For Unity in the Anthracite

EVENTS around the fve-day Glen Alden
Coal Company strike have again brought
to the surface the deplorable situation in
the anthracite region, which now threat
ems to undermine still further the already
low standards of the miners.
AS soon as the United Anthracite Miners
of Pennsylvania independently called the strike at
the coler1es Of this largest coal producer in the
world the district officials of the United Mine Work
ers "a. F. OF L. sought for chance to break t.
NOW that the strike is called off and because the
company dealt with the independent union the
u M w of A, district officials are openly speaking
OF calling distrctwide strike not to win the de-
mands Of the workers, which are in the hands of
an arbitration board but to establish their ursdc-
tlon-to smash the independent union.
If the leaders of the two unions succeed in
throwing their memberships against each other only
the coal operators will gain The miners have been
split only because reactionary sets of officials at the
head OF both are in a fight for control The grew
anceS causing the Glen Alden strike are common 10
all miners in the anthracite region
The growing rank and file movement in both
unions is the only real factor making for unity
on the basis of a struggle against the coal oper-
ators Only strong rank and file mass move
ment for a united strike developed over the heads
OF the officials of both unions will forestall a Sc

Greetings to Insurance
Congress Delegates

THE Daily Worker extends its heartiest
L greetings to the delegates who today
open the historic National Congress for
Social and Unemployment Insurance in
the nations capital
Speaking in the name of the Central
Committee OF the Communist Party, the Daily
Worker halls this great united action Of delegates
representing hundreds upon hundreds of thousands
OF American workers ready to fight for one Of the
greatest needs Of the toling masses at the moment
Federal cash relief and Federal unemployment
and social insurance to be paid for by the gov
eminent and the capitalist employers.
The National Congress is the voice Of the Amer
lean working class. It is the voice that challenges
the other Congress now in session the Congress of
Wall Street and the employers.
The working class Congress for Social and IN
employment Insurance must be supported by mass
actions all over the country Meetings and relief
demonstrations must give the assembled delegates
the feeling Of the mass power which the Congress
represents and for which it is fighting.
Right now another task faces us The fight
which the National Congress is waging must be
carried to every corner Of the land when the Con-
gress adjourns. Preparations to receive the dele
gates at meetings and demonstrations where the
results and lessons of the Congress can be given the
widest publicity should now be made.
In the shops, trade union locals Socialist Party
locals, in every neighborhood and group where
workers gather the issues facing the Congress and
the actions Of the Congress should be the most
burning subject Of discussion
For the issue Of immediate relief to the 100000
jooess, the issue of forcing the rich and the gov
eminent to guarantee every worker both unem-
poynent and social insurance against all the hor-
rors Of capitalist crisis with its major horror of
unemployment-this Is the most vital issue con-
fronting every working class family.
Hail the fight for Federal Unemployment and
Social Insurance! Make the wealthy the employers
bankers and landlords and their government paw
for the crisis!

Smash the Waterfront
Injunction!

THE injunction granted shippers and the
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce by
Justice Burt Humphrey. declares that
united action between longshoremen and
teamsters is illegal and that longshore-
men cannot refuse to load goods trucked by non
union men.
The decision has far reaching effect not only
because 1t concerns 10000 workers on the New York
waterfront, but especially because it deals blow
at the very foundation of the trade union move
ment-at united action between unions The en-
poyers are alarmed at the splendid example of soil
darity between all crafts in the marine industry
as demonstrated in the West Coast strike Il is
move against the basic principle of industrial
unonism, which even the recent A. F. of I, con-
Vention was forced to adopt to a partial degree
If this injunction is permitted to remain in eff
feet It means that similar measures will be taken
in other unions. brickaver will be forced to work
alongside Of scab plasterer; dress operator will
be forced to work in the same shop with scab
presser; or it will be illegal for waiter to refuse
to serve food prepared by scab cook Unions will
rot be able to unite in an organization campaign
One of the chief reasons that boss controlled
judge had the audacity to hand down such an in
junction was because Joseph Ryan, president of
Cne INTERNATIONAL LongsnoremenS Association and
other officials who follow his line tried to beat
the posses at their own game They depended upon
the capitalist laws, and upon the capitalist politi-
clan, Senator Burton K. Wheeler They did not
arouse the membership in their own unions and
IN the entire labor movement to the danger of this
writ They fought the only ones who really did
seek to arouse the workers for fght-the Com
munlsts and the rank and file movement in the
unions.
Now they still persist in pnning hopes upon
appeals to higher courts, while restraining the
workers from action. Longshoremen, teamsters and
seamen now see the futility of Ryans policy They
should not give in an inch nor depend lIpon the
Ryans for leadership. There should be comnlete
unity on every dock not to permit an ounce of scab
goods to come through. Only this will make the
injunction meaningless and defeat it. Members of
all organizations will join them and protest this
outrageous decision

Lehman Offers a Tax on
Pay Envelopes

GOVERNOR LEHMAN of New York en-
" barks upon his second term with his
technique of making nice sounding phrases
brighter than ever
A close follower of his political boss.
Roosevelt, Governor Lehman in his inaugural adj
dress and in his message to the New York State
Legislature Wednesday cloaked himself once again
IN the garments Of great liberal"
1t is the real interest of the people" which is
closest to his heart declared this millionaire in
Vestment banker of Wall Street.
Lehman has full control of the State Legislature.
He could have passed any law he wished Yet it
is very strange that this real interest in the people"
seems to work somehow in the real interests of the
Wall Street banks and monopolies
Under the guise of liberal program in the
utilities, he blocked all attempts to levy heavy taxes
on such utility monopoies as Consolidated Gas OF
New York and Associated Gas upstate
The reason for this Jealous protection of the huge
profits Of the utilities is that Lehman and Tammany
Hall have the closest ties with these utility c1ioues
In his inaugural address, Lehman boosted of the
funds paid out by the state for relief Aside from
the fact that these funds are miserablv Inadequate
and are only fraction of what the state hands out
to the bankers it is needless to state that whatever
relief has been handed down by Lehman has been
led by the Unemployed Councils and the Communist
Party.
What Lehman thinks of the jobless can be seen
from the Sadstic brutality of the police attack which
was organized under his direction against the Job
less march to Albany.
Following the lead of Roosevelt, Lehman bangles
before the workers fake kind of unemployment in
surance, which in practice turns out to be no I'M
employment insurance at ALL but a tax on the nav
envelopes of the workers themselves He referred
approvingly to Roosevelt's plan to provide "unen-
ployment insurance reserves-at the expense of the
workers. Arguing against any real unemployment
insurance that will come out of the profits of the
employers and the funds of the government Leh-
man warned that I'VE must coordinate our plans
with the Federal plans"
Lehman's social phrases continue His capital
list policies also continue He uses the one to cloak
the other
Already he is getting ready for state sales tax
No doubt, he will justify this robbery of the masses
with new social demagogy. But in every one of mis-
actions behind his talk of the real interests of the
people" Lehman is acting in the interests of his
ol9T5, the Wall Street monopolies and the employ
ers

Strengthen the Struggle
Against DebortdtiOnS

CUPPLEMENTING the ferocious drive
against the foreign-born workers, as
part of the whole New Deal attacks on
the rights and living standards of the toll
ing masses of this country, immigration
authorities have singled out six militant working
class fighters held for deportation on Ellis Island
for special abuse and persecution.
These workers, whose only crime is their par
tcipaton in the struggles Of the American workers
to better their conditions, have been thrown into
solitary confinement for protesting against the dep
rvation Of their rights, against discrimination in
the dining room and fascist threats Of the guards
to shoot them down. The persecution Of these six
militant workers carried even to the extent of
preventing their attendance at concerts and other
entertainments given for the prisoners and to the
turning OF Of the lights in their cell to prevent
them reading books and other literature sent them
by workers.
One of the six, John Ujich, has been refused bail,
although the Committee for the Protection of For
e.gn Born is appealing against the order for his
deportation, while the exoroitant bond of $4,000 is
demanded in the case Of Ray Carlson
The use of the deportation weapon against mil
liant foreign born workers is inerreated to the in
creasing fascist-like attacks on the working class
Negro and white, and on the Negro people The
shooting down Of strikers the growing lynch ter
ror against the Negro people, the attacks on the
foreign born all part of the fascist pattern Of
the New Deal program.
Every workers organization every sincere fighter
against hunger, and fascism, should rally to
the defense Of the foreign born workers Protests
should be sent to Frances Perkins Secretary Of
Labor, and to the Ellis Island authorities, demand
ing halt to the persecution Of the six militant
workers and to the attempt to deport them The
widest support should be given to the Conference
called by the Committee for the Protection of For
eign Born for Jan. 10 at the Irving Plaza New York
City to strengthen the struggle against deporta-
tons and for the right of political asylum,

Material Questions Sidetracked
BY Nazis, Says Saar United Front

SAARBRUECKEN, Saar Terri
tory-An appeal issued by the
Saar united front emphasizes the
approach of the decisive day, and
points out the insistence with which
Hitler's agents evade any plain
statements on vital questions con-
corning the material welfare of the
people of the Saar. Their policy
does not bear the light of day. The
questions of the populace are set
aside by such agents of big capital
ism as the great factory owner
Karchner, who, Haunting his swas-
tlka, announces: 'Endeavours are
being made to divert the debate on
the coming Saar plebiscite into
channels which do not please US
the channel of material questions. I"
Why do they not like it that the
people ask them to emerge from
the fog of deception, of chauvinist
phrases, and race embodiment, and
to step onto the firm ground of the
vital theological and material uues-
tons concerning the people of the
Saar?
Because under Hitler the Saar.
no less than Germany today, would
be plunged into inevitable catas-
trophe Because the Third Realm
can offer the working German in
the Saar no other future than the
robbery of his last penny, imitation,
the laying idle of mines and the
unrestricted despotism of the en-
ployers, the destruction of trade,
the ruin of the peasantry, the
enslavement of youth, the persecu-
ton of belief, the concentration
camp and the scaffold.
-. The victory of the status quo
will give the people of the Saar the
right to second plebiscite on the
afnliation with Germany after the
overthrow of the Brown regime.
The Saar population is given the
possibility of deciding on its own
fate on the basis of the right of
self determination granted it.,
Therefore it is striving for
representation of the people based
on a general, free, equal, and secret
vote.
United Front Resists Fraud
The mighty front of the people,
which is capable of gaining the
victory of the status quo in face
OF the mighty apparatus of fraud
and violence possessed by an I'M
scrupulous dictatorship, offers the
best security that the inherent
strength of the people itself will
enable all other vital demands of
the workers of the Saar to be sue
cessfully faced and met. Not only

Rochling, Pirro, and Burckel are
endeavouring to blindfold the eyes
of the people of the Saar. The
United Front is striving to show
the people of the Saar what the
victory Of the status quo means for
its future, till the day comes when
we unite with free Germany.
