''Prepare Party for Great
Tasks,'' Browder Calls,
Closing C. p. Convention
BIOOr, Veteran Fighter,
Gets OUdtiOn at Convention
Amter and Biedenkapp
Tell of Struggles of
the Workers
BY HARRY CANNES

CLEVELAND, April (By MaiD
Let us go out of here as one
solid phalanx of the army of COM
ing revolution!" That was the con-
Guiding appeal of Mother Bloor,
one of the speakers in the discus
sion on Comrade PROVIDERS report.
The 72-year-old veteran revolution
airy fighter was introduced by the
chairman, Comrade Gebert, district
organizer in Chicago, as the young
est delegate in the convention"
The Afternoon discussion covered a
wide range of Party tasks, with a
longshore delegate in the Party
just three months, discussing the
problems confronting the Eighth
National Convention in the same
fervent and earnest manner as
some of the oldest Party members.
Comrade I. Amter reported for
80 minutes on work among the I'M
employed. Unemployment, in the
specific period of depression out
lined by Comrade Browder, is be-
coming permanent, Annter declared.
Unemployed work has been dis
cussed here very little" he stated.
Relief is being cut, and the misery
of the unemployed is greater. The
Negroes are the worst sufferers.
Roosevelt's program forecasts still
less rGi3f. We have built the only
real national unemployed move
ment, though others may have
built movements i'll various sec
tions of the country"
He dwelt on the shortcomings,
pointing out that while 80 to 10 per
cent of the Party members were
unemployed, only a few actively
participated in unemployed actiy-
ity. We must have strong fractions,
he said, not to dictate, but to lead
and educate. He showed how I'M
employed work can establish shop
activity, stressing, at the same time,
the need of unity of employed and
unemployed. "Our unemployed
councils have compelled state,
county and city governments to
pay out tens of millions in relief,
and to hand out tons of food. We
forced the introduction of the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill into the United
States Congress. This is a great

NEW YORK.-Torture of the

Of the worldwide mass fight which

Auto Workers Win
Strike in Canada;
Get Wage Increase
S shorter Hours Ais o
Won in 2-Day Strike
in Windsor
By F, COLLINS

WINDSOR, Ont, April 8. - On
Wednesday, March %, the workers
of the Auto Speciality Co. Windsor,
Ont, concluded a successful strike.
These workers had suffered ex-
ploitation, typical of the exploita-
ton taking place in all auto plants
at the present time. In an effort
to win better conditions these work
ers organized into the Auto Work
ers' Union and went out on strike.
After maintaining a strong picket
line for two days completely tying
up the planD. the workers found
the boss ready to settle with the
workers and the strike was Won
Increases ranging from 40 per cent
to 80 per cent, a 9-hour day instead
of the IL to 16 hours previously
worked; time and half for over
time; recognition of the shop COM
mittee, were some of the demands
won by the strikers. These workers
now recognize what it means to
have an organization in the shop
that takes care of their living
standards and working conditions.

BREAKING through the Roosevelt NRA

breaking through the Roosevelt NRA
~ strikebreaking set-up at three points
at Detroit, Kenosha and Racine-a
large section of automobile workers are
now blazing the way for a struggle for
union conditions and union recognition of the auto
plants
The vote of the workers of the Seaman Body
Corporation and the Nash Motors Company to re-
ject the plan of Roosevelt's National Automobile
Tribunal, which attempted to stampede the strikers
back to work without securing for them one single
demand, was victory for the auto workers.
AS predicted by the Auto Workers Union, the
Auto Labor Board, composed of Leo Wolman So
called neutral; Richard Byrd, Secretary Of the
United Automobile Workers Union CA. F. of L.
of Pontiac and Nicholas Kelly, official Of the
League for Industrial Democracy and representa-
tive of the auto barons, presented plan whereby
the go cent hourly minimum was reduced to so
cents and recognition of the union was left out
entirely.
OF this open strikebreakng agreement Richard
Byrd, the A. F. of L. leader on the Board said
IF the men in these communities have faith in
the agreements which have been made through
the establishment of new mutual confidence be-
tween labor and employees, they will find the great
est achievement they ever dreamed Of As Presi-
dent Roosevelt said We've got to have faith in
someone So have faith in the integrity of the
Board"
But faith in the Board the Nash and Seaman
Body Workers did not have They saw clearly
that the whole set-up Of the Labor Board is iden-
tical to the Nash company union proposal Of last

" F aith in Roosevelt -
Plea by A. F. L. Man
Fails To Break Strike
Especial to the Daily Worker)

Especial to the Daily Worker)
KENOSHA, Wis, April 8.-Nash
auto workers yesterday noon voted
to reject the strikebreaking propo-
sails put forward by Roosevelt's Ma
tional Automobile Tribunal.
Several hours later workers of the
Seaman Body Corp. plant also voted
20 to IS to carry on the strike for
higher wages. This decic ons of the
Kenosha workers are binding on the
workers of the Nash auto plant at
Racine.
A cursory examination Of the
document containing RooSeyelt's
proposals and purporting to be a
settlement, but which actually is a
frantic effort to deceive the Nash
men into returning to work, reveals
that it is in all respects identical
with the reply made by Nash to the
demands of the strikers some two or
three weeks ago.
At that time Nash offered to
increase the wages OF the Racine
men 10 per cent and adjust wages
in both Milwaukee and Kenosha.
This is what the settlement pro-
vides for. 1t is by no means the
20 per cent flat increase that the
committee was demanding. The
settlement makes no mention Of rec
ignition of the union, and instead
of the 60c an hour minimum de-
manded, provides for SOC mini
mum.
Auto Workers Urged Rejection
The Auto Workers Union issued
1900 leaflets calling upon the strik-
ers to reject this betrayal settlement
at their meeting.
One of the most disgusting fea-
lures of the so-called settlement
was the manner in which Richard
Byrd, secretary Of the United Auto
mobile Workers Union CA. F. of IL
of Pontiac and labor's representa-
tive on the board, attempted to stuff
