Form United Front of All Labor to Win Demands
AN EDITORIAL

The Tribune comments, 1T WILL BE FAS-
CISM," finds Green's position astonishing" and
declares that Green SIS risking fascism on the
gamble that in a disciplined industrial order the
A. F. of L. will do the disciplining"
In his announcement of intention to launch an
organizational drive in steel and COAL Green made
it apparent that the locals in both these A. F. of L.
unions will be given little say regarding the CAM
paign, which will be entirely in the hands OF the
Executive Council.
The members of the A. F. Of L., in the face Of
these dangers of fascisn, in the face of the wage
cutting, open shop drive Of Roosevelt, should at
organize the united front of all labor to win
their demands. This means that over the head of
any surrender of any or all the leaders of the A. r.
Of l., the locals and the unorgsnized workers must
build the A. T. of L. unions into mass unions must
prepare immediate strikes to defeat the anti union
attacks.
The open letter of the Communist Party to
Green pointed the only road whereby the open shop
drive can be defeated-the united front of all the
workers on fighting, class struggle program and
the reputation of the nostrike policy Of coopera-
ton with the NRA, with Roosevelt and with the
employers, whereby Green has been preparing thu
ground for these intensified attacks,

day shows that the employers recognize that Roose
welt has not relaxed his antlabor drive The Times
states: Such cooperation as the leaders of the
A F. of L. effect with him Roosevelt is plainly
to be on his terms, not on theirs"
Green testifying before the Senate Appropra-
tons Committee, while critcizing the provision of
Roosevelt for the average maximum wage Of $50
month, asked only for the prevailing wage in the
community. Green made it clear he did not mean
the prevailing UNION wage scale, and stated he
did not care how many hours each individual
worked on the project as long as the HOURLY rate
was the prevailing" wage. Thus Green, while
eEiticizing Roosevelts program, gave up the posi-
TN of labor for prevailing UNION wages, and for
MINIMUM WEEKLY pay on all work relief. This
weak stand of Green weakens the whole stand of
labor against Roosevelts wage cut drive.
The New York Herald Tribune, in an editorial
yesterday, admitted the retreat of Green and his
virtual surrender on concrete issues before the pro-
fascist measures of Roosevelt The Tribune quotes
Green's statement to Roosevelt: I'VE believe that
if sef-government is not developed in industry, it
will be necessary to extend political control into this
sphere and that such political control will inevitably
be Of an arbitrary nature"

the proceedings at the special meet
ing of the local held last Wednes-
day they also revealed that the de-
termination of the longshoremen to
stick with the teamsters and come
out with them in case they strike, is
creating serious differences among
the bureaucrats to the point Of
clashes among themselves.
Longshoremen were surprised

that he was informed by Jean
Sampson, business agent Of Local
791, that the workers want to go
out on strike, in support of the
teamsters. He advised the workers
not to be fooled" by anyone until
vote is taken"
Rank and File Act
The Rank and File Committee of
the I. L. A. Immediately took up
the challenge and in a leaflet de-
manded that a local meeting be
called to take up the question. The
next day workers received notices
over Ryan's signature calling for a
meeting of Local 791 for Wednesday
evening. The obviously deliberate
calling of the meeting on such short
notice, and as many of the men
were working resulted in an atten-
dance of only IS, Of the $500 mem
bers of the local. The workers were
again surprised by Ryan's presence.
At the outset someone wanted to
know why the meeting was called.
To this. Sampson answered, That's
what I'd like to know"
That's where the fun started"
one of the workers said, reporting
the event. Ryan took the floor and

Of the members, Sampson, who was
always his right-hand man, was
continually interrupting him de-

Workers Demand Strike
This went on so long that one of
the members suggested that if Ryan
and Sampson have personal argu-

somewhere else. 1t was then that
Ryan gave the reason for calling

were coming to him from all sides
to tell him that they will come
out on strike to support the team

it, charging that Ryan was working

Pickets Protest
Africa Attack

Two successive refusals by italian
consulate officials to meet dele
cation protesting against interven-
ton in Abyssinia failed to dampen
the militant spiTit of 1870 pickets be-
fore the consulate building at 1874
East SEVENTEEN Street yesterday.
For more than hour, the pickets,
mostly Italian and Negro, paraded
their protests against the italian
fascist invasion of Abyssinian terri
tory. They bore placards demand
ing Hands off Abyssinia" and

Other shouted and placarded slogans

the interest and the solidarity of

Lenin, Liebknecht
HOnOred in Berlin
At Cemetary Rally

BERLIN CBy MaiD.-On the
anniversary of Lenin's death
thousands of class-conscious
workers made their way quietly
to the Friedrichsfelde Cemetery,
where the graves Of Karl Lieb-
mecht, Rosa Luxembourg, Sylt
and others are situated, to hold
memorial meeting. Lookouts
were posted along the road.
Many women insisted on accom-
panying the men.
Red blossoms were strewn
upon the graves. A worker spoke
briefly on the significance of the
memorial and it's meaning in the
light OF the approaching final
struggle with Hitler fascism.
BY the time Gestapo agents
arrived the meeting had long
dissolved, but many individuals
altogether unconnected with the
demonstration were nevertheless
arrested.

him of advocating a strike behind
his back"
The workers report part of the
conversation as follows:

sonally, But don't like your pro-
gram" Sampson shouted.
Il have been on the same corner
with you, now you turn against
me-" Ryan stated patheticalIy,
II take criticism. was bomb
shelled by the Communists in San
Francisco and I took it on the chin.
But I was trying my best. Samp-
son called me up while was there
to get instructions. 1 told him
under all circumstances to keep
the men on the docks. That's the
reason the East coast men got a
ten cent increase"
Imagine" one of the longShore-
man told your correspondent, che
said we got the ten cents on &C
count of staying on the job, when
everyone on the docks knows we
got it because the bosses feared a
strike, and we could have gotten a
hiring hall, and a thirty hour week
if we went out"
Vote Taken
After more arguments between
the two officials, motion was
passed that the '1ongshoremen will
not violate the agreement"
mo man would vote against the
motion" the longshoreman told the
Daily Worker. There were so few
around and the official machine
watches the votes carefully, you
know. It's hard enough as it is to
get days work on the docks. But
don't worry the men will come out
when the time comes"
Before the meeting opened, after
accepting Tony Charelli's dues. the
officials barred him from the meet
ing because they said he is a Com
muniSt.
The following day leaflet signed
by Ryan, distributed on the docks
declared, that "a motion was carried
unanimously to the effect that the
membership carry out the existing
agreement in its entirety. This
means no stoppage of work for any
reason" Then in an effort to pacify
the men on the Humphrey iniunc-
ton Ryan stated:
"The New York District Coun-
Gil has worked out a method by
which we can continue to work
with our sister organization, the
international Brotherhood of
Transfers. by appointing a com
mittee consisting of checker, a
longShoreman and a teamster to
visit the trucking company when
trouble exists and endeavor to
settle the matter in their Office
instead of adjusting 1t at the
piers"
"All the men on the docks are
about the meeting. and
know that it was not the express
sion Of the thousands of longshore-
men," the longshoremen stated.
"Ryan's leaf1et is taken as a scab
leaflet. He'll find out different if a
teamsters strike breaks out. Every
longshoreman and teamster knows
that committee going to a truck
ing company's Office won't mean a

need for unifcation more urgent
than ever.
Our convention must discuss
what steps We can and should
take to unite all the forces of
the working class against these
latest attacks, and for the de-
velopment of the struggles of the
workers against these attacks.
One of the important questions
that will be placed before the
convention by the National Ex-
ecutive Board will be the future
of the T.U. U. L. which clearly,
on the basis of the developments
of the last period and the further
steps towards unif1cation of the
trade union movement, will have
to undergo a radical reorganiza-
ton. The unions that remain for
the present outside of the ALL.
will have to consider how they
can best unite their efforts in the
direction of the fight for trade
union unity. Clearly whatever
organizational forms the remain
ing unions will adopt cannot be
the same as the present T. u. U.
L. which functioned as a CEN
tralzed organization of all the
affiliated unions. Now the main
emphasis has to be placed on the
creation of an organ for the
agitation and work for trade
union unity. However, the con-
vention will finally decide on this
as well as on all other questions.
Not later than the third week
in February the N. E. B. will
submit to all the affiliated or
CARNATIONS the draft resolution
for the Convention. This resolu-
ton shall be thoroughly discussed
in all the divisions of the or
ganization and on the basis of
this discussion delegates shall be
elected. The N. E. B. has de-
cided upon the following basis of
representation to the Conven-
ton:
l. All national unions are to
have one delegate for every thou
sand members or major fraction.
2. All local unions that are not
part of a national organization
shall have one delegate, no
matter what the membership. If
the local union has more than a
thousand members, it shall re-
ceive one delegate for every
thousand members or major frac-
ton.
3. All District or State organiza-
tons Of the t. U. U. L. are to
have one delegate.
4. All District and State Or
carnations of the national affi-
Hated unions shall be entitled to
one delegate.
National unions can them
selves decide upon the form of
organization of the delegates
they are entitled to. But it Is
recommended that they elect
their delegates from all the i'm
portant centers of their orgari-
cations, as well as the various
departments of their industry.
All delegates must be fully
financed by the organizations
which they represent, since there
will be no assessment for the
Convention. Each delegate must,
however, be provided with a fee
of 50 to be submitted together
with the credential, for the pur-
pose of defraying the cost of the
Convention organization.
