Grievance Committee Delays Meet
When Lewis Orders Strike Broken

The local takers would like to do
the same, but fear mass rebellion.
They tried to get Boylan to take
over the strike, SO that the anger
of the miners over its betrayal would
fall on him alone instead of on the
local officials, but Boylan was too
outspoken.
Postpone Meeting.
Now that Lewis has answered, the
General Grievance Committee is try
ing tactics of delay. They did not
call meeting. as they promised. A
meeting scheduled for early today
was postponed to the afternoon, and
then put off entirely until Saturday.
The miners are bitter against the
General Grievance Committee, the
district machine and against Lewis.
They have given out abundant proof
that the company itself breaks the
contract. In fact, the strike started
over . deliberate attempt Of the

unpaid labor to part of the men In
one of the mines. The strike is
against wage-cuts through non-pay-
ment for dead work, through the top
ping swindle and in other ways.
The National Miners Union yes
terday challenged the leaders of the
Glen Alden General Grievance Com

lie, charging them with betraying
the strike, but there has been no an

TO tighten its grip on Nicaragua
practically all government rule Is In

ines.
Now wall Street will use the ex-
cuse Of the earthquake to send mors
marines and to tighten It's grip on
Nicaragua. Already ships, war and
merchant marine, are being directed
to Nicaragua, ostensibly for relief, but
in reality to use the occasion for fur
ther tInperiaHst encroachmeit.
Hoover RELIEF will be used to ad-
vance Wall Streets interests and not
benefit the masses who viii suffer
most as q result of the earthquake.
The president of Nicaragua, Mon
cado, is a puppet Of Wall Street, and
was put into power by the direct in
tervention of Hoover and Secretary
Of state Stimson.
American engineers have been sur
veying Nicaragua for a canal to be
controlled by United States imperial
ism in preparation for the coming
war.
Even before the earthquake thcus-
ands faced death through starvation.
The agraria1 crisis in Nicaragua,
along with the general economic
crisis Of world capitalism had ruined
thousands of poor peasants. They
were flocking to the armed struggle
against Yankee marine rule.
Even now in reading Of the scenes
of disaster in Nicaragua, the real role
Of American imperialism is made
clearer. The Moncada government
disappears as a farce; the marines
and the imperiatst rulers move about
and are the real directors Of Mica
ragua.
Besides the huge death roll ire
mendous property damage resulted
from the quake, estimates ranging
from s3o,ooO,ooo to $4o,oo0,0oo; but
both the death roll and the property
damage are pittances compared to
the slaughters of the marines in the
years of rule and the profits VruIs
out OF Wall Street by the American
bankers.

"Pittsburg Plan" is the owner Of one
OF the biggest department stores in
the city. The girls in his basement
are paid as law as So a week and
many of his employees get $40 and
$l2 week. Kaufman is the man
that Mellon sent to talk to President
Hoover when Hoover approved the
Pittsburgh Plan" According to the
Pittsburgh Plan" the city gives no
unemployment relief. Instead the
so-called Emergency Committee" of
which kaufman and Mellon are
members is to get donations, forced
from the workers on the threat of
losing their Jobs. These donations
are to be used to hire workers at a
very cheap rate and the emergency
committee then rellires them to
whom it pleases. Before a worker
is employed, he must secure a rec
ommendation from his last en-
ployer that he is a desirable citizen
and must fill out long question:

want to crush the land of the work
ers. In the last two years the Soviet
Union has made tremendous progress
in the building of Socialism. Only in
the Soviet Union is there no unem-
ploynent, wage-cuts and hunger. For
this reason the bosses government
wants to destroy the Soviet Union.
In the United STATES the govern
ment has increased its fascist terror
against the workers. Daily, Negro
workers are lynched and foreign-born
workers deported. The Young Work
er, the Young Pioneer, and other
working class papers have been
banned from the mails. The Fish
Committee has openly demanded the
outlawing of the Communist Party,
the Young Communist League and
other workers organizations.
Since the time of our last con-
vention, many things have happened
in our Young Communist League.
Our League was, and still is, q sec
tartan organization isolated from the
working youth. It was only in the
last nine months that our League be-
gan to struggle against sectarianism,
and to begin to carry out the line OF
the Y. G. l., our League has had to
struggle against resistance from Sec
tons Of the leadership and member
ship. 1t is in the last period, ON the
basis Of this struggle, that the League
can record certain gains. From 1,00o
members at the time of the Party
Convention. we have grown to moro
than 1000 members. This 9is only
the first beginning and at the time OF
the Y. G. L. Convention we must
have at least 1000 members in our
League. siug;.
Therefore, the National Executive
Committee has decided to call the
Sixth National Convention of the
Young Communist League for June
7, 8, and 9 in New York City. On the
basis of our experience in carrying
out the Three-Month Plan of Action
March LIST to May 30tM, on the
holding of a successful National
Youth Day on March 30th, and or
the drawing into the leadership OF
many new proletarian elements, the
Convention will lay down the future
tasks for the League.
The Sixth National Convention
must be prepared by the widest dis
cussion throughout the ranks of the
League. The Convention must give
an answer to many important ques-
tons. 1t must mark the path for tho
building of mass League. 1t mus

foreign born workers, they admit in
the present pamphlet in connection
with the campaign Of Ku Klux ele-
mentS to displace Negro workers that
such campaigns are aimed at fool
ing the masses:
"This practice which obviously
will not solve the problem of I'M
employment, increases the number
of Negroes in the bread lines. :"
Crisis Used for Wage Cuts
The crisis is being used by the
bosses to undermine the standards
of the working-cla and wage cuts
are common, the report admits:
Needless to say that wages have
been cut-races competing with each
other in order to gain favor with en-
ployers."
Figures are also given showing how
effectively capitalism is breaking up
the homes of the workers:
Outlook "Discouraging'
cat no time in the history of the
Negro since slavery has his economic
and social outlook seemed so dis
couraging. The present period of I'M
employment is sapping the founda-
tons of Negro family life. -. The
records of Family Relief Organiza-
tons indicate an alarming increase
in the number of Negro families
wholly dependent on charity in al
most every city in the country. In
Cincinnati relief causes among Ne
groeS increased from IS to 300 from
December, 1929 to January, 1881. In
Greensboro, North Carolina, the cases
for relief increased 300 percent in the
period of year. In Chicago Negroes,
although but 4 percent of the popu-
lation, constitute 25 percent of the
total number of relief cases. In
Baltimore 81 percent and in Dayton
so percent; in Philadelphia 40 per-
cent and in Pittsburgh "A percent"
Sole dependence is here again placed
by the Urban League on the figures
of relief organizations which clearly
do not cover the whole situation, as
thousands of Negro workers denied
even this fake "relief" can testify.
What the Urban League takers are
most concerned with, however, is the
effect of the miserable conditions of
the Negro masses on the status of
the Negro professional and business
groups:
Must Demonstrate May Day
"That the economic structure of
the entire Negro race is in an alarm
ing state of disrepair, with dire ef-
feet upon business and professional
interests dependent upon the patron
age of Negro wage-earners."o a.
Their next chief concern is the
growing rest permeating the Negro
masses.
The terrible misery facing the
working-class generally, and the Ne
gro masses in particular, emphati-
cally point to the necessity of the
workers, native and foreign born
Negro and white, coming out in gi-
gantic mass demonstrations on May
First, in continuation and intense
fication of the struggle against star
Walton, wage cuts, persecution of
Negro and foreign born, imperialist
war, and for real relief and unem-
ployment insurance to be paid by the
bosses and their government and adj
ministered by the workers without
discrimination because of race Oh
place of birth.
