Chief in Bethlehem Bars Meeting,
Tells Delegation That Communists

Despite Ban

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jan. 3.-Chief
of police Trafford of Bethlehem re-
fused to grant permit to the Com
munist Party to hold Lenin Mem
orial meeting, when delegation
made application last Monday.
Trafford made the typically fas-
cist statement that he opposed free
speech for Communists, and that
they should all "be hung up on an
apple tree"
When the delegation retorted that
they were not surprised at his opin-
ion Of the party which leads the
fight against the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, which controls this
city, the Rev. Trafford replied that
he considered Mr.. Eugene Grace.
head of the corporation, as Amer
ica's finest citizen" and, with a
sanctimonious look in his eyes, add
ed, Il would wiring your necks if I
had a chance"
A mass protest campaign is being
started to break through this deci-
sion Oh This agent of the steel in
terestS, banning the Lenin Memorial
in this city. That this attack on
free speech and assembly, centering
against the Communist Party, is
directed against all workers organ
1zationS, is shown by the fact that
before workers can hold a meeting
they must apply for a permit to
the agents of the steel trust.
Bethlehem workers are determined
to go through with the plans for
the Lenin Memorial Meeting, which
will be held on Jan. 10. The In
ternational Labor Defense is call
ing on all organizations, professional
people and intellectuals to send
protests to Superintendent of Po-

Southern IndustriaIists
Uphold Right of Labor
ToBe Free fromUnions

CHATTANOOGA. Jan. 3.-George
L. Armistead, Nashville, Tenn, edi-
tor, addressing the Southern States
Industrial Council here on Satur-
day urged its members to pursue
fascist methods in combating
strikes. He declared further that
every governor should catch an in
spiration and suggestion from the
courage displayed by Governors Tai
madge of Georgia and Ehringhaus
of North Carolina" The two gov
errors are among the state execu-
tives who have called out troops
against recent strikes of the work.
ers.
The Industrial Council endorsed
the open shop and low wages, de-
claring with typical fascist dema-
gogy that it was necessary to keep
Southern labor free" against
manipulation and exploitation" by
ANY organized labor aristocracy."
Armistead had also called for the
protection of thugs hired by struck
plants to scab against striking work
ers and spoke about the right ito
work being as fundamental as the
right to strike" He did not attempt
to explain the denial of this right
to the Is million unemployed work
ers IN this country, for whom the
bosses have no need at present.

Congressmen interviewed

A delegation from the Cleveland
Sponsoring Committee visited Rep
resentatives Young and Bolton in
their Cleveland offices last week to
obtain their support for the Ma
tional Congress and the Workers
Bill.
When the committee asked Rep
resentative Chester Bolton, Repub-
lican, for his views on the bill, he
replied: Your bill is class legis-
lation. I believe that everybody
should pay something toward I'M
employment insurance and not only
the rich"
When questioned further as to
what sort Of unemployment insur-
ance legislation he would support,
he replied that he will back what
ever bill will be drafted by Roose-
velt's aides; but had not yet made
up his mind on any particular bill.
He promised to receive the Ohio
delegation from the National Con-
gress when 1t calls upon him in
Washington.
Representative Stephen Young.
Democrat, likewise refused to sup
port the Workers Bill, and urged
patience until Roosevelt acts.
Replying that the workers could
not live on the Roosevelt promises,
the delegation pointed out that i'm
mediate action was necessary on
genuine unemployment insurance
Such as is embodied in the Workers
Bill.

Likewise the plan to extend the
ten per cent wage reduction was
halted last spring by the action of
hundreds of lodges who sent reso-
buttons of protest against any ex-
tension of the reduction and de-
manded a wage increase in line
with the rapidly mounting cost of
living.
1t is the fear of similar rank and
file action which caused the rail-
road labor executives to shroud the
coming Chicago conference with
Eastman in utmost secrecy. Ten
days before the scheduled meeting,
not one newspaper has mentioned
the event. To this day many rail-
road lodges and lower union Off
Gals are unaware of the blow which
is being planned against their mem
bership, although the membership
will be assessed some 100000 to
finance the conference.
Hatched in Washington
The January IL meeting with East
man was Matched in Washington at
Eastman's request. 1t will be fol-
lowed on January 10 by an execu-
tive session of the General Chair
men to approve legislative pro-
gram, the same legislative program
which has been put forward each
year and which remains in the
pockets OF So-called progressive leg
islators, while laws of grave damage
to the interests of railroad labor,
such as the Railway Labor Act, the
Emergency Transportation Act, etc,
are put through.
The legislative program this year
will include Eastman's proposals for
easing his lay-off plans though
there is no assurance whatever that
even these stop gaps will receive

two weeks wages and then the

Railroad Union Executives Join Layo aeurer

The most serious attack yet made

ordinator, present his program for
guaranteeing dividends and bond
interest to the railroad owners.
Eastman's program, which is the
program of the Roosevelt admins
tration and of the railroad finan-
ciers, calls for wartime government
control and regulation of all ma
tional transport; railways, inland
waterways, pipe lines and buses and
trucks.
The 1900 General Chairmen, who
are the executive body for all
tweny-one railroad craft unions,
are expected to approve national
consolidation of railroad terminal
facilities, pooling of freight car
equipment and repairs, and count

MilitantS Win Big Gains
In Chicago Union Polls
Ii Seats Won By Rank
and File in Painters
District Council

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. SELECTIONS
have just taken place in the paint
ers' locals for delegates to the Dis
tr1ct Council, to the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, and in other
unions, which show that the mem
bership. wherever they have an op-
portunity to elect their delegates
economically, they support the
progressive program in the union
Locals 637 and 275 have overwhelm-
ingly defeated the candidates of the
reactionary machine and have
elected eleven progressive delegates
to the Painters District Council and
eleven progressive delegates to the
Chicago Federation of Labor.
In Local 637 one of the candidates
OF the machine, Harold landau
formerly a business agent, who ran
on a platform of struggle against
Communists and militants, was
badly defeated, getting only II votes
as against the progressive candi-
date, Carl Ephraimson, who re-
ceived the lowest of the progressive
votes, $50. All other progressive
candidates were elected with Elmer
johnson receiving 299 votes,
Local 275 likewise elected a com
plete progressive slate for all posi-
tions and on the official ballot
Charles Walters name appeared as
delegate to the National Congress
for Unemployment Insurance to be
held in Washington. This was the
stand taken by the membership
when given an opportunity to ex-
press their opinion as against other
locals Of the Painters District Coun-
Gil No. IA, such as Local 521 and
others, where officials did not even
bother to print ballots for fear of
having the membership express
their opinion and elect their dele
gates.
AT the same time elections have
also taken place for paid officials
for the Joint Board Of the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers
Union. The candidates for general
manager and secretary treasurer
and others nominated by the rank
and file we're ruled off the ballot,
and BialaS, general manager and
the candidate for secretary treasur-
er permitted no opponents on the
ballot. In the elections Bialas re-
ceiyed some 1,700 votes out of a to-
tai of $500 ballots cast. The pro-
gressives succeeded in electing one
of their candidates for business
agent.
Most important of the elections
in the I.L.G.W.U. is the fact that
the machine was split in these cleo
tons due to the pressure OF the
membership, which expressed their
dissatisfaction with the policies OF
the official machine. This was in
dictated by the fact that Bialas a
day or two before the election is
sued a slate urging support for only
three of the five candidates
These elections in the Painters
District Council and the Interna-
tional Ladies Carmen Workers
Union indicate the growth of the
progreSsives in the ranks Of the
American Federation Of Labor in
the city Of Chicago.

H e arst- Inspired Hall
Management Has
to Back Down

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The manage
ment of the Coliseum Hall has been
forced to retreat before the thun-
derous protest of Chicago workers
and their organizations, and the
Lenin Memorial meeting will be
held in the Coliseum as originally
arranged.
In line with the attack initiated
by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce
and the Hearst press against the
working class, directed particularly
against the revolutionary move
ment. the politicians connected with
the Coliseum Hall had tried to can
eel the contract made for the use
Of the hall for the Lenin Memorial
meeting on Jan. 20.
The hall has been in receivership
for some time past. Charles
Schweitzer, Cook County Democratic
treasurer, is one Of the receivers.
and although the hall has been
used for many years for meetings
by the Communist Party and other
working class organizations, Schwei-
tier and other elements in the re-
ownership took the cue from the
Hearst press and attempted to bar
the Lenin Memorial meeting from
the Coliseum.
The Chicago working class will
celebrate its victory in this case and
mobilize its forces for a counter
offensive against the attacks on its
organizations by giving the widest
support to the Lenin Memorial
meeting. 7:30 p. M. January 20, at
the Coliseum Hall.
