WARSAW, Jan. s. = Thirty-two
miners of the Dobrowa coal fields,
who had grimly stuck to their choice
of death by drowning, rather than
lose their two months meagre back

won their strike today and came to
the surface exhausted, after a week

Originally sixty-two miners were
involved in the desperate strike.
With the pumps stopped and the
water slowly rising. they refused to
ascend to their old starvation ex-
istence without their back earnings.
Last Wednesday thirty lost courage
and came up. The mine-owners,

opinion at their life-and death bag
Cling, were forced to promise the

HAIL FIGHT
FOR WORKERS BILL

After their demands had been
completely rebuffed or treated with
a patronizing disregard BY mem
bers Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton. the concluding sessions Of the
American Youth Congress set to
work yesterday to formulate pro-
gram of action for broadening the
basis of work and carrying forward
organization among the whole OF
the American youth.
Opening sessions Saturday were
devoted to political symposium at
which representatives of the politi-
cal parties spoke. Clarence Hath
away, editor of the Daily Worker,
speaking in the name of the Com
munist Party, brought forward def
mite proposals for the youth TO
carry forward the work of these ses-
sions in unity with the program OF
the American working class. Nor
man Thomas Of the Socialist Party
spoke at previous sessions.
JD0maS Tor workers Bill
Norman Thomas, speaking for the
Socialist Party, said that he agreed
with the sentiments endorsing the
Lundeen Bill. 1t is my understand
ing that with few changes that
are to be made in re-introducing
the bill into Congress, it will PROB
ably be the best bill for the unem-
ployed," he said,
Thomas correctly stated that ii
is necessary for this Congress to
reach out to all youth in q. united
front and endeavor to carry for
ward the program of the first
American Youth Congress.
He pointed out to the assembled
young people that all movements
of the youth are not necessarily
progressive. and warned them
against the onrushing encroach-
ments of fescism and fascist at
tempts to wean the youth to re-
action.
Speaking in the name of the
Communist Party. Hathaway called
upon the young people to definitely
align themselves with the American
working class movement in work

forward those plans into action

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. g.
The Young Peoples Socialist League
yesterday threatened to split the
the National Youth Congress wide
open and Withdrew completely from
the united front if it was the wish
Of the majority of the delegates to
send representative to the Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment
Insurance now in session at the
Washington Auditorium. A working
agreement was reached, however,
that representative, Elizabeth
Scott of the st. James Church, a
Negro delegate, present to the Ma
tional Congress the stand which the
youth took in backing the Workers
Unemployment, Old Age and Social
Insurance Act, H, r. 2627, the new
Workers Bill.
Before an agreement had been
reached, however, August Tyler, of
the Y. P. S. L., cloaking his words
in yelled accusation, declared that
the Young Communist League had
packed the Youth Congress.
THE Y P. S. L. is definitely op-
posed to backing this" Tyler said
in reference to sending a delegation
to the Unemployment Insurance
ngress. I'VE very carefully
planned coming here as minority.
We are opposed to mechanical
majority. If you make decision,
you will be faced with the with
drawal of sections of the confer
ence." Another member of the Y.
P. S. L. point blank declared for
withdrawal.
Weiss Applauded
Mac Weiss, editor of the Young
Worker and member of the Young
Communist League, to save the
unity of the congress, proposed that
a delegate be sent merely to state
the position which the youth had
taken on the Workers Bill. He re-
ceived tumultous applause when he
declared in answer to Tyler that
ANY group which mobilizes it's en-
tire membership behind the Amer
lean Youth Congress, as has the
Young Communist League, in at
tempting to get delegates and rep
resentation from all groups, should
be commended by the Congress and
should be the model of all organiza-
lions here"

oisely the rule Of the working class which has for

PLAN BALLOT.
Defeat Keller's Move
to Prevent Elections
Poll Set for Saturday
Especial to the Daily WORKER

PATERSON, N. j., Jan. Sat a
membership meeting of the plain
goods department of the American
Federation of Silk Workers, called
by the Associated Joint Board Sat-
urday, the workers cleared away the
last attempt of Eli Keller, Love
stoneite manager of the union, to
prevent an election, and next Satur-
day election of new officers of the
department will finally take place.
The workers elected an election
committee consisting of virtually the
same rank and file members they
elected last time, but who were not
able to conduct the poll because of
the technical objections and tricks
attempted by Keller. Keller charged
that former members of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, now
in the U. T. w. cannot run for of
flee as they have not been in the
union for over year, although when
the merger was accomplished full
1edged membership was promised.
His objection was aimed chiefly at L.
Valgo and M. Delveccio, two of the
most active rank and file workers in
the union.
In addition, the meeting approved
the action of the shop chairmen last
Saturday in rejecting the agree
ment negotiated by Eli Keller. A
committee of five to reopen nego-
tiations was elected and includes
those known as most active leaders
of the rank and file.
Last night the much advertised
meeting arranged by the Progress
sive Group" took place at the head
quarters of the Workmens Circle,
controlled by the Jewish Daily For
ward, with Keller and Charles zim-
norman, manager of Local % of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, as speakers. There
we're about 125 present of whom
only handful applauded the SLAM
ders of the Lovestoneites, against the
Communist Party and the rank and
file, who are desperately attempt
ing to retain power.

in Jersey Poll
fspscial to the Daily worker

PATTERSON, N. j., Dec. 6.-Pater-
son dyers scored another victory,
tremendously strengthening their
recent strike gains, by electing
Charles Vigorito as president and
other rank and file workers as Of
ficers of Local 1873 of American
Federation of Silk Overs.
In addition to Vigorito on the
rank and file ticket, John Tovano
was elected secretary. and Tony
Ventura was elected as one of three
business agents. OF the nine eX-
ecutive board members to be elected,
Carlo Trichilo, Carmen De Lorenzo,
Ray Emidio, Ed Healy, Joseph Ven
tura and Harold Hyennouse, all on
!, the rank and file ticket we're elect
ted, according to the count which,
however, does not yet include a
humber of small election districts.
Anthony Ammirato, reactionary
president of the local, and member
Of the National Executive Board of
the United Textile Workers of
America, running for reelection,
was showed under by two to one
majority. The two for business
agents on the administration slate,
to be elected, are Dominick Am
nitrate and John Lydig Charles
Perolo, also on the administration
slate, was elected president In
the course of the election, the main
opposition of the rank and file was
directed against Anthony Ammi-
ratio. Those on the administration
slate who were elected although
supporting the policies of Ammirato,
played some constructive part dur
ing the strike.
The election was one of the most
exciting in the history Of the young
union and served greatly in con-
soiidating the membership for the
first time behind a union leader
ship which will enjoy their conf
dence., The interest in the outcome
of the poll was shown especially
I'M the way hundreds of workers
spent the entire night watching the
Count of the ballots. At each of the
ten polling booths. in addition to
the official tellers, there were many
workers who sat pencil in hand
keeping score as names were being
called out.
The election victory in the dyers
union is regarded as one of the most
significant of the many won by the
rank and file. 1t is in one of the
largest locals of the A. F. of L.; it
follows q strike victory due to rank
and file control and leadership; it
is the greatest blow dealt the Cor
man-MacMahon misleadership of
the U. T. W., and is an answer in
most emphatic manner to the
SANDERS Of the A. F. of L. and So
cialist Party leaders, and of the
Lovestoneites that the Communists
aim to disrupt the trade unions.

Union Groups Map Fight
for Bill in All Labor
Organizations
BY Howard BOIdt
lDaIly Woke staf correspondentl

DAILY Worker STAFF Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
In addition to BOT official delegates
from the American Federation of
Labor, hundreds of other workers
were in attendance at the sub-ses-
sions on trade unions of the Ma
tional Congress for Unemployment
and Social Insurance.
The entire group repudiated
splitting maneuver by Lovestone-
lite, who was present, and unani-
mously endorsed the trade union
resolution to back the Workers
Bill, to carry forward a persistent
struggle in the locals, central bodies
and State organizations for sup
port of the bill, to obtain endorse
ments from every local union, and
to unite with every group which is
fighting for the passage of the
Workers Bill
The resolution further calls for
the organization of rank and file
groups in all the local unions, to
exert every pressure on representa-
tives in Congress. and to carry the
fight into every State legislature for
the adoption of the Workers Bill.
The Lovestoneite had declared
that more than 90 per cent of those
claiming representation were not
bona-1de trade unionists and had
not been elected by their locals al
though in each case credentials
proved otherwise.
Resolution Hits Suspensions
The resolution on trade unions
states in part that mot only have
millions in the American Federation
of Labor lost their means of liveli-
hood through unemployment, but
inside the unions, members have
been dropped from the rolls or
ouSted from their organizations be-
cause unemployment made it i'm
possible for them to pay dues.
Many Of these workers have been
members of their unions for years,
and have helped to build up the
American Federation of Labor. But
this had not prevented the bureau
cratic officials of the unions from
disregarding their plight and carry
ing through in the most brazen
manner, mass suspensions and eX-
pulsions. This policy of discrimina-
ton against the unemployed has
weakened and demoralized the
unions as fighting instruments of
the workers at a time when the ut
most strength was required to face
the determined drive of the en-
ployers to lower wages and destroy
union standards"
United Front Urged
The resolution of the unemployed
sub-session calls for the establish
ing of one organization of the I'M
employed to equip that section of
the working population which is
most vitality concerned with the
unified power of the employed and
unemployed to force Congress to
act on their demands.
The resolution calls for the build
ing of the united front in all locali-
ties in the fight for the immediate
demands of the jobless and for the
enactment OF the Workers Bill. The
resolution further calls for the TAX
ing of necessary steps in localities
to force the several leaderships to
form the united front, and to take
the necessary steps in all locals,
