Texas Slashes
State Relief
Appropriation

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. AFTER a
one-month session, the Texas State
Legislature adjourned here last week
hurTiedly, voting an inadequate ap-
preparation for Winter relief. The
original relief bill called for the ex-
penditure of $950O,OOO, but this was
cut to 100000 by the House of
Representatives. Passage of the bill
in it's final form was delayed I'M
til the session was about to ad-
journ in order to circumvent Or
ganized protest by the jobless.
With approximately 100000 per-
sons in need of relief in Texas, the
sum appropriated will amount to
about 81 per person for the entire
Winter. Even at the present rate
of expenditure, about 100000 a
month is spent for relief, which
barely keeps the unemployed from
starving. The new appropriation
cuts this figure in half, although
restitution and unemployment are
increasing at staggering rate. In
some rural counties practically the
entire population is on the relief
lists due in part to the drought.
The State Board Of Control has
been given supreme control over the
relief program. Moreover, it has
been instructed by the legislature to
take steps leading to the total aboli-
ton of State relief.

SANDERS by Schuyler
Bring Flood of Protests

NEW YORK-The treachery of
George Schuyler, Pittsburgh Courier
columnist, in the case of Angelo
Herndon, has aroused flood of
protest all over the country.
Samuel A. Robinson, of Boston,
Mass, wrote to the Courier demand
ing Schuyler's dismissal.
A framed Negro prisoner in Mar
quette, Mich, wrote to Robinson:
ST have followed the Herndon case
from the beginning = including his
birth and early childhood as told
in the New Masses-and I hold the
highest respect for Mr.. Herndon,
and am convinced that Schuyler's
prediction Chat Herndon will skip
ball Is erroneous. In spite of the
terrible persecution that Mr.. Hern-
don has suffered while he stayed in
the South, he remained true as steel
to his race and noble cause. There
fore, there is no logical reason to
believe that he will let down his
many friends that came to his
rescue during his time of trouble
Schuyler's article was not only
against Mr. Herndon, but against
the Negro race"

Leaders Raise
.Anti-RedDrive
At Rail Farley
Maintenance Heads Use
Steam-ROlIer Against
Militant Proposals

DETROIT, Mich, Oct. 3.-Threat-
ened with a rebellion of rank and
file delegates, President Fljozdel and
his lackeys engineered a big red
scare" in the twenty-fifth regular
international convention of the
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
held recently in the Book-Cadillac
Hotel.
Every rank and file proposal for
militant action, and those lodges
that submitted amendments to the
constitution, were denounced as
"communistic."
Groups of the Railroad Brother
hoods Unity Movement presented a
program of action for better wages
and working conditions. against part
time work, and organizational pro-
posals intended to put the organiza-
ton on fighting basis. These pro-
.posals received serious consideration
from rank and file delegates. Lodges
throughout the country began wiring
their delegates and the convention
for adoption of the program.
An amendment to the constitu-
ton to expel and bar Communists
from membership was voted down,
but was reconsidered and passed on
the appeal of Secretary Milliman,
who begged the delegates to pass
the amendment in order to save his
face, for he had already given a
statement to the capitalist press the
day previous stating that Commu-
nists were ruled out of the Brother
hood.
There was not one Negro delegate
present at the convention, although
there are hundreds of thousands Of
Negro workers employed on the
track gangs and as shop laborers
Having steam-rollered the con-
Vention, the arch-fakers, who re-
ceive high salaries taken from the
meager pay of track workers, in
creased the Grand Lodge dues for
unemployed members to six dollars
per year more than the employed,
and went on record to continue their
past fake campaign for legislation
to secure the six-hour day without
reduction in pay and the wage
cutting arbitration policies that
have already reduced the trackmen
and their families to the point OF
starvation.
The convention lasted only one
week, instead of the three weeks
scheduled, having been cut short
when the rank and file at home
began to pour demands in upon the
Grand Lodge takers.

Moro Castle
Bosses Greed

CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-Dr. Harry F.
Ward, chairman of the American
League Against War and Fascism
commenting on the Daily workers
recent exposure Of the fact that
the steamer Moro Castle carried
arms on her last trip, called it "a
typical example of what is bound to
happen under the present conditions
Of exploitation of American seamen
by American shipping interests" DR.
Ward is at the Second U. S. Con-
gress Against War here.
DR.. Wards full statement follows
"These startling facts are typ
ical example of what is bound to
happen under Ihe present condi-
tions of exploitation OF American
seamen by American shipping in
terests. Unless these conditions Of
exploitation are stopped we are
bound to get more Of this. The
United States government must
also be held directly responsible
because of its policy of Substituting
these shipping interests. 1t is APP
parentIy useless 10 expect this
government partner of these
greedy capitalists-to really pro-
tect the lives Of the workers; it
no longer even protects the lives
of its own kind, as the MORO
Castle disaster proves. The pur-
pose of the fascist terror against
which this Congress is fighting is
to continue such conditions of ex-
pIoitation and terror as these
which the Daily Worker has
exposed and is so competentiy
exposing"

Jobless Fight
Relief Slash
In Ann ArbOr

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. 3.-TWo
hundred and fifty relief workers
met here last week at mass meet
ing called by the Washtenaw County
Unemployment Councils to plan a
figh against the countrywide stop
page of relief work. By the clos
ing down of the relief jobs every
man in the county has been laid
off the projects. This has meant
a 20 to 30 per cent cut in the relief
budgets.
A committee of IA, including Ne
gro and women workers from Ann
Arbor, Ypsilanti, Manchester and
Chelsea, presented relief demands to
the Welfare Commission. These de-
mands call for cash relief and
work; no budget cuts; a 20 per cent
increase in all budgets.
Local officials of the A. F. of L.
met the workers appeal for united
action by stating they would fight
against any action. Rank and file
A. F. of L. workers, answering the
appeal, joined with the unemployed.
The International Hod Carriers
Brotherhood and the Common La
Dor Local 535, both A. F. of L.
unions, have issued an appeal in
common with the Unemployment
Councils for all workers to join in
the fight for increased cash relief.
United action between the unem-
ployed and individual members of
the A. F. of L. last July raised all
relief budgets and hourly wages and
won recognition Of workers Bud

about $50 workers joined the I'm

The call for united front action on
wages and the right to organize, re-
Gently sent by the clearinghouse
Workers Industrial Union to the
clearinghouse section of the indie
pendent Union of All Workers of
Austin, Mimi, has been formally
discussed at a conference at Fari-
bault, MINI.
A delegation from south st. Paul
met with delegates from the various
plants organized in the I.U.A.W.
The committees agreed upon pro-
gram to be taken into each local
union for the membership and to
be acted upon by the union as a
body.
The conference discussion revolved
about wages and the right to organ
ize, two of the burning problems of
the workers in tht packing industry,
and the methods whereby united ac-
ton could be attained.
Inc proposals Tor action, In favor
of the united front, in the call in
cluded the right to organize, strike
and picket against company union
ism; an increase in wages to meet
the increase in prices; a workers
code; unemployment insurance as
outlined in the Workers Unemploy-
nlent Insurance Bill.
These demands met the whole
hearted and enthusiastic support OF
the workers of the Independent
Union and will enable the militant
workers of these unions to carry
through a mass drive to better the
conditions of the workers and tc
draw new masses of workers int
their unions, laying a basis for the
establishment of one solid workers
union in the clearinghouse industry

to reach Albany on Oct. 10.
The hunger marchers, sweeping
on to Albany from all parts Of the
state, will place relief demands be-
fore Governor Lehman, calling for
a special session of both houses Of
the State Legislature and the enact
ment Of the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill and the Small
Home and Property Owners Relief
Bill. The Workers Bill, initiated
and sponsored by the Communist
Party, is the only unemployment in
surance bill which provides benefit
payments to all workers unemployed
through no fault of their own. The
Small Home Owners Relief Bill pro-
vides for a moratorium on fore
closures.
Call On 104 A. F. L. Locals
The Provisional Committee meet
ing in Buffalo issued calls for the
march to 104 locals of the A. F. Of
L., to the Central Trades and Labor
Council and to the City Central
Committee Of the Socialist Party.
A conference held last week, at
which George Brickner. member Of
the Riverside Socialist Party
Branch, was elected permanent
chairman of the committee, showed
that hundreds of marchers will rep
resent the upstate unemployed in
the march to Albany. Forty dele
gates have already been elected BY
/ the workers Of Rochester. Ontario
| and Seneca counties have pledged
to send 20 delegates each on the
march. The East Side local of the
Buffalo Council is preparing to send
IS delegates, the Riverside local S.
jamestown is preparing to send
scores of delegates. Unemployed
marine workers in the Erie County
Lodging House and the Waterfront
Council are massing their forces to
send 80 delegates.
Wide Support Prepared.
Widest possible support is being
modified for the march. Unem-
ployed workers are collecting food
and contributions for financing the
delegates from small business men,
housewives, and at the factory gates.
While the Democratic Party con-
vention was in session here last
week, 300 homeless men marched to
the convention hall to place their
demands before Gov. Lehman, who
evaded their delegates Calling at
the Hotel Statler at which Lehman
was lodged, a committee of the
homeless men demanded that he
act on the workers demands and
also provide food, lodging and trans
portation to the delegates on the
hunger march.

active struggle, the Unemployment
Council carried on. On Monday a
letter was presented to the Al
legheny County Emergency Relief
Board, demanding an impartial in
vestigation Of charges made by
Clairton's Mayor, Ostermayer, that
the Unemployment Council there is
"racketeering" on relief orders by
"extorting" money from local mer-
chants.
The letter repudiated the steel
puppet Ostermayer's ridiculous
charges and requested an investiga-
ton by the Board; an open hearing
of all testimony before representa-
tives Of the Board, the Unemploy-
ment Councils, the press and the
Mayor; and the issuance Of a state
ment to newspapers upon the find
ings Of the hearing. 1t branded
the Mayors attack as "unfounded
and slanderous."
At the City Council meeting
speakers will protest against the
wholesale evictions which deputy
sheriffs and city police are at
tempting to carry out, and against
the fascist terror being launched by
Hill" police which resulted in the
falling of two members of the
Young Communist League for five
days each for requesting q meeting
permit. A mass mobilization OF
workers will attend the Council
hearing.
Bill Doyle, newly elected County
Unemployed Council organizer, will
give the main report, protesting
against evictions, use Of con-
denned houses, and inadequate re-
lief standards.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. 3.-The
Unemployment Councils Of Al
legheny County are answering the
attacks Of the industrialists against
unemployed workers that resulted
Monday in the Imprisonment of
Phil Frankfeld, militant leader Of
the Unemployment Councils, with
an intensified mass protest cam
paign to secure his release and that
Of James Egan and the Ambridge
frame-up victims, all of whom we're
railroaded to prison for their &C
tivities in the forefront Of the class

Monday afternoon the Jail doors

"Inciting to riot" and Constructing

charges.

RESOLUTION ON PROBLEMS
OF YOUTH IN UNIONS

whereas: The various unions of the
American Federation of Labor number,
among others, tens Of thousands of youth;
and
Whereas: At the present time these
youth do not constitute an active, integral
part Of the unions; and
Whereas: This is directly traceable to
the fact that the young people are ex-
cluded from the administrative affairs Of
the unions, from the various meetings and
committee bodies, and actually have no
voice directly or on a representative basis
in the conduct of the activities and or
ganization Of the unions; and
Whereas: No organizational steps have
been taken by any union to achieve the
regular and necessary association of young
people in defense of their interests and
the interests Of organized labor as a
whole;
Therefore be it resolved that this con-
Vention goes on record instructing Its
various unions to carry through the fol-
lowing:
l. Calling of meeting of youth in every
union in the A. F. Of L. directly following
the convention; for the purpose of dis
cussing and acting on the problems OF
the young people.
2. That these meetings be held once a
month and constitute the youth sections
OF the respective unions.
3. That social, sports, and cultural &C.
tivitieS be conducted within the union
with view towards further attracting
and interesting the young people in the
unions.
