NEEDLE WORKERS
DEMANDS DENIED

NEW YORK.-,A delegation of sc
workers, chosen by the Needle Trades
Workers Unemployed Council, came
yesterday at 2:3O to the office OF
Welfare Commissioner Taylor and
laid before Mr.. Kelly, one of Tay-
lor's assistants, the following de-
mands of the unemployed needle
trades workers:
l. Relief to be granted by the
Home Relief Bureaus through the
Needle Trades Unemployed Council.
2. Relief within three days of filing
application. One dollar a day for
single and young workers. 4. No
discrimination against Negro work
ers. s. A building in the garment
center equipped to house unemployed
needle trades workers. 6. A kitchen
in this building with coffee and
sandwiches.
Every one of these demands was
denied by Kelly, on behalf of Tay-
lor. Questioned as to what the single
and young workers we're to do if they
were denied all food and shelter by
the Home Relief Bureaus, Kelly an
swered that they should go down to
the municipal lodging house at South
Ferry and register there What this
advice is worth is shown by the fact
that the day before a WORKER had
died at that lodging house of cold
and starvation.
The answer of the unemployed
needle trades workers to this brutal
denial of their demands will be big
demonstration, which is being
planned for some $ime next week.

Unity Committee, with representa-
ton from both unions and from

points to the rapid decline of condi-
tons in the dress trade. to the sab
otage of the strike decision made by
the members of the International
and the fake strike maneuvers car
ried on by the international with
some of the racketeers. The call
concludes by pointing out to the
dressmakers that there is only one
way defeat all these schemes. and
the wholesale wage-cuts, and that is
through one united strike of all
workers. regardless of their union af-
filiations.

Carpenters Strike at
Greenbaum's Against
Fifth Wage Reduction

NEW YORK-Following the strike
called by the workers of Green
baum's carpenter shop against the
fifth wage cut, the boss, on the sec
ond day of the strike, was forced
by the workers solidarity to ask for
a conference with the workers COM
mittee, on which is a representative
of the Independent Carpenters IN
ion The boss wanted to hold the
conference with no union represent
alive present, but the workers re-
fused, and the boss had to concede
this point
In order to carry on the strike, the
Greenbaum workers approached the
Socialist club for the use of its rooms
at 25th St. and 3rd Ave, but they
were refused by the people there,
who said this was a MensheYik Or
ganization and had nothing to do
with workers, and that the workers
organization was located at 103 Lex
ington Ave, where headquarters were
later established for the Greenbaum
strike.

CITY WORKERS
WAGES SLASHED
Cut 6 to 40 Per Cent
to Pay the Bankers
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE


Of the employed and unemployed
workers of New York with demands
that city workers wages and relief
appropriations be not cut, but that
instead, the $2OO,OOO,OOo set aside in
the budget for the interest on city
loans, funds to be paid the bankers
should be cut instead
The city treasury was not really
bankrupt if payment on this, the
biggest item, we're postponed, Tam
many, however, right hand of the
bankers, ignored this
Cut Subway Wages
Besides this, the wages of the IR.
T. subway employees have been slash
ed 10 to 30 per cent by the receiv-
ers appointed by the courts-that is,
by the city and county government,
admittedly so that the bankers could
get their interest on subway bonds.
And now a movement is on foot to
increase the fares.
Time To Fight.
The city employees, practically un-
organized, have made no effective
resistance, with the exception of the
movement now going on among the
hospital workers.
The board of estimates is now
able, with the new laws just passed,
to cut and cut again. To prevent
future cuts, to stop discrimination, to
win back the wages lost on the first
cut, Anti-Wage Cut Committees
should be formed by the workers in
each department and city institu-
tons. Build your committees, and
federate them through a city con-
ference!
Demand the abolition of the wage
cut! Not a cent increase in city
carfares! Let the bankers wait;
they can stand it better than city
worker!

DEMAND END TO
HAITI TERROR
Workers Jailed by US.
Face Death

United States imperialism aided
by the corrupt puppet Vicente gov
| eminent, has launched a savage at
tack on the militant italian workers,
in an attempt to crush their newly
formed class trade union organiza-
ton, the "Ligue DIES Ouvriers en- Gen
eral d'Haiti" General Haiti Work
ers' League). The attack has the
further aim Of preventing the revo-
lutionary proletariat from taking
. away from the national reformist
politician misleaders and betrayers
the leadership of the rising wave Of
struggle of the workers and peasants
against Yankee Marine Corps lynch
law rule in Haiti, against the new
slave treaty and for full national
independence.
Raid Headed BY Yankee Officers.
On the night of Dec. %, Yankee
officers, leading gendarmesa Of the
Garde Haitien, raided the houses of
number of Haitian working class
leaders. Those jailed in the course
Of the raids include Benjamin Pc
guero La Paix, Negro carpenter, mill
tant leader of the Haitian workers
since his expulsion two years ago
from Santo Domingo for his bitter
struggle against the yellow A. F., of
L. controlled officialdom of the Do
minican Confederation of Labor; his
wife, worker in a clothing factory,
also militant participant in work
ing-clasS struggles, and Luz, their
little two-year-old daughter; Renee
Coen, Negro carpenter, head of the
"Ligue DIES Ouvriers en- General
dHaiti," and his wife; Morales, white
Dominican printer, also expelled for
revolutionary activity after his health
had been broken by torture in
Dominican jails, and another young
Negro girl, also worker.
Certain death at the hands of the
Yankee controlled Dominican hang
men awaits the Santo Domingo
workers, if the Haitian government
succeeds in its plan of deporting them
from Haiti.
The immediate cause for the at
tempt to suppress the "Ligue DIES
Ouvriers en- General d'Haiti" is OBJ
viously the fact that the "Ligue" had
begun the first steps towards the or
ganization of the terribly exploited
thousands of workers on the
"HASCO,' (Haitian American Sugar
Company plantations near Port Au
Prince. The workers, many of them
landless peasants driven from their
farms by the Yankee land robbers,
are forced to work u hours and more
for Is cents a day.
The Haitian workers have sent out
a cry for help to their working class |
brothers in the United States. The
U. S. workers must come forward in |
a powerful protest against this latest |
outrage of the bloody Hoover lynch |
Demand the immedi- !
ate freedom of the workers arrested. |
full freedom Of organization, speech |
and assembly; the immediate re-
moval of Yankee marines, and i'm
and complete national in

SIGN FOR AID
Downtown Council
Adopts Plan

NEW YORK.-The Downtown IN
employed Council on Wednesday
night adopted a proposal to issue
thousands of leaflets calling upon all
unemployed workers to register i'm
mediately with the Home Relief Blu
reau, if they have not done so al
ready.
If forbidden to register, they are
urged to come Immediately to the
Unemployed Council, Sc Ave. B.
Here steps will be taken to force the
bureau to register all workers, mar
RED or single, men and women,
Workers are called upon to report
to the Council if they do not get
relief within three days after regis
tration.
Elect Executive.
At its meeting Wednesday night,
the Downtown Council also elected
an executive committee of is, includ-
ing Friedan as secretary Of the
Council and Klein as organizer.
More than 100 delegates from Vari-
Gus organizations attended.
Israel Anter, National Secretary
of the Unemployed Councils, U. S. A,
pointed out the necessity for the
unemployed councils to intensity
local struggles as a step toward win
ming unemployment insurance, paid
by the employers and government.
These struggles must be broadened
so as to involve larger masses OF
workers, he said.
Plan of Work.
All workers are urged to hang
signs outside of their councils and
outside of their home, calling for all
to register at the relief bureau.
On the question of evictions, it was
decided to organize special commit
tees to be on hand in eviction courts
to obtain the names of workers who
have gotten notices. More thorough
organization in the blocks against
evictions; the registration of all
facing eviction. and the spreading Of
rent strikes to force down rents, also
were parts of the plan adopted.
It likewise was decided immedi-
ately to join with single workers in
a fight for relief, which they are now
denied,
It was pointed out that block COM
mittees Of the Downtown Unem-
ployed Council are not functioning
properly. Many committees simply
sent workers to the unemployed
council for relief instead of taking
UP such questions Immediately with
all the workers in their blocks. BY
involving the entire nsighborhood it
is possible to win relief.

Workers School May
Be Filled January 9

ST., has already closed several classes
for the Winter Term due to the early
rush for registration and because the
number of students for each class
is limited The Winter Term will
start with staff of 80 instructors,
which is an increase over the num-
Der of instructors in the last term.
Twelve instructors will teach Prin-
ciples of Communism classes.
The registration will be going on
until the date of the opening of the
new term, but practically all the
classes will probably be filed by jan
uary 9. All who wish to register
should not wait for the last week.

Bishop John A. Gregg Features Earthquake
At HANS Nebr. Conference in Wichita, Kansas
by R. A. Adams

Wichita, Kansas, (LSB)-"A nigh
ty shaking; almost an earthquake"
would not be too strong an expression
to use in describing the elimination
of the work of the Kansas-Nebraska
Annual Conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, which
conference just closed its 57th SEES
sion, at Wichita, Kansas.
Reading the result of the assign
ment of ministers, a sqperstitious
person might see indications Of jug
Cling; one might be inclined to think
there had been a process Of tossing
pennies and saying "heads or %tails;'
another might see in the results some
thing like "grab bag" operation. But
the whole thing is a part of a well de-
signed plan on the part Of Bishop
John A. Gregg to follow the line OF
ministerial itineracy one Of the most
helpful processes Of Methodism.
