around the Chancellory building
and threatened to open fire.
Preceding the violent clash be-
tween the two murderous fascist
groups in Austria, the Nazis, backed
by German capitalism, and the
Heimwehr, supported by MuSsolini,
the Dollfuss government had
launched a terrorist drive against
Socialists and Communists, arrested

hanged, the Dollfuss regime claim
ing he was working with the Nazis.
No Action Taken
Despite the threat to hang Nazis
caught with dynamite, no action
was taken against them.
All communication with the out
side world was cut off at the time
the Heimwehr surrounded the
Chancellory to rescue the captured
Cabinet members. However, before
that time the following incidents
were reported.
Early in the afternoon, 400 armed
Nazis seized the Seventh District
Barracks, Communicated trucks and
machine guns, and swooped down
on the Chencellory, overpowering
the guards and imprisoning the oc-
cupants.
Working on a prearranged plan,
they at the same time seized a radio
station 10 miles out of Vienna, de-
claring that Dollfuss had been de-
posed. The Heimwehr is reported to
have re-captured the radio station
with 10 killed in the fighting.
Vienna was put under army rule,
all important buildings being sur
rounded and mounted with machine
guns. Foreign correspondents were
not permitted to leave their quar-
tiers and were thus barred from con-
f1rming most of the reports.

For Control
InCarUniOn
Rank and File Opposes
Company Union Clique
and A. F. L. Heads
By NAT GANLEY

DETROIT, Mich.-The last meet
ing of the Hudson local of the
United Automobile Workers Union
(American Federation of Labor
reflected the three-cornered fight
now going on in the organization.
The three forces contending for
power are: 1. The Green Collins A.
F. of L. burocracy. 2. The Arthur
Greer Richard Byrd group which
,, tends towards company unionism.
3. The rank and filers who stand for
one fighting industrial union in the
auto industry controlled by the
members.
Dillon, the right hand man of
Collins, was present at the meeting
He brought with him the presidents
of the st. Louis A. f. OF L. local to
PUT up fight for the removal of
Richard Byrd from the Roosevelt
Auto Labor Board. Byrd is the So
called labor man on this board. He
works hand in hand with Arthur
Greer, the $50 week president of
the Hudson local OF the A. r. of L.
The Green Collins machine wants
recognition from the auto manu-
facturers on the grounds that it can
do just as good job in preventing
strikes as the company unions!
Arthur Greer was one of the
original representatives of the
Hudson company union. All his
actions during and since the June
A. F. of L. auto conference proves
him to be a company union man
working inside the A. F. of l.. I'd
split its ranks. He works under the
direction of Richard Byrd. At the
local meeting Greer succeeded in
railroading thru motion to endorse
Richard Byrd's activity on the Auto
Labor Board. The minutes of this
board disclose the following facts;
1t helped the manufacturers I'd
manipulate piece work rates down
ward, covered up the blacklisting of
union workers, helped the manu-
facturers rob the workers of pay
for waiting time, and put over
plan for orderly mass lay-offs
on so-oalled seniority rights basis!
But the lay-off plan contains a
joker clause giving the companies
the right to fire or retain anyone
they please. 1t is this activity of
the Auto Labor Board which Arthur
Greer endorses.
The Rank and File
The Rank and File members of
the Hudson local exposed both
Dillon and Greer. They presented
their motion for one fighting in
dustrial union in the industry and
put up militant struggle for the
motion. Greer used the same
tactics as Collins in the national
conference, in shutting off discussion
and tabling the rank and file mo-
ton. The rank and filers are de-
termined to continue the fight
against the A. F. of L. burocracy
and the company union movement,
They call for the building of united
front action committees in the
shops and neighborhoods that can
develop independent struggles for
improved conditions over the heads
of the burocrats. That is the first
step in building one fighting in
dustrial union.

Listen to the note of triumph
of E. Yevdonikov, Bolsnevik sec

mist Party of the Soviet Union, in
his report to Stain on the drought.
THE meanee of the drought

chance to test the stamina of
our collective farms in the
struggle for crops. There was no
panic or the slightest shade of
Observation-Disclosures. The drought
has failed to wrest from us
any considerable section Of the
region"
Pitted against the collective work
of the Soviet farmers, led by the
indomitable Bolsheviks, even the
drought must lose its terrors.
Continuing his report, the Boil
Shevik leader of the farmers writes
When, in the critical days OF
May, the Communist Party Com
mittee issued the call for watering
the crops, in literally two days the
entire population, from the young
est pioneers to the oldest men, were

The most incredible things
were done in these two days.

Steel Board
Aids Company
Union Move
By GEORGE GILL

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July Is
Although the workers in the Cru
chile Steel Company in Harrison,
n. J., voted down the company
union plan, on June %. by a vote
OF $50 to 1856, the National Steel
Labor Relations Board works hand
in hand with the steel company to
tie the workers to the company
union.
Today, the National Office of the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union, received an answer to their
letter demanding that no new cleo
tionS be held, and that the vote Of
the workers against the company
Union stand.
James Egan, National Secretary
of the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union, immediately sent
the following reply:
"The only Interpretation of the
position OF the National Steel
Labor Relations Board, as put
forward in your letter, can be
that you are in agreement with
the company in laying the basis
for putting over another election
upon the workers.
"0ur position is that in the
Crucible Steel Company, in Har-
risOn, N. j., the question of COM
pany unionism has been deci-
sfvely decided upon by the work
erS, and has been rejected, and
the workers are now free to
organize their own bona fide
trade union of their own choice,
without coercion or intimidation
by the company. And any action
of the National Steel Labor Rela-
lions Board in aiding or abetting
the company in carrying through
its plan, for another election, is in
direct violation of the rights and
interests of the workers.

Herndon Is Symbol of New Fearless
Negro Leader, Says Harry Haywood
Thousands Still Needed
For Bail to Save Him
From Chain Gang

DEHIND the gray walls of
- Fulton Tower prison in
Atlanta, sits a young Negro
worker who symbolizes, per-
haps better than any other
one person, the new spirit, the
leadership among the Negro
people.
This new spirit says openly to
the white ruling class:
Every human right, every
privilege that is granted to others,
we intend to have for ourselves.
We will be satisfied with nothing
less. We will not beg and we
will not cringe. We will organize
to take what is ours. We know
that the cost of the struggle will
be great-but we will not turn
aside for that"
What contrast between this
new leadership, this working class,
uncompromising leadership of the
Negro people, with the servile lead
ershiu OF such an organization as
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored Peoplel
What a contrast was the militant
fearless, self-defense of Angelo
Herndon in the Georgia courtroom
with the cringing, crawling attitude
Of the representatives of the N. A.
A. c. P. in the case Of George
Crawford in Virginia. There the
keynote was: Provoke the min
imum amount of resistance
keep the cooperation and goodwill
of the dominant majority" BY
dominant majority" the N, A. A
c. P. leaders meant, of course, the
working class.
Against this shameful Sell-out
the language Of Angelo Herndor
in the lynch-ridden courtroom
rings out true and clear:
You may do what you will with
Angelo Herndon. You may in
dict him. You may put him in
Jail. But in his place there will
arise thousands Of Angelo Hern.
dOns to carry on the struggle for
unity Of Negro and white workers
and for the emancipation of the
Negro people and the working
class"
This is the new spirit, the new
leadership among the Negroes. Thi
is the spirit Of unity between whit,
and Negro workers.
1t is this leadership that tn,
Georgia lynchers would murder b,
10 to 20 years of torture on tn
chain-gang. 1t is this Leadership
that the militant white and Negr
workers must preserve, must say
for the struggles ahead.
But the chain-gang stares
Herndon in the face. Only $4,000
has so far been raised. Fifteen
thousand dollars is needed to get
Herndon out of Fulton Tower
Prison. Funds must be rushed to
the office of the International
Labor Defense at 80 East 18th
Street, New York. Their return to
the sender after the bail has been
released is guaranteed by com
mittee consisting of Corliss Lam
ont, Robert w. Dunn and Anna
Damon.
If this money is not forth
coming by August 3, Herndon will
go to the chain gang and to al
most certain death.
