Call Published
Socialist Party Of Wayne County,
Detroit, Michigan.
Dear Comrades:
The New Leader" of Saturday,
Feb. g. contains a cali reprinted
from the "Arbeiter Zeitung." organ
Of the Austrian Socialists, adj
dressed: ITO the workers of the
world, to all parties Of the Labor
and Socialist international, and the
Communist international" This
call, in part, reads:
For the first anniversary of the
February struggle we have Joined
together in a revolutionary united
front. In memory of our martyrs,
in memory Of the heroic fighters of
the SchutZbund, in deep solidarity
with our best comrades who are
confined in the fascist prisons, We
have put aside the unhappy fratri-
cidal warfare and formed z union
for action, in the conviction that
fascisn can only be defeated by a
united working class determined to
act in a revolutionary manner"
Demonstrations Urged
The call continues and urges that
demonstrations be held in behalf of
the Austrian workers for the fol-
lowing demands:
Release all working class pris-
oners.
stop the scandal Of the concen-
tration camps!
Restore the political and eco
nonnic rights and liberties of the
workers!
Oppose imperialist war arrna-
ments!'
The Communist Party is arrang-
ing a mass meeting to remember
the Vienna heroes and in support
Of this appeal, but we think 1t ap-
proprlate, especially on this occa-
sion, that a joint meeting be held
between the Socialist and Conn1u-
mist Parties for these demands. We
should like to hear from you as to
the possibility Of such joint meet
ing.
We would appreciate very early
reply.
Fraternally yours,

correct work, in the unions of the
A. F. of L., upon the leadership of
economic struggles, and especially
the strike movement. Our Labor
Party policy, therefore, depends
upon, and is an outgrowth of, our
general trade union policy and prac-
tice. The changes in this field,
which we are now completing after
q, year of cautious experiment and
testing of our ground, have proved
their correctness UP to the hilt, have
kept us among and at the head of
the most important mass struggles
and movements. The Party mem
bership has already mastered most
Of the lessons of this changed trade
union policy. 1t will more quickly
master the Labor Party policy in
all it's details, when it understands
this as only a further extension of
the trade union policy, of the whole
struggle for the united working class
front against capital.
In this report I have outlined the
Labor Party policy of the Central
Committee. discussed few of its
most complicated phases, and placed
its relation to the development of
events and the companion policies
of our Party Further elaboration
will, I think, be most fruitful in the
form Of extended questions and an
swers, To this. the answering of all
concrete questions raised from the
floor Of this meeting, We propose to
devote the main time at cur disposal
tonight.

teen metal finishers at the Murray
Body Plant. where a strike Of main-
tenance men has been in progress
for nearly two weeks, stopped work
Monday and demanded an increase
IN wages. They did rot return till
they we're promised an increase.
The next morning lesflst was
handed out by a group in the metal
finishing department. calling on all
the men to stop work and demand
one dollar an hour.
The strike Of the maintenance
men continued solid and the walk
out has affected the operation Of
other departments.
The Detroit District Committee
OF the Mechanics Educational So
ciety Of America, independent union
Of tool and diemakers. has issued q
leaflet on the Murray strike which
declares:
we also feel that the District
Council Of the Federal Unions. in
conjunction with the M. z. S. A.,
should take steps to widen the scope
Of the strike wherever justified bv

Of L. teamsters and taxi men to
the Truscon Steel strike led BY the
M. E. S. A. in Cleveland "as a con-
dlt1on Of aiding the maintenance
men at Murray's.'
However, the Murray workers
and not the top officials are the
ones carrying on the strike here.
1t is, therefore. certainly not to the
interests Of either the A. F. of L.
or the NJ. E. S. A, members or the
unorganized workers to make the

Murray strikers, who today are in

workers, deserve the unconditional
support Of the entire labor move

It is to the interests of the NJ z.
S. A. to spread the strike and helm
win it.

Basis in the Unions
The key to the breakaway of the
masses from the Roosevelt New Deal
is in the economic struggles, in the
trade unions. The present struggles
in auto and steel are the center,
and give the type, of the process
which we must hasten, further de-
velop, and guide into correct chan
nels.
It is therefore clear that all
achievements in the fight for a

 Indian Situation
 Some time back Congress passea a law making all Indians within the domain, citizens of the Un te d States MT. O'Neill said, but the Government still maintains the right to control the property of Indians. For instance, the Oklahoma Indians who own oil lands cannot spend the money derived therefrom as they will, but must spend it under government supervision. It is not incompatible for Indians to be citizens and still be wards of the Government"
 MT. O'Neill expressed the opinion that all natives should be prohibited from drinking intoxicating liquor.

OF AFGE
SENDS WIRES
TO SENATE
EIeventh-Hour Effort
Made to Prevent
Loss of Measures

An eleventh-hour effort was
made today by E. Claude Babcock,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employe, to
save the Government employee
leave bills from being dashed on
the rocks of adjournment.
Virtually all hope of Congress
sional approval of the bills at this
session faded late yesterday when
Senator Kenneth Mcclellan CD
of Tennessee refused to permit
their passage without his amend
ment eliminating mechanics in
the Navy and Marine Corps from
their provisions.
Debate Barred
It had been announced pre-
viously by Senator Joseph T. Rob-
inson of Arkansas, Democratic
floor leader, that if any debate on
the measures was required they
would not be allowed to come up
for consideration. Senator Nickel.
lars insistence that his amend.
ment be considered called for de-
bate and blocked consideration of
the measures.
Today Mr.. Babcock sent the fol-
lowing telegram to each member
of the Senate:
"WilI you not be willing to
stay here an hour or two extra
SO that our leave bills can come
up under motion? This will give
justice to $4,000 employees and
only means a small amount of
to time YOU"
The bills restore to Government
employees 80 days annual leave
and permits accumulation of sick
leave up to 100 days.
Hope Is Scant
Admitting that his effort is a
dying attempt" to get the meas
ures approved, Mr.. Babcock
said he would not feel that he
had done everything in his power
in behalf of the proposals un-
less he took this step.
Although there is little time
left for this effort to bear fruit,
since Congress is expected to quit
tonight or tomorrow, the AFGE
head was in personal contact
with several Senators today in
the hope of getting action.
