Congratulations!

THE American Newspaper Guild gained
an important victory when Mr. Ian
dau, publisher of the Jewish Daily Bull
letin, and director of the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, was forced to accede to
the strike demands of his editorial workers.
The agreement between the publisher
and the New York Newspaper Guild calls
for payment of 1883 of back wages, and
regular payment of weekly salaries, the
demands for which the Bulletin chapter of
the Guild struck.
There is to be no discrimination against
strikers.
The American Newspaper Guild is a
growing and fighting organization. The
victory at the Jewish Bulletin shows that
the Guild is following the right road.

STUDENTS PUT SPIVAK'S NAME
ON HONOR ROLL
Brooklyn, N. Y.
by Chopper
comrade Editor:

Comrade Editor:
Today an injustice was commit
ted in my high school which is
worthy of your attention.
Last year the Abraham Lincoln
High School established the Lincoln
Award, the purpose Of which is to
honor the citizen who has made the
most outstanding contribution to
the cause Of public welfare within
the current year.
The nominations for the award
are made by the students in the
English classes and clubs Of the
school. Among those nominated for
this years award by many of the
classes and clubs was John l..
Spivak. I am sending you a copy of
the Lincoln Log" our school pub
ication, to verify my statement.
Today the voting took place. To
the surprise and indignation OF
many students, the name of John
L. Spivak was omitted. (The names
OF DamroScn ana NalenClne were
omitted also, as blind.
Why was this done? Because the
school authorities we're afraid of the
possibility of Spivak'S being selected
by the student body for the award
This occurs in a school whose
principal, DR.. Mason, boasts Of be-
ing a liberal. but whose acts in
dicate to thinking students that he
is just one more tool of the powers
that be.
In closing. I should like to say
that many of US protested by writ
ing the name of Spivak on the bal
lot.
Three cheers for Spivak. who doe:
not need the hypocritical Lincoln
Award to add to his lsurels!
AN INDIGNANT STUDENT.

ASKS MASS TRIAL OF HEARST

syracuse, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
It nauseates me every time read
a Hearst paper to read his vicious
and atrocious lies about the Soviet
Union and the Communist Party.
AS a worker and friend of the
Soviet Union. 1 can see great harm.
done by this vicious propaganda to
instill in the people of this country
a hatred of the .Soviets. It is up
to the masses and the Communist
leadership to expose this plot aimed
at the only party in this country
Which fights for the workers rights.
As a friend of the Soviet Union.
would like to propose a public
trial of Hearst, just as the Com
munist Party exposed Hitler during
the Reichstag trial to free Thael-
mann (Which, incidently, is the way
I became interested in the C. P. and
began to read the Daily Worker
regularly to keep me informed Of
conditions in this countrv). The
working class, through public
trial, would learn the truth about
this monster who has secretly al
lied himself with Hitler as his chief
Nazi propaganda agent in this coun-
try.
I hope the Daily Worker and the
Communist Party will foster this
idea and take immediate steps for
a public trial held in New York
City This in my opinion is the
only way mass pressure can be
created to force Hearst and his
gang to retract their statements. ex-
posing him to the world for what
he really is.

I'VE pledge forces to combat it. We condemn Mr..
Hearsts Red Scare and the super patriotic fraudulent
devices he is employing to achieve his ends The sigma
tories to this document represent widely divergent
flicting political beliefs We in accord, however in
opposition to fascism."
During the past week fifty leading educators and
$50 prominent ministers condemned the Hearst anti
Communist campaign. The present declaration by the
college editors shows that wider strata of Amer
leans of the underlying fascist implications
Of the Hearst drive, and prepared to fight it.

Why not hit Hearst where he is

Would it not be possible to con-
sulners to sign protest lists to be
sent to advertisers in the Hearst

ads in those journals will result in
loss of patronage from the writer's?

I would like to suggest one way
to use and popularize the use of
stamps, such as the Scottsboro Fund
stamp. That is for comrades TO
send them on every letter they send

ADVICE TO RED BUILDERS

Comrade Editor:
Will you please print this in the
Daily Worker for the benefit of the
Red Builders all over the country?
1t is very easy to sell the Daily
Worker if the Red Builder shouts
slogans. Last night I was selling
the Daily Worker on Times Square.
I was shouting the following slogan:
"A billion dollars for war prepara-
tons ard net one penny fer uncm-
ploymert insurance, is ruin Of
President Roosevelt" With this
slogan I succeeded in selling q Daily
Worker to some people who had
never heard of the Daily Worker
before.

COURSE IN HEARST-FASCISM

Comrade Editor:
I see by the papers that the Uni
ve~sity OF San Francisco, inspired
by the vicious attacks of HearsC's
yellow rags on the spreading wave
of Communism on the West Coast.
has established a regular course of
study in order to present the case
against Communism.
The courses are being presented
under the guidance of Reverend
Feeley, who, in announcing the
presentation of his anti-red prop
Uganda. fairly eulogised Hearst.
the mass murderer, for his noble
work in combating the spread of
Communism. The good reverend
neglected to mention that this
monsters chief method of attack is
to completely distort passages from
the works of great revolutionary
leaders in his miserable effort to
confuse the growing class conscious
ness of the great American working
class.
I suggest that the Party contact
Reverend Feeley and offer him the
services Of an authorized speaker IN
order to publicly debate the case
against Communism I have grave
doubts that he would avail himself
of this service. Nevertheless our
com AIDES on the Wes1 Coast must
fight this new attack with every
means at their disposal.

low relief work wages for the $3,500,-
600 jobless who are to be given en-
ployment under the S4,800.000,000

by William Green, president of the

In by opinion the fixing of a
wage scale such as has been an
nounced will cause a great deal of
dissatisfaction, Mr.. Green said.
Il understand that zones have been
outlined and standard rates set for
each zone," he continued. "That
means a departure from the fixing
of wage scales on the basis Of local
conditions to a situation where they
are established on zone basis. 1t
means, therefore, going from a sys-
tenn that provides fexibility to one
that provides rigidity.
THAT will mean injustice For in
stance, Washington, ii all probabil-

Detroit Firm Financed Employees Association"
In Opposition to A. f. of l.. Auto Workers
Union.
All Employees But Company Union Members Banned
From Benefit Society Which the Company Supported.
BY A. F. of L. News Service.

BY A. r. of L. News Service.
The activities of automobile manu-
featuring corporations in promoting
and financing company unions design
ed to interfere with and prevent the
organization of their employees in bona
fde trade unions is pointedly revealed
in the recent investigation which the
National Labor Relations Board
made of the Kelsey Hayes Wheel
Company, Detroit, Mich, in connection
with the petition of United Automo
bile Workers Federal Labor Union
No. 1867 that an election by secret
ballot of the employees be held for the
purpose of choosing an agency for coll
lective bargaining with the company.
The Automobile Workers Union
was organized early in July, 1882,
shortly after the enactment of the
national recovery act.
About the same time, although Sec
tion IA of the act contained a pro-
vision by which congress intended to
ban company promoted unions, off
cials of the Kelsey-Hayes Wheel con-
Germ interpreted the labor section to
mean that congress had given the COM
pany union a definite legal status.
This is clear from the report Of the
Labor Relations Board, which said;
Firm Promotes Company Union
IN July of 1888 the management
advised the formation of an associa-
ton of employees to elect representa-
tives to deal with the management in
order that the provisions of the nation
al industrial recovery act could be put
into effect, and co-operated in the in
stallation of the Employees Associa-
ton, hereinafter referred to as the as

''The association is similar to other

viously considered by this board and il
has for its purpose the promotion Of

vide for the nomination and election
of employe representatives to serve on

SOCIAL SECURITY
Bill Reported To Senate
By A. F. Of L. News Service.

By A. f. of L. News Service.
Washington The senate finance
committee voted favorable report on
the administration social security
bill after making certain changes in
the measure as passed by the house
of representatives.
The bill proposed a tax Of 3 per cent
on payrolls Of employers of more than
10 persons to assist in financing state
unemployment insurance programs.
Agricultural workers, domestic ser
wants and certain other groups are ex-
empted from insurance.
To assist states in establishing old
age pension plans the measure pro-
poses to raise a federal fund by a tax
of 3 per cent on payrolls levied against
both employers and employees. Bene-
fits may run to S85 a month for re-
tired workers of 65 and over. Agri-
cultural workers, domestic servants
and certain other groups are barred
from pension benefits.
The senate committee reinserted in
the bill the original provision author
izing compulsory contributory pen
sion system which would permit en-
/ ployes to purchase annuities jointly
financed by employer -employe contrib
ution. This provision was stricken
out in the bill as it passed the house
Of representatives.

16 or in poor health.
With regard to hours the order pre-
scribed that the maximum hours Of
work shall be determined by the
works progress administrator, but
shall not be in excess of eight hours
per day and 40 hours per week"
In establishing the maximum 40

limitation contained in most NRA
codes, regardless of the fact that a
number of industries are now operat-
ing on the 35-hour week and less.
