The problem of farm relief started in
prehistoric times, when the patient

the masterful huntsman. The present

was even necessary to curb the
enthusiasm of some workers who
wanted to come out Immediately in
some shops, so as to wait a few days
for better organizational strength
by concentrating in certain sections.
The 21st cafeteria owner to settle
with the union signed an agreement
yesterday. This was the Savoy, 18th
st. and Fifth Ave. There are now
525 workers VINO have gained union
conditions because of the strike.
Negotiations are under way with
several other owners.
There were fewer arrests yester-
day than on any day since the strike
began on April A. 10 strikers were
taken from the picket line, most of
them from the five places struck to-
day, and arraigned in Jefferson Mar
ket Court on a charge of disorderly
conduct. One fight occurred at the
Melrose when private detectives at
tackled the pickets. Eight others
were arraigned in the Second Avenue
Court. All cases were adjourned ex-

Thousands of leaflets are now be-

is expected to be issued soon, follow

YWL- CONVENTION
ADOPTS THESIS
Organization Report Is
Given by Darcy

The Fifth National Convention of
the Young Workers (Communist)
League resumed its activities yes
terday at 11:30 a. m. at the Work
ers Center, 1928 Union So, when
the report on organization work was
rendered by Sam Darcy.
Darcy stated that the basic tasks
in organization work remained the
proletarianization of the League and
the winning of the Negro youth, as
we'll as the building of shop nuclei.
In respect to ORIGINATING the League
towards factory work, he said, prog
ress could be recorded, but so far
as the actual organizational build
ing of units in the factories was
concerned, the League was still as
backward as in 1926 and 1927.
The National and District Execu-
tive Committees, he said, had for
the past few years, succeeded in
achieving the organization of from
fifty to seventy-five shop nuclei in
the various parts of the country.
Because of the bad methods of work,
practically all of these nuclei had
been lost.
Learned From Struggles.
The most important lessons that
the League had learned were those
arising from it's participation in the
mass struggles in New Bedford and
Fall River, in Passaic, the miners
strike, etc. Chief among these les
sons were that bad recruiting meth
DDS, which resulted in bringing large
numbers of workers into the League
during the course of the strike, but
who lost them Immediately after be-
cause the organizers were with
drawn as soon as the strike ended.

1000 DRIVERS
STRIKE MAY |
$3.50, 100000 Build ing
Program Tied Up

Over one thousand chauffeurs,
yardmen, and helpers walked out on
strike Wednesday morning stopping
the delivery of building material in
Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and
Long Island. The employers admit
that the strike ties up work on a
building program valued at $780,
100000.
The demands Of the strikers are
recognition of the union, So per day
for chauffeurs and 81 day for
yardmen and helpers. The union also
demands one dollar an hour for over
time and double pay for Sunday and
holiday York. Present wages are for
chauffeurs $3S to SAP and for yard
men and helpers $50 weekly.
Several conferences were already
held with the Mason Building Mate
rials Association, which represents
many of the employers but until late
last night announcement at union
headquarters were that there were
no new developments which would
indicate a settlement.
Although there has been thus far
no attempt to introduce strikebreak-
ers, some of the bosses warned that
they would try to resume deliveries
today under police protection.
Martin T. Lacey, secretary-treas-
urer of Local SIG, Brotherhood of
Transfers, which is the union con-
Quoting the strike, announced that
three hundred new members had
been taken into the local since the
strike was called, increasing the
total number out to 1900.

flags and expensive flowers and a
few red drapings which, less they
should be mistaken for red banners,
were covered with huge golden stars,
President Zaritsky introduced Will
lam Collins, American Federation
organizer-betrayer of the Tennessee
textile workers, Reverend Norman
Thomas, Jacob Panken, Aaron
Weingard and B. c. Vladek, of the
Yellow Forward.
In spite of the flowery introduc-
tions of Chairman Zaritzky and the
oratorical efforts of the speakers to
arouse enthusiasm about May Day
as they saw it, the audience, that
part of it which was sitting down,
remained coolly indifferent. Tie
rest, the greater part, were congre-
gated in little groups about the hall
talking about the whoopee they were
going to make that night upon the
invitation of the socialist party in
"honor" of May Day, or about the
topic for the moment officially ig-
nored, the Left wing delegates.
Local 43 Arrives.
The climax, so far as lack of at
tention was concerned, came while
Norman Thomas was proclaiming
the socialist party the political par
ty of the workers. Local 43 had ar
rived en- masse just then to escort
to the convention its delegates and
the other expelled members appeal
ing the actions of the General
Executive Board.
Altho kept out on the street by
convention officials and by the po-
lice, the songs and slogans of To-
cal AZ members penetrated through
the walls and closed windows Of the
hall into the convention. Zaritzky
had to pound his gavel again and
again to get or1er, but without
avail.
Only at the end of Thomas
speech, when the chairman an
nounced that photographs were to
be taken and that all those who
wished to be in these pictures had
to sit down, was order procured.
After this every speaker was fol-
lowed with the taking of a photo
graph so as to keep respectful at
tention.

ton with the Communist Party, he
continued, the strengthening of the
League apparatus and League disci-
pine, and the enlivening of the
inner life of the League, were
also extensively dealt with.
Darcy also outlined certain
methods of work for overcoming the
large fluctuation of membership in
the ranks of the League.
Delegates Discuss Report.
Following the report there was
an extensive discussion in which
seventeen speakers participated.
The acceptance of the report of
Herbert Fam and the thesis on the
position of the young workers and

ried unanimously.

Negroes. In the U. 5. A. the Com
munist influence among the Negro
masses was as yet weak but, his
torically the C.. P. had become the
Party of Negro masses as well as
the white workers.
Juliet Poyntz, speaking for the
l, L. D., reviewed the various fight
ing elements that went to make up
the May Day demonstration-the
cafeteria strikers, the young work
ers, women workers, Negro work
ers, Southern strikers, and others,
who were led in all their struggles
by the C. P, by the T. U. E. L. and
the |. l.. D.
Louis Hyman, head of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Industrial
Union, who was greeted by the sing
ing of Solidarity Forever" told Of
the betrayals of the socialist party,
showing that the socialist police in
Berlin were more reactionary in the
attempts to suppress May Day dem
onstrations than even the Kaiser's
government had been. The workers
would get rid of these traitors, he
said, just as they had rid them
selves of their Kaisers.
Red Banner of Communism.
Olgin, editor of the Freiheit, who
spoke in the name of the Jewish
Communist workers, hurled their de-
fiance in the face of the capitalist
class and their government. On this
May Day, he said, the workers for
the first time marched under the red
banner of Communism in the streets
of the greatest city of the foremost
imperialist power. Throughout the
country the wave of struggle was
growing, while workers in every
great city of the world, and especi-
ally in the Soviet Union, were
marching in solidarity.
Pat Toohey, secretary of the Ma
tional Miners Union, and Fred
Biedenkapp, organizer of the shoe
workers union, greeted the thous-
ands of workers in the names of
their unions, and pledged their Or
CARNATIONS to greater militancy in
the fight against the reformist trail
tors and for the Left wing program.
The following cablcgram was
sent to the workers of the Soviet
Union by the United Front Com
mittee and the Communist Party
which arranged the May Day pa
rade and the celebration in the
Coliseum:
Between forty and fifty thOus-
ands workers participated in New
York's May Day demonstration.
Twenty five Thousand paraded de-
spite rain, auspices the Commun-
list Party, supported by many
unions, southern textile strikers,
Negro organizations. Send greet
ings to world proletariat. Thru
the Communist International and
the Russian proletariat and thru
the Communist Party of the Sow
let Union, we pledge solidarity in
struggle against imperialist war,
social reformism, for the defense
of the Soviet Union, for the In
dian revolution, also to the Red
International of Labor Unions, the
Communist International and for
the world Soviet republic"
