an economic struggle. The workers
are having their eyes opened to the

A. F. of L. Leaders Like Capitalism
What is the role of the A. F. of
L. leaders in the labor movement"
Comrade Browder asked. Have you
any reason to believe that the pol
ictes of Ramsey here in Toledo are
any different from that of the A. F.
Of L. misleaders elsewhere?
Then Comrade Browder went
ahead to point out to the workers
how Oliver Myers, secretary of the
Central Labor Union and head of
the committee of % to make prep
arations for the general strike, had
no such intentions and instead of
preparing for the general strike did
only two things: one, was to send a
telegram to President Roosevelt.

come down and stop the sentiment
for a general strike" and two, to
keep the radicals out Of the huge
workers demonstration.
and what happens when the
workers have the boss cornered and
victory within their reach? The A.
F. of L. misleaders, who have no
quarrel with the system, who believe
that capitalism is all right and that
just few unruly employers are to
blame for all this, come out and
say, You have the boss in a corner,
after all, he's pretty good fellow
Don't be too hard on him and ask
for a ten per cent raise, be satisfied

This is the demagogy of the la
Dor takers which Comrade Browder
exposed in his speech to the work
ers and which was frequently in
terrupted by bursts of applause.
Fifteen workers joined the Commu-
mist Party at the meeting.

Torture of Strike
Leader Protested
By Labor Defense
Charges Laid Against
Cops by Delegation
AT Police Headers

NEW YORK.-The International
Labor Defense announced yesterday
that it would demand punishment
of all police officers responsible for
the fiendish beating and torture ad-
ministered to Patsy Augustine,
leader of the strike at Nathan's Fa-
nous Cafe, 1915 Surf Ave, Coney
Island.
A picture Of Augustine's bruised
and lacerated body was published in
the Daily Worker Saturday.
Augustine, accompanied by David
M. Freedman, attorney for the In
ternational Labor Defense, and rep
resentatives of the National Com
nittee for the Defense of Political
Prisoners and the Cafeteria Work
ers' Industrial Union, went to police
headquarters Saturday to protest
against the beating.
Augustine charged that detectives
assaulted him with a rubber hose,
burned his feet with matches,
scared his face with burning
cigarettes and pulled out his hair
in an attempt to get him to confess
to the stabbing of Isador Gilman,
foreman of a fur shop.
An affidavit by DR.. Martin
Szabados describing Augustine's in
juries was submitted to the First
Deputy Commissioner of Police
Harold L. Fowler, who promised to
investigate the case.
Augustine charged that he was
under the third degree of the police
in the Eighth st. Police Station for
ten solid hours. He was arrested
in his home, dragged from bed and
taken to the police station, where
he was charged with assault and
tortured by police. He is the chair
man of the strike committee at
Nathans Cafe.
An Injunction has been granted
against the Nathan strikers by Jus
tice Faber, notorious for his infa-
nous Injunction against the Stand
ard Baking Co. workers. 1t forbids
picketing within the area of the
cafe.

Food Union Urges
United Action to
Smash Injunction
Suggests Committees
OF Bakers Union and
F.W.I.U. Discuss Plan

NEW YORK.-Urging i'm
mediate united action to
smash the injunction issued
by Judge Faber against the
workers of the Standard Bak-
ing Company, which makes it
illegal for them to strike,
picket or talk about striking or
picketing, Jay Rubin, secretary of
the Food Workers Industrial Union
proposed that q committee of FIVE
be elected in the Bakers Local, No.
sos, to meet with a similar commit
tee from the Food Workers Indus
trial Union to discuss plans of
struggle.
The proposal Of the Food Workers
Industrial Union was made in a let
ter sent by Rubin to Local sos Of
the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers Union.
THE Standard Baking Company
Injunction issued against your local
union by Justice Faber is the most
vicious anti-labor injunction in the
history of the New York labor
movement" says the letter. This in
junction openly and brazenly legal
lies the open shop and stops any
other labor organization from COM
ing to your aid.
ut Is this same Justice Faber,
who only a few weeks ago, issued
. similar injunction against our
Union in the Coney Island restau-
rant known as Nathan's Famous,
Inc. He also recently issued an
injunction against the American
Federation Of Labor Hairdressers
Union.
These vicious iniunctions set a
precedent which will be used
against all labor organizations
from now on that are, or will, or
ganize workers to lead them in
struggle for higher wages, shorter
hours, better conditions, and
union conditions.
There Is certainly no doubt in
any ones mind that a united
struggle Of all labor organizations
" must be organized against the in
functions issued against your local
and against our union.
I'VE propose that you elect
committee from your local union
to meet with similar committee
of our union for the purpose of or
ganizing joint and wide struggle
against this injunction menace

United ActiOn Meeting Plans
Fight for Relief and HR 1898
VIII Prepare for City-Wide General Strike;
GaynOr Heads Committee

NEW YORK-About 200 delegates
opened the fourth session of the
United Action Conference on Work
Relief and Unemployment yester-
day to plan action in the neighbor-
hoods, on the jobs and at the Home
Relief Bureaus in the fight for Jobs
relief and the enactment Of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill CHR. 1899.
The plan Of action adopted at the
conference calls for an intensive
campaign in the coming two weeks
to acquaint the workers with the
relief program of the city, the re-
auctions in relief and on the pro-
jects, and the use of police terror
as a means of forcing this hunger
program on the unemployed. In
carrying on the campaign, local
protest meetings will be organized
in all the neighborhoods, where
members shall be elected to a city
wide delegation which shall call
upon Mayor LaGuardia on Monday,
June Is.
This delegation will demand the
immediate release of all workers
arrested as result of the May
26 demonstration at the Welfare
Department, a clear statement of
the LaGuardia relief program and
an end to the deliberate police
terror against the unemployed.
The conference called upon all
its participating organizations to in
tensify the actions at the Home Re-
lief Bureaus in the struggle for in
creased relief and to proceed with
preparations on the relief projects
for the calling of a city-wide general
strike.
In opening the conference, James
Gaynor, chairman of the United
Action Committee, the delegated

finished, sent two men over to
one side of the field to pray for
rain. 1t was the only thing that
could save them from a worse
beating than they were getting.
THE Daily Worker was at bat when
the rain started coming down.
Mendron, Leitner, Watson and Ar

then Rolfe singled, bringing in
run, which made it two for that
inning. Loud cries thereupon rose

Il buttonholed Gordon and got
something out of him for the pub
lie. He said: l. That the Labor
Sports Union had won moral vic
tory because the Daily Worker staff
team had refused to play soft ball;
and, 2, that the umpire was
crooked.
The first statement needs no
comment. AS for the second, it is
absolutely untrue. The umpire was
perfectly honest. I approached him
at the beginning of the game and
offered him five-spot if he would
call strikes and balls upon the
proper people, but he turned it
down. Let not the Labor Sports
Union, in it's desperate state, try to
damage other peoples regulations.
1t stands naked before the world,
an empty threat.
THE Young Workers A. c., led by
1 the capable Joe Halmos, also did
themselves proud on the field Sat-
urday. They gave an exhibition OF
marching, calisthenics and gymnas-
tics which was a center of attrac-
ton. Young and trim in their uni
forms, they made beautiful show.
Unfortunately the time arrange
ments we're such that they we're url-
able to give a complete perform

Davis was murdered shortly after
an unsuccessful attempt to ambush

FARMERS RETURN
CORNLOAN FUNDS
Officials Expect to Close
Program Soon Without
Financial Loss.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,


The Farm Administration expects to
wind up its corn loan program within
a short time at no financial loss and
with great benefit to the farmers.
Officials said that approximately
$121 100000 had been lent on corn
at the rate of As cents per bushel
to give the farmers necessary funds.
The grain is stored under seal in
cribs on the farms where it was
grown and is available to farmers
for feeding or sale upon payment Of
the loan.
The loans are being repaid at the
rate of $500,000 a day. Officials ex-
pect this to increase heavily shortly.
Originally the money was to be
repaid on August /. An extension
until September recently was
granted. Additional time may be
given as the Government has until
october / to dispose of the corn,
under seal.
officials expressed the opinion the
Farm Administration would not take
over any of the grain. 1t was ex-
planned the farmers now can sell 1t
for about go cents per bushel and
that it undoubtedly would be left on
the farms until disposed of.
Farmers also may pay off the loans
with corn-hog benefit payments or
drought relief loans. In that event
they may feed the grain 10 their own
stock.

NEW YORK, July 2l.-A steadily

the feature of the non-ferrous metals
market in the last week. Advances OF
81 to 81 a ton in lead reflected steady
day-to-day purchases, with buying on
the advance approximately equaling
the smelter ore intake. The demand
was predominately for August ship
ment, with buyers apparently anxious
to stock up against anticipated Fall
requirements.
No change Of consequence occurred

9 cents for Blue Eagle electrolytic.
A generally small consumer demand
was emphasized by reports that oper-

Large Code Budgets Opposed
As Burden on Stores and Public

the association estimated the average
budget for each industry would be
approximately $125 900. This number
multiplied by 262 approved codes and
130 proposed codes brings the total in
codes affecting retailing in stores to
nearly $50 ZOO, 900.
This figure checks with a previous
estimate from another source that
code authority budgets for all of the
809 approved and proposed codes
would reach nearly 100000, 900.
Practically all of the 392 codes af-
affecting stores and store merchandise
are manufacturers codes. Apprecia-
tive of the strength the 1000, 900
budgets will give the code authorities
in these industries, the association
said organized efforts on the part of
retailers and consumers would be
needed to guard against activities
which might impose costly burdens on
retailers and public consumers.
