Especial to the Daily worker


PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. IL
The Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers held
an election for union officers Satur-
day. No one will know the result
of the vote of more than 200 lodges
until Oct. 20, when the sealed en-
velopes containing the balloting of
each lodge will be opened sup
posedly for the first time, by the
"canvassing board" of the union.
Speculation is rife as to whether
Mike Tighe will be reelected presi-
dent. George williams, So-called
rank and file candidate, to whom
Earl Forbeck, Committee of Ten
leader, was supposed to have
thrown his support when he with
drew from the race last month, OPP
posed Tighe for the post.
Some of the more skeptical A. A.
members are offering odds that
Tighe will recapture the presidency,
pointing out that the 76-year-old
misleader is much nearer the sealed
envelopes than Williams, a resident
Of Cannonsburg.
The Amalgamated, now conduct
ing it's struggles for the steel work
ers exclusively within the arena
marked off by the National Steel
Labor Relations Board, faces a
lengthy and expensive court battle
over the question of whether the
majority rule" handed down by
the National Labor Relations Board
in the Houde case shall be applied
to the steel industry.
Attorney Earl Reed, for the
Wheeling Steel Corporation, in
hearing before the steel board in
Washington Saturday on the ques-
ton of an election at the Ports
mouth, Ohio, plant of that COM
pany, announced to the press that
his client would oppose the major
ity rule"
Reed added that Wheeling Steels
fight would also be supported by
the U. s. Steel Corporation and
other large steel companies.
Three weeks from now the Steel
board is scheduled to hear its first
case, which involves U. S. Steel,
when a complaint Of the Mac
Donald, Ohio, employees and the
demand of A. A. members there for
an election, will be heard in Pitts
burgh.

.JObless Resist
Mass EvictiOns
In Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 20
Unemployed workers of Pittsburgh
are massing for an intensified fight
against evictions, 1900 of which are
pending as a result of the refusal
of property owners in the slums to
accept the partial rent payment
plan adopted recently by relief au-
thorities.
Deputies on Monday evicted the
Singleton family from their home
in a condemned house at 1929 Fifth
Avenue, ousting parents and their
five children, one of them baby
only eight months old, into the
street with their furniture. Mem
bers of the Unemployment Council
Immediately commandeered a truck
and moved family and furniture
down into the Van Braam relief
station. In the relief Office sign
was hung on the furniture bearing
the slogan: "Evictions Must Stop!
Join the Unemployment Councils!"
The workers demanded that au-
thorities find a house Immediately
for the family, and forced instan-
taneous action on the part of Of
ficials. An empty house was OBJ
tanned on Hazel Street and before
nightfall the Singletons were in
stalled, fulfilling the Councils slo-
gan that mo one shall sleep out
of-doors."
Launching new maneuver on
the part of the sheriff's Office
against the militancy of the work.
ers, constable yesterday arrested
Mildred Walker for "trespassing" in
a house on Tannehill Street, where
she and her family had been in
stalled by the Unemployment Coun-
Gil, following their eviction from
another dwelling. A campaign of
mass protest is being carried out
by Council members to obtain her
release.

izers and leaders directly from the
ranks, leaders who have received
their training during the years of
the crisis, who are much closer to
the working class and represent its
interests and wishes as the so-called
recognized leaders do not, cannot
and will not.
Growing Desire for Unity
8. There are many important
signs of the growing desire for unity
among workers regardless of union
affiliation.
8. There is to be seen an I'M
precedented solidarity between I'M
employed and striking workers.
Strikbreaking by unemployed work
ers has almost disappeared as a
decisive factor. The unemployed
are found on the picket lines and
in the relief work of the striking
workers and their organizations.
Strikebreaking now is confined
mostly to professional scabs and
ruined middle class elements.
Negro Workers in Strikes
10. There is to be noted as a
development of basic Importance
the advent Of large numbers of Ne
gro workers into active participa-
ton in strikes in the South and
new evidences of solidarity between
white and Negro workers in these
struggles. This is especially true
where new leadership has developed
recently from the ranks and is not
poisoned by the Jim-Crow of the
official leaders.
IL. There is the extremely i'm
portant fact Of the conjunction of
these struggles with the fight of the
unemployed against hunger relief,
uniting with them and the Unem-
ployment Councils many A. F. of
L., T. U. U. L. and independent
unions.
IL. There is the great and grow
ing support for the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill,
its endorsement by hundreds of A.
F. of L. local unions, many central
bodies, some state declarations and
international union conventions over
the heads Of the official leadership.
10. There is an increase in SYM
pathetic StrikeS-and such Signifi-
cant movements as that in Cen
tralia, ILL.,, where a whole working
class Of a town struck in sympathy

Pennsylvania Miners
Protest Discrimination
By the Relief Officials

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Charg-
ing that relief administration in
Greene County, Pa, is tied up with
the coal operators and is being used
to fight trade unions, the Pennsyl-
yania Security League has asked
the F.ER.A. to investigate.
The league charged that "the
executive director of Westmoreland
County and former director of re-
lief in Greene County, Paul Kee-
nan, is former coal company off,
cial, and has used his relief office
prestige to urge striking miners to
go back to work"
The statement, which is signed
by seven presidents of local U. M.
W. A. unions, states that the ad-
ministration of Federal and State
relief is used to Illustrate union or
ganization.
Questioned on Sept. II, Federal
Relief Administrator Hopkins said
that he had not ordered an inves-
tigation.

with some 400 shoe workers. Ut is
of the greatest interest to note here
that at the time this estimate was
drafted, the Centralia strike was
the only general strike that had
occurred in this period. The Com
munist Party saw this struggle cor
rectly, although it involved COM
paratively few workers and received
little attention, as the beginning Of
mass sentiment for general strike
action-the tendency that has de-
veloped to a remarkable extent in
the six months eliminating in the
West Coast general strike, and that
now brings the general strike issue
to the forefront in every important
labor struggled.
Take on Political Character
IA. Many struggles have devel-
oped, or are developing, a definite
political character. They take place
in defiance of N. R. A. and its
various boards and against the deci-
sions of its boards. They are based
in many instances around demands
for the removal Of troops, against
police and fascist terror, etc.
IS. There is a tremendous growth
Of anti-militarist and anti-war SEN
timent among workers, intellectuals
and professional workers. There is
tremendous sentiment and a
growing movement against fascism
and it's various manifestations in
this country.
Program Based on Estimate
The program that will be pre-
sented to the A. F. of L. conven-
ton by the Rank and File A. F.
of L. Committee is based largely
upon this estimate, with some addi-
ton made necessary by late de-
yelopments, of the present situation
in the country, in the organized
labor movement and in the ranks of
the entire working class.
The vital essence of the Rank and
File Program is unification of all
forces of American labor against the
capitalist offensive and N. r. A.,
its main instrument.
Ito Be Continued
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-09-21

aid to the working class, and the
increasing use of armed force and
fascist terror to suppress strikes
coupled with the encouragement
and protection given by N. R. A.
to company unionism. This leads
to political disillusionment of work
ers in regard to the purpose and
results of N. r. A.
3. There is a nationwide revolt
against company unions and all
forms Of employee representation"
even in their recently "liberalized"
form.
4. There are huge new contin-
gents Of workers in basic industries
never before organized or involved
in strikes, who are now engaged, or
are about to engage, in wage, Or
ganization and strike movements on
a scale never seen before in this
country.
5. The stubborn character of
these movements must be noted as
most significant sign of the tenn
per of American workers and as
an indication of their increased
consciousness and determination
This is shown by the length of the
strikes in the face of mass arrests,
castings, clubbings, shootings and
actual murder of workers. There
must be noted also the new phen-
omenon of strike, re-strike and
strike again by the same groups
Of workers, together with the fact
that each new wave of struggle
tends to include ever larger num-
bers of workers.
A. F. L. Leadership Weaker
6. The unstable character and
lack of ability to control workers
and their organizations as in the
earlier periods is an outstanding
fact in connection with the official
leadership of the A. F. of L. and
its affiliated unions. They main
tain their connection with the
membership now, for the most part,
by making continual concessions to
rank and file sentiment and pres
sure in questions of strikes, organ
national structure, tactics, ETC., and
by continual promises that the
government will see that workers get
Justice"
7. There is to be seen the de-
Velopment of new corps of organ

pose New Deal, Planks
of C.. P. Point Out

News from Wisconsin of the pri-
mary elections IN which, according
to the United Press "a new progress
sive party was baptized at the polls
as a trial balloon for a new
national alignment of liberals"
brings sharply to the fore the Com
munist Party's exposure Of the
aims Of the old-line parties in the
elections.
The Par5y's Congressional plat
form reveals Democratic, Republic
can and progressive" capitalist
groups as being essentially support
ers Of capitalism despite minor diff
ferences as to how the Roosevelt
government should use the New
Deal and other misleading schemes
to shift the burden Of the crisis to
the workers.
The Communists Party, therefore,
calls on all working class voters to
break with the old-line parties be
they Socialist, Farmer-Lsbor or La
Toilette ''progressives."
THE Republican Party, the Re-
publicsns m Congress, have sup
ported all the measures Of Roosevelt
directed against the masses for the
benefit of the CAPT alists," the pro-
gram declares.
with the approach Of the cleo
tons, the Republican Party is try
ing to appear as an opposition to
the New Deal. They even pretend
to 'criSicise' the growing bureau
cracy Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton. But these are only campaign
tricks to utilize the growing dis
illusionmnet of the working people
in the New Deal :" the Commu-
mist program continues.
1t reveals the unity of all the old
line parties in defending capitalism
by saying:
THE Farmer Labor Governor
Olson, of Minnesota, like his Demo-
cratic colleague, Governor White. Of
Ohio, and Republican Governor
Merriam of California has sent
troops to break strikes The So
called "Progressives," the Borahs,
LaFollettes, etc, carry out the same
anti working class policies"
THE Communist Party calls on
the workers to break decisively with
these parties of hunger, fascism
and war. 1t calls on the masses to
defeat the Republican, Democratic,
Farmer Labor and Socialist cam
didates in the Congressional cleo
tons. Elect Communist candidates.
