Pettit, director of the Civil Works Service, announced that eight men and fifteen women were out “hunting for jobs on which to employ those workers already regis- tered.” Present Projects Inadequate Because of the refusal of the Roosevelt government and the entire C. W. A, administration to engage in an actual civil works program that would entail the building of much- needed homes for the unemployed workers, recreational centers and parks in working-class neighborhoods and the building of adequate hospi- tal facilities for all workers, there is is a lack of projects today with which to employ the thousands of workers now registered under the C. W. A. Child Labor Projects Under Way Instead of this, projects now un- der way by the New York C. W. A. include a child labor project to em- ploy 600 boys from the ages of 16 to 18 years who will be discharged from local orphan institutions. At the close of the Civil Works jobs no provision is made for the continu- ance of the employment of these youths. Lip reading classes for the deaf are listed as another project. Mr. Pettit said that he “was to confer with Father Patrick O’Boyle, director of child welfare of the Cath- olic Charities on the placing of a large number of children.” LICENSE NOTICES | L en Ye NOTICE is hereby given that license num- ber NYB 15168 has been issued to the undersigned to sell beer and wine at re- tail, under Section 76 of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, at 326~7th Avenue, New York City, to be consumed upon the said premises.

Prosecutor | ‘Repeats Old Lies in Summing Up atTrial (Continued . fro Page 1) speech was under ne cireamstances to be interrupted, Again Werner raised the cry about Bolshevik revolution which | threatened ail of Europe at the end of 1932 and the beginning of 1933, claim- ing that “thanks to the energetic in- tervention by the German govern- ment the attempt had been foiled, saving not only Germany, but all Eu- rope from Bolshevism.” This fact, he claimed, subsequently recognized, ex- plained the intense interest in the trial “both at home and abroad.” He disregarded completely the evidence that had been presented both at the German trial and at the London enquiry, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Nazis themselves had fired the Reichstag in order to pin it on the German Com- munist Party. The “Brown Book” he descrbed as a “dirty” book, and labelled the Nazi tool Van der Lubbe as a Communist incendiary despite Van der Lubbe’s own statements in the court to the contrary and despite the fact that he was openly revealed by the “Brown Book” as being in the employ of the Nazis. He stated that he had asked the London Inquiry Committee to send their material to the German au- thorites, but that he had not received this material. He labelled as a “threadbare excuse” the completely valid reason given by the London Committee: namely, that such docu- ments were too valuable to entrust to the hands of the Nazi prosecution, which would have destroyed all evi- dence handed to them which proved their own guilt. Entering into his “political” attack, ‘Werner pointed out the presence in the prisoner’s dock of “well-known Communists, including members of the Executive Committee of the Com- munist International,” and used the world-wide program of the Commu- nist International in an attempt to charge the German Communist Party with “political responsibility for the Reichstag arson, which Goering and the Nazis fired as a pretext for let- ting loose the most vicious reign of terror of recent years. Its work of or- ganizing the German workers for the establishment of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat he interpreted as a threat for armed uprising and seizure of power by the German Communist Party at the beginning of 1933.

Ad- ministrator General Hugh S. John- son yesterday, when a delegation rep- resenting a union of N.R.A. workers went straight to his office and pro- tested against threats made to union members and against overtime. Johnson was an unwilling host. He stalled off receiving the delegation for almost an hour, but gave in after union leaders handed reporters a let- |ter carrying direct evidence that |N.R.A, officials are fighting union- | ization in their own bailwick. Protest Against Overtime This was the first time Johnson officially recognized the existence of |the union of his own workers, and he has not yet exactly extended , union recognition. He promised that {no one would be discharged for be- longing to the union and heard the union’s resolution protesting against overtime, He said of the resolution, “That's all right.” But he didn’t offer to do anything about it. The union was organized last month by a spontaneous gathering of N.R.A. workers who were restive under overtime extending to 14 hours a day in many cases, with no addi- tional pay. In general wages are meagre in the lower-grade jobs at NR.A. headquarters. About a dozen workers went to E. Claude Babcock, president of the American Federation of Government Employes (A. F, of L.) and secured a charter on November 11. They distributed leaflets calling a mass meeting. It was attended by about 250. They organized into N.R.A. Lodge No, 91. They adopted a res- olution stating that since many civil service employes are now unemployed, and since N.R.A. workers were being kept on. the job for intolerable hours, they demanded an end to overtime except in emergencies, and in that case time off to make up or regular overtime pay. Wholesale Lay-offs of N.R.A. Wholesale dismissals have been going on for some time in the N.R.A. Yesterday between 50 and 60 were dropped. Three of these were union members. However, when the per- sonnel division learned that the press had been informed of this, the union members were reinstated. A draft of the resolution was sent to Johnson. He referred it to Alvin Brown, assistant in charge of person- nel, who wrote to Babcock a response now famous among N.R.A. workers because it began with a familiar “Dear Claude” and said absolutely nothing about the demand. assumed a militant stand on every issue. They are making special ef- forts to draw in the Negro messen- gers and elevator operators. They increased their membership last week although systematic threats were being made by supervisors. It is said that the records of the local’s officers were checked up by the Department of Justice, is known that many supervisors ad- vised their subordinates not to go in. Johnson himself told the press re- cently that he hadn't “made up my mind” about the union. Also, he put the stenographers in the “steno- graphic pool” on a three-shift day, but without consulting the union or admitting its existence was a factor in the move. The union was given union met again and appointed the big delegation to see Johnson under specific directions to act altogether and see no one in place of Johnson. Draw in Negroes Despite their A. F. of L, affiliation the rank and file of the union have 8 Johnson Opposes Union N.R.A. Workers Formed wide publicity in the capitalist press, many administration supporters com- plaining against Johnson’s attitude, because it showed up the emptiness | of the N.R.A. promise of recognizing the right of collective bargaining. Babcock accompanied the union delegation yesterday and assumed an independent attitude in insisting upon | getting into Johnson's office with all the group. (Johnson first sent word that they’d better see Brown, and later sent word that he would see three members of the group). But when it was all over Babcock said that as far as he was concerned any- one, including bosses with authority to hire and fire, is eligible to the union. He said he considered John- son’s replies to questions satisfactory. Johnson Works Against Union “But if Johnson doesn’t do any- thing about overtime,” Babcock added, “we'll have to try again, and take up individual cases.” Johnson’s office assistant, Marion Tighe, gave her fellow workers some- thing to think about by stridently in- sisting that they should see someone else instead of the General and at the same time assuring everyone, ‘Tm an A, F. of L, secretaries’ union member and I’m in sympathy with | you.” The letter which Was read to John- son was from @ union member, re- porting that the assistant chief of his division had suggested that “it would be preferable for me to sever my connection With the union al- together.” Johnson heard it through, telephoned the official and told him, according to Babeock, “No one shall be discharged for being a member of the organization.” Which remains to be seen. Jail 9 of Striking Munson Line Crew BOSTON, Mass., Dec Dec. 13.—Nine of the crew of the Munson collier “Munrio” were arrested yesterday on the framed-up charge of “trespas-| ni sing” in an effort to break their militant strike for back wages. In an effort to get their wages, which had not been paid in some cases for two and a half months, the crew had gone to the marshal’s of- fice, where they were taken to the Ithaca Journai-News, 400 In Richmond Protest RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 13.—Four hundred Negro and white workers attended a Scottsboro protest and anti-lynch meeting in Sharon Bap- tist Church on Tuesday night which was called by the International La- bor Defense. ‘The meeting heard reports of dele- gates to the recent anti-lynching conference in Baltimore, and en- dorsed the calling of a local confer- ence for Jan. 1. The meeting also adopted resolu- tions demanding that the city gov- ernment grant a permit for the Hun- ger March on Dec. 23, against the Scottsboro convictions and Leipzig frame-up trial, and in protest against the arrest of Napier and Posby of the Richmond Unemployed Council.

E. Church here. Scotts- boro protest resolutions were adopted, as well as a resolution demanding the release of the two Negro youths, Wilbur Hardiman and James John- son, facing death in courts here for daring to defend themselves against a lynch mob. es, aes Massillon Workers Protest MASSILLON, Ohio, Dec. 13—De- office of a “shyster” lawyer who of- fered to get their pay for 20 per cent of all he collected. A delegation went to the crew of the “Munindies,” also in port, where they were told that lawyers would get them nowhere, and that the crew of the “Munindies” had won a strike on the same demand in Baltimore. As a result the strike was declared on Monday, the day after the ship had docked, the crew meanwhile telling the “shyster” that he was fired, Meanwhile the crew of the “Mun- indies” was ready to go out on strike to get their pay and to sup- port the demands of the Munrio crew, including a demand for the re- lease of those arrested. This forced the granting of the demands on the “Munindies,” After several attempts to get the men off the ship on one excuse after another, 30 cops from two police sta- tions boarded the ship and Hh abap uct nine of the crew. leased a short time after, ponds bee ing furnished by the I.

No hitches had developed and “Bolshe- vism” was used only once and that to squelch some recalcitrant western district which wantéd more territory allotted. Dan Ferris, Frederick Rubien and Charley Ornsstein—the latter manager of the hotel in which the convention was taking place—were, together with some of the other members of the Metropolitan Asso- ciation of the A.A.U. and Brundage, what is picaresquely referred to as “de woiks.” The show was run some- times smoothly, sometimes crudely, but always by these lads. Sheriff Haddock of Pitisburgh rose to disagree with Kirby. Judge Fla- herty of New Jersey and his honor- able colleague, Judge Hoyt of Con- necticut, also recorded their views. The debate waxed hotter and we leafed the pages of the printed me- morandum of the executives. Presi- dent Brundage’s report leaped to our eyes: “The future of the A.A.U, lies in promoting athletics in the play- grounds and in industry...The boys in the high school and colleges are well takeh care of...but the im- portant job is among those who do not have the benefit of scholastic and intercollegiate facilities.” Gustavus J. Kirby does his part, too. We read from this Brother Kir- by’s report: “Now more than ever must we of the A.A.U. see to if...that ex- perienced aid leaders are found to keep the minds of the unemployed from their troubles and destruc- tive activities.” ‘The gavel comes down. The dis- cussion is over and the metric sys- tem is officially adopted. The day is saved for god, cotiritry and sanction fees. I scramble out with the finan- cial report in my hand. The swaying subway’s monotony is relieved by the cheering information that Dan Ferris, Secretary-Treasurer of the A.A.U,, re- ceives $7,200 a year. e 8 I don’t know whether you'll call it symbolism or not, but I think it’s ex- tremely appropriate that Theodore Maki, an unemployed union carpen- ter and President of the Labor Sports Union, will open the convention of the organization that opposes that led by Avery Brundage, the wealthy Chicago building contractor. Theo- dore was running over the hills of Finland after work, while Brundage was tossing a hammer in a college stadium. Maki worked long and de- yotedly to build a workers’ sports movement in his own Suomi, trans- ferring his devotion to the infant American labor sports organization upon his emigration here. And—it must be stated in accents bold—Maki kept the faith when sports weren’t considered respectable among Amer- ican radicals, Scotty will be there, too, when Maki , brings the gavel down for the opening’ of the Sixth National Labor Sports Union Convention at the Harlem La- bor Temple on Saturday, December | 23. ‘That is, Scotty will be there, if| he can get the three days off.
