State Committee
in Seattle Hits
Starvation Relief
County Commissioner
Exposed in Attempt
To Defend Himself

SEATTLE, Wash. - Twenty eight
delegates representing four counties
of Washington answered the roll call
of the meeting of the State Commit
tee of Action. The session was de-
voted mainly to local, state and ma
tional reports, Of which the high
light was the talk by Herbert Ben
janin, National Organizer Of the
Unemployed Councils, with which the
state committee is affiliated.
Benjamin struck the keynote Of
the meeting when he emphasized the
fact that relief determinations were
never attributable to mere oversight
on the part Of officials, but were a
part Of definite scheme to
diminish relief IN this connection,
he hit the plan of self-help and the
commissary system Of unemployed
administration by stating that as
long as relief levels did not rise, it
made small difference whether the
unemployed starved themselves by
official order, or allowed the county
to do it directly.
In addition to Benjamin, George
Bradley, state organizer, reviewed the
background Of immediate state prob
lens. He traced the development Of
unemployed groups in various coun-
tries from tails for political kites to
militant workers organizations.
Before Benjamin spoke at a mass
meeting held prior to the gathering
of the state committee, County Com
missioner Louis Nash was given the
floor to answer the challenge issued
him, to the other commissioners and
to Colonel Hayes, that they were
responsible for the death Of Frederic
HE'S, Seattle Pioneer who dropped
dead in the county social welfare
office.
"I can explain myself. I am ready
to give an accounting. It's the fault
of the other fellows. I didn't know
what was going on" he blubbered, as
workers shouted questions at him in
an unmerciful heckhng. One white
haired old man rose in the center of
the hall. what are you doing to US
in the soup line?' he thundered.
will you support our demands for
cash reLef?" President Dobbins of the
Unemployed Citizens League, who
acted as chairman of the meeting,
rose to put Nash on the suot. mo"
"9ow about forced labor?" II can't
stop it.
Nash was almost howled off the
platform. For once in his career as a
clever demagogue he knew what it
felt like to be exposed in all his rot
teness before hundreds of workers.

Southern Ohio. City
Plans Hunger March
Urge Endorsement of
Jobless Insurance

CINCINNATI, Ohio.-The growing
solidarity among the workers in this
city was clearly demonstrated at the
United Front Conference which took
place Sept. % under the auspices OF
the Unemployed Council.
Delegates from six A. F. of L. To-
Gals took part in the conference,
which was attended by $50. repre-
sen5ing IS organizations.
A resolution was passed calling for
a mass hunger march on the County
Commissioners, to take place, Nov. 3,
in order to present the Workers Re-
lief Ordinance.
The major demands of the ordi-
nance are as follows,
A station to take care of the needs
Of the unemployed, to be established
in every part of the city; abolition
Ct forced labor, cash payment for re-
lief jobs, hot lunches, school sup
plies and clothing should be provided
free for the children Of the lnem-
ployed, and the endorsement by all
local government bodies of the Fed
eral Workers Unemployment msur-
ance Bill.
All workers, employed and unem-
ployed are urged to take Fart in the
mass hunger march. Only militant
mass action will save the unem-
ployed from starvation and the en-
ployed workers from miserable con-
ditions in the shops.

blackiisting the active strikers and
that the check-off of dues is to be

also recognize that the agreement

From Central Pennsylvania comes
the word that the miners who have
returned are enraged against the ag-

continue the strike. The same mes
sage comes from East Ohio and West
Virginia Pan Handle, which has a
worse agreement that the Western
Pennsylvania miners.

Marine Union Acts
To ReStrike MunSOn
Diamond Cement :"
Ship Out To Mid
Stream To Keep Off
Organizers

NEW YORK.-The freighter S. S.
Diamond Cement was threatened
with another strike Friday, october
10, in New York. Two months ago,
the Marine Workers Industrial Union
led a strike of the Diamond Cement
crew which forced wages up SIS a
month, and mustered the police of
three cities to help break the strike.
In spite of police terror and the use
of shanghai methods to get men
aboard the ship, she was struck in
three ports, and the wages rose to
$50 month. October 10, the crew,
under the leadership of the M.WI. u,
was discussing plans for strike to
force the wages up another ten dol
lars, when a stool pigeon warned the
Chief Engineer, who is said to be
part owner of the vessel. The Chief
called the police, who responded with
their usual eagerness 10 break
strike.
Three squad cars and carload OF
detectives rushed to the scene, and
the police threatened to arrest and
beat up the M.WI.U. delegate if he
didn't stop trying to organize the
seamen.
The Chief Engineer fired three of
the seamen, on the stool pigeons
report, and the ship was hauled out
into the stream to be safe from union
organizers.
The attitude of the crew indicates
that there is still a good chance OF
the strike taking place, as soon as
the ship ties up at dock.

strikebreakers, together with straw
bosses and foremen and broke
through the picket lines on Tuesday.
This convoy of some thirty cars, led
by an armored truck, filled with
thugs armed with revolvers, black
jacks and rifles, continues to break
through the lines of the pickets but
has failed to break the fighting spirit
of the strikers.
It was with the aid of the local
A. F. Of L. misleaders that this plan
was put into operation. When the
efforts of the Department of Labor
representative, Mr.. Thomas Hyland
to send the men back to work, resign
from the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union and affiliate with
the A. F. of L. failed, the A. F. OF l..
leaders started openly to break the
strike.
The local A. F.. of L. takers, called
special meetings of the strikers and
promised to get the workers higher
wages and union recognition if they
went back to work and joined the
Blacksmiths Union of the A. F. of L.
They guaranteed the workers "ample
protection" against the strikers if
they would make a "break" Besides
getting about 25 workers to join the
A. F. of L. and return to work, the
company has recruited about the same
number Of professional strikebreakers
and underworld characters released by
the police from the local jails on
condition that they would aid in
breaking this strike.
The capitalist newspapers hailed
this move of the company as con-
clusion of the strike and with lying
statements about hundreds returning
every day" is calling upon the work.
ers to return to their jobs. These
same papers refuse to publish the
statements of the Strike Committee.
They directly support the scab-
herding and Strikebreaking work Of
the company and the city officials.
Friday a meeting of all strikers
was called ct which about 200 strik-
ers from Indiana Harbor, Chicago,
Whiting, Hammond, Gary and <her
towns, answered this latest move Of
1.-THE company by pledge to continue
the strike to victorious conclusion.
All the steel workers of the Calumet
district are rallying now to help raise

of the company and forces the Stand
ard Forging Company to deal with
the committee of the workers. With
the key workers, the hammersmiths,

Bosses Undermine
Leather Strike Gain
By Attack on Union
Peabody Workers Must
Continue Fight To
Bolster Victory

PEABODY, Mass.-Several months
ago the leather workers of Peabody,
Mass, organized into the National
Leather Workers Association, carried
on militant strike and a so-called
successful one.
But what do the workers find out
after the settlement with the manu-
facturers was made and after they
are working in the shop again? Now
when the daily problems come up be-
tween the union and the manufac-
turers, the workers are finding out
what little effect the agreement has
upon the bosses.
In order to break the National
Leather Workers Association, the
bosses are forcing the workers to
join Local 1, United Leather Work
ers Union, the old union which always
worked hand in hand with the man.
ufacturers. Now that the bosses see
that the workers want to be organ
lied in the National Leather Work
ers Union, they are trying to use
another union as weapon against
the workers.
For example: B. E. Cox Co. fin
ishes leather for the Leon Co. Wool
fel, under the name of Woelfel-Cox,
plates the finished article. Neither
the Leon Co. nor the Woelfel Co.
signed the strike agreement and SO
the Leon Co. in the front of the fac
tory employs only strike breakers,
and the same is true with the Woel-
fel-Cox department in the back OF
the factory.
While the strike was going on, the
cellar men walked out and the tack
ers put on aprons and pulled the
wheels. They worked the skins
through every department and joined
in with the newly hired strike
breakers.
Afterwards, these tackers joined
Local l, United Leather Workers
Union and assumed control of that
organization.
Now, with the consent and CO.
operation of the B. E. Cox Co. man
agement, through coercion and in
timidation of the employees who
have remained loyal to the National
Leather Workers Union, these same
tackers are forcing their fellow work
ers to join Local l, United Leather
Workers Union, and to withdraw
from the National Leather Workers
Association by threatening them with
losing their jobs.
Some of the stakers, sprayers and
wet wheelers objected and protested
against this action. These workers
were discharged and refused REIN
statement, the factory management
falling back on the technically in
the agreement which gives them the
right to hire and fire without inter-
ference of the National Leather
Workers Union. This clause forces
the National Leather Workers Union
out of control because without the
right to control the hiring and firing
of union members, the boss gains
the privilege of firing the militant
workers and also firing all union help
and hiring help from the company
union, which in this case happens to
be Local l, United Leather Workers
Union.
When the union gives over these
cases to the State Board of Arbi-
tration, they are dragged out for
months, and we haven't heard yet
of any of the workers being REIN
stated.
With the experience the workers
now have, it is up to them to stand
organized, attend union meetings and
see that the union brings the re-
suits for the benefit Of the rank and
file members.

Everett DOckers Win
Strike To End Bosses
Favoritism in Hiring

EVERETT, Wash A brief but
successful walkout occurred on the
Everett waterfront, Oct. 5. Resent
ment against hiring system Of
favoritism and discrimination, under
which straw bosses would pick the
men that they pleased, eliminated
in 40 men walking out of the Fink
Hall in a body. The trouble started
when one Of the straw bosses came to
the Fink Hall to pick six gangs ga
mem to replace a like number who
had worked 80 hours on one ship
steady, despite the fact that over
IA gangs were lying around idle. The
men not only refused to work the
ship, but walked out of the hall in
a single body.
This same vicious system Of dis
elimination in hiring is going on in
all the ports Of the Northwest. The
1ongshcrenen of Everett have al
ready led the way in fight against
it and a movement is now under
way, initiated by the Marine Work
ers Industrial Union, for rotary
system of hiring, under direct con-
troll of an elected committee Of long
shoremen. The lila. has carried on
an organizational drive in all the
Northwest ports and at the present
time have control Of rs per cent of
the longshoremen. The rank and file
of the lila. must realize that to
fail to organize these men to fight
with them means that they will be
used against them in case Of strikes
and should demand that the LILA
organize them, even at a reduced
rate if necessary.

that it makes much difference.
CHINA being united
I dined the other day in New
York with a gentleman who has
been engaged in business in China
for several years. He gave me a
new picture of the condition OF the
Chinese people.
China today is actually prosper
I GUS. It's industries are booming and,
except in some of the remote dis
tricts, there is something like real
prosperity, judged by Chinese stan
dards.
The most interesting thing my
friends said, however, was that the
Chinese people are more nearly uni
fled today as nation than they
have ever been. The japanese ag-
gression in Manchuria has stimu-
lated Chinese patriotism. My friend
expressed the opinion that China
would make a very effective resis-
tance to Japan: that it might take
years, but eventually China. includ-
ing Manchrlria, will be controlled
by the Chinese.
HOOVER the man
I am very fond Of Mr.. Hoover.
So is everybody who really gets &C
quainted with him. In his private
and personal capacity as man he
is genial, humorous, considerate and
not in the slightest degree high
hat.
I don't know what MIR. Hoover
will do next, but I am satisfied
that it will be something in the ma
! ture of public service. He has no
money ambitions. He made a great
deal of money as mining engineer,
He spent some millions of his per-
sonal fortune in his Belgium relief
work and at that time, 1914, delib-
erately put an end to his business
career and told his friends that he
intended to devote the rest Of his
life to serving his country, which
he did as Food Administrator, Sec
retary Of Commerce. and President.
Mr.. Hoover deals with facts on q
large scale with greater ability than
any man I have ever known. I
think he is permanently out Of
politics, but I believe he will be
great figure In public affairs in
some other way as long as he lives.
