TUUC Issues Call To
All Unions To Unite
To Smash Court Writ

NEW YORK-Justice Leander B.
Faber's vicious injunction against
Local sos Of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers Union, which
legalizes the open shop and places
a ban against united struggle
against injunctions, was upheld in
the Appellate Division in Brooklyn
on Monday.
This temporary injunction, issued
upon application of the Standard
Baking Co., is unparalleled in labor
history. 1t not only prohibits workers
in the Standard Baking Co. plant
from striking and picketing, but it
states that no other union can
come to the aid of the Bakery
Workers Union, and makes it I'M
lawful for anyone to speak, write
or otherwise communicate the idea
that there is a strike in the plant.
The trial on the baking COM
pany's application for a permanent
injunction is still pending In the
Supreme Court.
The Trade Union Unity Council
has issued a call to all affiliated
unions to rally into action at once
and give the utmost support to the
workers in Local sos in the fight to
smash the injunction.

Tomorrow; LID APP
peals for Witnesses

NEW YORK-Magistrate August
Dreyer, sitting in a court to which
all workers were barred, while police
surrounded the building, yesterday
refused to grant motion to reduce
the charges of the ten May 26 dem
onstrators to "disorderly conduct
and ordered all ten bound over to
the Grand Jury for General Ses-
sions jury trial.
In summing up the defense,
Joseph Tauber I. L. D. attorney,
showed how every witness called by
the state had given testimony which
conflicted with that Of all the
others, had on cross examination
given the lie to their testimony, and
that the state had failed to estab-
lish the charge of riot in any case.
The cases of Lechay, the two
workers who were dubbed and ar
rested at the May 81 hearing when
Dreyer ordered the police to clear
the court, and the case of Joseph
Elwell, who was arrested on a
charge of "disorderly conduct" at
the May 26 demonstration, were
held over for trial at the Tombs
Court, Franklin and Center streets,
Thursday, June 7, at 10 am.
The LID. appeals to all witness
to these two cases to see Joseph
Taubcr at his Office at 4O1 Broad

the Tombs Court on the trial date.

Fascist Plots
Financed Here
By Nazi Envoy
Hitler Ambassador in
Washington Pays for
Propaganda

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
Confirming the charges made by
the Daily Worker in its exposures
of Nazi activities in this country,
it was revealed today before a Con-
gressional Committee that Hans
Luther, German Ambassador to the
United States, has been financing
the spread of Fascist propaganda
here.
The revelation was made by Rev.
Frances Gross, Hungarian Minister
of Peth Amboy, N. j., who described
how Luther had paid him for the
printing and publication of Fas-
cist pamphlet to be distributed to
members of Congress.
The minister received 5000 on one
occasion, he testified. The New
York German Consulate Office also
figured in the negotiations for the
pamphlet, it was testified.
The German Ambassador Luther,
has thus far refused to make any
comment on the above testimony.
Recently the Daily Worker made
public authentic documents con-
tanning proof that the Fascists were
carrying on organized activity in this
country. In addition, the Daily
Worker published the full text of
letter describing plot of the Nazis
to murder Van der Lubbe, the wit
noes in tho T eipzio are0,, tyioI a,.1
to inoculate the Communist pris-
oners with syphilis germs. This
has never been denied by
the Nazis.
The evidence is growing to show
that the Hitler government is en-
gagged in widely-ramifying net of
Fascist activity in this country CAL
culated to stir up race hatred, anti
semitism, and a terrorist campaign
against the revolutionary move
ment.

tally beat Theodore Eggail-

three workers began when they
passed Nazi beer joint and hang
out, Schubert hall, 28S East 84th

new Germany, recognized one of
the group passing the saloon as
a member of the anti-Nazi German
workers club of 1501-3rd Avenue.
and began to yell, what the hell
are you doing here!" He then
called for help from Nazi SYM
pathizers inside the beer-hall. The
first to come out was Willy Dreh-
kopf, ex-pug, and bouncer. With
him came ten others. They began
to beat Eggailing and his two
friends, who fought back valiantly.
The fighting moved over to 8Sth
ST., where two workers joined the
three being assaulted by the Nazis.
A cop came to the support of
the Nazi sympathizers who by this
time numbered around 80. He
began to beat those who were de-
Tending themselves from the Na5is
attack. When John Doe" tried to
run away, the cop pulled his pistol
and shot him in the leg. at the
hospital it was reported he may
also have a fractured skull.

Infamous Pact
| W it'll Oil Corp.
Pledges ''No Strik e.
Accepts Company
Unions

WASHINGTON, D. c., June s.
The Sinclair Oil Company has
recognized" the Oil Field, Gas
Well and Refinery Workers Union
"a. F. of L. in a one-year agree
ment whose provisions mark the
rapid approach of the A. F, of L
bureaucracy to open fostering Of
company unionism.
The agreement, engineered per-
sonally by William Green and
Harry Sinclair, outlaws all strikes,
refers all disputed grievances to
one union representative and the
employer, and sets no minimum
wage standard for the workers.
Under this bogus recognition the
A. F. of L. officials get a check-off,
coming from the workers wages.
In a joint statement announcing
this company union agreement,
Green and sinclair declared that
the contract provides an amicable
adjustment of disputes without
strikes or lockouts." They declared
that they hoped the agreement
might establish a formula for in
dustrial procedure that would put
an end to industrial warfare with
its heavy burdens on employers and
The agreement declares, There
shall be no cessation Of work
through strikes or lockouts during
the term of this agreement, which
is for one year from June l." 1t
continues that if a worker has a
grievance he must first take the
matter up locally with his "immeoi-
ate SUPERIOR" then the workers
committee should take it up with
the local superintendent. If then
there is no agreement, "the chief
executive officer of the association
shall have the right to confer with
the chairman of the executive COM
mittee of Consolidated Oil Corpora
ton"
The agreement declares that in
matters affecting large numbers OF
the workers such dispute is re-
ferred for settlement to the chief
executive Of the employer and the
chief executive of the association
In the event that they are unable
to arrive at settlement, the dis
pute is to be referred to the chief
executive officer of Consolidated Oil
Corporation and the chief execu-
tive of the American Federation OF
Labor. If they are unable to ef-
feet a settlement, they shall agree
upon a method and procedure OF
arbitration for the settlement OF
such dispute or grievance"
This agreement marks long ster
forward in the appearance Of the
leaders of the A. F, of L., and o.
Green personally, as co-authors Of
cut and out company union agree
ments. The agreement robS the
workers of the right to win wage
increases and better conditions, b.
denying them the right to strike
and forcing on them interminablf
arbitration boards and conferences
Green is making a bid for thi;
company union agreement to re-
place the agreement now in force
in the largest oil companies, who
all nov have company unions.

Scabs Get Preference:

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 5,-The A.
F. of L. leaders have finally forced
the sell-out agreement over on the
Electric Auto-Lite strikers and
driven them back to work, after
stormy four-hour session Of the
strikers last night.
The strikers, victorious on the
mass picket lines, were defeated
by the maneuverings Of the A. F.
Of L. leaders, who succeeded in
their strategy Of splitting them up
and blocking a general strike for
their demands. Under the agree
ment only "a of the 300 strikers are
permitted to return to work when
the plant re-opens Tuesday as scabs
are given the preference in the re-
hiring. The scabS are given recog-
milton Of their company union.
At Monday nights session in
Memorial Hall, Thomas Ramsey,
head of the A. F. of L. auto union,
and the other A. F. of L. leaders
divided up the strikers for the first
time, into three meetings. These
leaders forced the workers of each
factory on strike, all Of which are
owned by the same company. to
meet separately. Ramsey further
split the workers by offering higher
wage increases to the women. At
the Auto-Lite workers meeting the
women outnumbered the men, who
put up strong opposition. Ram
sey refused to allow a discussion on
the agreement and a recount of the
vote, which was close.
The majority of the workers in
the Bingham Stamping and Logan
Gear are men and opposition was
strong. But the Auto-Lite settle
ment was used to batter down the
and force acceptance of
the settlement in these two meet
