through representatives, of their
own choosing"
2-"That no employee and no one
seeking employment shall be re-
auired as a condition of employ
ment to join any organization or
refrain from joining a labor or

3-"That employers shall COM
ply with the maximum hours Of
labor, minimum rates Of pay and
other conditions approved or pre-
scribed by the president"
The very first statement issued by
General Hugh S. Johnson completely

Is, the Roosevelt industrial recovery
act comes to the new deal for the
workers.
These sections Of the law under
he heading of Limitations Upon
application of Title" most directly
concern the workers. 1t is these Sec
tions of the law that made Green
exclaim that this legislation would
| in operation drain our pool of I'M
employment. He went into further
ecstasies, as he always does when
the bosses make slick wage-cutting
proposal and said;
This proposed legislation marks
! very definite step forward in
industrial sterilization, rational
ization. and economic planning.
The bill Is appropriately termed an
industrial recovery measure. 1t is

looking legislation designed to pro-
mote economic recovery that has
thus far been proposed. In the
opinion Of labor 1t will, when ap-
piled, prove to be a real, practical,
constructive remedy for unemploy-
ment."
Z Before analysing what this 'for-
Yard looking" legislation actually
means for labor, and not for Green,
we must ask at this point why the
railroads were not included In this
all-embracing plan. We will discuss
mere in detail the recovery bill and
the question Of planned economy in
another article. But certainly the
railroads would be the pivot of a
planned economy. Yet special bill

Officials Postpone General Strike
A. F. of L. officials in control of
the strike refused yesterday to call
a general strike, declaring that it
should be postponed for later date.
The official Clique is bent on repeat
ing the treachery of 1881, and has
assumed full control of the strike
and settlement committee, keeping
out the rank and file.
The Rand School meeting was the
occasion of demagogic speech by
the officials, in which the Recovery
Act was brought in to stifle any
militant struggle.
Rank, File Calls for Real Strike.
The rank and file committee calls
upon the pocketbook workers to turn
the strike into a genuine, militant
struggle and to force the officials to
declare a general strike to include
the independent and open shops.
The workers ere demanding a re-
newal of the agreement without re-
adjustment, without reorganization,
a 40-hour and 5-day week.
All pocketbook workers are called
to picket duty today at 7:30 am
at their respective shops. A meeting
of the pocketbook workers employed
in the open shops is called for We'd
nesday at s pm. at the Rand School
by the union.

mands were enormously reported by

ton of Labor, in making use of the

port.
a. Day to Day Struggles
The only way" declared Raymond,
that we can fight this vicious re-
',oyery bill, that aims to force us into
an organization that the bosses
choose for us, is by building and per-
fecting our groups in the shop and
by carrying on day to day struggles
against wage cuts, for an increase in
wages to meet the rising living cost,
and against increasingly unbearable
conditions"
Raymond emphasized the impor-
lance of fighting against Negro dis
elimination and of conducting acti-
witty among the women and the
youth. He discussed the successful

their shortcomings, and called for

FOUR ARMY FILTERS KILLED

EOOh ANN
LANGLEY FIELD, Va, June g.
-Four army filters, on a training
trip, we're killed yesterday when their
heavy bombing plane crashed into
the James River. The army has
been experimenting with flights of
planes carrying heavy loads in an
effort to determine the maximum
capacity for bombs so that one flight
can achieve greater destruction than
heretofore. The plane was loaded
too heavily and when attempts were
made to fly low over the river it
could not be made to rise quickly
enough to avoid striking the water.

thing out of those who attend. The
attractions are worthless from an
amusement or educational stand

FEDERAL FORESTRY RECRUITS
SENT TO SEPARATE CAMPS

New York, April-Although no
discrimination has been found thus
far in the recruiting of men to serve
in the federal reforestation camps
the colored men are being sent to
separate camps. The Cincinnati, Phil
adelphia and Chicago branches of the
NAACP. followed up personally the
enlistment Of the men in their cities
and report no discrimination against
Negroes. In New York, the NAACP
national office found that Negroes
were being enlisted proportionately,
but that whites were being sent to
Fort Slocum, near New Rochelle. N.

Camp Dix, New Jersey. The separa-
ton is believed due to the fact that
the Val department has charge of
the enlistment and the War depart

Do others seem to you unkind-
Seem all against you to combine.
To block your way, and hinder you,
In all you may essay to do?
If this appears without q cause.
1t would be wise for you to pause,
And your own self sincerely weigh
Your words and actions to assay.
Yourself seen as by others viewed,
Perhaps you'd find their attitude.
When, shall the truth be fully known.
Was but reflection Of your own.
Seeing yourself as others see.
Perhaps you'd find the truth to be.
That what you've dealt to other men,
Was meted unto you, again.
