STEEL PLANT
VOTE HALTED
Company Union Agents
Press Court Fight
Against Poll

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. s.
The election ordered by the Steel
Labor Relations Board in the Du-
quesne, Pa, and Mcdonald, Ohio,
plants of the Carnegie Steel Corpor-
alton, was stalled yesterday when,
through it's company union, the
corporation took court action in
Philadelphia and Cincinnati Circuit
Courts of Appeals.
The election was ordered as a
means Of determining if the steel
workers want to be represented by
the Amalgamated Association of
Iron. Steel and Tin Workers of the
A. F. of L. or the employe repre-
sentation system of the company
The action of the corporation to
stall election plans was taken
through individuals who presented
themselves as Representatives of the
members of the company union.
These company agents argued that
the Steel Labor Board should review
the case, contending that the COM
pany representation plan was a
democratic form for collective bar
gaining" and election of its repre-
sentatives was voluntary"
Charlton Ogburn, counsel for the
American Federation of Labor and
the Amalgamated Association, dec
Jared that members of the company
union have never authorized these
so-called representatives to sue in
their behalf.
THE employee representation plan
is not an organization of employees. -
Mr.. Ogburn stated. Testimony in
this case shows that the company
union has neither dues nor treas
ury, and that the fees of the attor-
ney representing it were paid by the
Carnegie Steel Corporation"
From all indications months will
| pass before court action will be COM
4 pleted. In the meantime Mike
Tighe, president of the AA.. and
William Green. try to keep the steel
workers from militant action with
the idea that every step in the end
less legal red tape must be COM
piled with. Reports of steel produc-
ton show rapid increase spurred
by demands from the automobile
manufacturers in the race to COM
plete orders for the season and who
hope that strike action by the work
ers will be held back long enough.
However the organizational drive
in the industry, pushed by the ac-
tive live wires in the union, is go
ing forward with full speed. A call
for mass rank and file conference
of steel workers on Feb. will go
out next week and it is expected to
mark the high-watsr mark in the
advance towards a struggle to es-
! tablish the A.A. in the industry.

RESOLUTION
SCORES PLOT
AGAINST C.P.
Chicago Workers Win
Victory Against the
Hearst Forces

In q vigorous resolution $50 min
listers of the Methodist church have
denounced the virulent "snti-Red"
campaign now being carried on by
William Randolph Hearst and his
chain of newspapers.
The ministers especially de-
nounced proposals to suppress the
Communist press and the re-estab-
lishment of a secret service section
in the Department Of Justice aimed
at militant labor.
The resolution was adopted with
out single dissenting vote at
recent meeting Of the New York
Weekly Preachers Meeting held at
the offices of the Methodist Fed
Grafton for Social Service, $50
Fifth Ave, New York City.
The ministers. as spokesman for
thousands of parishioners in New
York and New Jersey, were out
spoken in their denunication of
Hearst's campaign of terrorism
against teachers in American COL
leges, universities, schools and
even private schools" The resolu-
ton declared that this terrorism is
particularly vicious and insidious
because it masquerades under the
guiSe of pretended patriotism and
because it is aimed not only at COL
lege teachers but at the very spirit
and practise of free inquiry, dis
cussion and teaching, whether in
the school or the church"
The resolution hailed the recent
protest against the Hearst anti
Red drive by fifty leading educa-
tors, and declared:
Whereas, proposals have been

ing Its Aims
By Carl Reeve
DAILY Worker STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
A great advance in broadening the
united front of all workers, farmers,
professionals in the fight for real
unemployment insurance and relief
and the fight for the Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill H. r.
2827. was emphasized by Herbert
Benjamin in his speech closing the
National Congress for Unemploy-
ment Insurance.
This decided step forward was
seen throughout the Congress in the
delegation Of 661 A. F. of L. mem
bers who were delegates. in the
more than so Socialist Party mem
bers who we're delegates, in the
large delegation OF several hundred
professionals, and above all in the
spirit Of unity on fighting program
which permeated the Congress from
beginning to end.
In spite of the fact that Norman
Thomas was unable to take part in
the Congress because of other en-
gagements, in spite of the right
wing Socialist Party leaders attacks
on the united front 81 Socialist
Party members who were delegates
or guests signed declaration
pledging support to the purposes Of
the Congress, and declaring. I'VE be-
lieve that this Congress contains the
basis for broad united front of
all workers and farmers" Other
Socialist Party members sent in
their names to be added to the
statement as the Congress proceed
ed. The statement Of the Socialist
Party members declared
Socialist Members Statement

Congress for Unemployment and
S ocia Insurance, representing
either Socialist locals, districts OF
committees. or unemployed or other

gress.
we pledge our support to carry
out the principles and actions pro-

I'VE believe that this congress

PROGRAM SET
BY COUNCILS
National Convention of
Unemployment Councils
Opens in Capital
tsp.eiaI to tn. Daily wcrk.rl

WASHINGTON, Jan. The
program Of the fourth national
convention of the National Unem-
ployment Council which opened
here today declares that the cen
trail issue before the whole working
class, industrial, white collar and
professional, is the demand for
Unemployment and social insurance.
But as the initiators Of the ma
tionwide struggle for the enact
ment of Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance H. R. 1927
formerly H. r. 1899 in the last
session Of the United States Con-
gress. and as the guiding force be-
hind the historic National Congress
for Unemployment Insurance, the
Council declares in its program that
social and unemployment insurance
is not the solution for the capital
ist crisis or the problems confront
ing the working masses.
AS a central task, the Councils
set for themselves the Job of mobi-
lizing the masses for militant
struggle against all opposition to
the Workers Bill, be it on the part
of the bankers. the Federal admin
istration, the leadership of the
American Federation Of Labor, the
Socialist Party, or Of any reformist
or reactionary organization.
Reviews Congress
On this score the Council con-
vention reports reviewed the work
Of the mighty Unemployment In
surance Congress which has Just
closed its sessions here. Numbered
among the delegates were 616 from
the locals of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, BOT of whom were
elected directly by local unions and
central labor councils and more
than fifty delegates from the
branches of the Socialist Party.
The Council program declares,
moreover, that unemployment and
social insurance is no solution for
the crisis or the problems con-
fronting the masses under cap
italism but considers it necessary
for every worker to have at least
this measure of protection under
the present system. I'VE are not
responsible for the crisis" the pro-
gram declares. I'VE demand the
right to live and earn living. This
d nand we will fight for"
The program reviews the govern
ment relief policies in the sixth
winter OF crisis and in the face Of
rising unemployment AND destitu-
ton. To-day restitution faces the
toiling population, the program
states. Not only the industrial
workers. but the white collar and
professional workers, the poor
farmers and the masses of Negroes
suffer from the New Deal with
all its promises and pledges to the
toiling population"
In the face of this situation. the
Roosevelt government, by decree.

FARLEY FIRED
$4,000 FROM
MAIL SERVICE
Report Shows Wall St.
Transport Barons Got
Big Subsidies

WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The an
nual report of the United States
Postmaster General, James A. Far
lev. Roosevelt's political henchman,
shows that the Federal Government
has fired $4,000 postal workers since
the crisis began, has instituted the
practice of cutting down weekly pay
envelopes of the poorest paid sec
tons of the postal employees through
the spread work plan. and, at the
same time, continues to pay millions
of dollars in subsidies to inside"
ocean and airline shipping compa =
MES.
To reduce expenses, the number
of employees has been cut from
254956 in 1929 to 22o ,64s on June
30, 1884
Airlines Got 2O.OOO,0OO
The government paid out $40, 900, :
900 to airline companies. An in
vestigation begun in October, 1888,
revealed that the airmail contracts
had been procured through corrup-
ton, graft and fraud.
The report showed that while the
Federal Government was cutting the
income of its postal employees to
reduce expenses, its subsidies to the
Wall Street transport companies
steadily increased. Ocean shipping
companies got $28,692, 900 in 1884,
compared with grants of S25, 228 DOC
in 1888, and $21 ,666, 900 in 1882,
The airline companies, which are
controlled indirectly through The
firm of j. P. Morgan. received sub
sides of almost $55 100000 in the
past three years, the report showed
AS a result of these huge grants to
private companies, the postal serv-
ice showed a gross operating deficit
Of $54,961 900 which Farley attempts
to hide with juggling of figures,
Cost People IS Million
The report shows that the in
crease of mailing letters from two to
bllleC CCllOo lldS COSb bllC PCODAE
SITS 100000 in one year an amount
which could have been saved by
stopping the subsidies to the private
companies.
/ AS part of the Roosevelt econ
omy' program, the service of 2.9l2
rural free delivery routes was dis
continued bringing discomfort and
hardship to thousands of rural
/ families.
Following the present practice Of
granting large subsidies to ocean
shipping companies for carrying
small bags of mail, in order to keer
the merchant marine in good shape
for war purposes, Farley's report
states, 1T is assumed that the gov
ernment's policy of giving financia,
aid to the domestic transport
and American companies operating
foreign transport will be con-
/ tinued.

Mussolini, Pilsudski or the bloody
Balkan dictators. With the front
of labor broken its forces divided
with the foreign born workers
dashed into submission, the bosses
know it will be easier to force the
native born to accept the same
wage cuts and the same exploita-
ton.
The strength Of the working class
is in its unity. The deportation
drive aims to smash that unity.
This must never succeed. The
workers must strengthen their
united front-native, foreign born,
black. white.
A unified struggle must be init
ated against the criminal treatment
of innocent foreign born workers by
the government. The cause of the
foreign born workers must become
the cause of the entire working
class. More than that: every hon

UOU know. one Of the incest
i things about air travel is the
atmosphere of friendliness and COM
radeship that surrounds aviation,
aviation people and the laymen.
The goodwill and intimacy that
pervades an airline cabin may be
compared to the informality which
exists aboard an ocean liner
there's let-doWn Of barriers, every
one-be he company executive, IA
nous writer, salesman or clerk
meets on common ground.
There's just something about set
ting down to an air journey with
total strangers that results in coy
intimacy among passengers. Elderly
women who ordinarily never would
speak to a stranger, will chat ia
miliarly with their neighbors on a
variety of subjects and woe
betide the neighbor who may be a
flyer or an aviation official e.
for these dear ladies will keep him
occupied the entire trip answering
their questions about plans and air
travel.

the June. 1877, of Arthur's IL
Illustrated Home Magazine, pub
lished in those days by T. S. Ar
thur and Son of Philadelphia, was
brought to The Times-News office
by Walter Watzel today. The mag
azine, the size of which is 6 1-2
by 10 inches, is very much along
the line of the oldGodey's Ladies'
book, then in its hey-day, as was
Harper's Bazaar, and the junior
publication, Golden Days. 3D..
The issue which likely is typical
of the publication opens with a
story of Acre, the principal sea-
port of Syria in those days. 1t
contains fiction, nature stories
and 3. variety of reading matter,
including an article about Charles
Lamb, picturing his home and

This provides for the payment of
the bonus in $2,000,000,000 of
new money. 1t was only by a mar
row margin that the senate sus-
tanned the presidents veto of this
bill last session.
But while leaders were ready
to discuss and forecast the out
come of bonus legislation here
yesterday, they were more wary
j nexpressing their views with
regard to the outcome of other
controversial issues.
In addition to the bonus, how
ever, it is known that definite
legislation with reference to neu-
trality will be Forthcoming, one
of these being to make the mat
ter of embargoes discretionary
rather than mandatory, and one
which will restrain the admins
tration from participating in
League of Nations sanctions,
which would apply first to Italy.
New NRA legislation and pos
sible amendments to the AAA bill
are likely.
Other items on the legislative
list for the Forthcoming session
of congress include:
Regular appropriations, togeth-

Federal ship subsidies.

Railroad pensions.
Pure foods and drugs.
