ANDY MELLON
IS SLATED TO
QUIT HIS POST
BOotlegging Secretary
Fears Expose
.remlin, Moscow.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-An-
drew Mellon, nicknamed "Whis-
ky" Secretary of the Treasury
because of his bootIegging deals
is about to resign on the plea
that he is sick" 1t is quite
likely he is. Things have hap
pened recently in Washington
that would have made anybody
minus cast iron stomach sick
that is anybody in the position
of Andrew Mellon.
Unless all signs fail, the graft in
vestigations which hopeful Doodle
hounds thought were about to take to
the tomb, are only now beginning to
produce the juicy scandal morsels
that all good Christians like to revel
in. The departure of Burns, from the
Department of Justice acted like the
opening of particularly filthy sewer.
Along with the escaping odor, Burns
sewer rats have come to the surface
and they are itching to squeal. The
higher the official to be polluted the
better they like it.
These All Getting Sick.
Mellon is big gun. Not alone
does he hold a big position, but he is
multimillionaire. He is rich pick
ings. His heart and soul were wrap
ped in his bonus bill. Both houses
of congress ripped the belly out of it
and Coolidge is afraid to veto it.
Therefore, Mellon is going to quit.
There has been talk in the senate
cloak rooms for ten days that Mel
lon is sick" of politics and his posi-
ton. Certainly senators who claim
to know Melons feeling, say that he
is anxious to return to his many bust
ness interests which have been ne
elected during his term of office.
The Last Straw.
II the president should choose to
sign a bill or if congress should pass
over his veto bill, which departs so
far from the Mellon theory of taxa
ton, these senator's believe it would
be "the last straw" and open the way
for MELONS resignation.
Chairman Smoot of the finance com
mittee, intends to get the conference
report before the senate today. II II
is adopted the house will pass upon II
tomorrow or Monday.

WORKERS TO
STRIKE JUNE |.
CIOakmGkers To Smash
Scab Contract EUiI
BY LUDWELL DENNY
Federated Press)

NEW YORK, May 23.-strike
machinery to tie up the New
York women's clothing industry
June I has been set in motion
by officials of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers union
following rejection of the
unions major demands by the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufact-
urer's Protective Association.
The strike was authorized by
the recent national convention
of the union in Boston.
Fifty thousand workers are
affected. Though only one of
the three employers organiza-
tons have finally rejected the
demands, two months negotia-
tions with the other two have
been fruitless, and the proposed
strike will by necessity affect
the entire market.
40-Hour Week Issue.
Five union demands turned down
follow: Forty-hour week instead of
A; guaranteed period of employment
(SS weeks year has been suggest
ed; unemployment insurance; mini
mum wages; union label.
The Protective Association consists
of the old time manufacturers, who
are now both manufacturers and job
bers. New developments in the in
dustry have taken most of the work
out of the hands of manufacturers,
who now farm out the jobs to about
5000 small contractors. The jobbers,
who are still the real though indirect
manufacturers, refuse responsibility
for conditions in the contract shops.
Most of the jobbers are in the Mer-
chants Ladies' Garment Association
The contractors form the American
Cloak and Suit Manufacturers Asso-
citation. At no time in the prolonged
negotiations have these organizations
accepted the unions demand for re-
forming the industry.
Jobber-sweat Shops Must Go.
That leach jobber employ only such
number of sub-manufacturers or con-
tractors as he can provide with work
to their full capacity" is at the heart
Of the unions demands. mo jobber
should engage new contractors as
long as those working for him are not
fully provided with work" Instead
of 5000 contractors in 5000 shops,
some employing only one or two work
ers, the union believes that order in
the industry and protection of the
workers depends upon reducing the
number of shops to responsible 500
or 1000. Fourteen operators would
be the minimum force for a contrac-
tor" In slow seasons all available
work shall be divided by the jobber
equally among all his contractors and
by each contractor equally among his
workers.
Must Guarantee Union Wages.
."The payment of wages and observ-
ance of union conditions Of work on
the part of the contractor shall be
guaranteed b. the jobber in the same
way as if such workers were en-
pIoyed by him directly" reads the
unions demand.
Managerial waste and heavy over
capitalization block reform in the in
dustry, union officials charge.

ton" have become synonymous at
the Illinois Miners Convention at
Peoria. They mean exactly the same
thing.
At the same time the words "vie-
tory" and frank and File" become
identical. They also mean the same
thing.
harrington was defeated In his ef-
fort to have Alex Howat repudIated
by the Illinois miners.
Harrington showed he was a
beaten and discredited man when he
drove the reporter of the DAILY
WORKER out of the convention, al
lowing the reporters of the yellow
capitalist press to remain.
harrington was completely routed
when his appointive power was
taken away from him; when his
"pIum tree" was cut down.
But that isn't all.
When harrington goes down to
defeat that means that reaction
thruout the whole Of the United
Mine Workers Union has suffered
a mortal blow.
A defeat for Frank Harrington,
president Of the Illinois Coal Min
ers, is a defeat for international
President John L. Lewis. It Is a
defeat for the erueifying yoke Of
standpatism turnout the entire or
ganization. Il is smash at the
mouIdy policies Of Sam Gompers in
the American Federation Of Labor.
The defeat Of harrington Is the
victory Of the rank and file, the
masses Of the miners union mem
bership who bear the heavy bur-
dens Of the struggle in the mining
industry.
The victory Of the rank and file at
Peoria, is victory for the rank and
file Of the whole miners union. 1t
is also a triumph for the masses Of
organized workers turnout the ma
ton, and an encouragement to the
backward, unorganized workers to
get into the trade union movement.
When the rank and file delegates
at Peoria struck at the appointive
power of President harrington, they
cut the roots Of the most criminal
practice in the American trade
union movement.
Thru the appointive power, thru
the shaking down Of pIums off the
official plum tree, the reactionary
regimes in the various international
unions, not only the United Mine
Workers Of America, have been able
to build up and perpetuate their Of
fetal machines and maintain them
selves in welI-niah perpetual power.
It is a practice that has held all
progress in the American labor
movement in strangle grip.
It is a practice that the Illinois
miners have valiantly decided to
put to an end. They have decided to
take power into their own hands.
iUCy nave ocCiuCu " IbtC w tVCiT
own organization.
The Illinois miners have again
smashed the plea Of the reaetiona-
ries that they cannot move faster
than the rank and file, that the
masses are slow to act.
harrington and Lewis have found
out at Peoria, and Fitzpatrick, in
Chicago, and Gompers, in Washing
ton, will hear about Il, that the llll-
nois miners are miles ahead Of their
officials.
Victory! And Again Victory!
Perches on the standards OF the
Illinois miners. They are conquer
ing the problems confronting them
within their organization. They will
conquer the big problems confront
ing them In their struggles with the
mine owners. They will conquer
the battling problems arising thru

More Evidence Gathered In Staying Of Ellis
 Thomas :.

GOODWATER, Ala, Dec. s.-(Spe- al.)-Ellis Thomas, who was shot and killed from ambush Friday night at Kellyton, was buried today at Union near Rockford in the community where he was reared.
 Later facts concerning the killing i'm dicate that the party firing the shot used a rung shell, the whole load of shot and some of the shell entering the body just below the right shoulder blade. Evidence at the point from which the shot was made indicate that the first shell that was rung was cut at the wrong place and the shot fell on the ground. Blood was found on a post at the corner of the store where the shot was made, and this mute tes- timony has been preserved.
 Doyle Niblett, who is in Rockford iail charged with the murder of Thom- as. was covered with blood on his face and head at the time he was arrested, it is said, as a result of a previous fight with Thomas that afternoon.

BRICK MAKERS
 UNABLE TO AGREE.
Petition To Replace Zone
 Ruling Nears Com- .t pletiOn

Brick manufacturers affected by the recent ruling of the interstate com merce commission are unable to agree among themselves on what proposal shall be made to that body in the petit ton for a rehearing, it was announced Monday by o. l.. Bum of the chamber of commerce.
 The petition already is drawn and it only remains to smooth out the differ cnces among manufacturers before the matter can be taken up with the com mission, according to MT. Bum. This action is being sought.
 The brick men recently were placed in three zones under the ruling of the commission, which created an inner, center and outer territory with corre- spending rates to Birmingham.
 Those manufacturers within the inner zone are hesitant about surrendering the advantage of their lower rate while those in the center zone declare they should be in the inner zone, MT. Bum says. Under the petition as originally drawn, the entire group would return to the old basis or group rating which was cents per hundred pounds from any of the plants to Birmingham. In the meanwhile the whole matter is be- ing held up awaiting adjustment of the matter among the manufacturers.

NEW NAME SOUGHT.
 FOR PARK BOARD
Deadlock Expected Over Smith
 Confirmation

Evidently convinced that the park hoard on Wednesday will deadlock over the confirmation of Prof. E. E. Smith as a member, some officials at the city hall Monday began casting about Tor another nominee.
 One commission member said the name of J. H. F. Mosely, editor of The Labor Advocate, had been suggested to him as the next nominee of the commis- sion.
 Commissioner W. l.. Harrison, who is an ex-officio member and chairman of the park board, was not willing to concede that another nominee would be necessary, tbus indicating he would make vigorous fight for Smith at Wednesdays session.
 Though H. P. Phillips and Elmer Thuston have given no indication of their intentions, the virtually unanimous belief prevails at the city hall that they will not vote for Prof. Smith.
