Hudson Local
Of Auto Union
Leaves A. FL.
Greer and Byrd Cause
Split AS Company
Union Move
Especial to the DAILY worker

DETROIT, Mich, July 20. = The
Hudson local of the A. F. of L. yes
terday voted to secede from the A
F. of L. and to set up an indie
pendent organization.
The split, which was predicted by
the Daily Worker after the A. F. of
L. Auto Conference last month, is
a move not toward militant action
b ut toward company unionism
headed by two notorious A. F. Of
l.. misleaders, Arthur Greer, Pres
ident of the local and Richard Byrd,
so-called labor representative on the
Automobile Labor Board.
1t is believed that they will make
efforts to spread their new organ
ization to other factories. About
two hundred workers attended last
nights meeting. Originally there
were several thousand in the Hud-
son local but many have dropped
out in disgust.
In order to make sure Of putting
over his program, Greer saw to it
that those workers known as mill
tants were not informed of the
meeting, nevertheless several mill
tants were present and the rank and
file committee of the Hudson local
distributed a leaflet exposing the
maneuvers of Greer and calling for
the building of one industrial union
after it had been voted to leave the

West Coast
Conference To Combat
Deportations Meets
in N. Y. Tonight

NEW YORK. -Vehement protests
continue to issue from working class
organizations throughout the coun-
try against the suppression of West
Coast workers organizations and
their activities-suppression which
continues though the general strike
is at an end.
The police persecution and mob
terror loosed against strikers on the
West Coast and elsewhere during the
past month will be further protested
by scores of mass demonstrations
throughout the nation on August l
and August 4. The fascist measures
pursued by government agencies
against strikers will be condemned
as part of the preparations to ham
mer the working class into line for
the growing possibility of war.
The protests, letters, kilograms
and formally adopted resolutions
are directed largely to Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins, to Mayor
Angelo Rossi of San Francisco and
to Governor Merriam of California.
Preparations are being completed
in New York for a conference to-
night at the Manhattan Lyceun,
66 East 4th st, to take up the
fight against the deportation drive
for which the West Coast strike has
given a p-etext to the Roosevelt
government.
The Provisional Committee OF
Trade Unions, set up here to sup
port the general strike, is respon-
sible for calling the conference and

Union Accepted at
Big Meeting

NEW YORK. The struggle
against the I.R.T. wage-cut pension
scheme was brought definitely to a
head Friday night at meeting OF
$50 subway workers in the COM
pany union meeting hall, Anderson
Ave, and 18TH Street.
Worker after worker took the
floor and exposed the pension as
further wage cutting scheme. The
fact that the foremen and COM
pany union delegate forced the men
to sign the pension plan through
threats of immediate dismissal was
exposed by the workers.
Company union delegates, at
tempting to placate the men with
explanations, were met with boos
and jeers and cries of "sell-out" and
rat"
Union Leader Speaks
Paul Green, organizer for the
Transport Workers Union asked for
the floor and was denied the right
to speak by Callahan and Conley,
company representatives. The work.
ers demanded that Green be heard
and he took the floor over the heads
of the company stools to the tire
mendous applause Of the audience.
Green condemned the I. r. T. and
the fake pension plan. He was
cheered at every point of his speech,
and especially when he demanded
that the signatures of the workers
obtained on the pension plan
through intimidation be returned.

The following program was out
lined by Green:

in the Communist Party, U. s.. A.,
is sufficient basis for deporta-
ton and in fact opposite results

immigration service to depOrt

To Morgan's militant objections
to linking the laws for deportation
of felons with those concerning
political opinion, to raising the cry
criminal alien" as Hitler raised
the cry criminal Jews and criminal
Marxists," Miss Perkins could only
say, Il had no idea you wanted a
demonstration here today"
When reminded of General john
sons melting speeches and state
ments on the West Coast while the
general strike was at its height.
Miss Perkins became humorous and
said, II thought you people believe
in free speech. Don't ask me about
General Johnson, I am not the
keeper of his conscience"
Makes Some Admissions
Miss Perkins, who denied any
knowledge of the vigilantes, seemed
very will informed on every incident
in connection with the general
strike. She mentioned the accurate
date of the killing of two militant
workers, which she of course felt
was extremely unfortunate" she
stated the fact that the disciplined
order which marked the strike until
the troops were called on July was
tribute to the strikers" She
bewailed the fact that taking the
vote of the striking seamen was a
very complicated situation because

Frisco Fight
Subscribed
By Browder
Ovation at Bronx Rally
Creets Leader Back
from West Coast
CA full account of Earl Browd-
eric enaach annoars en- na0a ono l


NEW YORK-A tremendous ova-
ton lasting several minutes greeted
Earl Browder, general secretary of
the Communist Party, just returned
] from the San Francisco strike front,
when he arose to speak at the great
Nuenzenberg banquet at Bronx
Coliseum Friday night.
Browder had arrived in New York
only a few hours previous from San
Francisco, where he had been
throughout the period Of the gen
eraI strike giving personal direction
and leadership to the Party.
THE Communist Party has not
ceased to function for one single
hour" Browder declared, in speak
ing of the activities of the Party
during the reign of fascist terror.
AS soon as the printing plant of
the Western Worker was burned by
vigilantes, miniature copies of the
Western Worker appeared from %
places.
All units of the Communist
Party are meeting regularly; some
meet every day"
Browder pointed out how the
events in America today and the
problems of the American working
class are closely linked up with the
struggles of the workers in Central
Europe.
Out of the events in San Fran
cisco the workers are learning what
fascism means and how to fight it,
Browder pointed out. The activities
of the storm troopers of California
is not sign that the working class
is defeated.
you may think from what is
said in the capitalist press that
fascism registered victory in San
Francisco" Browder said. True,
the official family of the American
Federation of Labor were able to
break the strike. The workers re-
ceived a blow delivered jointly by
the A. F. of L. leaders, the vigi-
lantes and the government forces.
But it would be a mistake to think
that the workers were driven back
defeated"
Workers in California have mo
sense of defeat" Browder pointed
out.
The Communist Party lives and
fights stronger than ever before.
THE fires of this struggle Browder
said, have welded together the
California working class and the
Communist Party"
Browder analyzed the San Fran
cisco general strike as an outpost
of greater struggles to come in the
United States and said that there
will be hundreds of San Franchises
before this crisis is over"
That the Communist Party was
the one great factor in the strug-
gle on the West Coast that united
the workers against the ship own
ers was clearly shown by Browder.
Out of the great Frisco strike the
Communist Party has emerged bet
ter able to lead the masses in future
struggles.

in strength and organization. The
nearer the danger Of war, the
greater must be the determination
of the masses to fight war.
"The hour Of the victory of the
proletariat is near. The day ap-
breaches when red banners will fly
in Berlin. International solidarity
helped to free Dimitroff, Popoff,
Taneff. Now this same international
strength must free Thaelmann. 1t
must free Rem and Won Oasietsky
and thousands of other anti-fascist
fighters.
Nov more than ever is the unity
of the workers, the farming masses,
the intellectuals and the oppressed
middle class necessary. But they
cannot march forward without
leadership. Therefore the strength
of the Communist Party of our
country, the strength of the inter
national Communist Parties must
grow-to lead the workers interna-
tionally.

under the banner of the united
front of the Communist Party and
the Socialist Party. In Czecho-
slovakia Socialist and Communist
workers are forming united fronts
in many districts. The same thing
is happening in the Saar territory.
Comrades, we must never forget one
thing: To prevent war, to defeat
fascism, to keep the world from
sinking into the morass of berbar-
ism, chaoS-we must establish the
united frontl
In vain our enemies try to con-
denim us as criminals. We proudly
stand comparison with them. The
Judgment will not be difficult, I am
certain. Why do they call us GRIM
inals? Because we stand and
fight for a society of free peoples,
standing on free ground, where the
sources of life and existence are in
our own control. We fight against
the murder, the starvation, the
criminal wars, the hunger and
misery of millions of workers.
against the rotting corruption
which is capitalism.

Perkins attempted to persist in her
statement in a letter to the Inter

Committee for Protection of Foreign

had neither added nor subtracted
from the statutes as interpreted by

she said nothing.

Henry Hart of the National Com

of smashing the Communist Party,
she smiled sweetly and said, II

But Miss Perkins was forced to
admit that her statement to Gov

limitations of the immigration
law" that her answer to Governor
Merriam was speedy attempt to
give him "the utmost as to what
we could do about the Commu-

Frances Perkins, Secretary of
Labor, left in charge of the des-
TIMES of the workers of this country
by President Roosevelt absent on
his warship cruise to the outposts
of American Imperialism, will do
nothing to counteract her provoca-
tive telegram to Gov. Merriam
which endorsed the fascist gang

deportation drive against the for
eign born on the west coast, she

Committee for the Protection of
Foreign Born, General Defense
Committee of the I. w. w, and
the National Committee for the De-
Tense of Political Prisoners.
Evasive yet firm, Miss Perkins
made it very clear that she will
not interfere in the slightest with
the activities of the vigilantes. In
fact, she knows nothing about the
vigilantes except what she reads in
the newspapers and the Depart
ment of Labor does not take action
against any group of private citi-
zens at the request of any other
private group" In spite of this
she was equally firm in stating that
the 101 workers held for deporta-
ton out of the total 373 arrested,
are held on warrants by Federal
Authorities regardless of ihow they
were arrested or who brought them
in"

the employers wanted to wait until
"the company union ships came
into port to vote" Miss Perkins
gave us one reason why the Depart
ment of Labor could not investigate
the activities of the vigilantes, the
fact that the board appointed by
the President was already in power
to make any investigation they
thought necessary, but she admitted
that the board was too busy to
take care of that matter now.
Miss Perkins may think that she
made no statement to the joint
committee last Friday. But she
made very eloquent statement as
one of the outstanding enemies of
the working class.
The International Labor Defense
and the Committee for the Protec-'
ton of Foreign Born are prepared
to meet Miss Perkins provocative
silence. They are prepared to ex-
pose her hypocrisy by forcing her,
through a tremendous campaign of
mass defense and mass pressure to
revoke the deportation proceedings
against those already held, to put
an end to the red-baiting deporta-
ton drive, to release all the i'm
prisoned fighters on the West
Coast.
Miss Perkins silence must be an
swered by roar of mass protest
Miss Perkins must be shown that
the workers of this country hold

I'VE see in this country the
American working class going for

is trying to save itself from destruc-

against the workers.
1--WE, the Communists, the revolu-
tionary workers and members of the
revolutionary trade unions, do not
see in this attempt to crush the
struggles of the working class with
fascism a defeat for the workers.
I'VE see the working class going
forward to great victories.
I'VE do not see in the struggles
in San Francisco, Minneapolis,
Toledo and Alabama, in the strug-
giles of the Negroes in the South, as
the Socialist Party leaders see, iso-

Stachel said.
''The fight to free Thaelmann
is not only a fight to free the great

The fight to free Thaelmann is

we are struggling to fight and to

what we in the Black Belt work up

Mother BlOOr on Paris Congress
Mother Bloor, veteran 72-year old
head of the Paris delegation, an
nounced that the group sailing the

can women-"from the auto plants
of Detroit, the farms Of Nebraska,
the plantations of Alabama. We are
going to meet French, British, Ger
man, Austrian women.
Our Own Capitol in Berlin"
Will Muenzenberg's fiery address,
saved for the very last, kept the
10000 workers rooted in their chairs
to his last words, despite the fact
that he delivered it at late hour
and in German, a language known
only to a small part of the assem-
bled workers.
After June 80" Muenzenberg
declared, "the world thought that
the Hitler regime could not sink
lower, become more depraved or a
greater world menace. But now, the
events in Austria prove that Hitler
will not only set the ReichStag on
fire but, to save himself and CAPT.
talisn, he is ready to set the whole
world on fire!
Hitler's Position Desperate
1.-THE capitalist press sheds croco-
ollie tears against Hitler, hypo-
critically forgetting that these
crimes are the natural and ineyi-
table outcome of the system which
they themselves uphold. The only
force against Hitler and the fascist
capitalist Germany is the solidarity
of workers the world over.
Hitler is responsible for the
present events in Austria. His posi-
tion-the position of German capt.
talism-is desperate. He can say
what in 1914 was said by the
Kaiser's admirals and generals:
Before we go down, we will plunge
the entire world into war;
TO save themselves, they must
have a new war And fbiS danger
remains as long as capitalism re-
mains. Its whole policy drives to-
ward a new war. Hitler means the
organization on massive scale of
crime. He means the organization
Of criminals
But the workers will not again
go into another war to die for
capitalism. If we go, we will go to
die for our own cause, the cause
Of Socialism. But we do not intend
to die. We intend to live-for So
cialisrn!
The events of June 80 destroyed
Hitler's mass base in Germany. And
the last few days have destroyed
his main chance of aid from the
outside, from fascist Italy.
Red Forces Grow in Strength

BUSINESS of the moment, just as in

Since most of these recruits were

Gus that either the organization and

at fault, or they failed utterly to

Why should there be such diff

In the matter of subscriptions,
Philadelphia has sent in So since
