
men of America and the Military Or
der of the World War are only the
eatspaws of the bosses who are be-
ing, used in the campaign to wreck
the American militant labor move
ment and stifle the voice of the Amer
lean workers."
$4,000 By Saturday.
Following Bittelman's appeal, A.
Ravitch, circulation manager of The
DAILY WORKER, took the platform
and called upon the meeting to raise
$4,000 by Saturday. He declared that
it is not enough simply to contribute
to the defense of the paper but they
must bend every effort to increase
the news stand sales and the readers
or the paper would be destroyed.
At the end of the meeting hundreds
of Resist the Attack on The DAILY

Dunno, who is out on $1,000 bail
as result of the attack which the
American capitalists thru their mill

any moment.
Pointing to the growing influence
of The DAILY WORKER among the
American workers, the increase of
militancy in the trade unions and the
fear of the bosses in the face of the
aggressive unemployment situation,
as causes which unlie the govern
ment's offensive, Dunno indicated the
danger which threatens the American
workers at this time if the bosses sue
ceed.
