6 Brindellitess’ , THE DAILY WORKER DOCK BUILDERS’ UNION WIPES UP BRINDELL GANC “Social Club” Whipped by Five to One NBW YORK CITY, July 2,—The Brindell gang has been decisively beaten in the election just finished for officers of the Dock Builders’ Union Local 1,456, Running against Kling Nelson, a Brindell gangster heading the Brin- dell s! supported by what is known as the “social club,” Charles Johnson, Jr, was elected president of the:lo- cal by a vote of 1,118 against 226. Thomas F. Walsh, president of the “social club” was or- iginally scheduled to run against Johnson, but he declined at the last moment, evidently not wishing to be the goat. For financial secretaryship also the Brindeilite running on the “social club” slate was whipped by 1,087 to 286. The same defeat of Brindell oc- curred on every position. The election was held after ‘the Brindell faction had accused the ad- ministration under Johnson, who be- came president after Brindell went to Sing Sing for grafting, of misman- aging funds. An investigation thoro- ly disproved the charge. The police watched the election, but there was no trouble. ITALY BUYS U.S. BULLION; DENIES NEW STANDARD ROME, July 2.—Italy has no inten- tion of following ,the lead of Great Britain in returning to a gold stand- ard. Premier Mussolini made this clear in a strong denial today of rumors that the government would introduce gold lire and backed his statement with a threat to prosecute those. who were spreading the rumors.. The. re- ports had caused considerable un- easiness among Italian industrialists. Gold purchases by Italian financiers | in the American market supported the reports, but it was denied the recent | $2,000,000 purchase of bullion was for the government.

Dwight F. Davis, acting secretary | of war, explained why business men | stand by military preparedness, when | he addressed the graduating class of | the army industrial college, at Wash- | ington, June 30, “It is apparent,” he said, “that any scheme which must provide for the} prompt assignment to tasks of sev- eral million industrial workers is a stupendous undertaking. It»would be | impossible te-hope. for any reasonable approach to accomplishment if it were not for the high spirit and, great cap- acity of our business, men, our manu- facturers, our professional and scien- tific men. We hold all real property in fee simple, the very meaning of which was, and is, that against this property. there is no obligation what- ever, except that the fie or fee, or the obligation to serve the state in case of war.” “The task becomes possible only because there exists in this coun- try a body of willing, competent ad- visors and consultants greater In num- ber and capacity than ever elsewhere marshalled to serve one flag. It is essential that you be competent to carry from the army of industry and from industry to the army this essen- tial understanding which will eventu- ally evolve plans adequate for our se- curity.” COMMUNISTS TO HANG FOR THEIR AID TO WORKERS “Court” Slaughters by the Wholesalé SOFIA, (By, Mail)—-The courtmar- tial of Filippoli passed death tences on the “conspirators” Russian Petkoff, Georgy Mardaloff, Antony Khubenoft ger city of Chirpan, and Gencho I mcheff from the vil- lage Kalko T; vo, county of Char- pan, They are to be hanged publicly and fined with 500,000 “lev” (Bulgar- ian currency.)

MILL OWNERS WRING PAY FOR NEW MACHINES OUT OF WORKERS’ WAGES By Worker Correspondent. MONESSEN, Pa., July, 1—The workers in the local tin mill drop- ped their tools, and walked out when notices were posted that they would receive a wage cut and that the mill would close down for three weeks. The men were so disgusted that they did not care if they worked the remainder of their turn. Only one hot mill was working that eve- ning. This is no strike, but it goes to show that they have some pep In them. The mill is closing down to in- stall mechanical doublers but is rumored that they will be closed down for a longer period than stat- ed so that. when the owners are ready to open up again the workers will be willing to work for lower wages. The cut will affect some 800 men, and the closing of the plant will put out of employment close to a thousand men.
