JObless POrtl'dW orkers

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 15.-Mass
pressure organized by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, and the expos
ure in the court room of the corrup-
ton and starvation policy of the To-
cal relief bureau, forced the dismiss
sal yesterday by Municipal Judge
Stadter of the case Of IL workers ar
rested Friday at the Lents relief sta
ton.
The arrested workers, Walker
Moore, Barclay, Anderson, Notestein
Edmola ason, MacKrille, Rents, Stein

mittee elected by the rank and file
members of the Unemployed Council
Unemployed Citizens League and Civ
ic Emergency Federation on behalf
of Claude Lawyer, an unemployed
worker, who had been ordered evict-
ed from his home.

Harry Gross forced the re,sase of the
workers on their own recognizance
and the postponement of the trial
until Monday morning.
In addition to forcing the dismis-
sal of the case, the militant action of
the workers has resulted in the NOV
ing of Lawyer and his family by the

Strike Negotiations
in Jewelry at Stand
still; Meet Monday

NEW YORK-The conference be-
tween the Committee of the Interna-
tional Jewelry Workers Union and
the bosses was declared standstill
on Saturday. Peter Garcia, presi-
dent of the local, reported to over
$500 strikers at Webster Hall that
no progress had been made at Fri
days session, but the conference
Monday will resume in the afternoon.
The bosses stubbornly refuse to &C.
cept article of the agreement that
abrogateS the bosses right to fire
any worker after a four weeks trial.
This, P. Garcia is willing to COM
promise, stating that he told the
bosses: I'VE will fight this out on the
street" The strikers applauded Gar
cha for his militant tone, but when
the rank and filters took the floor
they pointed out that no one should
return to work until the bosses con-
cede to this clause of the agreement.
Only l per cent of the entire trade
is working. In order to break the
strike the bosses sent letters to in
dividual workers, offering them jobs
with their wages doubled. The work.
ers turned the letters over to the
union. Progress has been made
among the j. R. Woods men. The
next point of concentration is Tif-
fany's shop. At the same time the
rank and filters urged more mill
tant mass picketing on Monday.

Workers to Pack
Court at Trial Of
|NegroStrikersToday

NEW YORK. Sixteen striking
Negro painters will go on trial this
morning in the Washington Heights
Court, 151st st. near Convent Ave.
The strikers, arrested in an Illegal
police raid on the Harlem headquar-
tiers of the Alteration Painters Local,
are framed on charge of felonious
assault. New York workers are urged
to pack the court in militant soli-
darity with the defendants, to defeat
the attempt of the landlords and
police to break the strike.
The strikers are fighting for the
SO and 7-hour day. Police attacks
on the picket lines are being aided by
the A. F. of L. Brotherhood. zausner
and his hired gangsters have several
times attacked the pickets. The A.
F. of L. Leadership has also sent in
scabs to take the place OF the strik-
ers. Great resentment has been
created among the Negro strikers who
have been replaced by white scabs.
This is in line with the anti-Negro
policies of the A. F. of L. leadership
which faithfully supports the jim
crow policies of the white ruling class.
Condemning this policy, the Altera-
ton Painters Union has called upon
all A. F. Of L. rank and file mem
bers and white workers generally to
express their solidarity with the Ne
gro strikers.

Ford Strikers Act
Over ReilIy'S Head
tCoNTlNUEp FROM PAGE ONE,


Workers Union, explained to the
strikers in the Workers Center meet
ing the program of his union, and the
Rank and File Committee of Action
was organized. The delegation left
Immediately for Chester, to request
the Ford strikers to help them on
Mondays picket line.
The organizers of the A. F. of L. in
Chester, it was later learned, tried to
prevent the rank and file Edgewater
delegation from speaking, but were
forced to give them the floor. The
Chester A. F. of L. organizers were
also forced to agree to a delegation
from Chester to Edgewater, but the
A. F. of l.. organizers limited the del
egation to 20.
The program adopted by the action
committee revolyes around ID mass
picketing, ca spreading the strike by
the preparation of march on De-
troit, 90 setting up Of defense COM
mittee, and inviting the international
Labor Defense to defend all rank and
file strikers arrested.
The attitude of the strikers at their
rank and file meeting in Edgewater
showed deep resentment against the
A. F. of L. betrayal policy. II was 8
coal MINER" one striker said, "and
have been in many strikes, but this Is
not a strike, it is tea party"
A. F. of L. Works With Police
Another worker said: II was arrest
ed for tossing a rock at scab. In
stead of getting me released right
away, the A. F. of L. let me stay in
two days. And here's why. An A. F
of L. committeeman came up to jail
and said to the police, Let him stay
in for awhile. It will help to discour-
age the men from using such tao
tics" Another striker said, "The
MIRA. is a lot of bunk. 1t promises
everything and gives us nothing"
In Bayonne, on Friday night, the
strikers who live in Bayonne on their
own initiative held a large sponta-
neous rank and file nesting and tool;
steps for the getting of scabs out OF
the plant.
The Auto Workers Union, through
its organizers, Reed and Larks, is
sued statement calling on the strik-
ers to take the strike into their own
hands; to reject Reilly's splitting tao
tics, and calling for unity of all strik-
ers, regardless Of what union they
are in or If unorganized.

Observation-Disclosures
Debate With Axtell on
u S. S. r.. Wednesday

NEW YORK.-Challenged by the
Marine Workers Industrial Union,
Silas B. Axtell, notorious "ambu-
lance chaser" and attorney for the
International Seamen's Union CA.
F. of L. will debate with men,
Der of the MWIU on the subject of
the Soviet Union, Wednesday, De-
tober IS, at the MWIU Hall, 14O
Broad Street.
The challenge Was hurled at AK
tell when he spoke against the
Soviet Union in an organizational
meeting Of the Seamen's Union a
week ago, where he said he would
speak in your hall any time" The
members of the Marine Workers
Union present took up the state
ment and wrote Mr.. Axtell a let
ter calling for the meeting. Axtell
accepted, and the meeting is being
arranged.
Axtell was a delegate to the
Soviet Unon in 1927, travelling
there with James Maurer, Robt. W.
Dunn, Albert Coyle, R. G. Tugwell,
who now belong to Roosevelt's
brain trust. He was the only men,
Der of the delegation to make an
adverse report. Several members
of the delegation challenged the
accuracy of Axtell's observations
in the Soviet Union, pointing out
that he spent the time there in
idle sightseeing and airplane joy
riding, while the other investi-
gated the actual situation.
The debate with Axtell will be
used by the MWIU to rouse inter-
est1in the coming delegation of
workers to the Soviet Union, which
will leave here in the next two
weeks.
Axtell, in accepting the challenge
to speak in the MWIU hall empha-
sized his willingness to speak to
American seamen" at any time,
but wanted it understood that he
was speaking as an individual, not
as an official of the International
Seamen's Union.

Taxi Workers
Picket Parmelee
When Company Drops
Flags to Register
AgainstW orkers

NEW YORK.--Fearing growth OF
organization among the hackmen, the
large owners of taxicabs are trying
to intimidate the workers by firing
them and perpetrating other coward
ly acts against them.
Leading in these attacks is the Par
melee Company, which fired five
workers for trade union activity.
The Parmelee Co. attempted to pre-
vent its workers from attending a
mass meeting of the taxi drivers last
week by fixing the meters so they
register while the men were in the
hall. When this was reported to the
hackmen, they became enraged and
took action at once.
A committee of five was elected and
the entire body with their cabs form
ing procession of 40 cars, rode to
the 37th St. garage where they
formed a picket line and presented
their demands that the drop should
not be charged against the workers
and that discrimination should be
eliminated in the garages.
The manager, at first scorning the
demands of the workers, was forced
to yield when he saw the picket line
outside of the garage. The picket line
was repeated at the Christopher ga
rage of the Parmelee and brought
similar results.

Report Rendered on
White ChauvirliSm
Charges at Coop
Cites Many Instances
of Prejudice at the
Bronx Colony

NEW YORK-AS a result OF ar
c 'en Hearing on charges of white
auvinist tendencies among some OF
the white workers in the United
Workers Cooperative, Bronx, the
Investigating Committee has issued
a statement declaring that the
charges had been sustained in sew
eral cases, and calling upon the
white workers of the Colony to
wage a relentless struggle to wipe
out the remnants of white chauvin-
ism in the Colony. The statement
declares, in part:
"The ideas of white superiority are
the ideas Of the enemy of the work.
ing class. They are consciously fos-
tered and spread by the ruling class
in order to demoralize and degener-
ate the class struggle of the prole-
tariat, in order that the bosses may
divide and conquer Ideas of ma
tional or race superiority and preju-
dice are the theoretical justification
Of the ruling class lynchers, which
! are alien to the working class. AS
our great teacher Karl Marx taguht
us:
"'The white workers cannot be
free as long as their brothers in
the black skin are enslaved.'"
The statement points out that at the
hearing itself one of the white resi-
dents Of the Colony maintained that
there is no white chauvinism in our
Colony" but revealed its presence in
its most glazing form by statements
that "the Negroes are lazy" "let the
Negroes free themselves "the Ne
groes are towards" 1t was also
brought out at the hearing that in
the Novy Mir Club such typical anti
working class tendencies had been
expressed as 1--WE can make the rev.
olution without the Negroes, we have
100000 whites in the U. S. A."
When reminded Of Lenin's uncom-
promising position on the national
question, one resident asked who
is Lenin, anyway" In another in
stance, white girl declared: ct was
not brought up to associate with Ne
grces."
The Investigating Committee ruth
iessly urmasks the rotten ruling class
theology behind these statements,
which are due to "deep unclarity,
unoerestimation and confusion on
the Nero Question" 1t points out
as another manifestation of white
chauvinism in the Colony the fact
that among the maintenance men
employed by the Colony, the Negro
workers were in the lowest cate
CORES, they were employed as port
ers, but not as firemen, painters, etc.
The cafeteria Of the cooperative
employs no Negro workers.
The Investigating Committee calls
on all the revolutionary workers in
the Colony to wage a ruthless strug-
gle, in the spirit of the Open Letter
of the Extraordinary Party Confer
ence, against all forms of white
chauvinism and Jim Crow practices.
The Investigating Committee is COM
posed of two representatives from the
District of the Communist Party.
two from the Bronx Section of the
Communist Party, three from the
Young Communist League, and one
from the Communist Fraction of the
Colony. The Committee has issued
leaflet on its findings, and RAMS to
hold a series Of meetings to popu-
larize the fight against white chau-
vinism.

heritance.
He picked himself a wife
there, a healthy girl who wore rib
bons in her braids, and returned with
enough money to start another shop
which flopped. Sam Lung gave him
job on a commission basis and
Antal recouped much of his old cli-
entele. There aren't many Hun
garian BARRIERS and clannish Magyars

Flushing to chew the fat with Antal
and be permitted to look at his scrap
books.
Some of these patrons come to kid
Antal. They know the way he feels
about horses so they bring him clip
pings of SP.C.A. cases, of horses
beaten to death by drunken drivers,
feature stories of grand old trotters
being hitched to garbage wagons.
Antal no longer gets worked UP about
the kidding. He needs the customers
and confines his own comment to
sardonic gruntS. The clippings he
pastes into the yellow covered album
whose frontispiece is covered by the
horse-beating scene from Brothers
Karamazov. He never did read the
rest of the book. The pages we're
brought to him by Gabori from
Astoria.
I SUPPOSE you could lead back
Antaps attitude on horses to the
peculiar fetishisms that peasants
Of the Magyar Alfold entertain
about animals. He claims never to
have paid any attention to them
until the rise of Man O War.
That's when he's supposed to have
started to follow the forms and the
racing sheets. The scrap-books are
later development.

yers was their having sent Judge
Buenger copy Of their letter to DR..
Paul Teirhert, Nazi-appointed coun-
sci for George Dimitroff, Bulgarian
Communist defendant. In this letter
Gallagher, Villars, Detcheff and
Grigoroff confirm Dimitroff's charge
that he had been maltreated by the
Nazi police authorities, adding that
in view Of the treatment he had re-
ceived before the trial opened Dimi-
triff, as a man, could have only
scorn and contempt for the German
authorities handling the case" They
feel, therefore, that Dimitroff should
have the right to express his con-
victions in court.
The German Supreme Court ex-
cluded these foreign lawyers because
1t has every reason to fear the pres
ence of independent attorneys at the
trial, who make it difficult to cover
up the traces of Nazi guilt in the
burning Of the Reichstag..
Dimitroff is still excluded from the
court and was not present at today's
proceedings, where he is on trial for
his life, an unheard-of procedure in
capital criminal cases.
