McCooey, Brooklyn emocratic leader, agreeing with Re- yublicans, decided to create 12 more nips so that they could be filled grafters, among whom was in- luded McCooye’s son, the Seabury estigators continued to scratch the e huge city graft at their , who is counsel for the ader Committee, that is sup- sed to be investigating city corrup- has in mind noé only to get a at, political job himself under ise of “honesty”, but wants to EFFORT TO BRE: AK CRUSADER STRIKE} Epstein of A.F.L, Act- ing With Bosses N. YORK.—Mr. Metarkis, own- er of the Crusader Restaurant, and his associates have mobilized the entire machinery at their disposal to try and break the strike of the work- ers. First he was called on by one of the best friends of the bosses, Ep- in, the well known racketeer from Local 302 of the A. F. of L., who is working out plans to break the strike. Whatever plans they have devised for the purpose will be effectively met by the Food Workers Industrial Union and brought to the attention of the members of Local 302 who are ready to fight against th estrike breaking officials. Members of the Local are ready to bring this up at the next membership meeting this coming Friday night, October 30, at Beethoven Hall The next step of the boss was to try and break down the morale of the strikers at a conference called under the pretext of trying to settle the strike where from the beginning it was clearly seen that this was a manouyer to force the workers back to work. The boss flatly refused to allow union conditions. He appealed to the workers to go back to work on the grounds he is a “very nice. boss” and doesn't put thru direct wage cuts as Foltis & Fisher. But he does it in a different way. He fires the work- ers and hires new ones for less money in order to lower the wage seale, The workers sensed the threat and together with the officials of the Union decided to concentrate more efforts towards bringing victory. The xt few days will see more inten- led picketing and mass pressure.

WERE “SELECTED” y capitalist government in the eyes of the workers, In doing this he tries to avoid digging up too much graft, contenting himself with brush- ing off a few specks. To make sure of sufficient votes to put over its candidates, the demo- cratie and republican party register a lot of fake votes, the testimony showed on Thursday. While only 32 instances were reported, everybody knows that Seabury is just keeping back the fact that the capitalist par- ties register thousands of fake votes, enough in every district te carry their candidates. Everything is done in an effort to insure the re-election of the grafters. Manufacture Judgeships. In the matter of judges, who will later send workers to prison for fight- ing for unemployment relief, or who will order eyictions by the thousands, the Republican and Democratic par- ties do not even go to the extent of an election, the Seabury investiga- tion showed. McCogey and Theofel, the heads respectively of the Repub- lican and Democratic grafting ma- chines, simply met, decided 12 new judgeships should be created—more efficiently in these times of crisis to railroad unemployed workers to jail —and that the best way of dividing the spoils would be to hand seven judges to the democrats and five to the republicans. As there were no opposing judges, election was cer- tain. How much each judge paid for the certainty of getting his rake-oft, the Seabury investigation did not show, though it did bring out a few facts about “donations” to election funds—when there was to be no elec- tion! MeCooey, not content with his big share of graft (which Seabury did not bring out) decided to bring a little more into the family and so put his 32-year-old son Jack McCooey into a judgeship. Jack McCooey's life has been just one grafting job after another; and now besides graft- ing he will be in a position to deal with the lives of thousands of work- ers on strike or on the bread lines or facing evictions.

J., Oct. . 29.—Chief of Police McRell has refused a per- mit to the unemployed for this Sat- urday, Oct, 31, at 11 a. m. to dem- onstrate at the corner of Broad and Green Streets at the time that they will be presenting demands for free food and clothing for all children of unemployed parents. Dan Shugrue, Newark secretary of the Unemployed Council, after being verbaliy refused the permit today by the Chief himself stated, “This is a brazen violation of free speech. It is an attempt to keep the unemployed workers and their starving children from presenting their demands for free food and shoes to the Board of Education. Chief McRell has allowed both the Republican and Democratic parties to parade all over Broad St. But he claims that we will block traffic. He is allowing the notorious labor faker, Matthew Woll, to parade and block traffic next Friday night— and he will even have traffic re- routed for him if necessary, but we cannot hold a demonstration because we ‘will block traffic.’ We are going ahead with the demonstration, We are going to present our demands for free food and shoes for all children of the unemployed. We are going to win some relief for the unemployed workers.” Dan Shugrue also pointed out that the reason the Republicans and Democrats are allowed to block traf- fic is because they represent the bosses and the big financial and in- dustrial interests. “We are not per- mitted to demonstrate because we really represent the interests of the workers and their children and are determined to fight till we get free food and shoes for these starving children, and»some immediate relief for their unemployed parents.” jani; Overture, “Voyevode,” Tchai- koysky; “Salome’s Dance,” Strauss; and “Fantastic” Symphony, Berlioz.

IN ALL PLANTS Workers ‘Fired, Then Rehired at Lower q Wage Scale DETROIT.—Henry Ford, who mort than a year ago after a conference with President Hoover stated that he would not attack the wage scale, haa Jaunched into a wholesale wage slashing campaign that will hit all the workers in the Ford plants. The minimum scale whcih was seb over a year ago at $7 is now being systematically reduced to $6. Thou- sands of the Ford workers have been fired during the past year with no hope of returning to work again, Now the remaining workers are to be fired and rehired at a lower wage. This firing of workers and rehiring at a lower wage has been going on for some time. Each department Jays off the workers for what they call “mechanical changes.” The workers must then report to the company employment office where they are examined and in many cases rejected altogether. These who are rehired are assigned to Ofterent jobs, and lower pay. Although the Detroit newepapess state that Ford is hiring new men in the Rolling Mills, these mills are shut down flat. The method of Ford's procedure in his attack on the wages of the workers points out clearly the fear held by the bosses that the workers will organize and strike against the wage-cuts. The Ford workers must not be confused by the hiring and rehiring scheme. Hit the wage-cut by organizing into the Auto Workers Industrial Union and striking.
