The N. r. A. is having more inside
trouble with the Government than
with Henry Ford in enforcing codes.
A certain dealer in cotton waste
had large contract with a Federal
arsenal. The N. R. A. found the
dealer was not operating under the
Blue Eagle and wrote him, advising
him to release his contract with the
arsenal
The dealer was glad to get of with
out punishment or publicity and wrote
to the arsenal agreeing to drop the
contract, but the arsenal refused.
The dealer now is chuckling, the
N. R. A. fuming.
High Speed in Bureau.
The highest speed of efficiency has
been reached in bureau Of the Home

There are tho shifts of ioorkers,
toiltng. eight hours day each.
Heads of each SHIFT haze been pro-
noting a contest to see UIlich can
do the most Uork. The record of
the day shift is submitted to the
night shift, and pice Dersa. Pep
takers demand that each outdo
the other, and the pressure IS
strong.
The latest stunt of the night shift
was to cut Is minutes of the lunch
hour so it could turn out more work.
Apparently they never heard of the
N. r. A.
Ore member OF the N. R. A. Review
Board did not want to sign Lawyer
Darrow's critical report to the Presi-
dent because he did not believe such
strong language against the N. r. A.
should be used in addressing the
President. If there is one man in the
Government here who can put as
much fire in his words as Gen. john
son, it Is Darrow.
Those pho attended the Tydings
dinner here some ,Deeks ago recall
that Speaker Rainey criticized the
administration leadership OF the
Senate sto sorngly that he mored
Senate Leader Robinson to make
an angry reply. 1t is interesting
because OF the abuse which has
been hedped upon Rdiney's leader
ship lately.
The wealthy Senators who promised
to finance the Republican, Senatorial
Campaign Committee have not put
the money up yet, but they probably
will later.

Greater New York Fish
Market Tied Up;
800 Protest

NEW YORK, Feb 2T.-Ihe United
Retail Fish Dealers of Greater New
York went on strike today as a pro-
test against high wholesale prices
Over 800 retailers went into the strike
tying up the whole salt and fresh
water market in New York.
All retail stores will be closed
throughout New York City, Newark
Paterson and Hartford. Extra de-
tails of police and detectives were
on hand to stop the pickets from
preventing scabS from taking their
places.
The retailers demand a posting OF
the amount Of fish coming into the
market daily, which had been kept
from them by the wholesalers who
guarded this in order to make their
own prices higher. Secondly, they
demand the right to collective bar
gaining; thirdly, supervision over
weights and measures by a retail fish
committee: and fourthly, to prohibit
wholesalers from being both pro-
ducers and sellers of fish.
William Fellowes Morgan, Jr., own

He threatened retailers that any at
tempt to picket would be met by the
police. The strikers replied Wits

CARNATIONS Of young workers?
OF course not! This Is all stated in
the program Of the Young Commu-
mist League.
What is there to discover? What
is the secret? What, gentlemen Of
the Hearst press, did you not know
before?
The Communist International and
the Young Communist International
set tasks before the entire world
Communist movement to struggle
against fascism and war. The young
and adult Communists of the United
States are especially active in carry
ing out these decisions because we
are in the heart Of the strongest i'm
perialist country. These decisions
were printed openly in the Daily
Worker and will soon be printed in
pamphlet form for mass circulation.
The purpose Of Mr.. Easley and the
Hears press is not to discover" these
secrets. Their purpose is with the
help Of Matthew Vol and William
Green to try to drive the Communist
movement underground.
But the masses of young and adult
workers will answer them by a still
greater fight for the legality of all
mass revolutionary organizations, q
still greater unity in the struggle
against war and faScisn. The Young
Communist League promises to spread
still further its ideas, to organize the
youth in masses for the struggle for
their own interests, against the grow
ing war preparations on a world
scale and especially right here in the
United States.
Mr.. Easley says:
The Communist objecuTe5 IN
America are

the Party line was brought TO the
railroad workers. Upon close exam
ina.ion Of the actual conditions in
the unit, it was discovered that the
unit organizer, who was In this "con-
centration" unit for a couple of years.
did not understand what the Unity
Movement was; that the majority
OF the unit membership was not ae-
quainted with the form of organiza-
ton OF the brotherlioods; that to
some members of the unit the very
term lodge" was a myth.
1t became clear to everyone that
by simply reading the Open Letter
or by someone delivering a talk on
The Importance of making a turn .
or by passing a resolution to that
effect, the turn will not be made.
Nor could have shake-up in the
unit leadership solve the problem,
though that was vital. Primarily, it
was necessary to enlighten the mem
bership on the general problems of
the railroad workers, and particularly
was it imperative to train the COM
rades in how to do concentration
work among the C. & N. Railroad
workers.
Comrade Fl. S. more than anyone
else realized the above and under
took to establish a study circle which
meets regularly one hour before the
opening of the unit meeting, and
where comrades are trained to carry
on concentration work.
In order for anyone to carry on
successful concentration work among
railroad workers, one must be ac-
quainted with the r. r. Movement,

gan with the study of the railroad
unions. This was followed with a

What is necessary is an theological

It would also be proper, in my opinion.
to assign some units TO concentrate on

Of the unit concentration. 1t Is also
important, If possible, to have a Spe-

through that that our press is giving q

and then for many reasons our press

Control of ''The Crisis
Passes from Du Bots
to Walter White
By CYRIL BRIGGS

NEW YORK.-A drive has been be-
gun to eliminate DR.. W. E. 3. Du Bois
from the top leading clique Of white
imperialists and Negro refounists in
control Of the National Association
for the Advancement Of Colored Peo-
pie. Steps already have been taken
to limit his political control Of the
Crisis" organ Of the Association.
The fight has developed to such an
extent that friends Of Dubois have
formed a committee for his defense,
headed by John S. Brown, Jr.. 247
W. l49th st. On Feb. 5, DR.. Dubois
complained TO this committee that
without consultation with me, the
Board Of Directors Of the N.A.A.CP.
voted to put the sole and exclusive
control Of The Crisis in the hands of
the business manager George Strea-
tori and the assistant secretary (Roy
Wilkins, and they made the assistant
secretary member of The Crisis
board and did not place the business
manager upon it. This meant that
the control of The Crisis virtually
passed to the Office Of the secretary

Dr. Dubois, as the clearest spokes-
man Of Negro bourgeois nationalism.
senses the growing difficulties facing
the N.A.A.C.P. as a result Of the ris-
ing revolutionary mood OF the Negro
masses, the discrediting Of the Ma.
A.C.P. leadership in the Scottsboro
Jordan and other cases, and the
growth Of a genuine rank and file op-
position within the N.A.ACP. itself.
He now attempts to distort the rank
and file opposition, based on the mass
indignation against the traitorous
policies Of the whole leadership, for
his own ends, declaring:
Il am ready to unite with any per-
sons who think as l do in a deter
mined effort to rescue this great Or
ganization and to prepare it for a
new and worthy future"
What diSturbS Dr.. Dubois is the
inadequacy Of the tactics Of the pres
ent leadership in the present situa-
ton Of upsurge Of the Negro masses
He sees the necessity Of q more des-
perate form Of demagogy in order
to divert the Negro masses from the
revolutionary fight against imperial
ism, from joint struggle with the
white toiling masses for their every
day demands and for the overthrow
Of the jim-croB capitalist system.
1t IS, thus, not a quarrel on prin-
ciple or fundamental differences on
which the top leadership Of the N. A.
A. G. P. is split, but on the tactics
in carrying through the fundamental
policy, which is to throttle the rising
liberation movement OF the Negro
masses, strengthen the waning illu-
Sions in the fairness" of the capi-
talist state and collrts-as attempted

were recruited into the Party.
The study and discussion circle idea
was also utilized at another concen-

ers is at present Of great Importance,
as there are hundreds Of thousands of
workers involved on those jobs who
are beginning to express dissatisfac-
ton not only against the individual
employer, but directly against the
government, which is their employer
at present. Still, not much attention
has been given to it by our comrades,
particularly by those who are directly
working on the various C.WA prof.
ects. AS an example, will point, first
of all, to the C.W.A. Fraction meet
ingS of Sections 5 and Is. There are
about $50 comrades in both sections
who are working on relief jobs, but to
the fraction meetings we can never
get more than five or six comrades
from Section 5, and about 20 or rs
from Section Is. Many Of the COM
rades who are on relief jobs did not
find it necessary as yet to join tire

are organized. And those workers
who have joined, many of them do
not attend regularly the meetings of

Various comrades throughout the
District have asked me how we did
1t. The answer is very simple one.
Our section arranged an affair for
the Daily Worker. This affair was
well popularized in the form of leaf
lets in front of all the shops In the
neighborhood. Special letters were
sent out 20 all the revolutionary mass
organizations, pointing out the role
Of the Daily Worker in the class
struggle, and asking them to support
this affair The tickets to this affair
were rs cents. Each 'icket had a stub
which was filled out by the buyer Of
