SHOW YPSELS TO
BE DISRUPTERS
Phrase Mongers That
Aid the Bosses

NEW YORK-The role of the
Young Peoples Socialist League as
an aid to the capitalists in their
preparation for war is exposed in a
statement of the Young Communist
League issued yesterday.
"The descriptive tactics used by the
YPSL in the N Y. United Front
National Youth Day conference are
just a part of their general policy
of shouting radical phrases against
war, and then betraying the young
workers into war, just as the lead
ers of the Socialist Party did in the
last war.
However, among the rank and
file members of the Yipsels, the
realization of the true role of the
socialists is growing. The leaders
of the organization are making all
efforts to stop hteir members from
participating in National Youth Day
One member of the Yipsels in New
York has already been expelled, and
another is being brought on charges
for taking part in preparations for
N. Y. D.
In Chicago, also, members of the
Yipsels are taking part in the N Y.
D. preparations in spite of all the
leaders of the organizations can do.
The first National Youth Day, to
be held on May 3Oth and 31st, will
effectively unmask the treachery of
the Socialists" and demonstrate
clearly to the working youth that
only the revolutionary struggle
against militarism and war carried
on by the Young Communist League
is the only correct means of fight
ing imperialist war!"

Rank and File Give
Wage Cut Proofs to
Show Hillman Lies

NEW YORK. - Rank and file
workers, M Liebstein, H. Eisen, and
Sherman met the mo wage cuts"
statements of the Hillman hench-
men in Local 2, Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers in its meeting Wednes-
day, with concrete examples of wage
cuts under the Hillman regime.
They showed the extent of wage
cuts in Hyman Stalofsky's snop GO
per cent?, in Ted Louis, Hyman
Bergman's shop and in Simon Ach-
kerman's shop $50 per cent? Then
they exposed the fact that Hillman
is even now conspiring with the bos-
ses to renew the old speed-up and
wage-cut agreement. They also
showed the proposed fake stoppage
by which the employers would be
organized and nothing won for the
workers The 400 tailors present
heartily applauded.

The Trade Union Unity Council
Of Greater New York is at present
carrying on a campaign for the
establishment of New York Edition
of Labor Unity. The growing influ-
ence of the T. U. U. L., the increased
number of strike struggles, the de-
veloping movement inside the A. F.
of L. locals against the bureaucracy,
the complicated problems we are
confronted with in our struggle
against unemployment, makes it i'm
perative and absolutely necessary to
have a New York Edition of Labor
Unity as soon as possible.
The factories located in New York
and vicinity are not of the same
type as in Chicago, Youngstown, or
Akron, where thousands of workers
are concentrated in one factory. The
bulk Of the factories in New York
are comparatively small in size The
problems of the workers greatly
vary. In order to reflect the prob
lens of the workers in Labor Unity,
much space is needed.
The only way to overcome this
unsatisfactory situation is through
the establishment of a New York
edition. The basis exists because of
a good objective environment, and
also our revolutionary unions,
leagues and fraternal organizations
are a sufficient base for start.
From recent experience in issuing
special New York editions, we know
that we can sell thousands of copies.
Here are some facts:
January 18th New York Edition
81, $50 copies.
February 21st New York Edition
24,7O0 copies
May LIST New York Edition-13, 500
copies.
However, these good possibilities
are not yet utilized by our unions
and leagues to a sufficient degree,
with the result that the regular
weekly circulation in New York is
only 2,700. Which shows that not
even one-third of our TUUL mem
bership read the Labor Unity, let

LAY THE BASIS FOR A NEW YORK

alone the workers in the shops and
factories. Many unions and leagues
don't even have a Labor Unity
Agent, and still others have mere
formal attitude. These weaknesses
must be overcome as the first step
in our campaign for the New York
edition. The Trade Union Unity
Council proposes the following plan
to be carried out as a guarantee for
a permanent New York edition:
% One thousand yearly sub
scriptions by october 1st-the or
ganization or individual that collects
the most subs will be sent as a dele
gate to the Soviet Union on Novem-
Der 7th. This is not a mere promise.
The Council is now setting aside a
special fund so that the most active
worker viii be able to go.
C2) Each organization is to dou-
BILE it's present bundle order.
80 Members of tn .eaffiliated or
CARNATIONS should undertake to sell
Labor Unity in the places where
they work
90 Each shop group should de-
velop a systematic sale of the Labor
Unity.
90 In shops that are controlled
by our unions, the shop chairman
should be responsible for supplying
the Labor Unity to the workers
there.
co To develop the subscription
drive among our own members, call
ing upon the workers who are en-
pioyed to subscribe.
CD The UNIONS, leagues and fra
ternal organizations should arrange
Labor Unity affairs.
go In organizations where we
have comparatively new member
ship, discussions on the role of Labor
Unity should be developed.
90 To develop an active group
of workers correspondents in each
union and league.
C0) To issue special industrial
pages, similar to the one issued by
the Metal Workers League in the
April 25 issue of Labor Unity.

NEW K.-Friday the strike
against the Chopper Knitting Mills,
conducted by the Knitgoods Depart
ment was settled with a partial VIC
tory for the workers.
Three discharged workers have
been reinStated, the firm agreed to
recognize the shop committee, to do
away with the discrimination and to
withdraw the wage reduction. One
of the lower paid workers also re-
ceived an increase. The workers of
this shop carried on the struggle very
nilitantly This struggle was won
as a result Of the solidarity Of all
the workers with the exception of
one cutter, a member Of the Shle-
singers Local 10, who scabbed
against the workers under the in
smucHons Of the ShIesinger compa-
ny union.
The workers in this strike we're
greatly assisted by the spirit of soil

Deportation For
Arrested Picket
Venezuelan Worker In
Danger of Death

NEW YORK.-A Mexican food
worker Guillermo Palacias. who was
on the picket line in the needle
trades strike is now slated to be de-
ported to Mexico.
The immigration authorities are
doing their usual investigation,
and without doubt he will be de-
ported to Mexico if we don't rally
to his support.
Another Latin American worker.
Machado, was arrested in the same
house with Lee, and is being de-
ported to Venezuela. NIachado is
political immigrant from Venezuela.
If this worker is not permitted to
leave the country voluntarily, he is
sure to be murdered by the Fascist
regime in Venezuela. The Vene-
zuelan government is one of the
most murderous, having more than
5000 political prisoners in its dun
geons.
1t is expected that by midsummer
$4,000 Mexican workers will be de-
ported. These deportations will con-
tinue until the workers, foreign-born
and native, organize and stop them.
The Committee for the Protection of
the Foreign Born is formed for this
purpose. Every workers organiza~
ton should affiliate with it and
support its work.
The City Committee for the Pro
lection Of Foreign Born will hold an
entertainment and dance on Satur-
day evening, May 30, at the Finnish
Hall, is w. 126th st. Prominent

sented with talent from different

SCOTT MAY QUIT
HOWARDPOST

A feeling of bitterness which is
said to have been growing for
some time between DR.. Mordecai
w. Johnson, president of Howard
University, and DR.. Emmett j.
Scott, secretary-treasurer, may re-
suit in the latter resigning, it was
reported today.
Many changes in the business
personnel of the university are
said to have kindled the i'll feel
ing between the two. Important
among the changes was the ap-
pointment of Albert Casselle, uni
versity architect, as manager of
building and grounds and DR.. Will
liam Nelson as administrative as
sistant to the president.
Before these changes, DR.. Scott
had been in charge of the build
ings and grounds and also admin
istrative head Of the university
during of the absence of DR.. John
son. John Cromwell, formerly
teacher at Dunbar High School,
was appointed auditor of the uni
versity several months ago. DR..
Scott came to Howard as secre-
tary-treaSurer in 1918 and at
which time DR.. ]. Stanley Durkee
was named president of the
school.

He suggested preferential tariffs

ties for their right to do business
within the state
Since 1910 railroads have paid in
to the state treasury four percent OF
their gross earning in Ohio. They
have tremendous investments In
their rights-of-wa tracks, termi-
mails, equipment and shops, on all or
which they pay the general property
tax. The roadbeds of the competing
bus lines are constructed and main
tanned at public expense. A vacant
lot will serve as bus terminal.
The equipment consists Of vehicles
listed on the tax duplicate at normal
figures after the first years use.
The general property tax of bus op-
orators, therefore, is negligible.
The usefulness of this latest pas
senger transportation service is not
questioned. Fifteen hundred buses
carry 30,000,000 passengers a year
in Ohio. Despite the fact that these
gigantic, usurping monarchs Of the
highways do an annual business in
excess of SIS, 5,000,e00 they pay into
the public Golfers a pitiful sum in
taxes, barely sufficient 10 pay for
the construction of five miles of
modern highways wide enough to
carry the colossal 35-passengeT
coaches on wheels without endanger-
ing the safety of other motorists.
The people Of Ohio are beginning TO
wonder how long their 5000, ,000,-
600 system of paved roads is to be
appropriated by the huge COM
mercial buses which never have paid
proportionately for the upkeep OF
! the highways. X
The Yoder bill now pending IN
! the Ohio senate seeks to impose an
excise tax of 1.35 percent on tho
/ gross earnings of bus companies, the
same rate levied against all public
utilities, except railroads, which pay
| four percent. Why this discrimina-
! tion between the railroads and
buses? Since the railroads pay a
large general property tax in addi-
tion to their excise tax Of four per-
! cent, tax OF approaching 10 per-
cent on the gross earnings of motor
buses would not appear to be excess
sive, all things considered. The
Yoder bill should be amended so as
to raise the proposed rate COM
mensurate with the privileges enjoy
ed and then be enacted into law
