FOltiS Manager
Is Anti-Semite
BY a Worker Correspondent

- "a fFOAhCA CVAIESJOklutnG
NEW YORK-There is a Foltis
Foods cafeteria on Fourth Avenue
and 2Sth st. I have eaten there at
various times in the evening. The
name of the evening manager is
George. He has expressed anti
semitic sentiments to the guests at
various times. He has said as much
to me, certain that I was not
Jewish.
Just the other day I overheard
him say that if there was a war
against the Jews he would be the
first one to join it. This is not an
Isolated fact, but has been preceded
by anti-Jewish statements all along.
Comrade, think that something
should be done about it. Let the
workers who eat there know. Let
the Jews and primarily the Jewish
workers know. Let us demand the
removal Of this evening manager
let us do it in a proletarian way
by walking up and down in front
of this cafeteria with protest plac-
ards and demanding the removal
of this blood-thirsty anti-semite.
Possibly this ought to be arranged
by the Food Workers Industrial
Union.

Anti-War Congress

The second U. S. Congress Against

fore, is part of the imperative de-
Tense of the workers interests and
OF the workers lives.
To help make the mobilization
for this Congress a most thorough
one, all of our branches must be-
come active. Discussions must be
prepared and carried through oy

war and fascism. Delegates to the
Congress must be elected and fl

advances toward the solution of its
most important problem, the build
ing o. the English Section.
The Order cannot be an American
workers organization if it does not
have within its ranks masses OF
native American Negro and white
workers. Of course the foreign
language-speaking workers are a
most important part of the Amer
lean working class. But the aspira-
tons and hopes of the American
working class can never be realized
without the masses of the native
American workers.
At the time of our last Conven-
ton we had 500 members in the
English Section. Today we have
$500 members, About 500 of these
are Negroes. The $500 members Of
our English Section supply us with
quite a solid foundation upon
which We can build a solid struc-
ture of a powerful section Of Amer
lean workers in the TWO
Our next winter campaign must
devote good deal Of its efforts to
the building of this structure. The
English Section is now the fourth
largest section in the Order. We
must make it the largest section.
We must build it to conform in its
proportion to the proportions of the
native to the foreign-born workers
in the American working class.

PARTY LIFE
Conrode Offers Suggestions
In Bronx Consumers Strike
Communists Engaged In This Kind Of York
Should Write Experiences for Others

Il read in today's Daily more news
about the neighborhood consumers
bakery strike in the Bronx
Now a consumers strike seems
to me generally speaking ques-
tionable matter More often than
not it develops spontaneously and
usually has behind it a bourgeois,
reactionary theology (as for example
the snti-Jew boycott in Germany.
However. here apparently, is a we'll
organized, effective consumers strike
with the revolutionary Communist
Party behind it.
1T is necessary to point out, how
ever, that an effective leaflet must
be at once issued and put in the
hands of every union worker in the
struck shops to counteract the effect
Of the vicious A. F, of L. officials
leaflet. The content of the latter is
all too appealing to a backward
worker. If the worker must accept
lower wages or see his boss go out
of business due to no margin of
profit, he will resent the boycott
there is no other way out until the
whole country is ready for the rev.
olution. Therefore, in order to coun-
teract this perfectly natural attitude.
a leaflet, if possible exposing the
precise amount Of profit made by
the bosses-must be put in the
hands of these workers. Let not the
comrades, through being oyer-in-
volved in neighborhood work, there
by damage the Party's prestige in
the unions.
However what I mainly wanted
to say was that apparently these
comrades in the street units have
been able to organize and pull off
an effective strike on the part of
the whole neighborhood. Perhaps
they were favored by being in To-
cality where there was only one
nationality, workers of similar
economic and cultural level and so
on. But in any case, I, as mem
Der of street unit working in a
relatively new and difficult terri
tory, and being personally compare
lively new to the work, am certain
that there ar many others like me
who would profit by the experience
these comrades had in penetrating
into and organizing their neighbor-
hood Cannot one of the comrades
engaged in this work write an ac-
count of their experiences for this
column? am certain such ex-
perience would be worthy of a place
in the Party Life Column.

but he didn't suggest what steps

and the NR.A. at the same time.
The meeting was closed after the
next speaker confessed his inability
to answer some Of the questions
that a group of Harvard students
asked, whom he had been address

the impression that the A. F. of L..

the workers because not single
question was allowed from the floor
and no discussion permitted at all

the workers was simply ignored. An

than eight years I have watched the
Daily Worker grow, from four pages
to six, eight and sometimes even ten
pages, but there is one thing that
keeps preying on my mind.
I remember that after each major
demonstration or some struggle Of
the working-class where there has
been conflict with the physical
forces of capitalism, (such as police,
hired gangsters, strikebreakers) a
call is put into the Daily Worker
for workers to organize workers de-
tense corps, so that We could defend
ourselves from attacks, but after two
or three days things quiet down and
nothing is heard of it until the next
fight After the gangsters had
raided the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union headquarters, a cry
was made for worker defense corps
but nothing has come of it.
AZ SAllo b44AiC especially W1lSll t dS-
ciSt organizations are growing at an
alarming speed, when our capitalist
press exposes" uniformed German
Nazis, one of whose avowed purposes
are the destruction of revolutionary
organizations, we should organize
and be prepared to defend ourselves
from the murderous attacks of these
hoodlums. We must see that our
meetings are not broken up.
In foreign countries our brother
parties have taken the initiative to
organize worker defense corps, they
have successfully countered the at
tacks of fascistS and gangs In the
West the farmers have successfully
defended themselves against thugs
and Strikebreakers. We must not
wait until more workers are beaten
up at demonstrations and picket
lines. We cannot afford to sacrifice
the lives of our comrades. We must
build and build until we have strong
and disciplined workers defense
groups all over the United States:
