/. L. G. w. Officials
Aid. Bathrobe Boss
To Break Strike

NEW YORK.-Called in to break
the strike of the bathrobe workers
led by the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union for the past six
weeks, International Ladies Garment
Workers Union officials furnished
with the addresses of each striker
by the B. Brown Co., wrote inviting
them to their Office and urged them
to return to the shops, Go back
under open shop conditions and come
to lis three months later and we will
organize you," was the advice of the
strikebreaking A. F. of L. officials.
The I. L. G. w. U. officials have
since then obtained settlement with
the B. Brown Co. on the basis of a
81 weekly raise. The strike continues
however, and the strikers are expos
ing the scabbing activity of the I. G.
G. w. U. officials.
An injunction is being sought by
the B. Brown Co. against the In
dustrial Union on the ground that
his business is being ruined by the
strike. That the strike has crippled
the company and can be effective,
was pointed out by the Industrial
Union organizers who are now urg-
ing those misled by the !. L. G. w.
u. to return to the strikers ranks
and continue the fight to gain all
demands.

Edward MacGrady, Assistant Secre-

lea delegation who came to Washing
ton Friday to betray the rank and
file captive" miners, contrasts sharp
ly with the cold shoulder given the
Steel and Metal Workers delegation
who Yainly tried to obtain an inter-
view with the President for the pur-
pose of protesting the horrible muir
der of their fellow workers by the
deputized assassins of the steel czars.
Nearly every Washington cores
pondent believed that the U.M.W.A.
delegation came to washington to
protest against the absolute refusal
of the President, John L. Lewis and
the steel barors, to grant uncondi-
tional recognition Of their union-the
demand made at the White House
only a week before by the very same
delegation.
The obviously prearranged plan
worked quickly and smoothly. After
lengthy conferences with A. Denie
Lewis, brother OF John l.. Lewis and
Washington representative of the
U.M.W.A. machine, at the fashionable
Carlton Hotel, the delegation was
propelled through the farce-after g
whispered conversation betwe e n
Lewis and MacGrady in the doorway
of Johnsons Office.
Thus we were all prepared for the
denouement, Roosevelt's announce
ment, about an hour later that the
representative of the United Mine
Workers discussed the conditions Of
elections under the terms of the
agreement reached with the captive
mine operators" And that upon the
estimate of these representatives that
the men would practically all be at
work by Wednesday and that no
more violence is expected" And so
on-all leading up to elections" with
not one word about union recogni-
ton.
Hynes and Ryan told the truth to
the Daily Worker correspondent
they were not here, they said, to
protest. nor to threaten continued
picketing, should union recognition
be refused; they merely wanted an
explanation" of the Presidents
agreement" They got what they
wanted.

Hynes and the Lewis brood will give

mines, was not brought forward at
this time, as member of the Labor
Advisory Board, to advise. Taylor
doesn't advise, he gives orders.

BarbuSSe Calls for
World WideFiight on
OppreSSOrso fNegrO

NEW YORK. Henri Barbusse
brilliant French writer and anti-war
fighter, achieved his desire on Sat-
urday night to address a meeting in
Harlem.
With Joe Freeman, editor of the
New Masses, translating his speech,
BarbusSe greeted the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights and its
organ, "The Liberator." He expressed
his gratitude for the opportunity to
fraternize with his auditors and
through them with the Negro masses
of the U. S. He brought greetings to
the Negro masses from millions of
workers joined in struggle against
imperialism and war and against the
brutal exploitation of Negroes in this
country and in the colonies.
He praised Mrs. Ada Wright and
told of her visit to France and the
rallying of the French toilers, under
the leadership of the French section
Of the International Labor Defense
and the French Communist Party, to
the defense of the Scottsboro boys.
Barbusse not only condemned
United States imperialism for it's per-
secution of the Negro people, but
scathingly denounced the treatment
Of African natives by French i'm
perialism as no less abominable.
The unity of the toiling masses,
black and white, is the only effective
weapon against the imperialist OPP
pressors, he declared, and told of
the rising revolutionary struggles
throughout the capitalist world. II
not only bring greetings to you" he
said in conclusion, "but an appeal
that you support and defend this vast
mass upsurge against imperialism
and war"
Herman McKawain, OF the Ma
tional Council of the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, was chair
man. Other speakers were DR.. Reu-
ben Young, william L. Patterson,
James w. Ford, Leonard Patterson
and Mary Craig Speed, a Southern
white woman active in the Scots
boro defense.
