Revision of Labor Provisions


The program recommends revi-
sion of the N. R. A. labor provisions
pertaining to child labor, minimum
wages, maximum hours and collec-
tive bargaining, with especial en-
phasis on Clarifying definitions Of
collective bargaining and provi-
sions for more elastic working
hours"
Continuing the drive for monop-
oily control under the N. r. a., the
National Association Of Manufacture
ers' program proposes that Congress
pass a Fair Trade Practice Act in
order to provide for monopoly ruiz
ing within each industry.
Pointing to the fact that nom
monopoly industry will be subjected
to increasing restrictions, the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
program proposes that all rules laid
down by the monopolies in a given
industry, shall be binding upon the
minority"
These proposals will be submitted
on Dec. and 6 to an enlarged ses-
sion Of the N. A. M, which will be
called the Congress for American
Industry, to include leading manu-
facturers and industrialists from
every part Of the country. These in
dustrialists will be addressed by
leading spokesman Of the Roosevelt
government, including Raymond
Moley, Donald r. Richberg and
Daniel C. Roper.

In reply to the shot which
struck down Comrade Kirov, lives
tia, Soviet Government organ,
writes, "all of the U. S. S. r. is
aroused"
From border to border millions
Of constructors of socialism have
swung into action Factories, mills,
railways, mines, scientific bodies,
artists, collective farms, state farms,
all send messages of sorrow and
anger and grief combined.
1.-THE enormous fighting echo,
whose thunders are heard through
out the world, testifies many things
it shows how pitiful is the iSola-
ton of the vile murderers. 1t
shows how strongly the masses rail-
lied to their Party. 1t shows what a
powerful and overwhelming force
of millions stand behind the Party.
But through the mouths of these
millions it also speaks of the neces-
sity of an unweakened vigilance.
"On the whole, the working class
of the Soviet Union has crushed the
class enemy and the cause of So
cialism has conquered irrevocably
and forever. But this does not
mean that the remnants of this
enemy, his scattered attachments,
his individual agents, enraged at
the victories of the proletariat, will
not try to attack from behind.
"The broad masses of toilers feel
this and resolutions, arriving from
all parts of the enormous country
of the Soviets from workers and
collective farmers, speak of this
breathing sorrow, rage and indig-
nation, resolutions demanding Sc
we're punishment of the criminal,
and vigilance, vigilance, and again
vigilance.
1.-THE vile shot of Comrade Kirov
from behind is shot at the prole-
tariat, shot at Socialism, shot
in the back of all the builders of
the new world, But nobody and
nothing can shake the ranks of
these builders. These ranks are
welded into single great force
with one will and one aim. The
treacherous shot caused an enor-
nous psychological mobilization of
millions and the voice of these
millions sounds firmly and conf
IDENTIFY more than ever before. The
pitiful enemies of the victorious
proletariat will be dragged from
their holes. Not a single attempt
to disrupt the peace and disorganize
the great labor of the Soviet Union
will remain unpublished. This guar
antee is the determination of mil
lions, is their warm loyalty to the
cause of Socialism, their firm in
tention to carry it to victorious
conclusion.

ment of 50 locals at the rank and
file U. M. w. of A. conference held
at California, Pa, in September.
Candidates reported that the most
vigorous campaign ever carried on
against the Lewis machine was
going on throughout the district,
that the miners were on their
guard and in a fighting mood, and
that any attempt to tamper with
the district ballot or elections would
mean open battle.
A strong plea was made for sup
port Of the Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill, which,
it was stated, already has the sup
port of practically every local in
the Allegheny Valley, in which the
rank and file struggle in the Pitts
burgh District is centered.
In answer to the demand of a
Negro rank and file delegate for
clear statement Of policy on the
discrimination against Negro min
ers which he stated was on the
increase and which made 1t almost
impossible for a Negro to get a
job in the Pittsburgh District today,
the candidates and miners from
half a dozen locals arose and
pledged to carry on an energetic
fight for full equality. Increased
support for the Coal Digger was
promised by a number of locals.

To Lead 100
In Protest
Delegation Will S core
Killing of Negro In
Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. A.
Mother Ella Reeve Bloor, the r.
year-old leader of workers and
farmers, and William Jones, editor
of the American, will head a
delegation of 100 to the City Council
Thursday at l pm. to protest against
the police murder of William Heat
erly, 35, who was shot when police
broke into his home last week.
Police last Tuesday broke through
the lines of Negro people who as
sembled before the Heaterly home
at 1011 Callohill Street, battered
down the door, and entering the
home with drawn guns, shot down
William Heaterly, while carrying
through an eviction. Samuel Heat
erly, brother of the dead man, who
fled from the police gun fire, was
captured, slugged and jailed. He is
being held without bail. Both of
the Heaterly brothers were unem-
ployed.
The delegation, which Mother
Blcor and William Jones will head
at the City Council Thursday, will
demand the immediate release of
Samuel Heaterly, arrest and pun
ishment of those responsible for the
murder, issuance of food and shelter
to the two Negro families, and an
end to the vicious terror against the
Negro people. In addition, they will
demand a city ordinance against
evictions, the immediate removal
from Office of Police Chief La
Strange and the City Constable Gill
man.
The Unemploy m mt Councils,
which have appealed to all working
class groups for united front fight
against evictions and the police
terror against the Negro people, have
called upon all workers to assemble
at Reyburn Plaza Thursday after
noon at l o'clock, when the delega-
ton will be organized to march to
the City Hall.
Side by side with the fight against
evictions and for the rights of the
Negro workers, employed and un-
employed, the Councils are pushing
forward the drive to have the Negro
people fully represented at the COM
ing National Congress for Unem-
ployment Insurance which will meet
in Washington on Jan. ST.. All
Negro groups, fraternal and mutual
benefit societies, ch h e S and
church groups are being canvassed
and urged to elect delegates to the
National Congress.

which proposes the following meas
ures:
Wage rates for work performed
on work relief should be lower than
current wage rates in private en-
ployment and must never be suffi-
Gent to entice workers from private
employment.
Taxpayers should not be used in
such way as to encourage or in
vite strikes, by financing those vol
unfairly quitting their jobs.

as an example of successful relief

Continuing the attack against re-
lief appropriations, the program
states, in complete opposition to any
principle of unemployment insur-
ance and of funds to reactionary
principles, that all relief must be
based on private contribution and
not on federal appropriations.

ment. President Rooseyelt's Chaco
embargo, Hudson said, has had
some effect, but it has not dried up
supplies of Paraguay or Bolivia"
Nevertheless, the embargo, signed
by thirty nations, was great step
forward" said Hudson. "a great
deal can be done by each country
on it's own, but this subject cannot
be handled without international
legislation. :. One cannot be proud
of the record of the U. S., certainly
up to last year. 1t is due to
President Roosevelt's initiative that
the subject (the Geneva Draft Con-
vention) has been rescued" Hudson
steered clear of any reference to
Roosevelt's unprecedented imperial
ist war preparations, especially to
the Presidents avowed intention of
building a navy second to none"
Benedict w. Holden, attorney for
Colts, entered the mornings testi-
mony through the introduction Of
statement made by him to the Blu
reau of Internal Revenue showing
the U. S. governments knowledge of
Colts activities. "The contract with
the U. s. government, with deliveries
assigned to the British navy, Is an
eloquent testimonial as to the
knowledge on the part of officials OF
our government that firearms would
be in demand or required by Euro
pean nations. +. Delivery in Can
ada for Great Britain was made on
purchase orders and contracts be-
ginning as early as 1914 and con-
tinuing uninterrupted to 1916"
Holden spoke also of the fact that
the armament makers, around 1908,
expected "a titanic conflict"
It is reliably reported that J. P.
Morgan and Company have pulled
every wire possible to have certain
testimony not brought out publicly.
The presence of an army of NUM-
ton and armament kings in the
capital lends credence to this report.
Past successes of the financial fig
ures behind the arms companies in
getting the State Department to
work in their interests point to the
successful conclusion of whatever eff
forts are being made now.

CHICAGO, Dec. with all

the attempt of Chicago property
owners and Municipal Judge
Thomas A. Green to enforce racial
segregation and evict Herbert New
ton, Negro Communist leader, from
the apartment house at 6l5 Oak

fender this week declares that the
issue is whether the Confederate
flag Vail be allowed to wave over
Chicago" and predicts huge mass
movement as result of the fight
organized by the League of Strug-
gle for Negro Rights against this
latest attack on the Negro masses.
Another Negro newspaper, the
Chicago World, characterizes the
movement as the greatest legal
battle and mass struggle in the long
history" of the fight here against
segregation.
Robert Minor, chairman of the
Chicago election campaign commit
tee of the Communist Party, de-
clared today in a press statement
that the Communist Party accepts
the challenge of the white chauvin-
list property owners and judges, who
are the common enemies Of both
the Negro people and the Negro
and white working class. Minor
further stated that beginning with
a huge protest rally Wednesday
night at Lincoln Center, TOO Oak
land Boulevard, the demands of the
entire working class for the aboli-
ton of segregation and Jim-Crow
practices will be forced down the
Threats of Chicagos ruling class.
1.-THE whole working class of Chi
cago, Negro and white, will be
brought into the battle on this is
sue Minor said. Trade unions
and other organizations will be in
vitsd to join the fight"
Now" continued Minor, "a fight
has been started that cannot stop
until every Jim Crow institution
and all lines of segregation as well
as every discrimination against Ne
groes in jobs, in relief and in trade
unions has been abolished. In this
fight, the Chicago masses will see
on which side Of the struggle those
organizations soliciting their sup
port stand.
THE League of Struggle for Negro
Rights is doing magnificent job
in this fight, and the whole Com
munist Party and its candidates in
the present election campaign will
back them up. Herbert Newton is
our candidate for City Clerk and he
knows how to lead the struggles of
the masses, as does our standard
bearer, Karl Lockner, candidate for
Mayor"
Minor will speak, together with
Newton and Lockner, at Wednes-

Jennings Case
Ruling Fought
By Publishers
Decision to Reinstate
Writer Irks Anti-La-
Dor Association

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. A.
The decision of the National Labor
Relations Board that the San Fran
cisco Call Bulletin must reinstate
Dean S. Jennings, a rewrite man
fired for union activity, was attacked
today by Howard Davis, president
of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association.
The Call Bulletin is one of the
newspapers which entered into the
conspiracy, led by Hearst, to defeat
the San Francisco general strike by
flood of well organized anti-labor
propaganda and daily Islander
against the strikers.
Davis declared that the order for
the reinstatement Of Jennings,
fired because of activity in the
American Newspaper Guild, is "a
threat to free press in the United
States" Davis wants to preserve
the freedom" of the members Of
the American Newspaper Publishers.
to fire Guild reporters and print
as much anti-labor SANDER as they
please, unchecked by any restraint.
These newspapers are owned by
bankers, industrialists and other
members of the employing class.
The decision of the National La
Dor Relations Board, which upheld
Jennings claim that he was forced
out of the Call Bulletin for his
union activity, does not mean that
Jennings will be reinstated without
a fight on the part of the Guild
membership. Hundreds of such de-
cisions have been made by the La
Dor Boards. But as in the B. M. T.
case in New York the companies
continue to keep union employees on
the blacklist in spite Of demagogic
decisions of the Labor Boards.
The Roosevelt government, in
Guiding the N. r. A., the Labor
Board and the courts, have not en-
forced a single one of these deci-
sions (Weirton, Houde Case, etc.
unless the mass pressure of the
union itself and the threat Of a
strike or an actual strike, forced
the employer to take back the
union member.
In the textile industry alone,
scores of thousands of workers who
took part in the general textile
strike are still blacklisted, in spite
of demagogic decisions Of the Tex
tile Labor Relations Board that they
must be taken back.
The newspaper owners fought the
case on the grounds that to force
them to take back Jennings meant
modification of the newspaper code.
They declared the National Labor
Relations Board had no jurisdiction
in newspaper case.
The Board ruled that the news
paper business is like any other
business except that the freedom Of
the press cannot be abridged. They
ruled that Section Ia of the N. r. A.
had been violated by the Call Bull.

Links Arrest of 8 in At
lanta With Frame-Up
of Nine Boys
By r. Saltzman
National Secretary. Jewish Section,
International Workers Order

To all members and branches, to
all city and district committees Of
the Jewish Section of the mterna-
tional Workers Order:
The Scottsboro campaign is our
own campaign. The International
Workers Order, in it's Declaration
of Principles, and in its daily
activity, declares itself unequivo-
cally for the unity Of workers Of all
colors and nationalities and against
the attempt of the bosses to keep
the workers divided and weak on
national or racial issues.
We recognize that in the Scots
boro case the Southern lynch-rulers
are attempting to intimidate the
Negro masses from joining and
participating in militant organiZa-
tions of the working class. The
Southern bourbons have ever used
these and similar methods when
ever the Negro masses threatened
to shake them but one bit in their
thrones.
Meaning Clearer
With the recent arrest Of eight
Negro I. w. o. members in Atlanta
the meaning of the Scottsboro
frame-up becomes even clearer and
more sharply outlined. The South
ern ruling class arrested these 1.
w. o. members in Atlanta because
they are members of a militant
working-class fraternal organiza-
ton. thus breaking their bond of
social and national subsection and
becoming equal with their white
brothers. This the white rulers fear
more than anything else. When
the working people of all colors and
nationalities unite then nothing
can stop them in their struggle.
This recent arrest, therefore,
brought the Scottsboro issue even
nearer to us.
Branches Urged to Aid
We call upon all our branches to
aid activity in the campaign to save
the nine Scottsboro boys. We call
upon them to go among the vari-
GUS Jewish fraternal organizations
and bring forward to them the
issue of racial and national sup
preston. We call upon all our
members to become a powerful and
potent factor for the defense of
these boys.
Above all funds are needed. Rush
funds at once to the International
Labor Defense, Room 610, 80 East
18th Street, New York City, the
only organization that is staunchly
and honestly defending the nine
boys and deal death-blow to the
traitorous and shameful dealings Of
Leibowitz and his clique.
The Scottsboro boys must be
saved.

port that five groups, the Commit

Grange, American Farm Fedora

the Sound Money League, had come
to an agreement with Coughlin.

Silent on Conferences
Questioned by your correspondent
as to the conference he had had
with three leaders of the Commit
tee for the Nation, James H. r.
Cromwell, stepson of E. T. Stotes-
bury, partner of j. P. Morgan;
Robert Harriss, broker and member
of the New York Stock Exchange,
and George Leblanc, former vice
president of the Equitable Trust
Company of New York, Coughlin
refused to reveal the nature of these
conversations and said they were
personal friends whose advice he
had sought. He also refused to
disclose the nature of conferences
he had had with Henry Ford and
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma.
Coughlin denied that he had any
congressman lined up, despite the
fact that he has held secret con-
ferences with members of both the
House and Senate, has established
lobby in Washington and admitted
today that the letters he is receiving
are being sorted out according to
Congressional districts in prepara-
ton for political campaign in
the 1886 elections.
The Secretary of the Committee
for the Nation, Edward Aloysius
Rumley, was revealed by John l..
Spivak in the New Masses of No

Opposed to Strikes
Coughlin said he was opposed to
strikes and favored the Government
intervening in such situations to
see that the laboring man is treated
fairly. This is entirely in line with
Roosevelt's industrial truce pro-
posal as a step toward the out
having of strikes.
Endorses C.C.C. Camps
Coughlin endorsed the militaristic
G. c. G. camps. But when asked
as to his attitude toward compulsory
military training in the colleges, he
lowered his eyes and said hastily:
