EVICTIONS in N. Y.

Says Carl Winter

NEW Notwithstanding to Mary
L. Gibbons, director of the Home Re-
lief Bureau, dispossess notices in July
will surpass the figures Of June when
10000 such notices were issued and
400 families were actually thrown out
on the streets. The reason given is
that landlords refuse to accept Home
Relief Nnt checks especially from
new tenants.
Unemployed families depending on
relief are refused rent until their
furniture is on the street. Then the
Home Relief Bureau in some occa-
sions grants a check for months
rent in order to move the family.
At the end of the month the family
finds itself once again in the same
predicament. AS result large
number of families are shifted from
house to house as much as half
dozen times during the year. When

to Pennsylvania today and annOu1c-
ed that she will make a personal in
vestigation Of conditions in the steel
industry prior to hearings On the
steel code which are scheduled for
Tuesday, Aug. /. At the same time
the other federal agents have been
sent to the coal fields. The activity
OF the strikebreaking government
agents are directly due to the sweep
ing strike movement in the state and
the developing mood for struggle
among the steel workers. The iron
fist Of the government is stretching
out to crush the strike of thousands
of workers here against company
unions increasing as a result of the
Industrial Recovery Act and against
the starvation codes Of the bosses.
Perkins is expected to open the
hearings on the steel code in Wash

FAILS TO BREAK
BIG MOVIE STRIKE
Several Film Actors
Join 5000 Strikers

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July %. =
Movie producers frantically tele-
phoned President Roosevelt yester-
Gay to send help to break the biggest
strike ever waged in the industry.
A conciliator of the U. S. Labor De-
partment arrived secretly by plane
today in response to the call and held
a conference with the producers and
the strikers. No settlement was
reached when the men stood pat for
their demands.
Film Actors Join Strike
Mae West, the four Marx Brothers,
Eddie Cantor and Wallace Berry
joined the walkout of the 5000 tech
nical laboratory men, camera men,
property, general utility and trans
portation men. The strikers ask for
union shop, IL hours day, a g.
day week and pay for overtime.
Following the conference, Pat
Casey broadcasted the news that the
strike is at an end, but the mems
ranks are unbroken, and the STRIFE
is firm.
Scabs hired by the producers have
messed up the technical apparatus,
which is proving costlier to the COM
panies than they expected. Rumors
are spreading that Wall Street has
stopped credits to the film magnates,
and that the RKO is among the COM
panies facing collapse.
The men are being organized in
separate locals under the Jurisdiction
of the International Association Of

creaSes the menace of an attack
upon the Soviet Union-the fortress
of world socialism. The imperialist
powers are desperately attempting to
postpone their inner conflicts thru
intervention and a war of destruc-
ton against the Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics. While the decay
ing slave system of capitalism is
sinking into ruin and starvation and
toward another explosion of world
war, the Soviet Union, one-sixth of
the earth taken over by the workers
and farmers is successfully building
the new system of socialism, free
from economic crisis, exploitation,
unemployment, hunger and inper-
ialism. Capitalism, rapidly sinking,
sees the magnificent upward growth
of socialism, the industry of which
is advancing at a rate never equal
led in the history of the world. The
dying system of capitalism seeks to
save itself by throwing the world in
to a wild reactionary bloody on
slaught to destroy the government
of the workers and peasants of the
Soviet Union and to divide that
country with the sword between the
greedy imperialists.
Danger of War Against S. U. Grows
Greater.
The entire capitalist world is
eagerly seeking the moment for at
lacking the Soviet Union. The Hug
enberg memorandum presented by
the Hitler government to the World
Economic Conference shows that
German fascism is looking toward the
Soviet Union and is offering to be-
come the advance guard of the i'm
perialist war makers in the war
against the Soviet Union. The Four
Power Pact, initiated by Mussolini
and Macdonald is an instrument
through which England hopes to
bring together the European powers
in war against the Soviet Union
Japanese imperialism, carving out a
new empire for itself in China, is
conducting its war activities around
the Soviet border, utilizing all sorts
Of provocative acts to draw the Sow

States bitterly fighting for it's own
position in China is endeavoring to

The S. U. Fortress Of Peace.
Only the firm peace policy of the
Soviet Union, only the growing
strength of the socialist economy,
only the vigilance of the heroic Red
Army and the masses Of workers
and peasants in the Soviet Union
and throughout the world have so
far stayed the bloody hand of the i'm
perialist powers. The n-aggression
pacts signed between the Soviet
Union and neighboring countries,
the renewal Of trade relations with
England, following the mad rush

NEW YORK.-The National Con-
vention of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union proved that N. Y.
Towboatmen are determined to es-
tablish q United Front Of all marine
workers against wage cuts, long
hours, rotten conditions and for I'M

the fact that the trusted leader" Of
the towboat union refused for the
second time to accept the offer Of
UNITY, rank and file delegates were
present to take up the problems Of
the harbor workers. Seven were pres
ent at the opening of the convention.
The nature of the anti-worliing
class Recovery Slavery Act was ex-
posed at the special harbor workers
conference and the first step against
this act was taken Immediately by
the rank and file delegates by draw
ing up their own code. The conven-
ton agreed that if it is the purpose
of the Recovery" Administration to
raise wages, reduce working hours
and increase employment, then this,
the workers code, is the only one
that will accomplish this purpose.
The code contains the following
demands,
l. No workers employed in the
towboat section of the marine indus
try. shall work more than 20 hours
or more than days a week-no more
than hours in one day.
2. The minimum rate of pay shall
be 500 per month for the unlicensed
section of the crew and a fixed
yearly minimum income of 5000.
No worker shall be given less than
40 weeks employment per year. Where
this is impossible. the government
shall pay unemployment insurance
equal to the difference between this
amount (S900) and his actual yearly
earnings.
The government shall pay unem-
ployment insurance equal to the min
imum amount set as yearly income
in the respective section of employ
ment, when a worker is\ totally I'M
employed.
3. Monthly and yearly minimum
pay for licensed sections of workers
shall be $3.50 minimum per month for
deck mates; s225 per month for en-
gineers; 1895 per month for captains.
A. No overtime shall be permitted

In some of the most rabid open
shop logging camps in Grays Harbor
the workers, resenting the bosses

July 13 the workers of the Saginaw
Camp struck for wage increase;
the M and B camp came out in sup
port of the strike the following day.
Since then Clemens camp No. 3,
Clemens No. 2, the pulpwood cutters,
and the Donovan and Cookery and

in Grays Harbor, Washington.
The strikes were stimulated by the
call for National Lumber Workers

signing up in the Lumber Workers

they can ward off the blows of the
lumber bosses and the Four Ell

Demands are being formulated by
the workers in their own strike COM
mittees and sentiment strongly
favors the National Lumber Work

SO day for a 5-hour day and double
time for overtime is being raised.
Reports from the Northwest indi-
cate that. five logging camps and
five sswmills are tied up completely.
Forty state highway patrolmen have
been sent to the strike region. Sew
eral have already been arrested for
picket duty.
-Four of the IA mills around Kla-
math Falls, Oregon, have been closed
down, the workers demanding wage
incr eases. Five hundred are out at
the Weyerhauser Co., one of the
largest lumber operators in the
country. Four hundred are out in
three other plants. At Burns, Ore
gon, the large Edward Hines plant
was closed down for two days when
the workers struck for more pay.
Pay increases of from A to IL cents

The coming to power of the fas-
cist Hitler government in Germany,
which cannot solve single problem
for the German masses and is there
fore driven to wild military adven-
tlIres-greatly sharpens the internal
tional situation leading to war. The

Quoted bloody reign of terror
against the German working class,

leading towards war.
Already the flames of the oncom-
