DEMAND RELIEF
Bridgeport Workers
Meet at City Hall

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. Aug. 49,
Two thousand workers demonstrated
here yesterday for immediate relief
in front of the City Hall under the
leadership of the Bridgeport Unem-
ployed Council.
Mayor Buckingham, after sending
word through police that he would
see delegation of three workers
providing no women workers were or
the committee, later refused to see
the committee but sent his secretary
to see them instead. The secretary
noted the demands of the workers
for immediate relief for the starving
unemployed Of Bridgeport but refus-
ed to give an answer.
Women workers in the demonstra-
ton then denounced the mayor for
discriminating against them After
the demonstration the workers pa
raded to the Workers Center, where
speakers from the Unemployed Coun-
Gil outlined the next steps to be
taken in the struggle for immediate
relief at the expense of the bosses
and city government.
The workers voted to continue the
struggle for relief and expressed their
determination to force Mayor Buck
imam to listen to their demands,
especially those of the women work.

KinlOch Miners On
Strike Against 20
Per Cent Wage Cut

KINLOCH, Pa, Aug. 15.-All min
ers in the Kinloch mine walked out
during the latter part of last week
on strike against an indirect wage
cut of 20 per cent. The company was
afraid Of announcing a flat reduc-
ton on the leaders, so it got the
same results by declaring that here
after the men would be paid 60 cents
a car instead of SO cents ton for
machine coal and 38 cents for pick
coal. The cars are big enough to
make wage cut of one fifth through
this new way of figuring.
Day men were cut directly from
$3.50 to $3.50, motormen from So to
$3.50 and machine runners to flat
ten cents a car, divided among four
men on shift, which means two
and a half cents a car per man.
Out of these wages, the company
checks off SO a month for house rent,
a dollar for house coal, rs cents for
doctor, so cents for blacksmith, and
charges cents for powder and 8
cents each for caps.
Kinloch was the center Of hot
struggles in the 1881 strike, and the
men are for the National Miners
Union.

CARNATIONS and take care that they
are conducted properly. This gives
wonderful results. Many of us are
SO inspired with our social activities
that they devote all their leisure
time to it. For instance, Comrade
Ivanova E. and Comrade Musenko
are very often on duty in the am
bulatorium, dining room, co-opera-
tive, etc. Musenko is Is years OF
age, nevertheless she is very active
social worker. Conrade Ivanova
learned to read and write, thanks to
the Soviet Government, which made
provisions for every worker to study
She received premiums (prizes) many
times for her good social work.
1t is important to note that the
workers themselves watch, control
and actively help those workers or
ganizations which serve to satisfy the
Immediate needs Of the workers. The
workers also control the work OF
higher and also of the highest eco
nomic and political organizations.
Please, comrades, write about your

and workers from shops, particularly
Allis Chalmers workers, will be at
the conference. There the demands
for the Hunger March will be dis
cussed and formulated and plans
made to mobilize thousands for the
march from all over the country.
This Hunger March is Of greatest
Importance to the $4,000 employed
and unemployed metal workers Of
Milwaukee.
The Allis Chalmers factory is the
largest and most important metal
shop in Wisconsin. 1t employs over
1000 workers in this unit at capacity.
Now over 5000 are laid off. Those
working are on the stagger system,
averaging a few hours a week, with
pay checks running from SIS up for
two weeks work. Most Of the workers
earn no more than SO for two weeks
under the stagger system. Insurance
costs are deducted from the checks.
There are many accidents-and the
workers are cheated out Of compen-
sation d lie to them through the
connivance of the State Industrial
Commission with the company.
Workers laid off receive neither
medical care nor relief from the
company The spy system is ex-
tended to the unemployed-at the
relief stations Allis Chalmers spies
take note of militant former en-
ployes in order to blacklist them.
Several West Ais dicks are sus-
pected Of having connections with
the company.
Politically, Allis Chalmers controls
directly the West Allis city govern
ment. Four aldermen out of eight
are A. C. fQremen. The Socialist
mayor carries out the orders of the

of the new society which will bring
real human happiness by abolish

bourgeoisie who Cypress and ex-
plot the workers and peasants are
the real criminals. They started
an imperialist war in a desperate
effort to prevent the collapse of the
capitalist system. The terror against
the Communist Party of Japan is
part of the preparation to rush
into this rObber war. But we will
never give up the struggle. The

The court room was filled with

Baldwin Trade Is Reaching Higher GoaT
limiting at Attack Upon Soviet Union
WORKERS OF US.
AND CAN ADA
MUST ANSWER
Build United Action
to Defend the
Soviet Union

OTTAWA, Aug. 16.-British and
Canadian delegates to the Imperial
Economic Conference here failed to
reach an agreement on the question
Of Soviet trade, according to dis
patches from Canada.
Bennett demanded from the British
delegates that they commit them
selves more definitely on the question
of barring Soviet goods from the
British market to the benefit of
Canadian products, and especially
lumber and wheat.
Baldwin, however, stated that the
unity of the Empire does not exclude
trade with the "world at large"
Moved by economic and political
reasons, Baldwin resisted politely
Benefits efforts to force the British
delegates into pledging that Soviet
goods would be completely excluded
from their market.
Unity" in Interest of British Bosses
First of all Baldwin wants to make
sure that "the number of workers
who would be put out Of work as a
result of closing the British market
to Soviet trade would be offset by the
number of workers who will be en-
ployed as result of the new trade
that Bennett offers" This clearly
indicates that one of the main con-
Germs of the British delegates at
Ottawa is to cement the unity of
the Empire" which is undergoing a
disintegrating process, in the interests
of British capitalists and not the
Canadian industrialists.
The Different Goal
Secondly, if Baldwin is reluctant to
close the British market to Soviet
trade it is not because British i'm
perialism is undergoing a change of
heart toward the Soviets. In a speech
delivered at the conference Baldwin
clearly indicated that Soviet trade
is not an end in itself and that it
should be considered only as means
for reaching a different goal.
Look Towards War
Baldwin, the British chief delegate
to the ottawa Conference, declared
that: 1.-THE Empire can only be main
tanned permanently by not forgetting
the ultimate goal.'
AS to this ultimate goal. there is no
doubt that it is hte imperialist armed
attack on the Soviet Union. Bald
wins statement is the statement of
British imperialism, which regards
Soviet trade as a step toward that
goal.

COURT OBSTRUCTS
RUEGG DEFENSE
Admit Prosecutors AS
witnesses"
Gable by Innrecorrl

SHANGHAI, Aug. 16.-Today's pro-
ceedings in the Ruegg case, after
examination Of the witnesses, rep
resented an all-around obstruction Of
the self-defense Of the accused, the
judge and the translator cooperating
in Interruptions and distortions Of
the statements by the accused and
otherwise preventing the Rueggs
from speaking. The judge refused
to make the police witnesses stay for
questioning, declaring it impossible
10 make them wait until the accused
says everything" Paul Ruegg re-
torted to this action Of the court:
"You kept us IA months in Jail with
out trial, but you cannot keep police
men another hour"
The judges remarks that the court
was acting on the basis Of the law
met with a sarcastic exclamation on
the part of the accused, enraged by
today's proceedings. The persistent
refusal of the court to produce evil
dence and to comply with the &C
cused lawful applications continued
today as before. The refusal to en-
large the South American photograph
made the accused remind the court
that the Marking government had
published all photos and documents
during the supposedly preliminary in
vestigations.
Replying to the protest by the &C
cused against police witnesses ap-
pearing in the role of prosecutors,
the judge admitted they appeared
mot exactly as witnesses" He de-
clared their statements will be used
only "for reference" BY this sham
retreat the court actually permits a
dual relation with policemen acting
both as subordinates of the prosecu-
ton british police and as Shanghai
participants in the searches and con-
fiscations as well as witnesses and
even experts, without the court draw
ing the practical conclusions there
from. This sham retreat is plainly a
.maneuver prompted by the mass pro-
tests sweeping the entire world
against the frame-up and attempt to
railroad the Rueggs to death.
With admission of the unlawfulness
of the dual role of the police, the
court must be forced to reject the
police evidence, which will wipe out
even the shaky grounds on which the
case Of the prosecution is based.

labor activities in Wisconsin, as his
father was before him. Out Of the
S17000,O0 surplus Of the company
kept to pay dividends In bad" years,
it is openly known that 100000 is
a strike breaking fund.
Among the demands that will be
discussed at the conference on
Sept. End, will be demand for cash
relief from the company for all laid
off workers, with minimum of SIS
week, the money to come from
surplus funds The question Of more
work for the employed workers under
the stagger system will be another
demand. The bearing of all in
surance costs by the company and
the extension of insurance benefits
to laid-off workers will be a third.
The abolition of the spy and black
list system, the right to organize in
the shop the question of the old
workers, as we'll as the youth, and
women workers, also will be raised
in the demands.
Allis Chalmers is an important war
factory making everything from
small bullets to huge cannons dur
ing war time. The Hunger March
will raise the question Of a concrete
struggle against war preparations.
This Hunger March, uniting the
Milwaukee unemployed and employed,
comes at a time when the Milwaukee
bosses are trying, through cutting Of
relief, lodging taxes, introducing
forced labor, reducing wages and
starting the Community Fund racket.
to shift the burden of caring for the
unemployed upon the workers, and
small property holders.
The Hunger March viii be very
important part of the defensive Of
the workers against these attacks,
and is therefore a major political
event in Milwaukee County.

Convention Adopts Draft Constitution Based
on Class Struggle Negro-White Unity

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 15-"We
can't stand this condition any more.
The union must show us the way
out" said Negro delegate from
Alabama at the national convention
here which today formally launched
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union. And he expressed the
spirit of the sessions, recognition of
the terrific misery of wage cut after
wage cut, and enormous unemploy-
ment, more than half the workers
totally out Of a job, and the others
mostly part time. He showed, too the
growing, fierce resentment, the de-
termination to struggle.
The number of delegates by the
last day had grown to 140, from all
parts of the country, but mainly right
from the plants in the biggest steel
and metal manufacturing companies
like U. S. Steel and Western Electric.
Meldon, secretary Of the Metal
Workers Industrial League, which
called the three day convention, in
his summarizing speech, outlined q
plan for a recruiting campaign to
double the membership by Novem-
Der. Quotas are assigned for 1000
new members each in the three con-
centration districts: Pittsburgh, Ma
honing Valley, and Chicago-Calumet,
also one thousand more generally.
Adopt Constitution
The convention adopted a draft
constitution, guaranteeing democratic
control, no high paid officials, and
efficiency Of action. The draft con-
stitution, reported by Carl Bradley
for a committee which had labored
over it for ten hours, was thoroughly
discussed and amended in details be-
fore adoption by the convention. 1t
will now be referred to the newly
elected national committee, which in
turn will send it to all locals, and
these, after discussion and propos-
ing of amendments will return it to

dent of the United States, and voted
to endorse the platform and election
campaign and candidates of the
Communist Party in this election.

Dear Comrades:
The housewives of the workers
factory town of Dubrovki want to tell
you about their social activities,
which consist in controlling the diff
ferent organizations of the town and
rayon.
Many of us are performing diff
ferent tasks in the rayon Soviet,
others in the Sanitation Department,
still others in the communal dining
room, cooperative organizations, CO.
operative stores, laundry, ambula-
torium. Everywhere we watch after
cleanliness and order. We see to it
that the food products in the CO.
operative stores are of good quality,
that the physicians, nurses and Or
derlies treat the patients attentively
in the ambulatorium. We make re-
ports to different organizations and
see to 1t that all shortcomings are
quickly eliminated. We aslo visit
patients at their homes in order to
investigate their living conditions and
to see to it that they follow all the
instructions of the physicians. All
these social activities we carry on
voluntarily.
Our ambulatorium is equipped
latest apparatus and works very well.
We have ultra violet ray treatment,
electric bath, etc. We also have a
children's department. with an iso-
lation department for patients with
contagious diseases.
Luckily, we very seldom have pa
tents with contagious diseases. On
certain days, one of the best Moscow
children specialists, professor from
the Morozov's Hospital for Children'S
Diseases, works in our ambulatorium.
At the ambulatorium there are physi-
clans on duty who visit patients at
home. All treatment and medicine
is free of charge.

.. Today's session was the last. This
delegates will now go back to be-
come organizers for the union they
have created.
Sunday nights sessions were de-
voted to meetings Of the committees
on constitution, resolutions and nom
nations, and to meetings of confer
tences on organization among Negro
workers and young workers.
The last two days sessions saw the
discussion raised to a high, practi-

Negro White Unity.
A white worker from Alabama cit-
ed facts and figures showing how the
employers split the workers ranks
in the South aolng race lines, and
how the white workers are beginning
to realize the burning need Of unity
Of Negro and white.
Coming from the lips Of a white
Southerner, this speech made a pro-
found impression on the entire con-
vention.
The delegation from Warren, O..
representing the section of the Metal
Workers Industrial League now
the Steel and Metal Workers Indus
trial Union) which was most flour
ishing even before this convention,
told how the work was carried on
there. He told of tactics and strategy
thar may be useful in other fields.
Many delegates agreed that it is
necessary to concentrate activities in
specially chosen points, rather than
dissipate them too much over the
whole country.
Delegates from Chicago told Of the
Indiana hunger march when 5000
steel workers struck terror into the
hearts of their rulers with their de-
mands for relief or jobs from the
company.
Through this act, the union gains
prestige and becomes generally
known to the workers in that Sec
ton.
Glass Struggle.
Stachel, reporting for the Trade
Union Unity League national office,
contrasted the tactics and detectives
of the class struggle unions of which
the TUUL is composed, with the
class collaboration unions like most
of those in the ALL.
Stachel said that the logical con-
clusion Of the class collaboration las
sistance to the employers by the
unions) policy would be conditions
like those in England and Germany
today, wage cuts with no struggle,
and fascism as in Germany. The
logical conclusion of the class strug-
gle policy is shown in the Soviet
Union, where the workers run both
state and industry and there is no
unemployment, and no millionaires,
but constantly rising wages and
shorter work days.
