Third Of Net0 Sub

NEARLY 1900 new subscribers have

fact that expirations and csncells-
tions have been greater than the

For example, Philadelphia secured

it is charged against Philadelphia S

Only four Districts, /, 2, and

mark in their sub quota standings.
Thirteen Districts have less than
rs per cent of their sub quotas.
While Red Builders, carriers and

Unemployed Councils
of Richmond Expel
Deserter from Ranks

RICHMOND, Va, July 20. - The
Richmond Unemployment Council,
at its meeting on July 20, expelled
Thomas H. Stone as a deserter and
traitor to the workers unemploy-
ment movement.
On June 10, Stone sent in his res
ignation to the Council, and on
June IA an article appeared in the
Richmond News Leader stating
that: City Red Leader Changes
His Views" pointing out that Stone
hoped to be admitted to the bar"
The same paper which formerly at
tackled Stone as a leader of the
unemployed" now praised him, hop
ing that che would make a good
lawyer"
Once before Stone left the I'm
employment Councils in an attempt
to get job as preacher. He
came back admitting his mistake,
stating that he would never again
leavg the workers movement.
The Unemployment Council of
Richmond feels that it cannot but
gain by Kidding itself of weaklings
of the Stone type, and warns all
organizations to bar him as one who
will join workers groups solely to
forward his own career.

NEW YORK.-Member of Loca,
$40 of the Laundry Drivers Union,
meeting in the Brownsville Labor
Lyceum, Sackman st. near Liberty
Ave, overwhelmingly OVERRIDE a
proposal of the union leadership to
accept temporary wage and COM
mission reduction and forced the
resignation of Morris S. Schechter,
president of the union.
Surrounded by a heavy detach-
ment of police, obviously on the
scene to intimidate the drivers into
accepting the wage-cut scheme,
Schechter arose and proposed that
the union accept a modification of
existing contracts with the union
laundries as an inducement to get
contracts with 81 non-union laun-
dries.
The question was voted on and
Mr.. Schechter and the laundry
bosses lost. Immediately after the
voting Schechter resigned his posi-
ton as president of the local.
1t was learned that the bosses
scheme was proposed to the union
leaders by Attorney Bauman of the
Laurence Detective Agency, a strike
breaking organization.
Demands are being raised by the
membership for the resignation Of
the entire executive board and fol
the immediate election of a rank
and file leadership to save the
union.
Due to the corrupt practices Of
the union leadership the union is
now $4,000 in arrears The Joint
Council of the International Team
sters, Chauffeurs and Helpers
Union affiliated with the A. F. L.
is holding up books and is refusing
to issue stamps to the local because
the workers refuse to take their
orders.

BY NAT GANLEY

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 1.-The
strike of over 300 workers in IL saul
sage factories, which started on July
Is, ended on July 81 with big vic
tory for the workers. The men and
women in these factories won wage
increases of from 10 per cent in the
higher paying factories to 80 per
cent in the lower paying factories.
In each case we won a bigger in
crease for the women than for the
men, because they were getting less
to start with.
The other demands won are:
Equal pay for equal work; maxi
mum 4S-hour week; time and a
half for overtime over 48 hours; no
split shifts and recognition of the
shop committees and the United
Sausage Workers Union. This local
is affiliated with the Food Workers
Industrial Union nationally and
with the Trade Union Unity Coun-
Gil of Wayne County locally. One
factory signed the agreement in
order to avoid a strike, making q
total of 10 signed up agreements to
date.
Well Prepared
The strike was well prepared
through a united action conference
on July IA. The 13 shops that we're
present set up conference COM
mittee of 30, which was empowered
to negotiate with the Michigan
Sausage Manufacturers Association
and to set a strike date and issue
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-08-03
300 Detroit Sausage Men
Win Strike for Wage Raise

a strike call if we were turned down.
The solid united front of the
workers broke the backbone of the
manufacturers association. After
the first rift in their ranks on
Thursday there was a stampede to
sign the agreement.
The throwing of a picket line
around Armour 81 Co. resulted in a
committee of workers going into
the office and winning the promise
of raise to equal the raises won in
the other sausage factories. A sim
liar promise was won in the Hy-
grade Packing Co.
Spreading the Victory
Under the slogan: Sausage
Workers Strike Is Victorious! All
other sausage and meat plant
workers can now win improved
conditions" the struggle is being
spread to the other plants, particu-
larly the ones controlled by the
big packers. The strikes in Chicago
and New York are distinct helr
to the workers in winning their own
battles.
The A. F. of L. is completely iso-
lated in the Detroit sausage field
They have some organization in the
slaughter houses and among the
butchers. The problem now is to
build up an unbreakable united
front with these A. F. of L. workers

izer of the United Sausage Workers

Urge Protest
On failing of
CubanLeader
OrdOqui Faces Death
At Hand of A.B.C.
TerrOrists

NEW YORK Following the news
that Joaquin Ordoqui, Secretary
General of the Confederation Ma
cional Obrera of Cuba, is held in
Jail without bail in Havana, at the
mercy of the Vendetta government
and the A. B. C. terrorists who have
sworn to murder him, and who have
been looking for him for this pur-
pose for the last month, the Inter
national Labor Defense and the
Trade Union Unity League issued
an urgent call today for protests to
Cuban officials demanding his
safety and release.
Ordoqui is charged with having
melted the attacks" on the A. B. G.
demonstration on June IT, in which
a number were killed.
Ordoqui is one of the outstand-
ing leaders of the struggle against
American imperialism and it's fas-
cist lynch agents in Cuba.
Gables, kilograms and protests by
every revolutionary organization, to
President Vendetta and Colonel
Fulgencio Batista, chief of the Gu
ban terrorist army, at Havana, to
Secretary of State Hull at Wash
lngton, and these same protest &C
tons with protest delegations in
addition, to every Cuban Consulate
in America, and to the Cuban Am
bassador at Washington, were called
for by the LID. and the T.U.UL.
Intensified response to the appeal
of these organizations, published in
the Daily Worker of July II, for
funds to assist the defense struggles
In Cuba, and for help to the thou
sands of class war prisoners in
Cuba, many of whom were ON hun
ger strikes and are now in urgent
need of medical attention, was
urged in the appeal.
These funds should be sent to the
Daily Worker for transmission to
the imprisoned Cuban comrades.

Plan Detroit
Relief Strike
Action Today

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. Prep
arationS for countrywide strike
against relief cuts will be discussed
at a conference of relief workers
tonight at o'clock, at the Danish
Brotherhood Temple, ITS West
Forest Ave. The conference has
been called by the Relief Workers
Protective Association, which has
been leading the struggle for
higher wages and better conditions
on C.E.R.A. projects.
Under the gulse OF increases, +"
thousands of workers, both on
government relief work and on
direct relief, were handed a relief
slash on Aug. l, while a small
number with large families got
slight increases. The new minimum
is supposed to be $3.50 a week, but
workers report to the Relief Work
ers Protective Association that
they get as little as $4.
Workers on the relief projects
are called upon to elect delegates
and to attend the conference.

Detroit LOvestonite
Bars Mass Picketing

DETROTT.-"Don't picket" This
is the slogan of Red" Miller,
leader of the local handful of
Lovestoneite renegades from Com
munism, in the strike of about
fifty workers of the National Laun-
dry, 555 FarnSworth ST., which
started Monday. Miller is an of
fetal of the A. F. of L. Laundry
Drivers Union which is leading the
strike.
Instead of picketing, the workers,
at the instruction of Miller, are
standing or sitting in front of the
building next door to the laundry.
The strike started over the re-
fusal Of the company to raise the
wages of the women workers who
were getting eighteen cents an hour
for 38hour week, which means a
weekly wage Of 1884. The women
are demanding twenty-five cents an
hour. Demands have also been
made for increases for washers to
fifty cents an hour and for wringers
to forty cents.

on Sunday, Aug. 10, at 2 pm.
The militancy and organization of
the unemployed in the face of ter
ror has forced the Cuyahoga
County Relief Association to in
crease food and clothing relief from
S24J50 per family in July to SGT in
August, and to institute cash relief
instead Of the present grocery
orders.
This relief increase shows the
correctness Of the policy of mass
action carried forward by the IN
employment Councils. The united
front conference will weld together
all possible organizations for a fight
for the immediate needs of the
unemployed-for the Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill, for q
30-hour week On all relief jobs at
trade union wages or equal cash
relief, for cash payment Of rents,
and against discrimination toward
Negro and foreign-born workers.
Already the city central commit
tee of the Small Home and Land
Owners Federation and the District
Board of the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union have endorsed
the call and pledged support to the
conference.
