SHIRTS NOT WANTED

Organizations dedicated to shirts of
various types and hues may be fine
things in Italy, Germany, and various
other parts of the world, but the United
States needs none of these. We may need
work shirt, without any specifications
as to color, but nothing more than that.
The statement is prompted by the ex-
pose of the khaki shirts" and their
plans which met with such woeful fail
ure in the east yesterday.
One would be justified in merely ridi-
culing the plans of the khaki shirts,
were it not for the fact that they really
hold much danger in these times when
so many idle and reckless men are ready
to listen to the wild plans of the plotters.
According to reports it was hoped to
seize the power plant in Philadelphia,
wreck it, and under cover of darkness
seize control of the city. Violence was to
run rampant Communists were to be
shot down and recruits drawn for
march upon the national capital.
Would anyone trust the khaki shirts
to distinguish between Communists and
law-abiding citizens? And what author
ity have the khaki shirts" to shoot down
Communists?
1t is we'll that the fantastic plan of
the Khaki shirts" was nipped in the bud.
Inc POSSIBILITIES 1OT uHuSSlldule oioou-
shed in the wake of the activities of such
an organization are terrifying. Nothing
is so cruel, so dangerous as mob, and
that is all the khaki shirts" amount to.
One cannot even credit leaders of such
an organization with being sincere in
their announcements that they only
hope to relieve the condition of the UNI
employed In the final analysis they are
really the worst enemy OF the unem-
ployed.

FOOD STRIKE LED
BY RANK AND FILE
Workers Denounce the
AFL Treachery

NEW YORK.-A new spirit and
determination to win their strikes has
developed among the workers of the
Cooks and Countermans Local 1926
after organizers Of the Food Workers
Industrial Union took the floor al
the locals meeting yesterday and,
after exOosing the sell-out policy of
the A. F. L. officials, pointed out the
way in which the strike the workers
are waging against the Brooklyn
Cafeterias could be won.
The workers strengthened their
rank and file strike committee of 80,
who, under the influence of the A.
F. L. leaders never met regularly, and
elected another committee of seven
to broaden the struggle, draw in mass
organizations of Brownsville, and to
work ii, conjunction with the F. w.
I. U.
The workers voiced their resent
ment Of the A. F. of l.. William Beale
and Pete Martinez, both of the F.. w.
I. u, and Horowitz, section organizer
OF the Communist Party, spoke. They
stressed the necessity of drawing in
all the workers and mass organi-
cations of Brownsville to support the
strike. They showed the attempts of
the A. F. Of L. officials to discourage
the strikers and presented an effec-
tive plan of work.
The committee OF seven are to ar
range a torch parade OF mass or
CARNATIONS and workers, Wednesday,

OF the neighborhood, and TO be Joined

"Workmen's Sick g Death Benefit"
Executive Is Cruel Landlord

NEW YORK. - The Workmen's
Sick and Death Benefit Society is a
German workers mutual aid organ
ization whose purpose it is to pro-
tect its members in case of sickness
or death. Like other fraternal or
ganizations, the WorEmen's Sick and
Death Benefit Society invested part
of its funds for safeguarding in
mortgages.
The present economic crisis brought
it about that on a number of these
houses the owners were not able to
meet their obligations, the mortgage
was forecloSed and the houses turn
ed over to the Workmen's Sick and
Death Benefit Society, and are run
and administered by its National Ex-
ecutive Committee.
Strike At $50 Fox st.
One OF these is the apartment
house at 556 Fox Street. Its tenants
are workers - like the members of
the Workmens Sick and Death Be-
nefit Society. They, too, are suffer-
ing from the crisis and the boss at
tacks on the workers--wage cuts and
unemployment. The NEG of the WIS
and DDS knows what this means
for workers. If they have not ex-
perienced it themselves, they know at
least Of the growing restitution
among the membership of their or
ganizatior, thousands of whom are
unable to pay their dues and have
to appeal for aid to the NEG.
However, when one of the worker
tenants at $50 Fox Street, who has
been unemployed for two years, was
unable to pay his rent, did the NEG
of the WIS and obs approach this
question like workers organization,
did they apply the organizations
watch word; Solidarity? No, in
good old landlord fashion the I'M
employed worker was to be evicted.
Prevented Eviction
But the tenants Of $50 Fox Street
showed more proletarisn solidarity
than the NEG Of the WIS and DDS.
They organized a house committee
and prevented thu eviction with the
assistance Of the block committee.
The agent, Ortland, member of the
NEG, was called to q conference by
the House Committee and presented
with the following demands:
/. Against the eviction Of I'M
employed workers.
2. For reduction of the rent.
5. For acceptance of Home Re-

DEFEAT FERULLA
IN TOY WORKERS
Rank and File Ticket
Wins in Elections

NEW YOEtK.-The Doll and Toy
Workers Union, organized last year in
this city, having cleaned out rack
eteers from within its midst, should
now affiliate with the Trade Union
Unity League, writes a worker cor
respondent and member of the union.
On December 10th, the rank and
file Of the union threw out the rack
eteer officials and elected their own
Executive Committee which set Feb.
2 as the date for new elections when
rank and file administration now
at the head Of the organization, was
elected.
THE Socialist Party, as far as our
union is concerned writes the work
er correspondent, lis divided in two
factions-in one faction are the rack
eteers and in the other are the fax
ers.
THE racketeer faction use Sam
Fsrulla, the ex-president, and the
takers try to make use of few
Of the new executive Of the Doll and
Toy Workers Union.
While Mr. Farulla was president,
he never thought of the A. F. of L.,
though he was in that position for
ten months. But after Dec. 10, when
he was forced to resign, he insists that
the union should affiliate with the
A. F. of l.. now.
For seven weeks after the rank
and file took control of the union,
Farulla and the Socialist Party made
lot OF noise against Communism in
the Doll and Toy Workers Union.
For seven weeks they made propa-
ganda in favor Of the A. F. of L.
Then on Feb, 2, Farulla advertised
i'll all the Italian newspapers, in
Guiding the "Stampa LIBERIA" that a
vote for Farulla means vote for the
A. F. of L.
When the union elections took
place on Feb. 2 the membership re-
jected utilization with the A. p. of L..
by vote Of two to one. Why should
the union officials with the ALL.
when the leaders of that organiza-
ton are themselves connected with
the racketeers?
Il suggest" says this correspond
emf" that we affiliate without DELAY
with the militant Trade Union Unity
League. If we stay independent,
these racketeers will use all their
dirty work to destroy the union.

viouS to their arrival Huston had

however. They refused to leave until
Huston agreed to see one of them.

reiterated his statements claiming he
had no money and no jobs and the
teachers ought to apply to the Home

replied that they wanted work, not
charity, Huston had him thrown out

outside the building. They carried
placards, some of which read GLASSES

They attracted a sympathetic crowd
OF 200 or so workers.

ing rent strikes.
This appeal should meet with
with full response not only from
the other tenants. but particularly
from the whole membership of the
Wofkmen's Sick and Death Bene-
fit Society. The members of the
VS.. and DDS. who themselves
suffer from unemployment and par
tiCipate in the struggles Of the I'M
employed workers for relief and
against evictions, will surely con-
denim the strike breaking activity
Of their NEG. They should bring
this matter up for action at all
their branch meetings.
Does Not Safeguard Members
The MEG of the WIS and DDS can
not defend its action by claiming
that 1t did this to SAFE guard the
interests Of the membership. II they
approached this matter in spirit
Of proletarian solidarity, they could
work out a solution with the house
committee that is satisfactory to the
tenants, without jeopardizing the in
terests Of their organization. But
this MEG Is not even interested in
the welfare of the members of their
organization. as they have repeatedly
shown. Ortland, for instance, when
his son, secretary of one of the
branches of the organization recent
" stole funds, gave them good adj
vice. to fix" the books. His COL
leagues In the MEG Criticized" him
fer this. but kept the matter secret
from the members Of the 'organiza-
ton.
It is not the interests of their
membership that guides this MEG in
their attitude towards the tenants of
$50 Fox Street. but their enmity
against the struggles of the unem-
ployed workers. This Is what causes
their hatred of the Block Commit
tee and its representatives.
Their strike breaking action. their
attack against the workers. must be
met with by the united resistance Of
the tenants and the members of the
organization. 1t is up to the mem
oership Of the WIS and DDS to pro-
perly deal with such enemies of the
working class.

Conference Calls Mass

NEW YORK.--At a conference OF
several neighboring rent strike house

4. For recognition of the house
committee.
However, Ortland, representing the
NEG of the WIS and DDS, refused
to even consider these denlands-he
was going to deal with individual
tenants only--again In good old land
lord fashion. Whereupon the tenants
called a rent strike Ortland began
to terrorize the tenants. He wanted
to kick out the chairman of the
house committee.
Finally the tenants sent delega-
ton, consisting Of two tenants and
a representative of the block COM
mittee, to the National Executive
meeting Of the WIS and DDS. All
this body had for these workers were
insults and threats Of bodily violence.
They didn't like the house commit
tee and they didn't like the Block
Committee particularly the Block
Committee, they wanted no out
siders," no representative of the
Block Committee. The NEG alone is
allowed to bring in outsiders-they
sent a lawyer, Mrs. Rose Weiss to
the tenants who told the tenants to
come to her house. But she doesn't
want any outsiders" either, she pre-
fers to handle the tenants alone,
without the assistance and protection
of their neighbors, organized In the
Block Committee. The tenants did
not fall into this trap. They will
act only through their house COM
mittee and the strike is still going
on.
