 Washington, May l. UP)- Representative leaders of big bus mess today turned to whitening verbal attack upon President Roosevelt's recovery program.
 They told the 23rd annual con. vention of the United States Cham Der of Commerce that the new deal is an emergency setup-and that the emergency is over.
 Brushing aside Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper's plea for patience and refusing to take their cues from the middle-of-the- road keynote address of President Henry I. Herriman, they denounced nearly all the major alphabetical agencies.
 They called the MIRA in part a failure and the AAA a drag upon agriculture. They criticized the IVA. They mentioned "chaos" and 'ignominous retreat" Some exe- cutives of the chamber admitted privately they were concerned over tenor of the speechmaking, al- though Hartman insisted the bitter words against the new deal simply were a, sign that the depression is lifting.s
 Secretary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper, facing an openly hostile audience, denied last night that the new deal wound destroy private en- terprise and pleaded for coopera- ton with the administration.
 The new deal, he said. ''is not in- tended to destroy business" but to find ways and means of pro- tecting all concerned against acts and agencies which, if left un- guided, will utterly destroy our democratic civilization"
 Wendell L. Willkie, New York, president of the Commonwealth and Southern corporation, which is fighting the Tennessee Valley au- thority, condemned pending leg islation, calling for new kind of labels on foods.
 Paul S. Willis, president of the Associated Grocery Manufacturers, fiayed the proposed pure food and drug legislation, calling for a new kind of labels on foods.
 Frederic S. Snyder, Boston finan- cier, decried what he said were ef- forts to inject politics into the fed- eral reserve board.
 Lawrence M. Judd, former gov- ernor of Hawaii, said sugar leg islation, lowering Hawaii's quotas. has shaken faith of the citizens there in the new deal.
 , The only major address not con- cerned directly with the frailties of government, was delivered by E. A. Hayes, former commander of the American Legion, who blamed the indifference of his businessman listeners for the spread of com munism in America.

 FOR DUST STORMS
Federal Expert RecOnl- mends Use of Sod Crop
 and Pasture Lands

Washington (UPl--Advice ot how to stop dust storms was pub lished recently in a Department of Agriculture bulletin. The advice was given by pr Charles E. Kel- logg, acting chief of the soil survey of the Bureau of Chemistry aud Soils, who observed last summers disastrous dust storm.
 Dr Kellogg emphasized that ''some soils are far more subject to blowing than others and said this fact is the key to the proD- lem"
 The solution lies in devoting to pasture and sod crops those soils most subject to blowing, he ex- plained, together with effective til- lage methods on the lands less vul- nerable to wind.
 He recommended use of special type blows and cultivators, the planting of shelter belts, more carefully planned crop rotation and better control of grazing.

Police Attack on
Milwaukee Strike

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. "A
conference of officials Of the three
unions conducting the strike Of the
Boston Store, now in it's fifth week,
and representatives of the owners
went into session Monday. Only
four union officials and company
representatives are involved and no
reports have been made public yet.
Thus far the company has agreed
to small wage increase, but union
recognition is refused. 1t is reported
that the Boston Store owners may
agree to recognizing committees
representing only the union mem
bers in the store for collective bar
gaining. In preparation for this
move the employers have organized
company union which is called
the Boston Store Clerks Self Gov
erning Association" and includes all
those who refused to come out on
strike.
Seven pickets were arrested and
several women had to be taken to
the first aid station set up by the
strikers, as a result of an attack on
pickets by police, during Saturdays
picket demonstration. Two of the
large display windows of the store,
facing Wisconsin Avenue, were
smashed.

all of these points it is recognized
that satisfactory arrangements
should be made to allow criticism
of both parties of each others larger
political aims and it is further I'M
derstood that such united front &C
ton would not in any way curtail
the autonomy of each party nor
limit their agitational or organiza-
tional work.
In submitting this letter we feel
that we are voicing the sentiments
of the ma jority of Socialists and
Communists in the south as we'll as
all honest trade unionists. Affirn1a :
tive action at this time will do
much to strengthen such efforts as
have already been made to form a
determined body of workers and
farmers struggling against misery
and developing fascism in farm and
factory.

|. L. ID. in New England
Takes Larger Offices
As Activities Increase

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2.-The
Eastern New England District of
the International Labor Defense
announced yesterday that it has
moved into larger and better offices
at S Harrison Ave. The I. l.. D.
will occupy the fourth and fifth
floors at this address. The tele-
phone number remains the same,
Devonshire 9119.
This move was necessary in view
of the greatly increased activities
of the 1. L. D. in connection with
the fight for the freedom of the
Scottsboro boys and Angelo Hern-
don and in defense of all other class
war prisoners. The new office will
be equipped to handle large in
crease in work and at the same
time will have space enough for
various committees and OF h r
groups to meet.
An appeal has been issued to all
sympathizers and members of the
I. L. D. to send funds to carry
through this plan for charging the
I. L. D. office, painting it, building
partitions, and for office rent.
All workers are invited to visit
the new office of the l. L. D. at S
Harrison Ave, Boston, Mass, and
volunteers are also needed to put
the office in shape for work.

State Bodies OF Southern Socialists Urged
To Complete Agreement on the United Front

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. a.
Acting on the decision of the re-
cent National Executive Committee
meeting, and pointing to the actual
joint actions which are being pre-
pared, leading Socialist Party men,
bers today issued call to the State
organizations of the Socialist Party
urging the formation of united front
agreements with the Communist
Party on the vital issues facing the
working class.
Referring to the united front ac-
tons of the Arkansas farmers and
the Alabama sharecroppers, as well
as the joint actions against the
Huey Long gangs, and in defense of
the Spanish revolution, the state
ment, signed by Myles Horton, ex-
ecutive committee member of Ten
nessee; zilla Halves, Southern La
Dor Secretary of the S. p, and
James Dombrowski of Tennessee,
calls upon the states to act on the
basis of the recent Chattanooga
united front statement, signed by
other prominent Socialist Party
members, including Francis Henson,
secretary of the Revolutionary Pol
icy Committee in the S. P.
The full statement follows:
To the members of the State Elk
ecutive Committee of the Socialist
Party in all southern States:
At recent United Front meeting
in Chattanooga on Dec. 6 of So
cialists and Communists it was
agreed that economic distress in
the south under the New Deal in

South and to develop an aggressive

for Negroes and the unity of white
and Negro labor.
5. Support united front action

Tense in it's struggle for the needs
of the exploited farm population.
Anti-Lynch Farley Planned
Point number one is being made
concrete in the preparations OF a
broad united front conference in
the south against lynching and for
trade union and constitutional
rights.
We would call the attention to
the state executive committees to
several significant steps taken re-
Gently to effect such united action
in the south. In addition to the
United Front conference in Chat
tanooga already mentioned, there is
an effective united front between
the S. P. and the C. P. as shown
in the joint unemployed demonstra-
tions against armed gangs of
the Long and Walmesly factions
and the joint meetings in support
of the brave struggles of the revo-
lutionary workers in Spain. 1t is
seen in the beginning of joint ac-
ton of the Share Choppers Union
in Alabama and the Southern Ten
ant Farmers Union in Arkansas
against the misery in the cotton
fields.

Dock Workers
Win Against
Custer Order
LongshOre Union Heads
Forced To Reinstate
Old Members

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 2.-Charter
members Of Local 1856, International
LrongShoremen's Association, forced
Polly Baker, president Of the union
in the Philadelphia district to re-
instate them in good standing, fol-
lowing conference in Trenton last
Friday.
The reinstatement is a result of
months Of struggle during which
the case of the Trenton longshore-
men who were locked out of their
union hall by the reactionary Baker
because they founght against his
appointed officers Of the local, was
taken to all the locals Of the LILA,
to the International ONCE in New
York, and to the entire trade union
movement Of Trenton. During that
period the longshoremen, founders
of the Trenton local, we're forced off
the docks and their places we're
taken by non-union men. The long
shoremen report that the local pres
ident, Hornstein, was giving work
permits to non union men at a
commission amounting from 10 to
rs per cent Of their wages.
Resolutions Adopted
Thirteen A. F. of L. locals in Tren-
ton adopted resolutions demanding
that Joseph Ryan, international
President OF the LILA. should rein
state the ousted longshoremen. A
delegation OF the locked out work
ers came to New York to see Ryan,
but were refused an audience. An
other delegation waited for Ryan
in his ONCE for three days until
they finally cornered him. Ryan
denied any jurisdiction in the case
but promised a conference between
district officials, local officers and
the men. In the meantime Ryan
threatened to lift the local charter
altogether and in that way sought
to divert attention from the struggle
within the local for removal of the
oficers.
Reinstatement Offered
At Fridays conference reinstate-
ment of all longshoremen wa
offered, but removal of the ap-
pointed officers was refused. They
were to stay in Office until the next
local election in November, 1885.
The longshoremen here realize
that they have won only partial
victory. AS long as the appointees
remain in office there will be dis
elimination against the militant
rank and file members, and Horn
STEMS profitable work permit racket
will continue. In taking their case
to the locals Of the LILA. and the
other trade unions they exposed how
the job racket works in their local
and that it is only an example OF
methods used in many A. F. Of L.
locals. They are determined to con-
tinue the fight against every at
tempt at discrimination.

creases daily. The growth of labor
unions and the spread of the strike
movement and other militant strug-
giles against hunger and misery are
being met by an intensified fascist
drive on the part of the ruling class
In this situation the United Front
becomes the key question before the
southern workers and farmers
Following the action of the N E..
c. Of the S. P. meeting in Boston
Nov. 80 to Dec. l, authorizing state
executive committees to enter into
negotiations with other working
class parties for a. united front, we,
the undersigned members of the S.
P. call upon the state executive
committees of all southern states to
call special session for the pur-
pose of effecting a united front be-
tween the Socialists and the Com
munists and other working class
groups within each state.
Issues Pointed Out
We suggest as a base for United
Front Action the following issues
which were agreed upon at the
Chattanooga conference mentioned
above:
l. The struggle against war and
fascism, against lynching, against
the denial of constitutional rights
and for the disbanding of the K.
K. K. and other fascist bands.
.. A sustained effort to pass the
Lundeen Workers Unemployment
and Social Insurance Bill.
3. Against the New Deal differ
entail in wages and relief for south
ern labor.
