then the bourgeoisie, the capitalists attack the
workers even more.
Therefore, it is not mere chance that the attacks
of the bosses and the government are now becom-
ing sharper on all fronts.
DUT these capitalist gentlemen who think that
they have the workers in their pockets
making one big mistake in their calculations.
We say, yes, it is unfortunately true that the
workers did not vote as they struck on the picket
lines. But this only showed that the workers
ready to fight but in way different from the
way they voted The workers who fought so bravely
in the textile districts in San Francisco, in Toledo
and Minneapolis the millions of workers who stood
in the last two years before tear gas attacks, ma
chine guns, police clubs. in hundreds of battles,
will quickly recognize their mistake in the elections.
Ard they will correct their election mistake
with new picket lines, demonstrations in the
streets, hunger marches strikes. The
united actions of the masses will correct
the mistakes of the elections!
The gentlemen Of the capitalist class who are so
satisfied about the confidence of the toilers" in
the last elections are forgetting the hatred and
deep mistrust which millions of striking workers
showed during the past two years
True, there is still great contradiction between
the picket lines and the election results. 1t would
be wrong and dangerous to overlook the confusion
of the workers expressed in the election returns.
But it would be equally wrong and dangerous to
forget this growing class feeling Of the masses ex-
pressed in hundreds of brave battles in which the
workers have fought the bosses during the past
twenty -four months.
To correct the mistakes of the elections to give
organzational form to the splendid fighting spirit
of the American masses to overcome the contra
dicticn between the picket lines and the election
votes we have got to rouse ourselves to work with
far more energv to awaken the class consciousness
of the American working class
This task means that we must convince, or
ganize and lead these millions of workers who
fought against the bosses in strikes but who voted
for the bosses in the elections
To overcome the tremendous burden of petty
bourgeois and bourgeois prejudices which still ham,

California Gold Miners
Strike for Recognition
And Increased Wages

JACKSON, Calf, Dec. 18.-Strik-
ing gold miners here declared thai
the announcement OF the mine oper-
ators Tuesday that four of the larg-
est mines will be shut indefinitely
unless strikers return, is a bluff.
The Argonaut mine started to re-
move its pumps, permitting water
to seep in The workers declare,
however, that the pumps were to
have been replaced a long time ago.
The miners, organized in the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, are de-
mand.ng recognition OF the union
and an increase in wages CORE
spending to the rise in the price Of
gold. The operators propose arbl-
tartion but refuse to submit to union
recognition
The strike has been on for more
than three months. and has aroused
the backing of many trade unions
and labor councils.

California Judge Charged
With FaIsifying Records;
LID. Demands His Removal

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1s.-The
international Labor Defense today
charged Judge Brietenbucher Of
Stockton and the prosecuting at
torney in the case of the worker,
Powell, with deliberately falsifying
the court records of the trial in or
der to defeat an appeal to the Su-
perior Court of San joaquin against
the conviction of Powell. The I. l..
D. has started a mass campaign for
the removal Of the judge.
Powell, arrested last August while
looking for headquarters for a
darcy for Governor" club in Stock
ton, was charged with "vagrar1cy,"
He was sentenced by Judge Brein-
tenbucher to six months in Jail and
a fine of $500 to be worked out at
the rate Of So per day.

drawn by the defense attorney who

virtual recognition of the company
union.
The government and the steel
companies proposed that instead of
recognition Of the "A, there should
be recognition of minority groups,
and that the union be recognized
only as one group-in other words,
the A. A. would work through the
company unions works council"
William Green and Tighe rejected
this formulation, knowing that
the steel workers would never stand
for it.
However, Green and Tighe are
doing absolutely nothing to prepare
the strike which the steel workers
demand. Instead they are cooper
ating with the government and the
steel employers to find a way to
kill the strike.
Green and Tighe are trying to
perpetuate the authority Of the
Steel Labor Board which Green
helped set up last spring, and under
which the strike was prevented last
year and the demands of the steel
workers were defeated. The COM
pany union has grown tremendously
under the authority of the Steel
Labor Relations Board.
Tighe and Green are talking of
legislation in Congress, thus DELHI
erately causing further delay in
strike preparations and weakening
the demands of the steel workers.

"a StevedOres
Charged With
Death of ScaI]

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 19.-The
grand jury here has returned four
indictments against each of the
thirty -four longshoremen, members
of the International Longshoremen's
Association, arrested shortly after
the West Coast marine strike. The
indictments charge felonious assault,
assault with deadly weapons such as
sticks and stones.
The arrest of the longshoremen
took place during a fight at a fink
hall here in which scab, James
Conner, was killed. Evidence showed
that Conner was killed by his fellow
strikebreakerS and thugs within the
hall. AT a preliminary hearing it
was found that at least six of the
StrikebreakerS carried guns and used
them but not one of them was in
dicted. The case is now attracting
attention as frame-up and a broad
defense campaign has already been
developed in the northwestern
states.

Green demonstrated that "this is

Walkout Against
Scabbing Athletes
Staged on Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10
When a squad of 29 football
players from the University of
California boarded the Dollar
Liner Taft, sailing for Hawaii,
113 longshoremen and $50 sea-
men went on a one-hour pro-
test strike.
The strike was called to express
the resentment Of the marine
workers against athletes and
other University of California
students who acted as strike
breakers during the waterfront
strike and the general strike
here during the summer.
Harry Bridges, president of
the International Longshore-
mems Association local, de-
clared that some of the men in
the s7uad were believed to have
been members of the university's
scab cohorts.

AntFascist Workers Sentenced in Bridgeport Cou
Unity Program.
Is Laid Before
ShipyardUniOn
SMWIU Proposals Put
to Independent Body
in Camden, N. ].

An important step in the direction
of bringing about joint action of
shipyard workers for improvement
of conditions was made when
Charles Rivers, third vice-president
Of the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union, laid plans for such
action before the General Executive
Board of the Industrial Union Of
Marine and Shipbuilding workers of
America, an independent union Of
Camden, N. j., at their meeting
Sunday to which he was invited.
The Board Of the I. U. M. s. w. A.
said it would discuss the proposals
and inform the S. M. w. I. U. Of
the action taken.
The proposals of the S. NJ. w. I.
U. as prepared by Rivers were for
both organizations to cooperate
closely with the aim of establishing
one union in the industry, also that
the I. U. M. S. w. A. participate in
the national council Of independent
! unions in the metal industry that
is being formed. He also proposed
that committee of two be elected
from each of the organizations to
work out in detail how further CO.
operation may be carried through.
The S. M. w. I. U. has member
ship among shipyard workers in the
port CT New York, Toledo and Buff
falo, Rivers said.
The union decided, he said. to ex-
ert all efforts to communicate with
the I. U. M. s. w. A. in order that
unity be established amongst the
workers employed in the industry.
This was considered particularly
necessary because of the vicious and
slanderouS attacks made on both or
carnations by William CIR en-,
Matthew VOL and the top leaders
of the Metal Trades Department of
the A. F. Of L.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
ductrial Union. he declared, has
always regarded the I. U. M. S. w.
A. as a rank and file organization
and has repeatedly demonstrated its
willingness to assist that organiza-
ton.
In instances where the s. M. w.
I. U. could have entered the field,
and challenged the I. U. M. S. w. A.,
it preferred to work in such way
that the workers in the industry felt
that the S. M. w. I. U. considered
the unionization Of the workers first
and foremost, and did not put the
question in the light of competition
between the two unions. Such has
been the case in the shipyards in
Connecticut, the West Coast and
other places.

10000 Minnesota
Farmers Threaten
To Let Cattle Die

ST. PAUL. MINI, Dec. 49,
Bitter at the failure of the
Roosevelt government to provide
any relief for their families or
their stock, 10000 farmers here
in the State Farm Holiday Asso-
citation are prepared to starve
their cattle to death rather than
let them go for the prices that
they would bring now, it was
reported today.
Since the drought, the Roose-
welt government has ignored the
demands of the small, ruined
farmer for government aid to
keep his stock alive. Only the
well-to-do farmers have been
able to procure government loans.
Thousands of small farm house
holds are being pauperized by
this policy of the Roosevelt gov
eminent.

in turn gives the statement to the
prosecutor for correction or addi-
ton. In the case of Powell, the
prosecuting attorney deliberately
falsified the testimony given by the
arresting officer. Judge Breiten-
bucher signed the appeal, despite
the objections Of Leo Gallagher, de-
Tense attorney, whose request to be
allowed to introduce witnesses to
prove that the prosecutor had tam
pered with the evidence, was denied.
On the basis Of this tempered
evidence, the Superior Court was
given a pretext for upholding Pow
ellis conviction, although it revoked
the fine of $3.50.
The I. L. D. has launched a mass
campaign for the release Of Powell,
and is urging the sending Of protests
to Judge Breitenbucher, Stockton,
and Of greetings of solidarity to
Powell in the County Jail, Stockton,
