ting plan in New York State, already
calls for the taking of $4,000 men

and placing them under the civil
works program. Now these home re.
lief workers are forced to labor nine
days a month for their relief. Under
Roosevelt's plan, those who get relief
will have to work a 30-hour week.
The announcement of the appropria.
ton Of $25, 7z0, 900 monthly, for three
months to New York State does not
disclose how this money will be spent.

Attempt to Lynch
Negro Marine Union
Organizer in Cairo

CAIRO. ILL.,, Nov. 16.-An attempt
to lynch William Westerbrook, Negro
organizer for the Marine Workers
ing the strike of $50 Negro dockers
on the Federal Barge Lines here, was
made early this week.
A lynch mob, organized by the
superintendents on the Barge Lines,
directly owned and controlled by the
U. s. government, came to Wester-
brooks home at Q o'clock In the morn
ing. Only his immediate flight saved
him from death.
Failing to crush two previous
strikes here, as well as strikes on the
same line in st. Louis, resulting in
wage increases of the Negro lockers,
the bosses are attempting this means
to smash the organization of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union.
The first step was the blacklisting
Of q member of the dock committee OF
the union here. After protesting, a
strike was called. The strike was ex-
tremely militant and the few who
attempt to scab were beaten up.
Twelve Negro longshoremen were ar
rested. The docks are patrolled by
armed guards.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

THE Scottsboro Boys are In graver
! danger from lynchers than ever
before.
Their enemies belong to the very
same gang which is cutting wages,
enforcing N.R.A. slave codes, encour-
aging the growth Of fascism, shooting
down strikers, cutting the worth of
your hard earned dollar by imitation.
1t Is the same gang that aims to
slaughter the sons of the workers in
imperialist war. 1t is the same gang
that is keeping Tom Mooney, Angelo
Herndon, Herbert Benjamin, and
other working class leaders In prison.
HOW to fight this gangp How to
IL defend ourselves against 1t and

the Soviet Union crushed their enc
mics?
YOU CAN ANSWER THIS! You
know that day after day, the Daily
Worker builds stronger the American
working class in its heroic struggles to
be free from the chains of capitalism.
No other American daily newspaper
does this. No other American daily
newspaper is SO hated and feared by
this veno-ous gang. They want to

Sheriff J. F.. Hawkins of jefferson

More arrests continue in the coal
strike here. Alvarado Correa, who
had succeeded in lodging the coal
operators police, who are the militia,
was arrested Monday. Attorney
Lynch, for the International Labor
Defense, from Phoenix, Arizona, was
also again picked up on the street.
BY this means the militia prepares
the ground for the NR.A. Labor

Moore, who is due to arrive in Gallup
today, after having conferred With
Governor H. w. Hockenhull, Monday,
at Santa Fe.
Charles Guynn, who pointed out
the role of Major Moore as Labor
Board representative, is still being
held, with fourteen others, IN the mill

been held in the filthy and vermin
infested city Jail for ten days without

'speech, calls for abolishing re-
lief lists quickly. Roosevelt
brazenly declaring that it was
for the mental good" Of the un-
employed workers that they be taken
of Of relief, spoke in principle
against any form of unemployment
insurance, under cover of attacking
the dole" The National Committee
OF the Unemployed Councils issued
statement urging the workers 10
fight against being put off the relief
lists.
Breaking all campaign promises
Of adequate relief and his promise of
unemployment insurance, Roosevelt
said, THE quicker they are taken off
the dole the better" Roosevelt ad-
mitted that his promise to give six
million jobs had not been kept. He
said, "Tbe actual figures make very
little difference, because there are
still great many, still millions un-
employed"
Fight Against Forced Labor
He held out to the seventeen nil
lion unemployed a denial Of unem-
ployment insurance. Instead, Roose-
welt declared the unemployed must
accept forced labor, which will I'M
doubtcdly be, for those few who get
any work, part time work, at non
union wages and conditions.
The statement Of the Unemployed
Councils, signed by I. Amter, secre$
tary, declared, Under this plan, mil
lions will obtain no work and no re-
lief. The organization of the neigh
borhood assemblies and neighborhood
councils of the Unemployed Councils
chould proceed rapidly. All workers
organizations and all unemployed
workers should refuse to allow the
unemployed to be cut of the relief
lists" The organization of unem-
ployed committees on all work relief
Jobs to fight against the bad condi-
tons prevailing in forced labor camps
and projects already established was
urged by Amter.
The Roosevelt regime is attempt
ing to cover up the failure of the
Public Works Program. Federal Re-
lief Director Hopkins said, 'T1e
beauty Of the plan (the new forced
labor plan of Roosevelt) is that 1t
will fill in the gap in the public
works program, without in any way
conflicting with it. We find it much
more difficult to get men at work
On public works than was anticipated.
People have become impatient Of the
delay and have great sympathy with
their impatience. I feel it too" The

with as much publicity as the pres

WASHINGTON, Nov. t6.-Anxiety
gave way to hope that recognition
of Soviet Union will be announced
by Friday night as Maxim L.tvinoff
was invited by President Roosevelt
to talk things over once more late
this afternoon. Optimism in White
House circles was mi-rored by al fol-
lowing the Russian-AmericaI con-
versations.
Urge Haste
From a welter of horseback opin
.ons and inspired comment there
emerged general conviction that
the United States spokesman are &C
tually driving a stiff bargain with
the Soviet Cor1ni-sar. In addition
TO ofosterin an exaggerated con-
ception that the man in the White
House is obtaining big conc essions.
The Women's International League
for Peace and Freedom, a liberal
pacifist group. in a letter to Roose-
welt, signed by Dorothy Deter, execu-
tive secretary of the w. !. L., and
issued also 10 the press, asked
for American cooperation with
Russia Gin joint plan for
total and universal disarmament"
They said they were eagerly await
ing the final announcement OF formal
recognition" and added:
eve are aware OF the fact that
there are many minor details which
take time to negotiate, but we trust
that this step which is so important
for peace in tie p-c-c-,t wc-ld crisis
will not 1---~ ra T~'~-~5. With the
'ngerous situation in the Far r.
the crisis il { 1iillaly, and the I'M
passe at the Disarmament Confer
ence, no greater contribution could be
made for world peace than If our
government would declare It's tnten-
ton to cooperate at once with the
u. s. S. r. on disarmament.
eff as a first step after recogni-
ton has been established, these two
great republics would offer to the
conference a Joint proposal for total
and universal disarmament which has
twice been proposed for total and
universal disarmament by the Rus
sian delegation at Geneva, 1t would
seem to us that the present drift
toward war and fascism might effec-
lively be stemned."
This pacifist move reflected con-
t,nuing nervousness despite the fact
that there was much comforting
emong Americans participating in the
conversations.

its to the Presidents office after it
was indicated there that Litvinoff
was expected before evening.
Optimism was based also on the
general co,~--r''s thet pacs-ve't. as
observers said, cannot Afford to let
the negotiations drag on after he

claimed to have inside information
pointed out that he might well act

tic matters-and that bis statement
that pessimism would not be war
