The police have made no efforts to
arrest him.

this city, aroused by the brutal muir
der of one of their most militant
fighters, are planning a series Of pro-
test demonstrations to demand the
arrest and punishment of the muir
derer and of those who instigated

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Maxim
Lityinoff was invited to the White
House tonight for a second chat
within few hours with President
Roosevelt. The White House an
nounced that another assurance Of
progress, but not final, could be e3-

arose that official recognition of Sow

The Soviet Foreign Commissar was

Americans throughout the noon hour.

eral strike of longshoremen on all

Seven strikers were arrested today
after a battle with scabs, in which
scabS were driven away from the
docks.
The police have been mobilized in
full force to keep the men away from
the docks.
The workers are doing everything
to keep scabs and scab trucks hired in
Chester from unloading.
Officials Of the International Long
shoremen's Association are doing all
they can to break the strike and TO
refuse the election Of rank and file
strike committee, leavi1g all neeotia-
lions in the hands Of Polly Baker,
long known as faker on the water
front.
The l. L. A. officials are trying to

Deputy Administrator
: An MWI.U. delegation of So white
and Negro elected representatives OF
$4,000 seamen, longshoremen, tow
beatmen, bargemen, lightermen and
scowmen, enthusiastically applauded
Hudson's clear-cut criticism of the
proposed code. Hudson attacked the
proposed $40 month minimum" for
able bodied seamen and demanded
a minimum of $62.50.
= Despite the fact that the United
States Government has been able to
SubSidize American ship owners to
the extent of $28,00o,000 a year for
unnecessary ships it has not spent
one cent for unemployment relief for
seamen,' said Hudson. "One Of the
most insidious methods of intinudat-
ing workers is the use of the Moore
Mccormack Line application, asking
care you q member of the U. S. Mer-
chant Marine Naval Reserve, If not,
will you Immediately ENROLL, which
has to be filled out to secure en-
ployment. 1t is part of the prepara-
,tions for q new war, part of the
preparations to make the merchant
marine a naval reserve. We demand
that the code shall state that nom
membership in the United States
Naval Reserve shall not be bar to
a workers employment"
Fight Arbitration
Hudson also objected to an amend
nlent proposed yesterday by one of
the ship owners which would place
arbitration authority in the hands OF
a U. S. district judge, pointing out
that it was federal Judge in New
Orleans who recently granted an in
junction against marine workers

clared.

German workers to be ready to

that the Hitler government can get

COLORED REPRESENTATION

While America is puzzled over her problems, we
find that our race problem is the most outstanding OF
any other group.
America affords many Negroes Of culture, univer-
sity honors and well trained business sense. The Negro
es are suffering from hard times more than any other
group because we are the first let out of employment and
the last rehired. We want a new attitude of expression
from our white brothers. We want colored represent
alton. There must be an understanding and a cultivation
of friendships between the races as we have never had
before.
We are not only pleading for world cooperation,
but community cooperation; to act or work Jointly, to
produce the same effect. We must have that new atti-
tude, an attitude that will impel the business men who
have the administration in hand to cease excluding Ne
groes from public works employment and stop discharg-
ing faithful Negroes of years service and replacing them
with whites.
Groups solidarity is the best means Of cooperation.
Let's get together on colored representation for the serv-
ice represented in this new phase Will be for greater val
ne Ia the community and to the race.
