Negro Workers!
Out Into theStreetS
On May the First!
{Continaed from Page u


even necessary to make any pre-
tense where they are concerned, as
was shown in the first code signed
by Roosevelt-the textile code.
The textile code deliberately ex-
cludes the $4,000 Negroes employed
in this industry from the miserable
minimum wage provided for textile
workers.
The Negro masses are beginning
to fight back with increasing de-
termination and militancy. This
determination and will to struggle
on the part of the Negro toiler have
been shown in many unemployed
actions in Harlem, in the many ex-
cellent Scottsboro demonstrations
etc.
Negro Misleaders Fight Unity of
TOilers
To stem the militancy Of the Ne
gro masses, the white ruling class
is increasing it's vicious attacks
against the Negro toilers by lynch
ing, persecution and terror. They are
bringing forward, as never before
their Uncle Tom Negro misleaderS
of the type OF William Pickens
Walter White, and DR.. Dubois who
is calling upon the Negroes to
voluntarily segregate themselves
While Kelly Miller is trying to split
the growing unity between the Ne
gro and white workers by telling
them that lin every issue between
capital and labor the Negroes bread
has been buttered on the side Of
capital" Kelly Miller knows this
is lying statement, that it is only
the bread of the Negro tools OF
capital which is buttered by capt.
tai. He knows that the capitalists
are responsible for the low wages,
for the thousands of evictions in
New York City of unemployed Ne
gro workers, for the segregation OF
Negroes, for discrimination on the
job, for the lynching of scores in
the United States each year, for
the frame up of the nine Scots
boro boys, etc, etc.
Kelly Miller is calling upon the
Negro workers to become strike
breakers; he is asking us to help
the capitalist class in their drive
against the living standards of the
whole working class; he is asking
us to be quiet while the boss or
gained lynch gangs strike at us
Kelly Miller, very we'll knows that
only through the unity of the Ne
gro and white workers under revo-
lutionary leadership will conditions
for the Negro masses be raised to
higher level.
On May First thousands of Ne
gro workers must join hands with
their white fellow workers in mill
tant demonstration on the streets
of New York; against lynching
segregation, jim crowism, low wages
evictions, and the right to organize
into trade unions of their own
choice, on the basis of complete
equality with all other workers. The
Negro workers must demonstrate
against the starvation New Deal
of the Roosevelt government, against
imperislist war and fascism, and
for the defense Of the Workers
Fatherland, the Soviet Union

Shikebreaker Sherwood Lies on Witness Stand To
Defend His Crony, George Williams

NEW YORK. = Max Sherwood,
strikebreaker, purveyor of forgeries
and general skin-flint, has now
been caught red-handed in the act
of perjury Acting as a witness for
his co-worker, George Williams, in
the hearing which began in the
Jefferson Market Court Tuesday on
the libel charges brought against
Harry Raymond, staff writer of the
Daily Worker, Sherwood just lied
and lied. The hearing was con-
tinued until today at p. m.
On several occasions the whole
court was thrown into fits of
laughter as Sherwood squirmed on
the witness stand and blurted out
obvious periuries in an attempt to
defend the strikebreaking record of
the scoundrel williams.
When technical question was
raised as to whether Williams could.
offer concrete evidence that Ray
mond wrote an article libeling Will
liams, Max Sherwood took the wit
ness stand to offer the proof"
Then the whole Shiny nature of
the Sherwood scab-herding crowd
was further Illuminated.
Did Harry Raymond write an
article about Mr.. Williams which
was published in the Daily Worker
on March 21?" asked Edward Kuntz,
International Labor Defense at
torney
Yes said the strikebreaker.
How do you know"
Sherwood went into a long story

ing, 1--WE Want Wages" as their
committee presented the workers

Beatzell, relief head, passed the
buck on the workers demands by
saying that he was told what to do
by the higher ups"
On Monday night the committee
presented the workers demands to
the City Council which refused to
act on the workers demands.
The Communist Party Of the
Rochester Section, in leaflets issued
to all the strikers, urged the rank
and file workers to continue the
strike and refuse to accept "srbitra-
ton" and truce" plans to send
them back to work pending 'fu-
ture" settlement. The call Of the
Communist Party urged the work
ers to maintain mass picket lines,
and demand that the Mayor and
the City Council act at once on the
workers demands.

Socialists Still
Work To Betray
Camden Strikes
Rank and File March to
City Hall; Demand
Right to Picket

CAMDEN, N. j., April 25.-The
three thousand New York Ship
Building Company strikers are still
marking time. while their commit
tee is in Washington waiting to see
Roosevelt. Clinton Bardo, president
Of the company announced he had
broken off all negotiations with
union representatives because they
had insisted on the closed shop He
was willing, he said, to sign an
agreement with his employees as
such, but not with any one union.
John Green, Socialist acting presi-
dent of the Industrial Marine and
Ship Workers Union, characterizes
the unions demands not as for a
closed shop but a preferential
shop"
Follows S, P. Tactics
Green is very popular with the
strikers. He has demonstrated his
sincerity several times, by denounc-
ing the pusSyfooting tactics of the
Socialist Party leadership, especially
Thomas, Reeve, and others, calling
himself a left socialist" and lead
ing the men to refuse all arbitra-
ton wage questions. Nevertheless
he is ready to follow Socialist tactics
in other matters, and has failed to
publicly disapproye the sending of
a committee of strikers to waste
time in Washington, after the
strikers had several times rejected
all arbitration, and partial conces-
sions made by Bardo in regard to
wages.
CAMDEN, N j., April 25-Dem-
onstrating their dissatisfaction with
the Socialist leadership, three hun
dred Campbell Soup Company strik-
ers, marched in body to City
Hall Plaza and unanimously
approved a proposal for mass pick
citing which would guard every en-
trance to the plant Earlier in the
day, police had attempted to drive
the pickets away from the mill,
after they prevented several scabs
from entering through the main
gate. Led by a Negro striker and a
woman, the strikers resisted. They
were attacked by the police, and
four we're arrested. AS the police
tried to shove all pickets to point
a half block from the plant, one
cop got an eyeful of pepper.
Demand Withdrawal of Cops
At the mass meeting a committee
of twenty was elected to call on
Mayor Stewart to demand that he
withdraw all police from strike
breaking duty. He kept the COM
mittee waiting for a long time, and
when they finally forced him to see
them, he refused to remove police
from the plant.
This morning three hundred
pickets were persuaded" to leave
the plant. Manning, the Socialist
organizer of the Industrial Can
ners Union, leading the strike,
undoubtedly had a hand in this, for
Immediately after the picketing was
broken up without resistance from
the strikers, it was announced that
Manning would represent the union
at further hearing.

Men Forced To Go Back

GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y, April Is.
Three thousand glove workers here
were callously betrayed today when
A. F. of L. union leaders settled
their strike for a 10 per cent wage
increase in opposition to the q
to IS per cent wage increases which
the workers demanded.
The workers rejected the arbitra-
ton, but were terrorized into ac-
cepting when union leaders threat
ened to order the rest of the work.
ers back to the shop without them.
The workers, who went on strike
several weeks ago, demanded the
n to IS per cent wage increase as
q return of the wage slash instituted
by the N.R.A. through a wholesale
cut in working hours.
In addition. the A. F. of L. leaders
arbitrated with the bosses for the
new wage schedule to be effective
only six months, thus exposing the
workers to another cut as soon as
the season is over.

Build Union
In Rockford
Metal Plant
Bosses of DropfOrging
Organize a Fake
Independent Union

ROCKFORD, Ill.-DeSpite the ap-
peals Of company executive and
an A. r. Of L. representative. the
metal workers Of the local IngersolI
plant have definitely decided in
favor of an independent union. The
plant, employing about 400 men.
makes special milling machines and
is 2 war production base.
At Rockford Drop Forging. an
other metal shop the company,
through their spies, finding that
the men were talking organization,
Immediately started a union.
Realizing that the sentiment was
against an open company union,
the bosses started to build an lin
dependent" union. At the first meet
ing the hand of the company was
visible. Statements such as, "Nordell
(the super wants us to have a
union" and that the company will
donate use of the official bulletin
board plainly exposed the purpose
of this union.
A worker who ran as candidate
for president succeeded in getting
more than a third of the vote de-
spite all efforts to label him a Com
munist. The men in the key depart
ment, the hammer shop. were united
in opposition to the faker and had
this department been represented
as it should have been, the results
would have been different.
The workers throughout the city
are ready for struggle and militant
workers must increase their activ-
tiles. An energetic campaign for
the building Of p local Of the
SMWI.U. must be started.

expose the Sherwood Williams
gang and that it was none of their
business where the Daily Worker
got information.
Sherwood admitted on the witness
that he was connected with Jacob
Nozovitsky, the forger, and that he
was also connected with the forged
documents on the Mexican Commu-
mist movement, which Sherwood
published in 1924 and circuIarized
among manufacturers.
Williams Says He's Lecturer
Strikebreaker Williams, who came
to court twirling a cane and wearing
a toupee to hide his bald head had
the audacity to say on the witness
stand that he was "a mechanical
engineer and lecturer on political
economy"
Just what school of political
economy the strikebreaker repre-
sents was revealed on the witness
stand. However, the Daily Worker
has copy of a letter which Williams
used to send out to mine owners
entitled NOW FOR THE OPEN
SHOP" This letter throws some
light on the school that MI Will
liams represents.
At any rate Williams viii no doubt
tell more about his political economy
researches when he is called to the
witness stand today at 2 p, m. in
Jefferson Market Court, AIS Sixth
Ave, where the hearing on the libel
charges will bs continued.
