J., Oct. 4—New Jersey building trades workers, more than half unemployed and. most, of the remainder working below the union scale without any serious ob- jections from President Brandle of the N, J. Building Trades Council are invited to get all worked up over the mess Brandle ‘has got himself into. Brandle, for whom labor rack- eteering is only a part of his activi- ties, has to stand trial for the sec- ond time on Oct. 27, on charges of evading payment of his income tax. Outside of the labor graft and shake- down game, his opponents accuse him of making big sums from the bonding company of which he is president, the Branleygran company. This outfit gives bond to building contractors, and Brandle sees to it that there are no “labor troubles” if they get bond through his company. Brandle’s answer is, “You're an- other.” He has just issued a public statement declaring that offitials of the republican state administration of New Jersey are his competitors in business. He says that John R. Rogers, collector of internal revenue, who prepared the case against him, “tried to intrude in my business” by soliciting bonds from highway con- struction contractors, and Newark subway contractors. He.says David Baird, republican party candidate for governor, also solicits bonding busi- ness with an implication that the state~ government will favor those who do business with him. | Each side denies the other's charges.

He admits that “food, real. material food is necessary to clear the..mind and “soul” of “those ugly- thoughts which misery implants in men's bosoms.” There is also an earthliness in his Rppeal, but to “god” tat to the bishops and their capitalist sup- porters to organize relief of the usual has been received tcday or yester- day by the Daily Worker. grovel, in order to keep back reyolu- tionary action.
