Suddenly the workers in the

could be heard loudly demanding;
We want united front! We want
a united 'front.' In every corner of

manded a united front. Thousands

UNION IN DRIVE
FOR STRIKE FUND
Metal Workers Start
Campaign for $1,000

NEW YORK. - T h e Executive
Board of the Metal Workers Indus
trial Union has decided to launch
a campaign to raise a 1000 Strike
Fund.
There are over 200 1000 metal work
ers in New York Over so per cent
of these are totally unemployed,
others are working part time or still
working between so and 60 hours a
week. The wages of all workers still
employed have been cut number
of times from 80 to 10 per cent.
Under these circumstances, the
metal workers of this district are
ready and anxious to struggle against
these rotten conditions. This was
proven by the rcent strikes that were
led by the Metal Workers Industrial
Union.
In order that the Metal Workers
industrial Union shall be able to
carry out its tasks, it is necessary
that this 81 900 Strike Fund cam
paign be carried to success. This can
be done only If the revolutionary
labor movement will give its mquali-
fled support.
The union calls upon all Syn1pa-
thetic organizations and individuals
to send donations to the Metal
Workers Industrial Union, 799 Bway.

5000 PICKET IN
NY. RENT STRIKE
9 Jailed, But Cops Fail
to Dispense Workers

NEW YORK-Despite police at
tempts to dispense them with clubs
and fists, 5000 workers yesterday
kept up an all-day picket line in
the rent strike at 1888 Charlotte ST.,
the Bronx. The strike, in which the
tenants are 100 per cent solid, is
being led by the Charlotte st. Block
Committee and the Unemployed
Council of 1400 Boston Road.
Yesterday one of the tenants. an
unemployed woman with three chill
dren, was evicted. In a short time
a huge picket line sprang up around
the house and workers began MAX
ing speeches from the fire escapes
and from a platform in the street.
One of the children of the evicted
tenant, a i4-year-old girl, also spoke.
Soon an army OF police descended,
including two riot squads, one radio
squad and two patrol wagons. The
cops attacked the workers and sue
ceeded in breaking through the line
at one point. They arrested nine
OF the pickets, smashed one young
workers head against pole and
beat the evicted tenant so severely
that she tainted.
The workers forced the police to
stop their attacks and then started a
meeting in the street They passed
a resolution demanding the immedi-
ate release of all those arrested and
protesting against the police brutal
ity, The arrested workers were pa
rolled on their own recognizance till
today at 2 pm, when they will come
up for trial in the court at 16lst st.
and Brook Ave.
The Charlotte st. Block Commit
tee and the Unemployed Council call
on all workers to continue the mass
picketing today, starting at 9 am.
The tenants are striking against evic-
lions, for reductions in rent and for
recognition Of their house committee.

Harlem Workers
Have Their Say
ON Ala. Terror
BY DAN DAVIS


NEW YORK.-The capitalist press
here did their utmost to play down
the story Ito say nothing Of giving
the real facts of the vicious cold
blooded murder of the Alabama Ne
gro share troopers by the Southern
brethren Of the Northern bosses.
The way in which small percentage
of Harlem workers, who had read or
heard by word of mouth Of the
bloody lynchings, answered the Daily
Worker, makes it clear that the
struggle will arouse widespread sym
pathy and support throughout the
country.
Speaking to workers yesterday
passing The corner of Lenox Ave.
and 140th ST., the Daily Worker felt
the pulse" of Harlem workers, Negro
and white. Only 80 per cent of the
workers spoken to had heard of the
attack on their fellow workers in
the South.
It was cold and bitter wind was
blowing, yet workers stopped, an
xiously discussed and answered the
questions asked by the Daily Worker
representative. None Of the workers
were connected with any revolution
airy workers organization. Here are
some typical replies,
James Odel, a Negro worker of
Harlem, said in answer to the first
question: Why did the boss press
play down the shooting of the share
troopers?
They boss press want you 10
forget about it. Afraid they'll stir
up the working class of people"
Mr.. Odel was asked if he thought
the mass Scottsboro protest move
ment struck fear into the hearts of
the Southern bosses and he an
swered with an emphatic Yes"
The workers are beginning to
unite. it's what they needed all the
time" he continued. All the poor
people should pull together"
Arthur M, white hospital worker,
combined bitter denunciation of
the recent hospital ruling against
foreign-born workers with: 1.-THE
Whlte snare choppers are realizing 1t
doesn't pay to shoot their fellow
men. They're reversing now and
saying well see if we can't get
something by sticking together"
John Lewis, Negro worker,
summed up the attitude of many
workers when he said:
"Tf they wait on the National
Association for the Advancement
of ColOTed People, it would drop
right there. They (the N.A.ACP.l
are under the official (capitaIist)
class. If the 369th Infantry Negro
officers would do right there would
be less lynchings.'
Every worker voiced sentiments
similar to those quoted above. The
Southern spillers of workers blood
will now have TO answer in more
than words!

CALL STRIKES In
10 DRESS SHOPS
Unity Group Pushes
Fight on Pay Cuts

NEW YORK.-Ten shops have al
ready been declared on strike in the
first three days of this week as a
result of the preparations being car
ried on by the DreSSnnakerS' Unity
Committee of members of the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union and the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union for mass
strikes against wage-cuts. Several
of these shops are related TO one
particular jobber.
In every instance where the work
erS came down on strike they de-
clared their readiness to stay out
until the bosses give them immedi-
ate increases. Arrangements are
also being made for contracting
shops to spread these strikes to the
other shops working for the same
iobber. Some settlements are al
ready being negotiated.
The Dress Department Of the In
dustrial Union has issued call to
the active members to report to the
Organization Department in the
morning so as to assist the striking
shops on the picket line and to help
spread these strikes TO every shop
as soon as they begin working.
Plans are being made to draw the
unemployed workers into this mass
organization committee the aim of
which is to decrease the speed-up
and long hours and provide more
jobs for the unemployed.

JOBS FOR 200
Dubinsky Uses Gibson
to Build Machine

NEW YORK-Two hundred of the
700 workers who have made out ap-
plcations, as result of the strug-
gle conducted by the Needle Trades

Gibson Commission to give Jobs to
workers who are really unemployed,

considerable delay However, addi-
tional workers are being placed on

mittee-Red Cross cloth work, the
Needle Trades Unemployed Council
has placed 100 workers, Of whom
so are members of the International,
whose own union made no effort to
get them work. In that shop only
one worker was sent by the I.L.G.W.
The workers in these factories are
paid IS a day for men and So for
women, five days work a week, while
the workers placed by Petofsky of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers

Trades Unemployed Council is TAX
ing up the fight, also, for an increase
in wages.
Smoke Out Dukinsky
The struggle of the Council has
forced Dubinsky of the IL.G.W. to
make a statement in the press ad-
hitting that he has received applica-
tions for workers, but evading the
question of how he distributed these
applications. He is using the Glib
son Committee to build his own ma
chine.

'KAMERADSCHAFT" OPENS SUN.
AT THE ACME THEATRE

"Kameradschaft" (Comradeship)
G. w. Pabst's highly praised film
epic OF the mines, which opens Sun
day at the Acme Theatre, reYolves
around workers of different nation
alities, sylnbolized by the miner, who
south of the political from Ter speak
one language, and north of tan
other.
The story develops the idea of in
ternational comradship, which. when
the need arises proves stronger than
nations, mightier than individual
nationalities. The plot, based on
the Corriers mine tragedy of 1906,
when 1400 French miners lost their
lives, and the German miners over
the line went to their rescue.
On the FTaneo-German border,
French miners work the coal from
one side and German miners from
the other; an explosion occurs on
the French side and the Germans
have but one thought-to go to the
rescue. But frontier barrier di-
yides them. Ignoring political boun-
dries, the rescue party break though
the post above, while the remainder
tear down the frontier bars below
and succeed in rescuing their COM
rades.
