Erection of 300 federal buildings at one and the same time throughout the country should certainly have good stimulus on various trades. Postmaster General Farley has given the signal to start. It only rec mains to start actual building. It Is ex- pected that this huge building program will do great deal to relieve unemploy- ment conditions still almost as bad today as one year ago. The money will be di. verted from the S65,000,000 public works fund in the second deficiency appropria- ton bill. Let's hope it will make real dent in old Man Depression.

If we Communists share the in

these conclusions.
And, comrade, this depends on
you.
Do not thousands of workers in

1000 Relief Workers Fired;

DR.. Walter R. Fruit, district SUI

Especial to the Daily wOrksrl

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 20
More than 1000 county relief
workers were fired here last night
in a move to cut down relief costs.
An announcement was made that
these workers will be put on di-
rect relief, but past experience has
shown that attempts will be made
to keep many of them off the re-
lief rolls unless they put up stiff
fight for their rights. Direct re-
lief, moreover, generally averages
less than the very low wages paid
on relief projects.
Simultaneous with this new at
tack on the unemployed came a
proposal from the welfare Com
mission for shifting the relief
burden still further on to the
working masses in lottery scheme
similar to the proposal made by
the Board Of Aldermen in New
York. The proposal was made at
a meeting Of the welfare Com
mission yesterday and has the ap-
proval of Welfare Superintendent
John F.. Ballenger. A committee
was appointed to make a study of
the plan.

TO EVERY PARTY MEMBER /:

Is there a single Communist who
would not have wished that our
Party had been five or ten times
stronger among the textile workers
to prevent Germans betrayal? Is
there single Communist who
would not have wished that there
had been more organized groups in
the thousands of mills, that there
had been more organized Commu-
mist fractions in the locals of the
United Textile Workers, in close
contact with the textile workers?
Is there single Communist who
would not have wished that there
had been twenty times as many
Communists in the mass meetings
and on the picket lines than there
were?
There Is no such Communist.
And every Communist worked in
the strike for the victory of the
strike, to help the workers in the
best possible manner to organize
themselves, to overcome the bosses
resistance, to organize the picket
lines, to warn of the betrayal-in
I word: every Communist tried his
est to help the strike to victory.
It is therefore evident that every
Communist wishes that twenty or
thirty times as many Communists

Myra Page inquired pointedly
Does law and order in North
Carolina mean the use of bayonets
against unarmed strikersP" the
Governor replied, Eyes, my dear
young lady, law and order in
cludes bayonets, becoming heated
in defense of his calling out Ma
tional Guards ito protect the di-
vine right Of men to work" The
Governor said he considered this "a
prior right to the right to strike"
He further stated that flying
sQuadrons and mass picket lines
were not peaceful picketing, and
were contrary to the laws of North
Carolina.
While the Governor held that the
National Guard is impartial" the
committee presented evidence show
ing their strike breaking activities.
The Governor then angrily de-
manded, What are you trying to
do. Put me on the spot?"
In the case of Criswell, the Gov
ernor refused to exercise pardon
powers, although at the very time
OF the interview a telegram from
Concord local 1892, United Textile

Regarding Riley's widow and
family, the Governor said the state
could do nothing, but he would be
glad if the charities would help
them.

LS.U. Chief Maneuvers
Backstage for Share
In Bosses Swag
BY JOHN ADAMS

The seamen of the Atlantic Coasi
are going to strike on October 8
Whether or not the seamen are vic
torious is mainly to be decided now
before the strike, by the seamer
themselves.
The daily press with the excep-
ton of the Communist press is
featuring the leaders of the Inter-
national Seamen'S Union as the
leaders of this strike. 1t is neces-
Sary for the mass of seamen to
Immediately acquaint themselves
with the two major opinions in the
strike situation, the group repre-
sented by Victor Olander and Co.,
Of the I. S. u, and the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, which
represents the rank and file sea-
men, unorganized, as well as those
in its ranks and in the ranks of
the I. S. U.
BY their deeds, actions and own
words, we shall prove that the
clique of Olander and Co. do not
intend to lead this strike for the
important needs and demands of
the seamen.
The seanen want an increase in
wages. More than 80 ships and
thousands of seamen participated
in the formulation of the wage de-
mandS drafted at the Baltimore
United Action Conference on Sept.
l, which are advanced in the M. w
1. U. strike call. The M. w. I. U
call includes licensed men and other
crafts not included in the I. S. U
call, and tells them to formulate
their own scale demands.
Olander's Sincerity
Olander and Co. advance demands
that are lower in many instances
than those of the United Action
Conference. In the call issued to
the men on Atlantic waters, the I
S. U. officials exempt the Eastern
Steamship Co., Black Diamond and
the tanker lines, including the
Standard Oil, on the grounds that
these companies are negotiating
with Olander and Co. These COM
panies pay less than OIander claims
to stand for in the strike call.
Men of the Eastern SIS. Co. met

Rank and File Control
viii Make Strike
A Real Fight

Olander out there, were trying to
break the strike.
A new generation of Seamen can
find out from old timers about the
1921 general strike, which Olander,
Furuseth and Co. betrayed. These
are the same crew that are behind
Olander today in fake strike call.
They intend to lead" the strike,
unless prevented by the seamen, in
order to steer it safely for the ship
ping bosses. In 1921 they betrayed
100000 sean.en.
Rank and File Control
Instead of letting this "built-up"
leadership of Olander and Co. go
unchallenged, the seamen should
immediately demand that the I. S.
U. officials let their rank and file
elect delegates to the United Action
Committees in all ports, composed
of delegates of the M. w. I. u,
r. S. u, unorganized and indepen-
dent union men, who alone shall
lead the strike.
These committees are to be re-
sponsible directly to the .seamen,
who are to vote any decision in end
ing the strike, etc. The economic
demands, centralized shipping bu-
reau, ETC., And the free choice Of
union membership, with recognition
of unions and ships committees, are
not to be lost just because the
shipping bosses agree to sit down
and talk it over" They will talk
more to our understanding If their
ships can't move.
Because it has been the only
union to actually lead struggles on
the ships and ashore, for the work.

industry, the seamen should join

Union.

der 81 Co. do not mean business, but
we do! We will treat all strike
breakers and tricksters alike, whether
they claim to be impartial" gov
eminent men or to be our leaders. :"
The seamen will do the striking.
The seamen will lead their own
strike and build their own union.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Sept. 90
The coal miners and mill workers
Of Luzerne County, in which is To-
Gated Hszelton, scene of the heroic
two-day general strike in sympathy
with the textile workers, are :.e-
spending with enthusiasm to the
election campaign Of the Commu-
mist Parry.
A dozen highly successful CAM
paign meetings have been held
throughout the county in the ps4t
two weeks, carrying the Communist
Congressional platform to hum
dreds upon hundreds of new work.
ers.
All of the miners and mill hands
who attend Communist election
meetings here have been listening
with new esgerness and growing
sympathy since the textile strike
began.
Harry M. Wicks. Communist can-
didate for United States Senator,
spoke to six meetings in this
county recently. Local candidates
and for the State Legislature have
also been warmly received, as has
been the case in the meetings held
for John Muldowney, candidate for
Congressman.
The betrayal of the textile strike
through the Vaccinations of the
United Textile Workers Union
leadership and the agencies of the
Roosevelt government has prepared
the ground here for convincing new
thousands of workers of the cor
rectness of the Communist de-
mand:
Against capitalist terror ard
the growing trend toward fascism;
against compulsory arbitration and
company unions; against the use Of
troops in strikes. >"
Meetings are being planned now
for Dan Singer, veteran rank and
file miners leader, who is candidate
for Secretary of Internal Affairs,
and Patrick Cush, steel worker, who
is candidate for Governor. Meet
ings are also being arranged for
William Powell, Negro, candidate
for Lieutenant Governor, and for
Norris Wood, nominee for Judge Of
the Superior Court.

Olander, arG Hitler's Labor Front
in the marine industry of Germany
Thus, in supporting this N. S. L
B., Olander shows himself to be un-
concerned whether o. not seamen
have the right to join a union OF
their own choice.
We seamen want the Centralized
Shipping Bureau supervised by an
elected committee of ssamcn, where
regardless of union affliation, sea-
men can register and ship out in
rotation.
Thus we see that Olander and Co.
do not mean business for the seamen
as regards wages, union recognition
smashing of the blacklist system
etc.
What then is to be construed from
their strike call? They will lead
a strike to scare the bosses into
dealing with them, and at the same
time be prepared to prevent the
strike from going too far" and
hurting the bosses.
Oiander's Record
The recent history of Olandet
shoulud be briefly recalled. Olander
is the Great Lakes vice-president OF
the I. S. U. In 1882, the steel trust
controlling most of the Lake boats
cut wages 80 per cent. Olander and
the I. S. U. made not one effort to
organize the seamen to defeat the
cut.
Olander has been, and still is, the
state secretary of the Illinois Fed
Grafton of Labor, which includes the
gangster- dominated Chicago A. F
of L. unions.
Olander has never made public
report to Seamen on the proceedings
