Lay Off My Territory
Says Police Inspector
To Arrested Organizer


NEW YORK. Julius Schwartz,
trade union organizer was arrested
Saturday on l4th Street and End
Avenue by detectives of the Radical
Squad and taken ''for a ride" down
to the headquarters of the radical
squad. There the Inspector laid down
the law to Schwartz to 'lay off, from
the cleaning and dying trade which
the Radical Squad claims for itself.
Julius Schwartz was manhandled
by the detectives who tried to force
a promise from him that he will not
interfere with their racket" The
Radical Squad, it is apparent from
the information, is working with the
Bosses Association and the labor
takers in control of the Drivers Union
to force wage reductions and estab-
fish non-union conditions in the in
side shops.
AT a meeting Of the Inside Local
of the Cleaners and Dyers the role
of the Radical Squad on the side of
the bosses will be exposed and pro-
posals made to mobilize the workers
to fight against the racketeers with
which the Radical Squad is working
hand in hand.

speeches of the officials,
Notable among these was Nc
Namara, who cleveriy sought to divert
attention from the charges by at
tempting to arouse an< gonism be-
tween the members on the basis of
race prejudice, advocating at the
same time a union job monopoly by
demanding the expulsion of all the
members who joined the union dur
ing recent years. Mcnamara, how
ever, openly admitted that all the
charges brought by Weinstoek and
the witnesses could not be refuted.

The rank-and- file committee, did
not, however. confine itself to making
charges, it brought forward a pro-
gram Of action which called forth en-
thusiastic a!tToval from the mem
bership. The program was presented
in the concluding remarks made by
Bordman. Some of the points of
this program are;
/. The rank-and-fi to continue its
fight to take control of the union
and to establish democracy in the
union.
2, Reinstatement of all members
who dropped out for non payment
of dues.
8. Organization of Job and Shop
Committees to initiate struggles for
improved conditions on the job.
T. Creation of Unemployed Com

membership behind the struggles of
unemployed for relief and Social In

obtain the support of the unem-

waging fight for improved condi-

NEGRO AND WHITE
YOUTH MEETING
Lenin-Liebknecht and
Luxembourg Memorial

NEW YORK.-Young Negro and
white workers of New York partici-
pated with enthusiasm in the Anti
War Mass Meeting yesterday, the
fourteenth anniversary of the slaugh-
ter by the German capitalists of Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Gutenberg
These martyrs of the working class
struggle are rightly remembered by
the young workers as initiators of
the youth movement which has to-
day developed into the Young Com
munist International.
Speaking on behalf of the Young
Communist League, Irving Herman
pointed out that the glorious tradi-
tons of these two leaders have been
carried out by such American youth
as Harry Sims, who was murdered
last year by Kentucky gun thugs, and
Joe York, a victim in the Ford Hun
ger March. Although both Lieb-
knecht and Luxembourg made serious
anti-MarXiSt errors, young workers
especially now in the face of inten-
sive imperialist preparations for war
must continue the struggle of these
leaders against imperialism.
I'm New York alone" stated Her.
man, there are 100000 unemployed
young workers, with as many as Co.
900 absolutely homeless" To all young
workers, the Young Communist
League presents the following mill
tant program:
l. Immediate listing of all unem-
ployed youth and single persons and
beginning of relief payment within
three days after registration.
2. No discrimination against youth
and single persons in the giving out
of jobs.
3. National guard armories and
closed settlement houses to be used
for homeless.
4. No discrimination against Negro
youth.
James W. Ford, member of the
Trade Union Unity League, and for
mer Communist candidate for Vice
President, pointed out that the con-
tradictions in the capitalist system
were deepening and that a militant
defense of Soviet China and the
Soviet Union is the duty of every
worker.

NEW YORK. developments in the
L. r. T. wage cut situation last week
show that the company is planning
drastic reductions in the payroll in
addition to the 10 to 80 per cent cut
ordered by the receivers, and is also
trying to use its own pay cuts to
build the subway and elevated rail-
road employees into a force to fight
for the seven or even ten cent fare.
The Brotherhood delegates (presi-
dents of the company union locals
and members Of the general commits
tee of the Brotherhood) report that
President Hedley of the I. R. T. told
them; IF we get a seven or even ten
cent fare, the wage cut will be with
drawn and everybody will get a per
cent increase in wages
20 Per Cent Of
Just how sincere the company is in
this, is seen by the hypocritical way
in which 1t has pretended to the men
on the one hand that it can't help
the 10 to 80 per cent cut, because
that was ordered by the courts, and
has at the same time taken measures
to add its own slash just at this
moment.
Each of the company department
heads was called separately to the
main Office last week, and told that
he should suggest ways and means
for a 20 per cent reduction in the
payroll of his department. 1t was
made clear to the department heads
that this could come by laying off
men and doubling up the others, by
working six day men five days, etc,
or a combination of any methods
but the payroll must go down 20 per
cent.
From S27 to $50
A sample case was outlined: A six
day man getting $3.50 a day now
draws $2T a week. If he is cut 10
per cent his weeks pay comes down
to S24.30. Then if he is laid off one
day week, his pay comes down to
S2025. Actually, he would get less
than $40 a week, because the Broth
erhood takes dues out his wages,
and certain deductions are made for
Brotherhood relief" etc.

GREEK WORKERS
DENOUNCE CHURCH
Archbishop Forced to

NEW YORK-The United Front
Committee of Greek Unemployed
Workers of Greater New York held
an important mass meeting on Mon
day at st. Elenthenois Church at 358
West Gath ST., to report on their &C
tivities and prepare for conference
on Feb. IL.
Thirty-siX delegates from various
working-class organizations were re-
presented. Delegates from the Greek
Workers of the Food Workers Indus
trial Union, from tn Furriers De-
partment of the Needle Trades In
dustrial Union, from the Marine
Workers Industrial Union greeted the
United Front Committee of Action,
endorsed its program and its de-
mands and pledged full support, Two
women spoke as representatives from
the West 18th st and 9th st. Block
Committees.
The spokesman for the United
Front Committee condemned the Ar
ehbishop for calling on the police to
intimidate the Greek Workers del
egation and viciously slandering and
discriminating against the Greek
working class women,
"The representative of God was
finally forced to promise to inYesti-
gate the charges.
Jane Williams, Secretary of the
West Side Unemployed Council
greeted also the workers.
Econonaakos, representing the
"Empros," the Greek Labor Weekly
delivered an attack against a small
group of Trotskyites, who came as
delegates under the disguise of a
fake Greek Workers Club. Mr.. Pa
lainis, the priest of the Santa Bar
bara Church, tried to persuade the
workers to have faith in the church,
the Archbishop, and God as the only
means af alleyiating the misery and
suffering of the masses.
Mike Daniels, the spokesman of the

Unemployed Workers denounced this
speech, telling of the hypocriscy and
failure of the Archbishop and the
Central Committee of the Greek
Charities to live up to their promises
He charged that the demands pro-
posed by the delegation of the United

Correction: Ford
Attacked Negro
National RefOrmism

The city editor regrets that an
item slipped into Saturdays edition
saying that James w. Ford at Harlem
Workers Center Thursday night de-
nouneed Negro Nationalism." What
was meant, of course. was that Ford
opposed the proposal for Bourgeois
Jim Crow Negro nationalism
which the Sufeite advocated. Ford,
naturally, was not going back on his
repeated declarations while running
for Vice President of U. s. on the
Communist ticket, in favor of Self
Determination in the Black Belt.
His attacks were leyelled against the
Negro national reformists who betray
the Negro liberation struggle under
cover of left" phrases. An article
analysing the reformist tendncies of
the Sufeites and Garyeyites will fol-
low soon.
