UNITED FRONT
B'kLYN MARCH
BACKS BAKERS

NEW YORK. - About 300 workers
demonstrated in Brownsville on Sat-
turday in support of the bakers
strike. The workers marched to the
music of the bakers union band and
the Red Front Band.
The demonstration consisted of two
parts, the first made up of the Bakers
Union Local 300, Socialist Party, Y.
P. S, L., Socialist Consumers League,
lWorkmen's Circle Schools and the
Red Falcons, the Socialist children
organizations, and the Workers IN
employed League. The second part
led by the Red Front consisted of the
Communist Party, Young Communist
League Women Councils, Interna-
tional Labor Defense, Young Pioneers,
International Workers Order and the
Unemployed Council. Despite the
hundred police there for protection
the march was conducted with real
proletarian discipline.

Mass Meet in Boston
Back Fight for Crawford; LID. Calls Upon
Districts to Demand Negroes Release

mass campaign to prevent the extra
dition to Virginia Of George Craw-
ford, Negro worker, in directives just
sent out by the national Office of the
LID.
The LID. calls for the immediate
release Of this worker and brands the
murder charge against him as a
frame-up.
In its directives to the district or
gailizations, the LID. says:
Federal Judge Lowell Of Mas
sachussets District has issued
decision overruling the extradi-
ton to Virginia of George Craw-
ford, a Negro worker, on the
ground that Negroes are barred
there from serving on juries.
This decision was forced upon this
Judge by the tremendous move
ment for full equal rights for Ne
groes, set into motion by the ].
L. d. thru Scottsboro and other
campaigns.
"The Crawford case is being
handled by the N.A.A.C.P. leaders
purely along legal lines in accord
ance with their treacherous policy
against mass defense.
"The LID. is now undertaking
mass protests to prevent Craw-
ford's extradition and legal lynch
ing. All Districts and branches
should therefore send resolutions
to Governor Joseph h. Ely, state
House, Boston, Massachusetts,,
protesting against Crawfords ex-
tradition and demanding his re-
lease.*

Roosevelt and Railroad
Brotherhood Chiefs in
Scheme to Lay off Men

cut, according to the railroad labor
chiefs.
The next concession" hailed by
the labor chiefs is that the coordina-
tor is authorized to establish regional
boards, to settle controversies which
may develop between the roads and
5he men. This" says Labor, is an
important gain, as the railroads,
despite the provisions of the Railway
Labor Act, have been denying regi-
onal adjustment boards to the big
majority of the railroad labor organi-
cations" Does railroad labor expect
to get more consideration under
Eastman as railroad car, than it did
under Eastman as Interstate Com
merce Commissioner? Does railroad
labor expect to get equal considera-
ton with railroad owners from poll
teal appointees admittedly bribed by
j. P. Morgan with inside prices on
railroad stocks?
Whitney Hasn't Heard of Wage
Cuts" But the Workers Have
The executives of the railroads
have announced that they will meet
in Chicago June LIST to decide on
their wage cutting proposals for the
June 18th negotiations" I'VE will
tie up this entire country before we
will accept one penny cut in wages"
was what Whitney of the Trainmen
said in reply. He added that he had
MT heard Of the proposed cut. At the
same time spokesman for the car
riers said that the roads would in
sist to the last ditch" on a cut in
union pay. He added that non-union
employees had taken cuts far in ex-
cess of the 10 per cent accepted by
the unions
Railroad workers can better afford
to believe the spokesman for the
roads than their own officials For
by agreeing to the 10 per cent extern
sion until next November LIST, rail-
road workers are taking at this
minute additional cuts, to the extent
that initiation is boosting the cost of
living. Unless the basic rate of pay
is restored in the June negotiations,
the roads will be putting over a cut
far in excess Of the 10 per cent agreed
to. Unless the unions prepare for
fight to restore this basic rate of pay;
to insist on the six hour day without
reduction in weekly or monthly earn
ings, the railroad workers will find
that Whitney has tied them up in
stead of tying up the entire country
which he only does with words.

Activity of Polish Double domingo
a threatened wsge-cut. After the
strike, the fascists intensified their
attempts at terrorization. Now an
other sweeping cut of 20 per cent has
been announced and the Social
Democrat leaders Of the union have
accepted it. BY the time you re-
ceive this information, we will in all
probability be on strike again.
Ship crews are notified of so per
cent cut in pay. In addition to the
direct cut, overtime pay has been
stopped, even though we work as
high as 16 hours a day.
Relief has been stopped. Unem-
ployed were getting 10 zloty week
$3.50. Now they get three zloty a
day but must break rocks under
army officers. This is a conscious
drive to militarize the marine work
ers. Despite denials, we have seen
secret military maneuvres taking
place in the Polish corridor.
The Communist Party called for
united front activities against fas-
cism but the Socialist leaders re-
fused. Nevertheless we are carrying
on strong activities. We have had
demonstrations in which Social
Democrat workers participated in
large numbers Red flags are at
tached to lines with hooks and
thrown over the power transmission
lines. 1t takes long time for the
police to tear them down!

In spite of glowing headlines hail
ing the proposed amendments to the
rail coordinator bill as victories
which will safeguard railroad labor,
an examination of these amend
ments proves them to be nothing
more than an extension of the
present policies of the roads,
which can and will be carried out
with or without the rail coordinator.
Labor, official weekly of the railroad
unions, considers the amendment
which allows the roads to lay off S
per cent Of the working forces every
year, perfectly satisfactory. Let us
examine this provision a little more
carefully.
According to railroad experts, the
main economies" looked for under
the rail bill would be reductions in
payrolls. 1t is true that the bill gives
the coordinator no power to cut
wages, but the roads are quite free to
do this through the arbitration ma
chinery Of the Railway Labor Act
and have cut wages directly through
so-called collective bargaining, and
indirectly by as much as so per cent
through short time, Redistribution,
abolishing jobs and every other pos
sible device. Reduction in payrolls
however can be made most sharply
by cutting the payroll altogether, that
is reducing forces.
The roads have also done this,
without the coordinator, to the point
where on February Is, there were
hardly more than 100000 men on
the payrolls. The exact number of
men the roads hope to get rid of
through the good offices Of the rail
czar, can of course only be estimated.
Some say 100000 men. Some say
100000. How many years it will take
to reduce forces to this extent is not
mentioned. The amendment, accept
able to the Railroad Labor Chiefs,
gives the roads the right to reduce
forces by S per cent every year, below
the bed rock employment figure for
May 1888, which is to be taken as a
basis for future calculations. The
roads therefore can continue to re-
duce their forces by $4,000 men a
year and in five years they will have
another quarter of a million more
men off the payrolIs. This will give
them million less men than in 1929.
Stagger Plan Will Become the
Rule
But will the roads be satisfied with
this? They will not! Consultations
and similar moves are going to abol-
ish more than per cent of railroad
jobs in year. Claude R. Porter, I.
@. G. Commissioner for the Western
Roads proposes and outlines plan
for abandoning 80 per cent of the
present railroad mileage. There is no
question whatever that these econ
omies" mean less jobs, what will be
the counter-proposal to lay-offs. 1t
mill be as it already has been in MANY
places, the wide spread adoption of
the stagger system. The workers most
affected will be the train crews as
most of the shop forces and the
maintenance men are already stag
gered to the bone. In other words
the safeguards won for railroad en-
ployment will be won at the expense
of those still on the payrolls as of
May 1888. And reduction in hours of
labor, at reduced pay, is not a wage

NEW YORK.-A mother and two
children who had been sleeping in the
subway after being evicted were pro-
missed rent and another family were
promised vouchers for gas and electri-
city following the militant action of
the Unemployed at the Washington
Heights Home Relief Bureau, 140
w. 102 Street last week. The action
was led by the Washington Heights
Unemployed Council who after spe-
cial membership meeting, marched to
the bureau, with placards displaying
their demands and through their mil
1tancy forced the bureau guards to
let them enter the bureau with their
placards.
More Join
Other workers applying for relief
when they arrived joined in demand
ing immediate payment of rents, food,
gas and electric vouchers, no discrim-
nation against Negro or foreign born
workers and single workers.
A resolution with these demands
were presented to Mr.. Cortney, super
visor who was forced to listen to the
spokesman Of committee of six
workers. More than 80 grievances was
presented and when the supervisor
said he wanted to see how many
really were in need, twenty worker
waved dispossess notices.

which put squarely before the Roose-

Scottsboro boys-an integral part of
the struggle for Negro rights.
A Square Deal"
Recently" De Priest said in open
ing his speech, there has been some
discussion on the floor of this Con-
gress about Negroes getting square
deal over this country" He timor-
ously told his colleagues about the
Scottsboro case, about Judge Lowelrs
decision which halted the extra
iition of Georgia Crawford, a young
Negro, to Virginia to face trial on a
frame-up murder charge.
TIE PRIEST, it is evident, is not
" seeking square deal" for the
Negro. Of this there can be no
doubt. This is not his role in the
Wall Street Congress. The best evil
dence of it is his shameless knee
bending subserviency to Hamilton
Fish, notorious enemy of both black
and white workers and sponsor of
anti-labor laws. The jim Grower,
Fish, was incidentally a captain in
the 18th New York Negro Regiment
during the war, and at Herpoint,
France, aided in plan which finally
ousted Negro officers from that re-
giment.
Seeks Fish's Aid
De Priest had expressly asked Fish
to take the floor to supplement his
own speech. and Fish emerged with
his regulation bombast against the
Reds" and repeated his proposals
for gagging, failing and deporting
militant leaders of the workers-and
for destroying working class organi-
cations.

CONVICT THOMAS
in PITTSBURGH
Citizenship CaseAimed
at Organization

PITTSBURGH, May 2s.-With po-
lice and detectives present in great
force, in an atmosphere more like
that of an armed camp than of a
court room, B. @. (Jack) Thomas, I'M
employed worker, was found guilty on
three counts by federal jury.
Thomas, who was originally arrest
ed after he had moved his furniture
into a vacant apartment, was held
for Justification" when his activi-
ties in the working class movement
wero discovered by the police.
mas now faces a fifteen-year
Jail sentence, revocation of his citi-
zenship papers, and deportation to
Great Britain.
A motion for new trial made by
Irving Schwab and Jacob Seligsohn,
International Labor Defense attor-
neys in charge Of Thomass defense,
was postponed by Judge Gibson who
did not set any date for new hear
ing.
Because Of the mass pressure this
case has aroused here, Thomas is out
now on bail reduced to $4,000.
The verdict is based on the charge
that Thomas, because Of his former
membership in the Young Workers
League (now the Young Communist
League), is mot attached to the prin-
ciples of the U. S. Constitution" and
therefore swore falsely when he took
out his citizenship papers. Chief wit
ness for the government is Emory J..
Lennon, former Department of Jus
tice investigator.
The conviction OF Thomas and the
attempt to illegalize the Y.C.L. is part
of a campaign to smash organization
in the Pittsburgh district, center of
heavy industry
