The injunction demands that the vcnion “be declared and adjudged an sunlawtul: combination and conspir- acy” and demands that the Cafeteria} Workers Union “be dissolved and en- joined permanently from functioning | as a unior These demands are| made almost exclusively on political Brounds, with dozens of statements| that “the Cafeteria Workers Union,| is ahighly Communistic organiza-| tion.” * Appended to the injunction are 34 quotations from Wm. Z. Foster’s book « “Towards Soviet America,” which is sited as evidence that the union is} @ “Communist union.” | The constitution of the Food Work ers Industrial Union states that any worker in the food industry is eligible for membership, irrespective of race, | creed or political affiliation. Eight food workers were arrested Tuesday, although the injunction has not yet been granted. All were held under $100 bail, except Philip Miller,| who was held on an additional frame. ‘up charge of ‘malicious mischief.” News Code Centers GreaterPressPower InRoosevelt’sHands, Wage Levels Held Down| To Starvation Point; | 12-Hr. Day for Boys | NEW. YORK.—A newspaper code that greatly strengthens the hand of| the capitalist press supporting Roose-| velt, drawing the whole gigantic ma- ehinery of newspaper publica‘ion Closer to control of big bankers, and the war moneers. was approved Mon- day in an executive order issued by «President Roosevelt. » Some of the Republican news- papers, who still criticize Roosevelt's » Methods of sharing the booty wrung out of the workers among the various | groups of capitalists, sharply criticize | the code because it gives their com-| , petitors greater power. With greater government super- vision over the press, the road is open , for a smashing drive against the _ Yevolutionary and working class press, which wiil be used by Roosevelt dur- ing any sharp crisis or at the time of strikes. ‘The code itself, so far as wages and hours are concerned, provides “he following: In cities of 750,000 popu- tion or more, on papers of a circu- .Jation above 75,000, a 40-hour, five- day week shall prevail for newspaper men, with a minimum wage rate of from $11 to $15 a week, and 40 cents “an hour for mechanical and printing} “departments. In cities between 25,000 “ and 50.000, hours are 44 per week; in ler cities, 48 hours. ‘Mechanical and printing depart- “ments of the newspapers are allowed a longer week, “depending on the supply of skilled help.” This leaves the bosses a wide latitude on hours.

Leaving the reception room, little Leonard Sirota, eight-year-old red-| headed member of the Young Pio-| neers, who had earlier demanded that Post see to it that wooden stairs were replaced by metal ones and that fire escapes be built on other ld tenements, made a parting “emark: “Remember what we told| you, Commissioner!” he said | Rejoining the others outside, Vera.

Scandal | Woodring Negotiated| With Grafter of “Var Dept. Supplies WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, — Parti- pation of Harry M. Woodring, assist- ant secretary of war in a War De- partment graft scandal that began brought out through the testimony of Frederick H. Payne, assistant secretary of war in the Hoover ad- ministration, during the course of the) hearings yesterday at grand jury in- vestigations here. Hoover regime, one, Joseph Silver- man of New York purchased 700,000 suits of underwear from the War De- partment at 14 and a half cents each, with the proviso that they were not to be sold in the United States. When Roosevelt, came to office, assistant Secretary of War Wood- | ting changed the contract to read 15 and thre-eighth cents a piece for the underwear and permission to re- sell in the United States. Information before the grand jury was to the effect that Payne inter- ceded with Mr. Woodring for permis- | sion for Silverman to sell the under- wear in the United States, This is but one of a series of graft scandals in the War Department now} | being uncovered. | Make Up Many Rules | | To Entrap Workers of | CWA Into Being Fired | — !

I noticed that the man who had the most popular appeal usually won the bout and, if it went to the time limit, the best showman always got away with a draw. Then comes the booing and hissing and ap- Plause. You always get this nomat- ter what happens. From the spectators’ standpoint, I gathered from talking with some that they know the wrestling racket, tainted with the highest kind of commercialism, is fishy; yet they come and come for more. What they come to see is a broken bone, a superhuman physical con- tortion, or some blood spilled. When they can’t see the facial ex- | |Pressions of prolonged aaaah’s and | widemouthed oooooh’s they begin to yell for the pain collector to turn around so they can get in on the fun. It would be just too bad if one of the wrestlers with a strong case of halitosis would let fly one of his breath spells. Woes brings to mind a little story an old wrestler friend of mine who attended Northwestern Univer- sity. While at college, Bob Miller was the Conference and intercol- legiate champion. Weighing only 175 pounds, he turned pro immediately after finishing three years of school so that he could make enough money to go to law school. He had fought his way through university, getting his hands broken, his face mashed and his ears cauliflowered. So he turned pro, studied the showmanship of the plushroped ring and made a hit, The first time I saw him wrestle, he just carried away the fans with his brilliant dis- play of acting. He turned a dull evening into a boisterous gala. He tried flying tackles, hurtling his body through the air with the pur- pose of encircling the victim around the head with his legs. He missed once, twice. He flew out of the ropes. He connected. He pinned his opponent, The crowd went crazy. Then he thought he'd try his for- tune in California. The wresiling bug got him. Law school was for- gotten. He was hoping, with his popularity, to knock off thousands of dollars a bout instead of the measly 15- or 25 bucks. . UT there he learned what profes- sional wrestling, with its clique: was like. It was kind of tough, but- | subs I just got. @ little later. | I am enclosing money for two new Will get more subs A. K. ting the Lewis-Sandow or the Jeem | DR. JULIUS LITTINSKY |) He found out | Soon enough that he had to take | instructions or he wouldn’t get a bout. This kind of burned him up because in wrestling workouts— without the groans and grunts— he’d take on the topknotchers like Abe Coleman and Nick Lutze and give them a ride for a while before | Pinning them. He knew he could beat these | guys in spite of his fifive-foot-Ive size and his meagre 180 pounds (he got heavier by this time). And yet he was matched with chumps and sometimes he’d have to lay down for them. When I saw him in Les Angeles he said, “Thell. with these guys. I'll be my own matchmaker. ll beat these champs—and there are plenty of | them. Everybody seems to be a | champion—if it’s the last thing T ever do. Then Vil quit and finish my schooling.” But he didn’t know he was get- ting punch drunk from headloc! | and body crushes, And soon he be- came known as the half-mad wrass- Jer. He took me down to see him wrestle once and he did everything undr the sun for notoriety. He jumped around the ring, kicked the referee's buttocks, made his flying Jed tackles function and made faces at the crowd. One time when Jim Londos was | Wrestling in Los Angeles, Bob went | down to the stadium.
