TO TRY MEMBER
FOR CHAUVINISM
Finnish Federation to
Hold Meet Sunday

NEW YORK -The Finnish FEEDER
alton has called meeting of the en-
tire membership for this Sunday at
pm. at IS w. 10th st., to take up
the case of one Of the members, Mrs
kirkland. who has been denounced
by the educational committee of the
Federation for her action in regard
to Negro workers.
Mrs. Kirkland, who runs room
ing house at Is West 126th ST., tried
to keep two Negro workers from en-
tering the house when they went to
see B. Sklar and his wife-two of her
white roomers. After the Negro
workers left, the landlady told the
roomers that they must move, say
ing:
You cannot stay here If you have
'niggers' coming to see you. I have
nothing against you but wont have
'niggers' in my house"
She refused to take the next weeks
rent and told B. Sklar and his wife
that they would have to move. In
stead of doing that, these workers
decided to make a fight against this
jim-crow practice, and appealed to
working-class organizations, among
them the Finnish Federation, of
which the landlady is a member.
Blames Socialists
The Federation at once called
Mrs. Kirkland before the Educational
Committee where decision was
made to bring the entire matter be-
fore the membership Before the
Committee, the landlady stated that
she took the stand she did because
Church and Socialist tenants Job
jected to Negroes coming into the
house.
The landlady, however, met with a
unanimous vote of condemnation.
AS the Finnish Federation supports
the fight for equal social, economic
and political rights of the Negroes,
and fights against segregation and
all forms of oppression of the Negro
people, it is expected at Sundays
meeting that the entire membership
will take a stand against Mrs, Kirk
land, and her actions, as the worst
and most vicious example of white
chauvinisln.
The Finnish Federation will carry
on a relentless fight against all such
cases, as was done in the Yokinen
case, where a mass trial of August
Yokinen, Finnish worker, took place,
because of his discrimination against
Negro workers.

Strikers at Is w. 80
Force Right to Use
Passenger Elevator


NEW YORK.-By striking, the
workers in Is w. 39th ST., a History
building, have defeated a new rule
that would have forced them to ride
the dirty, freight elevator They will
use the front elevator, as usual, I'M
der the terms of the settlement yes
terday.
Those in the building are millinary
workers. A large crowd of them as
sembled early yesterday morning to
picket the building, as they had done
the day before when they went on
strike. A cop was present to keep
them From blocking the sidewalk"
But before the picketing started,
the building bosses surrendered. The
strikers could use the passenger ele-
vator, they announced. Under the
defeated rule, the passenger elevator
would have been reserved for buyers
only" and similar gentry, including
the bosses.
The blame for the new rule was
placed upon the landlord, after the
victory of the workers. This land
lord had tried to enforce a similar
practice in two other buildings in the
neighborhood, but had been defeated
in all instances.
Some workers pointed out, how
ever, that both the bosses and the
landlord were together responsible,
through mutual agreement. The ru-
NOR of the landlord alone being res
ponsible was spread to counterfeit
resentment against the bosses. after
the victorious strikers returned to
work they said. 1t was explained
that after all the freight elevator"
ruling was for the benefit of the
bosses.

Lenin Calls for
Fight on Hunger;
Memorial Jan. II

NEW YORK. - Written in hours
when decisive struggles were APP
preaching, Lenin's clarion call to &C
ton against the Socialist" betrayer
Kerensky, and Gar Hunger is es-
pecially timely now. For it is also
a clarion call to American workers
to wage a relentless struggle against
hunger here.
Things have come to a state of
mass unemployment" wrote Lenin
in an article, "The Threatening
Catastrophe and How to Fight It."
Think Of 1t: the country is suffer-
ing from a lack of commodities:
the country is perishing from lack
Of products, from lack Of working
hands at time when there is
sufficient quantity of food and raw
materials--and still, in country
like this, at a critical moment like
this, mass unemployment has de-
veIoped!.
"And yet, a very small amount OF
attention and reflection is sufficient
10 convince one that there are
means of fighting the catastrophe
and the famine, that the means of
struggle are perfectly clear and
simple, perfectly realizable, per-
fectly within reach of the peoples
forces, and that those measures are
NOT being undertaken ONLY AND
SOLELY because their realization
would infringe upon the immense
profits of a handful of landowners
and capitalists"
The workers of New York will pay
a fitting tribute to the deathless
leader of the worlds toilers at the
Lenin Memorial Meeting on Satur-
day evening, Jan. 81. For Bronx and
workers the meeting will
be held in the Bronx Coliseum, fifth
st. and West Farms Road; for work.

Fight Lehman Plan
to Make Money for
Boss by Relief Cut
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

them to the state legislature. Some
workers mass organization should
take the initiative in calling such a
conference.
Lehman has tried to forestall such
action, which he fears, by asking the
legislature to disregard proposals of
special groups and not to pass class
legislation" This is the rankest kind
of smoke screen, because the legisla-
ton proposed by Lehman in his mes
sage is class egi5lation-only it is
legislation for the capitalists and
bankers.
Lies About JobIess
Lehman begins" says Hathaway.
with falsehood about the number
of unemployed in this state. He says
it is between I ,250,00 and 100000
while the very same morning papers
that carried the Lehman message,
yesterday morning quote the state
ment of Harry L. HoDkins chairman
of the New York State Emergency
Relief Administration, telling the
Senate Manufacturers Committee
there are 1750,000 unemployed in
New York. Lehman admits that 250,-
600 families are starving except for
public relief, but neglects to men
ton. as Houkins does, that 100000
more need help. Needless to say,
even the highest figures given by
Lehman and Hopkins are too low.
Lehman meets this tremendous
problem of mass starvation with the
fiat statement: 81 am informed that
at least 100000 q month will be
required for the winter months. II
is obvious that the State of New
York will be unable to provide this
amount Of money" Later he says:
The strain on State, local and pri-
vate resources has, however, at last,
reached its limit. We are forced now
to look to Washington for assist
ance'"
Hathaway declared that while
there is no objection to federal re-
lief, in fact we fight for it. we de-
mand in addition state relief also,
both to be administered by elected
committees of employed and unem-
ployed workers. He pointed out that
what Lehman is doing is simply to
wash his hands of the blood guilt of
destroying by starvation whole thou
sands Of unemployed workers and to
simply make the appeal to the fed
eral government his excuse
even clearer is Lehman's program
of saving money for the New York
capitalists at the expense of the
workers, when it comes to schooling"
said the Communist District Organ
izer. Lehman uses many words of
regret about the depriving of chill
dren Of education, but he says, ne
vertfeless: Last year the state was
compelled by the condition of its
treasury to fotego the annual incre-
ment of state aid for education. Sim
liar action must be taken this year.
This in itself means a reduction of
educational aid per pupil 49,. Sub
stantial further reductions III the
present amount of state aid may
mean an actual exclusion of some of
our children from the classes. If I
find it actually unavoidable to re-
commend such cut, shall do So"
"And the fact that this and his
other anti-worker proposals spring
from a desire to save the profits of
the capitalists" continued Hatha-

would expose the frame up. Collins
did not dare pass sentence anywhere
near the maximum OF three years.
He denied the request Of Fanny
Horowitz, International Labor De-
Tense Attorney, for a retrial, brazen-
ly denying statements he made dur
ing the trial prejudicing the jury.
81 would have the editor (of the
Daily Worker arrested for contempt
of court if I didn't want to make a
martyr of him." said the honorable
judge referring to his vicious attacks
against marine workers which the
Daily Worker published. He quoted
freely and indignantly from the Dan
Davis exposure Of the frame-up trial.
The International Labor Defense
