Clio Organizes Drive
To Unionize 100000
Workers in South

The CLIO Executive Board yester-
day set up machinery for a drive
to organize an estimated 1900 900
non-union workers in the South
and President Philip Murray said
the campaign would start in about
a month.
Van A. Bittner, assistant to the
president Of the United Steel Work
ers and former War Labor Board
member, was named to direct the
drive to which the CLIO has pledged
100000 Mr.. Bittner played a
leading part in organizing the
United Packing House Workers.
Assisting Mr.. Bittner will be- Sher-
man H. Dalrymple, former head of
the United Rubber Workers; George
Baldanzi of the United Textile
Workers, Richard Bauer,o f the CLIO
staff, and Lee FRESHMAN, the organ
izaztion's general counsel. An ad-
visory committee was named, too
headed by Allan Haywood, director
OF CLIO organizing activities.
The organizational campaign even
tually will take in all Southern
States, but Mr.. Haywood said early
efforts would be concentrated in
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North
Carolina and some parts of Missis-
Sippi and Louisiana. He estimated
there were half million morgan
lied workers in the textile and forest
products industries alone. The
drive, however, will take in many
other industries, including furniture
clothing, rubber, oil, chemical, pack
ing house and the "White-c collar"
fields.
Mr.. Murray said that late survey
showed the number of workers in
steel fabricating plants still on strike
had been cut to $4,000 in the past
day or so. Agreements calling for
an 1872 cents an hour wage increase
he said, had been signed with all but
3zo 1aorlcators, most of which are
small.
About the meeting of his board
Mr.. Murray told newsmen:
This was a day of triumph for
the C1O executive board. We de-
voted most of the day to celebrating
our victories in getting wage in
creases for our members. You might
say the spirit of Joy that accom-
panies triumph pervaded the at
mosphere throughout the day."
The executive board passed a
series OF resolutions on domestic
issues, invoking the full support of
its membership to press for extern
sion by Congress of the price con-
troll act unchanged, advocating
broadening of the social security
program and increasing compensa-
ton, urging the Senate to reject
GRIPPING amendments to the admin
lstration bill to raise the statutory
minimum wage. urging passage of
the bill to abolish the poll tax and
condemning police brutality against
strikers.

that Iran give Russia an oil con-
cession in Northern Iran.
This important and fully natural
step from the side of the Soviet
Union had as its aim the removal
of one of the serious obstacles in
the way of improving Soviet-Iran
relations, and for creating a basis
for broadening economic collabora-
ton between the USSR and Iran, {"
Izvestia asserted.
But this proposal was met with
raving resistance by the Iranian
ruling upper crusts," the newspaper
declared.

that the Soviet government, reck-
oning that Iran is located in the
neighborhood of vitality important
centers of the Soviet Union, and a
place which served as a base for
foreign intervention against the
Caucasus and Turkmen, insisted
that the concessions returned to
Iran would not be given to for
eigners.
''It rightly regards this condition
as known guarantee of the security
Of its southern frontiers"
However, Izvestia added, "the ink
had not had time to dry on the text
of the Soviet-Iranian treaty when
the Iranian government introduced
into the Mails Parliament) a bill
for granting oil concessions to the
well-known American Standard Oil
Co. in November of the same year,
1921.
This concession, said Izvestia, en-
braced the northern provinces of
Iran and was immediate to Baku,
entering into territories of many
former Russian concessions. There
fore granting of this concession was
regarded as a threat to the Baku
oil district and a collision between
the interests of the Soviet Union
and the United States"
Another Violation Charged.
Still another treaty violation was
the granting of an oil concession
in March, 1899, to subsidiary of
the British-Dutch concern Royal
Dutch Shell" Izvestia said.
The newspaper accused the head
of the company with being lone
of the most influential inspirers
of interventionist plans against the
U. S. S. r. and who aided the
most hostile clique Of English i'm
perialists."
The concession covered 10000
square miles and it's northern Sec
ton was in immediate proximity"
to Baku, I1vestia said.
According to this agreement the
concession of this firm had the
right to erect on the concession
railways, airdromes, telephone and
CCACS1 dk4A 1A1ASo, 4oNl1O SOdU1Ollio, dOs
ditional bases for fuel, etc." lives
tia added.
"All this looked like preparations
for a base camouflaged under con-
cession and directed against the
security of the U. S. S. r.
There is no doubt that by CIV
ing this concession to the Anglo
Dutch firm the Iranian ruling cir
cles had the desire to create
threat to Baku's oil districts and
agitate a sharpening of relations
between the Soviet Union and Brit
ain.
This concession was nullified
only in 1914, that is, five years after
it was given and only as the result
of persistent protest of the Soviet
government"
Asked Concession in 1914.

Union proposed in September, 1914,

Charleston, S. CA blunt challenge
to the Ku Klux Klan on the issue of
freedom for all workers, without re-
gard to race, color or creed, was hurl-
ed by AFL President William Green
in an address before the annual con-
vention of the South Carolina State
Federation of Labor.
Squirting the drive throughout the
South to add 100000 members to
the rolls of the AFL within the next
year, Mr.. Green declared:
"The final principle upon which
our organization drive here is based
is that it will offer the benefits of
unionism to all workers.
Let us make ourselves entirely
clear on this point. The decent people
of the South do not hate the Negro,
nor do they wish to deny him opportun-
ity for economic advancement. Race
hatred has no place in America, nor
in the trade union movement. The
secret forces which seek to foment
race hatred and prejudice are the
very same as those which stir up an
tagonism against unions.
"The pioneers in our labor move
ment fought and overcame enemies
who skulked behind masks and white
sheets and who sought to terrorize
union organizers by fiery crosses and
threats of lynching. Such Fascist fore
es are hostile to the high traditions
of American freedom. The American
Federation of Labor is going to con-
tinue fighting them and their hateful
PHILOSOPHERS until they are eradicated.
During the past few years, organ
lied labor has been forced to defend
itself against vicious hate campaign
which eliminated in widespread Sc
ries of attempts to impair the free
dom of American workers and Amer
ican trade unions by enactments of
Congress and number of State Legis-
latures.
.This campaign has been cleverly
directed by sinister combination of
reactionary interests, including veal
thy employers, corrupt politicians and
racketeering promoters.
"The American Federation of La
Dor has succeeded in the last few
weeks in halting these anti-labor
forces in their tracks in Washington.
The President vetoed the Case Bill.
Congress, in turn, has decided to let
the Presidents strike-control bill die.
'"This drive in the South will revive
industrial and agricultural activity
in this area by creating greater pur-
chasing power and wider markets.
1t will help to promote the economic
and social welfare Of the entire ma
ton.
Trying to maintain prosperous
industry and agriculture without high
purchasing power is just as futile as
attempting to run an engine without
fuel. It cannot be done.

Greater Buying Power and Better Markets Will
Help Workers

"But where labor is well-organized
and union wages are paid, different
picture presents itself. With greater
purchasing power come higher stand
ards of living, thriving business and
more prosperous farming. The bene-
fits accrue not only to labor but to the
entire community"
Lashing out at the Communist in
fluence within the CIO, (Which dared
even to picket the White House and
condemn America for Imperialism, !"
Mr.. Green said:
at is not surprising that the poll
cies of the CIO are affected by the
policies of Stain. A number of their
key organizations are controlled lock,
stock and barrel by Communist lead
ers. These Communist leaders hold
places on the CLOS National Execu-
tive Board Instead of repudiating
them, the CIO placates them and
bows to their will.
81 predict that the workers of the
South will overwhelmingly reject af-
filiation with such an organization.
The Southern workers are patriotic
Americans. They can never feel at
home in an organization which traf-
fics with a foreign nation bitterly op-
posed to the American way of life"
