JObless Delegates
Hit Jinn-CrOw Place
Hit Restaurant Refusing
To Serve Negroes

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. A.
Smashing jim-crow practices en-
route. white and Negro delegates to
the National Convention Against
Unemployment were SIN pouring in
today
The New York, New Jersey and
New England delegations which ar
rived yesterday brought news Of
militant demonstration at Aberdeen,
Maryland, against jim-crow practices
ct the Ford restaurant here. When
the delegation entered the restaurant
for coffee, the management attempt
ed to force the Nero delegates to
eat in the kitchen. The whole dele
ticn angrily protested and walked
cut in a body. Both Negro and white
were finally served in a restaurant
across the street.
Significantly, not one Washington
peper said word regarding this
gplendid manifestation Of working
class solidarity. but wrote I'D the
Aberdeen demonstration rs drink
ing brawl,D declaring the deleTates
started a fight because Of "the high
prices charged them" Thus. the cap
'taliet press, attempting to tiscretit
the great convention Of the unem-
ployed millions, turns into drink
ing brawl' a militant demonstration
against the jim-c-ow practices b.
which the bosses try to keep the
working class divided and prevent
united struggle against starvation
fascist lynch terror and imperiaiist
war.

to supervise the conduct Of elections
TO determine employe representa-
ton in certain cases, it is desirable
to explain what and what is not
covered by the Executive order g.,
AS practical proposition the Ma
tional Labor Board will find it inn
possible to deal with every contro-
versy that might arise between rival
groups of employees, each seeking to
represent a fraction of the employc
opinion, or to conduct thousands OF
elections so that every little group Of
employees could select representatives
to represent every faction of employee
opinion"
Therefore the matter is thrown tC
the discretion Of the bosses, whose
company unions are given the NR.A
brand OF legality and propriety.
No Attack Intended
TN so far as the statement in the
press" continues the statement
might be read as saying that en-
ployes' representatives in all COM
pany unions are chosen by employers
it was not so intended as there is nc
evidence that such is the case.
They state furthermore that conf
pany unions can be proposed by the
bosses and the workers given an
opportunity" to vote for representa-
ton in the company union.
Furthermore, the Joint statement
throws some more light on so-called
collective bargaining" It seems
now that collective bargaining" does
not mean wage or condition or union
negotiations, as no contract on these
subjects can be made, but merely
representation" for general talk
with the bosses.
The new order will act as a ire
nendous stimulus for the growth OF
company unions, and wholesale fir
ing of workers who do not accept the
bosses choice in the company unions.
Give direct practical aid to the
struggle Of the German working class
against Fascism! Have you spoken

ruary IL affair at the Bronx Coli
seum,, all proceeds of which go to

Anti Fascist Leaders

arity between the propaganda Of the
American organization with that of
the one recently formed by the Nazis
in Hungary.
On a number OF occasions Ference
Herczeg, leader of the 'revisionist"
movement in Hungary, has addressed
direct communications to the leaders
of the Colonel Koyats Society in this
country.
The Hungarian anti-faSciSt move
ment in this country has gained in
creased support during recent months
as a result Of the open and vicious
attacks upon militant workers, Jews
and students in Hungary.
Since the formation recently Of the
Hungarian Nazi party, under the
leadership Of Zoltan Mesko, workers
are being constantly terrorized, jailed,
and students have been beaten and
expelled from universities, causing
riots and the closing up Of the uni
versitieS for weeks.
The Hungarian Government, al
though it has not, as yet, placed its
official stamp of approval upon the
Nazi Party, has nevertheless taken no
action against it. In this connec-
ton it is playing the same role as
Hindenburg did prior to the rise OF
Hitler to power. Many Of the men,
oers Of the Nazi Party are members
OF the Hungarian parliament, and il
is significant that julius Goemboes
premier Of Hungary, is one Of the
leaders Of the newly-forned Nazi
Party.
Moreover, while the Hungarian
governmental officials as well as theil
diplomatic and consular representa-
tives in the q. S. repeatedly deny any
connection with the Hungarian Naz
in this country, proof exists to the
contrary.
1t is generally known, for ex-
ample, that the reactionary Hun
garian paper, "Amerikai Magyar

cepted as the official press organ
for the Hungarian Government In
the United States, receives regular
subsidies from abroad.

been introduced this year. AT these
department conferences, which meet
about once in two weeks, the teachers
who teach one subject such as
Principles of Communism, for in
stance-meet together to discuss the
subject matter of the next lesson and
the best method of handling it.
A great many Of the present in
structors in the Workers School in
New York began as constructors,
and with the present demand for
more instructors, 1t will probably be
necessary to assign co-instructor
to every teacher in the school, until
it will be possible to organize a group
for intensive training of instructors,
and even then it will be necessary to
combine the theoretical training with
this system of observation and work
in the classes.

What's Doing
in the Workers
Schools of us.

VII HAVE an interesting letter
W from a student in the Cleve-
land Workers School, from which
we will quote as much as we have
room for:
ITO the Editor of the Daily Worker:
Cleveland Workers School has
had very favorable comment in the
twice in Mike Colds column and
has already received national at
tention. The school has a con-
venient downtown location. 1t oc-
cupies a large second story. There
are two classroms, q library, a large
Office, and a hall with a seating
capacity of $50. The rooms are
bright and airy. The numerous
windows are hung with neat, red
bordered curtains. Everything is
kept spotless by a devoted attend
ant. Comrades travelling through
say it is the most attractive head
quarters Of any revolutionary or
ganization in the country. The
revolutionary workers of Cleveland
are justly proud Of their school,
"Yet this beautiful exterior con-
ceals some very serious shortcom-
ings The library has been men
tioned-the Ruthenberg library. I
blush to think of it. The shelves
are up, the tables and chairs are
in, there is a filing cabinet and
desk-everything but books, I mean
revolutionary books, of course. There
is a text book on Physics, Gregg's
Shorthand, Fielding's tom Jones"
But Marx is represented by Sc
lected Essays and Lenin and Engels
not at al"
There is no room to quote all Of
this letter, but the student goes on
to say that the school itself should
buy books instead Of expecting
class conscious workers, who have
bought their revolutionary Iitera-
ture with difficulty, to part with it,
This beautiful room is going to
waste. A portion of rent goes to
maintaining room that brings no
return. Why, this library could be-
come a hotbed of revolutionary
propaganda! Cleyeland's famous
public library has only few Of the
work of Marx, Lenin, Engels, which
don't even begir to serve the needs OF
the movement. There are so many
students here eager to read the
works they can't afford to buy.
And the Ruthenberg library has
nothing but its name"
Well, how about it, comrades Of
! Cleveland?

TRAINING NEW TEACHERS

THE Workers School Of New York
L has instituted system of coin
structors to meet the growing demand
for new teachers due to the rapid
growth of the school itself and the
numerous classes and study groups
outside, who come to the school for
instructors. Comrades with prac-
teal experience in the Party or
League, and promising students that
have come to the attention of the
teachers in the classes, are selected
to be constructors. The Coin
structor is assigned to q certain class
to work with the instructor for one
or two terms, first as an observer,
and then as an assistant. If the
instructor thinks it advisable, he al
lows the co-instructor to take over
a session or two or part of a session
or two, during the term.

vided for min workers. When YOU
try to talk to mill superintendants
they refer you to the Textile Bull
,etin and its editors.
"They know more about the mill
situation than we do. They have
their fingers on the pulse Of the
whole Southern textile industry"
they say. 1.-THE editors are especially
in touch with the industry in Char
otte and its enyirons."
D. H. Hill "who knows more about
textiles here than any other man,
according to the Charlotte Chamber
of Commerce, has devoted the major
portion of his life to explaining
things for mill owners. He has
learned to be cagy. On delicate
questions which anyone even slightly
familiar with the industry would
have at his finger tips, he pleaded
ignorance or hid behind the state
ment, That's in the code.
Mill Owners Viewpoint
His viewpoint - the viewpoint Of
The mill owneys-is that if it is ii
the code, the mills abide by it. To
questions regarding the stretch out
system he says suavely:
That's prohibited by the code
I've never heard Of such violations.
If any such exist, workers can com
plain to the Compliance Board"
I had already seen how much at
tention was paid to the worker who
complains to the Compliance Board.
The member of the board here who
is supposed to represent labor's in
terests himself had told me that the
stretch-out system was common and
that there was nothing he or the
board could do about it. Workers
complaints are ignored here as in
New England
The textile manufacturers view
point as given by Hill follows:
Business has increased in the in
dustry about one third over what it
was last year or for that matter
since the depression. Things before
that were pretty much at a stand
still. but 1893 was the best year since
1929.
Mill earnings have improved
much and dividends aer above those
in recent years.
"These conditions apply to the
whole industry in the South.
I'm Charlotte proper and its
suburbs there are about 20 mills, but
it is impossible to get their payrolls
and the number Of employees, so I
cannot give you an estimate on that"
(Tfe number OF employees have
apparently been reduced for the
amount OF production they are turn
ing out, while payrolls have changed
little since the code went into eff
feet. If a mill with 200 workers, for
instance, had a certain capacity fer
a II hour shift, with each worker
getting about Sc a week and that
capacity has been maintained by 100
workers. operating 8 hours day and
if, at the same time they got S12 a
week instead Of the former $6, and
the payroll had not increased in
comparison with its production, then
it would be clear that work was be-
ing doubled-up, as the workers all
charge. That is why payroll and
employee numbers cannot be
gotten.'D
IN AN effort to get his views on
I wages even under the code as
compared with living costs TODAY he
was evasive, though finally admitting
