IRON MOUNTAIN, Mic, Oct, %.
After a mass meeting before the
relief office here, where an elected
committee reported that the relief
administration refused to consider
their demands to rescind a 10 to 20
per cent wage cut, 500 relief work.
ers voted to strike.
Last Wednesday the strikers form
ed mass picket lines and closed down
every relief job in the city. Despite
the announcement by w. F. Kinsey
relief administrator, that work will
be resumed, the workers are mo-
bilizing for larger picket lines to
keep the jobs closed.
The Communist Party is actively
participating in the strike, and
Stephens, one of the most out
standing Communists in the locality,
was elected to the strike committee,
A mass election rally of the Com
munist Party, at which Phillip Ray
mond, Communist candidate for
United States Senator, spoke, rallied
the striking relief workers to the
picket lines. Numerous meetings are
being held at which all the strike
issues are being clarified to the
workers.
In the nearby town of Norway,
although the relief administrator
preceded the strike committee there
and implored the workers not to
strike, the workers voted to strike
on Nov. unless the strikers de-
mands for the entire county are
granted.
The strikers are demanding the
immediate resembling of the wage
cut and adequate provision for med
ical aid and Winter clothing. They
are also demanding public investi-
cation Of the Welfare Department,
because at the present time long
delays and endless red tape are re-
quired before relief is granted.
The county receives 10000
monthly for the 1000 workers on the
work relief lists and similar num-
Der on direct relief for the provision
of wages, relief, clothing, and other
relief needs. The relief officials
claim that no more money can be
obtained.

Ryan's Defense of Eastern Dock Agreement
Is High Water Mark of Hypocrisy, Treachery

fed discomfort with conditions and
hatred of the 1. L. A. bureaucracy
Ryan was able to put over his sell
out in the face of the general dis
content and militancy of the mem
bership solely because of the nom
existence on the East Coast of a
fighting rank and file leadership
such as led the struggle in Frisco.
Given strong rank and file oppo-
sition movement in the l. L. A. To-
Gals in New York, Philadelphia
Baltimore and Boston, it would
have been possible to expose and
defeat Ryan's maneuvers. 1t is
true that Ryan's gangster machine
is more firmly entrenched on the
Atlantic coast than it was on the
West Coast. But the valuable ex-
periences and lessons of the great
Pacific coast strike have not been
lost upon the marine workers in
the Eastern ports The victory of
the left wing leadership under
Bridges in the Frisc 10. L. A. local
has helped dispel defeatist tenden-
cies with regards to possibilities of
successful struggle against the cor
rupt misleaders. Already, in New
York, new militant rank and file
elements are cropping up, workers
who have demonstrated the courage
and ability to challenge the bu-
reaucrats openly on the floor of
the local union meetings. Within
the ranks of the longshoremen
there are hundreds of such people,
potential leaders and members for
powerful rank and file movement
inside the I. l.. A.
Solved No Problems
Ryan's new agreement has solved
none of the pressing problems and
demands of the longshoremen. The
10 cents an hour increase in wages
which means an average addi-
tional income of $100 to $50 a
week-does not begin to meet the
greater demands of the longshore-
mems family budget, due to in
creased and still rising prices. I'm
bearable working conditions, acct

frequent overtime work. He is silent
about the fact that on IAN hourly
basis" the majority of the dock
workers average only 10 to IL hours
work week. But the most impor-
tant thing involved here is that
Ryan attacks the basic need of the
longshoremen: for a 80 hour week,
together with a definite guaranteed
minimum weekly income of at least
$4,000 a week over the years Pc
Rod; this to be provided at the ex-
pense Of the wealthy shipping in
terests which are being literally
subsidized by the government.
The demand for the 6 hr. day, 80
hr. week, together with the de-
mand for rotary hiring through
union halls controlled by the men
themselves, are fundamental stra-
tegic demands in the struggle OF
the longshoremen against unem-
ployment, against truck horse
working conditions, against dis
elimination, and for a decent
standard of living. In junking the
demand for the hr. day-30 hr
week, Ryan is acting as advance
guard for the starvation offensive
of the ship-owners. He is not only
betraying the interests of the At
lantic coast longshoremen, but he
is trying to undermine the gains
which were secured by the West
Coast men through bloody sacri-
fees and heroic struggles.
In the story ON Ryan's statement
the Times report concludes with
Mr.. Ryan termed the new contract
a vindication of his anti-strike or
der" This is absolutely correct. The
sell-out agreement could never
have been engineered without first
bottling up the strike sentiment of
the longshoremen. Ryan's policy
from the beginning of the negotia-
tions till the signing of the agree
ment. has been consistent policy
policy of conscious betrayal.
Intensified Discomfort
Among the longshoremen the new
agreement is resulting in intensi-

But what do we find in the way Of
activity?
We find that even in the largest :
districts-New York, Chicago. Cleve-

nothing. In Chicago only the Rus

cent of its quota. In Cleveland the

ceived the district report. In New

This is a condition that is cef-
tainly remediable! The language

the only English daily newspaper 2

WASHINGTON, Pa, Oct. %
Breaking down the opposition OF

officials, the Unemployment Coun-
ellis are beginning to take hold in
Washington County, the unem-
ployed and part time miners are
building many new locals, and the
Unemployment Council movement
gives indication of becoming as
strong here as in Fayette County.
In contrast to the status of the
Unemployment Council a few weeks
ago, when relief authorities threat
ened to refuse recognition of a
committee because it represented
only one local, at Finleyville-a
county committee has now been set
up which meets regularly and eight
new locals have been organized.

A meeting Of the enlarged county

The delegates then held a SECOND

supervisors with the six-point pro-

A few days later the Finleyvillt

day to protest against the mass lay
OBJ of the local relief projects and
to elect delegates to the state Hun
ger March now enroute to Albany.
Police were stationed, both inside

pose of intimidating tn workers.
Many workers did enter the hall,

Gus to enter, could not do so as the
police told them to move on"
Phil Bard, organizer of the Al
bany March in the capital district
was approached by the police before
he spoke and told that he was under
arres, Bard challenged their right
to arrest him and the police found
it necessary because Of the workers
who were aroused at this intimida-
ton to permit Bard to continue to
speak.
At the close of the meeting the
police tried to hold Bard for ques-
tioning until the workers left Civ
ing them an opportunity to arrest
him without interference on the
part of the workers. The men re-
fused to leave until Bard was per-
mitted to go along with them The
police threatened to trail him and
have him run out Of town. To this
