—~ ee es nee (OINT BOARD HEAD BRANDS “RELIEF” OFFER INSINCERE Urges Fight to Rebuild Organization Over the left wing Joint Board to consider the serious unemployment crisis in the industry, thunderously applauded the declaration of their manager, Ben Gold, when he condemned the insincere} cffer of $15,000 as charity made by. the fur bosses to the 8,000 jobless workers, The "meeting was held at Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St. Hypocritical. He branded as hypocritical the “re- lief project” made by the employers after they, joining with the Ameri- wan Federation of Labor officials had sueceeied in wrecking unionism in the industry. He declared that the workers recognize if as an attempt to cloak their lebor-baiting activities. He warned the workers, however, not to eondemn those applying for relief to the “Chatity Chest” of the employers, “Instead,” Gold said, “tell those whose bitter need forced them to apply for charity, that they should not forget that the money they got was. wrung from their blood a rhousandfold, and that no sense of gratitude should: keep them from fighting the bosses bitterly to rebuild oar union into the powerful instru- ment for the improvement of our conditions it once was.” Denounce A. F. L. Other speakers at the meeting voiced the same condemnation of the A. F. of L. heads and the socialist cfficialdom whose establishment of a dual union in the trade resulted in the smashing of the workers’ organiza- tion. It was pointed out that while ificusands of workers were walking the streets, many shops were working us much as 79 and 80 hours a week at a miserable wage. That more than twice the amcunt of those working would be empldyed now if there was a strong union to enforce the 40 ‘hour week, was one of the reasons cited by the speakers for rallying around the Joint Board. Isadore Shapiro, former chairman of the Joint Board, was chairman of the meeting, which was held at 2 o’elock in Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St. Teachers Ordered To Work While Ill That sick teachers are ordered back to work by Dr. Emil Altman, chief médical examiner of the department of education, is charged by Henry R. Linville, president of the Teach- ers’ Union, in a letter to school prin- cipals asking their cooperation —in procuring information on teachers’ experiences with the, physician. Linville said that the union was collecting documentary evidence|s. proving that teachers who are ill are “ordered back to work” against the advice of their personal physicians. many times with “disastrous results.” The principals were told that in the examination of teachers by Alt- man, “third degree” tacties are prac- | ticed as well as other conduct “utter- | ly reprehensible.” Driver Borrows $100, Loses Cab and Home Among the victims that have been fleeced by loan sharks whose ac- tivities are now. being investigated by Charles H.
