takers were not taken in by the nonsense But they
nevertheless hail this saving of the jobs" as VIC
tory. The other big gain" is that the company
agrees to send a letter to each worker informing
him that there is no objection to employees joining
any union desired But the least attempt to or
ganize will be interpreted "coercing the workers"
The company will use its Judgment on that and
fire whomever it peases. The workers are ham
strung since according to one of the points, IF
any difference arises under any of the above clauses
there shall be no strike or lockout but such diff
ferences must be submitted to an arbitrator mutual
ly agreed upon By this time few workers be-
lieve they have a chance with arbitrators.
There is therefore little to be wondered that
the A. and P. case was given such wide publicity
in the capitalist press. 1t prelude to the open
shop sweep. The A. F. of L. labor officials instead
Of realizing the basic Importance in fighting the
case to the very limit, to spread the strike, and
arousing the whole labor movement behind the
Cleveland workers confined their role to crawling
on their knees before the bosses.
The employers quite correctly hail the decision
as their victory and claim that it at last places
correct Interpretation on Section Ia of the MIRA
They are now set for more openly using the NR.A
for what it was designed to be "a club to beat
down the living standards of the workers and force
company unions upon them. This was the conse-
quence of such policy in the steel mining, textile
and automobile industry
But developments, especially in the textile in
dustry indicate quite clearly that the workers learn
from their experience with these sen-outs They
in most cases forcing strikes over the heads
of their officials.
The movement for restrikes in the textile fields
is the best example to show that the workers, by
their militant struggles will make these agreements
between the union officials, MIRA boards and en-
ployerS mere scraps of paper.

British Vote
Shows Rise
OfDiscontent

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The sweeping
gains made by the Labor Party
candidates in the British municipal
elections is regarded here chiefly as
evidence of the rising discomfort
Of the masses with the policies of
the National government, in which
the Labor Party ex-leader, Ram
say Macdonald is the outstanding
figure.
The Labor Party won total of
740 candidates, though full election
returns are not in, and the elections
in Scotland take place on Noyem-
Der 7. This gives the Labor Party
500 more municipal council and
county borough seats than it pre-
viously held. The Conservative
Party lost 500 seats, though the
Labor Party also made gains in
votes at the expense of the Liberal
Party.
None of the Communist candi-
! dates were elected. The Communist
Party had made proposal to sup
port Independent Labor Party and
Labor Party candidates in the cleo
tons, to speed the united front
against war and fascism, provided
that the candidates would pledge
themselves to fight on daily issues
against the developments towards
war and fascism.

A e P Victory>>>But
for Whom?

HOW much of victory" for labor there
His in the A and P. decision, as the A. F.
of l.. officials now claim, can be judged by
the fact that its terms now form the basis
for plan by the National Association of
Manufacturers for a nation wide union smashing
drive.
Openly Boosting that the A and P decision
recognizes officially the necessity for preventing CO.
ercion the part of unions against employees who
desire to work. the six-pont program includes that:
sympathetic strikes be made Illegal to make illegal
the suspension, filming punishment otherwise of
any worker who refuses to participate in a strike
termed Illegal make illegal picketing if it is
ried on in such a manner to intimidate M
poyes" ilegalize contracts with unions which re-
quire joining organization
The officials of the seven A. F. of L. unions in
volved in the steps taken to unionize the A. and P
stores, in accepting the terms of the Labor Boards
have thereby joined to inflict serious blow upon
the whole trade union movement. The workers are
ordered to return to work with absolutely nothing
The point providing for the reopening of the
300 stores is huge joke. No thinking worker fell
for this ruse of the company Certainly the labor

employers tried bulldozing methods
You can't buck the government
and continue striking" said one
prominent member of the board
Among the reasons given for not
recognizing the union with a 100
per cent union shop, was that the
union was too young" Another
was that there was a majority OF
Italians who may show their
power within the organization too
fagrantly." All this only provided
amusement for the workers.
Baldanzi also reported that many
employers are willing to settle with
the union, but are threatened by
Vlanderen, head of the Dyers' In
stitute that their credit will be
withdrawn and still unpaid for ma
chinery would be foreclosed.
Open Shop Attempt
1t is now becoming apparent that
the employers want to break the
union by starving the workers into
submission, and many are raising
the question of a proper relief ar
rangement. Many workers are al

relief committee which will face the

Party Life
Negro Worker Tells How He
Joined Party

| am young Negro who works on
a hydraulic press in a jewelry
factory, and am first feeling the
exploitation Of a boss. In 1929 at
the beginning of the world crisis
was working and making a fair
salary. I put my heart and soul in
carrying out my task as a worker.
Finally in 1881 my boss, who lost
money il the Wall Street crash, be-
gan to slash salaries Of the workers
in my shop. When he finally ap-
preached me, tears were in the
takers eyes Said he, Ray, you
understand the conditions as they
are today. I must cut your salary
four dollars" Fully realizing that
he was taking advantage of me, but
knowing the struggle of getting
another job, I humbly submitted.
The turning point for me against
the capitalist suppression of the
working class was when I began

by the International Labor Defense
and all other sympathetic organi-
cations, for the freedom of the nine
Scottsboro Boys, and since I was
fully acquainted with the discrimi-
nation of the Negro masses in the
South, I wanted to join such an or
ganization. I found out where they
we're holding a mass meeting and
was SO taken up by the speakers at
this meeting and the comradely
spirit shown towards me. Why, I
felt right at home. I asked for an
application card and took it home
and filled it out
I have been member OF the I. L.
D. now for about one year, and I
have developed myself politically
(by studying, reading, etc. and
now I am also a member of the
Communist Party and I will carry
on as leader of the working
class and will fight for the programs
of these organizations.
