these strikebreakers. On Tuesday,
Jan. 29, reporting the Mayors at

Later the Daily Worker story sets
forth the position Of many workers.
We quote:

gan, it is recalled, that the employ

against the waterfront and general
strikes in San Francisco last sum-
mer.
Under the argument Of the pub

the institution being set UP will be
permanent in character. The ques-
tion of jurisdiction has been finally
settled by representatives of all in
ternationals in regular conventions.
Now is the time for the officers
and members of the three above
mentioned unions to give serious
consideration to the advantages to
be gained by them by associating
themselves with the United Auto
mobile Workers Union of the Amer
lear. Federation of Labor. There is
iced in this movement for every
constructive effort along organiza-
ton lines"
Mass Meeting Called
The editorial concludes by calling
on the members of the three unions
to attend the meeting in the Light
Guard Armory, Saturday, Feb. %, at
which President William Green will
speak.
The A. F. of L. appeal expresses
the strong sentiment for unity
among the rank and file of the Fed
eral auto locals. 1t was the growth
of the rank and file movement that
compelled the A. F. of L. top leader
ship at the national convention of
the A. F. of L. in San Francisco to
announce that an international in
dustrisl union would be organized.

C.P. Urges Fight for One
Democratically Run
Organization

The editorial, however, fails to say
when this is to be done and whether
such a union is to continue to be
controlled by the national appara-
tus Of the A. F. of L. in Washington
as heretofore. To be an effective
weapon in the hands Of the automo-
bile workers 1t must be democratic
cally controlled by the rank and file
and carry out militant policies.
G.. P. Calls on Members
The editorial also fails to invite
the three independent unions to
send speakers to the Light Guard
Armory meeting.
The Communist Party urges its
members in both the "A. F. of L. and
the three independent unions to
press forward the necessity of TAX
ing immediate steps to unite all
unions in one powerful front, demo-
cratically controlled and with pro-
visional autonomy for the craft
unions such as is represented by the
M. E. S. A. Immediate steps must
also be taken to organize strike &C
ton in order to defeat the wage

Gets ovation
A great ovation greeted this de-
claration, as social workers, Social
list Party members and others
shouted their support of the Work
ers' Bill.
Mayor McLevy, who had brought
along an audience of six busloads
of people, spoke unqualifiedly fol-
the fraudulent old-age measure.
Charles w. Campbell of Water
bury took the floor and denounced
the old age provisions, and de-
manded enactment of the Workers

organizer of the Communist Party,
exposed the united front" for the
old age measure as an economy for
the State, since the benefits under
the act would be less than present

Merger Proposals Cited

DETROIT. Mich, Feb. THE
American Federation of Labor has
appealed to three independent
unions in the auto industry, the Me-

The appeal appears in the form
of a front-page editorial in Labor

The editorial speaks Of the sin

Mass Resentment Grows
AS Governor Pushes
Sales Tax Schemes

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IT,
Sweeping mass resentment has
greeted the announcement of State
Relief Administrator johnson that
all work relief and possibly direct re-
lief would end on March /. John
son, 1t is readily seen, is attempting
to lay down barrage in the news
papers in order to smooth out the
path for sweeping tax program
on the masses.
Organizations of the unemployed
and the relief workers have started
a counter-offensive to defeat the tax
proposals of Governor Earle. Mass
meetings are being arranged in all
parts of the State to protest the
hunger plans and to organize the
workers to fight against these plans.
simultaneously, a petition campaign
is being launched among all work.
erS and small business men to de-
mand that no further taxes be i'm
posed on the working population.
The campaign will eliminate in
a mass delegation to the State Cap
itol at Harrisburg to demand the
enactment of the Workers Unem-
ployment, Old Age and Social Insur-
ance Bill.
The program put forward by the
Unemployment Councils, which has
already been given mass support. is
for increased taxation upno the
wealthy upon all interitances and
incomes above $1,000 a year, and
upon the super profits of the large
corporations and utilities.
AS the campaign widened and be-
gan to take on mass scope, four
organizations of the white collar
and professional workers met at
1905 Walnut Street last Thursday
night to plan action.
The four organizations, the Fed
Grafton Of Architects. Engineers.

funds be made available for the con-
tinuance and enlargement of the
works program and all relief neces-
sary for a decent standard for the
unemployed.
The four groups likewise opposed
the entire social security" program
of the Roosevelt Administration and
went on record demanding the i'm
mediate enactment of the Workers
Bill, H R. 1927. Copies of the tele-
gram were sent to Governor Earle.

fifteen Unemployment Council

emergency cases. The deal was so
raw that even the police refused to

the question by pointing once more
to the evidence.
Jury Venire President
The bench was agitated from
Justice Owen j. Roberts on the ex-
IRENE right to Justice Benjamin N.
Cardozo on the extreme left when
the jackson County jury roll, with
the names of six Negroes crudely
forged on its pages, was introduced
in evidence. Physical evience is al
most unheard-of in this court,
which concerns itself almost exclu-
sively with lawyers briefs and court
records. The stern eyes of millions
turned upon them forced the JUS
tices to accept this evidence of the
brazen lynch determination of the
white ruling class that set them up
on this bench, for examination.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes white two-pointed beard
and mustachios waggled feverishly,
and he hitched himself back and
forth in his big leather chair, as he
ordered the big red tome brought up
on the bench. The justices leaned
over, peering as, growing more agi-
tated every moment, the Chief JUS
tice examined the forgery with a
magnifying glass, firing question
after question in regard to what
names, what pages, what red lines,
made with ink or pencil, at what
approximate date, etc.
The courtroom was tense as the
big book passed from justice to JUS
tice, to be examined and re-
examined. Knight twitched his
hands and bit his finger-nails and
smirAed more nervously.
Perhaps the court, which goes to
a great deal of trouble to maintain
Its attitude of impartial dignity"
to the point of filing in not on the
minute of the scheduled opening,
but on the second, while the mar
shall intones, "Oyez! Oyer" and all
those in the courtroom stand up,
was glad that the hearing could not
be finished before the stroke of 4:3o
when it rose in the middle of q sem
tence of Mr.. Pollak's argument. It
would need couple of days to re-
gain that dignity and go on with
the hearing. 1t had shown plainly
that it was alreay disturbed by the
mass movement, the growing unity
of black and white toilers, behind
this appeal.
Protests Must Mount
1t had shown plainly, too, in spite
OF itself, what must be done to force
favorable decision in this case. Be.
tween now and the time when IL
makes its decision-anytime after
March 3-the protest must be re-
doubled. The masses must be
brought into the streets to shout
their demand for the freedom of the
Scottsboro boys so loudly that it will
penetrate the tiny, ugly. semi-circu-
lar room where the court sits, and
force decision reversing the lynch
verdicts against Haywood Patterson
and Clarence Norris, affirming the
right of Negroes to sit on juries.
Thousands of resolutions, tele-
grams, and postcards must flood
that court, expressing this burning
demand of the masses of people,
white and Negro.

MOSCOW, Feb. II (By Cable -
THE German reply to the Anglo

vocation Of such magnitude that it
might well set all the peoples of
Europe in alarm.

clared, has no small interest. not
only for the political world, but for
that branch of psychiatry which
deals with various manias. primarily
megalomar1ia. Undoubtedly the Lon
don compromise" and the subse-
quent commentaries of the British
bourgeois press, as well as the posi-
ton Of official persons occupying a
prominent place in guiding the di-
rection Of British foreign policy,
primarily Macdonald, were esti-
mated in Berlin as a mark of en-
enlargement.

Here is the result" Pravda de-
clsres. The ruling circles Of Ger
many want to legali5e their arma-
ments without waiting for author
ization, are preparing for a new
war and are not binding themselves
by any obligations towards their
reighbors." Analysing the separate
points Of the London agreement and
the German reply, Pravda CONT
nues: There Is not one word in
the German reply about the East
ern Pact about the Central Eu-
ropean Pact, about returning into
the League Of Nations. about the
impermissability of one of the allies
changing the military paragraph of
the peace treaties.
The German reply is absolutely
clear and unambiguous and defines
the political aims and tactics Of
the foreign policy of the fascist die
tatorship no guarantee Of safety
for neighbors in the West, East and
Southeast; an agreement with Eng
land; the isolation of France and
other countries which are interested
in the preservation of peace.
To the most active reactionaries
Of British imperialism, German
diplomacy openly proposes a Joint
struggle against the idea of pacts
guaranteeing the peace of Central
and Eastern Europe. and tries to
strengthen those government circles
Of British imperialism which insist
that England must not link itself
with the fate of Eastern and Cen
trail Europe. The compilers of the
German reply are obviously seeking
an agreement with those circles
which deceive themselves with the
hope that the safety Of England can
be bought by giving German fas-
cisrn freedom of action in the East
and Southeast.
British Seek Nazi Support
With the help Of Germany. Brit
ish IMPERIALISM hopes to bury for
