%, demanding increased relief, the
stopping of evictions, providing shoes

The march has been organized by
the Joint Action Committee of the

have supported and endorsed the
Hunger March.
The call for the Hunger March
states that there are 100000 IN

Rank and File Acts
For 10 months Philadelphia has
been under the dictatorship of the
Board Member, Allen, who, by the
way, is the biggest advocater for low
wages. He rules out of order all res
olutionS not suitable to him. He
prohibits all mass meetings, but re-
Gently the local unions of Philadel-
phia District found way to help
themselves. They called special
meeting of one local union and in
vited all other local unions to attend
this meeting. Then motion was
made to admit all the members of
the other local unions present as
fraternal delegates and allow them
to take part in the discussion, and
by doing so we have mass meeting.
Last year Allen taxed all members
who were employed with one dollar
assessment a month, but has been
unable to collect same. Another url-
lawful assessment Of SOC per week
has been imposed on the membership,
and when they refused to pay, Board
member Allen sent letter to all
local unions in which he stated, that
those local unions which fail to col
lect this assessment within 30 days
will be disbanded. The 80 days grace
has elapsed long ago, but these local
unions are still here.
Union colleagues Of the United
Brotherhood: What happens In your
town? What happens in your local
unions? The Hutcheson machine is
an apparatus of oppression over all
proceedings in our own organization
Hundreds OF cases came up in the
various local unions of which the
membership at large is kept in ig-
norance, because the local unions are
without the necessary funds to SUBJ
init these reports to all other local
unions. Being that reports are not
suitable to the main office, they are
not published in our own paper 1.-THE
Carpenter" I, therefore, urge you to
send all reports Of your meetings of
all important proceedings in your
newspaper, the newspaper for every
progressive working man, the Daily
Worker.
Fight with all means at your dis
posal against the Fascist apparatus
Of might, which dominates our
Brotherhood.
Knock down the charges Of the
main office against Local Union No.
1851.
Demand that charges be preferred
against Hutcheson and the entire
National Board, who violate the By
Laws of the United Brotherhood
every day.
Our struggle is your struggle.
Our victory is your victory.

up the present strike situation in
New York City when interviewed yes
terday by the Daily Worker.
Overgaard estimated that about
$1,000 workers had been led in strike
struggles by unions affiliated with
the T. U. U. L. in the past three
months and have won increases in
wages, shorter hours, unemployment
insurance funds, union recognition
and many other immediate demands.

gard, "as in the strikes of the metal
workers, furniture workers and shoe
workers, wage increases of 25 to so
per cent have been won. The T. U.

MILWAUKEE,, Wisc.-MaSs layoffs
here are daily proving to the work
ers the bankruptcy of the N. r. A.
and revealing the betrayal policy of
the Socialist Party, city officials and
A. F. of L. leaders in endorsing it.
On one Saturday this month the
Globe Seamless Tube Co. laid off
200 workers. On the Tuesday fol-
lowing 200 more were laid off. A
good many of these workers spurned
the A. F. of L. union in favor Of the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union.
Miller Furnace Co. laid off $50
men. About an equal number we're
thrown out onto the streets by Cutler
Hammer, Vilter Ice Machine Co.,
Greenbaum Tannery, Sievers Steel
Casting and A. o. Smith.
Rank and file pressure forced the
new A. F. of L. union to take the
A. and P. bakery down on strike
And the members answered the A. F..

coming down to picket so strong the
second day of the strike.
Hundreds have been fired in the

They said they had no power.
Whatever benefits we have gotten
we have won ourselves by our united
struggles with leadership elected by
the rank and file and tested ON the
farm battle front.
Besides the agricultural crises OF
the past thirteen years, we have suf-
fered four years of general capitalist
crisis, which has tremendously sharp
ened and has plunged us into greater
misery. The fight for profits by the
trusts and monopolies has so robbed
the working people that they were
able to buy but a small part of the
products of agriculture and industry.

Relief Graft Is

ATLANTA, Ga.--Wholesale graft in

Relief Station here has. been dis
covered by the workers.
One workers family received $3.50
from the relief visitor for clothes.
This could never adequately provide
for his family who were dressed al
most in rags, but he was told to be
thankful for 1t. When he examined
the account stub of the relief visitors
record, he found she had charged
him with receiving $12 instead of
$3.50.
Further investigation by workers
revealed that one relief visitor had
49 new dresses in her wardrobe. Still
another had rs new dresses. And

Jobless workers here are organizing
to fight not only against these miser-
able conditions, but against the

put them on forced labor.

Over two billion dollars in taxes, in

more and more farmers are forced

Roosevelt, the Democrat, was brought

Roosevelt's democratic government

Agricultural workers are most terribly

ference determined to carry on a
struggle especially in the trade unions
for unemployed insurance.
This first Conference on Unem-
ployment, called by the Unemployed

tended by delegates from six A. r.

ten T. U. U. L. locals and IL fraternal

his report stressed the need of strong

unemployment and social insurance.
He also pointed out to the conference
that Governor Pinchot's Commissary
Plan was abolished due to the strug-
giles Of the unemployed.
The conference adjourned after en-

The mass sentiment throughout the

The strikers are picketing the fac

500 strikers were present, large rank

also a relief committee.
Peter Walsh, the National Leather

Communist Party Supports Strike
Sunday night there was a program
to commemorate the 18th Anniver-
sary of the Russian Revolution, at the
Finnish Hall. There were about 20C
present, including quite a few of the
tannery strikers. The main speaker
of the evening. Comradc Appel of the
Communist Party, warned those
strikers present not to depend on the
NRA. and Anna Weinstock to win
their strike. He pointed out that
Anna Weinstock is a very clever strike
breaker, who has been chased away
from Pawtucket, r. l., and Central
Falls, by the striking workers because
she tried to sell our their strike. He
also pledged the full moral support
Of the Communist Party to the strik-
ers, and pointed out that unity and
militancy Of the workers will win
the demands. The tannery workers
are demanding a 25 per cent increase
in wages and union recognition.
Twenty-Five per cent increase is not

been proven that the statements in
regards to loss of membership as
published in the Daily Worker were
incorrect, untrue and false, because
the members who are more than
four months in arrears in paying
their dues are disqualified and lose
all membership rights. The local
union has gone on record for rank
and file control of the union and for
the Workers Unemployment In

Gently included in the membership
list, all members in arrears and all
passive members, thereby trying to
conceal the enormous loss of mem

With what amount of prejudice
