Workers Organizations
To Fight Against Savage
Sentence Given Hagopa

NEW YORK.--A Hagopa Defense
Committee was organized last night,
with representatives of many trade
unions and workers clubs partici-
pating, including the Needle Trades
Industrial Union, Marine Workers
Industrial Union, etc.
The committee has launched a
fight against the savage sentence of
three years imposed on Hagopa by
Judge Corrigan in General Sessions
Court on March %. Hagopa was
framed on a charge of felonious as
sault by police who broke up a
demonstration of needle trades
workers at It'll Ave. and 10Th ST.,
on July S, 1888. Corrigan openly
declared his intention of making an
example of Hagopa as a blow
against workers and their organiza :
tons protesting the frame-up.
The committee announced that
funds and $4,000 signatures must be
obtained within the next week to
enable the fling of an appeal against
the sentence.

Green Praises New
Deal as Own Data
Shows Wage Cuts
ALL. Head Speaks at
Dinner in Honor of
Mrs. Roosevelt
BY SEYMOUR WALDMAN
DAILY Worker Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON, April civilian
Green, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, declared to-
night that the New Deal is 'in
thorough accord" with the Eco
non1ic philosophy" that "it is only
when produced wealth is widely
diffused, when the earnings of in
dustry are equitably distributed
that we can expect to maintain
progress and promote universal
prosperity"
This assertion, in a speech before
a dinner given by the New York
Women's Trade Union League In
honor of Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt, followed a monthly survey by
the A. F. of L., admitting that
workers real wages have been de-
creased and profits increased by the
New Deal.
Green delivered his speech stimuli
taneously with the A. F. of L. April
monthly survey announcement that
the individual workers real wage
had not risen since last spring de-
spite the greatly increased profits
Of the big corporations
THE National Recovery Act is in
thorough accord with this economic
philosophy, because its primary
purpose is to overcome unemploy-
ment through the development Of
purchasing power and through the
creation of work opportunities for
idle men and women by reducing
the number of hours worked per
day and the number of days worked
per week" said Green.
Green justified the N. r. A. dis
elimination against Negroes "in re-
mote sections" (meaning the South
and mildly questioned the wage diff
ferentiation against women Sin
practically the same territory" He
said:
while there may be some justi-
fication for the establishment of
varying rates Of pay in remote sec
tions where standards of living diff
fer-and I question the economic
soundness of such position-nev-
ertheless there does not seem to be
any good argument which can be
offered or sound reason advanced
for the payment of differing rates
of pay to different women workers
employed in cities closely related in
practically the same territory"
Coming out against militant
working-cl action, Green de-
clared, I'VE know that progress can
only be made step by step. There
is no problem which yields to solu-
ton more slowly than an economic
problem History shows that the
human race has made progress
slowly"

on his liberalism"
I'VE resent your inferences," was
the delegates reply, and had you
taken any steps to grant the work
ers' demands, you would not be be-
seiged with delegations"
william Fox, of the Associated
Office and Professional Emergency
Employees, chairman of the delega-
ton, presented the demands of the
workers. These demands include:
the immediate reinstatement Of all
fired G. w. A. workers; jobs for all
the unemployed at guaranteed
wages not below the original C. w.
A. minimum, union rates to apply;
cash relief equal at least to the c.
w. A. wages of all unemployed, and
for all who registered for G. w. A;
an end to Negro discrimination of
the jobs and in the Relief Bureaus;
the immediate enactment of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, and that in every case work
be granted as such and not on the
basis of need" as Hodson had or
dered.
Hodson refused all the workers
demands, attempting to place the
blame for the firings on the federal
government, and variously distrib-
uting the responsibility of govern
mental bodies.

in picket lines at Hodson's office
and to continue to deluge him with
workers delegations until the work
ers' demands are fully met. The
picket line will continue throughout

lily applauded from the floor. The
delegate proposed the election of a
committee by the conference to
meet with a similar committee from
the United Front May Day Ar
rangements Committee to work out
plans for joint May Day demon
stration. The motion was COM
pletely ignored by the chair.
Rank and file sentiment for the
united front was so strong, how
ever, that a delegate from the I.
w. w. considered it necessary to
make a gesture of support for the
united front, while at the same time
knitting the united front sentiment
with a slanderous attack on the
leadership of the Communist Party.
In this he was joined by the rene
gades from Communism, Benjamin,
Welsh Zimmerman and others.
Benjamin declared he "repudiated
the actions of the Communists at
Madison Square Garden" but was
naturally silent on the provocative
attack by Socialist leaders and their
gsngsters on Clarence Hathaway
editor of the Daily Worker" and
the united front established by the
Socialist leaders with LaGuardia
and other notorious enemies of the
working class who they invited to
lead the fight" against Austrian
fascisn1.

cative attack on the Communists
He then put the motion to yea
and nay vote. Although there were
quite q number of yeas, he declared
the motion defeated, refusing to ask
for a show of hands.

The Socialist leadership succeeded
in steam-rollering a motion for a

the vote youth motion for parade
on May Day, which was oyerwhelm-
ingly accepted. The leadership ex-

on the grounds that in several Of
the unions there were new men,
bers who did not know how to
parade" adding the additional
phoney explanation that the Social
list Party was so immersed in vari-
Gus activities as not to be able to
prepare q well-orgsnized parade
The sentiment Of the youth dele
gates was most bitter against these
tactics Of the leadership and, finally
at their insistence Claessens, the
chairman, was forced to put the
motion for a parade to the vote.

the fact that even Donald Richberg,
N. R. A. Chief Counsel, has inter-
preted this section as an open shop
mechanism and that the most
powerful industrialists have openly
rallied around it as the chief pro-
lection of their company unions.
Realizing that the rank and file

those eligible for relief will receive
