2 Negroes Fired from
Dress Shop; LilyWhite

NEW YORK.-Two Negro workers

dame Frock Co., at 571 Eighth Ave,
an NRA shop controlled by the Inter

They complained at the NRA Of
flee where they were told the boss
cannot be prevented from firing any
body he feels like.
These workers felt they had a
claim on the I. l.. G.. U. since they
were union members. When the
agent pulled their shop down during
the general strike, they went with
the others to Bryant Hall, even when
he told them they didn't have to go
along. They didn't realize the agent
was following the line of constant
discrimination Of Negro workers pur-
sued by the I. l.. G. U.
But they are certain Of this dis
elimination now. When they COM
planned to the I. L. G. U. officials
they were emphatically told that
nothing can or will be done about
their being fired from the shop, even
though it is controlled by the
International.

Herein lies the significance of the

America has never fought war
without specific appeal being made
to the loyalty and patriotism of the
Negro masses. In every war time

promised Negroes freedom. They

Foundry Strikers.

Observation-Disclosures
1000 Out Solid Are
Determined to Win
Strike

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 27.-Car-
loads of gangsters were imported by
the Walworth Foundry Co., at
Greensburg, when the bosses refused
10 negotiate with the strike commit
Zee on Monday.
Riding through the town in big
cars, they were preparing to attack
the picket lines. Over 1000 men are
on strike under the leadership of the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, demanding higher pay and
union recognition.
Threats we're sent to John Meldon,
secretary of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union, one of the
leaders of the strike.
The strike committee sent out a
general alarm for reinforcements re-
sulting in a thoosand piiketS assem-
bling within 90 minutes.
A bodyguard was thrown around
Mellon and the local strike leaders,
Morris and Conroy, to prevent
gangster attack.
Striking United Mine Workers of
America members in the vicinity
rushed in machines and joined the
pickets.
The picket line was like an armed
camp all night, preparing for the
gangster attack. BY Tuesday morning
terror eyaporated, the gangsters dis
appeared.
They are expected back soon, but
the workers are ready for them.
The representative of the Green's
burg business men, Yates, approached
the strike committee on four differ
ent occasions, claiming to be impair
tial, and wanted to bring about a
meeting between Mr.. Coonley, presi-
dent of the company, and the strike
committee.
The strike committee agreed to
meet the company and to discuss the
demands. The company sent back
word with Yates that they would
meet only with ANY group Of Wal
worth employees, regardless of the
number. The committee interpreted
this statement as non-recognition of
the strike committee and an effort of
the company to talk to the workers
individually.
The committee notified the COM
pany through Yates that they would
meet only as elected representatives
of the strikers.
This took place on Monday. During
the day six machines loaded with
bosses representatives toured the city
and the picket lines. After negotia-
lions fell through MANY carloads of
gangsters from Pittsburgh and else
where were brought in.
Relief is needed badly. A soup
kitchen has been set up feeding over
500 daily, functioning day and night.
Pickets have thrown up tents sur
rounding the plant, getting ready for
a long siege if necessary.
This strike is decisive in this dis
trict, and all organizations nationally
are called upon to send strike relief
to the Strike Committee, 1411 Broad

FORT SMITH, Ark, Sept. 26.--
Howled down by 1000 Arkansas

from Washington and spoke at a
mass meeting urging them to go
back under the code, David Fowler,
UNfWA president of district 81, said
he would go to each local and at
tempt to send the men back under
the code.
Delegates of 81 U. M w. A. locals
voted for a strike last week while
Fowler was in Washington helping
draw up in the soft coal code. The
wages provided for Arkansas Okla
hona miners was the old scale of
$3.75.
In the Spadra coal fields, john

Several thousand more are out in
Sebastian County.
II have no apology to make for
either myself or Lewis" Fowler said
in trying to get the men to accept
the slave code and wage agreement.
Boos and jeers greeted him from
the 1000 miners. Fowler started to
speak, but was repeatedly heckled.
Riled by the miners disgust with
his attempt to put over the slave
code, Fowler bawled out, For Gods
sake, shut up before you show your
ignorance"
Fowler quoted the Southwest
Times-Record of Fort Smith, an
operators paper, which said that
Lewis is the greatest labor leader
in the country"
He then made an appeal to the
men to return to work. A chorus of

THE president appeals to you to go
to work." retorted Fowler. Again the
miners shouted, mo, Tell him, no!
Tell him mol" I'VE won't return to
work until they give us a living wage
and promise not to fine us for

IF you don't go to work the gov

Fowler then changed his tactics.

The county BOARD, however, has
dropped a number OF its applicants,
from the relief rolls. The unem-
ployed organization protested against
this outrage and already gained aid
for 400 families who were previously
eliminated. A re-registration is now
being made to ascertain the number
who have been dropped.
The increase in relief is totally
inadequate to meet the steady sky
rocketing of prices on food products.
A considerable increase adequate to
meet the needs of the jobless is
asked for by the Unemployed Coun-
ellis.
Relief distribution here suffers the
same as in other communities. At
best the county cares only for a
small portion of the unemployed.
The constant danger that relief will
be stopped and the shifting of re-
sponsibility to other government
bodies, makes it necessary to develop
a coordinated program on ma
tional basis.
This can best be achieved through
a system of unemployment insur-
ance. The federal government, by
levying taxes on the wealthy could
raise the necessary funds whereby
every family will receive weekly
stipend in cash to live on.
The councils are active in getting
support in its campaign to compel
the government to adopt the workers

Gently stopped here. An attempt to
sell the belongings of Abraham
Orma, a farmer in Patton Town
ship, was stopped by the immediate
of the workers.
In Ambridge, Pa, five hundred
workers attended a meeting called
by the Unemployed Council. Over
two hundred have signed in the or

when single men heretofore fed only
on slop in the soup kitchens are now
given a dollar food order weekly.

wounded, of whom half had to be

the police, saying that they we're busy
handling numerous strikes in the
city.
Long sentences and overcrowding
is given as the reason for the riot
