Fur Strikers
FOrceRelease
OF 2 Leaders

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 2.
An enthusiastic mass meet
ing of all fur strikers was
held on Friday afternoon.
The strikers expressed the senti-
ment for the continuation Of the
strike to a successful end They
were spurred on to continue with
their fight by the fact that Gold
stein, Of the Joint Council came
to Philadelphia and attempted to
settle up with the bosses for 40
hour week as he did in Buffalo.
The meeting was addressed by j.
Winogradsky, manager of the New
York Fur Workers Industrial Union,
who delivered the message of the
New York Trade Board that all
New York shops are to collect funds
in solidarity with the strikers. He
also brought 5000 contributed as
follows: Furriers, 500; dress, $50;
knitgoods, $25; dressers and dyers,
$25.
After the meeting all the strikers
marched out of the hall led by j.
Winogradsky and 8. Peshkow. Po-
lice attacked the workers and ar
rested Winogradsky and Peshkow
The furriers continued their line of
march led by Gross and Weiss, and
when Winogradsky and Peshkow ar
rived at the police station they
found a large group of furriers, who
succeeded in forcing their release.

Protest Drive Urged
Against Deportation
Here of Anti-Fascist

NEW YORK. Committee for
Protection of Foreign Born has
issue call for an intensified
drive against deportation and for
the right of asylum in the United
States for political refugees from
fascist countries.
No decision has as yet been made
by the Washington Immigration De-
partment in the case of Friedrich
Beyarbach, anti-Nazi, who came to
the United States as a stowaway.
Beyarbach faces a concentration
camp or death if returned to Ger
many.
Fritz Richter, young seaman from
Bremen, and II others who were ar
rested in the San Francisco general
strike, also face deportation to Nazi
Germany. Richter has a German
record as militant worker.
Christ Popoff, who led workers
struggles in Syracuse, N. Y, faces
severe persecution if returned to
Greece.
The Palmisano Bill, passed at the
last session of Congress, grants per-
manent stay in the United States
to Czarist White Guards, but at
tempts to exclude refugees from fas-
cist countries. The widest protest
is urged on the above cases and in
support Of the Bill for Right Of
Asylum proposed by the Committee
for Protection of Foreign Born in
order to force the Labor Depart
ment to recognize the right of asy-
lum in the U. S. for refugees from
fascist countries.

Leaders Of Refornnist Group
Are Exposed in New Atten1pt
To Victin1iSe Harlem Negroes
L. S. n. r., IL. ID. Lead
Fight To Safeguard
Workers Jobs

NEW YORK.-The reformist
leaders of the Negro Clerical ALI
ance (Souffe Movement) were ex-
posed last week as conducting a
vicious campaign to force the dis
charge from Harlem stores of Ne
gro clerks who refuse to pay ex-
tortion money to the Alliance.
Although its only clerk is a Ne
gro, a small Jewish store on Lenox
Avenue, near 129th Street, was
picketed by the Souffeites. While
the pickets were led to believe that
they were fighting for jobs for Ne
groes, the Souffe leaders secretly
approached the management with a
demand for the firing Of the Negro
clerk, who had refused to pay the
81 membership fee" and 81
monthly Dues" demanded by the
Souffe leaders.
Learning of the attempted extor-
ton, the League Of Struggle for
Negro Rights and the International
Labor Defense held a protest meet
ing near the store and thoroughly
exposed the Souffe racket. The
sentiment of the workers at the
meeting was so greatly against the
Souffe leaders that the latter were
forced to withdraw the pickets and
later sent delegation to the I. l..
D. offices with an offer to take part
in the Conference Against Job Dis
elimination, which was held in
Harlem last Sunday. Two Souffe
pickets, indignant at the deception
practiced by their leaders, left the
Negro Clerical Alliance and joined
the Young Liberators, Youth Sec
ton of the L. S. N. R.
AS a result of the victory of the
militant mass struggle around the
Empire Cafeteria, Lenox Avenue
and 125th Street, many Harlem en-
terprises have taken on Negroes as
clerks and countermen in the past
two weeks. 1t is these new employ
ees that the Souffe leaders were at
tempting to victimize.

National Urban League
Misleaders Are Revealed
AS a Jim-Crow Group

NEW YORK. - The reactionary
purpose Of the National Urban
League in launching it's nation
wide" organization of Workers
Councils, has been glaringly re-
vealed at the recent meetings held
for the formation Of the New York
Workers Council.
White workers were present at
the meeting, but James H. Hubert,
of the National Urban League, in
formed them that the Council was
"for Negroes only" Clara Meltzer,
a white worker, and T. Holmes,
vice. president of the Executive
Board of the Needle Trades Union,
protested against this jim-crow
policy. But Totten, Of the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters,
stated he thought iim-crow coun-
ellis were the best thing for Negro
workers.
John T. Clark proposed that
white workers be excluded from
membership. Holmes and Welsh
from the Plumbers Union protested
and the Council finally adopted a
constitution permitting workers of
all races and nationalities to join.
T. Arnold Hill and the other
Urban League misleaders were so
bitterly opposed to this provision
for the unity of Negro and white
workers that they refused to attend
further meetings of the Council
and refused to recognize the de-
cision of the workers themselves.

The use Of relief funds and food

State Emergency Relief Board COM
mittee began an investigation
which is substantiating the charges
of miners that thousands of sacks
Of -four were fed to hogs by the

Testimony of miners and their
wives revealed that Paul Keenan,,
recently deposed relief head of
Greene County, refused to allow
medical aid to a striker who had
been seriously injured by the hoofs
Of company thugs horses. A former
coal operator, the evidence showed
that it is no accident such a man
headed the relief administration in
the coal area--Keenan at one time
during the strike got up a petition
signed by 270 people from other
parts of the state, protesting to the
governor against the granting of
relief to striking miners.
The questioning Of relief officials
brought out the admission that Mr..
Dodge, Of the Buckeye Coal Conf
pany, sat in on important meetings
Of the relief administrators when
concerning the dispensing
Of relief orders to miners was to be
considered.

attempt of the bosses to break the
strike. The use of gangsters and
the threat of arrest have also failed.

West Side are hailing the employees
Of the West 44th st. Home Relief
Bureau in one Of the most unusual
developments in New York relief
history.
The alliance between social work.
ers and those on the relief lists is
a direct result of the brutality
shown by the police toward dele
cations Of the jobless.
A delegation of unemployed, led
by Barney Oster Of the Unemploy-
ment Council, was waiting for
promised hearing at the Relief Bu-
reau Thursday, when Patrolman
Gottlieb, policeman on steady duty
there, entered the Office with other
police and began to slug Oster with
blackjacks. Several Of the employees
protested. Oster, however, was
beaten unconscious and arrested
along WIN SIX others.
The grievance committee of the
local Home Relief Bureau Workers
Association issued leaflet to the
employees registering their protest
and demanding the removal of the
supervisor if she were found re-
sponsible for calling the police.
Saturday morning found the re-
lief administration retaliating with
a petition circulated through Ger
tain stool-pigeon elements, calling
for the discharge Of the courageous
grievance committee. Many Of the
signers of this petition, however,
have already asked to have their
names removed from the document
and have pledged to support the

NEARLY all the girls I talk
y with are bent upon careers.
Occasionally you'll find one who
announces quite frankly she in
tends to marry, if possible, but
this seems to be an admission
which is regarded with suspicion
since only the most fortnight in
oividuals dare to make it.
Now, careers are indeed splen-
did things, once you've got one.
But they always have to be paid
for, too. and the price they exact
is high. First of all, long years of
study and apprenticeship are re-
CURED to make oneself a top
notcher. Next comes the per-
petual effort that must be main
tanned to keep up the pace and
meet competition. Last, you can
be almost sure, if you live long
enough, that you'll be retired to
lonely old age in the end.
Such are the facts. They must
be faced.
doubt whether any career,
successful though it may be, gives
sufficient return for the toll. an
guish and hearts blood a woman
has to spend for it. Well, neither
does marriage, I can hear you say,
and that, too, is largely true.
Marriage also can disappoint
and fail us. Only this much is to
be said about that. If each wom-
an who chose welded life would
put as much effort and thought
into making it a success as she is
forced to use III building even a
mediocre career, the odds on
matrimony could be greatly in
creased.
1 believe we get in this world
just about what We go after. the
thrush his song, the banker his
money-bags. So if your head is
set on becoming a crackerjack ste
nographer, that's what you proba-
bly, will be, and you'll make a
great mistake if you think you can
at the same time qualify as a good
wife and home maker. Husbands
can be picked up on the side.
when it's a career you're sprinting
for, but the man will be sure to
demand extra attention for him

The marriage rate has decreased
mainly because girls have turned
their attention elsewhere. What
they are going to discover, in
deed what many of them already
have discovered, is that a career
