AKRON, Ohio, Oct. 30.-Following
his arrival here last night from an
election rally in Canton, James w.
Ford Communist candidate for vice
president, was arrested and taken to
the police station, but was released
later when it became apparent to the
city officials that the masses of work
ers were preparing to come out in
masses to demand his release.
Arrested along with Ford was B. D.
Arnis, District Organizer of the Com
munist Party from Cleveland, Ohio,
and two workers.
The two white workers who were
arrested with Ford and Amis were
subjected to a special grilling as to
their association with Negro workers.
The arrest is an attempt on the part
of the capitalists here to break up the
growing unity of black and white
workers il the struggles for unem-
ployment insurance and relief as ex-
emplified in the recent mass funeral

ence for march preparations urge all
working class organizations in the city
to begin Immediately the collection
of food, clothing and funds for the

fairs for this purpose is proposed. Or
CARNATIONS doing so should communi-

The chairman of the first session
Of the conference, in his opening re-
marks, pointed out that 1.-THE pur-
pose of this conference is to mobilize
the workers of Greater New York and
vicinity to carry on united struggle
this coming Winter for relief"
I'VE are factors in this situation"
Benjamin said, in describing the hun
ger offensive being conducted now
by the bankers against the city's
population. 1--WE are not helpless;
we are helpless only if we do not
fight back; our task, the task Of this
conference and similar conferences in

Carl Winter quoted figures to show
the growth of unemployment and the
lowering of living standards of the
workers in the United States. He also
added that the only answer which the
workers can make under these cir
cumstances is to fight back. He ex-
planned the necessity OF fighting
against the vicious lob sharing sys-
tenn, which was condemned by the
conference. By thus making the en-
ployed share their time and wages
with the unemployed, the capitalist
simply shift the whole burden of the
crisis onto the shoulders of the work
ing class, he said.

PRINTERS DEMAND.
STRIKE SANCTION.
Over $500 Meet and
Denounce Wage Cut

NEW YORK Over 1880 members.
in the biggest meeting in years of
Local of the International Typo
graphical Union, yesterday condemned
International President Howard for
refusing to grant strike sanction to
New York printers and for his in
s.sting upon the proposals of the
Printers League (employers) for a
new contract with wage cuts up to
16 per cent, partial abolition of pri-
GRITTY, ETC., for book and job shops.
The vote was by secret ballot and was
an overwhelming majority for de-
handing strike sanction of the Inter
national Executive Council.
The local executive committee
brought in resolution demandinr
of the International executive council
that it grant strike sanction for all
shops that attempt to apply the con-
ditions proposed, which have been
voted down by referendum.
Membership Must Run Strike
The officials, although forced to
take such a stand by the militancy of
the membership, refused to recognize
the leading nilitants, members of the
Amalgamation Party, who have been
advocating action, instead of the
"watchful waiting policy" of the local
officials. One militant did get the
floor, and pointed out that the strike
must be conducted and won by the
membership. After that nobody else
from among the militants got the
floor.
The situation is very tense. Several
shops have already tried to enforce
the ultimatum of the employers: wage
cuts, hiring out of priority, and other
such violations of the old contract.
In the past. local officials have
stated that as soon as overt acts had
been committed, the men would be
pulled out, but this has not been
done.
Urge Fight Against Violations
The Amalgamation Party demands
that wherever violations take place,
the men be called out on strike. In
addition to this, the Amalgamation
Party calls on the membership to pos
itively reject the six-day operation,
and to insist on a five-day week with
out reduction in pay.
The Amalgafnation Party is issuing
a call to all chapels urging the mem
bers to demand strike in all shops
where violations have taken place.

CARPENTERSBACk
PROGRAM OF c. P.
C h e e + Weinstone's
Expose of S. P.

A symposium to which the four
parties were invited turned into de-
bate between the Communist candi-
date for U. S. Senate, William w.
Weinstone,, and the socialist candi-
date, Nathan Fine at a special meet
ing of Carpenters Local 2090 held at
Bohemian Hall, 321 E. 73d St., last
Thursday night.
Weinstone pointed out that the
Communist Patry is fighting for the
immediate demands of the workers,
whereas the socialists betray the fight
against wage cuts, unemployment re-
lief, the bonus and the struggle
against imperiahst war. He refuted
the pretensions of the Socialist Party
that they are practical" as against
the Impractical Communist Party.
S. p. Betrays Fight.
The socialists, he said, like to pre-
sent the Communist Party as forsak
ing the immediate struggles in the in
terests Of revolution, whereas the
truth, stated Weinstone sis that the
Communists are the only ones who
are vigorously fighting against every
form of oppression of the workers,
combining this fight with an organ
lied fight for the overthrow of the
entire system, whereas the socialists
denounce the struggle against CAPT
tahst attacks and betray the entire
fight for the overthrow Of the sys-
tenn.
The meeting adjourned with enthu-
siastic applause for the presentation
Of the position of the Communist
Party and with jeers for the socialist
candidate. In the closing remarks,
Nathan Fine had great difficulty in
presenting the position Of the Social
list Party because of the disgust of
the yU0rkarS

for the Negro people.
We find such enthusiastic out
bursts, for example, as the following
taken from the October 23rd issue
Of the Greensboro, North Carolina,
Daily News:
Norman Thomas is influencing the
masses in singularly impressive way
and certainly there is no American
more distinguished for qualities of
head and heart Under the lead
ership Of this fine specimen OF hum
| anity the Socialists are consolidating
and isolating large body of protest
Boss Sheet Acclaims Thomas
Flaming Spirit of Service
1.-THE same tone is adopted by the
Lexington Herald of October 18th
in their leading editorial: An alum
nus Of Princeton and of Union Theo-
logical Seminary. Mr.. Thomas COM
bines the rich culture of these great
universities with a vivid Imagination
and flaming spirit Of service.
OF fine intellect and mental inter
gritty, accounted an excellent speaker,
he deserves, as we are confident he
will receive, a courteous hearing by
generous audience tina will give
to his plea whatever weight their
own intellect and training permit
Il could cite a dozen more such
eulogies in the press Of the Southern
landlords and capitalists, those papers
which are daily melting the white
masses against the Negroes.
There is reason for these mushy
outbursts on the part Of these papers"
Foster emphaticaly declared. 1.-THE
reason is that in the first place
Norman Thomas carefully avoided all
reference to equality for the Negro
people and conducted his meetings in
Southern style
Secondly" said Foster, Thomas
is being used by the capitalist rulers
Of the country to sidetrack the dis
content Of the masses. Or. as the
GreenSbor Daily News put it, Thomas
is 'isolating large body of protest.
Isolating it from what?" asked Foster.
From revolutionary struggle, Of
course" he answered.
Thomas Used To Soften Discomfort
of Masses
"They realize that in this election
hundreds of thousands Of workers
have broken definitely and completely
with the Republican and Democratic
parties. They are afraid that these
workers will seek a really revolu-
tionary way out Of the present crisis
under the leadership of the Com
nunist Party. For that reason Nor
man Thomas with his pacifist phrase
mongering against all revolutionary
struggle is being put forward as the
real exponent Of radicahsm in an eff
fort to absorb and soften the dis
content Of the masses.
by Thomas's complete failure to
raise the Negro question in the South
and by his failure to demand cate
gorically there fight for equality for
the Negro people, he only aided the
Southern bosses in their efforts to
divide the Negro and white toilers to
play one group against the other and
in that way Systematically worsen the
rconditiOns of both.
"In Thomas's speech before Lincoln
University he said: Elm particular the
Socialist Party offers to the Negro
drastic anti-lynching legislation and
the enactment and enforcement of
constitutional guarantees Of economic,
political and legal equality for the
Negro. More the thoughtful Negro
should not and will not ask"
This is an outright lie. No thought
