Green >> Strikebreaker!

THE strike-breaking activities OF William
L Green and Joseph P. Ryan during the
Frisco general strike were so open and OBJ
vious that even the liberal Nation was
forced to call both of these gentlemen
strike-breakers.
"Most shameful of an says the Nation ed
itoralIy civilian Green made himsaf party
to the strikebreaking . Mr.. Green's statement
was superfuous if it was not actually treach-
erous. 1t had no other purpose than to stimulate
sentiment against the rank and file who had
forced the strike in opposition to their Conservs-
tive leaders. At the same time that Mr. Green
was helping to deliver the workers into the hands
of their enemies Mr.. Ryan, president Of the l.
L. A., also played the strikebreaking game"
1t would be interesting to know how the So
cialist Party leaders will attempt to justify their
position on the strike, which was to the right OF
the liberals.
Party reporting the strike, Saturday July 81, sang
the following paeon of praise of Mr. Green's strike
breaking
"A real bombshel however has been cast into
the ranks of the strikers by the statement of VIII
liam Green, president of the American Federation
of Labor, which is being maliciously construed
regulating the strike"
BY what trick Of journalism oratory can the
Socialist gentlemen justify this united front with
strikebreaker? Every sensible and sane person
who read Green's statement knows that Green re-
pudiated the strike.
The New Leader goes further in supporting
Green's action:
Green merely states what is technically true:
That the A. F. of L. nationally did not order or
authorize the strike, and that the strike is local
in character, possessing no national significance
from the point of view of the action of labor
throughout the country"
Here the Socialist leaders aid in the strikebreak
ing. The strike has national significance, they
reason, and from this idea flows the anti-labor
policy of refusing to unite with the Communists
in ralyng to the unions throughout the country in
support of the strike.
Although the New Leader issued statements for

One of these gangs entered the
home of Violet Orr, one of the

the furniture and defiled the place.
The same procedure was followed
in the home of William Selles. Po-

NEW YORK. Five hundred taxi
drivers meeting yesterday morning

nounced the report of the Mayors

The meeting was called by the

the report put the stamp of ap-
proval on the Board of Taxi Cab
Control which Seabury, the Fusion

'DinitrOf Calls.
For Mass Fight.
to Free RakOsi
DIMITROFF

/ DIMITROFF kat
NEW YORK. - From Moscow.
George Dimitroff, heroic acquitted
Reichstag defendant, calls upon all
workers and all honest minded
people the world over to raise their
voices in protest against the des-
potic Imprisonment of Matthias
Rakosi, and the evident intention
of the Hungarian government to
murder him.
l am very particularly interested
in the fate of Matthias Rakosi, ="
Dimitroff declares, mot only be-
cause he is fellow fighter. but also
because he is a good personal friend
Of mine. I cannot find words strong
enough to express my great in
dignation against this political
prisoner being further held in prison
under insignificant pretexts after
he has already served the mon
strous sentence passed against him
of 81 years hard labor. They now
intend to again pass sentence
against him because of his political
activities in Hungary Is years ago.
This is not even what is called
legal murder 1t is simply the as
sassination of a political opponent.
THE government clearly wishes to
wreack vengeance upon Rakosi for
the Soviet dictatorship in 1929. The
whiteguard bandits who at that
time had murdered thousands of
workers are not only enjoying per-
feet freedom, but are even occupying
governing positions. BY its fear of
liberating the workers leader, Com
rade Rakosi, the Gamboes Govern
ment shows that in view of the
growing unrest of the masses in
Hungary, it does not feel at all
secure. This monstrous attitude of
the Gamboes government against a
political opponent must meet with
the stormy protest of world opinion.
1T is the duty of every worker.
of every honest-minded individual,
to demand the immediate liberation
of Comrade Matthias Rakosi."

Employers Union, the Industrial
Association, the press and the lead
ing officials of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration to divide the ranks of
the maritime workers and isolate
the longshoremen nave failed.
The open shop drive has been
checked in a decisive manner. The
main result of the historic mass
struggles of the last 80 days on the
Pacific Coast is that the employers
and their organizations have been
compelled to abandon temporarily
their attacks designed to destroy
not only the waterfront unions but
all unions.
The longshoremen's committee is
now preparing a resolution estimat-
ing the strike and its results. The
resolution will deal in detail with
the question of government arbi-
tration and the manner in which
the maritime workers should ap-
proach, judge and protect them
selves and their unions against this
reserve weapon of the employers
and their government.
The steady campaign of SANDER,
provocation and intimidation di-
rected against Harry Bridges and
other militant leaders of the water
front workers by the press has had
little effect on the rank and file.

PRESIDENT WILL VETO THE BONUS
Makes That Very Clear in Letter He Sent Speaker

Washington, Feb. 27.-UP).- President Roosevelt today cleared up misunderstanding as to his at- titude on the soldiers bonus bill, by informing Speaker of the House Henry T. Rainey bluntly that he would veto any such legislation at this time.
 Last week Rainey announced that the president would mot ap- prove" such legislation. Bonus ad- vocates then claimed the president would permit-a bonus bill to become law without his signing it.
 Rainey today made public the following letter from the president clearing up his stand:
 Dear Henry:
 Mac (Secretary Marvin Me- Intyre) has shown me your letter of February Fist. Naturally when I suggested to you.that I could not approve the bill for the payment of the bonus certificates I did not mean that might let it become law without my signature. I don't do things that way. What I meant was that would veto the bill, and I don't care whom you tell this to.

CUMMINGS BACKS
 HOUSING PLANS
Atty Gen Supports Hous= ing and Slum Clearance
 Act of President

Washington, February 27 - CUP) - Attorney General Homer S. Cummings has issued an opin- ion favorable in many respects to the emergency housing and slun clearance program of the Roose. welt administration, the United Press learned today from depart ment of justice officials.
 While details of the opinion were not available, it was said that Cummings, had in effect upheld creation of the $10O,000,000 fed eral emergency housing corpora tion as an act in agreement with principles of the Constitution.
 Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, as president of the hous- ing corporation, is expected to re- lease the opinion later.
 Work of the corporation was hopelessly deadlocked for an ex- tensive period by a ruling" in which Comptroller General J. K. McCarl contested, constitutionallty of the housing program. and de- clined to approve authorized ex- penditures.
 While recent negotiations caused McCarl to relax his original posi- ton in such a manner as to par tially dissolve the deadlock. the comptroller general has not yet completely rescinded his "unoffl- cial ruling"
