ANLC
CONVENTION
To Be Held Nov. Is and
Is at st. Louis

On account of the extremely ia
vorable objective conditions for mo-
bilizing the Negro masses for the
struggle against imperialist oppres-
sion and lynch terror, the American
Negro Labor Congress has decided
to postpone it's national convention
to November Is and 16, in order to
gain more time for convention pre-
paration. A statement sent out by
Herbert Newton, national organizer,
declares:
"The program of the A. N. L. C.
has met with ready response. Many
new locals have sprung up ard are
energetically taking up the fight
against lynching and other griev-
ances that confront Negro work
ers. With this increased activity
and the necessity to build a broader
united front of workers, black and
white, the locals have asked that the
convention be postponed in order
that the farmers of the South may
be able to attend as we'll as workers
of other sections. The dates de-
cided upon are November Is and
16, in st. Louis, Mo.

THE FLEET is IN
Communist Demands tor Sailors

SEATTLE, Wash.--Four battle
ships of the Pacific Fleet are in.
The sailors have been given shore
leave until Aug. II. The bosses
are planning patriotic celebration
to whip up the war spirit of the
sailors. They, of course, keep silent
about the rotten conditions of the
workers who happen to be in the
Wall Street navy.
The Communist Party of Seattle,
IL greeting the sailors of the Pacific
Fleet, points out to them a few
things that they should re ember as
workers. The capitalist government
Is preparing war, first against the
Soviet Union, where the workers
have seized power and control of
industry, and secondly for markets
an for colonies, against the other
robber imperialist powers.

NATL CAMP AIGN
TO AID MINERS
Relief For Miners Is
Urgent Need

NEW YORK, Aug. A national
campaign for the relief of the des-
titute coal miners is being started
at once, Marcel Scherer, national
secretary, Workers International
Relief, stated yesterday. Scherer
just returned from Pittsburgh
where he attended the national con-
vention of the Mine, Oil and Smelt-
ers Workers Industrial Union and
the conference of w. l. r. function
aries which took up the question of
raising relief for the mine workers.
During the union convention a
special conference on w. |. R. ac-
Invites was held, attended by so
mine workers who represented re-
lief organizations in their respective
localities, also the w. I. R. secre-
taries. After the union convention
adjourned, an executive meeting was
held of W. |. r. secretaries of Chi
cago, st. Louis, Detroit, Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia, which includes all
the mining regions of the country.
This takes in Central and Western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio,
the Anthracite. Southern Illinois and
the metal mining region of Mime
sofa and Wisconsin. During the
convention and the Conference the
delegates, numbering almost 400.
were fed by the Pittsburgh W. /. r.
Michael Burd, local secretary, was
in charge of the arrang ments.
Funds should be sent at once to
the w. l. R., 949 Broadway. New

MORE join STRIKE
IN FRANCE;A ASK
HIGHER WAGES
100000 Now Out; Call
For General Strike

PARIS, Aug. a. - The ranks of
the strikers in Lille, Rouen, Rou-
baix, Tourcoing, Halluin and Lam
oy, the leading industrial district in
the north of France, were strength
ened today by the addition of more
than 100000 workers who walked
out today. This brings the num-
Der of workers out on strike for
higher wages to well over 100000.
The great majority of the strik-
ers who have already been out for
nearly two weeks consisted of tex
tile workers. The reinforcements
comprise large numbers of steel,
iron and building trades workers.
Originally starting as a protest
against the fake insurance law,
which made the workers pay the
burden instead of the bosses, the
strike is now becoming a general
strike for an increase in wages for
all workers.
The walk-out today was voted by
the members of the General Labor
Confederation, despite the action
of the yellow leaders Saturday in
negotiating with the bosses for an
end of the strike. The workers de-
cisively rejected the attempted SELL
out.
The bosses in the Lille district,
urging the chief of police of the
district to smash the strike, in a
letter pointed out that they would
not raise wages as they want to con-
slider their profits first.
A general strike of all workers
is the aim of the revolutionary
working class organizations here
who are taking an active part in
the strike and were chiefly instru-
mental in bringing out the addition
al 100000 workers to fight for
higher wages. Higher wages, as
a result of this militant strike, has
already been granted by several in
dustries.

THOUSANDS HEAR
LEADERS OF AUTO
UNION AT F0RDS
Expose Fake Opening;
More Jobless

DETROIT, Aug. 4.-On the occa-
sion of the fake announcement that
Ford was re-employing all his
workers, the Auto Workers Union
and the Unemployment Council
today held mass demonstration in
front of the Ford River Rouge
plant. Thousands of workers at
tended and booed the police. This
is the first time in the history of
the automobile industry that a
workers meeting was held on Ford
property.
The Ford plant "opened" today
with steeply reduced forces. Ford
announced that the few employed
would operate on a four-day week,
as production is to be reduced. The
large number of Ford workers who
were not taken on were told they
would be hired within week or
two"
The Detroit News makes the fol-
lowing comment:
"The reduction of the employees
roster and production schedules re-
Gently made is 20 to SO per cent
compared to a year ago."
The News also says that all
plants are to resume work ION a
somewhat reduced schedule COM
pared to the schedule at the be-
ginning of the lay-off." The lay
offs began in June of this year.
"This MEANS" says the Commu-
mist Party, Detroit District, mot
only is there great increase in I'M
employment as compared to last
year in the auto industry, but that
there are more unemployed than
there were in June, just before the
lay-offs."
At the large outdoor meeting in
front of the Ford Rouge River
plant the police arrested Powers,
secretary of the Trade Union Unity
League; Wood, secretary of the
Auto Workers Union, and Thomp-
son, Youth Organizer of the T.U.
U.L. Powers was badly beaten by
the cops. They are all out on bail
and the trial is set for next Monday
Pointing out that despite the
much heralded opening of the auto
plants in Detroit, the New York
Times admits that production dur
ing August will be just as low in
July, when 10000 workers were
laid off. "The automobile indus

Building Bosses

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Aug. 4.
The National Association of
Building Trade Employers and the
American Federation of Labor Off
Gals met here during the last week
in July and established a National
Board of Claims which prohibits
strikes in the industry, in so far as
the A. F. of L. misleaders have
power to enforce the agreement.
The board is theoretically to ad-
just jurisdictional disputes, either by
its own decisions or by arbitration.
The union which does not accept the
decisions rendered is to be fined by
the A. F. of l..
Wonderful" For the Bosses.
The bosses viewpoint is expressed
by Oscar w. Rosenthal, president of
the Builders Association of Chicago.
He stated: "The agreement is a
wonderful thing for the public.
Strikes are absolutely forbidden"
1t seems certain that the cases
considered will not be merely juris-
dictional, but will involve demands
for wages or protest against wage
cuts.
All the employers Immediately
signed the agreement. Signing by
the unions of the A. F. of L. will
take place at meeting in October,
in Boston, where it will be decided
whether the agreement runs for two
or four years.

FRANCE COPIES
U. S. WAR PLOT
Attack on Soviet Union
Looms Ever Nearer

Paris dispatches show a new anti
Soviet campaign beginning on the
same basis as that engineered in
the United States by Matthew Vol,
the Fish committee and their allied
police and czarist pals. A member
of the French senate, Victor Dali
biez, writing in a paper of the capt.
talistic radical socialist" party,
goes into Mysteries about Soviet
dumping" This is evidently part
of the international campaign to
whip up war hysteria against the
Soviet on an economic excuse.
Dalbiez says that this dumping"
is running French industry" altho,
just as in the case of the United
States, he. also is unable to show
how such ruin" can be brought
about when Soviet imports into
France are of goods France does
not produce at all or very little.
The principal imports into France
from the Soviet Union are flax and
oil, with some minerals, practically
none of such goods being produced
i'll France. There were also some
meats and flour and lumber, French
prohibition in these being limited.
Unites With Fish
That this vomit of Dalbiez is part
of the world campaign against the
Soviet Union as preliminary war
propaganda, is seen in the fact that
Dalbiez speaks of the United States,
where, he says, safeguarding meas
