F CENT CUT ANOTHE EN PER FOLLOWS R BIG SLASH Bonus Taken Away from Subway Workers; But Big Boss Gets Bonus of $235,000 Company Gets the Graft on Uniforms; Now Gives Worse Material for Same Price NEW YORK.—The Daily Worker has just received this letter signed: “B.M.T. Bation Pusher.” ‘Dear Comrades.—The conductors and trainmen of the B.M.T. who last winter had a 15 per cent cut in their wages, and whose bonus was taken away, are now facing another cut, this time of ten per cent. Why this hew cut? “Pid not Mr. Dahil get a bonus of $295,000? Don’t you think Mr. Dahl ig entitled to a yacht where he can @ntértain his chorus gitl friends? “Besides there are those who say the company is taking a ten per cent rake off on uniforms sold by Btown- ing & King. You know, the place where you go downstairs, bump your head on the ceiling and get such good attention for your money. But, @nyway, there is no truth in it. This is no cheap company, not the B.M. T.! They wouldn't even consider any- thing less than 15 per cent. “And sihce the price of clothing has come down somé, the company has arranged for us to wear & uni- form of different material, yes infe- rior material—but of course, sold at the same high price!” MINE STRIKE SPREADING IN PENNSYLVANIA Borich in W.

So many m ners there have repudiated the United Mine Workers of America leadeiship that the NMU was able to call its own mass néeeiing with mass support. This moons that more than 1,500 mine strikers in What started as a UMW strike will have voted within tive last two weeks to take the strike into their own hands. Thousands n ore express dissatisfaction with the UMW offi- cials. John Cinque, UMW president of Sub-district 6, announces that all mass picketing must stop and that enly shree pickets fifty feet apatt can march befofe each mine.

Pen oe ANTI-FASCIST DEMONSTRA- TIONS IN ITALY PARIS.—With the intensification lof the economic crisis in Italy and the inereasé of unemployment, the signs of unrest are steadily growing. / Anti-faseist demonstrations are re- peatedly reported from all parts of the country. A series of anti-fascist demonstra- tions took place in the province of Emilia. In Bagnolo di Piani séveral hundred persons raided the headquar- ters of the fascists in the night, wrecked the place, flung papers, books and furniture into the Street and made a bonfire. In San Martino much anti-fascist propaganda has been conducted in the night and the houses and walls have been covered with anti-fascist slogans. “Glad to See Folks,” Writes Andy Wright Scottsboro Boy NEW YORK. —“I am also glad that Wwe will have a visit frotfi our kins- folk Sunday,” writes Andy Wright. one of the nine Scottsboro boys, in a letter to the International Labor Defens? organizer for the southern district, expressing his appreciation of the visit the TLD arranged between the boys and their parents, ’ The boys are Weary from the long confinement, locked in the death cells every hour of the day, and denied all opportunity of outdoor exercise; but they feel confidence in the Inter- national Labor Defense and the work- ing Class.

Leaders Provide Bunk Program to Get Them Off Real Fight; Rev. Thomas Helps (By a Vet Correspondent) WASHINGTON, June 23—The big job of the leadership of the Bonus Expeditionary Force is to get the thousands of hungry vets to lie quietly in the mud flats of Anacos- tia, So they arrange a daily program of speakers, ranging from the hobo kings, sky pilots, professional “pa- triots,” Liberty Bond salesmen and others of the same kidney. BREAK UP HOMES OF UNEMPLOYED Lucas County a March duly 2 TOLEDO, O., Sune | 23.—The break- ing up of the homes of unemployed workers by the Social Service Fed- ération is denounced in a leaflet is- sued by the Lucas County Council of Unemployed, 14 N. Superior St., Toledo, It calls on all workers to join the hunger march on the Social Service and city and county officials, corner E'm and Supefior, on July 2 at 10 a.m. ‘The Unemployed Council mentions the case of Arle Vanhdenburg, 827 Peck St., wh ohas been unemployed 18 months, except for a few days at odd jobs. ‘The Banner Lumber took his home and the Personal Finance took his furniture,” says the Coun- | cil, ‘and now the Social Service Fed- eration is trying to take his children (ages 10 and 12) away from him, The excuse Miss Acker, one of the social service workers, gives, is that he is not a citizen of Toledo. If he was not a citizen of Toledo, how is it that he owned a home and lived here for the past si xyears? “This is the fifth case handled by the Lucas County Council of Unem- ployed in the past six months, and we know of many more that have been threatened with the same thing, which was avoided only through the help of the Unemployed Councils.” Daily Dope. On an average of three houts a day the vets are treated to an end- less spiel /of paytriotic humbug, and the ‘usual run of long-forgotten, cheesey, war-time “jokes.” Then some flat slob will get up and blubber a lot of sentimental slop about our “dear wives and sweet- hearts,” ending up with a prayer, or pledge to support the “dear old flags” (of the bankers). And o¢ca- Sionally, three cheers for our dear friend and buddy and (under-cover man of the gang that wants to clear us out of here), General Glassford, chief of police, “Only God Can Make a Tree.” But the finishing touch to this oratorical burlesque was furnished by none other than the “Right” Rev. Norman Thomas, who spoke as fol- lows: “It does my heart good t6 see so many fighting men” (standing ankle deep in mud) “who show a real spirit of Americanism.” Thomas evaded the bonus question, but spoke at great length on planting forest trees and “fighting poverty.” Following the reverend’s spicl a rank and file vet tried to get the rostrum, but was completely ignored by the chairman, a Waters’ henech- man. And when this vet tried to call a tank and file meeting, he was thrown into jail, threatened with lynching, and turned over to Police Chief Glassford. ‘ BW. (Vet of Third Division, U.S.A. and U. 8.

LEADERS GO OVER TO COMMUNIST PARTY BERLIN.—Thtee leading members of the Socialist Workers Party, in- cluding a member of its Central Com- mittee, Gertrude Dueby, and the re- sponsible editor of the daily news- paper “The Socialist Worker,” Duck- stein, announce that they are re- signing from the Socialist Workers Party afid request admission into the Communist Party. Study the 14th Plenum Resolutions, Get a copy of the new Pamphlet, “Toward Revolutionary Mass Work” DIES BILL SPONSOR, FISH, IS OWNER OF VILE N. Y. TENEMENT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) at the Union Square demonstration Wednesday night against the Dies Bill, declared that Fish in putting forward the bill was carrying out the orders of Hoover hunger regime in its offensive against the workers. “The sharpest fight must be car- ried on to prevent the passage of this bill,” he said. Old law tenements still standing in the city numbered 67,240, on Dec., 1931, according to the former com- missioner of tenement houses, Wm. F. Deegan, who goes on to admit: “Many rooms in this class of tene- ments have neither doors nor win- dows opening on the outside, Also, the old law did not require toilets or baths in each dwelling unit; for the most part, hall toilets were in- stalled and often one was used by six or more families.” Some 30- 0 Years Old. “Old law” tenements are those built before the Tenement House Law of 1901, which required certain changes with respect to fire, light, ventilation and sanitary conditions. Tt required a toilet for each family and running water {n each apartment. Even this law did not require bath tubs or hot water. Yet the old ten- ements built before this law was In- troduced 1 1901 are still occupied by at least 1,500,000 persons, according to the State Housing Board. Conditions are described as worse on the lower east side, especially the houses from Roosevelt St. to 14th Street and from Chrystie to Goerick Streets. One hundred buildings covering a. frontage of five blocks along Allen St. from Delancey St, to East Broad- way Were condemned for public use in May, 1930. Yet these buildings were rented for at least a year fol- Jowing the condemnation. There is no doubt that go-betweens were these buildings, owned by the city. Harlem as Bad, Similar housing conditions are found in the Harlem district where Negro families are forced to pay high rents for the worst tenements. Har- Jem old law tenements are in “al- most universal delapidation and dis- repair”, the State Housing Board ad- mits. So also in Brooklyn and in Queens, workers must live in windowless sleeping rooms, in unsanitary and | dangerous old law houses where there is constant menace from fire and disease, Yet instead of tearing down old tenements, building new living quar- ters for workers, with a housing pro- gram that would employ thousands of jobless workers, the Tammany- controlled city of New York violates such health and safety provisions as there are in the law. The city mag- istrates suspend sentence in about 85 per cent of the violation cases and impose fines in less than five per cent. Walker Aids Grafters. ‘This richest city in the world, pay- ing its mayor a yearly salary of $40,- 000 (plus graft), does not build even one block of houses where workers can afford to live. Mayor Walker made Speeches just before the 1931 elections, promising to build model houses in the Forsythe-Chrystie St. aréa where seven blocks of houses have been condemned, but of course nothing has been done, the Labor Research Association decares, ‘Two-thirds of the tenement dwel}- ers, even before the crisis, could not afford to pay more than §8 a room a’ month, while private speculators will not build apartments renting for ess than $15 a room monthly. Yet for not being able to pay the rentals demanded even for the darkest, dirt- iest tenements thousands of workers have been thr vn out on Good for Them”? NO STEAM ROLLER, SAY WAR VETS Waters Plans Hand- Picked Bonus Conference (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) “leadership,” but the wrath of the rank and file/of the Illinois group forced Cunningham, a Waters man to resign following his appointment. Joe Gardner, Negro vet was elected com- mander of this group last week and the rank and file insisted today in no uncertain terms that Gardner remain the leader. Conditions in the camps continue to get worse. The food ration has been cut down considerably within the past two days. The rank cd fil is given two “meals” per day, the military police and Waters’ “leadership” receive three meals. j The fight for the seating of Pace, member of the Workers’ Ex-Service- men’s League, on the executive com- mittee is gaining strength. Pace is still acting as corps commander over the commandeered building area, to which post he was elected by the rank and file. Waters’ plan to enlist the veterans in the Bonus Expiditionary Forces for a period of one year under strict military discipline has met with great cpposition among the veterans. Pro- tests were voiced in all camps today against signing membership cards which Waters distributed. To rally the rank and file of vet. erans to discuss their problems, the Washington oPst of the Workers Ex- Servicemen’s League caled a mass meeting tonight at the Pythian Hall. The heat which followed the heavy rains has caused the sick list to swell in all camps and billets. Medical attention is of the most primitive kind. Glassford’s plan for transperta- tion home has received little re~ sponse from the vets, The veterans’ answer is that there is nothing to eat at home. Despite efforts of Glassford andj} the press to break up the “Bonus Expeditionary Forces,” only a few| hundred have left the city and addi- tional recruits continue to arrive. The rank and file of the vets here are standing solid in their fight for the bonus. Elected leadets of B.E.F. contin- gehts, whom the Waters gang has while tried unsuccessfully to oust, in a Statement issued today said: i “The fight is not over. It has only| begun. Congress shall not adjourn until the bonus bill is passed. We have been whispering for the bonus and Congress did not heat. Now we will make Congress hear us. “We are strengthening our fight by building an elected leadership from below and will throw out the betrayets. Now we must call up re- serves—not only more veterans, but contingents of the millions of the unemployed whose needs are just Lad shamefully neglected as ours. “We are establishing connections with the world movement of the vet- erans, which has called an interna- tional congress of veterans in Gen- eva in August. We are now tight- ening our organization for the next stage of the long battle, All workers’ organizations should send solidarity messages and reinforcements.” Jobless Win More Feod in Charlotte; Then Police Attack.

Delegates are expected from the mining fields in Tennessee, and workers and Negro workers of ® Knoxville. There will be a del- egation of Tennessee farmers. Delegates are being-elected in Chattanooga, by the Interna- tional Labor Defense branches, Communist Party units, block com- mitteés and church groups. In Chattanooga, where the mayor gets a salary of 7,500, workers are getting water to drink, cook and wash with, from open sewers. Thous. ands of workers have no toilets and bucketfulls of refuse are kept in their homes or thrown out on the ground, or into “branches” from which work- ers are forced to get their drinking water, Hundreds of unemployed workers have had their water cut off, because they can’t pay their rent, or high water tax. Wage Cuts, Part Time Work. The East Lake textile mill has just put over 2 wage cuts in the last three months, amounting to 20 per cent. The Tom Cat Overall Factory only pays from $4 to $7 a week. Workers in a chair factory, work two and three days a week and get from 40 cents to $1.50 a day. Workers are working for 15 ccnts an hour, on work that the foreman admits he would have to pay 75 cents an hour for in New York or Chitago. Hun- dreds of railroad workers got tricked into taking a 10 per cent wage cut, on promises the unemployed railroad workers would get their jobs back. The unemployed railroad workers are still looking for work. ‘Teachers have had two months’ pay City employees, such as truck drivers, who were getting $21 a week, now work only every other week, and get half pay. Some workers are offered jobs if .they will sign papers that they will vote for Taylor or some other re- publican or democratic candidate. Workers are unable to pay the $2.45 poll tax, and the politicians are busy trying to bay the workers’ votes by offering to pay the tax. The big poll tax means that only the rich ean vote. No starving, ragged worker will eat out $245 to vote. _ STENCH GOES UP ON FAKE FIGHT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Sharkey, is a wealthy ‘contractor and business associate of Farley, the head of the N.

This will effect over 8,000 families with an estimate of some 40,000 persons to go hungry. The city budget balancing has al- ready caused the dismissal of all re- lief job workers; hundreds of civil employees; and drastic cuts in wages.
