Mc- | Kee, chairman ci the committee on Law of the board of education, that it turn over all “trustworthy evidence” ‘of brutality and intimidation of sick teachers on the part of Dr. Emil Alt-! man, chief medical examiner of the hoard, the Teachers’ Union, is by no means dropping the case. The union policy | toward obtaining a public hearing and | insisting that each teacher called as is now directed | witness be furnished a copy of his| | testimony. To the unions demand| fect, Zaritsky answered a letter of|that it have a representative at the| mine in the following manner. | ““T took the same position at a conference with the retail cap man- ufacturers here in New York last week telling them that the piece work system cannot and will not be installed before the people will vol- untarily accépt it. It may take a month, it may take a year or a little longer.’ Zaritsky Aids Bosses. “Such statements from our. Inter- national president to an association of manufacturers can be interpreted as nothing else but a promise to the employers to give them the piece work system at a later date. “From the minutes of a preceding special meeting of the New York members of the GEB read at the last! meeting held March 2nd to 10th, 1} discovered that our president advo- cated the giving up of other impor- tant gains of our organization. He urged that the GEB recommend that the New York cap makers give up the 40 hour week and to accept the demand o fthe manufacturers to re- turn to the 44 hour week. I found that the GEB at the special meeting | did not have enough courage to re- ject outright Zaritsky’s prposal. There is no doubt that the manufac- turers’ association was encouraged by his position to make the second lock- out against the New York capmakers. “With the exception of three mem- bers of the board who attacked the president’s embarkment on the piece work policy, the other members of the board either openly sided with the president’s policy or did not have the courage to oppose his plans, “Two full days were given to a re- port of a GEB committee which in- vestigated our Boston local, yet the committe ecould not report any tan- gible irregularity of the leadership of the Boston. local who had for the last five. years been repeatedly re- | elected by the members of Local 7 of Boston, Nevertheless, all efforts were made to adopt a resolution ex- pelling the leadership from office. Failing in this the general board, howveer, decided to order new elec- tions in that local with the hope of eliminating the present executive board and officers from leadership. “A bitter verbal attack then fol- lowed on the leaders of the Chicago vike for having dared to criticise resident Zaritsky’s unconstitutional stand on the piece work proposition, and for informing the membership of Local 5 as to his stand. Try To Oust Militants. “But the limit of the new policy to eliminate all progressive elements from our organization was reached when dealing with Local 43. This lo- cal, the second largest in our Inter- national, numbering close to 4,000 members, has reached its present position undtr progressive leadership, and succeeded in bringing about definite improvements *to the thou- a a SPECIALTY: ITALIAN DISHES A place with atmosphere || Phone Stuyvesant 2816 } | where all radicals meet.

Roe, who has ‘heen our attorney for ten years, we have reached a decision to endeavor to secure from teachers and teachers’ physicians consent to testify before Mr. McKee’s committee. and to offer to Mr. McKee.a list of these persons,” said Henry R. Linville, president of the-union. “We already have a list ef fifteon persons. on whom we can rely to testify. Promises to testify are coming in daily. We expect to build up a list of at least fifty.” The union has been extremely re- iicent in giving out the names of the teachers who brought charges for fear that the board of education will black- list them and take their'positions from them.
