HEARING ELECTS
STRANGE EXCUSES
FOR CONTRACTORS
"Ma ster Mechanic" Is
Plea for Parasite
Especial to Tho Daily worker)

NEW YORK CITY, April 22.-The
Bub-manufacturers the little contrac-
torss, who are parasites on the cloth
ing industry and who add nothing to
the value Of the product, existing sole
ly by getting the cloth, already cut,
from the jobbers and rushing about
hiring workers as cheaply as possible
to make 1t UP, and thus pocketing a
part Of the profits without contribut-
ing single useful function, are MAX
ing some unique pleas for their ex-
Astence before the commission ap-
pointed by Governor Smith to inves-
tigate the clothing industry.
Master Mechanic" at Exploiting
Workers.
A manager of such q sub-contractor,
one Mr.. UviIler, had the gall to claim
that the sub-manufacturer should be
permitted to pirate on the workers
thus. because he was a master me-
chanic." The fact is that all the me-
chanical ability required for these con-
tractors, is a smooth line Of talk In
haggling downward the price he pays
the workers, often sweatshop work
ers, for doing the work which no
turns over to the jobber and gets the
full price for.
The sub-manufacturer, however, had
a grievance against the jobber. While
he thinks 1t is perfectly all right for
the sub-contractor to make the work
ers actually bid against each other to
get the work for him, the sub-con-
tractors feel a righteous indignation
against the jobber. Mr.. Uviller asked
the commission to assist In doing
away with the auction" system in
which jobbers pitted contractor
against contractor in an attempt to
lower the price Of their work" on the
garments.
Bosses Want no Employment Guar
antee.
The manufacturers attacked the de-
mand Of the union for a guaranteed
period of employment per season, and
attacked any regulation as artificial
tampering which would bring serious
harm to the industry"
The commission is near the end of
its hearings, and may issue a prelim-
mary statement of its findings soon,
to be followed by later complete re-
port.

Imperialist Puppets
of Guatemala Want
To Kill Organizers
Especial to The Daily Worker,

MEXICO CITY, April 22.-Labor
leaders sent from Mexico to Guate-
mala for the purpose of organizing
labor unions have been denied ad-
mission by the Guatemalan authori-
ties, according to information. Two
are being held prisoners aboard ship
at Puerto Barroios, the advices said.
Guatemalan officials under the re-
gime of bribery and terrorism of the
imperialist interests of the United
States, have expressed the determina-
ton not to permit the formation of
labor organizations in their country,
and the death penalty will be applied
to all who seek to stir up the working
classes. ~rtt

WHITE RUSSIANS
IN POLAND ASK
END OF TORTURE
Resolution on T error
Argued In Sejm
especial to The Daily wOrksrI

VIENNA, April 22.-The following
news arrived from Warsaw. In the
last session Of the sejm the White
Russian fraction presented a motion
dealing with the maltreatment Of
White Russian peasants in the from
tier districts. Among the arguments
for the 4iotion there were descriptions
of quite a number of cases Of most
serious maltreatment. A peasant has
died from the consequences Of this
maltreatment on his body, So serious
wounds were found.
In another case an officer and a
sergeant of the frontier guard have
maltreated the teacher Begansh and
his sister. The teacher was complete
ly undressed and beaten with iron
sticks. His sister was tortured in a
terrible fashion. Pins were put under
her nails in order to force her to
make false confessions. Despite these
tortures Beganski refused to sign the
minutes. The sergeant finally drag
ged the only half-conseious teacher
to the table and led his hand, thus
forcing him to write down his sigma
ture, but still against his will.
In their motion the White Russian
fraction demand the immediate ap-
pointment of a commission Of inves-
tigation for the maltreatment Of the
peasants in the Polish White Russia,
and they demand from the govern
ment measures which will make such
tortures impossible in future.
1t is naturally an illusion to demand
from the democratic" government of
white Poland that it should abolish
the maltreatment which takes place
on its own instruction and is carried
out by officials who have been sys-
tematically melted against the White
Russian peasants.

Hall That Saw Hitler
Beer Barrel Revolt,
Hears Thaelrnann Talk
BY CARL sRANNIN.

MUNICH, Germany-FP)-In the
same enormous beer hall here where
the Hitler-Ludendorff putsch was
launched and as quickly squelced
nearly two years ago, E. Thaelmann,
Communist member of the reichstag,
spoke on behalf of his candidacy for
the presidency of Germany. More
than 1000 working men and women
came to hear an exposition of the
Communist program.
Thaelmann, sturdy working man
above average height, began by re-
cital Of the massacre of nine Com
munists at the Halle meeting. The
speaker also told Of the arrest of him.
self and A other Communists in a
conference near Stuttgart. All were
released except two citizens of Ba-
varia held on a charge of attempted
high treason"
In discussing the Dawes reparations
plan Thaelmann reminded his hearers
that all the loans from American
financiers would have to be repaid.
The speaker appealed to his hearers
to vote the Communist ticket as a
symbol of the coming dictatorship of
the 80 per cent workers and peasants
over the 10 per cent of parasites.
Thaelmann is 38 and belongs to the
Transport Workers Federation of
Hamburg. The Catholic politician
Wilhelm Marx and the aged Won Hin
denburg are the principal contenders
in the election April rs.

BIG N. Y.5THRONG
FIGHTS RELIGION
IN THE;SCHOOLS
Protest imprisonment of
Soldiers in Hawaii

NEW YORK, April 22.-one Of the
most enthusiastic meetings ever held
here by the militant workers was the
meeting held Friday, April II, at Stuy.
vesant Casino, called to protest
against the introduction of religious
training in the schools and against
the Imprisonment of the members of
the United States army stationed at
Honolulu for the only reason that they
are Communists, and for the further
crime that they tried to organize the
natives Of Hawaii. The meeting con-
sisted Of 80 per cent young workers
and children Of school age.
The meeting was opened with the
singing Of the International, mem
Der of the Junior section providing
the music. Then the chairman, Com
rade Jack Statchel, the district organ
izer Of the Young Workers League of
District 2, stated the purpose of the
meeting and introduced Comrade Her
bert Fam as the first speaker. Com.
rade Fam pointed out that out Of
100000 school children in this city
$50, 900 attend parochial schools where
religious instruction is part of the
curriculum, and about $4,000 more at.
tend Sunday schools. He pointed out
that not only must we fight against re-
ligious instruction in the schools, but
also the religious propaganda that is
being spread thru clubs, movies, etc.
Then Comrade Motel Gertner spoke in
Jewish. He gave brief history Of re-
ligion and how 1t was used by every
ruling class to keep the oppressed in
enslavement.
Great applause greeted the appear
ance of Morris Spector, city organizer
Of the Junior section. He began with
a description Of how religion is actu-
ally being taught in the schools. In
the assemblies the reading of the bible
is universal. The children are given
the choice Of going to some religious
school or to stay in the public school
and perform the most arduous and un-
pleasant tasks. IN many Of the other
schools religious training is given
directly In the class rooms. He con-
cluded by an appeal to the workers
present to join the Workers Party, the
Young Workers league and send their
children to the Junior section.
Comrade Darcy spoke at length
about the Hawaiian Communists who
were given terms Of Imprisonment.
Already we see that in the army, the
very heart of capitalism, soldiers are
organizing under the leadership of the
Communist International and are or
ganizing the natives against American
and world imperialism. This, he said,
is happy moment in the history of
our movement. Everywhere the work
ers are organizing under the banner
of the Communist International and
will overthrow the capitalist system
and in its place erect a Communist
order Of society. IL
A resolution pledging fight against
religious training in the schools, and
another resolution. demanding the i'm
mediate release Of Comrades Crouch,
Trumbull and the other six indicted
Communist of the U. S. army station
ed in Hawaii was adopted unanimous
ly. rsig
