ENCOURAGING Report

Continued from Page Ons)
The fact that the reactionary Of
ficials had just expelled them all
over again on Wednesday night was
not even seriously considered by the
workers. They discussed only the
work of the union, and what must
be done to protect the workers
against the attacks of the reaction
airy International officials, and to
maintain union conditions in the
shops.
Right Wing Fails.
II was meeting full of enthusiasm
and determination, and a dramatic
contrast to a meet which the right
wing attempted to call "for nomin-
alton of officers" last week, where
it is reported that 992 people APP
peared, and even in that number
there were only hasdful of dress
makers.
The chairman Of last nights meet
ing was Rose Wortis, and the speak
ers were Louis Hyman, general
manager Of the Joint Board of the
cloak and dressmakers, julius Port
noy, manager of Local %; I. Weiss
berg and II. Koretz.

Shoe WORKERS ON
STRIKE AGAINST
The OPEN SHOP
Demand Agreement Be-
fore Returning to Work

A strike has been called by the
Shoe Workers Protective Union
against the e. & w. Shoe Co., at
AL Blake Street, Brooklyn, because
the company refused to sign an agree
ment with the union. The eighty en-
ployes Of that shop, all union men,
have come out on strike and are
maintaining solid picket line. No
seals have yet come near the estab-
lishment and the men are certain of
their victory.
Some time ago the bosses stated
they would be willing to sign agree
ments, but postponed action thereon.
In the meantime a speed-up system
was adopted to finish up all the con-
tracts on hand so that a strike would
not hurt them. When the union on
March 1, demanded action the bosses
stated that the workers were not do
ing their work in the proper manner
and that the wages were too high.
Yet when she threat for a strike was
made the bosses promised to continue
the union scale of wage, but that they
would not sign agreements.
The workers knew that this meant
eventual wage reductions, and dis
plissal of all active union men, and
therefore to forestall any such dis
elimination an appeal was made to
the district council to call strike.
The union demand is for 44-hour
week, the closed shop, union wages,
employment through the union and
the agreement to expire in the month
of March, which is the busy season
in the shoe industry.

Lone Wolf SOLON
BARKS SENATORS
into INSOMNIA
Scared of Quiz Into
Price of Senate Seats

WASHINGTON, D. c., March s.
a single senator-Cole L. Blease, a
democrat Of South Carolina, was re-
sponsible for the second all-night SEES
sion within q week Of the venerable
L. S. Senate. The dignified senator's
arc getting messed up and losing their
regular sleep because Senator "Jim"
Reed, democrat. of Missouri insists
that that body continue its investiga-
lions into "slush funds" during the
summer months.
In an effort to block consideration
Of this move, the ''filibusters" used
the time-honcred technique Of object
ing to all motions to proceed with the
business; before the senate.
Day and Half Left.
With IS hours left to the present
session Of congress, David Reed. of
Pennsylvania, a distant relative Of
the Missouri politician, was leading
those who are eager TO avoid the EN-
barrassment of further legislative in
vestigtaion into the manner in which
millions Of dollars were disposed in
eleeting men like Frank Smith of
Illinois TO the senate.
Big Bills Dying.
The present feudl which has its
origins in private quarrels of the
various senators, has the senate hog
tied while measures which are con-
sidered Of vital importance to various
interests were skidding to a quiet
death. A quorum-more than half of
the august body remained on hand
throughout the night, debating saw
agely on the floor, doing in chairs,
sleeping exhausted on couehes in full
view of crowded galleries, and pacing
The floor in brave senatorial at
tempt TO fight away sleep.
Just Won't Be Examined.
1t looks very much as though the
senate will adjourn, after being ex-
hausted by the continuous technicalities
at the disposal of the members of the
body. When il does there will be
much weeping by warn Us interests
and groups who have axes to grind,
and have already paid their deposits
on account.
So eager are many Of the virtuous
senators to kill the further investiga-
tions of the committee examining the
sums spent to purchase a seat in the
upper house of congress, that much
legislation dear to the hearts Of many
Of the leaders of the body, will be
sacrificed as result.

,HINESE GAELIC DIALOGUE DlSLOCATES DAILY
WORKER TELEPHONE AS EAST AND WEST ARRANGE
FOR ANTEBRITISH IMPERIALISM MASS MEETING

Ting-a-ling-a-ling went the tele-
phone in the Daily Worker editorial
room. "Call for O'Flaherty' came
from the City Editors chair O'Flah-
erty put the phone to his left ear and
the following dialogue took place:
"This is Samuel Sha of the Chi
nesc Nationalist Daily talking
Samuel who?"
samuel sha. want to know
about the Irish meeting.Y
"Oh, yes. Now l get you. How
are you today? Sure, anything you
want to know"
A SuperfIuOus Question
"Will the meeting be anti-British?"
ala. Ha. Haw, Haw, telephone
goes out Of order. When the repair
man gets thru O'Flahefty and Sha
are still laughing. When they re-
cover sufficiently to make coherent
speech they exchange compliments on
the humorous proclivities Of the Chi
nese and the Irish).
"By the way said UFlaherty,
400, 100000 Chinese should be able
to make things look kind Of dreary
for John Bull"
II have no doubt" replied Mr.. Sha
in soft musical voice." that John
will feel rather uncomfortable by the
time we get thru with him with the
assistance of four million Irishmen,
who have had considerable expert
ence in sticking pins in his shirt. But
where Will this meeting be held and
when?"
Meeting Tonight
"Tonight at 8 P. NJ. in Bryant Hall,
42nd street and 9Th avenue with your
self as one Of the principal speak
ers, in addition to William F. Dunno,
of the Daily Worker, Butte, Montana,
and Kansas, T. j. O'Flaherty as chair
man and let us hope goodly audi
ence."
"I'll be there said Sha as he hung
up.
BY the way "Sha" is Irish for Eyes. +"
1t looks like q real united front this
time between the Irish and Chinese.
Here is where East meets West with
a wallop-at John Bull and world i'm

Housing Problem Acute
in Suburbs; Rent $45
(Coatiaaod from Page One)

(CONttRdeU JFOW Wye C'e/
But the average commuter knows that
apartments are at permium every
where in the greater city, 50 he plugs
along, catching the SIS in the morn
ing, and the 6.15 at night.
Westchester Wages At 500.
Even in the slums of Westchester,
there are no rooms for less than So.
The average rent in Westchester is
high, $40; but Westchester as a whole
is not a working class county. Taking
lust the figures Of working class
rents, the average is $42. But the
average wage is 500, in those same
districts. Perhaps the actual aver
age for rentals is too high; at any
rate. according TO most real estate
specialists ! interviewed, it varies be-
tween that figure and SIS.
In spite of this high rental, the
yorker must pay a goodly portion Of
his wages to the railroad company
for Communication. Of course, except
for the Stun district of Westchester,
the surroundings are many times more
pleasant than they are elsewhere.
There is room for the Riddles to play.
But usually the employed members
OF fhe family spend half their lives
on the trains, travelling from one
point to another.
Long Island Shortage Acute.
Long Island is replete with work
ing class communities. Jamaica is
one Flushing is another. Mineola
must be included Yet many Of these
are almost self-sufficient; they have
enough Jobs to keep their workers
off the trains. So that their housing
problem is strictly local, and in most
cases, due to the landlords monopoly,
as acute as in greater New York.
In most of the Long Island COM
munities. I found the average wage
tn be $50, and in Flushing $50. The
average rental is S44, and in Flushing
S4S. These are figures that viii need
lot of Legislative seasoning before
they can be stomached by Mr.. Average
Citizen.
IN Jersey. due to the number Of
girls that commute, believe, the aver
age wage is only SGT, while the aver
age rental is $40. These figures are
cofroborated by a railroad company's
survey. And in Jersey, it must be
remembered, except for few in
stances, the living conditions rival
those Of New York's cheaper dis
tricts.
Suburban New Yorker Hard Hit.
The suburban New Yorker is get
ting dirty desl. He spends much
of his time travelling to avoid the
noise, dangers, hustle and hustle, liv-
ing standards, and rentals of the big
city. And the suburban landlord is
trying, without much organizational
backing. to frame him up with these
undesirables.
The housing problem. it will be
easily seen, is not merely plaguing
greater New Tork. The suburbs are
in for a few headaches, too.

STRIKE THE SHOP
when BECKERMAN
FINES A WORKER
Amalgamated Terrorist
Sternly Rebuffed

a severe blow TO Abraham Becker
mans terrorist rule in the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Union, was
given yesterday when all workers in
he shop Of M. Kulok, 39-41 Eldridge
Street, came out on strike in pro-
test against the unions removal Of
one Of the workers from his job, and
the imposing Of heavy fines on him
and several other members Of the
shop.
Beckerman Fined Him.
Because he had attended a left
wing" meeting several weeks ago, NJ.
Littman was taken off the job by
Beckerman and was also fined fifty
dollars. a number Of members Of his
shop came out on strike last week In
protest, and on Monday, five of them
we're brought before committee of
the union and were fined S25 apiece.
Whole Shop Struck.
Yesterday the entire shop stopped
work, and defying Beckerman and all
his gangsters, refused to go back to
their jobs and to continue the strike
until Littman is reinstated.
This is the workers answer 70
Reckerman's attempts to crush all
progressive thought in their union.
His rule by force must be ended, and
the strike Of the Kulok shop is an
important blow for freedom.

SMARTING
FROM PUBLICITY
ATTACKS WORKER
Raves Over Communist
Press at Labor Council

Smarting under the lash Of publi-
city, Ernest Bohm, manager of the
Bookkeepers' and Stenographers'
Union, rose on the floor Of the Cen
trail Trades and Labor Council last
night and tried to explain away the
charge made by The DAILY WORK
Err that gangsters were present at
the expulsion Of 81 militant members
of his union at the meeting last Mon
day.
Says Daily Worker Lied.
Bohm's defense was that those
present, gangsters and all, evidently,
had cards in his union. He said that
meant The Daily was lying.
This is the second attack in the G..
T. L. c. on The DAILY WORKER by
reactionary labor officials. The first
was two weeks ago, when Matthew
Vol delivered a spread-eagle speech
against it, on the occasion of the eX-
pulsion from the council of some of
It's best members.
Vol Was Exposed.
Vol was shortly thereafter caught,
and politically castigated by James
Maurer, head of the Federation Of
Labor of Pennsylvania for co-operat-
ing with the bosses to defeat old age
pension laws.
At the beginning of the meeting
John Coughlin, secretary of the body,
announced that he had received two
communications. One from 0izeT
Schachtman, president of Information
al Furriers' Union, and the other from
an organization 'that has no standing
with this body" No direct reference
was made to the resolution sent the
council from the furriers' Cooper
Union meeting.
A motion was passed to refer both
Of them to the executive board, in
structing that body to cooperate with
the special red-hunting committee Of
the A. +. of l.. appointed by Presi-
dent Green, consisting of Matthew
VOL, Edward McGrady and Hugh
Frayne. Frayne and McGrady were
both present at the meeting.
Delegates Help Passaic.
John Marshall, representing the
United Textile Workers of Passaic,
was given the floor to sell tickets for
the motion picture Of the Passaic
strike being shown at the Waldorf
Theatre this coming Sunday, The
council bought $15 worth of tickets
and many members who we're pres
ent bought additional ones.
Joseph Ryan, jerome Heating and
u. w. Costello were appointed as a
the hearing on injunctions to be held
committee to represent the council at
at Albany next Tuesday.
Librarians Start Discussion.
Miss Malone, representing the Lii
brarians' Union, asked for assistance
in their struggle against the politi-
clans of Queens who have discharged
two members of the union for appear
ing before a hearing at Albany that
was taking up the question of wage
increases.
After a lengthy discussion in which
many delegates participated motion
was passed to refer the entire mat
ter to the executive council for CON
sideration. This motion was intro
duced by Abraham Lefkowitz of the
Teachers Union.
A tendency not to press the ques-
ton too far was noticeable. Secretary
Coughlin admitted that politicians
were riding roughshed in Queens in
relation to the libraries hut oDnOsed
appealing to the mayor because it
might have a poor effect on future
questions that we will take up with
them.
