that resulted in Tighe's expulsion
campaign.
Green refused to be questioned
directly, however, and press dispat-
-ches from Pittsburgh quoted Presi-
dent Tighe as asserting that he
alone would have charge of the or
ganization drive in steel.
Won't Override Tighe
All indications point to the prob
ability that Green will attempt to
patch up the situation in the Anal
gamated by Cancellation if possible
but that he will not directly over
rule Tighe.
Green is generally believed here
to fear the rank and file movement
in the steel union to such an ex-
tent that he will make every effort
to persuade Tighe to conciliate it.
However, how much he will do to-
ward unofacially pressing Tighe to
'relent is generally conceded to rest
upon the continued growth of the
rank and file drive.
One of the officials involved stated
confidentially today that the exec
utive council directed Green to
launch "joint' organizing cam
paign after calling in all those in
terested Significantly, nevertheless,
the Council issued no statement re-
garding its decision, and the Fed
.eration officials generally refused to
be quoted on the subject.
Feel Pressure of Members
One thing remains clear - the
council is launching the organize
zion drive in response to the pres
sure of the rank and file, knowing
that the steel workers are deter
mined to organize the A.A. to win
their demands either with or despite
1T1ghe, Such drive under the
supervision exclusively of Tighe
might be used in an effort to head
OF the rank and file campaign.
Should Green be faced with con-
tlnued evidence of the growth of
the rank and file support, he may
yet force Tighe to officially reinstate
the leaders and lodges. They now
constitute the majority of the A.A.
membership.

Rank and File leaders are under
no illusions regarding the Execu-
tive Councils action. Commenting
on it this morning, William Spang,
District l pittsburgh, president of
the A. A., declared to the Daily
Worker, This victory has only been
brought about through the pressure
of the Rank and File on the In

wait until the A. F. of L. makes up
it's mind to begin the promised
drive, which Green has already
limited will be delayed until after
he attends to other pressing mat

field"
Spang added, 1--WE are determined
that the steel workers shall be Or

and this is the union we intend to
make the Amalgamated.
In order not to lose any time

By StOpPage
Two Departments Win
Half Hour Fight in
South Bend Plant

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Feb. Is
Although a strike of the 1900 Ben
dix Aviation Company workers was
averted last week by a wage in
crease Of five per cent, strong SEN
timent for a strike still remains.
The entire plant came to a stand
still on Wednesday, when workers
Of department "a punch presses
stopped work because Of the speed
up. The welders of 5A quickly
marched TO the locker rooms and
the conveyor Immediately stopped
in their support. Every wheel in
the big plant stopped, as workers
refused to go back before matters
we're adjusted. After a half hours
stoppage the punch press workers
won their demands.
At a strike meeting attended by
1000 Oliver Plow workers, the ques-
ton Of returning to work was
put and not one voted to return.
This followed widely publicized
statements that the company was
receiving letters from workers ask
ing to return. The 1900 strikers
remain solid after more than two
weeks on strike.
Unions are giving increasing sup
port to the strikers A car load of
coal and five hundred bushels of
potatoes were bought for the strikers.
The Studebaker local donated 500
plus a twenty-cent tax upon each
Of its members. Bendix did the
same with a fifty-dollar donation.
Most locals in the city have already
pledged to come out in a sympathy
strike, if the Oliver picket line is
molested in any way. One picket
line joined by the Bendix workers
numbered at least 1000.

but the court refuses to allow any
explanation of Communist theory
and principles.
Testimony Barred
All expert testimony is to be
barred, including an explanation of
Communist theory by Sam Darcy.
Communist candidate for governor
OF California in the last elections.
Although the defense is hampered
in explaining the program and aims
of the Communist Party for social
emancipation and a fuller life for
the toiling majority of the popula-
ton, Judge Lennon allows Special
Prosecutor McAlliste~ full rein to
rave about the beauties of capital
ism. From this touching picture of
the beauties of capitalism is ex-
cluded, by special order Of the judge,
all mention by the defense of the
crisis. dislocation of capitalist in
dustry and agriculture. and chronic
unemployment for millions of toll
ers who face increasing misery and
starvation under capitalism.
Case Continued
A continuance to Monday was
granted yesterday by Judge Lem
mon, who previously denied mo-
ton by Leo Gallagher, Interna-
tional Labor Defense attorney, for
a months continuance. Gallagher
based his motion on the rabid lynch
Indictment in the boss press against
the defendants, which precludes
any chance of an impartial verdict
for the defendants. Gallagher's
motion was made on Wednesday,
after the prosecution rested its
case.
New Attorney
Grover Johnson, I. L. D. attorney,
will enter the case on Monday to
assist Gallagher
Norman Mini, Trotzkyite defend
ant, whose stool-pigeon statement
of last August to the prosecution
has been introduced as evidence,
concluded his testimony yesterday.
Under cross examination by Nc
Allister, he detailed an adventure
Gus scheme for the seizure Of power.
Gallagher told the court that Minis
distorted views on the seizure OF
power are not held by the other
defendants. who will make their
own statements on this question
later. Despite fallacies. and dis
tortions in Minis testimony, due in
part to his own ignorance of Com
munist theory and to TrotZkyite in
structions, the prosecution was
placed at great disadvantage. Even
Minis half-truths made McAllister
squirm.
Albert Goldman, Trotzkyite at
torney for Mini, is now withdraw
ing from the case, to return after
the other defendants have finished
presenting evidence.
The Auditors office announced
today that $l0819.66 has been spent
on the trial so far, although not
half of the bills are in yet. Estimate
is that cost of prosecution has been
$25 900 to date, not including
salaries.
Two of five defendants still held
in jail for lack of bail are very sick,
and the International Labor Defense
has issued another urgent plea for
funds, and for the sending of pro-
tests to Judge Lennon and Gov
ernor Frank Merriam, both at Sac
ramento, Calf. demanding the
dropping of the charges against the
defendants. and repeal of the anti
labor criminal syndicalism law.

tie-up on city-wide scale. Both
possibilities were discussed by union
officials
Meetings of the executive board
of the union, Arthur L. Harkham,
secretary Of the union told the
Daily Worker, to take place before
and after the mass meeting last
night In Star Casino, were to plan
details of the walk-out.
Numerous employees of the $50
buildings in the downtown section
of Manhattan, the owners Of which
signed closed shop agreements with
the union, v-.len the garment dis
trict strike was terminated last No
vember, are aroused over violations
on the part Of the owners. The gar
ment, textile and fur districts will
be among the first to be affected by
the contemplated spread of the
strike, according to union officials.

In a statement Thursday, Major
Curran, who was praised by Bam-
brick as a friend Of labor" char
acterized the strike Of the workers
as a menace to public health" Lit
tie is expected by the workers
from such friends"
While the workers, dissatisfied with
the dilly-dallying of the arbitration
board and the officials, were pre-
pairing to reject the award, spokes-
men of realty interests declared yes
terday that the award binds indi-
vidual owners to nothing. The
realty owners are seen to be get
ting ready 10 back out of the agree
ment should they be forced to make
concessions.
Immediately after the agreement
was signed last year, Lawrence B.
Cummings, chairman of the Realty
Board on Labor Relations, stated
in letter to owners, that the
agreement binds you to nothing"
The sentiment of the workers for
a city-wide strike, led by broad
strike committee composed OF dele
gates elected by each building, was
voiced yesterday by numerous mem
bers Of the union.
All indications point to militant
strike. Schooled by the lessons of
the last strike and their experiences
since, the workers are determined
not to permit a repetition of months
OF dragging out and then compul-
sorry arbitration.
I'm this strike" one of the work
ers said, "all final settlement will
be made only after the approval of
the men on the job"
A. F. L. Group Backs Strike
In a statement issued yesterday
the New York A. F. of l.. Trade
Union Committee for Unemploy-
ment Insurance and Relief, called
on members of the union and all
building service workers to unite in

Protesting against the lack of
democracy in the union the state
ment reads in part:
"The strike should be spread.
Full control by elected committees
OF the men should be instituted
at once. The tyrannicaI attitude
of Bambrick will only serve to
hurt the spirit and unity of the
men. Bambrick must not threaten

Secretary Roper Advocates Government Ownership
 to Meet Emergency

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Warning against a potential shortage of mer- chant ships in war emergencies, Sec retary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper tonight projected the possibility of government ownership of merchant marine.
 The Secretary of Commerce ad- vanced these arguments before the American Merchant Marine Confer ence as reasons why conflicting in terests must be willing to make con- sessions on the new subsidy legisla- tion.
 ''It is well known Secretary Roper said, "and deeply lamentable, that while we are building our navy to its treaty strength, we are doing vir- tually nothing to supply our navy with modern auxiliaries. Even as it exists today, our navy finds our merchant marine inadequate for its emergency requirement. especially in speed"
 A major campaign will require 900 merchant ships, totaling 6,000,000 gross tons, he pointed out, while at present the American ships available are hardly half that number or ton mage.
