St. Lawrence Bill

WASHINGTON, D. c., March IS.
Indication that the iron-clad rule
Of the Roosevelt administration in
the House and Senate is beginning
to crack was given yesterday by the
open rebellion Of large Democratic
bloc in the House against the Roose-
velt-sponsored Independent Ofices
Appropriation Bill and the st. Law
renee Waterway Bill.
The House and the Senate have
written about $780, 100000 back into
the appropriations bills giving the
veterans and Federal employees
some advances in benefits and pay,
as the Congressman no longer can
ignore the resentment at the con-
sistent reductions in appropriations
for the vets and employees while
the banks and railroads continue to
get millions in subsidies.
Democratic Party leaders are busy
trying to patch matters up between
the disobedient Congressman who
are no longer willing to risk their
elections to carry through the
Presidents economy" program and
Roosevelt.

Minneapolis Farm Labor Party
mdOrSeS Social Insurance Bill

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, March a.
The Hennepin County Farmer
Labor convention, which met March
18th, endorsed the Workers Unem-
ployment Insurance Bill No. 1898 as
introduced in the United States
Congress. The convention instructed
its state and national representa-
tives to support the bill.
The only dissenting voice was a
telegram from William Green, pres
ident Of the A. F. of L., urging the
convention not to support the bill
as it would be unconstitutional"
The effect OF nationwide mass
pressure for the enactment of this
bill was evident. The Farmer
Laborites are not going to do more
than mass pressure forces them to
do. They exposed themselves as
merely trying to curry favor among
the working class. The % planks
in the platform as accepted and
which will be proposed to the state
convention represent complete sup
port of the present system favored
with demagogy designed to get
mass support.
One plank proposed state unem-
ployment, accident, sickness and
health insurance bill. However,
there was no provision given re-
garding the financing and admins
tration ! such a bill and no men
ton Of the Farmer-Labor Party
Governor Olson's fake "unemploy-
ment insurance" bill. Another
plank called for the enactment of a
State Recovery Act to solve the
economic crisis"
Five new clubs from rural Hen
nepin County were represented.
There were 327 delegates and IA
ssiittsrnates. An outstanding feature
of the convention was the smooth
purring Of the well oiled machinery.

LONDON, March 15.-The Roose-
welt government never had any
intention of taking part in actual
disarmament, Sir John Simon
Foreign Secretary, declared in the
House Of Commons last night, in g
debate in which all speakers
stressed that Great Britain must
arm to the teeth.
Simon's statement was in answer
to Labor Party members declara-
ton that the British government
had interfered with international
disarmament plans.
Capt. Anthony Eden, Simon S
representative on a war-talk tour
of Europe, declared the breakdown
of the disarmament" conference
meant that 1--WE, like the rest, will
have to review our ornaments and

Negroes Are Again
Refused Service in
House Restaurant
Congress Dining Room
Continues Its Vicious
Jim-Crow Policy

WASHINGTON, D. c., March Is.
Negroes were again refused SER
vice in the House of Representa-
tives restaurant yesterday when a
party Of two Negroes and three
whites were told they could not eat
in the dining room operated and
controlled by the House.
The party included Rev. John F.
Wnitef1eld. pastor of the Christian
Church; L. G. Farrar, secretary of
the National Forum Association,
and three whites. Mrs. Charles Ed
ward Russell of the N.A.A.C.P., Har-
Ian e. Glazier, local Socialist, and
Robert Shostick of the Citizens
party. The three whites had entered
the dining room first, and were
later Joined at table by the two
Negroes. AS soon as the Negroes
were seated, D. H. Johnson, mana
ger of the restaurant, went over to
the table and told them they would
not be served as he had orders
from the House Committee not to
serve Negroes.
Several weeks ago, the Secretary
of Congressman Oscar De Priest,
Negro millionaire Congressman, was
similarly Disseminated against.
With the eyes Of the Negro and
white workers on him, De Priest
was forced to protest the discrimin-
alton, but entered into an agree
ment with Speaker Rainey of the
House not to push the question on
the floor Of Congress. Lately, De
Priest has indicated he will use the
issue in the attempt to get himself
reelected with the fake promise to
push the fight" in some problem
atical future.
Negroes were also excluded and
even forcibly expelled from the
Senate restaurant during the hear
ing on the Costigan- Wagner imi-
tation anti-lyching bill. Mrs. Mabel
Byrd, one of those thrown out of
the Senate restaurant, is still suf-
fering with nervous trouble as a
result Of her experience with the
government thugs who nlanhandled
her.

Strike Talk
S urges At
AutOHearing
AL. Head and Auto
Boss Agree on Fight
Against Strike
BY SEYMOUR WALDMAN
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau


WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
second and final days hearings be-
fore the National Labor Board,
called by the Roosevelt Administra-
ton to head off the imminent strike
in the automobile industry, was held
today in an atmosphere that was
filled with strike sentiment and
strike murmurs.
1t was clearly evident that the
Labor Board stood revealed before
many disguised and disillusioned
auto worker delegates as an open
strikebreaking body operating as the
agent Of the hard-faced and relent-
less employers. Thus, even the
faintest mention of the word strike
was applauded by the workers.
Many workers openly talked strike
while William Collins, the chief A.
F. of L. leader in the automobile
industry crawled at the feet of the
brutal owners, disclaiming any res
possibility for the strike he knows
is in the off1ng. Clay Williams, head
of the slave-driving Reynolds To-
bacco Company and Chairman at
today's Labor Board session, ended
the hearings without promising any
definite time for rendering a deci-
sion.
Duet Against Strikes
J. P. Morgan's automobile spokes-
man representing the powerful and
czaristic General Motors Corpora
ton, and Collins, the A. F. of L.
national representative, played a
duet, the main theme Of which was
to prevent the strike.

president of General Motors, based

which was signed by William Green,

He was told that he would have to
