Hodson came out unexpectedly, flanked by four detectives, said “I’m sorry,” in cultured tones and rushed into the waiting elevator. The group of delegates hastened to City Hall to lay their demands in the “reform” to *|Mayor’s hands—with no success. The women stood their ground and finally Hodson saw them. He said: “I’m in favor of unemployment jimsurance. We can’t give the $7 cash relief on account of the Wick’s law, but I am trying to have this amend- ed. I’m not afraid of anybody. Please bear in mind that you can’t intimi- date me.” He ignored the request for ® public hearing. The unemployed women demand- ed: Cash relief of $7 a week; vacant public buildings to be used as homes for unemployed women; employees in such buildings to be paid standard union wages; all unemployed, home- less women to be given relief without delay, regardless of length of resi- dence in the city.

Appearing before a Senate Appro- priations Subcommittee, Green asked this group to give back to govern-} ment workers a ten per cent cut,! which the House carefully voted to! continue before the Roosevelt infla- | tion program was announced. With- | out uttering one word against the dollar devaluation program, Green said: “If dollars are to be worth less, | workers must earn more of them.” Helped Cut Wages The hypocrisy of that remark! should be well known to Green—for he sat in on many of the N.R.A, pro- rigidly fixed in N.R.A. codes, and, as & member of the National Labor | Board, participated in breaking strikes against low N.R.A. wages. Tako No Action Tn response to @ question, the pub- licity representatives of the A. F. of respondent that no action had been taken by the Federation on the Roose- velt program. It will be taken up, it! was said, at a meeting on Jan. 24, By that time the Roosevelt program probably will have been signed and sealed into law. Forced by Rank and File The appearance of Green and other | A. F. of L, officials against the pay- cuts was forced by a sharp move- ment in the rank and file of govern- ment-workers’ unions. They have been campaigning against the pay- cut, with the aid of local newspapers, ever since it was administered. Real hopes of winning the fight, however, evaporated when the House voted last week to restore 5 per cent, instead} of the full 15 per cent. The government's action in con- tinuing ten per cent of the pay-cut to its own employes will have strong influence as an example to private employers to hold wages down despite price increases. Green said that be- fore the government pay-cut, wage cuts reported to him were something } less than 800 every three months, and | that, afterward, the total rose to 2,300 in three months, Has your organization elected a delegate to the National Conven- tion Against Unemployment, in Washington, D, C,, Feb. 3?

The thought of the lowly jab with a piece of Ciceronian right cross was the retort necessary is not to say that the National Stu- dent League is to be converted intoa counry-wide school of pugilism, but on the other hand it is certainly not necessary for the boys to be a bunch of ultra-Christian other-cheek-turn- ers. Militant organization, based on @ correct program, which I believe the N. S, L. has, is certainly not hin- dered by the ability of the members of the organization, individually and collectively, to stand up for their rights against thugs, in and out of football uniform. ee ae o@ above comment was inspired by Jerry Arnold's letter, which we submit to you: “Dear Si: “Last spring, at the Columbia strike for the reinstatement of Don Hen- derson, the ‘gentlemen of the opposi- tion,’ as we called the egg-flinging, tomato-slinging, rib-crushing united | front of football, baseball, basketball teams, tried continually. to break up our protest meetings. They had a funny saying. They said they could! pick out any Henderson adherer by | his glasses, pale look, sickly com- plexion and short, skinny stature. “At the C. C. N.

O, T. C. Coe 8 « slander campaign against the National Student League, the militant organization that led these struggles of the students, is enirely unfounded. Not only is it untrue that we're ‘short and skinny in stature, with glasses and pale, sickly demeanor,’ but even those of us who happened to fit that de- scription gave a pretty good ac- count of themselves to judre from the ‘sickly’ appearance of those husky hired he-men of the college after the battle, “Well, we're putting an end once and for all to any whispering cam- paign to besmirch our fair figures. At the last district convention of the N.S. L. we voted to put athletics on our list of activities. And we're starting off on our right foot, I think, by forming a basketball team. We've already arranged for a game with Branch 40 of the International Workers’ Order Youth Section, the team that won the city I. W. ©. championship, you know. The game, which incidentally will be followed by a swell dance, will take place Satur- day, Feb. 3, at 8 pm., at the New York University School of Educa- tion Gym, Washington Square, one of the largest in the city. We're charging only 25 cents, which is cer- tainly within reach of all. “And we want to make it a real game! No spectacle of bony knees and sunken chests!

We were scheduled to play the Celtic Juniors, or something like that, and were standing around waiting for the op- posing team to show up.
