William Green
Again Attacks
Workers Bill
Letter to Local Asks
Support of Fake
Wagner Bill

PITTSBURGH, Pa. Oct. 10. -
In answering the letters of local
unions notifying the A. F. Of L..
that the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill CHR. 1899 has been
Endorsed, William Green, president
Of the A. F. of L.. IS raising the
red issue as the primary reason why
he lis sorry to learn" that another
local union has rallied to the sup
port Of the only real unemployment
and social insurance bill.
Recently u NJ. w. Of A. local
in West Virginia received Green's
reply which typifies his snti-work-
ing class attitude to social insur-
ance.
Green's letter to this local union,
No. 6l09, states:
Il am indeed sorry to hear that
your local union has endorsed H.R.
1898.
MY reason for making this state
ment is because of the fact that
the Bill was written by the Com
munists, and has for its purpose
the placing Of obstacles in the way
Of real unemployment insurance
law. such as that which the A. F.
of L. endorsed in the last Congress
and which was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Wagner and in
the House by Congressman Lewis. -
The missive then launches into
an explanation of tho "unconsti-
tutional" provisions of the Workers
Bill as compared with the fake
Wagner-Lewis measure, attempts to
SANDER the A. F. Of L. Trade Union
Committee for Unemployment III
surance, and concludes:
There is absolutely no chance
Of the Lundeen bill passing, and
sincerely hope that your local will
reconsider the action taken in re-
gard to H.R. 1893. and vote for
a constitutional bill, such as the
one supported by the A. F. Of L.
(Signed) WIN. Green"
Green's letter, Of course, fails to
mention that the Wagner Lewis
Bill would do nothing whatever for
the 100000 now unemployed. nor
even affect the workers now en-
ployed until at least two years have
elapsed. But it is constitutional"
flor the bosses) therefore Green
supports it,

October % Meeting to
Plan Statewide
Relief Drive

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Oct. TO-
Centering their demands around
immediate enactment of genuine
unemployment insurance and ade-
quate relief for the unemployed and
poor farmers, representatives of six
state organizations here have is
sued a call for united front con-
ference to be held Oct. % and 90

Detroit City Council
Refuses Public Hearing
On General Rent Rise

DETROIT, Mich. Oct. 10.-The
Detroit City Council, supporting the
bankers and real estate sharks, has
refused to hold a public hearing on
the rent increases that were put
over on Oct. l. The City Council
on Monday rejected the demand of
a committee, elected by mass
meeting called by the Tenants Pro-
tective League last week, despite
such hearing. Rent for thousands
of families has been raised from
$3.50 to $40 a month.
The excuse given was that hear
ings could be held only regarding
public utilities and not concerning
private property.
The Tenants Protective League
intends to continue its fight TO pre-
vent evictions of tenants who re-
fuse to pay the increases and calls
for mass refusal to pay the ex-
oroitant rents.

seven to the Interstate COMMITTEES
of the organization and demand his
reinstatement.
Anderson, who is Communist cam
didate for Governor, was arbitrarily
suspended together with John
Mack, another leading Progressive.
several months ago by the District
Committee Of the M. E. S. A., con-
trolled by Matthew Smith, Socialist
Party member. In violation of the
constitution, the membership was
not allowed to vote on the Suspen-
sions which we're carried out in
drive to crush all opposition to the
ruinous policies Of the Smith ma
chine. The explosions were al" eff
fort to cover up the disastrous mis-
leadership that resulted in the loss
of the second tool and die and the
Michigan Stove Co. strikes.
When Anderson appeared at the
meeting OF Local 7, the chairman
refused to admit him. The mem
bership. however, voted to hear
him, whereupon the four officials
of the local walked out. The next
night the committee of seven,
elected to vote for Anderson's re-
instatement, forced its way into the
meeting of the Interstate Commit
tee and demanded a hearing. Smith
made vicious attack on Anderson
and declared that the District Com
mittee had Jurisdiction in the ques-
ton. He and his chief henchman,
Harrison, walked out of the meet
ing, which arrived at no conclusion
on the matter.
Several days later Anderson adj
dressed a shop-gate meeting at the
Fisher Body plant, where the M. E.
S. A. has organized the tool and
diemakers. He called for the build
ing of the M. E. S. A. as militant
rank and file union and was warmly
received by about 1000 workers
The fight for the reinstatement
Of Anderson, which is really part
of the fight for militant policies
and rank and file control in the
NJ. E. S. A.. is now being carried
TO other locals of the union.

Federal Relief Commissioner Hop
kins yesterday announced that
$1,000 to 10000 unemployed work
ers are now working in 1000 F. E.
R. A. factories throughout the
country producing goods for their

The forced labor relief factories,
Hopkins pointed out, do not in any
way compete with industry. The
workers in these factories are en-
ployed at wages established by
subsistence budgets for the families.
Outdoor relief is done away with
