Rochester Clothing Workers

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, April s.
The Amalsamated Clothing Work
ers and the bosses of Rochester can
not break the mihtsncy of the cloth
ing workers. This was clearly shown
recently by a demonstration in the
mushroom and throughout the shop
of the Fashion Park Clothing Com
pazTy, which made IL impossible for
Coiint B. De Furegoni, commander
of the group of IL members of the
fascist Academy OF Physical Bduca-

AS soon as Harry c. D'Annunzio,
one, Of the bosses Of the Fashion
Park, introduced the commander, as

TRIAL OF NEGRO
WORKERS TODAY
Smash Garvey-Police
Frame-up!

NEW YORK.-This morning. at 10
o'clock, in the 121st st. Court, near
Third Ave, the case will come to
trial of the two unemployed Negro
workers, Alfred Williams and Camp
bell, whom the Garvey national re-
formists and their police allies are
trying to frame-up on the fake
charge of assault and robbery. Ali
workers who can should attend the
trial and demonstrate their solidar-
ity with the framed workers.
The two workers were arrested in
the headquarters of the Harlem IN
employed Council at 353 LenoX Ave.
on Saturday afternoon, several hours
after Garvey gangsters, led by the
faker, Grant, who is head of the
Tiger Division of the U. N. I. A, had
attacked five unemployed Negro
workers at 127th st. and Lenox Ave,
few minutes after they left the
headquarters.
Grant came to the headquarters
with two cops, charging that he had
been attacked and beaten by the
Negro workers for telling them not
to fight against the bosses starya-
ton system. When the cops re-
fused to make an arrest he left and
returned later with another cop, who
entered the headquarters with drawn
gun. Grant then made the charge
that he had been assaulted and
robbed, and had Comrades Williams
and Campbell arrested.
The two workers were held in the
exorbitant bail of $4,000 each by the
bosses court, which openly exposed
its alliance with the Garvey reform
lists in their attacks on revolutionary
Negro workers who are fighting,
jointly with the white workers,
against unemployment and starva-
ton, for relief and unemployment in
surance and against lynching and
boss persecution of Negro and for
eign-born workers.
These murderous attacks on Negro
workers by the Garvey reformists are
part of a general campaign by the
Negro reformists of all camps, in
alliance with the bosses and their
police, to intimidate the Negro
workers and prevent them from join
ing the mass revolutionary struggles
against starvation and boss terror.
Another reformist group is planning
a fake unemployment protest parade
on April Is in Harlem. Together
with the Garvey misleaders, they
are advancing the illusion that race
loyalty Ito Negro business men and
landlords) and the demand for few
thousand jobs in Harlem can solve
the misery of the tens of thousands
of unemployed Negro workers in
Harlem.
The Trade Union Unity League
and its Unemployed Councils demand
equal work at equal pay for Negro
workers! Immediate relief and un-
employment insurance for all unem-
ployed! The T. U. U. L. calls upon
the workers, Negro and white, native
and foreign born, to fight against all
forms of discrimination, mass viola
ton of Jim-Crow laws and practices!

| and some of the foremen of the es-
tablishment did not succeed in estab-
fishing order enough for the fascist
to address the workers gathered in
the lunchroom at noon time. The
fascists then tried to quell the crowd
by singing the national fascist hymn,
but their song was drowned out by
the strains Of 'Bandiera Rosa" ana
other revolutionary songs sung by
the workers.
Bosses and AmalgaMated"
The turmoil continued till after
one o'clock when the workers were
ordered back to their machines by
the bosses and the business agent
Of the Amalgamated.
The Amalgamated officials in this
city still pretend to be anti-fascists,
but this is confined only in the meet
ings of the local union and especi-
ally in the Italian local, when they
want to levy a tax on the workers
to finance their social-fascist organ,
"Il Nuovo Monde" But in this case
they have shown themselves ready
to follow the footsteps of Bellanca
and the rest of the clique, who be-
fore the workers claim to be opposed
to fascism but are found in banquets
with representatives of the Italian
government and the fascist party.
The workers of the Fashion Park,
in spite of the Amalgamated officials
and their bosses, demonstrated their
hatred against the murderous regime
of faScism in Italy, not only in the
dining room where the delegation
was supposed to address them, but
also in the several departments of
the shop, while the delegation was
going through it. The above-men-
toned slogans were ringing through
out the establishment during the
time that the fascist delegation was
visiting the place.

ALL" What a pleasing sign for an
unemployed and homeless worker! I
went in there and applied for help.
This preacher, an "angel of god"
informed me that I could come in
and listen to the gospel but that it
was against the rules of the house
for him to permit a Negro to sleep
there. I sat down at the door as I
was not allowed to sit in one of the
seats on the inside of the hall and
listened to his sermon. He uttered
the following gems: IF I would give
you men a thousand dollars you men
would call it a wonderful gift, but I'm
going to give you more. I'm going
to give you Jesus Christ. Pray, my
men, pray that you may have en-
ployment on earth and everlasting
life when you die"
This was the food and shelter I
was offered. Prayer to feed my
hungry stomach, and Jesus Christ for

JAIL MILITANT
NEEDLE STRIKERS
So Misleaders Could
Betray III, Strike

ST. LOUIS. Mo, April 6.-By put
ting militant workers into Jail at the
beginning of the strike, the A. F. OF
L. takers have succeeded in captur-
ing control of the strike of the 600
dressmakers in Collinsville, ILL.,, in
order to betray it.
Since the strike began they held
secret conferences with the bosses
which are never reported to the
strikers.
They have not allowed the strikers
to elect mass representation strike
committee. The committee which is
supposed to lead the strike is a com
mittee of u better paid girls in the
shop who are under the influence OF
B. Gilbert of the L L. C. w. U. who
put himself, the mayor of the town,
and jester of the A. F. L. Trades
Council on the committee.
In spite of the attempts of the
takers to dampen the militancy OF
the strikers, militant picket lines took
place and scabs were stopped from
going to work.
In the betrayal of the strike the
takers went as far as inviting the
boss to speak at the meeting of the
strikers in order to influence the
workers to go back to work for the
same wages.
The N.T.W.I.U. issued a call to
the workers be on watch and not
to allow the strike to be sold out
by the takers and to elect a mass
strike committee and allowing secret
conferences with the boss and the
continuation of the militant mass
picketing until they win all the de-
mands.

BARS RELIEF"
Jobless Told They Must
Go to Church

NEW YORK.-UnleSS starving un-
employed colored workers attend
church regularly and swallow the re-
ligious dope peddled by the parasitic
preacher agents of the bosses, they
are to be denied even the little
meagre relief handed out by the
Mayors Committee.
This is the dictum of Fred r.
Moore, Negro reformist alderman and
editor of the reactionary New York
Age. Moore. who few days ago
told delegation OF Negro and white
workers that he was not interested
in the struggle against lynching as
no one would lynch him in his Of
flee, sits in on the committee and
questions the unemployed, particular
ly the colored women, as to whether
they go to church or not. II they
answer yes, they are given the starva-
tion rations which the bosses and
their government agencies are pass
ing off as relief. The "relief" given
to last a week, is just enough for
three days even with sl1imping.
Applicants for relief are also told
by Moore to beware OF the Commu-
mist Party, and its struggle against
starvation.
Moore, who has consistently be-
trayed the struggles of the Negro
masses, and who in his own words, is
not interested in the struggle against
lynching because he considers that
his own person, as a servile tool OF
the imperialist bosses, is safe from
the bosses lynching terror which
took over 43 victims last year, 10 al

Ala, on this very day is melting to

Negro workers, does not want the
Negro workers to join the mass revo-
lutionary struggle against the bosses
system, in which Moore himself has
substantial stake. Instead of strug-
gle, he offers them religious dope!

DENOUNCE RUSSKY

Workers Rap Threat
to Sue "Daily"

NEW YORK, April 6. - A num-
ber Of resolutions were adopted by
many mass organizations of the
Russian workers expressing strong
INDICATION in regard to the threat of
the Russky Golos to call the Daily
worker to capitalist court because the
Daily worker has exposed the RusSky
Golos as having advertised for
money, the swindle schemes of some
real estate companies.
The conference of the Russian Mu-
tual Aid Society of New York dis
trict, representing over one thousand
workers, was one of the organiza-
tions which adopted strong resolu-
ton against the RuSsky Golos
Branches of this society in Boston
and Peabody, Mass, Cleveland, De-
troit and other cities have Joined this
protest. Workers organizations in
Canada, the Workers Maxim Gorky
Club of Toronto, and the Workers
Maxim Gorky Club of Branford came
to the defense of the Daily Worker
against the threats of the Russky
Golos. A conference of Russian
workers organizations in Detroit has
also expressed its protest.
Many individual workers have sent
letters to the Novy Mir lauding the
Daily Worker for its expose of the
RuSsky Golos. The following are ex-
tracts from resolution of the Detroit
Workers Cooperative.
AT the beginning of the revolution
Russky Golos had definitely defended
the Kerensky regime. It then donned
the working class mask in order to
deceive the Russian workers, posing
as friend of the working class
Soviet power. Here in America,
Russky Golos has appealed to work
ers to vote for the Republican Party,
the party of the capitalist syndicates
and trusts, the enslayers and oppres-
sors of the working class. Russky
Golos has threatened the Daily
Worker with court proceedings. BY
this it has exposed definitely it's yell
low treacherous substance to the Rus
sian workers.
I'VE great the Communist press,

Protest from Cleveland
I'VE, members of the seemed
branch of the Russian National Mu-
tual Aid Society, are deeply indignant
over the fact that the false friend of
the workers, Russky Golos, is appeal
ing to capitalist justice against the
true working class organ in the Eng
lsh language, the Daily Worker, be-
cause the latter has exposed the wolf
in the sheep skin, (Russky GoloS).
We brand with shame the Russky
Golos for its treacherous and dirty
work. Not a single printed word for
the Russky Golos-all in defense of
the Daily Worker and the Novy
