The Daily Worker in
The Building Strike

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND copies of
" the special Building Service Employees
Edition of the Daily Worker were put into
the hands of these workers in New York
City Monday night and Tuesday morning.
The bosses press printed many columns
of strikebreaking material, attacking the
union, demanding that the workers give
up their demands and using all their ener-
gies to prevent the spread of the strike.
The strikebreaking Mayor LaGuardia was
given full support of the capitalist press.
The Daily Worker was the only news
paper in New York City which gave the
news from the viewpoint of the needs of
the building service workers. The special
edition Of the Daily Worker carried two
full pages of news and editorials on the
strike of the Building Service Workers.
The Daily Worker special edition called
on all building service workers in the city
to reject the strikebreaking arbitration
award and come out on strike at once. The
strikebreaking acts of LaGuardia and the
delaying policy of Bambrick, which weak
ened the whole fighting front of the work
ers, was fully analysed.
Every day the Daily Worker is
weapon in the hands of the building SER
vice workers in their struggle for union
wages and conditions.

Miners and Labor Party

THE full force of the government has
been brought down upon the striking
anthracite miners.
Two strikers were killed. State troopers
are raiding the mining communities. An
injunction issued by Judge Valentine or
ders that the strike should be called off.
Scabs are formed into Chain gangs" and
escorted by troopers to the mines.
Every miner can see now that the gov
eminent in that region is a club in the
hands of the Glen Alden and other coal
companies The politicians in both Demo-
cratic and Republican Parties are its strike
breaking agents.
The Communist Party of Luzerne
County has very clearly exposed Judge
Valentine who as member of the board
of directors of the Wyoming National
Bank is linked with c.. E. Ash, vice-presi-
dent and secretary, and T. H. Brooks, d.
rector Of the Glen Alden Coal Company,
who are also on the board Of directors of
that bank Judge Mclean who heads the
Regional Labor Board is a director of the
First National Bank and with him on the
board are also C. F. Huber chairman of
the Glen Alden Board and w. w, Inglis
vice-president and general manager of the
coal company.
Murder of workers and anti-labor in
functions is all that can be expected from
such public servants" Miners will there
fore not take seriously the proposals of
some officials of the United Anthracite
Miners that it is possible to beat the in
junction with counter-injunction Unity
of all miners for mass defiance, through
more intense picketing and demonstrations
will make the injunction worthless. The
miners in the U.MWA and the Anthra-
cite Union should unite in Joint commit
tees to fight in unity for their demands.
Along with that the striking miners
must once and for all break with the strike
breaking parties of the bosses. A move
ment for mass Labor Party to fight for
the miners demands should emerge out of
this struggle.

The Cotton Garment Strikes

ABOUT six months ago President Roose-
"A velt amended the Cotton Garment Code
to give the workers a 36-hour week and
10 per cent increase. So the union leaders
agreed not to call strike. The manufac-
turers, through injunction proceedings and
other tricks, delayed the increase. But
finally they were turned down and Roose-
velt's amendment is claw
But that still did not give much to the
workers. The increase was withheld. The
workers found out that they had to strike
after all. Since the court decision, thou
sands in cotton garment plants through
out the country came out on strike to get
the 10 per cent increase. Ten thousand
cotton dress workers are about to come
out in Chicago.
This is another example to show that
workers can only depend upon their own
strength and struggle to win their de-
mands.

Hearst and the Vets

HEARST is attempting to enlist the vet
n Grams in his fascist campaign against
the Communist Party and the labor move
ment. Hearst, who bitterly attacked the
demands of the veterans for bonus, now
poses as their friend, in order to use the
vets for his own reactionary purposes.
Frank n. Belgrano, national COM
mander of the American Legion, is doing
his best to line up the men in the Amer
lean Legion behind Hearst. In the name
of the Legion he has declared war in be-
half Of America" He is organizing special
posts of school teachers to fight Commu-
nism
Now, Belgrano was involved in plot
of Wall Street bankers to enlist 100000
men in the American Legion into fascist
army. This was confirmed by General
Smedey Butler in his testimony to the
Dickstein Committee It was reconfrmed
by him in radio broadcast last Sunday
Thus when Belgrano talks of war in
behalf of America" he really means war
in behalf of the profits of the Morgans and
the Hearsts, and of all those who opposed
1tlt.c demands of the veterans. The interests
of Belgrano are opposed to the interests
of the rank and file of the American
Legion.
He is a banker. He belongs to that
small clique through whom, as General
Butler admitted, the bankers control the
Legion. 1t is they who have tried to
make the Legion strikebreaking organi-
cation"
But the rank and file have indicated in
many places that they will not allow them
selves to be used as strikebreakers. More
and more of them are beginning to realize

Urges Protest Favoring
Relief Bill Amendment

New York, N. Y.
Comrade Editor:
I feel that the following material
presents an immediate issue which
should be brought to the attention
of readers of the Daily" at once
so that action may be taken in de-
tense of our living standards on an
immediate issue now before Con-
gress.
The action of the U. S. Senate on
the Prevailing Wage Amendment
to the Relief Bill now before it,
marks a grave crisis for the work
ers Of America The defeat of this
amendment will represent the open
admission of national policy to
starve the people into state of
peonage.
The defeat of this amendment
will be an approval of Roosevelt's
starvation wage policy. The pas
sage of the amendment over presi-
dental opposition will be the ad-
ministration's first taste of defeat
on a wage issue and will serve no.
tice on the administration that
workers will not submit quietly to
further attack on their present
miserable wage standards. Further
more, where the prevailing wage
rate is not the union rate, we will
fight to make it a union rate.
Mass pressure is the only way by
which the prevailing wage amend
ment can be passed. kilograms
must flood the Senate. These tele-
grams must demand of each sena-
tor that he vote in favor of the
prevailing amendment.
Every worker must assume re-
sponsibility. He must see that the
question is raised in his organiza-
ton and that every member of his
organization wires his signed de-
mand individually to his senator.
The sheer number of kilograms is
of the greatest Importance. The
time for effective protest is lin
tied. as the amendment will be
considered the early part of this
week. Bring telegraph blanks to
your organizations meeting and
collect the funds to send these
kilograms Immediately.
The cost of this demonstration of
protest is very small compared with
the loss which all of us must sus-
tain if the administrations pro-
gram is permitted to pass without
our organized protest. IL. w.

that their place is with the labor move
ment.
Veterans, rally to the support of the
Communist Party and the labor movement.
In the vets fight for the bonus it was only
the Communist Party which supported
their demands, when Hearst was yelling
that they were traitors.
Defeat the attempts of Hearst to use
you for his own reactionary purposes and
against your own best interests and the
interests of the working class. Repudiate
Belgrano and the other reactionaries, who
plan to make you the tool of the big bank
ers and the industrialists.

Proposes Chain Letter
Exposing Hearst
by Burck

1NCW 1OIh3 M
Comrade Editor:
I am one of a group of young
office workers who are acutely
class conscious. I am a daily reader
of your paper and together with my
fellow workers believe that it is the
only real, live and truthful journal
appearing before the public daily.
We were particularly enthused over
your anti-Hearst campaign, and we
feel that it is indeed a pity that
your expose of this millionaire news
distorter and war-monger cannot
be brought before the eyes of the
many millions of workers who do
not read the Daily"
One worker proposed the idea of
a concise, but effective chain letter,
denouncing and exposing Blood
Sucker Hearst" to be mailed to
workers who are not Daily Worker
readers. We all thought that this
was an excellent idea to bring
about an effective boycott of the
Hearst press, but along with this
idea 1t was suggested that such
program of action will gain more
mass support if it is also carried
out by an organization already ac-
tive in anti-Hearst work L. r.

WORKERS can easily tell what the Su-
" preme Court decision on gold means to
them by the way the stock markets are
acting.
Not for many, many months have the
Wall Street parasite gamblers reaped such
a harvest, as prices of everything leaped
wildly upward
The rise of cotton, wheat, corn, sugar,
and all other commodity prices can mean
only one thing for the vast majority of
people of the country-increased poverty,
higher cost of living, more hunger and suf-
fering.
The Supreme Court decision does more.
It upholds Roosevelt's whole New Deal
policy Of initiation, of increased dictatorial
powers centralized in ever small groups.
Roosevelt can now go ahead cheaper
ening the dollar at will He will do this
for two reasons: first, to increase Wall
Street profits by slashing the real wages
of American labor; second, to increase Wall
Streets imperialist fight for foreign mar
kets.
This can only mean increased steps
toward fascist reaction, toward imperial
list war.
The gold decision shows once again that
the Supreme Court always stands at the
service of its masters-Wall Street capital.

Comrade Editor:
The opening statement in the ar

February ID was incorrect. The
statement said, Five years ago no
one would believe that workers
would take such an interest in the
revolutionary dance"
Workers have always TANNED
theatres to see good dancing and
especially revolutionary dancing.
Before the Workers Dance League
existed, several years ago, Carnegie
Hall was sold out at benefit per-
formance for the Daily Worker by
a group Of Moscow revolutionary
dancers-I think it was a group of
