Relief Called
In Detroit
City-Wide Congress Will
Outline Fight for Real
Social Insurance

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 21.-Calls
addressed to all trade unions and
mass organizations for a city-wide
conference on unemployment in
sursnce and relief have been issued
by the Detroit A. F. of L. Rank and
File Committee for Unemployment
Insurance and Relief. The confer
ence will be held Sunday, Nov. II, at
IL am, at the Danish Temple, IT'S
West Forest Avenue.
While the need for relief con-
tinues to soar following new mass
layoffs in the auto plants, the
Wayne County Welfare Commission
has again cut direct relief and the
hours on the work relief projects.
On Friday, Oct. 10, another five
per cent cut was ordered in relief
and again the hours on work prof.
ects we're slashed.
The city-wide conference, TO
which each trade union and work
ers' organization is urged to send
three delegates, will set forth a plan
of action in the fight for adequate
relief to all unemployed workers
and for the enactment of the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill.

Provision of Escort

der pressure from labor and liberal
groups, the government was forced
to provide Stanley Hancock with a
U. s. Marshal as an escort, when
he was released from the Imperial
Valley Jail Oct. 10. Hancock, mill
tant leader of the Cannery and
Agricultural workers Industrial
Union, just finished serving a 6
months sentence for participating in
the strike of the pea and lettuce
workers in Imperial Valley, last
Spring.
Vigilantes had visited him in
Jail and threatened that he would
never reach San Diego alive. The
International Labor Defense, The
American Civil Liberties Union,
The Trade Union Unity League and
other organizations wired protests
demanding that Hancock be given
an escort and adequate protection
from the lynch threats of the vigil
lantes.
This is believed to be the first
time that the government was
forced to provide protection to a
class-struggle prisoner because of
the mass pressure of labor organi-
cations.

The Office of the Secretary of
State gave out the filing date in
the Nebraska press as October 9th
and confirmed this date directly to
the committee of the United Front
Campaign. Two days after the
time was passed and all petitions
in, the attorney general reversed the
decision, saying that the last day
of filing was the sixth. This ruling
excluded candidates who had been
entered by the Workers and FARM
erS Campaign.
The committee appeared at the
secretary of states Office and vigor-
ously protested against this arbi-
trary ruling. Tolin, on whose direct
word to the committee the petitions
had been held up till the eighth,
who had ordered the master ballots
printed and who had then ordered
the change, said that he was sorry"
but he had to act on the attorney
generals ruling. The committee
pointed out that this ruling, which
was made after it was too late for
the candidates to act on it and pro-
tect themselves, was discriminatory
against the workers and farmers.
The committee is preparing to
take out a write of mandamus to

BrutalIy Beaten
In Gastonia, Fred McMahan and
Otha McMahan have been bound
over for trial next week at a pre-
liminary hearing. Both have been
held in the Gastonia Jail for two
and half weeks, after being bru-
tally beaten with blackiacks and
iron weights at the Loray Mill gate
Oct. l. According to newspaper ac-
counts their bond has also been
raised from $500 each to $1,000
each.
The MacMahan brothers had been
active members of the union and
had showed considerable militancy
on the picket line during the strike.
They were among many blacklisted
after the German betrayal. On
Oct. i, by direction of the U. T. w,
they went to the Loray mill to ask
for return of their jobs. Before
reaching the gate they we're at
tackled with blackjacks and iron
weights by about dozen members
of the BLACK hundred" gang while
fifty or more others looked on. Both
were very badly injured. Because
Fred made an effort to defend him
self they were both arrested, while
no charges were made against the
gangsters.
The BLACK hundred" was or
ganized in the Gastonia strike of
1929. Among those attacking the
McMahan boys we're some of the
leaders in the murder of Ella Mae
Virgins in the 1929 strike.

during the time the plant was
closed and the car of the only boss
who tried to enter the mill was
literally thrown away from the gate
by the pickets.
The return to work, however,
was ordered by the negotiations
committee and no vote of the mem
bership was taken.
Back at work, the wage scale was
completed and presented to the
company for approval. It called
for 30 per cent increase in wages.
The company took the agreement

to give decision, the union setting

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 21.-
Long chain gang sentences and de-
portation of textile workers from
their home state are being used by
the courts in Concord and Gastonia
against those most active in the re-
cent strike. The courts not only
are protecting the gangsters used
workers in the strike, but are also
workers in the strike but are also
railroading their victims who were
beaten up to long prison sentences.
At Concord seven of the most
militant strikers were sentenced by
Judge A. M. Stack this week to the
roads" the sentences ranging from
four months to two years. The
sentences, except in the case of
Steve Murray, we're suspended
but with the condition that they
will be sent to the roads" if they
violate any state law during the
next five years" This is intended
to use as club over the heads of
the workers in an effort to prevent
them from participating in any
struggles for better conditions.
Exiled From Home
The judge actually exiled Steve
Murray from his home state by
sentencing him to two years on the
roads, this sentence to begin Oct.
u if he is found anywhere in the
state of North Carolina. In the
meantime he is released, with little
more than week in which to leave.
If he is ever found in the state he
will be sent to the roads" imme-
diately.
The sentences of the others are
Jack Ballard, militant 22-year-old
striker, IL months; Clarence Coley,
six months; Arthur Fortner, w. H.
Combs, Robbie Dixon and Leonard
Hopkins, four months each. The
charges against the strikers were in
effect that they had been militant
on the picket line, refusing to let
scabs enter the mills, and that they

The Steel Board ordered an cleo
ton. Officials of the company
then agreed to concede the Anal
gamated the ma jority of the en-
ployes and asked that the election
order be rescinded as unnecessary.
On the plea of the union the order
was cancelled, but it must be
noted that in verbally agreeing
to bargain collectively with the
"A, the company reserved the
right to deal with minority groups"
among the employees.
Company officials then met with
an elected committee of six from
the "A. lodge, but gave no official
sign of recognition to the union
and no agreement was signed.
1t was tentatively agreed that the
union would draw up wage scale
agreement and presenl it to the
company fer approval. In the
meanwhile, about four weeks ago,
the company suddenly announced
that an extra man would be placed
on each roll crew, whose wages
were to be paid by a pro rata re-
duction in the pay of each crew
member.
Strike Wins
The lodge walked out, and after
three-day strike returned to work
when the company agreed to drop
the wage-cut. Mass picket lines
were established by the workers

Toledo Mechanics Say
They Will Not Accept

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 2l.-Charles

the Mechanics Educational Society,
for 7 hour day, so cent an hour

for production workers.
He admitted that the average
hourly wage in his plant was only
As cents an hour. But he main

ually he could raise wages.
Dana's plea for the workers to
accept wage cut was rejected by
their committee.
The workers are therefore insist
ing on their original demands, and
refuse to be tricked into accepting
any wagecuts.
