Resented Tells of Tour
in u. S. and Canada
to Free Thaelmann

NEW YORK-Dr. Kurt Rosen-
field, former Prussian Minister of
Justice, and Aneurin Bevan, men,
Der Of the British parliament and
the Wales Miners Federation, de-
scribed attempts of Fascists and
vigilantes to disrupt their meetings,
following their arrival in this city
after six-week tour of the United
States and Canada. The tour was
conducted under the auspices of the
National Committee to Aid Victims
of German Fascism.
In one instance" DR.. Rosenfeld
declared, "a hall-permit was re-
voked because of pressure exerted
by Nazi group" He referred to
the st. Paul meeting scheduled for
Thursday evening, Aug. is, where
Nazis, after mutilating photograph
of DR.. Rosenfeld by cutting out the
eyes and scratching swastikas across
the photo, influenced the manage
ment of the German American
House to deny the speakers the use
of the hall. The meeting, however,
was subsequently successfully held
in the st. Paul Labor Temple.
"All meetings everywhere were
highly successful" both distin-
guished speakers informed the Daily
Worker. "They were not equally
well attended, due in instances to
the summer season and also to the
inability of some city committees to
reach out into the ranks of the I'M
told number of sympathizers of our
movement, who hate Hitler, who de-
sire to aid the victims of German
Fascism, to free Thaelmann and
all other anti-Fascists in German
concentration camps.
Especially interesting were our
meetings on the West Coast, where

Jersey Bosses
Use'Red Scare
Against Strike
Federal Officials Aid
Vigilantes in Bridge
Construction Fight
Especial to the Daily worker

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27-Charg-
ing that the strike of construction
workers on the Delaware River
Bridge high speed line is Commu-
nist-led and part of the far-reach-
ing plan of Soviet Russia to create
terror and disorder in all national
defense plans, New Jersey and Fed
eral officials and a Jersey vigilante
group have initiated three-cor-
nered drive to smash the strike, led
by the Construction Workers IN
dustrial Union. George Biehl, di-
rector of the American Research
Bureau, which attempted to start
wave of terror in South Jersey
during and after the Seabrook
Farm strike recently, linked the So
Wet Union to the strike and de-
manded that the Senatorial Com
mittee investigate Communist ac-
tivities Immediately, beginning
work in Camden.
simultaneously Emil Dethels, di-
rector of the State Employment Of
flee, assured Mandel Marcus, con-
tractor, that he would turn the of
flee into a strikebreaking agency
and try to supply 200 scabs from
the list of local unemployed.
At the same time all are waiting
for the National Board of Labor Re-
view to take action to smash the
strike.
A group of engineers, members of
an American Federation of Labor
union, and scabbing on the other
strikers, announced that they, too,
will quit if scabs are brought on
the job. This may force Dethels to
cancel plans to supply local scabs.
But according to Marcus's contract
with the Public Works administra-
ton, he may import New York
strike breakers if the local office
fails to supply the men he demands
within 48 hours.
The relation of the A. F. of l.. to
the strike-breaking move is shown
in a statement by Biehl that proof
of his charges lies in the statement
by Emanuel Braude, union attorney,
that the A. F. of L. sis an enemy
of the workers"
The ranks of the strikers remain
solid under rank and file control,
and attempts to get support from
other unions are meeting with sue
cess.

Shoe Workers
Face Betrayal
ByRed-Baiting
Mackesey, Tory Leader
of Union, Backs Green
in Anti-Strike Stand

NEW YORK.-The entire mem
bership of the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union is faced
with a red-baiting campaign and an
attempt at open betrayal of the
union into the hands of the en-
ployers. The campaign is led by
William Mackesey, general organ
izer of the union. who heads the
national organization
Mr.. Mackesey's campaign was
mapped out in the Boston Daily
Record on Aug, 20, which quoted
him as saying:
II strongly agree with President
William Green of the American
Federation of Labor, that union
ranks must be purged of Commit
mist agitators. A definite drive
to eliminate such agitators from
the shoe and leather association is
under way, and will be continued
until the troublesome element is
disposed of. Such drive is
absolutely necessary if we are to
avoid the serious danger of serious
general strikes throughout the
country"
This attack against Communists
and the open alignment of Mack
esey with the reactionary misleaders
Of the A. F. of L. comes at a time
when Mackesey finds himself face
to face with the organized forces
of the rank and file. which is re-
sisting the 16-month arbitration
and no-wage- increase agreement.
This resistance is personified in the
united action of the edgemakers in
the New England territory, who,
dissatisfied with the agreement,
went out on strike over the head of
the New England Resident Board.
In New York City, where the out
standing leaders of the union are
Communists, the workers and man
ufacturers are entering into new
1-month agreement which will eX-
pire on Aug. /, 1885, and calls for
minimum hourly rate of 80 cents
for skilled workers, IS cents for
semi-skilled and 40 cents for I'M
skilled. This is a substantial in
crease for a big majority of the
workers, and no arbitration. These
gains have been made because the
leadership-which is a leadership OF
the rank and file-has the full con-
fidenne nf the members
The executive committee of Local
% has issued statement condemn
ing the attack on the militant mem
bership of the union by Mackesey
and the organization as whole.

Seek to Split Strikers
The tactics of Frey here are the
same as those of Edward McGrady,
Assistant Secretary of Labor, the
reactionary officials of the Central
Labor Council and the employers
in San Francisco with this differ
ence: Whereas in San Francisco
they tried to split the main body
of the strike, the longshoremen,
away from the nine smaller unions,
here they are trying to split the
small craft unions from the main

and Smelter Workers.

Fur Workers Plan
Strike Over Failure

NEW YORK. Gold, gen.

Ira les Workers Industrial
Union, announced yesterday that
If the Fur Trimming Manufac-
turers' Association will not nego-
tiate at once with the union, all
shops belonging to the associa-
ton will be declared on strike.
The contract between the in
dustrial union and the associa-
ton expired last January, but
instead of renewing it within so
days, as agreed upon by the
manufacturers, the association
concluded a contract with the
American Federation of Labor
Joint Council, despite the fact
that the workers in the shops
were and still are members of
the Fur Workers Industrial
Union.
