by the hostile attitude of the Dutch
authorities against exiled German
workers and Socialists, the Labor
Conference to Combat Hitlerism" has
sent a sharply worded letter to the
Dutch Minister in Washington, JON
keer H. M. van Haersma de With,
protesting against prosecutions and
asking that necessary guarantees be
given to the victims of a regime
which is a constant threat to human
ity, freedom, peace and progress"
The letter protests specifically
against the breaking up of a confer
ence of representatives of young work
ers' organizations at Laren, Holland,
foreign delegates to which were ar
rested and deported. -Four delegates
were sent to Germany although they
were refugees from the Hitler tyran-

arie broke up the first session of the
Conference and arrested the delegates.
Thereafter they d%eported most of the
foreign delegates aeross the Belgian
border.
"Such an action can inspire in the
heart of every worker and every
enemy of reaction only profound re-
sentiment. When, however, the Dutch
Government went so far as to deport
the four German worker delegates to
Germany, it marked itself as the ally
and deputy of the most brutal and re-
dictionary state known to modern
times. The whole world understands
that for a worker to cherish opposi-
ton to the Hitler dictatorship is to
risk prison, concentration camp bru-
talities, even the executioner's axe.
The guilt for the harm that has be-
fallen these four workers lies not only
upon Hitlerism, but also upon the
Dutch Government. Nothing can les
sen this responsibility.
Against this act the undersigned
organization, representing powerful
workers organizations of America,
protests vigorously. We desire that
you transmit this protest to your gov
eminent.
with it we wish to send our de-
mand that your government immed-
lately and publicly guarantee to all
political refugees safe-conduct through
an asylum in Holland. 1t is the duty
of the Dutch government to take the
just resentment of large masses of the
American people into consideration,
and to extend all necessary guaran-
ties to the victims of a regime which
is a constant threat to humanity,
freedom, peace and progress"

STEEL WORKERS WANT A SHOW
DOWN ON UNION RECOGNITION

PITTSBURGH, Pa.--(FP)-Demand
for union recognition from all mem
bers of the American Iron and Steel
Institute, to be followed by a general
strike if refused, is the first point
in a program of united action formu-
lated by progressive forces in the
Amalgamated Assn. of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers. This was indicated by
delegates at the opening of the steel
workers convention in Pittsburgh,
largest since 1880.
Union members are waiting impa-
tiently for action, these delegate re-
port. The longer the bona fide I'M
ions r without recognition, the more
time is given the steel corporations to
build their company unions, delegates
told the convention. A showdown
must be reached within the next
month, if the present wave of union
enthusiasm is not to be dissipated,
according to spokesman from west
ern Pennsylvania, the Mahoning val
ley in Ohio and the Gary district in
Illinois and Indiana.
Progressive leaders believe the
showdown must be reached before the
expiration of the NRA steel code May
81. They hope that a short, vigorous
strike tying up most of the big mills
in the country would force inclusion
of a working agreement in the new
steel code soon to be negotiated in
Washington.
Conservative officials of the Anal
gamated Assn. are understood to be
opposed to the strategy outlined by
the p%rogressives. The union reeog-
nizes only two employers organiza-
tons, the western bar iron and the
western sheet and tinplate associa-
tions. The big corporations are not
members of these two groups, which
enjoy exclusive contract relations with
the union. Mills which desire union
recognition must be members of one
of the two associations.
Progressives won their first test
in the convention when they forced
the seating of delegates from many
newly-organized lodges. The admin
istration sought to bar them for non
payment Of dues. Chaotic conditions
in the steel industry, with hundreds of
%unionists in some mills discharged for
union activity and others working
part time, have prevented prompt pay
ment of the heavy dues demanded by
the union, progressives argued.
Faith in NRA and Washington has
reached the vanishing point in this
convention, among both conservatives
and progressives. Discharge of thou
sands of union men and the contempt
shown the Natl. Labor Board by the
steel corporations, coupled with the
apathy of Washington officials in en-
forcing Section Ia, have revealed the
naked fact that force alone will settle
the issue of unionism in the most
powerful American industry.
A resolution has been presented to
the convention proposing that a dele
cation from the convention go to
Washington to demand a hearing from
the Senate committee on education
and labor to answer the company IN
ionists who testified two weeks ago
that unions are "rackets." The dele
cation would demand passage of the
original Wagner labor disputes bill,
without amendments.
Another resolution proposes indorse-
ment of industrial unionism and ex-

LESS GROCERIES
SOLD THAN A
YEAR AGO

|
gro
ceries were bought in March than in
the same month of last year, the
lowest point of the economic crisis.
This startling fact, c%ontradicting the
paliyhoo about increasing purchasing
power of the masses, vas reported
April II, by Willard L. Thorp, direct
or of the U. S. Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
While the dollar volume of grocery
sales in March, through a selected
sample of chain units, was II 1-2 per
cent higher than a year ago, the index
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
shows retail food prices have i~ncreas-
ed about 20 per cent in the same per-
iod, Thorp said. "These measures
while not precisely comparable are
sufficiently accurate to indicate a
slight reduction in the physical vol
ume Of chain grocery sales over the
12-month period.
"Total dollar sales for the first 8
months of 1884 were 9 per cent high
er than for the corresponding period
of 1888"
of the Nazis and their sympathizers
are beneyolently overlooked. The in
cident at Laren, the recent prison SEN
tence against the German emigrant
writer Heinz Liepmann for alleged
insults to Hindenburg, and many other
instances are cases to the point. Nazis,
on the other hand, are free to indulge
in systematic propaganda. Only re-
Gently were German Nazis permitted
to cross the border in military forma-
tons and visit the Dutch border town
Doebinchen. Nazi meetings and street
parades were held under the protec-
ton and escort of the Dutch police.
Nazidom seems to be convinced that
the Dutch authorities will in no way
interfere with its assumed tutelage
over Germans living abroad. Another
efficient method Of converting Ger
mans abroad into docile instruments
of the Hitler dictatorship is the Win
ter Help and other alleged charity in
stitutions which have been extended
to Holland under the protectorate of
the German ambassador and other
prominent German officials. Under
the of alleged charity the Ger
mar representatives have compiled
extensive lists of Nazis and Nazi SYM
pathizers.
The German Consulates are also in
possession of the names of all Ger
mar residents in Holland who voted
for Hitler on November IL, 1888.
Those who oppose Hitlerism are black
mailed, threatened and often exposed
to denunciations. Petitions and cir
culars emanating from official Ger
man sources bear the signatures of
diplomatic and consular representa-
tives, of the presidents of the co-or-
dinated German societies in Holland,
and last, but by no means least, of
one White, Nazi commissary for Hol-
land, and one Mannhardt, the leader
of the Amsterdam local of the Ger
man Nazi Party. These facts prove
that all German denials of Nazi prop
uganda abroad are deliberately mis-
leading.
