Of Public Welfare was followed by an even more
vicious attack on Sunday, when the ten arrested
workers came up for trial at Tombs Court After
ordering the courtroom cleared of its working class
spectators in order to easily frame the Jailed
workers, police went after the elected workers in
bestial fashion. They attacked two of them James
Lechay and his wife, repeatedly knocking them
down and kicking and beating them almost to in
sensibilty. So unproYoked and so vicious was the
attack that even hard-boiled reporters accustomed
to the violence of street clashes shouted remon-
strances at the two policemen who were the chief
attackers"
This quotation is from reporters story in The
News" from which we also cite the following:
Knocking down her MRS Lechay's) husband,
the cops went to work in real earnest. Kick after
kick landed in the ribs of both the man and
woman. They dragged Lechay to his knees and
threw him down again. The fists of one patrOlman
beat tattoo upon the woman's head" And

GREEN'S Gloomy Picture OF
Employment

EGTHERE are 1O,616000 still without in
1 dustrial employment" admits A. F.
of L. President William Green in an I'M
employment report issued yesterday, and
forthwith he is forced to gloomy musings
about employment under the Roosevelt
New Deal" and the rising tide of relief
applicants.
1.-THE fact that there were on relief rolls in March
(the latest figures 3O3OOO families and in addition
$4,000 individuals not grouped with families, de-
pendent on direct relief payments, shows the wide
spread need throughout the country" the statement
continues.
When it is considered that the figures prepared
by the A. F. of L. report never at any time admitted
more than 13,699000 at the peak of unemployment
in March, 1888, although reliable estimates prepared
by the Alexander Hamilton Institute placed unem-
ployment at that time at 100000 an estimate
nearer the real figure can be reached.
The workers in 1000 A. F. Of L. locals have
endorsed and demand the enactment of the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill CHR. 1888 as an
effective manner of meeting the permanent capital
ist institution of unemployment. Since the Workers
Bill was introduced into Congress on February O.
the mass sweep of A. F. of L. local endorsements
ing Green's order not to back the Workers Bill
hundreds of A. F. of L. locals have backed the
only real unemployment insurance act-HR 1898
To concretize and consolidate this growing mass
demand for the Workers Bill. and to force action
on it by this session of Congress workers throughout
the country will demonstrate before the homes of
congressman during the week of June to TO- The
central demand in these demonstrations will be that
every Congressman must sign the round robin petit
ton to release the Workers Bill from the House
Committee of Labor and bring it onto the floor of
Congress for vote.
Into these mass demonstrations must be brought
the rank and file members of the A. F. of L. and
independent unions Together with mass resolutions
from organizations of veterans small home owners
poor farmers and workers fraternal and mass or
CARNATIONS everywhere. these demonstrations will
force the required 145 congressman to sign the
round robin motion and act on HR. 1898 before

Use Assassin
Itrame-up For
Cuban Terror

HAVANA, May %. A reign Of
terror against the Communist Party
of Cuba, and members of the revo-
lutionary trade unions was opened
today under the camouhage of an
attempted assassination" of Wall
Streets ambassador, jefferson CAT
fiery, yesterday.
The Mendieta government held a
special cabinet session today and
ordered all police to scour the coun-
try for the "would-be assassins."
A carload of armed men fired at
and wounded a Cuban soldier near
the entrance to Caffery's beautiful
mansion, just few moments before
the Wall Street envoy was about
to leave his home. The soldier was
wounded in the leg.
Rumors, spread by the Mendiets-
Batista government, have been cir
culating quite freely through the
city that an attempt would be made
to assassinate the American ambas-
sador.

ed We must prepare for the coming
battle since we cannot depend on
the arbitration board.
Our next strike, however, must be
in the hands of the rank and file,
and not as it happened in this strike.
The top leadership of this strike did
not consult nor draw into confidence
the original large strike committee
selected by the drivers and helpers,
and all negotiations were carried on
by handful of people. We must
not leave our fate in the hands of
compulsory arbitration. We must
begin now by building a rank and
file movement to take control of our
union and out of the hands of those
who, with their policy of hesitation,
cowardice and splitting tactics, be-
trayed the strike.
From the very beginning the Com
munist Party took an active part in
the strike by modifying thousands
of employed and unemployed work
ers for picket duty. At the same time
the Communist Party warned against
the treacherous role of the A. F. of
L. leaders and of the Trotzyites in
the strike leadership, the Dunns vino
were expelled from the Communist
Party as enemies Of the working
class. What the Communist Party
warned against-arbitrati s
come to pass. Already on May 22nd
the strike leadership, afraid of the
developing mass struggle of the en-
tire working population, agreed to
arbitration and offered a truce.
If the militant policy of struggle,
as displayed by the workers at
the battle of Bulls Run" at the
market on Tuesday, May 22nd,
would have continued, victory
would have resulted instead of be-
trayal.
The Communist Party is the only
party of the working class fighting
for the daily needs of all workers:
for higher wages, for shorter hours,
for the Workers Unemployed and
Social Insurance Bill CHR. 1888
At the same time the Communist
Party carries on the struggle for
the complete abolition of capitalism
and for getting up a revolutionary
and for setting up a revolutionary
eminent.
Join the Communist Party!

CEAN MURRAY, leader of the Irish
~ Communist Party, the only true in
heritor of the great, militant tradition of
Irish revolutionary struggle, is back in
New York after nationwide tour during
which he spoke to numerous audiences,
bringing the message of the Irish fight
for freedom to a host Of Irish -American workers
He will be rendered farewell banquet tomor-
row night in recognition of his splendid achieve
ments here and as expression Of the solidarity
of the American working class with the Irish Com
munist Party. Outstanding leaders of the Com
munist Party will greet him and convey through
him their message Of greeting to the Irish Workers
Comrade Murray has been with us two months
During this period he has done more than any
one else to clarity for the American workers the
problems facing their Irish fellow workers He
has given us true, native, and class insight into
the nature of the struggles of the Irish masses
struggles which until his visit were not sufficiently
known.
Sean Murray will soon be back in his native
land, leading the Irish workers and farmers in their
daily struggles, for the support of which he came
to America. In bidding Comrade Murray farewell
the Daily Worker and the American workers with
whom he has come in contact are stronger in the
knowledge that his visit has created an iron hand
clasp of proletarian solidarity between the United
States and Misunderstanding through the MANY

will strengthen the fight of the masses both of

class movement in the United
States and to the building of the
Irish Communist Party"
Comrade Murray plans to leave
for ireland within two weeks.
1.-THE first thing I shall tell the
workers of Ireland" he declared, lis
the tremendous growth of class
struggles in America, as seen in the
unprecedented wave of strikes. I
shall tell them that the N.R.A.,
which for short while succeeded
in arousing great hopes among many
sections of the workers, has not
solved any of their problems, as the
present strike movement shows;
that the unemployment question
and the suppression of the right to
organize in trade unions, as Witness
ed in Minneapolis and now in
Toledo and elsewhere, proves that
the situation in America is the re-
verse of what the Irish petit-bour-
geois nationalist and the British
reformists try to tell them. 1t is
not Socialism" as these people de-
clare, but an attempt to bolster up
capitalism.
"The outstanding facts in the
American situation, to me, are the
transformation of the Communist
Party from its position of few
years ago-small, isolated from the
basic sections of the working class
into the present Party which is
leading and stimulating the ire
mendous struggles now taking place.
This, am sure, will be great
news to the Irish masses"

Cuban Communists Discuss Work in Unions, Arm,

jority of the working class.
The great political and organiza-
tional weakness of the unions was
also brought forward. as was the
pressing need of strengthening Com
munist fractions in the unions. The
Congress raised the slogan of the
preparation and organization OF
mass political strikes.
IN the basis of a concrete and cor
" rect analysis of the present situa-
ton in Cuba, the Congress called
the attention of the whole Party to
the danger confronting the revolu-
tionary movement in the growing
influence of Grau San Martin and
Guiteras among the working class
and peasantry, especially in the in
terror of the island, as well as the
influence of the reformist leaders
(railroaO. The urgent necessity of
unmasking them and carrying on a
struggle against their influence
counterposing to the 'leftism" of
Grau and Company the program of
a workers and peasants govern
ment, was stressed.
Among the immediate tasks set
by the Congress were: The con-
centration of the Party in the
reformist railroad unions where an
increasing revolutionary opposition
can be found, and concentration
among the port workers as we'll
as among the workers Of certain
strategic enterprises such as tele-
phone, electricity, etc, where the
work of the Party has had only
a weak beginning.
The strengthening of our influ-
ence among the petty bourgeoisie
and especially among the students,
who are going more and more to
the left, was pointed out as an
immediate necessary task.
One = the best reports was that

tant picketing drove the trucks and
the deputized thugs off the streets
with the situation most favorable
for the men, the Dunns in the
strike leadership and the leaders of
the Central Labor Union agreed to
truce without consulting the
strikers. The truce demobilized the
picket lines and laid the basis for
the betrayal as contained in the
settlement agreement.
The strikers had to contend not
only with treachery in their own
ranks on the part of the leaders,
but also with the forces of the gov
eminent which helped to break the
strike. From the very beginning the
Regional Labor Board, acting with
authority of the National Labor
Board sided with the bosses. The
agreement proposed by the Labor
Board is practically word for word
the original proposals of the en-
ployers. The American Federation
of Labor leaders on the Regional
Labor Emery Nelson, Boscoe,
Guy Alexander-consented to this
strike breaking agreement.
The city, county and state mobil-
lied thousands of armed thugs, po-
lice, deputy sheriffs and National
Guardsmen in order to brutally
smash the strike. Hundreds of work
ers, men and women, were dubbed
and jailed. The government, city,
state and federal, were not impartial
in this strike-they were protecting
the swollen profits of the fleet own
ers.
The Farmer-Labor Governor Olsen
took sides with the bosses and called
out the National Guards to intimi-
date the workers and break the
strike, just as the Democratic Gov
ernor Of Ohio did in Toledo. The
Farmer-Labor Government of Min
nesota plays the same role as the
Republican and Democratic admin
istrations in other states-all as the
parties of the capitalist class. The
only difference is that the Farmer
LABOR Party covers up its treachery
with radical phrases, in order to
catch the workers and farmers
votes.
While pretending to be friends of
the workers, in their deeds they act
as trike-breakers. Guy Alexander.
as member of the Regional Labor
Board, consented to the strike
breaking agreement; Congressman
Shoemaker helped to put over this
strike breaking agreement at the
final mass meeting of the strikers;
Governor Olson called out the Ma
tional Guards; and the Farmer-La-
Dor City Attorneys Office will prose-
cute the arrested pickets.
Although this strike was sold out
our struggle is not ended. We have
still to fight for an increase in
wages; we have still to fight for
recognition of the union. We must
prevent discrimination and blacklist
ing against the active strikers: all
strikers must get their Jobs back,
