a job. Aldrich Immediately reported
to the office, but with the same re-
suits. He was turned away each
time. Together with his wife, he
has since been evicted. Aldrich says
that there were only about jobs
called out for colored workers in the
space of as many days.
BY discriminating against the Ne
gro workers, the bosses are forcing
this frightfully oppressed group to
bear the full burdens of the econo-
mic crisis to an even greater ex-
tent than the white workers. The
bosses only way out of the crisis is
through starvation and terrorism of
the working class. The workers must
fight back. White and Negro, they
must fight for unemployed relief, for
social insurance and for uncondi-
tional equal rights for the Negro
masses, defeating all attempts of the
capitalists to further victimize the
Negro workers.

Unemployed Councils and the Com

chance on October "a and IS, to
arouse the working class Of New
York as never before to support the
Communist Party program of strug-
gle for the immediate demands OF
the working class in the period of
hunger, widespread wage cuts and
unemployment. Through the house

task is to win workers away from
the reactionary parties to vote for

8, and to vote for the Communist
Party leadership in the battle against

CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES NOW

Communist on November 8.
The District Election Campaign
calls upon all workers to volunteer
to Join The Assembly District COM
mittees, and to organize Vote Com
munist committees in the shops to
be drawn into the territorial work
in the evening. Reaching the work
ers during the election struggle, both
ir the shops and house to house, is
political task of the first impor-
lance. Every worker should volunteer
to go among the workers from house
to house to visit workers organiza-
lions and to agitate in the shops
against the enemies Of the working
class, the socialist strikebreakers, and
betrayers of the working class, the
Tammany Hall racketeers and gang
sters. In Assembly Districts which
have previously polled a large vote
for the yellow socialist misleaders
special attention must be PAID to
showing them up before the workers
and to win the workers for the Com
munist Party.
The mobilization to build Vote
Communist clubs includes also the
of class conscious workers

of Watchers are needed to fight for

NEW YORK.-Sam Kaplan, rack
eteering president of Local 306 of the
Moving Picture Operators Union has
simply called off the strike against
ten theatres of the Lee A. Ochs chain
here. Picketing was. ordered stopped
Oct. 8, the men we're notified that
none would go to work until Mon
day. and there is no assurance they
will work then.
There were 10 pickets, and only 80
jobs open. Some of the scabs are to
be admitted to the union and left at
work. Of those who went on strike,
those close TO Kaplan we're given
other jobs, the ordinary members and
permit men did the picketing.
No wage scale is announced!
With Kaplan presiding at a meet
ing Of the local Oct, 6, the five men
who were expelled and who fought
their way back in through the courts
we're driven from the meeting. Then
come of Kaplan's thugs leaped on
J7thaniel Dorsgoff, a member, and
tt,r accusing him of being in SYM

up severely with chairs and other

The beating followed a discussion

Farley is member of the Kaplan

NEW YORK.-The movie picture
operators union Local 306 counts a
little over 1000 members. Eight
hundred of them are permit" men,
t. e., they paid $500 to $1,000 a head
as initiation fee and 10 to 20 per
cent (since 8 months ago 20 per cent?
as weekly assessments. The permit
man has no standing, no rights, no
vote, no say in the local.
The wages are determined by Pres
ident Kaplan himself, and a theatre
gets a better break if the manager
first sees the chief who supplies
Kaplan with gunner and body
guards. For the same job regular
member gets $85 and a permit man
s46, or as low as $38. After Kaplan
rakes off the 20 per cent the permit
man has 5000 or 5000 left for
himself. Last summer, when Kaplan
wanted to be good to the bosses, he
ordered a wage cut of per cent for
10 weeks.
Protesting means to lose the Job
without notice. Any member may
come to the business agent and ask
for the permit mans job.
Spying and Intrigue.
A permit man goes to work in the
morning and is never sure that he
will not find someone else attending
to his machine and all he can do in
that case is go back to the local,
take a chair and wait until he Is
given another job which comes some
times in two weeks, sometimes in
two months and sometimes, never
depending on what this permit man
said about somebody or what some
body said about him.
Spying of one member on another
is strongly encouraged. When there
are good jobs to fill, members work
