Vital Issues Ignore
At Ohio Convention
of Unemployed League
Especial to The DAILY worker

Especial to the Daily NOrkeFJ
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30.-The
second annual convention of the
Ohio Unemployed League ended here
yesterday.
Out of the total of 200 delegates
at the convention, only seven Ne
groes we're present. Similarly, there
were but few youth delegates, al
though the main report to the con-
vention stated that rs or 80 new
locals had been organized during the
past three months. Thirty county
organizers were seated as regular
delegates.
A resolution condemning all I'M
employment insurance bills as in
adequate since they provide that the
workers pay all or part OF the
money into reserves was passed
without discussion or explanation.
Instead of backing the Workers I'm
employment Insurance Bill, the
convention went on record for q
new bill providing $40 weekly bene-
fits and majority representation OF
the workers in administration OF
the funds.
The vital working class issues OF
freedom for the Scottsboro Boys
and Angelo Herndon were not even
discussed or any resolutions pre-
scented.
A resolution for wide county
actions within the next 90 days
was passed, but no plans were dis
cussed en- how to carry through
these actions.

Three Million on Relief.
Thousands Homeless
In Farm Area
BY HOWARD BoLDT

NEW YORK.-The seriousness Of
the drought, now assuming famine
proportions, with the attendant
rising of food prices for the city
population, raises more sharply than
ever the need for adequate unem-
ployment insurance as embodied n
the Workers Unemployment In
surance Bill.
In the drought sections, with each
day bringing new additions to the
emergency drought area, figures
compiled by the Federal Emergency
Administration show that on July
10, 1922, IA persons in 704, 500 fami-
lies and 93,898 single workers were
on emergency relief-12.3 per cent
of the population of the farm area
affected. In South Dakota, 30.1 per
cent of the population were on the
relief lists on July 10. Colorado,
Utah, Oklahoma and North Dakota
each averaged ever 20 per cent.
The total area in the governments
emergency drought area included
$40 counties in IS states on July 10.
In addition, there we're 589 counties
in 10 states in the secondary
drought area. Out of total farm
population of IS million, three
million were receiving relief.
Homeless Families
Whole families, evicted from
tenant and share-cropper holdings,
are on the road. Homeless youth,
denied all forms of relief, roam the
country. Negro workers are denied
all forms of relief in parts of the
South, and denied work at the
higher categories of pay.
Employers, grouped together to
oppose any form of unemployment
insurance, have fought the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill
successfully thus far They have,
moreover, opposed any uniform
system of unemployment insurance
for the country as whole. The
policy of the Roosevelt regime is to
Foster only state insurance at best,
thus dividing the fight into AZ sep
arate struggles of the workers.

Joint Meetings
Called to Fight
LegalLynching

NEW YORK. - A joint call for
emergency conferences in every city
around the struggle for the freedom
of the Scottsboro boys, Angelo
Herndon and Ernst Thaelmann, and
for powerful united front demon
STATIONS on August %, was issued
last week by the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Ma
tional Committee for the Defense
of Political Prisoners.
1.-THE legal lynching of the Scots
boro boys and the torture to death
of Angelo Herndon must be pre-
vented" the call states in part.
1.-THE fight to free ten youths of the
Negro race is a focal point in the
struggle for the liberation of the
oppressed Negro people-a central
point in the decisive struggle
against growing fascism."
Conferences should be held in
every city, the call states, on the
following three main issues: the
fight for the freedom of the Scots
boro boys, the fight to free Herndon,
and the launching of nationwide
campaign for the enactment and
enforcement of the Bill For Negro
Rights and the Suppression of
Lynching, presented by the L. S.
N. R. The conferences should plan
to put forward local ordinances
aimed at smashing Jim-Crow laws
and practices, and organize mass
violation of the humiliating jim
Grow laws and practices.
The call set August %, anniver-
sary of the legal murder of Sacco
and Vanzetti, as a national day of
struggle for the Scottsboro boys and
Herndon.
Into these struggles" it declares,
must be drawn all those who OPP
rose the rising terror of fascism,
ZIitlerism in America. Hence the
conferences should support the
jruggle for the release of Ernst
aaelmann, the heroic leader of the
German working class whose mill
snt struggle effectively aided the
ght to save the Scottsboro boys"

DOckers Stay
Out on Strike
With Seanen

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July %.
Despite the fact that the Roose-
welt mediation board has stated
that all matters regarding the set
ting of the strike will be decided
through arbitration, the seamen
have fatty refused to return to
work through the shipowners' hir-
ing halls, known as Fink Halls.
A delegation of sesmen appeared
before the longshoremens strike
committee last week and asked how
the longshoremen stood on the
question of the seamen.
The longshoremen's representa-
tives made it clear to the seamen
that the men would not return to
the docks until all maritime trades
were ready to go back to work.
The following resolution W a S
adopted unanimously by the Joint
Marine Strike Committee:
Whereas: The decision ending
the general strike--and also the
offer of the shipOwners on Satur-
day-has recognized the pact be-
tween the several striking groups
in the marine industry, to the ef-
feet that no single craft return to
work without the other
Now, therefore, be it resolved:
That after taking the ballot on
arbitration the question Of time
to return to work must be settled
together with all striking groups
in conference, and
Be ii further resolved; That

enc of the striking groups be left
alone, but return to work shall be

bers and "a other workers and or
ganizers of the Agricultural and
Cannery Workers Union)
Yesterday longshoremen's laugh
ter drowned out the shrek of tug
boat and ferry whistles. With all
due ceremony a crew went aboard
the Australian liner Makura. Their
pictures were taken and all after
noon papers featured them. The
press rejoiced. The longshoremen
were back at work with happy,
smiling faces. They seemed not to
resent the long series of ISLANDERS,
sluggings, killings and military and
police tyrannies.
But one could wiring tears out Of
the next editions Of the papers. The
longshoremen who boarded the Ma
kura, 1t developed, had unloa6ed
only the mail.
Touch No Cargo
In response to insistent requests
they replied that they were not
touching any cargo yet and would
not touch any cargo until they had
instructions to that effect from
their headquarters.
So the advertisements for strike
breakers were again inserted in the
daily press. But the fervor to serve
the golden state OF California on
the part of many bankrupt business
men, briefless lawyers. jobless ad-
vertising executives and real estate
sharks without victims, the middle
class urge to wipe out the disgrace
of waterfront tieup in this his
toric port, has declined in direct
proportion to the number of troops
and special policemen on the docks.
Following the withdrawal of the
5000 national guardsmen with their
artillery and tanks the desire for
patriotic service in moving cargo
under the eyes of union pickets
seems to be very weak.
Board In Quandary
The Presidents Board is in what
is often referred to as a quandary.
What can you do with longshore-
men who refuse to desert their
fellow workers in the other mari
time unions and, with actions
speaking louder than words, refuse
to go to work until they have what
they consider genuine guarantees
that their demands will be acceded
to?
The prestige of the waterfront
workers and their organizations is
mounting higher in the other
unions. The prestige of the en-
ployers' organizations and of the
Presidents Board is decreasing. AS
one member of the maritime work
ers' delegation remarked irrever-
emily after leaving the august pres
ence of the Presidents three eccles-
iastical, legal and labor department
appointees: They look like fruit
to mel"
Hearst Complains
Mr.. Hears complains bitterly in
his editorial today that even Mr..
Edward McGrady seems unable to
do any effective strike breaking
work in the present situation.
These San Francisco longshore-
men and their leading committees
deserve the acclaim and unstinted
support of every section of the
American working class. They have
won it. They have disregarded the
employers cry of peace when there
was no peace. They have adapted
their tactics to meet new situations
as they arose. They are teaching
the great lesson that American
labor, so many of whose victories
won in strikes are bargained away
in negotiations with the enemy
need to learn: Not only in time OF
peace to prepare for war, but in
time of war to prepare for peace.

Food Prices to Soar
The effects of the drought and
the sweeping reductions of the A. A.
A. program, reflected in its effects
on the city population, means in
creased prices for food and less
food consumed.
Quoting from the July, 1884 Agri-
cultural Situation we find:
Milk production per COW and egg
production per hen, on June l, were
the lowest in the nine years for
which such records are available. "
Estimated total production of
creamery butter last month May
was 1852, 900 pounds, or 81 per
cent less than in May 1933-and the
change for the calendar year to
June l is net reduction of So and a
half million pounds, or 8.8 per cent.
