union yesterday of having no strike
of the electrical workers on the
basis of getting back two ten per
cent wage cuts. BY this move the
A. F. of L. leaders aimed to break
the back of the general strike.
The intention of the A. F. of l.
leaders was to call the Auto-Lite
strikers union, the Automotive Fed
eral Union, "a. F. OF L., to a meet
ing last night and there try to rush
through the much advertised new
Ramsey agreement. But the union
members refused to go into the hall
and stayed in the demonstration
thus preventing that immediate
strategy. The idea of the A. F. OF
L. leaders was to rush through the
Auto-Lite settlement and then
come to the demonstration and
claim a victory, and thus conven-
iently forget the general strike,
which most of the A. F. of L. locals
have voted for and which these
leaQerS keep pOSCpOnlng.
Militants in March
Thursday night the A. F. Of L.
executives, meeting supposedly to
plan the general strike, adopted only
two decisions: y to appeal to Roose-
welt to prevent the general strike
and, %. absolute exclusion of the
Communists from the demonstra-
ton and parade scheduled for yes
terday.
Communists Cheered
In line with these decisions, all
previous agreements regarding Sat
urdays parade and demonstration
were suddenly changed Friday af-
ternoon and each local union met
separately Saturday and marched as
a body in the parade which was
held prior to the demonstration.
The militant workers not mem
bers of the A. F. of L., who sup
ported the strikers, including the
Communist Party, Unemployed
Councils, ETC., marched in spite Of
the efforts of the A. F. of L. lead
ers to exclude them. All militant
workers who belonged to the A. F.
of L. marched with their locals, car
rying banners with slogans for 3
general strike, etc.
The A. F. of L. leaders, while
unsuccessfully trying to bar these
militant workers, allowed the So
cialist Party and the Young Peoples
Socialist League in the parade with
out any opposition on the part of
these leaders. The workers we're
very sympathetic to the marching
Communists and members of other
militant organizations.
Fully $4,000 marched in the
parade, with twenty thousand work
ers at the demonstration in front
of the Memorial Hall and the
Courthouse after the parade. The
A. F. of L. leaders then began to
speak from the platform in front
of Memorial Union Hall. The speak
ers included Taylor, special repre-
sentative of William Green, who has
been trying to prevent the general
strike; Brach, secretary of Central
Labor Council; Ramsey, head of the
auto federal union and three other
local leaders.
Then Parker spoke, and after the

is put forward as a means of avert
ing the steel strike.
Green declared: II refuse to be
a pessimist" in speaking of the de-
mands of the steel workers. He in
tinated that he refused to believe
that the steel workers would strike
to enforce their demands for higher
wages and union recognition.
CLEVELAND, O., June 3.-The
Steel Workers Unity Conference,
held Friday evening, June /, at the
I.O.OF. Hall, E. 55th st. and Lex
lngton Ave, elected a delegation of
five steel workers to the washington
Steel Strike Conference with the
National Labor Board TO place be-
fore the government the demands
of the steel workers. Frank Rogers.
Cleveland District Secretary OF the
union, will head the delegation.
The Steel Workers Unity Confer
ence brought together 80 delegates,
who responded to the emergency
call of the Steel and Metal Work
ers Industrial Union, which was
sent out two weeks ago. The dele
gates included ten local unions of
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union; a rank and file
delegation from the Amalgamated
Association Lodges in Cleveland;
three other A. F. of L. Locals and
81 workers organizations that came
to pledge support to the coming
steel strike.
The conference went on record in
favor of raising a $500 Emergency
Steel Strike Fund within two weeks.
All workers organizations who sup
port the steel strike are urged to
get in touch with the union head
quarters for collection lists in order
to raise this amount which is urg-
emily needed for the preparations
Tor the coming strike.
A sharp telegram OF protest was
adopted by the conference against
the use of troops against the Toledo
strikers and a demand that Gov
ernor White issue an immediate ex-
ecutive order withdrawing the
troops from the Toledo strike area.
The invitation to attend the
Washington Steel Conference called
by the National Labor Board was a
result of of protest telegram sent
by the Cleveland District Board of
the union and signed by Frank
Rogers, secretary, to Senator Wag-
ner, chairman of the National La
Dor Board, which read as follows;
Newspaper report informs us you
have called representatives of the
Amalgamated Association Union to
Washington to discuss the steel
strike situation. We wish to inform
you that Amalgamated Association
Union officials do not represent the
Steel and Metal Workers Industrial
Union and we demand participa-
ton in any conferences regarding
steel unions or the coming steel
strike"
Wagner's reply to this telegram
reads as follows: Regarding your
telegram of May 20, representatives
of your union may have conference
with this Board any time agree
able to them. Please suggest date
for such conference if you care to
do so. Signed: Robert F. Wagner,
Chairman, National Labor Board"
The union replied stating; "Cleve-
land Steel Union delegation arrives
Washington Tuesday for conference
with National Labor Board per your
invitation"
A huge city-wide mass meeting
has been called by the union Sun
day, June 10, to hear the report of
the Washington Conference with
the National Labor Board and the
latest developments in connection
with the steel strike.

For 2 White
Organizers
Prose cutOr Hudson
Makes Threat of Ban
on Labor Papers

ATLANTA, Ga, June 3.-Plans to
rush the Atlanta Six" to trial by
the middle of June, with a demand
for the death penalty for the six
labor organizers, were announced
yesterday by the Rev John A. Hud-
son, chief red-baiter of Atlanta and
fanaticaI prosecutor of Angelo
Herndon, young Negro worker whose
sentence of 10 to 20 years on the
chain gang was upheld last week
in an infamous decision by the
Georgia Supreme Court.
The six organizers are Ann Bur-
lax, Mary Dalton, white women;
Henry Storey and Gilmore Brady
Negro men, and NJ. H. Powers and
Joseph Carr, white men. Arrested
in 1880, they were speedily indicted
on the 1851 Slave Code on which
Herndon was railroaded to the chain
gang.
Notice of Hudson's plans were filed
on Davis g. Geer, international La
Dor Defense attorneys.
Hudson has also secured warrants
for the arrest of Don West and
Martha Stafford, two native white
organizers, on charge of "circulat-
ing insurrectionary literature"
Following a police raid on the IL.
D. Office last week, the "red squad"
headed by Hudson, went to the
newsstand of A. w. Wright, young
Negro worker who sells the Daily
Worker" New Masses, Labor De-
fender, Liberator, schools and the
Crisis" and other working class, lit
erature. Hudson purchased copies
Of each, and informed Wright he
would '1et him know if these pub
locations could be legally sold"
Attorney Ansel Morrison, young
white lawyer who volunteered his
assistance in the Herndon case, has
turned out to be a stool-pigeon and
has turned over to the police pam
phlets which had been given him
while he posed as a friend of the
workers. He also turned over all
information he was able to gather
about activities and whereabouts of
militant workers, resulting in police
raids on the homes Of white and
Negro workers.

Rep. Lewis Warns
Old People About
Pension Scheme
Many Aid Projects Only Serve
To Arouse False Hopes,
He Declares

Representative David ]. Lewis, of
Maryland, long a leading advocate Of
old-age pensions, issued a warming
this week to elderly people not to be
taken in by the numerous old-age
pension associations which have
sprung up in all parts of the country
since President Roosevelt announced
that he expects to present a program
for economic security to the next
Congress.
"These organizations" said Mr..
Lewis, "ostensibly have been formed
to promote particular plans for old
age pensions, but seem interested
often in the money they collect from
elderly people through contributions
and the sale of booklets and maya
zines, and even of petitions to be sent
to members of Congress. The old-age
pension plans proposed are often fan
tastic and serve no purpose other than
to arouse hopes among the aged
which can not possibly be fulfilled"

General reports throughout the
State indicate that game of practical
w. all species seem to have shown a
great comeback, even in sections
where the storm of August %, 1888,

land. The clerks of the Circuit Courts
of the various counties of Maryla- d
have reported that many persons pur-
chased hunting licenses earlier than

more licenses than usual were issued
in August this season.

DIR. Conley lost the Colesville dis
trict, in which he was born, by a
vote of 563 to 274. He showed heavy
strength, however, in several of the
upper county districts, but as a whole
the majority for Richie was sur
prising.
First returns from other counties
of the State and Baltimore City show
that Ritchie leads Conley by a sub
stantial margin. The indication is
that Conley will carry several coun-
ties on the Eastern Shore and his
home county, Frederick. Richie was
!piling up a 2 to vote in Baltimore
City.
The complicated ballot of the Re-
Ipublicans will make the final returns
late coming in as far as the G. o. P.
figures are concerned. 1t is believed
that the lower districts will keep
Goldsborough ahead of Nice. Zihlman,
of course, was expected to snow
Gunter under.
Ritchie's unofficial vote in the
county totalled 6,932, while DIR. Con-
ley pooled a total of 3,791. Radcliffe
received GASP votes while Maloy got
only 2,87O. Below will be found an
unofficial tabulation of the Demo
cratic votes by districts.
In the preprimary registration for
new voters in this county Tuesday
the Democratic party added 1880
names, showing a figure of z to /
against the Republicans. In several
precincts the majority ran as high
as 25 to 1. In one Silver Spring
iprecinct the total was 81 Democrats
against one lone Republican.
The closest precinct was at barnes
town, where SO Democrats registered
against 33 Republicans. Takoma
Park, a heavy Republican strong
hold, showed 233 Democrats against
40 Republicans.

Production Credit
Adapted To Make
Livestock Loans
Leo Bender, Rockville Attorney,
Will Consider Applications
For County

The Frederick Production Credit
Association is particularly adapted to
make livestock loans to stockmen and
farmers in the counties of Frederick,
Carroll, Montgomery, Washington,
Allegany, and Garrett, according to
S. M. Garwood, Production Credit
Commissioner of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Garwood said that the Freder-
lex P. C. A. makes loans to stockmen
who need money to pay operating ex-
penses, to purchase feed for winter
and to replace herds where it has been
necessary to Gull aged cows and ewes.
Farmers who want to buy feeders
are another one of our large class of
borrowers" Mr.. Garwood said. "These
farmers have raised grain and have
forage and can use their grain and
rought feed to fatten both cattle and
lambs for market, thereby obtaining a
better price for their grain through
the sale of the cattle and lambs"
AS for Ioans TO dairyfarmers and
to commercial poultrymen, Mr.. Gar
wood said: "Many dairy farmers, es.
pecially in the large dairy areas, are
borrowing from the production credit
associations right now, and even larg-
jer numbers will borrow later in the
season. Dairymen use their loans in
a variety of ways. They may borrow
to buy high-grade bull to improve
their herd, or the loans may be used
to buy better cows to replace some of
the culls that they have sent to mar
ket. Then too," he said, "they may
borrow to replace cows that they have
lost thought the tuberculin test, while
they are waiting to get their indem-
nifty checks from the Federal and
state governments.
Commercial pouitrymen, like other
farmers, can borrow from the pro-
duction credit associations, and some
OF them are already doing So" Mr.
Garwood said. "In the Spring they
borrow to buy baby chicks and feed
for young stock. Others borrow in the
Fall to buy pullets or feed. Like
dairymen, they usually arrange to pay
off their loans gradually"
Thomas S. Anderson is the secre-
tary-treasurer of the Frederick Pro
duction Credit Association with offices
IN Frederick. Leo Bender, Attorney
at-Law, Rockville, is a representative
OF the Association and will be glad tc
consider your application.
