Gutters of New York Their Standards are Lower Than Ours.” By del Enthusiastic Conference Opens Drive for ‘Daily’ 305 Delegates at N. Y. Meet; Plan of Action: Adopted After Report by Hathaway NEW YORK. — “Not bourgeois methods of ballyhoo,” declared Clar- ence Hathaway, editor of the “Daily Worker,” “but a serious organized ef- fort on the part of workers’ organiza- proposals as they stand,” nor, “make a farce of unemy relief.” Harry Laidler, re nting the So- cialist Party, spoke briefly before the board in the morning and sald that except for the fact that his party would like to see commercial banks included in the tax against the sav- ings banks, “the So ist Party was heartily in agreement with the bill as it stands.” Charles G. Tay resident of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., speaking at the hearing as a repre- sentative of all the New York i surance firms, stated very def that the tax will be passed on to t) policy holders. Untermyer would not admit before the board how much of the $40,000,- 000 the city expects to collect through the bill would be used to pay the bankers and what part of it would really go to the unemployed.

Workers’ Laundry : Code to Be Ready at Mass Meeting Bosses Set a Minimum | Wages of 14 Cents an Hour NEW YORK.—The code submitted will be protested Friday night, Sept. 22, at a mass meeting of organized and unorganized workers, called by the Laundry Workers Industrial Union in the Finnish Workers Hall, 13 West 126th St. A vigorous fight against the laun-; dry code is being started, as it sets a new low wage of 14 cents an hour for | Southern workers. | Attempts are being made by the| laundry bosses to classify laundry | drivers as “salesmen” anti so deprive | them of any sort of minimum wage | or maximum guarantee. The recent release of laundry rack- eteers and the jailing of Leon Blum on the frame-up charges for his mili- tant leadership in the Laundry Work- ers Industrial Union will be discussed. The L. W. I. U. will present its code to the workers present for adoption. and DyeingWorkers | Out on Strike Today, ‘Strike Headquarters | Are At Irving Plaza Hall NEW YORK.—A general strike of oll cleaning and dyeing workers has been called for this morning by the General Strike Committee of the Cleaners, Dyers and Pressers Union. In a call addressed to all workers in the industry, members of the union or APL. unions, as well as unorganized workers, the workers are | urged to leave the shops and go to the strike headquarters at Irving Plaza, 15th Street and Irving Place. Fighting against hunger conditions, the strikers are demanding a 36-hour week; skilled mechanics from 83 cents to $1.39 an hour; unskilled workers a minimum of 42 cents; for unemploy- ment insurance; no discrimination against Negro workers. “Sure Thing” Boys on the Spot NEWHOUSE By EDWARD | WHEN talking to bookmakers or reading sports columns you come across phrases like “the boys on the stem,” “fellers in the know,” or “wise money” —-they mean Guffy and Stein. Guffy and Stein you come across around racing stables, dressing rooms, Broadway ticket agencies. They’ll tell you Sail Along is a sure thing in the fifth at Belmont, Ross is a cinch over Canzoneri and how about some nice cut rate ring- side seats for the wrestling! show at Ridgewood Grove? When the Revolution comes, Guffy and Stein will be speculating in the contraband market, probably smuggl- ing Tammany sachems through the Canadian border. Guffy and Stein are crooked and proud of it. When they clean up on some hot tip—usually the result of bribery, doublecrossing, threats of extortion—they boast and gloat with- out shadow of a misgiving. Stein does, at any rate. Guffy says little. He leans against the window-pane of his brother’s ticket agency and smokes his stogy. He spits sharp lit- tle spicks at the sidewalk hydrant. At the end of the fifth round of the Sharkey-Walker fight, Stein edged into my row and asked if I wanted the long end of a 3-to-1 bet that they'll draw. I smiled and shook my_head. “Never mind,” said the Gold Dust Twin, “I know you ain’t got dough. All the same, I’m telling you to get something down on that, You'll get the odds easy. I'm a friend of yours. | Get a five spot down on that. I) wouldn't kid you.” “Sure thing?” “Sure thing.” “Listen, friend of mine,” I said. “How come you wanted to take my dough?” “Business is business. But this is a/ right steer. See if I ain't a friend.” 6) Rs I DIDN'T have a five spot. I did put up a dollar bill and got four to one on it, Sharkey was fighting listlessly then but I didn’t see how Walker could last, still, I was interested. You'll remember they called it a draw. It was Sharkey all the way but they called it a draw. I got four dollars, a dirty look but no information out of Guffy or Stein. The latter claimed he made over $2,000 that night. Guffy wanted to give me 10-to-1 that Lewis would beat Savoldi. Of course Lewis beat Savoldi. Don’t ask me how they do it. I don’t know. If I did the “Daily Work- er’s” drive for $40,000 would be over in_two weeks, But there they are, Guffy and Stein, the Gold Dust Twins, as elo- quent a living commentary on capi- talist sports you can wish for. The spectacle of their slinky ac- tivities is amusing at times because they chisel their own kind, rats whom you like to see cough up. Eat dinner with Guffy and Stein and if you miss | POs! your butter knife, just look for it in your back. They'll be tickled silly to read this, too, That’s their brand horses, lunch with a doublecrossing jockey, dinner with a phoney ama- teur fighter, cocktails with some bleary-eyed bleach. They are plans for their World Series activity now and if things break right, Stein declares with a wink, he may con- sider retirement. We're laying plans, too, and if they break right, the boys’ retirement will be a “sure thing.” In the bag, boys, in the bag. Standing of the Clubs AMERICAN LEAGUE Club WLP.)

Wage Security | NEW YORK.—A general strike in the underwear industry will be begun today, at 10 a.m. by the Underwear Branch of the Needle Trades Work- ers Industrial Union. It will be a strike against sweat- shop conditions and irresponsibility in the industry. It has come to a point where even the paltry wages of the workers are made insecure by} the influx of bankrupt contractors. Workers of all nationalities and ages in the underwear industry are called upon to march with their shops to the strike hall, Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving Pl. Some of the demands are as fol- lows: A 35-hour, five-day week, a minimum scale of wages for all work- ers. No discrimination against Ne- groes, responsibility for the workers’ wages; ungmployment insurance and| the right, to union membership of the workers’ own choice. The workers are urged to become active in the strike mobilization to bring the fight against degrading conditions to a successful conclusion. '‘UFFY and Stein are the spawn of a system which they'll uphold to their last boozy breath. They are the guys who run our sports and skim the cream off the efforts of thou- sands of athletes.

He’s through with that racket now but he can still get you seats on the | 50-yard line for the big games. He claims to have lost $12,000 on the last N.Y.U.-Colgate game, but you don’t see him worrying, it’s all in the day’s work, He likes to be considered a “character” and is almost childishly happy over exclamations of delight when people listen to Stein jawing about their exploits.
