Big Cooper Union
Meeting Endorses
June II Conference
Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK, March 24.-The
Workers Party held a successful
meeting at Cooper Union with Joseph
Marley, National Secretary of the
Federated Farmer-Labor Party, Ben
Gitlow, J. C. Bentall, and Juliet Stuart
Poyntz as speakers, the oil scandal
was explained from the workers view
point, with the audience applauding.
It was pointed out that the whole
system of capitalism thriyes on swim
die, graft and corruption. The rea-
son some senators are pushing this in
vestigation, speakers pointed out, is
because the constituents that they
represent the middle class farmers of
the north and middle west who are
going bankrupt by the tens of thou
sands demand that they do something
TO relieve the desperate situation in
which these farmers find themselves.
Joseph Manley showed that the
scandal has opened the eyes Of many
workers and farmers and made plain
that the government is owned and
controlled by the capitalist class thru
It's politicians-the two old parties
that this year would see a Farmer
Labor Party in the field.
A resolution was adopted con.
demning the government as the too
Of big business and indorsing the june
18th convention at St. Paul, pledgins
to work for sending delegates to st
Paul.

CLOAKMAKERS'
. STRIKE IMPENDS
|. IN new YORK CITY
Union Demands Call for
Voice in Industry
tBy The Federated Prsss)

NEW YORK, March ga crucial
test Of strength is impending between
workers and employers in New York's
cloakmaking industries. Existing
agreements between the Union, on
the one hand, and manufacturers,
jobbers and contractors, on the other,
will expire in but a few weeks.
The workers organization has al
ready indicated the industrial re-
forms, the embodiment of which it
will demand in the new contracts
with employers. The Unions pro-
gram, comprising ten demands which
promise to become the crux of
grave struggle, will be discussed in
conferences to which the employers
have been invited by Morris Sigman,
president, international Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union.
The rejection of the Unions pro-
posals would drive the cloak trade in
this city to the verge Of a serious
crisis It is still possible that such
crisis may be averted. Otherwise,
New York's dress and cloak workers
may follow in the path of their Bos-
ton and Chicago comrades, and ac-
cept the employers challenge.
In a recent statement, Sigman out
lined the changes to be insisted upon
by the Union when the new agree
ments are drawn up. The unions de-
mands are:
Limitation of the jobber to spe-
cited number of contractors or SUBJ
manufacturers during each season;
minimal number of guaranteed
weeks labor each year; free access
for the Union to the employers rec
ords. in order to ensure fulfillment
of thu agreement; raising of the mini
mum wage scale and systematizing Of
wages turnout the industry de-
mand which implies the total elimina-
tion of piece-work and the computa-
ton of pay on the basis of the work
/ ing week; on the principle that 'the
industry owes to its workers living
all thru the year." the union demands
establishment of an insurance fund,
to which both jobbers and manufac-
turers would contribute, and from
which payment will be made to unem-
lployed or part-time workers during
the slack season; Redistribution Of
fnishers in the trade; enforcement of
disciplinary measures against employ
ers who violate the agreement; use
of the union label on every manufac-
Itured garment; opening of a labor
bureau by the union, upon which the
industry she'll draw for all its work
ers; establishment Of the 40-hour
week.
Peace or strife within New York's
cloak industry will depend upon the
employers attitude towards these ten
demands. Sigman has repeated his
wish that all subjects Of contention
shall be settled peaceably. The alter
native to such Cancellation is strug-
gle of the most serious character.

Brave Struggle
Against Fascist
By ELLA G. WOLFE
(Staf Correspondent Of Federated Pre-

MEXICO CITY, March 24.-The
Mexican farmer delegate to the
First World Peasant Congress held
in Moscow last year, was returning
to Vera Cruz just when the Fascist
rebellion broke out. He was warned
by cable not to land in that port,
but he did anyway. His was noble
work leading a large group Of
campesinos against the generals
serving the land owners.
His assistant, Rafael GARLIC, the
leader of the Communist Youth Of
Mexico, and a delegate to the last
Congress in Russia sent US the fol-
lowing letter from Vera Cruz:
"Since the beginning Of the Fascist
rebellion the activities of all work
ers groups ceased. All workers or
carnations without distinction Of
color or utilization, or theology were
suppressed. Under these conditions
the Communist group Of Vera Cruz
organized an illegal organization.
Secretly we provided the agrarian
forces under our Comrade Calvin,
with arms and ammunition"
The secretary Of the Communist
Youth, Guillermo Iira, was taken
prisoner by the rebels and hanged.
The peasant youth organizations
were dispersed and annihilated. Hun
dreds Of peasant leaders were cap
tured, tortured first, and hanged af-
forwards, and their bodies left to
the vultures."
Comrade Carrillo goes on mem
tioning other atrocities committed
against the workers and peasants,
by the tools Of the exploiting
classes. But all this brutality, all
this beastliness and injustice has
been branded deeply into the souls
and minds Of the workers Of Vera
Cruz, these workers that last year
were divided into several groupr,
strangling each other, are forming
united front. They are resolving
all their differences. A commission
has just been elected by 10000 Of
them TO draw up platform on
which they will unite in their
struggle against their exploiters. It
is a pity that the workers have to
pay 50. dearly for their education.

w. Mundelein, Of Chicago, became
Americas new cardinals Of the
Roman Catholic Church today. At
10 a. m. the pope convened the
secret consistory announcing the
elevation Of the American arch
bishops.
The reasons for the honors con-
ferred on the American bishops was
given by His Holiness in the allocu-
ton. The main point made by Pope
Plus was that the generosity of the
American Catholics entitled them TO
this special consideration.
His appeal for aid in behalf Of
the starving victims Of the Russian
famine was answered generously by
the American Catholics, he dec Jared.

Citizens Committee Strikes.
After outlining the work the COM
mittee did both in investigating vio-
lence in connection with the strike
and in attempting to bring about set
tlement of the issues involved, closes
by saying:
"The hub of the matter is this:
the Union insists upon recognition
and collective bargaining; the man
ufacturers are evidently opposed to
granting recognition and collective
bargaining. The Committee does
not see that it can now be of any
further service to the parties to the
struggle or. to the public, which, in
its opinion, has a most decided in
terest in the matter because it
pays practically all the bills, be
they what they may. The Commit
tee drops the matter, but expresses
the hope that the public will inform
itself with reference to issues so
that sooner or later better day
will dawn.-Frederic Siedenburg,

STRIKER ABOUT
Then Sullivan Finds She
Is Wrong Woman

Ray Cradle, dick attached to the
Office of States Attorney Grove
Yesterday tried to arrest Victoria
Cislakiecz on a "Dennis" Sullivan
attachment for contempt Of court.
The girl was in the hallway leading
to the So. Clark st. police court
when Cradle and another officer
came I'D to her and told her she
was wanted at Sullivan's court. Miss
Cislakiecz demanded to see the at
tachment and when it was shown
her said that the name on it was
not hers. Cradle and his friend told
her that didn't matter and tried to
yank her around. Victoria resisted.
Brutes In Action.
The fearless coppers who are
never afraid to try to maui up a
woman yanked the more. They tore
her coat and struck her and in the
scuffle her purse was lost. Finally
the coppers got her down stairs and
dragged her across the street and
literally picked her up and threw
her into an auto driven by Mr..
Dolinsky of the dress firm Of Katz
q Dollnsky.
When Victoria was taken into
Judge Sullivan's court she was a
wreck. Her coat was torn. Her
hat was off and her skirt was most
lv gone. The brave defenders of
the dignity of Judge Sullivan's court
had delivered their victim.
Was the Wrong Woman.
When Victoria's case was finally
called she was sworn and told the
Judge she was not the person named
in the attachment.
The Judge excused her. Did he
raise hell with the cops for max
ing blamed fool Of his court? He
did not. Did he say anything
about police making sure they had
the right person before they arrest
ed anyone? He did not.
The cops had brought in the
wrong person. That merely proved
to Dennie that they were industri-
Gus, hard working bulls who had the
best interests Of his court at heart
and did not give a fiddler's darr
