Churches Oppose
Spread of Birth
Control knowledge

NEW YORK, Jan. 27-Action against
the proposed amendment to the fed
eral penal code so that the dissemina-
ton of birth control literature will not
be illegal in the United States is to
be taken by the catholic and epis-
copal churches. The Birth Control
League is trying to have bill intro
duced which would permit physicians
to use the mails in giving scientific
birth control information by letter,
pamphlet or book.
National Catholic Welfare Council
Secretary John Burke is attempting
to get other churches on record as
opposed to the proposed legislation,
charging that the proposal 'is chal-
lenge to the patriotism of every true
American"
The Birth Control League holds that
1t is acting in the best interests of
the people of the country, particularly
for the good of workers. The social
and economic burden of too many chill
dren for the ability of parents to care
for them would be relieved by allow
ing physicians to mail scientific in.

HOOVER URGES
TRADE WAR ON
FOREIGN POWERS
Imperialist Spokesman
Calls for Boycott

Herbert Hoover, American secre-
tary of commerce, the ablest and most
outspoken imperialist in the Coolidge
cabinet, in the December issue of
Current History" threatens Great
Britain and others who have been
treading on American capitals toes
that America solemnly warns for
eign monopolists of raw materials"
not to hold them up for ''unreason-
able" profits on raw rubber and other
technical products. The article points
out that the United States spends an
nually $S00,000,000 for such technical
products as it cannot raise itself,
which, Hoover thinks, is "unreason-
able" to the extent of $500 1000, 900. He
complains particularly of the British
rubber monopoly, stating that it was
organized nominally only to hold pric-
es to 80 to 80 cents per pound
which would have given a return of
rs per cent on capital invested-and
now prices are above 81 per pound
with production still curtailed. The
United States uses three-fourths of
all the crude rubber produced in the
world.
A long list of possible reprisals are
suggested as open to the United
States, "the strongest nation on
EARTH" All of them reflect the full
consciousness of dollar-power with
which the dominant American impe-
rialist now speaks to his weaker col
leagues. The United States of Ameri-
ca might prohibit the extension of
credit to countries where such con-
trolls are maintained, suggests Hoo
yer, and it would organize the con-
suming (vassaD countries to cooper
ate in these campaigns. The United
States could retaliate in kind with its
supremacy in production of oil, cop
per and cotton, the latter clearly di-
rected at Great Britain, as also the
suggestion that Canada might do the,
same with it's nickel and asbestos.
Other provisions include reduction of
consumption, which was done with
coffee by 20 per cent last year, by in
ducing Americans to export capital
for rival production, and by organic
ing all buyers under a single purchas-
ing agency.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 81 - The
officials of International Hold Carriers
Building and Common Laborers' Union
of America Local No. $40 have made
application to the local courts for an
injunction restraining the progressives
within the union from making pro-
tests against the rottenness of their
actions.
A meeting of the progressive ele-
ments of Local No. $40 was called for
last Sunday afternoon 2.3O p. m. by
means of handful issued by the pro-
gressive committee. The handful
reads as follows:
Flight Dictatorship.
1.-THE time has arrived to call halt
to the dictatorial methods employed
in the management of our organiza-
ton.
1--WE are protesting against non
union men and women and members
of other organizations being given au-
thority over us, inasmuch as they
have levied assessments, raised our
dues, discontinued our meetings, ar
ranged for us foul-smelling, disease
germ-breeding quarters, and for fit
ting climax, men who do not even carry
card belonging to organized labor,
propose to deal with the employer and
agree as to what wages and working
conditions we shall receive for the
coming year, and all this without con-
sulting the membership. We are the
ones who pay the freight, and we are
the ones who are going to elect men
from our own ranks to represent us.
eve demand new headquarters,
regular meetings, an election of Off
GERS under strict control and super
vision Of our own membership.
"Mr. Laborer, come and register
your protest. You did it before, and if
we don't get fair deal, we will do it
again.
Progressive Committee"
On January 23 the day preceding
the meeting a copy of the petition for
injunction was served on Thomas Nc
Namara, a progressive member of the
union. Mcnamara stated Immediately
that this would not prevent him from
attending Sundays meeting as he
proposed to go there in violation of
the wishes of the officials of his union
About six o'clock that same evening
Mcnamara was arrested on a charge
of falsely misrepresenting a labor
union" He was taken to jail under
100000 bond. The local secretary of
the International Labor Defense, Carl
Hacker, when this matter was brought
to his attention Immediately got on
the job and Sunday at noon McNa-
mara was again out of Jail with the
proper bond furnished to effect his
release.
The case has been given to Attorney
Hermon E. Eisler, local lawyer, and
a real fight on both the arrest and the
injunction is predicted.
The International Labor Defense
stands ready to fight the case to the
finish.

BY Sylvan A. Pollack.
Especial to The Daily Worker)

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 81 The

Torrance by Abraham Lefkowitz of
the Teachers Union, who in a pitt
full manner denied the charge levelled
against him Of being a Communist.
Lefkowitz, locally known as a red

him at last, and treated as he has
treated others.

Lefkowitz, ambitious to rise not on
ly in local labor and political circles,
but also to obtain well-paid position
In the high school took an examina-
ton for assistant teacher in history,
and because he was not Immediately
assigned, he came before the Central
Trades and Labor Council meeting
complaining that he was not being
treated fairly, stating Aaron 1. Doty,
of the teachers council, had called
him a Communist Lefkowitz, who
paid little attention to the question
of obtaining a raise for the lowest
paid teachers in the schools, is now
taking up the time, of the Central
Trades and Labor Council with his
own personal affairs.
He declared: "They charge me
with being Communist. How anus
ing! who have always fought theml
Just because 1 spoke from the
same platform as William 2. Foster
during the steel strike they now use
that against me, without mentioning
that at that time Foster was the or

the representative of the former Cen
trail Federated Union. All the charg-
es against me are lies except that it

ed the meeting. He spoke on injunc-
lions in labor disputes, declaring that
he is going to introduce bill to pre-
vent injunctions being issued, Eek

Judge Thomas w. Churchill, of New
York, who is a member of the same
party as Assemblyman Hackenberg,
the democratic party, granted the In

junction against the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union after going
thru the procedure that the assembly
man now advocates as the remedy"
to prevent issuance of injunctions
against striking workers.

SHORT SKIRT IS
COED THEME

FORT WORTH, Tex. March 26.-
Coed skirt lengths became the SUBJ
ject of intercollegiate discussion in
North Texas recently, when the
matron OF Southern Methodist Uni
versity in Dallas requested that the
| girls dormitory now under con-
struction be generously equipped
with full-length mirrors.
"I want the girls to have ample
opportunity to see themselves so
that their skirts win be below in
stead of above their knees" she
said.
Mrs. Said T. Beckham. dean of
women at Texas Christian Univer-
sity, in Fort Worth, agrees that
knees should be covered, but also
advocates the short skirt.
''On class rush day recently,
when the upper classmen forced the
freshmen girls to appear on the
dresses offered up a little prayer
OF thankfulness that the popularity
Of the long skirt is a thing OF the
past" Mrs Beckham said.
The old songs about They're Wear
ing Them Higher in. Hawaii,
They're Going Up, Going Up Every
Day seem particularly applicable
at the present time.
And the mode is by no means
confined to college girls, a recent
style revue sponsored by local mer-
chants was featured by brevity of
skirt
Evening models were particularly
skinny. Probably the most start
ling style note was that OF the un-
even skirt length in bouffant dance
frocks.
The gowns are fashioned of tat
feta, fall exactly to the knees In
front, rise a little above the knees
on the sides and drop almost to
the ankles in the back.
Il see that pink is going to be
good color this spring" a male
spectator at the revue remarked.
Meaning, OF course, that the term
"unmentionables" is passe while
present styles prevail.
