Company Union Head Protests
Irving Robbins, leader of the

George E. Kamm. president of the

fought against the plebiscite. He

The Taxi Drivers Union of Great

Over $4,000 Ballots
Cast in Local y
Elections Thursday
Left Wing Believed To
Have Made Big Gain;
1000 Ballots Void

NEW YORK. - Despite the
vicious campaign carried on
during the prediction of the
Dress makers Union, Local ~, by
LovestOnites, together with the
right wing, the left wing can
didates polled IS per cent of the
workers votes, an increase over
their vote in the last elections.
Although none Of the left wing
candidates got into office, Krawetz
polled 4.233 votes against Gold
STEMS 1855 for the executive
board Office. At the election for
the managers office, Stamper,
left wing candidate polIed 1853
votes while the right wing candi-
dates polled from 5000 to 1000
votes for each Office.
NEW YORK.-Over $4,000 dress
makers turned out at IL different
polling places to cast their votes
in the Local % international

elections on Thursday, according te
reports yesterday
In these elections, despite the
systematic intimidation of the en-
tire Joint Board, the Lovestoneites
(who had their representatives from
different trades on hand at the
polling stations, the Left Wing op-
position was believed to have gained
substantial percentage Of the
votes, as well as considerable gain
over their total vote during the last
elections.
Final results were not yet tab
ulated yesterday, The large num-
Der of votes cast will probably take
several days more to count, and
about three or four days before the
final results will be available.
Over 1000 void ballots are among
those which were cast, Local %
members declared yesterday. This
is due, they said, to the large states
and to the fact that many new
corners, voting for the first time In
the dressnlakers' elections, were I'M
able to follow perfectly all the in
tricate directions of the ballot.

NEW YORK-In spite of 81 ar
rests to date, eleven workers of the
Karl Brothers Fruit Market, 1921
65th St., Brooklyn, are still holding
their strike strong under the leader
ship Of the Food Workers Industrial
Union.
They are striking for Union recog-
milton, increased wages, decreased
hours from 80 to 81, and no layofs
without consent of the Union. The
strikers are receiving great support
from the neighborhood
An attempt by the A. F. of L.,
local 1888, to obtain an injunction
against the pickets and to terror
ize their families, has failed.
The Food Workers Union is also

Corp, and the food market at 298

keeping picket lines solid.

New York Communists
In Convention; BrOwder
And Krumbein Report

, ting and reactionary role of the Ne
gro reformists Of the NAA.CP.
In connection with this impor-
tant phase of the Communist
Partys activities, the convention
voted unanimously to send pro-
test telegram to Governor Miller
in Birmingham, where five of the
Scottsboro boys have been placed
in solitary confinement.
An accurate view of the broad
working class character of the
convention can be gained from
glance at the official composition
of the 1874 delegates present. There
were 154 men and 3S women; 1874
employed workers and So jobless;
% Negroes and ITO white work
ers, with one Chinese worker, Of
ficially present. Seventy-two of
the delegates were native Amer
leans, while 118 were foreign-born.
Sixty-three Of the delegates were
members of the Trade Union
Unity League; 81 belonged to the
American Federation of Labor;
Isl were members of mass organ
izations.
Of this total, it is significant
that fully 55 were elected directly
from shop units. Other delegates,
although they were members of
shop nuclei, were elected to be del
/ egates to the convention by their
sections, etc.
Growth of Shop Nuclei
One delegate, in discussing the
splendid advances in shop work,
said:
1T is only this type of Boil
shevik work carried on now.
which can swell our chests with
pride"
The announcement that shop
nuclei in the New York district
had increased during the last pc
Rod from 80 to 85-more than a
100 per cent increase - brought
forth loud applause and the real
lzation of the delegates that this
was but the beginning of con-
tinued and consistent concentra-
ton in the shops and factories.
5000 Greet Opening
NEW YORK. - Eight thousand
workers greeted the opening of the
District 2 Convention of the Com.
munist Party Friday night at the
Bronx Coliseum and heard Ear
Browder, general secretary of the
Communist Party; Charles Krum.
bein, district organizer; James w
Ford and others, speak on the role
of the Communist Party.
Browder, reviewing the tasks O.
the Communists in the rapidly
sharpening revolutionary struggles
emphasized that "the only way on
OF the crisis for the toiling masse
; is the revolutionary way out-tht
; establishment of a socialist societ,
' through workers and farmers

At one point in Browder's speed
he was interrupted by the entranc
of about so taxi strikers led by thei
organizer, Joseph Gilbert, precede,

e arrival Workers stood up on thei
! chairs and for several minute

After Browder had finished speak

Yet in the most important
department of life-in the

we are appallingly, cr;minally

But we hoot with derision II
an alienist tells us of the flaw

We think that psychology is a

that a human being is insane

And we think that an adult

isn't. He's as dangerous and

And should be treated accord

No sane person would commit
an atrocity upon a child. 1t Is
not only against all civilized
training but it is contrary to the
normal instincts of healthy flesh

The slightest evidence Of such
a tendency is unqueStionable
proof of a diseased brain.
And it is as absurd to expect
that such a disease can be cured
or controlled by threats as to ex-
pect a leper to be healed by a

It is a shameful blot on our
own record if "a previous rec

Every citizen should know the
fundamental facts of criminal

realize that it is as much his
