CARPENTERS IN
NEWARK FIGHT
SELLOUT OF AFL
Takers Put Over Wage
Slashes

NEWARK, N. 1.-THE office of the
District Council of Carpenters and
Joiners was the scene of a revolt Of
rank and file carpenters against the
most brazen sel1-out ever made by
the District Council officialdom.
This situation came about as a re-
suit Of a settlement that was made
by one of the District Council bust
ness agents, Chas. Bryant, in a strike
pulled about two weeks ago by the
pressure that was brought from the
rank and file at the local member
ship meetings.
On this job union carpenters were
working for as low as five dollars per
day, eight dollars and twenty cents
below the union scale Of wages.
After the job had been pulled
these same men, who had been work
ing for such low scale of wages.
went back to work without a settle
ment being made. When the car
penters found this out, they went in
a body, this time without the con-
sent of the officials, and pulled the
scsbs off once more.
The strike was settled by the bust
ness agent, allowing the same boss
to rehire the same men who had been
working as scabs.
The men came to the conclusion
that an organized attempt would
have to be made by the rank and
file membership in order to defeat
the dastardly sell-out jobs of the Of
ficials.
At this meeting about DO carpen-
ters were present and the Newark
Carpenters Center was created. An
executive committee of five members
were elected to work out the program
Of action to be submitted to the
membership.
1t was decided to call mass meet
ing of all carpenters, organized and
unorganized, in Newark within two
weeks.
At local membership meeting which
will be held during the week, the
rank and file carpenters will demand
an accounting from their officials,
and no doubt Chas. Bryant will not
be very much pleased.
Watch for the date of the mass
meeting.

looks like a benevolent old Kentucky
colonel, has handed a man and wo-
man with eight children, an eviction
notice. He threatens to evict every
man who strikes Kettle Island, Ell

operators have answered with a Vi
cious weapon--eWcting Of the miners
from the only homes they have
known-using the force of the law
to run them off Of the camp, because
the miner has dared to say he would
starve no longer. At Elcomb eight
families have received three day no

The other day in a pour rain, a
family Of seven was evicted. This
added cruelty was to say to the min

Demonstration Which

In 3 desperate attempt to put an
end to the picketing which has forced
the Brighton Beach bakers to sell
bread at cents a pound and rolls
at IL cents dozen, the son of the
owner Of the Sea Lane Bakery at sis
Brighton Beach Ave. attacked Mrs.
Rice, q 50-year old woman Monday
night. Immediately after the picket
had been attacked from the back, a
crowd of protesting workers gathered.
They demanded Of policeman

thug. The capitalist keeper of the
peace refused and said that ut was
good for her"
A little while later an open air
meeting was held by the strike COM
mittee. This turned into a demon
stration with over 1000 people partic-
ipating. The actions OF the bosses
were vigorously scored. This time
the police interefered In favor Of the
bosses and used their clubs freely on
the women. 1t took more than half
an hour before this brutality was
aSle to break Up the demonstration.
The Rank and File Strike Commit
tee and the Wonnen's Council appeals
to all Brighton workers to come to
strike headquarters and the struck
shops and help picket. The commit
tee also urges the workers to demand
that all groceries sell bread at 5 cents
a pound and rolls at IS cents dozen,
as some are already doing. If they
refuse the workers should not buy
anything in these stores.

1000 Rally in Support of
German Seamen's Strike

man seanlen for the Communist
Party, pointed out that the Commu-
mist Party was leading the working
class of the world in their Interna-
Jional struggle against capitalism and
stressed upon the Importance of the
marine industry in the revolutionary
struggles Of the workers.
Speakers for the Marine Workers
Industrial Union. which is leading
the strike, pointed out that the U.
S. Coast Guard has been used as an
international strike breaking ma
chine in an attempt to smash the
strike, while in the Soviet Union
during the recent German seamen's
strike when 100 German ships were
tied up in Soviet ports, the entire APP
paratus Of the workers state had
been used to prevent the importation
Of scabs to man the ships. Seamen
in America, 40 per cent of whom are
unemployed and where wages have
reached as low as $45 a month, we're
called upon to support the German
seamen by joining the Marine Work
ers' Industrial Union, American sec
ton of the International of Seamen
and Harbor workers, to fight against
all attacks of the sllipowners and to
build mass international organize
ton that will become q mighty wea-
pom for the defense of the Soviet
Union.
Prolet- Buehne Gives Sketch.
One of the high lights of the meet
ing was a sketch, presented by the
Prolet-Buehne, sstirizing Paragraph
AZ Of the German Constitution, which
authorizes Bruenings Dictatorship.
This paragraph, supported by the
Social Fascists, is the legal weapon
for enforcing national wage cuts
such as the one of 10 per cent de
creed by the government and which
precipitated the strike.
The overflow crowd, which was ex-
ceptionally enthusiastic, blocked the
street singing revolutionary songs
after the meeting was adjourned.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 10. -- The
family Of Ozie Powell, one Of the
Scottsboro boys, has been living in d
ranshackle place at 344B Rawson ST.,
in Atlanta, Ga. The white landlord,
Mr.. Mcneil Is real shark. His
tenants have not been able to pay
their rent on time. On Saturdays,
Mr.. Mcneil, or a black Judas who
helps him do his dirty work, patrols
the row of shacks owned by this
bloodsucker to see that none Of the
tenants move out with rent unpaid.
If anyone tries 1t, they put lock on
their doors so they can't get away,
Often he takes away furniture or
bedding to make UP for unpaid rent.
He has a big store stocked with ar
ticles stolen from the few sticks and
rags of his poverty-stricken tenants,
which he sells to other workers who
are still able to buy such Junk.
Two years ago the Powell family
was q little better off. The father
had a Job and was earning SIS a
week with which he tried to take
care of a family of five, with the
mother working and helping a little.
So he was able to buy his little
daughter a rocker for Christmas be-
cause it was damaged and repaired
and he got it cheap, A few weeks
ago Mrs. Powell saw this rocker, dis
guised in different color paint, in
the Mcneil home. She recognized 1t
by the way it was damaged and
repaired.
When Mrs. Powell TOLD the Inter
national Labor Defense about the
trouble, she was having with her
landlord, she was assisted in finding
another place. She had been paying
81 week for dump unfit for
human beings to live in.
Mrs. Powell paid up her back rent
and told her landlord she was NOV
ing. He tried to persuade her and
her husband stay, telling them that
if they would stop messing" with
that red" organization he would give
them a months rent free. He also
told them that he has friend who
knows Mr.. Darrow and would get him
to take Ozie's case if they would cut
loose from the I. l.. d.
1t is such blood-sucking landlords
and bosses that are hte friends of the
N. A. A. C. P. These are the people
who are working hard in hand with
Walter White and william Pickins
in the attempt to eliminate the mill
tant defense policy of the I. L. D.

Proposal to Transport Clubs By
Air May Meet With OPPOSE
ton From Players

Chicago, Jan. 21.-R-American
Association clubs may produce q new
kind Of baseball holdout next season
the player who refuses to fly.
As Thomas Jefferson Hickey, presi-
dent Of the Glass IA loop. studied the
proposal to ship the clubs from park
to park by air, he admitted some diff
ficulty would be encountered with
those players. who think flying Is
about as safe as groove ball to Babe
Ruth.
: mo doubt, we will have some aerial
holdouts for time II we go through
with our plan to use planes" Presi-
dent Hickey said, but I don't think
we will be troubled very long. When
the Columbus team flew last summer,
two Of the players refused to fly.
They were sent on by train but flew
the next time with the rest Of the
boys and liked it. OF course, we can't
compel any player to fly. All we can
do In such cases Is to do like we did
at Columbus-let them take train"
President Hickey said no definite
decision as to flying would be made
for two or three weeks or until the
air travel companies could present
their rates.

Editors Note: This is another
Of series of stories on results Of
The Associated Press sports edi-
tors poll among the country's ex-
perts on outstanding points Of
athletic interest.

New York, Jan. 21.-(P)-It may be
difficult to convince the average duff
fer but golf, in the opinion of the ma
tons sports experts, Simultaneo usly
involves more luck and skill than any
other branch of athletic activity.
They agree these two factors are the
only ones involved in the pursuit OF
the royal and ancient game. Football
leads all the rest, where strategy Is
concerned, and rowing is considered
to require more strength and STAINING
than any other sport.
These are the principal results OIL
an Associated Press poll of sports ed
itors' and writer's opinions.
The views are widely divergent as ia
whether golf requires more skill than
baseball, or. in fact, whether tennis is
not entitled to the call over either. On
the basis of votes, golf leads with a.
baseball comes next with 10 and ten
mis- is third with II. But that's where
the debate begins.
On the question of strength or
stamina, rowing is at the head of the
LIFT by good margin. The vote shows
q in favor of the crew men, Is for
wrestling, IA for boxing, u for foot
ball, four each for basketball and
long distance running, three for ice
hockey. There also is vote for
weight-lfting and another for 440-
yard run, toughest of all foot races.
Football ranks first in the require
ment of strategy writes George
White Of the Dallas News. OF course
chess or checkers might be given pre-
ference II you care to list them as
sports"
Chess, as matter OF fact, gets two
votes and contract bridge one. Other
wise the vote as to strategy shows:
Football ST, baseball IA, boxing and
tennis 4 each.

Ignite Mining Among
Big N. ID. Industries

North Dakota's vast deposits Of lig-
mite coal, once believed commercially
useless, have taken that place among
the states major industries
Production has increased from $780,
600 tons in 1920 to 100000 tons In
1880, as the fuel came into more gen.
eral use within the state. Exports
to adjoining states also have proved
an important factor In increasing the
output.
In seams of from 6 to 60 feet In
thickness, the state has estimated de-
posts Of 600 billion tons Of Ignite,
covering $4,000 square miles. Devel-
opment Of these resources had been
hampered for many years by lack Of
use Of the coal, but this has been
overcome to such an extent that in
some sections little other fuel Is used.
The industry employees thousands OF
men, with a payroll Of more than
SC, 000, 900 annually.
