Local 30 officialdom has approved) a sovcalled union of laborers, calle the nited Building and Common Laborers Union,” originally headed by Vacarrelli and Diaguardi (the | latter once expelled from the build- | ing trades council for crooked deal- | ings), but now run by one, “Lupo the Wolf,” and Diaguardi, Lupo had Frankie Yale and his gang as part of his support and ran Vacar- relli out. Local 30 officials declare that they “He Laughed!” ; Will pull strikes on all jobs where the Wolf and his friends are not levying tribute on the laborers. Swindle on Laborers. There is another union of labor- ers, now discriminated against by Local 30 chiefs. This is the Inter- national Hod Carriers, Building and Common Laborers Union local here. A large part of this local is made up of 1,400 laborers who have already had a neat graft game worked on them. They were in an organization of their own, but in May of last year were persuaded, by a promise jof admission at the rate of 30 cents each, to join the LH.C.B.&C.L., an AF.L, union.

MORE HOOVER FRIENDS GRAFT Republican Gets $ Chairman 6,100 among the Hoover politicians rampant. First, there was the graft- ing of Hoover's personal attorney, | Edwin Shattuck, who made at least | $75,000 because of his close connec- tion to the chief imperialist boss Then some of the Hoover politicians down South sold a lot of Federal jobs. Now, the latest grafting scheme 3 that of Claudius H.

He was being questioned in connection with $36,100 he col- lected from the Union Carbide Co. last year for the use of the Tennes- see River Improvement Association.

Baki Food Workers, will meet in mass} protest this Saturday afternoon at the Tolas Hall, 253 Irving Avenue, | Brooklyn, to fight the Burkhardt- Gundt-T.U.U.L. referendum vote steal. The hundreds who voted for the T.U.U.L. will be told the facts of the referendum and of the A, F. of L. social-fascist tactics being used so that bureaucrats can main- tain control. The latest maneuver is the pas- sage of a motion in the executive board for the expulsion of any mem- ber distributing feaflets which the butéaucrats don’t like. That the rank and file will vote this down overwhelmingly is indicated by re- jeiy sponse given the TUUL leaflets calling Saturday’s meeting. “Today food workers realize that thé only way to fight the big food trusts is thru an industrial union based on the T. U. U. L. program,” the leaflet states. “But Burkhardt and the other ‘great’ leaders are re-| fusing to carry out the member-| ship’s decision to join the TUUL.” FAKE STALIN STORY IS “RIDI- CULOUS NONSENSE.” MOSCOW, Mar. 20.—The fake dispatch which was transferred from Riga, to Latvia, to Berlin, to Lon- don (as well as every other news- faking source in the world) declar- ing that Stalin resigned, was offi- cially denied by the Official News Ageity Tass as “ridiculous non- sense.” ies Mb evealed by Hoover's close ass@eiates | together with | s of Local 3, Amalgamated | became rapidly worse.
