Court Assails Relief Agency,
But Veteran Fails to Get Coal

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 23.-"The
case is no exception. My office will
still have to investigate before TAX
ing any action" was the answer
given by William s. Reynolds, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Emergency
Relief Administrator, when he was
called into court here last week to
show why he was not supplying
coal to the destitute family of
William Doolan.
Doolan, an unemployed veteran
had been sent from office to office
of the Home Relief Bureau trying
to get a little coal to keep his family
from freezing. After being turned
down a number Of times he finally
arrived at the relief station at so
East 109th Street. There he was
referred to Miss Alice Haines, station
head who listened to his story and
then coldly turned him down. Out
of desperation Doolan slapped her
across the face.

Two Women
Get Mistrial
In Relief Fight
BY Sander VOrOs
Especial to the Daily Worksr)

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 23,-To
prevent exposure Of a conspiracy
between city officials and relief
agencies for suppression Of the
Unemployment Councils, Common
Pleas Judge Hertz today declared a
mistrial in the cases Mrs. Judbach
and Mrs. Martin.
The two women, militant mem
bers of the Unemployment Council
were arrested on Oct. after Miss
Newman, a relief investigator filed
a complaint charging that the two
women compelled her to sign orders
for winter clothing by intimidation,
The announcement Of 3 mistrial
and the setting of a new trial for
Feb. 10 was a surprise move to
spare city dignitsries the ordeal Of
examination on the witness stand
by defense lawyers.
The real attitude of the court was
expressed following the dismissal Of
the jury when Judge Hertz sum-
mcned N. D. Davis, Jr., Of defense
counsel, to the bench and imposed
on him fine of $l00 for con-
tempt Of court. Davis was released
on fifty dollars personal bond.

Union Chief Resorts to
Lies to Prove Call
Was Illegal
BY Tom Keenan,
DAILY Worker Pittsburgh Bureau)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. 2S.-
Their backs against the wall, Presi-
dent Mike Tighe and the top lead
ers of the Amalgamated Associa- =
ton Of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
are making every effort to sabotage
the national conference on Feb. 8
called by the rank and file, writing
letters to every lodge declaring the
conference outlaw" and issuing
daily statements to the press call
culated to raise the red scare.
Having no basis of truth on which
to ban the national meeting, Tighe
has resorted to outright lying to
establish its "illegality." In the
capitalist papers and in the Anal
gamated Journal, he AYERS the
meeting was called without the
sanction" Of the international lodge,
conveying at the same time that the
decision for it was reached in some
underground manner by certain
radicals" in the union.
But the senile Tighe cannot deny
that this decision was reached at a
joint district conference, attended
by 180 delegates from the lodges of
four districts, held in the interna-
tional headquarters Of the union on
Dec. so. Present at this Dec. 30
meeting we're all the international
officials excepting Tighe, who fled
to West Virginia to escape the
wrath of the rank and file-and
not one officer raised word Of
protest against the decision, nor
even 50 much as voted against it,.
Tighe Dodges Meetings
Tighe is very militant about
cracking down on left wing ele-
ments" in the columns of the boss
press, limiting at mass expulsions,
etc,-but the facts remain that he
has for months been afraid to at
tend single district meeting. For
that matter, so have all the rest of
the International officials, lacking
the courage to face the blast Of
criticism from the rank and file

Burmese and the others that while
we love each other, remember this
is a Christian principle, and re-
member thet when it comes to law,
when it comes to representatives in
Congress, don't forget this is a
Christian nation; let's not overwork
democracy.
IT'S contest between individual
ism and Christianity, between some
chosen few and the outside mob,
between Christ and chaos"
In response to a question from a
worker as to how he should vote in
the balloting for so-called collective
bargaining representatives at the
Dodge plant, he said:
Vote for a vertical union. Don't
vote for company union and don't
vote for the A. F. of l.. All auto
mc5ile workers ought to be in one
union. I wish I had the time to
organize all the auto workers in
Michigan. A dime a yesr would be
enough instead of ten dollars a
year in dues"

aim as that of the company-to split
the workers on the basis of isola-
ton of the best fighters.
Few Lodges Follow Tighe
In the whole of District One
there is only one lodge which sup
ports the international office and
plays lapdog for Tighe. This is
Cannonsourg, where a group of old
line reactionary misleaders have a
throttle hold on the lodge, and
seize every opportunity to howl
against the Reds. To a lesser de-
gree, Carnegie and NoneSsen lodges
follow the lead of Cannonsburg.
This idea that strike can not
be legally" called except by action
Of a convention is being carefully
nurtured by the bureaucrats in an
attempt to avert rank and file ac-
ton. In such manner they try to
keep the minds OF the workers away
from the two most important fac
tors in the success of a strike; mass
sentiment for strike, and the ques-
ton OF the degree to which the Or
ganization has been built which is
necessary to launch strike.
PopulariEing Demands
Popularization of the economic
demands of the steel workers is now
the central issue in the literature
distributed by lodges in the first
district of the A, A. The demand
for enactment of the Workers Bill
CH. r. 2827) is one of these, as well
as one for equal rights for Negro
workers. One dollar an hour mini
mum wage, the six-hour day, five
day week, recognition Of the union,
and abolition of the company unions
are the others.
Steel workers of the Monongahela
Valley, mostly employed by the
Carnegie Steel Company, are now
mobilizing for a giant open air
meeting in the Wheat Field
Rankin, on Saturday, Feb. 2, at l
pm. The Carnegie Steel lodges are
inviting all employed and unem-
ployed workers to participate, using
the rally as mass bulld-up for the
national conference the next day.

delegates of lodge after lodge which
is feature Of every district meet
ing.
To these decrepit old bureaucrats,
the only union man is one with a
fully paid up card. The mass un-
employment of steel workers is a
fact they refuse to recognize, and
they consistently drive to close the
ranks of the union against the
worker with only part of his initia-
ton fee paid. This mansuver, they
figure, is their best guarantee
against actually organizing the steel
industry for a clash with the steel
robbers.
Tighe's attempt to throw the red
scare into the ranks of the union
is having its effect on the workers,
but not in the way he reckoned.
Many workers, especially in Du-
quesne, where the steel company re-

Benjamin said yesterday,
The National Action Committee

issued an urgent appeal to all in
terested organizations to send their
representatives before the commit

their opposition to the attempt to
block genuine social insurance by
means Of the WAGNER Lewis fake

Benjamin urged that all organ
izations, whether they can send
delegations or not, should send tele-
grams demanding hearings for their
representatives and exercising their
opposition to the Wagner-Lewis
Bill.
At the same time resolutions
should also be sent to the House
Committee on Labor endorsing the
Workers Bill, H. R, 1927 and call
ing upon the committee to favorahly
report this Bill to the House.
Urge Local Demonstrations
The National Committee also
called upon all local action and

ciated organizations to call dem
onstrations at city halls to demand
that the city councils shall tele-
graph the House Ways and Means
Committee and to the Senate Com
mittee on Finance their opposition
to the Wagner-Lewis bill and their
endorsement of the Workers Bill
H. r. 1927. Such action should es
pecially be demanded of cities that

The Communist Party telegraphed
the House Committee on Labor

arrested last night in the office of
Mrs. Doris Keller, Case Superin-

test the cutting off of relief to
Pinkey.

sum OF insurance money he COL

he present receipt for every nickel

money.
The United Unemployed Relief

sharp fight against the attack Of
Pinkey. The climax of the fight
came yesterday when the three ar

discrimination against the Negro

to Pinkey. The workers were ar
