Virtually the whole population Of
Harrisonburg was either at the station
or lined along the streets through which
the distinguished party passed on its
way to the mountains. The President
was enthusiastically and warmly cheered
as he passed through the town. He
drove III an open car and every one had
an opportunity to get good look at
him as he smiled and raised his hat in
ledgment of the cheering
The first stop of the tour was at the
Grottoes camp which has been in oper-
alton only since July II and which now
has 1870 men enrolled. The next camp
visited was Camp Mira. on Bald Face
Mountain. which has 1876 men enrolled

A lone bugler played Hail. Hail the
Gangs All Here" and then. as two of
his campmates carrying lighted torches
walked toward q covered object labeled

changed to a dirge. The two torch
bearers promptly set fire to the f1imsy

one visited during the tour. 1t was
here that arrangements had been made
for the visiting party to have luncheon.
The President enjoyed his meal. 1t
was not a s,lmptuous affair prepared for
Nations head. but the same meal to
all men in the camp. 1t consisted OF
fried steak. sliced tomatoes mashed pO-
tatoes. apple sauce, bread and butter
and iced tea
Then followed visits to Shenandoah
camp at Skyland. where the President
was serenaded by hill-billy orchestra.
and where he inspected an open-air
chapel hewn from logs. It was during
his stop at Camp Fechner, and while at
the luncheon table that the President
received report from the State Depart
ment regarding the developments in
Cuba. He told newspaper men in his
party that his advices confirmed pub
liShed accounts of the ousting of Presi-

The Presidents face and clothes were
we'll covered with Virginia dust. but he
appeared not the least bit tired after his
long trip. Secretary Ickes accompanied
him into the White House and they
conferred for about half an hour.

He pointed out that Green had con-
ferred with Perkins, supposedly rep
resenting the workers. but that he
cannot claim to represent all the
workers, for he has betrayed them.
Representing scores of thousands OF
workers within the T.UUL. and
many more thousands who support
it, We came here, Ford said, to de-
mand for the workers the right to
the means to live. He showed how
the capitalists, their government and
the AT. of L. officialdom had utilized
the crisis to lower the standards Of
workers in every industry. And he
gave iron-clad facts to prove it.
The T.UUL. document submitted
to Perkins, he said, showed how the
loss in wages was not compensated
for by relief and that only 80 percent
of all those unemployed receive re-
lief. He quoted the relief, given in
the main industrial cities as low as
81 a week for family Of 5. He
showed the consequences-lcwering
the health, the effect on children,
women, etc.
He showed the government pretense
at aiding the unemployed by prov
ing that public work is less for 1888
than in 1892 and lower than in 1925.
Roosevelt Program Cannot Solve
Crisis.
The TU.UL. states that the crisis
and its effects on the toiling masses
cannot be solved by the Roosevelt
program, he stated The workers will
not starye on in silence-they ask for
work and the right to live and the
government must ensure these. The
T.U.U.L. document proposed a way
for doing this.
Jack Stachel, Assistant Secretary
of the T.U.UL., elaborated on some
Of the demands. We come with an
air of demand and perhaps in the
eyes of the secretary don't behave like
gentlemen" ne said, but the workers
are no longer patient. we come in
to daily contact with the lives Of the
workers, and hence we know their

SentatlVeS held IN Perkins or
flee, was as different from the
one she held recently with
Green and other ALL, delegates, as
night is from day. Miss Perkins this
time heard no soothing praise, but
fighting demands for an end to the
Roosevelt starvation program.
Besides representatives of the T. U.
U. L. National Board, there were pres
ent delegates from the revolutionary
unions in the mining, textile, marine,
shoe, needle, Office and food indus
tries. Spokesman for the delegation
was James w. Ford, Negro working
class leader and member of the T.U.
I'LL. board. He presented Miss Perk-
ms with a statement of the T.U.U.L.,
clear-cut and, factual, which showed
in all details the effects of the crisis
and the Roosevelt program, and told
how the T.U,U.L. intends to lead the
fight on these. 1t gave the demands
OF the T.U.U.L. for the workers, en-
ployed and unemployed. The central
demand was the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill.
A little late in appearing (the ap-
pointment was for 10 a. m.) Perkins
suavely told the delegates that she
wished them to speak freely on the
questions that are troubling" her de-
partment. Unemployment relief, pub
lie works, hours Of labor, the mini
mum wage, etc.
Ford Presents T.U.UL. Statement.

makers" The events of the past two
days at this camp have brought out
clearly the fact that these camps are
under the military discipline Of bully
ing army officers.
A Typical Family
The DAILY WORKER reporter
visited the home OF Joseph Ascolse,
Newark youth Who was dismissed
from the camp with forty-four 9TH
ers. He was not at home but his
mother and an aunt gave the follow
ing facts:
The family consists of five chill
dren, father and mother Joseph is
the oldest child and has been out Of
work for over two years. His father
has been unemployed for over six
months. They are five months be-

to sign papers to give the Welfare
Department first claim on any funds
released by the institution.
According to Mrs. Ascolse, Joseph
told her that he and the others had
not refused to work but had demand

larly food.
In camp Joseph had received two
dollars and few cents for his half
months pay and the balance was
supposed to be given TO his mother.

the afternoon. Several thousand are
expected from Baltimore alone.
Meanwhile, caravan of trucks and
automobiles are converging on Wash
ington in preparation for the dem
onstrstion and march here tomorrow,
when a committee will demand the
release of the Scottsboro boys and
seek to present President Roosevelt
and congress with the Bill of Civil
Rights, aimed to compel the en-
forcement of the 18th, 14th and 18th
amendments to the U. S. constitution.
Strong Local Support.
The local support behind the march
is indicated by the fact that between
$500 and 5000 heard Ruby Bates at
an overflow meeting at the Mt
Carmel Baptist Church here today.
So large was the crowd that an over
flow meeting was necessary. Ruby
Bates spoke at both meetings, which
were held under the auspices Of the

mittee.

operation"
After spokesman for the official
S. P. leaders in control Of the con-
vention had urged the adoption of
the machine resolution, it was put to
a vote and was carried 900-734. The
militants openly charged that hun
dreds of delegates in the lobby of
the Washington Auditorium, where
the congress is being held, were pre-
vented from entering the hall prior
to the vote, thus resulting in the de-
feat of their resolution.
An attempt to introduce a second
minority resolution on the U. S. S. r.
was also prevented. This resolution
would have the Continental Congress
repudiate the yenomous attacks on
the Soviet Union by leaders of the
American Federation of Labor.
The chairman based his refusal to
put this resolution to a vote on
Clause 81 of the rules of the con-
Yention which forbids any organiza
ton from being attacked"
Call Off Anti-Jim Crow Protest.
Earlier in the day, when reports
reached the Congress that the Cairo
Hotel, where many of the delegates
we're staying, was barring Negroes,
it was voted to send delegation
from the Young Peoples Socialist
League to picket the hotel. They
were cautioned, however, not to be
too demonstrative and not 10 cary
placards They no sooner arrived at
the hotel, however, when several So
cialist chiefs entered the hotel with
local lawyers. They sought out the
manager and demanded the money
that had been paid in advance for
the delegates at the hotel, threaten
ing to sue If this was not forthcom-
ing.
When the money was returned
them, they left, cancelling further
plans to demonstrate against Jim
crowisin at the hotel.
The first point on the agenda was
to have been the new Declaration of
Independence This was read and
proved to be an innocuous thing One
delegate objected, stating that "over-
