AMTER CALLS FOR DRIVE TOPUT
OVER LABOR UNITY" CAMPALG.

reach all the workers and handle
their problems. The organ of the
Trade Union Unity League, Labor
Unity, is its printed organizer.
reaching hundreds of. thousands OF
workers in the shops and mines, the
masses OF unemployed workers, tax
ing up their problems, rejecting
their struggles,
Labor Unity must become mass
organ. This can be realized only If
the militants make it their business
TO bring Labor Unity and the slogans
of struggle to the workers and or
ganize them. In order to increase
the circulation of Labor Unity and
to provide basis for New York
edition of Labor Unity by october
/, the Trade Union Unity Council OF
New York is conducting a campaign.
The TUUC proposes various meth
DDS Of increasing the sale and dis
tribution of Labor Unity among
which are: % the increase of bun
die orders in the unions, industrial
leagues and fraternal organizations;
~ the increase Of the subscription
drive "a prize being offered to the
winner to go to the Soviet Union to
celebrate the 14th anniversary Of
the Russian Revolution on Nov. y;
49, the provision of industrial pages,
such as appear periodically in Labor
Unity-that is pages for the textile,
metal, marine, needle industries, etc,
by workers correspondents who re-
port on all struggles, happenings, etc.
This task-a fundamental one for
the struggle-can be accomplished If
every militant gets on the job. This
is the duty of every class-consclous
worker who recognizes the need of
bitter struggle to keep the condi-
tions of the workers from being
further worsened.
On May 80, Labor Unity will issue
a special Scottsboro edition, dealing
with the facts of the murder
frame-up against the nine Negro
working boys, and the duties of
every worker, white and Negro, in
the interests of working class move
ment. to save these nine boys from
the electric chair to which they have
been sentenced. This issue must be
widely circulated Every union,
league and working class organiza-
ton should order large bundles Of
this issue, which raises one of the
fundamental issues before the work
ing class-the unity of white and
Negro workers in the fight against
the bosses.
All militants on the job! Who is
going to win the trip to the Soviet
Union? Who is going to be the
best builder of Labor Unity? Who
is going to be the best reporter of
struggles in the labor movement, in
the shops, and unions, for Labor
Unity? This is the task-how many
will respond? The Labor Unity
campaign must be put across!

CRATER GETS
WHITE-WASHING
.Seabury Says Grain Is
20. K"

NEW YORK. - The Tammany
investigator Samuel Seabury gave
District Attorney Grain, nicknamed
old Mother Hubbard by the Tam
many machine, a whitewash yester-
day on charges. Commissioner Of
Police Mulrooney was one of the
chief witnesses. True to the inter-
ests his political party of racketeers
and gangsters, grafters and under
world thugs, Mulrooney declared
Grain one of the most efficient in
office and praised him particularly
for his cooperation with the Police
Department.
The Unemployed Delegation of
March 6 was sent to Jail by this
same District Attorney Grain and the
same police gangsters while Whalen
was in office. Amter, Minor, Ray
mond, Foster and Lester had taste
of the efficiency of the Tammany
and Republican grafters when they
we're raiIroaded to Harris Island for
six months because they represented
the workers in demanding Unem-
ployment Insurance for the starving
unemployed of New York.
Among other things, Mulrooney
swore Grain had done fine job in
the Rothstein case, But what Grain
did to reveal which of the Tammany
gangsters- had murdered Rothstein
nobody has yet been able 10 find
out. No doubt this is one of the
many inner secrets of Tammany
crimes.
The points on which Grain is still
to be investigated" include the graft
racket in connection with the City
Department of Purchase, the Board
of Standards and Appeals, t he Bail
Bond racket, the Stock Fraud racket,
the Fish Market Racket at Fulton
Market. When the show is over
odd Mother Hubbard" will be found
whitewashed and pure.

The recent statement of Matthew
VOL chief conspirator against the
interests of the working class
within the ranks Of Iabor-to the
effect that labor faces the fight Of
its life" is correct. The working
class of this country, unemployed
and employed truly faces the fight
Of its life. against further misery
and starvation, against the campaign
Of wage cutting and speed-up which
has recently been announced by the
American Bankers Association.
The workers are not to be de-
ceived by the statements of Vol and
Green that the American Fedora
ton of Labor officials will fight.
These hypocrites have a definite
function in the labor movement-to
deceive and betray the workers. But
the workers will fight. The old fear
that the workers will not strike dur

the contrary the wave of strikes is

the militant and revolutionary work
ers have a policy and can furnish
the leadership for this fight.
The Trade Union Unity Aeague
and the Unemployed Councils are
conducting this fight under the mill
taut slogans Of Unemployment Re
lief and Insurance, Organization and
Strike against Wage Cuts and
Speed-up. The work of mobilization
and organization takes place in the
shops. The task of unmasking the
leaders of the Socialist Party, the
Music group, the American Fedora
ton of Labor and other reactionary
unions takes place in the shops and
unions. The revolutionary opposi-
ton groups of militants and left
wingers must be built up in the old
unions. The united front of the
workers in the shops. both those be-
longing to unions and the morgan
lied workers, must be built up in
the form of grievance and shop
committees.
The period of intense struggle for
the entire working class-also against
the persecution of the foreign-born
and particularly against the dis
elimination and lynching Of Negroes

u. s. TO DEPORT
763 IN ONE WEEK
Ellis Island Is Dirty,
Sinking Joint

NEW YORK. - The u. S. Com
missioner of immigration, Benjamin
DAY, announced today that "765
deportees are awaiting sailing or
ders" on Ellis Island. There are now
more than 1000 workers held in the
filthy pens at Ellis Island, 1853 of
whom face deportation within the
next 10 days.
During the past few weeks alone,
the agents of the bosses fascist gov
eminent have picked up no less than
800 workers, including our own COM
rade T. H. Ii, whom the Department
of Labor head Doak is particularly
determined to deliver to the hang
men of the Marking government to
be murdered in cold blood.
463 of these workers now inpris-
oned at Ellis Island arrived today
at Jersey City on a train bound
from Seattle which raided homes,
terrorized foreign born and seized
workers in all the principal cities
along the route.
The conditions on Ellis Island in
the slave pens are UNDESIRABLE. Over
crowding, vile sanitation, rotten food
have begun to make the workers
rebel and a spontaneous demonstra-
ton broke out during the week, the
workers refusing to eat the sinking
rotten stuff set before them. The
campaign for the protection of the
foreign and native born workers, Ne
gro and white, must rally for more
determined struggle than ever before
to answer this challenge of the bos-
ses government.
