HARRY jensen
IMPLICATED IN
BALLOT FRAUD
Vote of Local Switched f.,
Delegates Charge

Local No. 1886, Of the Carpenters
Union, voted against the proposed
agreement submitted to the inside or
milImen locals Of the United Broth
erhood in Chicago. This agreement
called for the acceptance Of the old
scale Of S1.t5 an hour while the rank
and file wanted the higher wage scale
secured by the the painters and other
sections Of the building trades.
When the officials of the district
council announced the tabulation of
votes at last Friday nights meeting
the delegates from Local 1886 were
amazed to hear that the secretary Of
their local had reported that the local
had voted for the s1.15 scale recon-
me4ded by Harry Jensen, president
of the district council.
Voted Against Low Scale.
The delegates promptly informed
Jensen that their local had voted
against the low wage scale as they de-
manded an agreement giving the mill
men as highsa scale as other sec
ton of the building trS Jensen
gruffly told them. that he had the re-
port of the secretary and would not
accept the statements of the delegates
as authoritative. Tho the secretary
Of Local 1885 was IN town, and it was
a quite easy task to get in touch with
him in order to set matters right
Jensen refused to consider any at
tempt at verification of the alleged re-
port Of the secretary, but declared
the low wage scale was carried.
They Are Suspicious.
The members Of Local 1856 are
wondering what kind of private
agreement Harry Jensen has with the
contractors. They cannot imagine
that he would be so insistent on re-
commenting low wage scale and aid
ing in conspiracy to switch votes
in order to put over that agreement
unless there was something in it for
him.
1t is possible es course, that Jen-
sen may be working for the contrac-
tors from y hoIgesE belief that what
is good for the bosses is good for
the workers and that the less the car
penters get for their labor, the more
the employers will have to spend on
their luxuries for themselves and
their numerous parasites. Perhaps
but not one carpenter in thousand
believes that Jensen's insistence ON
lower scale for the carpenters than
the painters are getting is done from
any other motive than one of self in
terest. In other words they believe
he is making his hay at their ex-
pense.

Yesterday Chiccolini talked to 500

LABOR Defense
ASKS FUNDS FOR
STRICKEN LABOR
Miners of the Storm
Area Need Aid

The condition of the thousands of
coal miners and other workers in the
storm devastated district of southern
Illinois, was taken up at the last reg
ular meeting or the Chicago Council
for Labor Defense and Relief, and the
several score of delegates from local
unions and working class fraternal
and political organizations responded
with enthusiasm.
The local secretary, VIM. F. Kruse,
pointed out that such catastrophes
were exploited by capitalist relief
agencies for anti-labor purposes, citing
the raid on the Japanese- unions under
cover of the earthquake, and similar
instances. This storm-swept area EN-
braced also some of the most militant
Of the miners union locals, and the
international Workers Aid was duty
bound to see to it that these militants
were not made to suffer by capitalist
discrimination. Working class relief
for working class needs has been
practiced extensively in Europe, and
recently the Dortmund mine disaster
was made an inspiring demonstration
of international solidarity.
Aid For Miners.
The storm that has just visited in
expressible suffering on large sec
ton of the union coal miners and
other workers in southern Illinois and
the adjecent fields, is likely to be
seized by the capitalist class to further
beat down the workers resistance and
destroy their union organization. This
danger is particularly present in
district such as this, which has been
at the forefront of militant struggle
against both the bosses and the labor
bureaucrats
The Chicago Council for Labor De-
Tense and Relief therefore calls on
the organized workers turnout the
state and nation to be on guard against
attempts to use the capitalist char
liable agencies to discriminate against
the more militant workers, and calls
for working class relief fund from
the labor movement thru the Interna-
tonal Workers Aid
Start Collections Immediately.
Plans were outlined Immediately to
take collections at dances given by
the Workers Party branches in Cicero
and on the south side, as well as on
Sunday gatherings of Russian, Jewish
and Italian workers.
Coal miners from the stricken area
will report on the needs of their dis
tricts and will canvass local unions
and other organizations to raise this
fund. All contributions should go to

WINNING STRIKE
IN BROOKLYN, NJ Y.
Militants Lead F g h t
Against Slavery
BY GIIward Schwartz.
Especial to The Daily Worker.)

BROOKLYN, N. Y, March 23.-The
retail grocery and dairy clerks of
Brooklyn are out on general strike.
On last Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock 500 clerks discarded their
badges of servility-the white coat
and apron, and donned the union
badge of struggle, consisting of strike
picket signs on their chests and backs
Police Fail to Cow Them.
These signs declared that they would
work no more for IL to Is hours a
day, but only nine hours, and that
SIS to s25 week will not be accepted
as a wage, but their demand for a $35
minimum to enable them to exc out an
existence must be granted by the
proprietors.
The interference of police and gang
sters did not affect their militant spirit
in the slightest. They declare they
will tie up Brooklyn in their fight to
unionize around these demands every
store in Brooklyn.
Many Settlements Made.
The first day of the strike brought
100 settlements with individual and
small chain store proprietors. The
organizer of the union, David Vacker,
says he cannot satisfy the demand for
settlements fast enough.
The strikers meet daily at the Of
flee of the union, 2O4 East Broadway,
New York City, and are being ad-
dressed by the leading members and
officers of the union, the largest per-
centage of whom are members of the
Workers (Communist) Party or the
Trade Union Educational League.

United Press Stcrs Correspondent
LONDON, England, March 20
Imagine a great silver cigar, about
TOO feet long, with displacement
OF some i've million cubic feet.
Then you will get some idea Of
the new air liner Great Britain is
building, said to compromise the
most revolutionary advance in the
whole history Of air navigation.
For this new dirigible will contain
the crew in the hull and the pas
sengers in the hull--there will be
no hanging gondolas or outside sa-
loons-the pilots window will be in
the nose.
This streamline body will extend
the cruising radius of the giant ship
by thousands Of miles, decrease its
fuel construction, and increase it's
speed to ninety miles an hour. Con-
struction has already started.
First news of the new airship was
given by the United Press in series
of mail articles some months ago.
The current announcement is made
possible by official information d.
vulged by the air ministry.
Build Two
The new ship will be one OF a
pair to be built. They will be called
.AR--e0 and R-101.
III bach Is about twice the size Of the
DAmerican Los Angeles. The new de-
sign is the work of Commander c..
D. Burney, NJ p. who Is in charge
OF the construction Of one Of the
ships. The Airship Guarantee Com
pany Is building It, with the air
ministry in close supervision
Commander Burney, In common
with many airship designers, real
lied that perfect streamline body
was the ideal in such construction.
He has been working toward this
ideal for many years. And now 1t
appears that 1t Is achieved.
Pilots, navigators, crew and pas
sengers viii be accommodated In the
actual body Of the craft. The only
projections below the airship will be
cars containing the engines, placed
far back.
The pilot and navigating officer,
instead of being located as at pres
emit, below the hull, will be in an
observation compartment In the
nose of the airsnip, curved windows
providing them with clear view.
All Inside
Passengers and crew viii occupy
the interior portion Of the airship,
an1idships, in tho space which has
hitherto been waste or utilized by
gas bags. T',om the sides a clear
view will be obtained through win
dows OF double glass.
This stmplifcation OF design"
says the official statement, "as
proved on behalf OF the company by
experiments in the National Physical
Laboratory, inswes a considerable
Rincrease in the range of flight. With
greater flight range. it will be pos
Sible to place bases Cor stops on the
nd-India-AustTiaia route at
