BRICKLAYERS
DEMONSTRATE
FOR CITY JOBS
Rush Foreman w h o
Held Them Up
For Graft

NEW YORK.-Several thousand
bricklayers and helpers demonstrated
yesterday, demanding work, at the
136th Street East River Pier, where
workers are hired for the new City
Prison job on Rikers Island.
Thousands of unemployed brick
layers have been gathering at the
pier every morning asking for the
handful of tickets for jobs which are
handed out. The foreman on the
job has taken advantage of this sit
uation by demanding a slice of the
wages of each worker given job.
Disguised with their racketeering
A. F. of L. officials the bricklayers'
anger reached high point yesterday
as they rushed for the foreman, who
was saved from a beating by the po-
lice coming to his aid. The police
roughly handled the unemployed
workers.
The union officials have refused to
do anything about the terrible situa-
ton among the membership. Only
through the rank and file control of
distribution of jobs can work be Sc
cured for the rank and file members
Of the union. the Building and Con-
struction Workers Industrial League
points out to the bricklayers. The

BLOCKERS VOTE
OWNAGREEMENT
Golden Prepares to
Sell Out Workers

At the meeting of Local AZ Of the
Hat. Cap and Millinery Workers In
dustrial Union called Monday night,
the blockers voted, with only one
single exception, against sending
delegates to the conference with the
millinery manufacturers for the pur-
poses of discussing collective agree
ment. The militant blockers at the
meeting completely exposed to the
workers the treacherous role that
ZaritSky, the president of the union,
is playing by trying to force the
workers to accept a collective agree
ment of the bosses.
The blockers realize that the "sta-
bilization of the industry" that the
bosses and zaritsky are fighting for,
means wage cuts of the better paid
workers to the level of the lowest
paid. The ABUSES which have crept
into the industry" about which the
bosses shout and which zaritsky is
trying to remove for them, are the
conditions which the workers in the
shops have won through years of
struggle and sacrifice.
While Golden, the organizer Of
Local AZ, did not dare oppose the
sentiment Of the entire membership
at the meeting Monday night he pre-
pared the way to sell out the block
ers and force them to accept the COL
lective agreement In the future. In
his speech he stated that while the
blockers were opposed to the collec-
tive agreement Of Zaritsky and the
bosses, they would have to accept II

SHOP STRUGGLES
Mass Meetings Adopts
Fighting Resolution

NEW YORK.-Cheering the rally
ing call for struggle against the
Hillman and Orlofsky cliques and the
wage cutting campaign of the bosses
in the mems clothing industry, near
ly $50 tailors met Saturday, October
II, at noon at the Stuyvesant Casino,
upon the call of the Amalgamated
Rank and File Committee.
Sol Hertz, Domenick Flaiani and
Eusepi Oswaldo, organizers for the
Rank and File Committee, spoke at
the meeting. Ben Gold put in a late
appearance.
Scoring the complete abrogation of
democratic rights within the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers the as
sembled tailors adopted a resolution
containing the following points of
action:
1. In the fight against wage
cuts, the workers are called upon
to organize shop groups, including
workers Of all political utilization
and religious beliefs which is to
lead the workers into strike strug-
giles against wage cuts, and for bet
terment Of their conditions.
2. The unification Of all work
ers in the shops and locals for a
United Front for the fight against
wage cuts, and for the protection
of the interests Of the workers.
8. The mobilization Of the rank
and file workers to force the Anal
gamated officialdom TO pay unem-
ployment fund to the starving I'M
employed mems clothing workers,
to be administered by rank and
file committee without any dis
ordinations.
4. The mobilization of workers
from the different locals to force
the officialdom of the Amalgamated
to hold regular local meetings with
the right Of the workers to express
freely their opinions, and whereas
this Is impossible the workers them
selves to call local meetings.
5. To organize the workers for a
fight against any taxes or assess
ment that Is or may be imposed by
the Hillman or Beckerman cliques.
6. To lay the basis in this strug-
gle for the formation of a real
fighting union of the mems cloth
ing workers which will be blinded
with the rest Of the workers in the
needle trades industry in struggle
for the betterment of the condi-
tions of the workers.

Red Squads Going House to
House to Expose Fake Relief
anvass Oct. "a and Is for Support to the Com
munist Campaign; Score Astor Banquet

+ streets to starve, and another world
war, and that the only way out is for
the working class to vote red this
year and follow the leadership Of
the Communist Party in struggle.
Fascist Gathering.
Yes, the workers should be told
that Myron c. Taylor, chairman OF
the Finance Committee of the U. S..
Steel Corp. was present at this grand
dinner at the Astor along with Al
Smith, who has come out for an open
fascist dictatorship to enable the
Wall st. government to better carry
through its hunger program.
The revolutionary workers of New
York who will go out in the streets
next Saturday and Sunday to COL
lect funds for the campaign and who
will go from house to house to collect
funds will have a chance to bring
the fighting program Of the Commu-
mist Party to the workers and to call
Mr.. Hoovers bluff also.
Hoover's latest solution for the cri-
sis is to tell the army Of starving
men, women and children in the
richest country of the world to live
on courage, strength and resolu-
ton" Well, the workers can not eat
this! And the Communist Party will
lead the working class not only in
this election struggle but every day
of the year to fight for immediate
jobless relief at the expense of the
bosses and their government, and not
to stand for the hunbug Of capitalist
promises and fine speeches.
Jokes on the JobIess.
Rejecting the humbug and fakery
of the national capitalist party lead
ership, it is interesting to see the
methods which are being used in New
York by teh Tammany County Com
mittee. They have just issued a call
to those who have registered In the
3rd Assembly District to attend a
meeting to hear the Tammany candi-
dates and to be entertained by a
vaudeville performance. This Is the
way the Tammany racketeers and
gangsters who have swindled the city
of millions Of dollars in graft, instead
Of granting unemployment relief,
view the election campaign. While
the Tammany racketeers are putting
on this vaudeville show, they will also
be able to get hold of the voting ma
chine and will demonstrate how to
use it at their meeting.
The District Election Campaign
Committee has made repeated at
tempts to get the machine to demon
strate its use to the workers Of New
York, but the Election Board turned
it down fatty and so did the Vote
Machine Corporation, which does as
it is told to do by the Tammany
racketeers.
