Metal Workers
Win 2 Strikes

The strike of the Cromwell and
Colonial workers under the Joint lead
ersl1ip of the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union and the Metal
Spinners' Union ended on Wednes-
day with 100 per cent victory for
the workers. The workers in stub
born and militant struggle lasting five
weeks forced the bosses to take back
all the locked out workers and recog-
nise the shop committee.
This victory of the workers against
the association of the silver and hol-
loware manufacturers, was achieved
through the militancy of the strik-
ers, the support they received from
the union membership and because
of the correct policy that was followed
by the leadership of the union.
The strike was called five weeks
ago by the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union and on the tenth
day of the strike, the workers were
successful in convincing the spinners
to join.
The strike victory will be celebrated
on Saturday. April %, at IS East 18th
Street at p. m.

Now, from here you men will be
taken out and given meal. Get in
line and march in twoS."
This sounded fine. We we're taken
down to the battery and given what
had been called meal. This con-
sisted of baked beans, fried potatoes,
onion, dry bread and coffee that was
too strong and too sweet. We were
told that we didn't have to eat If we
didn't want to. I thought that was
good advice.
Get Aboard Buses.
That over, we were taken outside
and seated in buses. There was no
room for complaint Of any sort here.
The machines were large, the seats
comfortable, and the riding smooth
and fast. We we're on our way to
New Rochelle.
On the trip the first yearnings of
homesicknesses began to find express
sion. The fellows were feeling the
strain of their prospects more than
anything else, since we weren't away
from our folks long enough to feel
anything real in this respect. And
quite naturally, the expression took
OH a yelled form. There wasn't one
there, If my personal opinion is
worth anything, who would have ad-
mitted in so many words that he
wasn't overpleased about being torn
away at the shortest possible notice
from his home ties.
Nothing was said about the mat
ter. But it didn't require too much
sharpness to understand the mean
ing of the sentimental ballads that
were sung. From "It's Only Shanty
in Old Shanty Town, my group went
on to Keep the Homes Fires Burn
ing" and Smile the While I Kiss
You Sad Adieu". The facts were
oninous. These boys had not been
chosen from the quarter Of a million
homeless youths who are reputed to
be wandering over the country and
lettering around the large cities
These were lads who had been taken
away from their own homes and
families, and some later confessed to
never sleeping in any other but their
own beds.
1t was not quite dark when we
marched in twos into the ferry that
took us across to Fort Slocum. It
was not the pleasantest thing in the
world for our feelings at the moment
to watch the sun sinking in the sky
and casting q red CLEAN on the water.
The signs spoke more clearly than
words ever could have.
Called Rockies.
On the way TO the mess hall we
were held UP sor a short time. Some
of those who had arrived before us
gazed down upon us from the top OF

FEW COURSES STILL OPEN AT
WORKERS SCHOOL,

The Workers School, IS East 18th
ST., has started its spring term this
week with more than twelve hundred
students, almost double the number
of students in the spring term Of
last year. This brings the total num-
Der of students Of the Workers
School up to four thousand four hun
dred for the fall, winter and spring
terms of 1928.
The Workers School now has a staff
of forty teachers and the library of
the school has been enlarged. Three
Political Economy courses have been
extended to advanced studies and a
seminar group for special studies and
economic research is being organized.
There are some courses still open for
the spring term. Those desiring to
take advantage of this opportunity
have 8 few days left to do so.

On the surface this seems fine
giving an unemployed man a farm.
But with experienced farmers unable
to make q living Zone committed sui
eide in nearby Virginia April ID it
is obvious that the veterans, most OF
them from the cities, would have
small chance Of doing so.
In addition, there is the problem of
what they would live on until crops
were grown. With the majority Of
the veterans unable to use the land.
even if they trade their bonus Ger
tificates Tor the warrants and want
to use it, it is obvious that this bill
proposes to make the veterans
prey for racketeers and grafters.
If this bill becomes a law, the $50
warrants will be bought up from the
hungry veterans for less than half
their value, and the land will wind
UP in the hands Of large landowners.
A few immense estates will results,
like the one owned by William Ran
dolph Hearst, and the veterans will
be the victims OF wholesale robbery.
An additional danger is that, with
the bonus certificates taken out of
the hands of thousands of needy vet
Grams, the fight for immediate cash
payment Of the bonus will be weak
ened. In fact, the mere offering of
such bill, if the veterans allow
their attention to be caught by it,
is liable to have a dangerous rank
splitting effect. This bill, and all
other bills Of this sort which serve
to distract the attention of the vet
Grams from their fight for immedi-
ate cash payment, must be fought.

$50 at S. p. Meet in
Oakland for Program
of the United Front

The resolution printed below was
passed unanimously at meeting held
in preparation for the Continental
Congress under the auspices of the
Socialist Party at Oakland, Cal. This
resolution as well as the reports
which have come from Socialist
meetings and individual members
shows that among the rank and file
there is movement to break down
the barrier set up by the leadership
with purpose of hindering united
front movement of the working class.
Besides these resolutions and let
tiers, the Daily invites all workers to
send their opinions in the discussion
on this vital question. We shall
print these letters besides articles fur
ther explaining the attitude Of the
Communist Party towards welding a
united movement of the toilers
against the capitalist offensive.
OAKLAND, Cal. - Whereas the
Roosevelt Program of wage cutting,
Initiation, forced labor and war fur
ther reduce the already too low
standard of living of the working
classes; and whereas Immediately
united action must be taken to stop
this increasing misery and starvation
and whereas the Communist Party
has proposed a minimum plan of
action (set forth below which Is the
most elemental and necessary basis
for united struggle; and whereas the
Communist Party and other militant
organizations have declared their
readiness to send delegates to the
Continental Congress on the basis of
these minimum demands, therefore
be 1t resolved:
THAT the workers assembled in
mass meeting on April II, at Tech
nical High School, Oakland, endorse
She following minimum program:
Against Roosevelt's hunger and
war program; against forced labor;
against wage cuts; for increased
wages; for adequate relief; for no
discrimination against Negro and
foreign born; for shorter hours with
out reduction in pay and for relief
for the small farmers.
For federal unemployment insur-
ance; against the proposed nem-
ployment reserves" bills.
For the workers rights, for the
release of Tom Mooney, the Scots
boro boys, and all political prisoners;
against police terror; against depor-
tations and against injunctions in
labor disputes.
Against fascist terror and anti
semitism in Germany, for the release
of Thaelmann and of all imprisoned
anti-Fascist forces; for material sup
port to the revolutionary movement
OF Germany.
For the immediate withdrawal of
the Japanese forces from China; for
the defense of the Chinese people;
for the stopping of munition ship
ments to Japan; against the imper-
ialist war policy of Wall Street, par
ticularly now in the far east and in
Latin America.
For the recognition of the Soviet
Union by the United States; against
inperislist attacks on the Soviet
Union"

EDITORS NOTE: This young
unemployed worker had his taste
Of the forced labor camps. He
writes about the conditions he was
forced to undergo. OF course he
makes no suggestions as to what
must be done. But the experiences
in Fort Siocum prove that the men
in the camp must organize and
fight together inside the camp. In
so far as defeating the programs
Of forced labor this is only pos
sible by an organized mass move

been experienced in struggles by
the unemployed throughout the
