He created a sensation when he exposed the mis- handling of the unemployment in- <Qrance fund in 1927. He told how | the bosses, through various legal! tricks, gave Sigman, then president of the International, the opportunity | to misuse the fund of $650,000 which was set aside for unemployment in- surance for the workers. Howard pounded vigorously on the table, de- claring that Hyman would not be permitted to continue making charges against anyone. In a sharp retort Hyman stated that he was not mak- ing charges, but was presenting facts and challenged the bosses who were | gathered at the hearing to deny these | facts. In subsequent questioning, Hyman | showed why the demand of the In- ternational for a 30-hour week was a gesture, a paper demand which the Officials had no intention of getting | for the workers. On the other hand, the Industrial Union recognized that the workers would not be able to force a $55 ‘minimum wage for 30) hours of work a week from the| bosses and was therefore.fighting for a 33-hour week with no reduction in pay, which it intends to win.
