CLOTHING MAKERS
TO MEET AUG. 21
Discuss Strike Plans.

NEW YORK.-Right after work
Thursday night, at Manhattan Ly-
ceum, &C East 4th Street, mass
meeting will be held for al those
who work on mems clothing. Con-
Quoted by the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union, the purpose
of the meeting will be to further
expose and fight the bosses and
their boot-licking tool, the Hillman
clique, and to turn the fake (Hill-
NAM strike into real strike.
The vicious purpose of the Hill
man group is to work out plans for
fake, strikes, lock-outs and stop
pages in order to force piece-work
upon the rest of the sections.
Throughout all of these dirty tao
tics stretches the rotten network of
Hillman's understanding with the
bosses-resulting in nothing but
general reductions and increased
speed-ups.
Hillman's agents tried to make
the workers believe they were strik-
ing in the daytime. But at night
they would send their machine boys
to scab on the workers!
Lies For the Boss.
The Hillman clique, with its pro-
gram of sell-outs and betrayals, its
horde of scabs and strikebreakers,
continually uses the bosses press
to create the illusion that "all is
we'll" And at time when work
ers refused a settlement that meant
wage-cuts of S., SO and $40 week,
Hillman told the prostitute press
that "the bosses don't want any re-
duction."
The N.T.W.I.U. calls a shop con-
ference for Saturday, Sept. 6. Or
ganize shop committees in each shop
for the purpose Of attending this
conference! Forward to mass meet
ing on Aug. II. Send delegates to
the conference on Sept. s!

MILL STRIKERS
ASSAIL BOSS
Angered At 81 a Week
Bessemer City Wage

BESSEMER CITY, N. c., Aug.
19.-The strikers in the American
Mills here today attempted to drag
George R. Spencer, superintendent
of the company from his automo-
bile and beat him up. Spencer had
refused to grant demands of the
strikers in Mills No. ] and No. 2
that the sc per cent wage cut be
rescinded. Local leaders, some of
whom are in opposition to the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, ac-
cording to their statements reported
in the capitalist press, are said to
have interviewed and rescued the
superintendent.
At Cross Roads.
There is danger here of repeti-
ton of the form of betrayal made
famous in the Flint automobile
strike, with misleaders seeking to
betray the strike by waging an at
tack on the Trade Union Unity
League organization which has out
lined policy of struggle and
spreading the strike.
The American Mills company is
owned by Frank, Max and Robert
Goldberg of Gastonia. They manu-
facture tire fabric.
The wage cuts are admitted by
the management now to have re-
duced wages Of $3.50 a week (full
CINE, to about 81 a week.

RED CANDIDATE
EXPOSES FAKE
J0BLESS CURE
Calls Workers to Act
For Insurance Bill

Unemployment agencies do not
by themselves provide jobs for the
jobless or feed hungry, unemployed
workers. The claim advanced in
the legislation proposed in congress
by Senator Robert f. Wagner, of
New York, that a system of unem-
ployment agencies and registration
of the jobless, will solve the unem-
ployed problem has been effectively
shattered these past few days by
the thousands of workers clamor-
ing for jobs at the Municipal I'm
employment Agency, Sd Lafayette
Street" declared J. Louis Engdahl,
Communist Party candidate for
lieutenant governor, in a statement
outlining features of the proposed
Communist social insurance legis-
lation.
THE figures given out by the
agency itself show that out of the
1000 registered only 1886 have OBJ
tanned jobs, most of them tempo
rary. Many other thousands have
not even been registered. The
5000 who clamored for jobs on the
third day the agency was opened
outnumbered the combined total of
those who had come on previous
days, and the reply of the agency
is to close its doors in the face
of those seeking employment, just
as the employment offices in all the
great industries have done long ago.
Immediate relief for all unem-
ployed workers is a major demand
of the Communist Party in the cleo
ton campaign continued Engdahl.
THE Communist Party demands
work or wages for the unemployed"
THE demands of the Communist
Party are contained in a Workers
Social Insurance Bill that will be
popularized during the election
campaign declared Engdahl.
"This proposed bill authorizes the
appropriation of the sum of five
billion dollars, and in order to pro-
vide this sum all appropriations
heretofore made or now in effect
for military, naval or other war
purposes are hereby repealed and
all such sums utilized for the pur-
poses of social insurance.
Demonstration of workers, en-
ployed and unemployed, in support
of this feature of the election cam
paign will be held not only in New
York City, but in all the great cities
of the nation on September first

wife and five children for nom
payment of rent.
Delpha LIE Due, 1888 from
bly, Ave, Detroit, has been out
of work for over nine months. He
lives in house owned by the graft
ing A. F. of L. official, Dueweke.
When LIE Due failed to pay his rent
for several months Dueweke went
to court and got an eviction order.
The unemployed worker and his
family will be thrown on the street
to starve through the action of the
A. T. of L. business agent. Through
their collaboration with the bosses,
the A. F. of L. fascist officials have
filled their pockets, most of them
owning valuable property.
A mass demonstration against
this eviction is being planned by
the Detroit Unemployed Council for
Wednesday, August Goth, at 3 p. M,
when Dueweke's eviction order will
be carried out by the police. All

NEW K.-Has Theodore
Roosevelt, the pup of the imperial
list who boasted that he shot Span
lard in the back in 1898, had his
socialist" henchmen in Porto Rico
murder a Communist worker?
1t would appear so, as the de-
mands made upon him as "gov-
ernor" of Porto Rico, responsible
for the administration of that Wall
Street colony and the unfortunate
people who inhabit it, for the
whereabouts of worker who has
disappeared" are not even given
the grace of an answer.
The demands We're made upon the
colonial governors" administration
by the International Labor Defense,
following reports to it from Porto
Rico that Alfredo Mateu, by birth
a Cuban and reported in the CAPT
talist papers of Ponce, Porto Rico,
as an active worker for the or
ganization of a Communist Party,
disappeared" on July IL and has
since not been heard from.
The information, coming from
other Porto Rican workers and en-
/ closing clippings from the Porto
Rican press, makes it clear chat the
so-called socialist" party of Porto
Rico, which is headed by that vul-
ture of Imperialism known as San
tiago Iglesias, Spanish language
secretary of the Pan-American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, has had a hand
in the disappearance" and possibly
the secret murder of Mateu.
A paper named FL Dia publishes
statement of Bias Oliveras, a lieu
tenant of Iglesias and president of
the socialist" party in the city of
Ponce, which shows between the
lines that this scoundrel has de-
nounced Mateu to the imperialist
authorities.

ing failed and says that it's prop

On August %, the working class
will commemorate the death of
Sacco and Vanzetti, the two rebels
electrocuted three years ago by the
henchmen of the capitalist class.
In this period the ruling class is
resorting to more violence against
the working class than ever before,
using the most savage means of
suppression. The number of lynch
ings of Negro workers during the
first few months of 1880 has ex-
ceeded the total number of lynch
ings during 1928 and 1929. In At
lanta, Georgia, six youthful mill
tants face the electric chair for
their attempt to organize the Negro
and white workers. In Imperial
Valley, California, six workers were
sent off to living death of forty
two years behind the bars, for at
tempting to organize the exploited
agrarian workers of that region.

NEGRO WORKER

AUTOMOBILE MOB
Bosses Enter Jail For
Victim

TARBORO, N. c., Aug. ia
mob that travelled in expensive auto
mobiles and had easy and unchal-
lenged access to the Edgecombe
county Jail here, entered that build
ing last night and took Oliver
Moore, 29-year-old Negro worker,
out of his cell and lynched him.
The mob numbered 200 white
men. They bundled Moore into one
of fifty automobiles and carried
him to his home, Is miles from here.
There they strung him up to a tree
and riddled his body With bullets.
Moore, who was a farm laborer
on the farm of white Edgecombe
county farmer, had been accused of
attacking the two daughters of this
farmer. This is the usual charge
made by, the southern bosses against
Negro workers who attempt to col
lect their wages or show other signs
of revolt against the frightful OPP
preston to which they are subjected
under capitalism utilizing and sup
porting the semi-slave remnants of
chattel slavery in this section.
Moore had evidently tried to collect
his wages and the accusation
against him followed, the white
farmer knowing the Negro worker
would be dealt with out of hand
either by lynching mob or by the
capitalist courts in the form of
legal lynching and would have no
opportunity to disprove the charges.
AS usual, none of the lynchers
were recognized" although it is
admitted that most of them had not
even taken the trouble to wear
masks when they entered the jail.
The ease with which the lynch
ers got their victim and the fact
that the sheriff knew where to look
for the body, although the lynching
occurred Is miles from here, clearly
prove collision between the lynch
ers and the capitalist state authori-
ties.
This latest outrage against the
workingclass brings the number OF
lynchings to % for this year, with
the eighth month not yet ended.
The lynching terror must be COM
batted by organization of self-de-
Tense corps of Negro and white
workers and by modifying the en-
tire workingclass in support of the
struggles of the Negro masses, in
support of the right of the Negro
masses to determine their own form
of government in those sections
where they are a majority.
The Communist Party calls upon
the Negro workers to come out in
masses September first in protest
against unemployment and the
bosses lynch terror. Negro and
white workers! Organize against
lynching and hunger! Defeat the
bosses drive to split the working
class and further isolate the Negro
for more intensive super
exploitation!

MOSCOW, U.S.S.R., Aug, 10
Tormossova, woman delegate from
the trades unions of the U.S.S.R. in
her report today, at the Fifth World
Congress of the Red International
of Labor Unions, pointed out that
working women have participated
heroically and actively i'll strikes i'll
recent years. She declared that the
organization Of women had Jagged
behind their Importance in strike
struggle and was disproportionately
small in comparison with the num-
bers of women engaged in produc-
ton. "Women's help is necessary
for the Communist revolution" she
stated.
James Ford, Negro delegate from
America (he is head of Negro work
in the Trade Union Unity League
-Ed.) declared that the Negro in
surrections in various parts of the
colonies show a revolutionary influ-
ence.. The Negro movement has
made great progress, he stated,
since the establishment of the
Negro International Committee by
the R.LL.U. The Negro Committee
has done excellent work among the
Negroes of the southern states in
the United States, and this raises
the question of Negro Self Deter
mination.
Their influence is growing also
among the Negro proletariat of
South America.

DETROIT, Mich. Aug. 19.-An
meeting of cleaners
and dyers held here Saturday, with
some of the most important shops
voted to join the Clean
ers and Laundry Workers Indus
trial League Of the Trade Union
Unity League.
The meeting was addressed by
George f. Powers, secretary of the
T.U.U.L., Michigan District, who re-
called to the minds of the workers
the destructive union-smashing of
Martel, head of the Detroit FEEDER
alton of Labor, in collaboration with
the Infamous purple Gang" of
Detroit's underworld.
The conditions of the pressers,
cleaners, spoilers, sorters and
markers in the cleaning and dyeing
shops of Detroit, as elsewhere, are
with upwards of IL
hours a day for small wages under
the worst conditions, slave driving,
bad ventilation, dirt, dust and I'M
bearable stencil,
One of these shops, 1mlays, which
employs about 100 workers, is a
fake cooperative, run by the labor
takers of the Journeymen Tailors'
Union. Recently they put over a
wage-cut under the disguise of
held-back wages, the workers now
being behind two weeks in pay.
When the discomfort of the workers
threatened to break out in strike,
the manager, Hoffman called in
the president of the Journeymen
Tailors' Union, Krispenz, who sue
ceeded through glib promises in
getting the workers back to work.
