Pretty Girls Used
AS Lure In Latest
New York Swindle
Especial to The Daily worker)

NEW YORK. May S1.-Pretty dam
sells were used as come-on bait in one
of the latest confidence games oper-
ating in New York state.
A number of the ringleaders and
pawns in this confidence game have
been arrested and evidence which
they have divulged shows that over
1000 persons were cheated out of a
sum of at least S5,OOO,OOO.
Pretty girls were used to get house
holders to put their money into saw
ings bank left at their home. After
a number of weeks had elapsed these
girls would call at the homes of those
who had taken banks and take the
banks, open them, count out the
money, which often amounted to sew
eral hundred dollars, and give a worth
less stock certificate as a receipt.

Fidi Amici Club Bests
Pitt Lyceum in Debate

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 2S.-In the
debate between the Fidi Amici and
Pitt Lyceum teams, the Fidi Amici
Club, which upheld the affirmative on
the issue, Resolved: That the Negro
should join the American Negro Labor
Congress for the improvement Of their
economic conditions" proved con-
clusively that the Negro and the work
ing class had nothing in common with
the capitalist class and that the in
terest of the Negro is with the work
ers as a class.
The argument of the Pitt Lyceum
team, which upheld the negative, was
based on the old balderdash Of red
scare and that the American Negro
Lbaor Congress was Communistic.
After a long harangue along these
lines the Pitt Lyceum began to appeal
to the individual Negro declaring that
the Negro had all to lose by sticking
with the working class and had all to
win by acting the part OF strikebreaker
during strikes and by being faithful
TO his employer.
After the rebuttal two of the three
judges voted for the affirmative while
one voted for the negative. The meet
ing, which was attended by 500 young
Negroes, adjourned with three cheers
for the Affirmative.

PAINTERS FIGHT
FOR 5-DAY WEEK
IN CLEVELAND, 0.
Building Laborers Go
Back to Work

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 81 The
painters are still out for $1.371k
an hour and the 5-day week. The ma
jority are working for independent
contractors, while hundreds have left
the city.
The British settlement was dupli-
Gated in miniature in Cleveland when
5000 building laborers, on strike for
10 weeks and on the verge of victory,
were sent back to work without even
an agreement. Asking 81 an hour, the
laborers had tied up construction work
on the bigger jobs and had won their
demands from the independent con-
tractors. In retaliation, the building
interests closed down all supply
houses, thus forcing independent con-
tractors to stop work.
One Of the two local building trades
councils sent the men back to work
ito protect the public against neon
venience." The other council has called
for an investigation of suspicious cir
cumstances surrounding the settle
ment. The 1aborers union was not al
lowed to hold a meeting during the
entire strike, full control being vested
in officials from skilled crafts. ss
Gov. Donahey of Ohio had called for,
probe of the building supply con-
spiracy that refused to sell materials
to union contractors which precipi-
tated an investigation into the strike
by the local prosecutor. The union
walkout abruptly terminated. sr

Strike of the San )
Francisco Carpenters

SAN FRANCISCO. = OPP With
both sides eager for investigation, the
grand jury is examining the carpenter
strike in the bay district. The union
and the openshop Industrial Assn.
blame each other for the increasing
violence.
Union Favors Investigation.
1--WE favor an investigation of the
situation" said Norman Mclean of
the carpenters union. 1--WE never have
been able to find out under what guise
Blackjack Jerome and his guards
were brought into San Francisco to
intimidate union workers who are citi-
zens and taxpayers. The charges
that the unions have brought armed
men into San Francisco to aid them
are without foundation"
The independent Amalgamated So
ciety of Carpenters and Joiners has
entered the fray, claiming that this is
a jurisdictional dispute with the Bay
District Council of Carpenters.
Company Union Aids Bosses.
The strikers state that the Amalga-
mated is blue-card company union
and that it's charges are instigated by
the Industrial Assn. to stir up further
trouble. Policemen continue to guard
openshop jobs and to arrest union car
penters for picketing. In an address
to the Public Spirit Club, the manag-
ing director of the Industrial Assn,
Albert Boynton, blamed Judge Golden
for the disorder. Golden had said that
the imported strikebreakers should be
tarred and feathered and ridden out
