ARNOLD NEW YORK. — Directly across the street from where four ban- ners mockingly proclaimed “Sup- port Unemployment Relief—Elect O'Brien,” 3,500 unemployed relief workers were turned back yester- from jobs to which they had dy been assigned by their lo- cal Home Relief Bureau. At P. S. 79, 38 First Street, where they had been told to go for their jobs, about 50 men loudly voiced their protest and refused to| leave. They had been given as- signment cards, they said, and that meant they were to start work yesterday. McManus, assistant director of attendance, had said so himself. But their assignment ecards were taken away and they had no jobs. \-From the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island they came. Some of them had been chasing about to six different de- partments since Saturday morning. “After waiting on Imes for three hours,” one of the workers said, “they took our cards away and told us to go home. They said the state had held up the fh I don’t know now if I’m going to get my rgeular relief. I Sot a family and we need relief.” AE. of L.

The militant fur workers’ repre- sentative flung out the accusation in @ tempestuous hearing on a proposed code for the fur dressing and fur dyeing industry before N.R.A. Deputy Administrator Roscoe Conkling. The big audience in the walnut-paneled Commerce Department auditorium was electrified. “Several months ago we wrote Donald Richberg, N.R.A. counsel,” asserted Potash, “pointing out that two of the associations with whom NRA. officials were going to con- clude a@ code are racketeering or- ganizations, Since then one of them, the Fur Factors, has disappeared, so you see I am not inventing these charges. These are the facts.” From the time when Conklin read the name of Pietro Lucci, notorious scab of the Fur Joint Council, as a member of the Labor Advisory Board, assigned to the fur industry, the lines were clearly drawn between the workers on the one hand, and N.R.A. officials on the other. “Who's Lucci?” “Lucci, Lucci, who's Lucci? Boo, boo,” shouted the workers. “There will be no interruptions of speakers. We're looking for facts, not arguments,” Conkling warned, attempting to dismiss the delicate subject. The workers grinned knowingly. ‘The Washington Police Depart- ment “Red Squad,” headed by Horace Lineburg, of the Crime Prevention Bureau, and assisted by John Postil- itis (Jerry the Greek), the notorious street demonstration slugger, and William T. Murphy, provocateur, ac- corded the militant fur workers the usual welcome—constant surveillance and threatening looks, Refuting the claim of the A. F. of L. representative, Samuel Marcovich, that he spoke for 85 per cent of the workers, Potash showed that his needle trades organization repre- sented 65 per cent of all the or- ganized fur dressers and dyers and 45 per cent of all the fur dyers and dressers in the United States. Then, turning to Conkling, Potash declared: “I tell you, Mr. Chairman, that the temper of the workers in the fur industry is far from one which will accept the starvation wage proposed in the code,” Code Will Be Ignored “If the proposed code is adopted and is handed over to the present code authority, consisting only of employers, you can be assured that the code will not be respected or enforced by the workers. Both unions in the industry must be rep- resented on an equal basis in the code authority. If this code is ex- ecuted, we will have a war in the industry.” ‘| Commenting on Marcovich’s ommis- | sion of unemployment insurance | from his remarks, Potash stated: “It must be established that the industry must be responsible for the workers whose lives are more important than mere space in a factory. A three per cent unemployment insurance fund should be provided for.” Demanding a thirty-hour week in- stead of the one of 35 proposed in the code, with overtime not to ex- ceed two hours a day and eight hours @ week, Potash stated that “our survey shows that the average number of work weeks in a year is only 15.” The* proposed code, he continued will result in increasing the great unemployment that exists at the present time, Oppose Discrimination The program presented by Potash allows no wage discrimination be- tween male and femaie, young and adult, or white and Negro. It ex- poses the 65 cents an hour “min- imum” (for skilled and unskilled) provided for in the proposed code and demands a range of wages from $1 an hour for second class floor workers to $1.22}2 an hour for knife pullers, blenders and drummers. Potash also demanded: “A code authority board of the fur dressing and fur dyeing industry shali be es: tablished on the basis of equal rep resentation of employer ized labor. The rep organized labor sha’l be ctx ocratically by the labor unions isting in the industry.” On racket- eering and monopolies, Potash pro- posed: “ihe code shal] specifically ‘provide against the participation in the code authority or in any other form of such indlv:duels or so-called associations against whom spepific charges of racitcteering have been brought before the federal author- ibjes.” Concluding his speech, Potash said: “I notice that the Labor Advisory Board has chosen one connected with an organization which killed one of our leaders—” The workers, anticipating the men- tion of Lucci’s name, shouted voci- ferously. Bang, bang, bank, went Conkling’s wel as policemen rushed up the aisles. “Through you, Mr, Chairman, we protest against the appointment o% Lucci,” Potash shouted above the commotion. This brought the morning session to an impressively abrupt close. In the afternoon session, Lyndon Henry, one of the many colored mem- | bers of the militant fur workers’ dele- gation, addressed the hearing.

I stayed on the elevator until the basement and walked to the 13th St. side with Kelley. There was the old press, crippled and still. Some of the men stood around trying wheeis and looking over the broken parts. Kelley was pointing out the loose gears and the collapsed section. He looked grotesque in the bright lights. “That's where 1 was standing, see, and there's some of the ink that spurted. Guess I caught most of it.
