SeamenBlock Govt
Plan to Take
Relief from Them

BALTIMORE, Md.-Mass resent
ment on the part of the seamen
here and the threat of march on
Washington prevented the State
Relief Commissioner Harry Green
stein from carrying out his plans
to take over the administration of
relief which is now in the hands
of a committee elected by the sea-
men.
GreenStein at a meeting here Mon
day proposed that the administra-
ton of the relief should be in the
hands of a federal administrator
and that the seamen should work
an average of two days week for
So a day.
These proposals were unanimously
rejected by the seamen who de-
manded that their own committee
remain in charge of the relief and
that the wage for relief work should
be $3.50 day, and that all jobs
should be handled through the Cen
trail Shipping Bureau.
These demands were won and
meeting was scheduled for yester-
day at which the question OF how
many days work a week would be
allowed the seamen will be settled.
Steps have been taken to mobilize
the seamen against any attempts of
the government to take the admin
istration of relief out of the hands
Of the seamen.

One of the first organizations to
send tourists into the Soviet Union,
World Tourists, Inc, has arranged
tours for many groups and delega-
tions of workers and students for
the May Day celebration and other
important events held in the U. S.
S. r. This year a student delega-
tion is being organized and the
delegation from the Friends of the
Soviet Union is being booked
through this agency.
One of the features of the World
Tourists service includes the privi-
lege of sending workers who want
rest cures to the sanatoriums in the
Caucasus and the Crimea at very
low rate. This rate includes the
rail transportation from the Soviet
border to the rest home, as well as
return transportation to the border.
Only a limited number of workers
can be sent so as to reserve the
facilities for those who actually
need the cure. Medical attention
and treatment are provided at no
additional cost.
World Tourists, Inc, also arranges
combination Soviet and European
tours at very moderate rates.

Ontario County eva Strikers
Demand Pay Rise, No FHings

We had been getting SIS a week.
This was cut to $12 for a 24-hour
week, and later cut to $3.50 by re-
ducing wages to 40 cents an hour.
About 200 went out at first The
workers spread the strike, so that
on Monday, at 10 am, the entire
county was out"
The $50 strikers, now in the sec
ond week of the strike, have closed
down all C.W.A. work in the county,
and have pulled out the county

ing so cents an hour for 30-hour
week, union wages to apply, recog-
milton of the strike committee, con-

free transportation to and from the

workers, the immediate dismissal of
all foremen, who are not in need
and have been given jobs through

the county board.
300 March in Geneva
E,cspite the attempts of the
county C.W.A. administration to
break the strike by prolonging a
settlement, the spirit of the strikers
is high. On Thursday, 300 strikers
marched through the streets of
Geneva carrying banners and shout
ing slogans, while 5000 onlookers
cheered them on.
Dances are being arranged to pay
expenses of the strike and to spread
it to surrounding counties. The
men are determined to stay on

county relief administration to
grant relief to all strikers which is
in excess of the present starvation

AFL Heads Have Bad
Time Keeping Men
From Walking Out
Other Auto Workers
Wait for Fisher Men to
Begin Strike
By FRANK ROGERS

. CLEVELAND, March I'll
A wave of bitter resentment
is sweeping the 5000 workers
at Fisher Body plant against
the orders of the A. F. of l..
bureaucrats who called of the strike
Of the auto workers scheduled for
Wednesday at 9 am.
The A. F. Of L. leaders had to be
on hand personally all day Wednes-
| day and Thursday in order to pre-
vent the strike. The workers gath
cred in small groups in the plant
discussing the possibility of strik-
ing over the heads of the A. F. of L.
leaders.
THE latest we will wait is Mon
day." is the sentiment amongst the
men who understand that the pro-
posed 10 day truce will enable the
auto manufacturers to complete
their orders and defeat any strike
action at this late date.
The A. F.. Of L. leaders have open
ly appealed to the employers to CO.
operate with them in getting rid Of
trouble makers" which means that
any militant worker who demands
action, will be fired. The rank and
file of the A. F. of L. in Fisher are
demanding a meeting Of the local
but the leaders fear that the situa-
ton will get beyond their control
and are appealing to the workers
not to meet until word comes from
the Washington conference.
The Murray-Ohio plant employing
about 1900; Winton Engine plant of
600 and scores of other smaller auto
parts plants are waiting and look
ing for the Fisher Body plant work
ers to lead and strike. Action by the
Fisher Body workers would I'M
doubtedly bring out scores of other
smaller plants in the city and slim
ulate action in other industries.
Other Plants Striking
Over 300 wrkers in the Addresso-
graph Multigraph Co. went on strike
today against the action of the La
Dor Board who, according to the
A. F. of L. workers, are encourag-
ing the workers to join the company
union instead of an Outside" union.
The A. F. of L. members, without
the OK. of the union leaders, shut
off the power and blew the whistle,
and succeeded in getting the entire
plant out on strike.
When this militant action became
known to the workers thru the local
press, Immediately the A and B box
plant workers followed suit and shut
off the power in the plant and called
a meeting to demand wage increase.
There is no organization in this
plant. The company promised pay
increase.
Furniture Workers Strike
Some 300 workers in the Cleve-
land Furniture Co. today withdrew
from the A. F. of L. union because
the leaders offered nothing but
promises and the N.R.A. code. They
came to the Furniture Workers IN

city-wide actions are being carried
through, and effectual united fronts
are being formed from below with

Not Seeking Equality
for Negroes;DePrie
Attempts to Whitewash
Govt Responsibility for
House Discrimination

] WASHINGTON, D. c., March 49,
Congressman oscar De Priest, Negro
millionaire representative from Illi-
nois, finally took the floor Wednes-
day on the question of the exclusion
Of Negroes from the House restau-
rant. The restaurant is operated by
the House Accounts Committee.
In a 25-ninute speech, Mr.. De
Priest abjectly apologized for en-
barrassing the jim-crow government
by raising the issue of discrimina-
ton. He declared q servile accept
ance of the imperialist dictum of
social land thereby raclsD inferiori-
ty of the Negro people. He explained
his raising of the Issue as motivated
by the mass anger Of the Negro
people and his fear OF reputation
at the polls. He at the same time
subtly assured the House he had no
intention of spelling his long record
of usefulness down here in Con-
greSs" Ito the jim-crow capitalist
syssem), stating:
I've been informed that If I
press this question it might hurt
my helpfuIness down here in Con-
yress. If 1 didn't press it 1 would
not come back after the next
electiOn-the people in my district
would repudiate me-"
Tried to AbsoIve Federal Gov
eminent.
Throughout his speech, Congress-
man De Priest tried to absolve the
national government from respon-
, sibility for the rank discrimination
against Negroes in the House res
taurant. He placed sole responsible
ity for the jim-crow policy on Rep
resentative Lindsay Warren, of
North Carolina, chairman of the
House Accounts Committee. and on
''the people of North Carolina" He
carefully evaded the known fact
that the jiin-crow policy has the
support Of the bulk of Congressman.
He thereby sought to divert the
mass anger of the Negro people and
and Negro and white workers from
the national government which, by
it's exclusion and expulsion Of Ne
groes from the House and Senate
restaurants, segregation Of Negroes
at the Senate committee hear
ing on the Costigan-W Wagner anti
lynching bill and N.RA. code diff
ferentials, gives official sanction to
jim crowism and discrimination
against Negroes. And to cap his
treachery, he assured the House that
he was not arguing for social
equality.
Pretends House Discrimination Is
Something New
He pretended that the House dis
elimination is something new, al
though Negroes, outside of himself
and his guests, have been barred
from the public restaurant for years.
"I have been here for good many
years and never before was there
any such discrimination" he stated
He ignored similar jim-crow prac-
tees in the Senate restaurant and
throughout the District of Colum-
bia, which is under federal jurisdic-
ton and Is VIGOROUSLY a hot-bed
of race prejudice.
Reading a letter from Represen-
tative George B. Terrell, Texas
Democrat, in which the latter stated,
II am not in favor of social equality
and I neither eat nor sleep with
Negroes" Mr.. De Priest gave dis
torted Interpretation of social equal
ity, narrowing it down to IAN ex-
change of visits from home to home
and not by appearing in the same
public dining room"
