Bosses Ask Troops
Against Rome, Ga,
Foundry Strikers

ROME, Ga.-The bosses, desperate
in their attempt to smash the foundry
workers strike here have asked Gov.
Talmadge to send the National Guard
to intimidate the strikers. Sheriff
Oscar Belts and Judge James Maddox
sent in the call for the National
Guard because the picketing strik-
ers were refusing materials to enter
the plants Of the stove company and
also refused to permit completed
stoves to be shipped from the plant. !"
The trouble started when the COM
pany tried to move a truck load OF
stoves from the Southern Cooperative
Foundry. Between 100 and 200 pick
cts started to unload the truck. There
were clashes With the bosses before
the police arrived. The bosses i'm
nediately charged the strikers with
rioting and used this as the reason
for calling on the National Guard.
The strikers met this open strike
breaking maneuyer with the chal-
lenge that shipments would be
stopped ergardless."
An "OutIaw Strike"
The strike is now termed an ''out-
law" strike by the bosses, because the
strikers refused to be sold out by
the Iron Moulders Union bureaucrats,
as we're the Hank Stove and Rome
workers. The strike Is being lead by
militant rank and file workers. All
the strikers are demanding the re-
employment of the two most militant
leaders which the company is trying
to get rid Of.
The lineup trying to smash the
strike includes the I. M. U. officials,
the National Labor Board, the
company bosses, the city and county
police forces, and now the National
Guard. This formidable array OF
forces will not intimidate the strik-
ers. They are determined TO win.
Big things may occur in the next
few days.

nesday. after a convention of the
National Council Of the Aluminium
Workers Union. Three hundred mem
bers of the Machinists Local No. 55l
joined the strike, along with IS en-
gneers, members of the International
Operating Engineers.
The aluminium workers union To-
Gals were directly controlled by the
a. F. Of L. Council in Washington
as federal locals. They demanded the
right to organize their own national
organization, and called a national
convention Of all their locals to form
the Aluminium Workers Union. The
strike was then called and endorsed
at mass meeting Of the workers to
fight for the workers demands and
union recognition.
The workers went out on strike
for increased wages, putting forward
the demand Of S106 an hour. and
S0-hour week. The present NR.A.
wage is 40 cents an hour, with 40
hour week. Over 600 women Joined

Floyd a. Swartz, one Of the com

in an interview with the Pittsburgh

The National Labor Board has a
long record of st-ikebreaking, mainly
in the Weirton Steel, Ford, Budd

was too high not to want at least
what they could get.
So the 2Sth came arOuud and it
ratned. The Cuhnul said, 'eThe
Tight will be held on the first clear
night. You must remember that
many Of the spectators will come in
formal attire and we aren't anxious
to spoil any evening gowns"
Well, the CuhnuI knew what sort
OF class he was dealing with anyhow.
But I'm sure he would never have
called off the fight if they had had
the sign Of a Dempsey Tunney gate.
Rain or shine. The show goes on.
Dempsey and Tunney were regular
troupers, you know.
THE fighters didn't care very much
l about the postponement. After
ALL, the champeen, Carnera, should
be the tempermental one. After
getting In fighting condition for the
oath, postponing the fight would knock
them off a little. They had -already
done their heavy training and taper
ing of. Then they'd have to plan
new line Of battle for the next
four days to get right again.
But the fighters realized how
financial matters stood. With
postpOnement, maybe two more
customers would arrive, or maybe
wire sent to the CuhnuI BY two
New Workers to hold off the fight
until they arrived. So they made
the best Of it. Bill Duffy, one Of

he said, 'Okay,' and went on read

The contest was going TO be called
OF another day; but the flower show
which was scheduled for the End of
March, threatened the gate receipts
again, and the fight was finally
sneaked of before the spectators and
fighters began throwing pansies at
each other. Besides, bower lovers
weren't wanted at the manly "art
Of self defense" It would virtually
ruin the fight profession. 1t was bad
enough to have Tunney read Shakes
peare and pal out with Thornton
Wilder and George Bernard Shaw,
let alone, bringing flowers on the
scene.

A. E. Smith, secretary Of the Cana

sage to the workers Of America

"DimitrofT and his three innocent

ers Of the world. The Hitler govern
ment which attempted the legal as

ing class leaders was rendered power
less before the 'faccuse' Of world pub

Exposed and angered by this de-
feat, the Nazi government plans 10
convict Ernst Thaelmann in a short
and summary trial before world
opinion is modified.
'"The time to act Is now. Delay

forts Of the worlds workers will

Every government must be made
aware that general strike will be re-
sorted TO If necessary to save these

questioning.
An ample text was sent the United
State embassy by the State Depart
ment.
Hull's statement that economic and
commercial rehabilitation should be
effected according to policies of sound
liberalism while preserving the funda-
mentals of popular government was
received with skepticism by Italian
officials who believe rehabilitation
could better be- achieved through a
cooperative state in which the funda-
mental necessity is strong totah-
tartan government.
These officials were interested in
Hulrs advocacy of self-regulation, but
were inclined to believe that self
regulation should be circumscribed
and backed by vigorous government.
The Secretary's reference to per-
manent exchange stabiliZation was
welcomed. Likewise welcomed was
his declaration on the restoration OF
normal commercial intercourse with
Americas foreign neighbors and his
denunciation of arbitrary and chang
ing trade restrictions.
Oficials said that both these latter
statements represented exactly the
Italian viewpoint in this connection.
