7UUL CONVENTION
COMES MARCH II

By decision of the Administrative
Council of the Metropolitan Area,
Trade Union Unity League, the con-
vention originally set to take place
on January 25-2G has been post
poned to March 1-2, Irving Plaza
Hall. The movement for 1000 dele
gates developed in a direction for
which the machinery was not pre-
pared. 1t is necessary to mobilize
a big representation from these
sources. The postponement makes
this possible. 1t also better enables
militant trade union movement to
make good the quota it set for itself
of at least 800 delegates.
The statement issued reads in
part:
"In order to rally the growing
army of unemployed workers to
struggle, in order to throw thou
sands of Negro workers, young and
woman workers into the new revolu-
tionary trade union center, to con-
centrate on large plants of the basic
industries in New Jersey and to
help the convention during the strike
of the dye and silk workers of Pat
erson, to de ell > the struggle of the
food, shoe, metal and needle work.
ers, the Local Council of the 7. u.
U. L. finds it necessary to postpone
the convention.

delegates to the convention! Make
this a mass convention of struggle
for higher wages, shorter hours, in

war danger.

WAR DEPT. WHITE.
WASHES CROWDER
Sugar Ora fter Gave
Away War Secrets

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-In an
attempt to whitewash Major-General
Enoch Crowder's part in the sugar
lobby graft, the War Department
has declared that the general is in
reality two persons.
AS General Crowder, they say he
is one person, and as one of the
sugar grating lobbyists, he has an
other existence.
General Crowder revealed the war
secrets of United States imperialism
to the Cuba Co., which has S170,000,-
900 invested in Cuba, in an effort
to get lower tariff rate for them
on sugar. Crowder pointed out that
the war plans Of American capital
ism were, at the outbreak Of war,
not to attempt to defend the Philip
pines. His purpose was to get con-
gressmen and senators to vote for
lower tariff on Cuban sugar-for
which he was handsomely paid.
Crowder also spilled tie secret that
Henry l.. Stimson, in the plans for
the next war, differed from these
tactics and insisted that United
States imperialism hang on to the
Philippines at all costs, because, as
he sa !, mass revolts would immedi-
ately sprir. up if United States
troops were withdrawn from the
l. ,,ands.
Stimso., as head OF the United
States delegation to the race-for-
armaments meet in London will in
sist more cruisers, battleships,
sui arines and airplane carriers to
carry out this war plan on the
United States.

PLAN TO Get
BIGGER SPEEDUP
IN SLAVE PLANT
Workers, Organize in
T. u. U.L.
(By a Worker Correspondent

f1S'NNNfNN[
Not content with the pile of prof
its that they make from our sweat
the Western Electric bosses compel
us to stake our meagre earnings in
the shares of this company, Yes! by
showing on us their stock they wiring
more profits from us and hand us
the pay envelope less SO every
month. What do we get out of these
shares but an other slave-driving
bastard like Pagan watching over
our backs and driving us faster,
ever faster producing more and
more war material to be used in the
coming slaughter.
This is the scheme of the bosses
to fool the workers into greater
speed-up to make believe that they
own something in this company
and, therefore, refuse to organize
into an industrial union and to de-
mand better conditions of work and
better pay.
Does the Western Electric in
crease our pay when it compels us
to buy its shares, of course, not, it
does, however, increase its speed-up
system. 1t places another watch
dog at the wash-room door. 1t lays
off worker for a whole week in
case he should come in five minutes
late.
These are a few things in the gen.
eral attack that the boss is using
against US. What must be our Of
fensive attack against all this p?

COME IN MASSES
PROTEST MURDER
Socialist Lawyer Got
Murder Injunction

As Steve Katovis lies probably
dying in Lincoln Hospital, shot
through the body by a Tammany
policeman at Millers Market, Thurs
day, the Communist Party calls the
workers of New York to come in
masses to the spot of the murder
GUS assault and demonstrate against
this slaughter of strikers. In doing
so, it denounces also the socialist
party. which acted in the Miller
Market strike as part of the mur-
der machinery.
"Down with the brutal police ter
ror against strikers!" says the call
of the Communist Party. "Defend
your right to organize, strike and
picket for higher wages, less hours
and for better conditions, against
the speed-up and wage cuts" it
says. Demand unemployment in
surance paid for by the bosses and
the government" it continues, and,
"Organize Workers Defense!
Shot At Meeting.
The leaflets issued by the Party
tell of the shooting down of Katovis,
the worker, while attending meet
ing called by the Trade Union
Unity League to appeal for workers
solidarity in the strike Of the Food
Clerks Union against the Miller
Market, and they tell Of other bru-
tai attacks by police on strikers.
They call also for all to attend the
Lenin Memorial meeting, Jan. %, to
demonstrate against the killing of
workers in imperialist war as well
as by police.
The Communist Party calls to ac-
ton in life and death struggle
against the most ruthless form Of
suppression of the right to strike.
Socialists With Enemy.
Solidly linked with the boss in the
Miller strike, as in others, are the
socialist party and the right wing
union officials. While Miller's uni
formed murderer, Patrolman H.
Kiritz, was shooting Katovis in the
back, the boss was using as his at
torney, Charles Solomon, socialist
party leader and candidate for al
dernlan. Solomon is also attorney
for the United Hebrew Trades,
which furnishes scabs at the Miller
Market. He got injunctions (which
were the excuse for the shooting)
for both boss and fake union against
the strikers.
Real Communist.
| Katovis was a good Communist,
active in all workers struggles. A
few days before he was shot he
came to the Daily Worker office
and donated $3.50 he had made by
working overtime. Now he is in a
serious condition, paralysed from
the waist down, and with bullet
perforating his spine and tearing
six holes in his intestines. He was
operated on Thursday night, but
little hope is held for him.
The New York district bureau of
the Communist Party has issued a
statement reading in part: Walk
er's and Whalen's Cossacks are mur-
dering the workers. We will
not be bullied by your terror! We
will continue the fight! We will
organize workers defense corps to
protect our organizations and our
meetings! We will continue to Or
ganize and mobilize till we over
throw the imperialist power and es-
tablish a workers and farmers gov
ernment in the U. ST."

stated again its determination to
continue its drive to organize work.
