Rochester Workers Hail
Upstate Contingent of
Hunger March Delegates
Especial to the Daily worker

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 6.-The
upstate contingent of the State
Hunger March, led by a workers
band and joined by several hundred
workers, marched from the Central
Park Unemployment Council to the
Lithuanian Hall here yesterday,
where the marchers reported.
George Brickner, Socialist Party
state committeeman, said that his
party had acted exactly like the
other capitalist parties, adding that
the rank and file Fundamentally
support the Hunger March. He
called upon the workers to carry
forward the struggle for unity and
to rally behind the National Con-
gress for Unemployment Insurance,
which will be held in Washington
on Jan. 5, and 7.
Ben Lapidus, leader of the up
state contingent, and Henry Shep-
ard, District organizer of the
Communist Party, spoke on the
need of building the Unemployment
Councils and carrying forward the
unity of the entire working class in
the fight for the Workers Unem-
ploynent Insurance Bill.

Young Communists in
Drive to Increase
Membership
BY JOHN MARKS

Hundreds Of thousands Of Amer
lean youth are entering the field of
working class economic and polit-
ical struggles. The youth were the
backbone of the militancy that
characterized the recent textile
strike. They took their place on
the flying squadrons and a number
of youth gave their lives in the
fight against the intolerable condi-
lions in the mills. The militant
response of the youth to the strike
is most encouraging if we consider
the fact that for many of them,
this was their first taste of the
class struggle. In the strike battles
many of their illusions regarding
capitalist democracy have been shat
tered. The class nature of society
has been revealed in all its naked
ness. The militant textile youth
are an immediate potential source
of strength for the Communist
movement. The courage and de-
votion that they displayed on the
picket lines is the material from
which Communists are made. They
must be won for Communism.
In Political Field
Likewise in the field of political
struggle the youth are displaying
encouraging signs Of political
awakening. Is not the response of
the large strata of youth to the

hundreds of loyal and trained
workers for the Party in a very
short period of time.
The Y.C.L. is now engaged in a
drive to increase it's membership
from 1000 to $4,000 by January /.
1t is possible to recruit more than
5000 new young Communists in the
period of the next two and a half
months. But, it can only be done
with the full support of every Party
member, every Party unit and Party
Committee. Cannot the Party dur
ing its own recruiting drive win at
least 1000 youth for the Y. C. L.?
Are there not hundreds of youth
who can be won for the Y. C. L.
in the mass organizations, in the
trade unions where there are mem
bers of the Communist Party?
The thousands of Party members
who spread the Daily Worker can
also undertake to sell the Young
Worker and thus bring the message
of the Y. C. L. to thousands of
youth who have never heard of the
Young Communists. Each Party
unit can recruit at least five youth
for the Y. c. L. only through the
distribution of the Young Worker
and youth literature, and through a
little effort among the youth with
whom they have daily contacts al
ready.
The Young Communists have par
tieularly weak connections with the
youth in industry. The Party can
help to strengthen the young Com
munists' base in the shops by CIV
ing special attention to recruiting

Mine Union
Nominee Put
On Charges

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. g.
Word has been received at the Of
flee Of the United Mine Workers
rank and file Goal Digger" that
John Sloan, rank and file candidate
for international president opposing
John L. Lewis in the Dec. IL cleo
lions, must appear before the in
ternational board of the union in
Washington, D. c., Nov. 8, to an
swer charges of violating a consti-
tutional clause prohibiting working
with a dual organization"
Sloan, a Westville, Ill, miner who
has been a militant fighter against
the Lewis bureaucrats, enjoys the
support of broad numbers of the
rank and file miners and repre-
sents a real threat to Lewis, hence
the latter seeks to take no chances
on a possible defeat by eliminating
Sloan from the ballot.
The charges on which Sloan is to
appear were dismissed against him
by an international commission last
summer, but the sub-district board
members in that Illinois field, all
Lewis puppets, appealed from the
finding of the commission when ii
was learned by the U. M. w. A.
Gear" that Sloan would be an OPP
ponent in the elections.
Lewis has also caused charges to
be brought against John Guynn, OF
Ohio, rank and file candidate for
international vice-president. The
date of his hearing has not been
set.

Board Refuses
TOAct OnFired
Book Workers

The National Labor Relations
Board can do nothing to make the
decisions of the Regional Labor
Board effective, was the reply of
H. A. Mills, chairman of the N. L.
r. B., to the delegation of strikers
Of the Macaulay Publishing Com
pany discharged for constituting a
union shop committee, when they
came to Washington to demand i'm
mediate action on the decision of
the Regional Labor Board that they
be reinStated.
The delegation of striking work
ers accompanied by a committee of
prominent writer's was headed by
Gertrude Lane, organizer of the Of
flee Workers Union, of which the
strikers are members.
In view of the fact that the Trade
Book Publishers Code, which was
signed after the Macaulay strike
started, is not retroactive, according
to Mr.. Mills, the hearing was held
under Public Resolution A, which
makes Section Ia of the N. r. A.
applicable to uncodified industries.
Mr.. Mills, however, claimed that
the N. L. R. B. was not clear
whether the resolution could be en-
forced. He also refused to tell the
delegation when or how soon this
question would be made clear. The
question is being discussed with
persons responsible for the forrnu-
lation of the law" according to
Benedict Wolf, executive secretary
Of the N. L. r. B.
Precedents established, according
to the N. L. R. B., are against their
being able to enforce the law.
The strikers returned to New York
fully convinced that the N. r. A.
will do nothing for them and de-
termined to continue strike activi-
ties and mass picketing. They are
convinced more than ever that only
by strike action can they gain the
reinstatement of the fired workers.
and maintain union conditions in
Macaulay's.
This experience of the Macaulay
strikers, according to Gertrude Lane,
is only additional proof to what has
already been shown in the expert
ences of workers in other industries,
namely that the N. r. A. and its
labor boards are anti-labor in char
acter and that strike action is the
most dependable means for the fight
against the onslaught of the en-
ployerS and for the gaining of the
demands of the workers.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov. 6.-Repre-
sentatives Of eight working class Or

plan action against the new relief
cuts which range from 10 to 35 per
cent, and demand immediate in
creased winter cash relief and en-
actment Of the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill.
The delegates unanimously voted
to call an emergency conference of
all working class organizations for
Saturday, Nov. II, at l pm, at Mir
ror Hall, 1876 North Western Ave.
Trade Unions, labor and mass or
CARNATIONS, churches and workers
in the shops have been asked to
elect two delegates to this confer
ence, which will lay final plans for
the united front demonstration and

The organizations represented at

ment and the militant trade union
ist Hans Pfeifer, presented an APP
peal to the Chicago Federation Of
Labor Sunday, to join in the forth
coming conference and mobilize for
the Nov. "a demonstration. A COM
munication to this effect was sent
to the Federation also.
John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Federation, read the comnunica-
ton, and refused to grant the dele
cation the floor. Despite this. Hans
Pfeifer took the floor in the face Of
Fitzpatrick's threats, raised the
question of relief and unemploy-
ment insurance, and called upon the
delegates to endorse the march.
A motion was made from the floor
to join in the movement, and after
considerable discussion in which the
delegates asked to support the
march, vote was taken. Although
1t was clear that the "ayes" we're
in a majority, Fitzpatrick ruled that
the motion was lost.
A motion was made and passed to
refer the matter to the Executive
Board which meets Friday. The
committee preparing the march has
called upon all locals to send dele
gates to the board meeting and
press for participation in the united

a source of joy? Is not the decision
OF the youth at the First American
Youth Congress to reject the fas-
cist program that was proposed at
the Congress and the adoption in
its stead of the militant program,
proposed by the Young Commu-
nists, also an indication of ire
mendous political advance?

farmers of the United States to-
day.
Here in the United States the
crisis deepens. Roosevelt has failed
to solve a single question of the
crisis. He has only succeeded in
increasing the misery of the people
in order to swell the profits Of the
Morgans and Rockefeller monopo-
lies.
Roosevelt Tool of Monopolies
The Roosevelt government is the
agent and tool OF the biggest Wall
Street monopolies. Behind the
sweet promises of the New Deal
are the brutal realities of intensi-
fed capitalist exploitation. The
shooting Of workers on picket lines,
the police terrorism against the
unemployed, the growing move
ment toward the outlawing Of
strikes masked by such sweet words
as industrial truce" all show the
way Roosevelt will move in the
coming months as the class strug-
gle sharpens all over the country.
Roosevelt organizes fascist reaction.
Roosevelt prepares for imperialist
war. He is the chief organizer of
reaction and terrorism against the
working class.
Today as we celebrate the tri-
unphs Of the working class Of the
Soviet Union, their building Of a
Socialist society free from the
curses that make life miserable for
the workers under capitalism, the
revolutionary lessons Of the Octo-
Der Revolution take on an imme-
diate meaning. We must follow in
the footsteps of the Russian Bolshe-
viks, the footsteps Of Lenin and
Stain. 1t is the question of the
overthrow of capitalism, the seizure
of power by the working class that
now becomes part of the every day
struggle for bread and for security.
The Roosevelt New Deal" looms
more and more to the masses as
the program of the class which ex-
ploits and Expresses them, the Wall
Street capitalists. More and more
"the idea of Sto-ming the citadels
Of capitalism is maturing in the
minds of the masses" (Stalin.)
The crisis of American capital
ism deepens, and the misery of the
masses deepens bringing closer the
time of which Lenin spoke during
the first days of the October Revo-
luton, the days when millions and
tens of millions of people learn
more in week than they do in a
year of usual routine life"
This is what happening in the
United States. AS the masses strug-
gle for bread, for relief, against ter
rorism, against evictions and fore
closures we must spread the inter-
national meaning of the October
Revolution, we must raise the slo-
gan of Soviet America, toward a
Socialist society free from the plum
dering of the Wall Street exploiters!
Hail the October Revolution! Hail
its revolutionary lessons! For the
dictatorship of the proletariatl For
the smashing of the Wall Street
dictatorship and the setting up of a
government OF workers and farm
ers' councils, a Soviet America.
