on Farm "Relief''

WASHINGTON, D. c., June o.
Hoover's national claw enforcement
commission" has completed its pre-
liminary organization conference
and adjourned until June 18. In
the interval the secretarial staff will
gather official records from widely
scattered sources, with the object
Of Strengthening commission mo-
lions for changes in the federal
statutes to make it easier to frame
up labor leaders in the courts, to
deprive defendants of part of their
right of trial by jury and to cen
tralize and militarize the secret
service and coast guard service.
More comprehensive application
of all forms of anti-working class
machinery was demanded by Hoover
in his original Claw enforcement
proposals. Spies, federal officers
and armed cutters can be added to
the military service when the i'm
pending imperialist war breaks
Meanwhile, the strengthened service
can be used against strikers.
Secret sessions of the commission

SHOE BOSS loses
INJUNCTION PLEA
Mass Meet Is Called for
Thursday Eve

The bosses of the Bender Shoe
Company, 4th St. and Broadway,
Brooklyn, against which the indie
pendent Shoe Workers Union is
now conducting strike, have lost
their application for a temporary
injunction to restrain picketing be-
fore their shop.
So rabid and preposterous were
the charges made against the strik-
ers before Judge Valenti in supreme
court Friday that even that faithful
servant of the employers refrained
from granting me application.
About 100 workers are striking in
the Bender place, and picketing con-
tinues regularly despite the intimi-
dation of the police.
Fred Biedenkapp, general man.
ager of the shoe workers organiza-
ton, last night announced that a
mass meeting of the union would
be held at Arcadia Hall, 918 Halsey
St, Brooklyn, this Thursday eve
ming, June IS, where reports on &C
tivities and struggles of the union
will be given.
Speakers will include, besides

OUT TRANSFERS
Lacey Orders Men to
Return to Work

Telling the men to go back to
work "and deal individually with
the employers" Martin Lacey, man
ager of Local ZIG of the Brother
hood of Chauffeurs Saturday called
off the strike of 500 workers in his
organization.
The strikers, who have been out
for nearly two months, consist of
building material drivers and yard
men.
Follows a Deal.
Whether this treachery on the
part of Lacey, % well-known bureau
crat if the A. F. of L., resulted from
a deal with the union officials di-
rectly, or was the result of orders
from the officialdom Of the Build
ing Trades Council, is not certain,
but individual strikers yesterday
characterized the order as a rank
sell-out.
Originally, 1900 workers struck
but several hundred of them had al
ready returned to work, following
victories over individual bosses.
Deserted Striker.
Lacey's anti-union character was
again revealed several weeks ago
following the shooting by Bronx
policeman of Garry Smith, strik-
ing laborer of the George L. Storm
Lumber Co., 135th st. and Park
Ave. Asked by the Daily Worker
what action he would take to de-
fend Smith from police frame-up,
Lacey replied that he would no moth
ing inasmuch as Smiths name could
not be found on the union books
While 1T is true that Smith was not
a member of the Chauffeurs Union.
he nevertheless led strike of la
borers at the Storm plant in SYM
pathy with the chauffeurs.
Smith is now convalescing at the
Fordham Hospital, according to Of
ficials Of the institution.

Margaret Lawrence,
Actress, Shot Dead

A melodramatic shooting in a roof
bungalow atop a fashionable apart

end yesterday to the career OF Mar
garet Lawrence, one of the fore
most actresses on the American
stage.
In room Uttered with whiskey
bottles and thrown into wild disor

bullet wounds. Nearby lay the body
of Lewis Bennison, 30, Los Angeles
actor, with single bullet in the left
breast. Bennison, police said, had
shot Miss Lawrence, then committed
suicide.

Well Paid Liberals"
Vow Music Gang Won't
Interfere with A. F. L.

An indication of the character Of
the recently overhauled Music pro
gressive group" into the Conference
for so-called Progressive Labor Ac-
ton is seen in a statement just
issued by three hackers of the new
organization.
The Progressive Group was bodily
taken over by socialist party leaders
at a recent two-day conference in
New York, who utilized the oppor-
tunity to launch into a venomous
and savage attack against the Com
munist Party of the U. S. A.
Describing the conference as a
"well-rounded group" Stuart Chase,
one of the directors of the Labor
Bureau, Inc, a research organiza-
ton that accepts paid assignments
from both labor and employers
groups, asserted that the Music
gang would provide "a more COM
prehensive program for the A. F.
of L."
Benjamin Stolberg, a journalist
who exploits situations in the labor
movement for well-paid analyses"
in the liberal and capitalist press,
denied that the fake progressives
are forming a dual organization.
The movement, he announced, would
help bring in new members into
the American Federation of Labor.
Stolberg, at the same time, re-
Trained from making any comment
on the reactionary character of the
Federation and its consistent SELL
out policy of the workers.

HARLEM PRESS
AIDS LANDLORDS
Tenants League Holds
Meeting Tonight

That the Negro capitalist press
in Harlem is for the landlords and
against the thousands of working
class tenants in their struggle
against unbearab,e living conditions
and high rents is evident from the
latest issues of the New York News
and the New York Age.
The New York News, owned by
George w. Harris, former Negro al
derman and during the last elections
chairman of the publicity commit
tee of the colored division of the
republican party, contains an edi
torial headed: "Vicious Tenants. !"
The editorial declares:
Glib Lies.
MANY Harlem landlords have
complained to US of the wanton
damage and criminal abuse of their
property by vicious tenants. They
complain that very frequently the
tenants will not use the dumbwait-
ers, but insist in throwing their gar
bage down the shafts and in the
Railways. Not only this, but many
Of their tenants will commit other
nuisanccs destroying the health and
value of their property. We believe
that general campaign of educa-
ton should be started by all such
landlords against all such tenants.
Summons to court should be
served by the landlords against such
tenants"
Thus this corrupt sheet, fawning
on the oppressors, both black and
white, of the Negro workers of Har-
lem, calls for intensified widespread
persecution of the already merci-
lessly prosecuted and defrauded ten
ants. The New York News, blandly
playing it's traitor role, fails to men
ton that the reason tenants throw
their garbage down the shafts is
not because they love to endanger
their own and their neighbors'
health, but because the dumbwaiters
haven't worked in years.
Similarly the New York Age, con-
trolled by Alderman Fred r. Moore,
bitter enemy of Harris, but joining
with him in his hatred Of the Negro
masses, also does its bit. 1t does not
come out in such an open and shame
less attack on the tenants, but uses
more hypocritical language, pre-
tending to be interested in extending
the emergency rent laws. At the
same time, however, it does not let
pass the opportunity to attack
guardedly the great parade of Har-
lem tenants held Saturday, June 1.
Tenants League Meets Tonight.
Negro tenants are beginning to
repudiate the misleaders of the land
lords press and are turning for guild
ance to the papers that are fighting
for their interests, the Daily Worker
and the Nego Champion. They are
also organizing together with the
white tenants, particularly the
Latin-Americans, under the banner
of the Harlem Tenants League. An
important special meeting of the
League for the purpose of consider
ling ways of fighting the threatened
rent raises will be held tonight at
1880 at the public library at 1903 w.
135th st. All Harlem working class
tenants are urged to attend.

PHILADELPHIA, June 9.-There
is no quiet on the Pennsylvania
front. The industrial casualties
mount higher and higher in the
slaughter-house of Mellon and
Grundy.
1876 men killed in % working days
in Pennsylvania.
1888 men injured in the same
period.
These are the conservative fig
ures divulged by the Pennsylvania
Bureau of Workmen's Compensation,
in which Charles A. Weters, secre-
tary of labor and industry, actually
admitted unemployment was prob
lem" He is less fearful of telling
the approximate truth, now that his
term of office is about completed.
46 deaths in the anthracite in
February. lfa@
90 deaths in the bituminous dur
ing that period.
81 fatalities in the general indus
trial group.
1883 men injured during Febru-
ary's short month. A respectable
casualty list for world war engage
ment.
Business conditions may be
good and at the same time employ
ment conditions may be unfavor-
able, Secretary Waters said in his
closing statement. eve must rea-
lie that unemployment where pres
ent today is due to fundamental
causes rather than temporary
causes"
., In other words, unemployment
and hunger may be looked upon as
permanent, and not simply as seas
onal.
eve have learned with the use
of modern machinery to produce
faster than the world can purchase"
Surprising frankness, rarely INDUCED
in by officialdom of capitalism, gen
orally so anxious to hide the contra
dictions of their system.
'To absorb the surplus of labor,
to find jobs for workers turned out
of hand jobs by machinery, is now
receiving special attention by the
department of labor and industry
and it is hoped that the help now
being given to the department, in
this work, by employers and various
associations will be continued and
stimulated" The same old bunk
that brings no bread to the starv-
ing miners of the anthracite, to the
thousands walking the streets in the
Pennsylvania textile centers, such
as Kensington, in Philadelphia,
Chester, Wilkes Barre, etc.
He concludes his statement with
the CHEEKY "fact" that for two sue
cessive years Pennsylvania has Cen
joyed substantial reduction in the
number of industrial accidents"
Is. the final statement true? Let
us take a glance at the statistics:
Allegheny Counter, center of the
steel and bituminous coal industries
jumped to 1906 non-fatal accidents
in February 1929, from 1889 in Feb
cuary, 1928. Ten men were killed
in that county for the one month
alone.
Erie county, another industrial
section listed 1873 non-fatal accidents
in February, an increase of 80 over
the previous years record.
In Philadelphia, now suffering
great depression, only 1909 men
were injured in February. York
County had an increase of %, War
rem county of SO; Chester County,
with its steel mills, an increase of
80; and so on.
This tremendous list of injured
and killed draws no tears from the
official but he laments the follow
ing fact, eve cannot close our eyes
to the fact that we are losing some
of our industries in Pennsylvania.
The Commonwealth alone can not

prevent this migration. 1t can help,
but the real means to prevent this
situation is in the hands of labor
and industry"
And then this bit of irony, Cor
ganized capital and organized labor
alike should remember in the long
run the interests of each must be
in harmony, etc. etc., which every
working man knows by heart by
this time.
