de "Monina Lamar" ideado
por ell desaparecido Alfonso

sotros nos parece que es una
de las actrices mas completes

que ha sucedido es que no STEM

Ighe, On Last Legs, Sees No Future for Steel Workers

PRODUCTION of modern machinery
seems to impress him very little.
The Union
We pass now to the question of
the union. Here he has a long story
to tell The organization is SO years
old. He has been a member of this
organization for So years. The union
got along we'll until the introduc-
ton of the modern method of steel
production in the COS; the union be-
gan to lose its foothold. THE steel
plants did not want our organiza-
ton. Since the Homestead strike of
1892 the organization has been de-
clining. When the United States
Steel Trust was organized the union
demanded standards of wages equal
to those received by union members
in other plants. The strike of 1901
was called. 1t was lost. Ever since
then we had to struggle to keep
our people within the organization"
said Tighe Since 1909 the steel
trust entirely refused to deal with
the union. The steel strike of 1919
was unsuccessful and I'VE had u
call it off,"
Mike Tighe heaves a sigh. His
refund body slumps in the chair.
He folds his fleshy hands on his
protuberant stomach.
You cannot fight two billion
dollar diversified corporation" he
declares.
And Tighe launches into a de-
scription of how the strike of 1919
had to be declared off. What can
you do he says, men have to
live" He seems to apologize for the
collapse of the great still strike. But
then, only those directly connected
with the movement can readily I'M
derstand the problems that a man
holding a position must face"
His voice become benign, his tone
that of preacher. The clear sense
OF his oily phrases is that, after all,
the workers themselves are to blame
for their present plight. If the work
ers were thoroughly organized they
would be in a position to defend
themselves. AS it is, industry is or
ganized while the workers are not.
Industry has one god-the dollar.
The poor worker does not have
broad vision. He can see only one
space ahead of him. Gompers, my

And here we have it. Mike Tighe
lays the responsibility at the door
of the workers. They are not in

Plans to Be NJ a d e
to Spur Campaign
for Workers Bill

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. 22.-
The State unemployment confer
ence which will be held here on
March 10 will lay plans for further
ing the campaign for the enact
ment of the State Workers Unem-
ployment, Old Age and Social In
surance Bill, No. 79l, which was in
troduced into the State Legislature
on Jan. "A by Assemblyman j. B.
Pelletier.
Except for the inclusion of a
clause which provides that the State
bill shall be effective until such a
time as the Workers Bill is enacted
on a Federal scale, the State bill is
in all respects similar in content to
the National Workers Bill, H. r.
1927.
In addition to the drive for the
enactment Of the Workers Bill, the
State unemployment conference will
lay plans in the fight for the i'm
mediate relief needs
To spur the campaign for the en-
actment of the State Workers Bill
the Unemployment Councils and
their affiliated organizations have
initiated campaign for 100000 sig
natures to petitions demanding its
passage, and to bring the measure
upon the floor for vote. All groups
and individuals have been called
upon to food the State Capitol and
the State Committee on Labor with
postcards and resolutions demand

admit that the Roosevelt policy has
not materially increased our foreign
markets"
From the foregoing it is obvious
to us what Mike Tighes stand would
be in relation to a fight against the
steel trust. Still we put the ques-
ton squarely. What does he think
about strike of the steel workers
to improve their conditions now?
Opposes Strikes
Tighe becomes very serious, al
most grave. His heavy body seems.
to grow still heavier. His speech is
deliberate, with something like a
prophetic ring in his voice. He
thinks we must make our own con-
illusions from history. He thinks
that mere recital of the events of
the past 40 years would suffice.
And he goes up to his room on
the second floor and brings us an
excerpt from the report he is pre-
pairing for the convention of the
Amalgamated Association that is
scheduled for April. These excerpts,
several closely typewriter pages,
represent a survey of the strike
movements in the steel industry
from the point of view of defeatism.
Tighe reads them for about IS min
utes. And all he has to say is:
Defeat, defeat, defeat.
you have now an idea of whether
strike is possible he says to us.
We make one step further. Sup
pose there we're a number of stimuli
taneous strikes, like that of steel,
coal and aluminium? Wouldn't that
have greater chances of success?
No, Tighe does not think so. He
is generally against sympathy
strikes. This is an impossibility.
The workers cannot help themselves
during q strike, how can they come
to the rescue of others? And be-
sides, the country is too large. The
efforts would be too great, No, this
cannot be done.
II do not care to fly says Mike
Tighe solemnly. Il want to keep
my feet on the ground"
We proceed to another question:
What does he think about the in
surgeEt movement in the Amalga-
mated Association?
Tighe's face undergoes remark
able change. 1t becomes shrewd,
almost sly A furtiye smile is twist
ing his mouth as he weighs his
words before answering.
Fears Insurgents
The insurgents he says, ARE a
lot Of deluded fools. These men who
have never been in the organization
want to upset the business methods
of the organization with its great
investments both in money and in

Party Expels
McCuistiOn

BY action of the Central Control
Commission, w. c. McCuistion, I'M
til recently a member of the Ma
tional Bureau of the Marine Work
ers' Industrial Union, has been ex-
PEELED from the Communist Party
for slsndering it and for bringing
disoredit upon it while drunk, as
also for unprincipled, subjective OPP
position to Party leadership and de-
cisions The decision also provides
that McCuistion may apply for re-
admission after one year, if in the
meantime he corrects himself and
proves in deeds that he has cor
rected himself and has overcome his
weakness for alcoholic drinks.
Once before McCuistion was ex-
PEELED from the Party, at the end
of 1880, for drunken responsibility
in Houston, Texas. He was read
mitted in New York, around August
1882, upon recognition of his errors
and a promise to correct his weak
nesses. Yet, after several other
instances Of giving in to his weak
ness for drinking, he went so fan
as to become completely drunk al
an open affair, arranged by sympa.
thizers for the benefit Of the Union
and to create public disturbance
resisting all efforts to quiet him
and passing loud, derogatory re.
marks against the Party.
In explanation Of these remarks
he admitted being dissatisfied with
various minor, local and personal
matters in the Party, thereby show
ing an unprincipled and subjective
opposition to Party leadership and
decisions.
Toward such irresponsible and
subjective actions and views the
Communist Party cannot be lenient
especially when they involve a
member engaged in leading work
among the masses of the workers.

All organizations participating in
the united front will be represented

6. Herbert Benjamin, executive
secretary Of the National Joint Ac-
ton Committee for genuine IN

Floyd Olson, Representative Bennett
and Alfred Tisla, district organizer

Relief Increase Won
In addition to announcing that
all FERA. projects will be closed
on March II, the day of the march
to the State capitol, W. J, Nc
Gaughren, chairman Of the Welfare
Board, announced at the last meet
ing of the local united front COM
mittee that relief increases will be
made effective on March first.
The relief increase and the
F.E.R.A. holiday are the direct re-
suit of the splendid solidarity be-
tween the employed and unem-
ployed. At previous meetings of the
committee, the representatives of
the A. F. of L. voted complete sup
port to the Unemployment Council
demand for a general IS per cent
increase in relief rates. So enthu-
sisstic are the various organiza-
tons for the united front, that
hardly a representative is ever
missing from the regular meetings
Of the full committee.

Richberg Says
n. r. A. Aims
To Save Trusts
B la m es Class Struggle
for Causing Crisis
in America

MIAMI, Fla. Feb. 22-In an sd-
dress to a business group here to-
night Donald R. Richberg, executive
director of the National Emergency
Council, declared that the New Deal
had undertaken to save the capis
talistic economy by immediate re-
forms"
Richberg blamed the crisis upon
the class struggle. It was not the
gap between production and cons
sumption that brought on the crisis,
but the crisis came because "ws
waste so much Of our energies and
our wealth in senseless, ruthless
fighting, 10 take things away from
each other"
The bulk Of his speech was de-
voted to stressing the point that tbs
N. r. A. had done away with those
obstacles in the antitrust laws that
had hindered the growth Of mo@
nopolies.
The object Of the New Deal. ace
cording to Richberg, was the builds
ing Of "a new competitive system.
The framework Of this system is all
ready familiar to the working people
Of the country. This includes help
for the monopolies and suppression
of labor, huge profits for the capi-
talists and lower living standards
for the workers.
Richberg did not touch on any Of
these points. He spent his time re-
assuring the business men that tbs
New Deal had always been meant
for their interests.
