those Socialist Parties which had
not already entered the united front
to join in actions for the support
of the Spanish workers.
In the United States, besides let
tiers to the National Executive Com
mittee of the Socialist Party, the
Daily Worker addressed numerous
appeals for united action-from the
very first day of the fighting on the
last day of the fighting, and re-
peatedly afterwards. There was no
direct response.
Stormy Discussions
Stormy discussions featured the
SLI's Paris sessions. Great pres
sure was being exerted upon all So
cialist Parties by the working masses
for the united front, especially on
the concrete question TO support to
the Spanish fighters.
There we're three distinct group
ings. On the one hand, there we're
the Parties who had already estab-
lished the united front with the
Communist Parties France, Italy.
Spain, the Saar, who we're for joint
international action. There were
others, such as Belgium and Aus
tria, who we're for no international
joint actions, but for an ending of
the ban on national negotiations.
Lastly, there we're the Party official
doms who were bitter against any
united action. These were primarily
the Scandinavian Parties, Holland
and the British Labor Party.
OF these latter PARTIES particu-
larry the Scandinavian and Dutch,
the leaders berated the Spanish
workers for having taken up arms

This concludes series of articles
on the present situation in SPAIN
IN THE very midst of the stirring
heroic battles of the Spanish
workers, the Communist Interna-
tional appealed to the Labor
and Socialist International for
immediate united front actions
in support of the embattled
Spanish proletariat. On the bar
ricades, Socialists and Commu-
nists were shedding their blood to
stem the rise of fascism. Where
the united front had been solidly
achieved, as in ASturias province,
the workers were able to show the
world marvels of revolutionary &C
complishment. At the very height
of the widespread fighting in Spain.
workers throughout the world felt
that flesh of their flesh was in ac-
ton, and ached to come to their aid.
To give living expression to this
urgent, overwhelming desire for
united solidarity actions. the Com
munist International took the ini-
tiative.
On Oct. II, both the Communist
International and Young Commu-
mist Interna tional addressed the So
cialist world bodies very sharply,
putting forward the need for i'm
mediate, joint action on an inter
national scale.
"a victory for the fascist -monar-
chist reaction in Spain would" said
the Communist Internationars wire
to the Socialist International. "-af-
ter the seizure of power by fascism
in Germany and Austria-mean not
only immeasurable torture for the
workers and peasants of Spain, but
would signify heavy blow for the
international proletariat.
Solely the fighting unity of the
working class of all countries can
bring real help to the Spanish work

ARTICLE II

DEN GOLD, leader of the Fur
~ Workers Industrial Union, de-
elares that the N. R. A. investiga-
ton of the Fur Manufacturers Code
Authority "has revealed a shocking
state of affairs in the fur industry
and in the code authority"
Gold asserts that "the investiga-
ton proved conclusively that the
legalization of contracting the code
has brought about condition where
a large number of contracting sweat
shops operate, despite the code pro-
visions, on piece-work basis, 40
and so hours, Saturdays and holi-
days, paying to the exploited work
ers half and less than half the
wages provided in the Code.
ut is established" he continued,
that a large number of manufac-
turers have taken advantage of the
legalization of contracting to cut
down their own working stats and
to ship out their work to contrac-
tors violating the Code and the
agreement, and particularly to set
up irresponsible contracting shops
in small towns and villages of New
Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsyl-
vania where the workers are ex-
plotted in the most vicious manner.
THE evidence before the investi-
cation showed conclusively that
during the eight-months' existence
of the Code Authority the number
of fur shops violating the generally
accepted working standards has
tremendously increased despite the
fact that the Code Authority is en-
ploying an army of so-called in
vestigators. 1t was proven that the
so-called Labor Compliance Divi-
sion of the Code Authority, under
the direction of its chief inspector
has not only failed to stop violations
of hour and wage provisions of the
code, but has, on the contrary, en-
couraged such violations, covered up
and shielded the violators.

ut was further proven that the
Code Authority, being body of
employers. cannot therefore be in
terested in maintaining decent
working conditions in the shops.

the supervision of its chief inspector,

ers, and bar the road to Spanish
and world reaction. At this decisive
moment, when the bourgeoisie is
endeavoring to shatter one of the
fighting troops of the international
working class, the Spanish proleta-
riat, the Communist International
calls upon its sections to join the
other labor organizations in the or
ganization of mass meetings and
demonstrations in solidarity with
the Spanish working class"
In order not to permit this APP
peal at this critical moment, to be
treated as communication to be
answered in due course by the So
cialist International, the c. l. de-
clared it was delegating Comrades
Marcel Cachin and Maurice Thorez,
leaders of the Communist Party of
France, to negotiate Immediately
with the leaders of the Labor and
Socialist International.
-Four days later, in response to
this appeal, an historic meeting took
place at Brussels between the two
Communist delegates, and Emil Van
dervelde (Belgiun1l. and Friedrich
Adler (Austria), for the executive
committee of the Isl. The full
text Of the stenographic report of
these conversations was published
by the French Communist daily,
Humanite.''
Action Urged
AT the outset, Vandervelde stated
that their two representatives we're
present only to listen and transmit
their report. Cachin and Thorez
declared immediate action was
necessary internationally, for while
they spoke Socialists and Commu-
nists were being shot down by the
Spanish fascists.
Cachin declared. I'VE pose the

diate action in favor of our Spanish

I'm view of this situation, We

Relief to Negro JObless
Is Cut-P0lice Burn Out
Unemployed Colony

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 2s.-In
answer 10 attacks upon their relief
standards and the fascist threats
of Mayor Davis to break up every
demonstration Of the unemployed,
Cleveland workers will hold a city
wide demonstration and mass
march on Saturday, Dec. d. in sup
port Of the National Congress for
Unemployment Insurance.
The Unemployment Councils have
appealed to all workers organiza-
tons to officially endorse the
march. and for all groups to mo-
Billie their membership for partici-
patton. The marchers will present
a viewpoint program of relief de-
mands to the city, calling for:
Extra cash Winter relief of $40
for families, SIS for single persons;
2-For federal unemployment in
surance-the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill;
3-Against the proposed per
cent sales tax;
mo discrimination against Ne
groes, women and young workers;
against Mayor Davis attacks
on the iobless.
Hundreds of unemployed living in
shacks which they themselves had
built on "Whiskey Island" were
hrutally attacked by police, who set
fire to the colony here this week.
Many workers lost their last meager
personal belongings in the attack
This attack followed refusal of the
unemployed to move to the Wood
yard-the municipal lodging house,
where they are forced to work with
out pay for rotten soup and lodg-
ings.
4 In the Negro neighborhood of
Cleveland, the relief administration
has already started relief reduc-
lions. Rent allowance for many
has been reduced from So to Sc per
month. The food budget has also
been reduced.

JObIess Poisoned

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 28.-Reports
from all parts of the State show
widespread poisoning of unem-
ployed workers. particularly chill
dren, by canned relief meat issued
By the Federal government through
the State Relief Commission.
Investigation shows that the
canned meat contains germs sim
liar to ptomaine bacteria. This
meat came from the Western
drought area-obviously from dying
or dead cattle. Over $4,000 cans of
the meat has been returned from
Toledo to the State Relief Com
mission. The alarm spread fast and
unemployed all over Ohio refused
the meat, demanding fresh meat.
This demand was won in Cleve-
land.
The unemployed must reject the
canned meat and fight against the
whole system of handouts and
commissary baskets which exists in
many Ohio communities. Through
the commissary system all the
spoiled and old foods are fed to the
jobless. The fight must go on for
cash relief. Immediate local actions
must be organized to bring pressure
on the State Legislature now in ses-
sion. These demonstrations must
demand 4 per cent increase i'll the
relief budget due to the rise in liv-
ing costs. Full support should be
given all the demands placed before
Governor White on Nov. 20 by the
State Unemployment Council Con-
ference for 4 per cent increase in
relief uniform cash relief, recog-
milton of unemployed workers COM
n1ittees at all relief stations, no dis
