A Call to Scientists

A number of distinguished French
and British scientists have issued q
call to the scientists of the world
inviting them to a conference for
"the maintenance and protection of
free science" to be held in London
during September The appeal, in
part. reads as follows:
With increasing concern we have
observed that, as result of the po-
litical development in many coun-
tries, the freedom of science has
been threatened or entirely de-
stroyed. We have seen how scien-
tific investigations have been sup
pressed, or their results falsified, in
order to make them serviceable to
the dominant political doctrine. We
have seen, for instance in Ger
many, how doctrines unsubstan-
tiated by science or entirely dis
credited by it have been elevated to
the rank CT useful knoWledqc
through pressure from the state, il
these doctrines appeared useful for
political aims.
I'VE have verified the fact that
in various countries science is sub
ordinsted to the need of war in
dustry and to the propagation OF
a chauvinistic theology. From the
last war we have learned the de-
vastating effect of a war period or
scientific research, and we are con-
WINGED that at present the very
threat of a war danger hampers
free scientific investigation and re-
duces it to the function of slave
to war industry.
"In Germany the exact sciences
have been openly degraded to job
bling for war industries. During tbs
education of young physicists and
chemists much time is devoted tc
lectures and practical exercises ir

grabbed the shovel. He wanted to
take a swing at him. With all the
power Of his muscles he stuck the
iron blade into the heap of coal. A
blast struck his sweaty face as the
mouths of the boilers opened to
swallow the coal. The blood was
stirred in him. He showered the fire
with curses.

himself. But in the morning. when

might not get another one, and
there was chance here to advance
himself. He'd have to stick to it.
1t took him couple of days to
get used to the work and learn the
ms and outs. But Weber. the chief
mechanic, kept on grumbling.

said to himself.
One day he burst out: 81 don't

Weber spoke without a stop. Cliff

He wasn't sore any more at Weber

the locals first business agent.
In spite of the mo strike" rules
of wartime days, and the opposi-
ton of the top leaders of the
Amalgamated and the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, Local No. 464,
composed of sausage makers in "a
plants, struck for increased wages.

Oscar Nelson, then federal con-
ciliator for Chicago. and now an Of
fetal of the Chicago Federation Of
Labor and an Alderman in the Chi
cago City Council, with the assist
ance of Dennis Lane of the Anal
gamated broke the strike, which
they branded as illegal" and out
law" AS business agent and leader
of the strike, Pfieffer had his sec
ond dose of the A. F. of L. be-
trayal policy.
Blacklisted from the Yards
He was blacklisted from the yards
after the war; he turned to plumb
ing. He remained in the Plumbers
Union till 1898, when he was ex-
PEELED as a Communist.
Out of a job, he joined the I'm
employed Councils and fought for
the relief of his fellow workers. He
was a member of the steering COM
mittee of the Oct. 81, 1882, Hunger
March through the Loop which
smashed a so per cent relief cut.
Pfieffer was one of group which
took over the Irving Park Relief
Station for a solid week before that
march, refusing to leave, staying
night and day, fighting relief cases.
He was also on the negotiating
committee, which met for two days
with the relief commission, and
which, backed by the mass pressure
Of thousands of workers preparing
for the Hunger March, forced the
repeal of the ordered cut.
Jailed for Demanding Milk for
Babies
Pfieffer has also learned what
capitalist justice means. Jailed on
several occasions, he served To-
day sentence for demanding milk
for babies.
Pfieffer is still active in the strug-
giles of employed as well as unem-
ployed workers. He was arrested for
picketing during the Stewart Die
Cast strike in his neighborhood.
When asked what he intended to
do when and if elected to the State
Assembly, Hans said the following:
I'm going to fight against every
thing that is for the bosses and
against the workers. I'm against the
sales tax, I'm going to demand that
the school teachers get their back
pay, I'm going to fight foreclosures.
Also, I'll put up a scrap to see that
the small store owners get the I'M
employed relief orders. instead of
the big chain stores. OF course, the
line of the Communist Party, it's
state and local platform, will be my
guide.
Will Keep on Fighting
Being in the State Assembly
won't keep me out Of the struggles
Of the workers. I'm going to keep
right on with the fight both inside
and out of the state capitol"

NEW YORK.-Iauis Walsh, strik-
ing laundry worker, was arrested yes
terday when police attacked a picket
line in front Of the Giant Laundry,
West l55th St. Washington Heights,
where $50 workers, the majority Of
them Negroes, are on strike.
Hearing has been set for Walsh
for this morning, 9 o'clock, in the

dry Workers Industrial Union, which

railroading Of Walsh to jail.
The strikers have been out 100 per
cent since Jan. 8, for a minimum

iected by the officials Of that union,
who refused to see strike commit

returned unopened a registered let
ter without bringing it to the atten-
ton Of the membership of the local.

AFL Officials Fear
Navy I'd. Workers;
Flee Own Meeting
Sentiment for Strik e
Against Is Pc. Cut and
LayOff Grows

NEW YORK. - Fleeing from a
meeting they themselves called, Off
oials Of the Metal Trades Council of
The American Federation Of Labor
gave themselves another black eye as
far as Brooklyn Navy Yard workers
are concerned.
Almost one thousand workers Of the
Yard had come to the meeting in
Building 27 Of the huge ship-repairing
works Wednesday evening in response
TO a cali from the union misleaders
printed in the columns of the Sun
day Daily News. The meeting. orig
nally organized by Thomas Mahoney
Of the A. F. of L. metal council, was
called to discuss action against the
10 per cent wage cut put through by
the Roosevelt administration this
summer and TO work out some plan
Of combating the projected lay-off
Of 1900 Of the workers.
Militant Union Warns Workers
Realizing that the Metal Trades
Council leaders had called the meet
ing only in order to head off the
growing strike movement among the
Yard workers, the militant Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union is
sued a leaflet to the men calling upon
them to organize fight for imme-
date return of the Is per cent wage
cut, unemployment insurance or G.
w, A. jobs at S120 an hour for the
iaid-off men.
Mortally afraid that the workers
would insist upon strike action or
some other militant form of struggle
against the cut and the proposed lay
off, the A. F. Of L. leaders fled the
meeting hall and retired to a restau-
rant Phil Engler, chairman of the
Metal Trades Council and delegate to
Local $50 Of the International Asso-
citation Of Machinists, refused to see
the workers, leaving with the other
officials to the restaurant. When
workers followed the union leaders
into their hide-out, they were told
that the meeting" in the restaurant
was CLOSED" one.
Regulars Get Less Than C.WA.
Another fact that has reused the
workers to q fighting pitch is the fact
boilennakers and maChinists working
on C.W-A. Jobs receive S1.2O an hour,
while the regulars whose wages have
ben cut are receiving only 90 cents an
hour for the same work. This situa-
ton has lent added point to the de-
mand Of the workers for the rescind-
ing Of the Is per cent cut.
The Steel and Metal Workers
Union is calling the boiIermskers'
and machinists' locals to demand Of
their shop delegates that a mass
meeting of all the workers in these
two crafts be called where the cut
and scheduled lay-Off will be dis
oussed.

tablish Federal jurisdiction in cases
IN which a victim" disappears for
more than three years - presuming
that in such cases the victim would
have been transported across State
lines. Another would make it Fed
eral crime for a fugitive witness to
cross State lines. The program also
seeks closer supervision of paroled
persons and would declare that in
criminal trials "the defense of an
ahbi shall not be put forward unless
notice is given in advance" Most
significant of the conglomeration,
however, is Copeland's proposal to
consolidate all "inyestigatiye" agen-
cies Of the Federal Government.
Anti-Labor Raids
Attorney General Cummings of the
Department of Justice recently en-
dorsed this suggestion, citing the
need of a National Police force. Thus
the red-raids and the anti-labor
drives and deportations of the De-
partment of Labor and the Depart
ment of Justice, would be co-ordi-
mated under a real war set-up. Fur
therlnore, Copeland would allow each
of the 48 States to name two in
dividuals who would be trained by
the Department of Justice and then
he returned to the State for police"
work. Copeland mentioned that this
would make more effective the Fed
eral flngerprinting service - some
thing which undoubtedly would be
used against blacklisted strikers.
The whole program obviously would
back up the use of force by employers
against labor. Copelands measures
say nothing about denying machine
guns or any other weapons to depu-
tized thugs or other private soldiers.
Less than dozen Senators heard
most Of Copeland's fumbling, long
winded explanation of his program.
One of them, however, Immediately
gathered the import Of it. Senator
McKeller, Democrat of Tennessee, in
terrupted Copeland to say.

But instead of explaining how the
evils were to be avoided, Copeland
continued by listing the numbers of
pistols in the United States. He said
there were probably Is TO 20 millions
and didn't mention how many are
in the hands of private armies and
