The prevalence Of such miserable
conditions is only further proof that
the labor provisions of N.R.A. codes
are merely empty promises to the
working class. For out of 100 codes
containing homework provisions, IS
supposedly prohibited homework en-
tirely on the effective date of the
code, while 18 provide for it's elm
ination by specific date after the
code becomes operative. On the
other hand, the way the bosses util-
ize exceptions is indicated by the
fact that the greatest increase in
homework has been in such indus
tries as cotton garment, handker-
chief and knitted outerwear, three
of the ten industries whose codes
prohibit homework but provide "ex-
ceptions necessary to the individual
industry"

MIRA ballyhoo artists are always
lauding N.R.A. for its alleged "aboli-
ton" of sweatShop labor but little
is said about its equally vicious
counterpart-home work. This
method of avoiding minimum wages
and further undermining the wage
level of the entire working class has,
according to capitalist press adn1is-
sions, shown very sharp growth.
Even Mrs. Gilmore M. Herrick, di-
rector of the New York Regional
Labor Board, according to the New
York Times (Oct. "a, 1934), in an
address to the New York Consumers
League, admitted homework to be
'the most pressing industrial issue
before this State this Winter"
Women are working for two,
three and five cents an hour" Mrs.
Herrick declared, and because of
the confusion characterizing home
work prohibitions in some eighty
codes, home workers from New
York to Texas receive 25 per cent of
the wages provided for in Codes"
That this cheap labor is not
confined to New York alone is fur

ing class by the Party unless the
Party conquers a firm base for
itself among the miners, metal
and steel workers, railroad work
ers, auto, marine and textile work
ers. 1t is idle chatter to speak
about the leading role of the
Party without establishing con-
facts with the decisive strata of
the workers, mobilizing these
workers and winning them over
to our side. Talk about the de-
fense of the Soviet Union and
struggle against imperialist war is
nothing but empty phrases unless
systematic work is carried out in
the war industries and in the
ports. -
During the past two months,
there can be recorded a definite in
crease of Party activity on the
waterfront in connection with the
seamen's strike, the longshore wage
negotiations and the election cam
paign. Two new Party dock bull
letins have been issued, thousands of
leaflets and Daily Workers have
been distributed and many open air
meetings held.
Our concentration work among
the longshoremen has been inten-
sified-from the outside. But we
have Jagged behind in the basic
phase of our concentration work,
namely, activization of the long
shore comrades and contacts to
work from the inside, on the docks,
in the local unions, among their
friends and fellow workers, etc.
I'VE have not sufficiently pressed
and guided the longshore comrades
towards initiating small job actions
which are the key to winning the
longshoremen and setting them into
motion against the bureaucrats and
bosses. We have not centered our
efforts on building solid personal
contact with the longshoremen, to-
wards knitting out people into func-
tioning dock nuclei, into active rank
and file groups and committees.
OrganizationaI Gains Made
Only during recent weeks have
we begun, on number of docks,
to overcome these weaknesses, to
change our approach and methods
of work-and to get organizssional
results. The Section Co1nittees OF

3 SECTIONS ENTER COMPETITION PACT
In WATERFRONT RECRUITING CAMPAIGN

Section l, 3 and 7 of the New
York District Of the Communist
Party have entered into a Socialist
competition in their concentration
work on the New York waterfront,
the three sections announced yes
terday.
In making the announcement, the
following statement was issued over
the signatures of the organizers of
the three sections, j. Brandt for
Section l, j. Roberts for Section Z
and j. Robinson for Section 3:
Again the longshoremen of the
Atlantic Coast have suffered great
betrayal!
once more the corrupt Ryan ma
chine in the International Long
shoremen's Association has succeed
ed in putting over a sell-out agree
ment which spurns the basic de-
mands and needs of the rank and
file. The agreement Incorporates
none of the real concessions gained
on the West Coast and leaves the
longshoremen in a relatively worse
position than under the old agree
ment.
why is it that, in the face of the
general militancy and discomfort
which characterizes the mood of the
East Coast longshoremen, Ryan has
again succeeded in betraying them?
Because there is no effective op-
position movement of the rank and
file inside the LILA. and because of
the weakness and, in most cases,
existence of Communist Party
nuclei on the docks and Communist
Party fractions in the local unions.
This is clearly brought out in
the light of the experiences in San
Francisco, where the longshoremen
were able to defeat Ryan's attempts
to sell them out, and were able to
win important concessions from the
bosses and their arbitration board,
precisely because they fought under
militant rank and file leadership
guided by the Communist Party
through its longshore members.
Winning the Longshoremen
1T is the foremost responsibility
of our Party in New York generally
and the waterfront sections parti-
cularly to win the longshoremen for
militant struggle against their
bosses and misleaders, against the
imperialist war prepsrations-to win
the lcngshoremen for Communism.

A statement calling on the rank

L., for determined struggle
against the intimidation and at
tacks made by the leaders Of the
union upon individual members
who favor the united action of all
shoe workers, has been issued by I.

ers Union, Independent, which pro-
posed the united front against the
bosses.
On Monday, Oct. %, registered
letters were sent to the Joint Coun-
Gil of the Boot and Shoe Workers

down a program of activity fol

Gus menace Of wage cuts, mass lay
offs and discrimination.

with Local %.
Addressed Lasters
A committee Of the U. S. L. w. U.
went to the hall, 592 Fulton Street,
where the lasters' local Of the Boot
and Shoe Workers Union met last
Wednesday, and asked for permis-
sion to address the meeting of last
ers and heelers, on the question of
united front and also requesting
the privilege Of presenting a dupli-
cate copy of the communication
sent to the local on this very ques-
ton.
While the committee waited out
side, worker, Rosalino D'Aversa
was beaten up by one of the clique
for daring to ask the question,
What is the order Of business for
tonight's meeting"
The clique evidently knew that
this brother is prepared to ask why
tne united front communication is
not recorded and why the officials
ignored the communication. A
commotion in the hall followed and
most of the lasters and heelers left
the meeting in disgust.
The membership of the union is
getting ever more dissatisfied BY
the fashion in which the leaders Of
the union conduct the business o1
the union.
1t has been reported that nearly
hundred workers out of the BOX
employed by Palper and Deliso, al
Broadway and Eighth Street, have
been fired, and the officials of the
union have done absolutely nothing
about it.
