He had been promised, | too, both by Postmaster General | Brown and Assistant Postmaster Gen-| eral Glover that he would receive a| contract if he stopped trying to pre-| vent Congress from passing the Mc- Nary-Watres Bill. So Halliburton did | se and the bill was enacted. But} hen he was informed by his own| epresentat that Brown andj Glover had decided Halliburton had | better sell out to the Aviation Cor- | | poration. | “Did Glover tell you, ‘T’ll ruin you. | u've tried to block this thing (the| yer) all the way through’?” Sen-} ator Black asked Halliburton, | I had so many conferences I can’t {remember in which conference it came out,” Halliburton said. Later explained that he had been ad- sed by W. G. Skelly, Republican onal Committeeman of Okla- homa, and one of Halliburton’s stockholders, that he’d better sell out to Transcontinental Air Transport. It was then Halliburton sent Skelly the following telegram, which was read into the record: “I do not intend to m with or become connected Q or as- sociated with T. A. T. who prostituted he names of Lindberg and Earheart to the general public and then asked the taxpayers to pay for such pros- | titution. If you care to sell your stock to T. A. T. I have no objec-| tion.” Halliburton reported that Brown and Glover, by refusing to grant him x the promised contract, did finally force him to sell out to the Aviation | Corporation. He sold equipment | which he himself valued at from 5700,000 to $800,000 for $1,400,000. Halliburton’s merging was but one| | part of a tremendous series of war Preparation mergers which resulted |in a complete domination of the do- mestic field by the Aviation Corpora- tion, the United Aircraft and Trans- port, and the North American Co! pany, holding companies.

Encouraged by the Boot and Shoe Union, the bosses of this shop broke their agreement with the Industrial Union and locked out the workers after announcing the cut. The Boot & Shoe Workers Union was the chief aid to the boss in plan- ning this lockout. For the past two weeks the scab agents of the defunct Boot & Shoe Union have been recruit- ing scabs in anticipation of the pre- sent situation. ‘The strike is one-hundred per cent backed by the entire crew. Picketing is going on in spite of terrorism. A group of professional scabs with knives attacked a picketing demon- stration last night, but were defeated by the workers. Police arrested Julius Crane, union organizer on frame-up charges of third degree assault. He was arrested Several blocks away from the scene of the mellee. In spite of his denial that he was present, he was dragged to the police station and booked. He is out on $200 bail awaiting trial. | Two more workers have been ar-| rested today on frame-up charges and | are also out on bail awaiting trial.

Clark, who was secretary to President Coolidge and is now a lawyer-lobbyist, also represented Halliburton—and he told the com- mittee he went to Patrick Hurley, Hoover's secretary of war, about his client “when it looked Halliburton would be frozen out.” King testified that another associ- ate of his and Halliburton’s, a Ford motor engineer who had sold planes to Halliburton, went to President Hoover “several times” to talk over a contract for Halliburton, and that Hurley reported he had “mentioned it several times” to Hoover. At one point Senator Black asked King, “This was at the time the airmail map was being divided and the ques- tion was who would get what?” (In airmail contract subsidies from the Post Office Department.) King said it was.

R. A. against the militant shoe strikers, workers in several shops remained out on strike, convinced they could gain no benefits through the N. R. A. Three hundred workers in the Meyer Broth- ers, Bressler and Chatham shoe shops, are now in the 25th week of their strike with their ranks intact. A number of the Board of Trade shops settled on the shop committee basis at the time of the N. R. A, decision. In a few shops the work- ers went back expecting the N. R. A. decision, against discrimination and for the right to choose their union, to be carried out. The bosses never lived up to this decision and are attempting to force the scab Boot and Shoe Union of the A, F. of L, on the workers. The workers of the Meyer Brothers, Bressler and Chatham Shoe shop were not fooled by N. R. A. promises. ‘When the Paris Shoe Co. moyed to New York and changed its name to the Chatham Shoe Co., in order to avoid dealing with the shop commit- tee of the Industrial Union with which the firm had an.agreement, a picket line was established at the new shop. The crew had fought against wage cuts. They remain as determined in their strike as in the shop against the lowering of their union conditions, Shoe workers are urged to help the strikers in their heroic fight. Furniture Union Calls Strike in A. F. L. Shop After Officials Refuse NEW YORK.—When A. F. of b. workers came to the offices of the Furniture Workers’ Industrial Union and asked for guidance in calling a strike against a wage cut at their shop, the Livingston Parlor Suite Co, 1900 Sterling Pl., Brooklyn, the strike was called. Before this, the workers had ap- pealed to the A. F. of L. to call a strike against the introduction of piece work in their shop in viola- tion of the agreement with Local 76 and against the discharge of a union worker. Both times the A. F. of L, stalled off their demand for a strike, Strike on Pay Cuts Officials Made Secret Deal With Bosses HAVERHILL, Mass., Jan. 9—The District Council of the Shoe Work- ers’ Protective Union, now part of the United Shoe and Leather Work- ers’ Union, voted to sanction a strike at the Holtz and Goldberg shops against a wage cut. The bosses, without announcing a cut, deducted |the amount from the workers’ pay envelopes. The strike which will in- volve about 400 workers is scheduled to be called unless the bosses meet the demand of the workers to re- turn the stolen money. In the discussion at the district council meeting, it was revealed that District Agent Keleher had a secret understanding with the manufactur- ers in regard to cutting the workers’ wages by the trick of paying the workers on the 2nd grade price list, although they were working on a first grade shoe. Keleher failed to appear at the Council meeting to answer charges preferred by Joe Costello of Local 13, at a mass meeting held last week, when Keleher called police to prevent the workers from hearing the final plans for amalgamation from the coordinating committee. Costello, militant worker demanded that the Council arrange a mass hearing to try Keleher on the charge of disrupting the membership meet- ing, calling police and blocking amalgamation. The hearing is to be held tonight at the Protective Building. A motion was adopted that Keleher pay the police ous if his own pocket, or that it be docked from his pay, More than 150 workers attended the Council meeting to see that the Council acted on their demands, and offered them no assistance. Three other strikes are now being conducted by the Industrial Union at the Schuff Upholstery Co,, 34 Frank- lyn St., Brooklyn, Chase Upholstery Co., at 108 Amity St., Flushing, L. I. and the Central Bedding Co,, at 160 Monroe St., N. ¥.

Demonstration (Continued from Page 1) fendants may be ‘tried’ under new charges, if not taken out and lynched by storm troopers,” German Workers Fight Asked by a Daily Worker reporter about the fighting spirit of the Ger- man masses, Baer, the militant sea- man whose speech is expected to be the central feature of tonight’s Cen- tral Opera House demonstration, re- plied: “The German workers by no means accept Hitler. While out- wardly they may show few signs of real feelings, privately they are al- most unanimous in their hatred of ‘Der Fuhrer’ and his Nazi bands, Leaflets are constantly being dis- tributed. Only the other week anti- fascist leaflets flooded the street from the top of Bamberger’s de- parment store in Hamburg. In the same city the harbor workers re- fused to obey the order that Nazi cells be organized within their own ranks, “The ‘order and support’ of the Hitler regime is only on the surface. Actually there is little or no volun- tary support of the Nazi regime among the working class. When a demonstration is called which one is not compelled to attend, it is al- most always a fiasco. The demon- stration on the Bremen Green called by the Nazis was typical. Only 2,000 people showed up, few of whom were workers.” Broad United Front Anti-fascists from many organiza- ons will address the demonstration. Among those who will speak are An- nie Gray, director of the Woman's Peace Society; Otto Sattler, editor of Solidaritaet, organ of the Work- men’s Sick and Death Benefit So- ciety; William L. Patterson, national secretary of the International Labor Defense; Alfred Wagenknecht, secre- tary of the National Committee to Aid the Victims of German Fascism, and Pauline Rogers, local secretary of the same organization.
