EASTON, Pa-The rank and fIia
silk strikers here have voted to estab-
lish solid united front Of all strikers
regardless of union affiliation, brush
ing aside the objections Of the United
Textile Union Organizer Thompson.
The united front was proposed by
the members Of the National Strike
Committee which met In Allentown,
and the National Textile WoekeH
Union, and at a mass meeting OF the
strikers, Wednesday, the strikers un-
animously voted for the proposed

1t is especially a weapon widely used

rights.

method of arbitration under which
the right of workers to strike is ham

coal code contains such a provision
under which workers would be bound
by decision of an administration

six months. This plainly contradicts
the wording OF Section 7 (a) and
constitutes a denial of the right to

workers in given industry to join
unions in that industry without dis
elimination because of race or politi-
cal belief. That recognition should
be enforced by a provision that pref
erence will be given under the codes
to labor organizations which do not
exclude or discriminate against work.
erS on account of race, religious OF
political beliefs; and that no eXclu-
sive representation of labor shall be
given any union which openly in its
constitution and bylaws or by sub
terfuge discriminates against workers
for such reasons. This is common
practice as it affects Negroes. 1t re-
suits either in keeping them outside
of unions and depriving them of the
benefits of organization entirely, as
in some Railway Brotherhood Unions
and number of A. F. of L. Unions,
or places them in an intolerably in
ferior position in the union and in
the industry.
We urge upon you these points of
general labor policy in the belief
that the needs of organized labor
and of the working class generally
throughout the country demand that
an end be put at once to the growing
number of ever more vicious attacks
on organizers, workers, and their or
CARNATIONS, which force the conclu-
sion that this must be the employers
conception of the way to bring order
into industrial relations.

latest action for the starving job
less.
For on closer examination, it ap-
pears that Roosevelt's primary in
terest in authorizing $75,0OO,0o0 is to
prevent the accumulation of sur
pluses" of cotton and wheat, and to
effectively pave the way for further
curtailing their production.
The $75O00,0O0 authorization Of
Roosevelt is merely an extension OF
the $35o,0Oo,0oo government program
of cotton and wheat buying for the
purpose of protecting the profits of
the rich planters, while costs of grain
and cotton for the consumer are sent
leaping skyward.
1t is therefore, obvious the Roose-
welt Government has decided to cloak
the price-raising, crop-destroying &C
tivities of its Agricultural Admins
tration by Disgusting them as ire
lief" program.
AS relief, the Roosevelt program is
miserably inadequate. AS Govern
ment subsidy to the cotton planters
and wheat spectators, it means more
fat profits.
The Roosevelt government has al
ready spent 100000 on wheat which
it Is dumping" in foreign markets
at panic prices in order to keep bread
prices in this country moving upward.
The Roosevelt Government has al
ready spent $5,000,000 Of $3.50, 000, 900
hog buying program, the major por-
ton of which has been used to pur-
chase young pigs for drowning in
order to raise meat prices. Thousands
of hogs purchased by the government
to get rid of surplus" are now rot
ting in the railroad yards of Chicago.
Must Fight for Reliem
That is the Roosevelt record on
relief payments for the starving work
ers and their families.
The expenditure of these enormous
sums for war preparations reveals
how false, how rotten are the excuses
of Roosevelt that relief cannot be
granted because of a lack of funds.
The billion spent for war building
can be WreSted from Cne war ana
Navy departments by the mass strug-
gle of the workers.
These millions must be demanded
by the working class for the imme-
date creation of fund for Unem-
ployment Insurance, a fund to be ad-
ninistered by the workers themselves.
The Government is rich. Its mil
liens can be forced out of the hands
of the bankers, Generals, and Admir-
ais into the hands of the millions of
jobless workers and their families.
Otherwise Roosevelt will go on
pouring vast fortunes into the war
machine, while men women and ohii-
dren face another winter of bitter
suffering and hunger.

He is ready to grant the Navy an
other $153,000,000 from the Public

Government Makes Relief Gesture.
Yesterday, sitting in the White
House, President Roosevelt had to
listen to the blistering accusations Of
United Front delegation which in
cluded Bill Dunno Of the Commun-
list Party and the Trade Union
Unity League about the swift and
unceasing advance of starvation in
this country under the MIRA.
Today, Roosevelt made a feeble
gesture toward providing relief for
the millions of workers and their
families who face hunger and suffer-
ing this winter more stark than at
any time since the economic crisis
struck the capitalist countries of the
world like hurricane.
Roosevelt today authorized the Ag-
ricultural Administration to spend
up to $75,00o,000 for cotton and hogs
to provide clothes and meat for job
less workers.
Workers Demand Surplus.
Ever since the crisis began thou
sands of jobleSs workers organized in
Unemployed Councils have been
fighting for the government to turn
over to the hungry workers the sur
pluses" of farm products lying in the
granaries of the spectators.
The Roosevelt gesture for relief
yesterday is calculated to appear as
if the Government is embarking on
such a program. Actually, it is not.
For it is far from certain that all
of the $75,000,000 will be appropri-
ated for this purpose.
The figure given by Roosevelt is
merely the top figure, the limit be-
yond which the relief purchases can
not go.
But, even the highly dubious gov
eminent estimates of the Labor De-
partment about the return of two
million men to work leaves 15,000,0 900
jobless. And so the generous Roose-
vet bounty will grant IS to every
worker and his family to provide
food and shelter for the Winter.
It is not the starving workers who
will croft much from Roosevelt
bounty.
Rich Planters Benefit
