She added that most of those who received baskets had also been | getting help from the Relief Bureaus. She insisted that this was true in most cases even after it was pointed | out that the multiple check-up sys- tem of the Red Cross made it almost | impossible for a worker to obtain| relief from any other additional source William Hodson, chairman of the | Welfare Council, gave a direct con- tradiction to Miss Gibbons’ words. In his opinion, most of the 30,900 fam-| ilies would be found applicable to| Home Relief. When asked the direct question, “What's going to happen to/| the 30,000 families cut off from their relief baskets,” he answered empha- tically, “They'll starve if they don’t get any relief.” “You see,” continued Mr. Hodson, “this NRA business is deceptive and illusory.” Then after a pause he added, in order to keep in line with| the NRA ballyhoo, “only as far as| the Home Relief Bureau is con- cerned.” He pointed out that the| benefits from Roosevelt's public works | program would not be felt until nine months from now and stressed the fact that a starving worker could not be told to wait for his food until} that time. Even then, only an insuf- | ficiant number will find jobs on pub- | lic works projects. “You see,” he said, “we must con- sider the immediate dollar and cents} needs of the unemployed.” Asked if} it was not true that Unemployment | Insurance would immediately put| dollars and cents into the pockets of jobless workers, he thought that it would in a way undermine “self re- spect,” and if the bosses were to shoulder the burden they would then lower wages. Miss Gibbons made the | brazen statement that now is not the time to demand Unemployment | Insurance, “we can, of course, legis- Tate it,” she added with a little smile, “and apply it later on.” The Unemployed Councils in the city are going ahead steadily to pop- ularize the Workers Relief Ordin- ance among the broad masses of the| workers as the only form of aid| ‘whigh can give them temporary re-| Hef against the existing starvation | program. | NRA Seeks to Break N.

Fitty-seven workers who voted against the terms were fired out of the hall. The vote was taken only after the majority of workers had accepted the U.T.W. settlement. Meanwhile, a picket line of 2,000 Dye Workers tried to picket Wash- ington Hall, but were kept out by the police. . The remaining 1,500 workers of the Textile Company who are members of the U.T.W. and N.T.W.U. voted against returning to work by re- maining away from the company union meeting and by walking on the picket line this morning. The sell-out signed by the U.T.W. Local No, 1733 and published in full in the afternoon papers, completely abandons the demands of the strik- ing dye workers. The only mention made of wages and working condi- ¢ in Court as Minor Exposes Injunction (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) date, was on a legal point, which illustrated the entire weakness of the | case presented by the Progressive | Table Co. | Minor, holding a copy of the in- | junction aloft, asked patrolman James | Dowd, who was on the witness stand, whether he was sure he had allowed Minor time to read the injunction be- | fore the arrest. | “Yes,” said Dowd, | “How long did we see it,” asked | |Minor, referring to himself and | Rosenberg. | “Five minutes,” answered the po- | liceman. Minor then waved the tnjunction efore him and asked whether it was | possible for anybody, including the judge, to read the eight closely typed pages of the injunction in five mi- nutes. | Every worker in the room then ap- plauded and cheered Minor. In the | afternoon session, which opened at 2 o'clock after Joseph Tauber, Inter- | national Labor Defense Attorney de- |fending Rosenberg, had forced the admission of the expelled workers, Minor laid bare the NRA and its fa- yorite weapon, the injunction. “The manner in which these in- | junctions are being vsed to break | strikes, starve workers back to facto- ries after wage-cuts, to tear down their standard of living has led to the | | absolute necessity of mass violation | of every injunction,” said Minor. The | growing wave of strikes in the United | | States today will bring with them | the next page in American history, mass violation of the injunctions.” As the session opened, Judge Rudich warned the workers to “be- have” and threatened them with ar- rest for any further “disturbance” of the dignity of the court.

At 12:30 noon, the busiest corner in the world was the scene of a flooding of Anti-War leaflets, and a display from two leading hotels, the Astor and the Cadillac, of banners calling upon the workers to support the United States Establish Joint Picket Lines in Painters’ Strike Strikers of BothUnions Unite to Spread Strike NEW YORK.—On the second day of the general strike called by the Al- teration Painters Union, unity of the strikers of the A. F. of L. and of the independent union was established on the picket line. Joint picket lines | were formed where the unions were picketing in close proximity. The downtown strike committee is concentrating its major efforts on the West Side. A, F. of L. strikers came to the assistance of the Alteration Painters in a number of .cases yes- | terday where the union as calling the workers out on strike. A. F. of L. pickets helped the organizational committee of the Alteration Painters Union repulse the attacks of 15 gang- sters hired by a boss at 241 Central Park. The strike developed greater strength yesterday as 85 shops joined the strike. Two thousand workers re- ported for active strike duty yester- day morning in Brooklyn. During the day organizational and picketing committees doubled in size. Favorable reports from Harlem and the Bronx indicate that many new shops are registering with the union. Many Negro workers are joining the walkout. Today the following strike meetings are called: 1460 Boston Rad., at 6 p.m. Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th St., and 16 to 18 Manhattan Ave., Brook- lyn, at 8 p.m. All painters, regardless of union af- filiations, are urged to attend these mass strike meetings to hear a re- port on the general strike.

If, however, it is proven} that any members of the U.T.W. as- sisted in the destruction of property | bd during the period of the controversy, | such members shall not be consid- | ered under this article.” It also reported in the press that unofficially the U.T.W. had agreed ta accept a meagre 10 per cent increase in wages. But even this small in- crease was not included in the final agreement which the U.T.W. leaders | accepted, The names of the negotiating com- mittee of the U.T.W. have not been made public, but the leaders of the| U.T.W. took part in negotiating this| sell-out, These leaders included Eli| Keller (Lovestoneite), and Frank| Schweitzer, both of Associated Silk (U.T.W.), who have Béen giving the Dyers’ Local daily guidance and mak- ing all press statements for the dyers union and Charles Pirolo, leading Democratic politician, one of the leading organizers_of the Dyers Union, When two pickets were arrested in a clash with the police in front of the Degrado shop this morning, the Picket line marched to the jail and demanded the release of these pickets, The two pickets arrested were Stan- ley Madesunich and Berdonand Vin- cenzo, both members of the N.T.W.U. and were taken off the picket line, DOWNTOWN THE LAST WORD IN FOOD AT POPULAR PRICES SWEET LIFE CAFETERIA 138 FIFTH AVENUE Bet, 18th and 19th Streets NEW YORK CITY Phone: TOmpkins Square 6-9554 John’s Restaurant SPECIALTY—ITALIAN DISHES A place with atmosphere where all radicals meet 302 E. 12th St. New York||| JADE MOUNTAIN American & Chinese Restaurant 197 SECOND AVENUE Bet, 12 & 18 Welcome to Our Comrades A ital ck Bh Me deat danke arly All Comrades meet at the Vegetarian Workers’ Club —DINING ROOM— Natural Food for Your Health 220 E. 14th Street Bet.

But the workers charged that one of the court attendants may have done it during the noon recess. “And anyhow,” yelled a worker, “supposing somebody wrote ‘Vote Democrat,’ would you kick us out then?” The workers remained in the court. Roosevelt Offers $28,000,000 to the Large Railroads To Come from Public Works Fund; Protects Dividends WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.— About $28,000,000 of the Public Works Fund is now available to the large railroads of the country for the purchase of steel rails, President Roosevelt an- nounced today. This is in addition to the $300,000,- 000 which the Government has al- ready granted the railroads through bend Reconstruction Finance Corpora- | tion. | Roosevelt is trying to disguise this new grant to the rich railroads under the claim that this will start business upward. As a matter of fact the amount of steel rails that can be purchased for this amount, about 700,000 tons, will have only a slight effect_ on business, since normal steel rail production is over one million tons a year. The actual effect of Roosevelt's Proposal is to make it easy for the roads to buy steel rails without any | drain on their dividends and bond in- | terest. payments. 7 Cent Fare Looms as Tammany Kills Wall Street Taxes Traction Stocks Rush Upward; City Bonds Also Rise NEW YORK, Sept. 26—With the repeal of all the so-called “Wall Street Taxes” a practical certainty on the recommendation of Samuel Untermyer, Tammany financial ad- viser, and faced with the necessity of raising at least $30,000,000 in new revenue before December 11, the sub- ject of increased subway fare came into increasing prominence today. Wall Street speculators responded eagerly to the rumors of a 7-cent fare by rushing in to buy traction stocks, which leaped upward rapidly. City bonds also rose swiftly as it became clear to Wall Street that the city administration is going to levy new taxes, and wage cuts. The $25,000,000 October 1 payrolls are in danger, but it is conjectured that thoy will not be defaulted until after election, when drastic wage slashes in the lower civil service brackets are predicted. leaflets to support the Anti-War Congress, to protest United States intervention in Cuba, demand the release of Communist leaders in Ger- many, Torgler, Thaelmann, and to| attend the conference to be held October 1 to 3 at the St. Nicholas Arena, Managers of the two hotels im- mediately called Police Headquar- ters as leaflets floated into the Great White Way from the various suites in the two hotels facing Times Square. Colonel Fargoe, publicity man for the Hotel Astor, one of the swankiest hotels in New York, where officers of the Army and Navy stop over, was particularly angry. Colonel Fargoe promptly called the Custodian of Immigration to make a thorough search of the premises, in their vain efforts to “track down” the leaflet throwers and megaphone speakers. Special street cleaners were called from the Sanitation Department to sweep up the fluttering leaflets. Mr. A. E. Williamson, president and General Manager of the Hotel Cadil- lac, “in the heart of Times Square,” stated that he nearly caught one of the workers who hired the suite fac- ing Times Square, Room 336, as he made a dash down the hall and through the servants’ quarters into. the crowded streets below. “Oh, how I would like to have caught that | rascal,” were Mr. Williamson’s sor- rowful words, Interested workers continued to pick up the leaflets, as thousands passed the busy intersection. The cops were ready with riot squads and tear gas, to pounce upon any attempt’ at a meeting. The surprise attack from the two leading hotels left them thwarted and chagrined. Riot Squad Can't Quell Picketers of Doll Factory Strikers Reform Line After Cops Break Picketing | NEW YORK, N. Y.—The sirens of the riot squad echoed and re-echoed around 11th and Broadway last eve- ning, amidst the shouts and cheers of nearly 400 young picketers of the Toy and Doll Workers Union, Workers of the Doll Shop on 11th and Broadway where the blue eagle is pasted in the window are-striking for a 30-hour week and a living wage. The struggle is specifically against the sweat shop and home work. The riot squad broke up the picket line, but it reformed as soon as the cars with the police dissappeared. Scabs have been taken into the shop and are at work, and the picketers’ indignation is high. As the scabs came out of the fac- tory cops made a grab for what they thought was a strike léader, but was James Rousseau a worker scabbing in the shop. An unidentified picketer was arrested together with Rousseau, after a chase in front of Wanamaker’s Department Store, The cop cracked Rousseau over the head mistaking him for the picketer.

Probe of Shoe Trade NEW YORK.—No doubt would have manufacturers as to which union the} shoe strikers chose to support had} they witnessed the spectacular de- | monstration of 6,000 workers at Ar- cadia Hall Monday night. The meeting had been called to re- port the conference with the N.R.A. at which the shoe bosses failed to put in an appearance. Henry Wolf, N.R.A, mediator, had proposed the question of recognition of the union be left to the Washington adminis- tration and that the strikers return to work with all demands granted. Frank Costello was chairman of the meeting. Speakers in Italian and English stressed the importance of recognition of the Union as the only assurance that the workers’ victory will be secured. i. Fred Biedenkapp received a tre-~ mendoys ovation and was cheered for five minutes by the strikers who rose to their feet to demonstrate their loyalty to the Industrial Union. Biedenkapp condemned capitalist justice, which had jailed four mil- itant members of the union for union activity. He declared that in the eighth week of the strike the union is not weaker, but in a much stronger Position to defeat the bosses. Wild cheers and applause greeted his praise of the Daily Worker and the Freiheit for their support of the shoe strike. The meeting adjourned after a re~ solution had been adopted calling on the N.R.A, National Labor Advisory Board to start an investigation of conditions in the shoe industry and a vote taken to continue the strug- gle for recognition of the Union.

The miners are dissatisfied with conditions, and though they have not yet clearly formulated all demands, are already fighting for the six-hour-day, the rights of the mine committees and for full unjon recognition. But despite unclarity on all issues of ‘the code, especially arbitration, etc., the strike is already objectively ‘against the code and the agreement. On the other hand, it is now clear the main bulk of operators refuse rec- ognition of the U.M.W.A,, but main- tain the open shop policy on the pretense of the agreement not affect- ing so-called “captive” mines. All big corporations, including the Frick Coke Co,, the U. S. Steel, Beth- lehem Steel, Midland Steel, Jones & Laughlin, of the Mellon interests, etc. take the position expressed by E. T. Weir, chairman of the National Steel Corporation: “Our mines will meet the wage and working conditions, but we see no reason why we should conform to| a code designed to meet requirements of purely commercial producers. La- bor policies will be decided when they arise,” For Open Shop Another steel concern representa- tive stated “President Roosevelt's ex- tension of the code to all mines out- side of those with union contracts is equivalent to an open shop declar~ ation.” Thus we see that as far as the big trusts are concerned, the Mellon, Mor- gan and Rockefeller interests, they are for the open shop and the U. M. W. A. remains where it was before the big so-called “victory” that the miners were told Lewis scored: ‘This situation clearly reveals that the NRA and Roosevelt tried to swindle the miners by giving them the open shop and to force them back to work, The Lewis, Fagan, Feeny leadership is in the crisis of its life. ‘The miners are disregarding them. Yet they are making every effort to send the miners back to work and to stop the spreading of the strike. They are. bending every effort to get the miners back by Oct. 2nd, when the code and agreement go into effect and when Lewis hopes to come out as a hero at the A. F. of L. con- vention also opening in Washington on that date. Aim to Break Strike Murray, O'Leary and Fagan, U. M. ‘W.

As before, they are striking for higher wages, for better conditions for the rights of organization, Only now, the strike is of much greater sivnificance and the miners are learning much and beeinnineg to free themselves of many former illusions, Thev are tak- GP Edward A Coupie “T work in Klein’s Depar We had to take part in the N. lost your job. most represented.

Court room spectators as well as foreign journalists were today still under the spell of Ernst Torgler’s impressive and impassioned speech ‘nade yesterday to the Nazi judges in which he reiterated his innocence and denounced the attempt to link up the Reichstag fire with the Com- munist Party. Torgler was the par- liamentary leader in the Reichstag of the Communist deputies. Torgler, in relating the story of his life, told of the influence upon him of his mother with her fifty years’ experience in the revolution- ary movement of Germany, of his being drafted for service during the imperialist war and of his being wounded twice. The Communist leader pointed out that inasmuch as the Nazi lawyer appointed to defend him had asserted that he would defend Torgler “as a person,” but would not defend the Communist Party of Germany—that he, Torgler, would take upon him- self the task of defending his Party. Continue van der Lubbe Quiz Interrogation of Marinus van der Lubbe, Dutch provocateur, was re- sumed this, morning when the state began developing its evidence that he was actually involved in the burn- ing of the Reichstag building. The pzpsecution having brought its case against him up to two days before the Reichstag blaze, it today sought to prove that on February 25, two days before the fire, van der Lubbe set a fire in the attic of a Berlin Palace. (Torgler, testifying yesterday, had vigorously denied that van der Lubbe had any connection with the Com- munist Party of Germany and char- acterized the Nazi tool and his friends as “irresponsible syndicalists and an- archists.”) Van der Lubbe today admitted set- ting fires to a welfare office, the Berlin City Hall and the former Im- perial Palace a few days prior to the Reichstag blaze. i Foreign journalists laughed up- roariously when Van der Lubbe ex- plained, in his alleged confession, that the fire at the City Hall was a fail- ure because it had been set on the roof and was extinguished by the wind—contrary to its usual practice. ‘The 24-year-old Hollander Dutch- man continued to be a baffling wit- ness today, showing himself to be either, an out-and-out imbecile or a superb actor, playing a role for the benefit of the Nazis,” His testimony ing some forward stevs to free Shack t was as contradictory and incoherent selves from Lewis & Co. ‘The National Miners Union and left forces in the U.M.W.A. are showing the miners the road to victory.
