The newspaper scale negotiatigns | are now deadlocked, since the pub- lishers have not changed their orig- inal offer of 35 hours at $1.35 per hour. Instead, they have offered ar- | bitration. Having had a sample of arbitration of the newspaper scale last year, when ‘impartial fifth man,” Mr, Sault- sented Typographical Union No. 6 with a 10 per cent wage cut and the stagger system, the mem- bership is stubbornly refusing to have any phase of the proposed scale ar- bitrated. The deadlock has resulted in calling in Vice-President Baker, of the “Arbitration King,” Charles P. Howard. The Amalgamation Party is arous- | ing sentiment among the rank and file for a “vacation,” similar to the one which took place in 1919. A “va-| cation” means going out on strike | when the International unioa refuses | strike sanction, as was the case in 1919. Howard refused to sanction a strike last year and maneuvered No. ;6 into arbitration.

Elect Officers in ‘Hatters LocalToday , NEW YORK.—The member of Lo- cal 8 of the United Hatters of North America will vote for their union of- ficials for the coming year at elec- tions today. The present Humphreys | Jand Africk, are running for reelec- tion, although they have done noth- ing to improve conditions, have proven themselves incapable of organizing the unorganized shops and have tol- erated mistreatment of union men in officials, against the bosses. Another ticket is headed by Finger, chairman of the executive board, who, while charging | the officials with negligence, worked with the present officialdom and sup- | ports its policies, The United ticket is composed of rank and file members who are the jonly ones running on a constructive | program in the interests of the mem- , bers of the union. The candidates /on the United ticket are known to {the members as having fought wage cuts end for $8 a day; they also have fought for union conditions in the shops and exposed the national of- ficials ‘treachery, The United candidates point out that in the case of the two opposing tickets it is merely a case of running for jobs whereas their candidates want to lead the fight for better condi- tions for the workers.

Another important measure adopted in the constitution today was the granting of the right of local auto- nomy to each territory to carry on) activity under its own form of or- ganization.

W. A. was put |into operation. He said that the national figure for those employed without ficst being on relief projects jamounts to only 2,000,000, which | cuts Roosevelt's amount in half. He refused to give a definite | answer on the matter of registration of jobless needle workers at union headquarters, stating that he had | similar requests from a number of | unions and needs time for confer- | ® ences to decide the onaaead ‘Sharp Decline in Jobs and Payrolls Admits Mrs.Perkins (Continued from Page 1) | | Labor Secretary, “is estimated at 234,- | | 000 with an estimate 53,000 additional | | |in the non-manufacturing group. The | | decrease in payrolls is estimated to} represent a drop of approximately | | $7,300,000 in factory workers’ pay en: | velopes in November compared raR | weekly disbursements in October.” | Jobs Declined Under P.W.A. How the so-called $3,300,000,000 | public works program and the hun- dreds of milions given the railroads | | by the Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration have affected the mass of | workers is shown in Secretary Per- | kins’ employment report: “The | | transportation group reported a de- crease of 9.8 per cent in number of workers in November, the decrease of 11.8 per cent in employment in the automobile industry accounting large- ily for the pronounced decline. The | Shipbuilding industry reported a de- crease of 3.8 per cent.” The Perkins report unintentionally shows up the misleading ballyhoo | emitted day and night by the huge j | publicity machine of the National Re- covery Administration. The break- down of industries appended to her | statement shows that employment in | the iron and steel industry during No- vember, 1933, was 73.8 per cent as compared with 76.4 per cent in Octo- ber of the same year. The percentages are figured on the basis of a maxi- | | average. | Payrolls dropped from 49.5 per cent | in October to 43,6 in the follo | month. In a release issued on Dee, 16, only three days ago, the N.R.A. pointed with pride to the payroll in crease for October over Soptemher, re- | ported to the Blue Eagie by the Tron | and Steel Institute, the high sounding | mame for the: propaganda organ of | the big steel corporations and the steel industry code authority, Nothing was said about the November figures which were in the hands of the gov- ernment at that time, President Roosevelt himself in- dulged in the same baliyhoo. In a re- lease on the automobile industry dated Dec, 18, bearing his signature, the N.R.A. boasted of the effect on pro- duction and employment, but speaks only for the July-September period. One day later Miss Perkins announced that in this industry employment de- creased from 58.2 per cent in October to 51,3 for the following month, while payroll totals dropped from 42.2 per) cent to 36.3 per cent, Asked ‘to comment on the drop in| | union wage rates in 1933 as compared | with 1932, “shown in 60 out of 69) separate time-work trades by the Bu-| reau of Labor statistics in its 1933 sur- vey of union scales of wages and hours cf labor,” Secretary Perkins replied: “What's that?

R. A. stepped in, de- claring that the company union was established and the boss had the right to hire and fire anybody under the auto code open shop “merit | clause.” All past strikebreaking actions were approved by the executive order of Roosevelt. “All action heretofore taken by this board in the discharge of its functions is hereby approved and ratified,” said President Roose- velt. He then proceeds to extend these powers of the National Labor Board, to the extent of completely denying the workers all right to strike and organizing, as well as joining unions of their own choosing. To strengthen the power of the fascist National Labor Board, local or regional labor boards are ordered established with a so-called equal representation of “workers’ represen- tatives’ and employers. The Na- tional Labor Board is given full con- trol over these local boards, and has the right of making any decision for them it thinks fit. The National Labor Board furthermore is empow- ered: “To make rules and regula- ions governing its procedure and the discharge of its functions.” Drastic Action Against Strikes The main purpose of the new executive order is to stop, by the most drastic action of the govern- ment, which is definitely placed be- hind all the acts of the National La- bor Board, any new rise in the strike wave against the N. R. A. slave codes. Roosevelt’s decree says: “The powers and functions of said board (National Labor Board) shall be as follows: “To settle by mediation, concilia- tion or arbitration all controversies between employers and employes which tend to impede the purpose of the National Industrial Recovery Act.” By this order, all pretenses at so- {called collective bargaining are wiped out, and the moment the workers find their conditions unbearable and strike against the slave codes, the National Labor Board steps in and orders them to stop striking, dictating the terms. To back up these orders of the Na- tional Labor Board, Roosevelt de- clares the whole power of the Fed~ eral government—courts, police, army —are placed behind the board, Distort Real Meaning The canitalict press here, in try- ing to get the workers to accept the new executive order, interpret it as a threat against such bosses as those in the Weirton Steel Co. and the Budd Auto Body Manufacturilg Co. The A. F. of L. leaders, and the Socialist officials, as in the past, will undoubtedly attempt to make this new executive order appear as a new move to the “left” on the part of Roosevelt, and in the interest of the workers, when in reality it will be a means of attempting to crush the workers’ orgenizations and stemniny their struggles for higher wages and lower hours, and against the sky- rocketing rise in prices. But a reading of the order itself shows definitely it 1s intended to in- crease the suppressive power of the National Labor Board against strik- ers, and to insure the carrying through, of the slave codes no mat- ter how intolerable the conditions of the workers may become. Protest and Action Immediate protest and action of all workers is necessary against this new fascist order of Roosevelt. It is another blow directed against all workers, in all trade unions, to keep them from struggling while the pro- gram of lowering living standards and increasing the employers’ prof- ils gces on, Every trade union should adopt a protest resolution against this ne strikebreaking order. Especially the rank and file oppositions in the A. F. of L., whose leaders are on this Strikebreaking board, should take act‘on against this measure. Threatening all the workers, this executive order should be defeated by united action of the workers, de- manding the right to organize and strike, preparing for actions for higher wages, lower hours, and building their shop and union com- mittees to force through such action. | | It ER 20, 1933 ~—by del| CWA Man Faints from | Starvation Waiting for His Pay Check NEW YORK—A worker em- ployed at Dyker Beach Park, C.

Hundreds of Thousands Watch Spirited and militant from begin- ning to end, the marchers on this day of international working class protest against the Nazi Reichstag fire-trial frame up and threats against the lives of the four defend- ants, let hundreds of thousands of workers on the sidewalks of New York know that the militant American workers are determined that the Nazi butchers shall not slaughter the in- nocent defendants. Consul Sneaks Out A delegation of 40 was elected to present the workers’ protest to the Nazi Consul. But the police rushed to the doors of the Whitehall Build- ing, where the consulate is located, and would let only five in. When the Nazi Consul heard the delegation was on its way up to his office, he sneaked out the back door, down an- other elevator and virtually ran away. Police refused to let any reporters into the consulate to hear the work- ers’ protest and demand for release of the four framed-up fire-trial de- fendants. Protest Resolution “We thousands of workers, profes- sionals, intellectuals, in protest dem- onstration at the German Con- sulate, vehemently condemn the pro- posed execution of Torgler, and the death threats against Dimitroff, Taneff and Popoff by the Hitler Fas- cist government which you represent,” stated the resolution unanimously adopted and left with the Nazi lackey who met the delegation. The delegation was composed of Pauline Rogers, chairman of the New York Committee to Aid Victims of German Fascism; C. Blohm, of the Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit Society, representing 50,000 German workers in cultural and fraternal or- ganizations; M. Bruce, of the LL.D.; John Cole. of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, and A. Kaufman, of the International Workers Order. “In the name of hundreds of thou- sands of workers, we protest against | the attempted murder by the Fascist hangmen of the four innocent de- fendants in Leipzig,” said Comrade Rogers. “You were here before,” said the Consul’s lackey. “Will Come Again and Again” “Yes, and we are here in greater numbers than ever before, and will continue to come here in tens of thousands more until your Fascist butcher regime releases ovr com- rades,” replied Comrade, Rovers. Speaking for the Marine Workers, Comrade Cole said: “We are going to organize all marine workers to snatch these four brave Communists from the grasp of your bloody government.” Comrade Bloom, who was the next to protest against the frame-up, said: “In the name of 50,000 German work- ers we protest against the bloody Hit- ler regime, and demand the release of the four defendants in the Reich- stag fire trial. The guilty ones are the Fascist butchers of Germany. “The German workers in this coun- try are opposed to Hitler's regime, and will work against it until it is overthrown.” Call for Fight on U. S. Fascism A scowl spread over the face of the Nazi agents when they read the resolution stating: “The masterful defense made by Dimitroff, and the other defendants shattered the per- jured and framed up case of the Na- zis against these heroic fighters and foreéd even your Nazi prosecutor to declare their innocence.” The resolution concluded by de- manding the immediate release of the defendants, saying: “We call upon all workers and sym- pathizers to unite in the strugzle against the growing danger of Fas- cism in the United States and for the overthrow of the Hitler Fascist regime.” The delegation was greeted with thunderous applause and shouts when it came out and reported on its in- terview with the Nazi officials. As the demonstration came to an end the workers, spontaneously and without previous arrangement, swung into orderly ranks, and started a march through the waterfront district. Again the poiies rose to the oeca- sion end swung into’ action. Chief of Police O'Brien, flanked with police afoot and on horse, stood in front of the line and told the workers that since they had no permit they could not parade, With the red banner of the Ham- burg Workers Club inscribed with the slogan in German, “Workers of the World, Unite!” at the front, the work- ers, more than 3,090 strong swung down Hudson St, on the long march to Union Sq. Carrying banners denouncing the Hitler terror, demanding the safe and immediate release of the innocent victims of the Reichstag fire trial frame-up, demanding the release of the Scottsboro boys, the workers marched through the entire West Side waterfront. No police headed this spontaneous parade of the New York workers, and workers forced traffic to move to their wishes. At 14th St. the workers turned to march to Union Sq. Again traffic was halted while the workers took the city’s streets, Shouting slogans, the com- bikie ate vag eke took mand of the large stone band stand GPORTS Emotional Outlet IM BROWNING retained his nolent and thoughtful time and the Brothers Dusek among? others. | There was a well-cast opener involving Vic Christie and Stanley Pinto, It is the function of these cur- tain raisers to amuse without excit- ing, to coax the customers into the proper receptivity and to serve as foil for the more remarkable bouts to | come.

Pinto is one of the comic near- geniuses of the troupe, somewhat ob- vious but lapsing into moments of greatness, He has perfected a futility of gesture reminiscent of Chaplin and of sections in “The Modern Temper” | by Joseph Wood Krutch. His most successful routine which he employs in direct ratio to the size of the gallery is the throes of a sitting split hold. Legs entangled and forced apart, one by @ scissors, the other by a toe hold, Pinto sits on the canvas and his fea- tures contort in fear and suffering and puzzlement. The folds on his fleshy face mul- tiply and his mouth drops open as farsas the jaw will allow and his al mill about frantically. One of his fists pounds in despair on his own bald skull while the other hand flings upward with fingers stretched convulsively in the ap- peal for mercy of the dying retiarus. Christie, the secutor, lets up a bit and Pinto glances over the scene to see what ought to be done. He tries one leg, then another, he squirms and the despair gives place to puzziement, The hold holds and there is nothing to be done. Pinto sits back and mutters. Christie applies pressure again and the torturee responds frantically. So they alternate until the mirth of the crowd wanes and then Pinto leans over and secures an armlock he could have applied all along. The sitting split cracks open and they're on their feet again. Joe Humphreys comes up at the bell | and says it’s Christie's bout and Pinto beefs and fiings the towel at the announcer’s feet and picks it up and throws it down again and kicks it around and he’s boocd when he leaves the ring. Five hundred peo- ple in the arena become Christie fans and will show up at the next card which features him. * « * 'RNIE DUSEK specializes in rage.

Two hundred forty of the uninitiated nod to their neighbors wisely and say, “Wait till the main bout, you'll see some wrest~ ling.” Unexpectedly Ernie picks up the 302 pounds before him and slams with a crotch hold.
