League, rank and file united front
conferences, committees of action, en-
tire peoples council, from the Com
nunist Party, the International La
Dor Defense, the United Farmers

tribes. All these convened work
| erS congress last night.
Demands were adopted for emer-
gency cash relief, enactment of un-
employment and social insurance bill,
no evictions, no turning off of water,
lights or gas and turning on of these
where they have been shut off; no
foreclosures, seizures or forced sales

A string protest was sent to the

that action be taken toward grant,
ing the demands of the National
Hunger Marchers Miller, the gov
ernor of the Alabama lynch gang,
was sent a stern demand that terror
against the share croppers cease and
that the Scottsboro boys be immedi-
ately released. Governor Rolfe of
California received attention in the
form of demand, cheered by all
present, for the release of Tom
Mooney. The special demands, such
as bonus payment for the ex-ser-
vicemen, were endorsed and the dele
gates pledged themselves to fight for
| them.
One of the high lights of the
workers congress" was the demand
for the right of 10000 Indians to fish
and hunt as provided for in Gov
ernor Isaac Stephens treaty years
ago.
The governor of the state PROM
ised food and housing for the dele
gates, but the sort of food is revealed
considering the fact that four are in
the hospital from poisoning as re-
suit of decaying food, and more than
a dozen are sick. The housing con-
sisted of sleeping on concrete floor.

Whitney Insults r. r.
Men, Saying They Ask
for the Cut in Wages

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 16.-Rail-
\ road workers were called to meet
ing here recently, addressed by A. F..
Whitney, president of the Train
J men and chief negotiator in Chicago
where he accepted continuation
for nine months of the 10 per cent
wage cut. The audience was ordered
to stand in respect for President
Coolidge, just dead, and at that mo-
ment the B. of L. E. Journal was
in the mails with a story of how
Coolidge headed the National Trans
portation Committee hearings in
New York, which resulted In the
committee starting a campaign to
influence public opinion for reduc-
lion of railroad wages.
Whitney in his speech insulted the
abroad men by a charge that they,
lot he, demanded the wage cut.
This took place while the news
papers carry articles showing how
rail wage cuts were smashed by
strike action and threat Of strike in
Ireland and Mexico.

When the Food Workers Industrial
Union issued leaflet to us exposing
the wage cut and calling upon us to
organize, the authorities became
panic stricken. They issued state
ments to the press and the Spectator,
the student paper, that "no wage cut
was contemplated" They called upon
us not to listen to outsiders. They
said that the Union "does not know
what it is talking about. The Union
is lying!"
Exactly one month later they gave
us Is to 20 percent wage cut. This
happened because we trusted their
fake promises and statements.
Recently the authorities announced
that Furnald Hall was to be closed,
and every worker would be thrown
into the streets. AS result of the
appearance of the first issue of the
Campus Worker" and the immedi-
ate action of the Social Problems
Club, this decision was changed and
Furnald Hall remains open for the
rest of the year. To every worker
and student it remains clear that
even the smallest concessions from
the bosses is achieved only through
organization.

Crowism reigns. A short time ago
a Negro elevator operator was fired

SELL SOVIET II SHIPS

GERMANS SELL SOVIET IL SHIPS
BREMEN, Jan. 12.-During the last
few weeks the North German Lloyd
has sold the Soviet government IL
vessels, totalling $4,000 tons, occa-
sioning much comment in German
shipping quarters.
Twelve ships totalling $4,000 tons
are equal to the entire fleet of a
medium-sized shipping company in
Germany. The whole transaction
shows up the capitalist principle that
the precarious situation of shipping
due to surplus tonnage in the world
crisis can be remedied only by a
methodical dismantling of ships.
According to a stipulation in the
sales contract, the Soviet Union will
employ the vessels exclusively in
Black Sea shipping.
The Soviet Union is the only coun-
try in the world building and buy
ing freight vessels. While the capi-
talist world is scrapping its shipping
by millions of tons, Socialist recon-
struction is going ahead with its ex-
pansion of all productive facilities.
