Boston Workers Plan
Mass Protest

BOSTON, July 21.-Preparations
are being made in Charlestown prison
to forcibly feed Sacco and Vanzetti
Warden Hendry said yesterday that
compulsory feeding would take place
as soon as the medical condition of
the two condemned workers war
ranted it.
DR.. Mclaughlin, the prison physi-
clan calls daily to see the men and
subjects them to rigorous examina-
ton. So far, the doctor says, they
are in ''fair" condition and the COM
pulsory feeding is not being given to
them. However, because of the hard
ships to which the prisoners have
been subjected it is feared that they
will not be able to hold out very much
longer.
When Mclaughlin comes to that
conclusion the men will be strapped
to an infirmary table and be fed by
means of a rubber tube which is

HAVE VAUDEVILLE
AT DAILY WORKER
.CARNI l SUNDAY

Among The features at the Daily
Worker Carnival Sunday will be the
vaudeville program which will in
clude James E. Phillips and Ruth
Agee who will sing popular songs.
A welcome package of hand knit
and crocheted articles of hand knit
for the carnival from Mrs. Bishop
Brown. 1t will interest the workers
to know that the Bishop and his wife
are spending all their time trying to
put The DAILY WORKER on the
map.
Who'll be the most popular girl at
the carnival? We don't want to know
the most beautiful-. The boys
individually will have their own
ideas about that. That's where the
contest comes in. A vote will be
taken to find out the lucky girl and
she will be the leader of the Grand
Mardi Gras Parade in the evening.
This is going to be a very popular
item on the program so all are urged
to attend so that a true decision can
be arrived at. The general opinion
is that the 25,000 who are going to
the Stadium Concert Saturday will
make for Pleasant Bay Park to sup
port their favorites.

ALL new YORK UNIONSBACK SUBWAY STRIKE
CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL SUPPORTS
ORGANIZATION DRIVE ON INTERBORO
Delegates Wildly Cheer Motion Hitting at
Tactics Of Company Officials

Representing more than half mil
lion organized workers of New York
City, the Central Trades and Labor
Council unanimously endorsed the
drive for the organization of Inter
boro Rapid Transit workers last
night. Cheers from the delegates
greeted the statement of Patrick j.
Shea, vice president of the Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Elec-
trio Railway Employees, that strike
would be called if the L R. T. Off
cials persisted in their attempt to
prevent the organization of the men.
Announcing that meeting of trac-
ton workers would be called at the
Brooklyn Lyceum this evening, Shea
declared, ''The Amalgamated Associa-
tion is not coercing the traction work
ers. We have not come in on our
own initiative. We have been called
in by dissatisfied groups of workers
of the 1. r. T. brotherhood"

The action of the Central Trades
and Labor Council followed the an
nouncement of the American Associa-
ton of Plumbers Helpers which
pledged its full support to the 1. R.

E. Miller, president of the plumbers
helpers, announced that a resolution
had been passed pledging financial aid
to the subway workers and pledging
that members of the organization

Although Corrigan's report is biased
and appears to have been motivated
largely by a desire to clear the New
York police force of the charge Of
accepting bribes, he admits that there
is no evidence backing up the claims
of Messrs. Woll, Green, McGrady and
other reactionary leaders in their at

ers.
Corrigan's Improved Charges.
Corrigan's report attempts to shift
the issue from the charges of "brib-
cry" to vague hints that fur leaders
put the unions funds to improper
uses" Corrigan's yelled charges are
no more substantiated by facts than
the charges of the reactionary labor
| leaders.
The investigation was begun at the
direction of Mayor Walker under pro-
visions of Section 80 of the Inferior
Criminal Courts Act to decide wheth-
er any official of the police depart
ment had been bribed during the last
fur strike that began February 16,
1926, and lasted for II weeks.
In his report Magistrate Corrigan
pointed out that no evidence was given
to prove the charges of the American
Federation of Labor Committee.
Part of Report.
It reads in part as follows:
"The members of the investigation
committee, which consisted of Messrs.
Frayne, McGrady, Woll, Ryan and
Sullivan, were examined and testified
in substance that the charges referred
to had been made by Cold Shapiro
and Mencher of the Joint Board. 1t
appeared that not all the members of
the investigating committee were
present at all the hearings, but a
stenographer, Miss Holden, was pres

"Gold, Shapiro and Mencher, when
examined, swore that not only had
they never paid or heard of paying
graft or bribes to the police, but that
they had never said to the investigat-
ing committee or elsewhere that they

of their position they produced their

who also had been present at the hear
ings before the committee, and who
produced her original notes. A COM

EXPEL ANOTHER
Shoe LOCAL FOR

Continuing their policy Of disrupt
ing the Shoe Workers Protective
Union, the General Council yesterday
expelled Local 55 when at its meet
ing held at 1873 Second Ave, it de-
cided to support the New York Dis
trict Council and condemn the acts of
the General Council. The meeting
was called after a general strike to
protest against the high-handed meth
ods of the General Council.

Nolan in his speech to the member
ship of Local So yesterday said that
the reason he had revoked the char
ter of the New York District Coun-
Gil was because he is opposed TO cen
tralization and favored local asto-
mony.

Trubowitz pointed out how last year
the General Council opposed the bring
ing into the union of 5000 new mem
bers from the American Shoe Work

support the progressive elements OF

pelling the opposition, that they will

Trubowitz pointed cut that the ma

scabs if a strike should be called.
In spite of the threats of the I. R.
T. officials and their attempts to CO.
erce their workers, Shea declared, the
organization drive would continue.
Fight Company UniOnism
Declaring that the great issue of the
drive for the organization of subway
men was company unionism versus
genuine unionism, President Sullivan
Of the State Federation of Labor en-
dorsed Shea's statements. Urging the
organized workers of New York to
back the Amalgamated's campaign,
Sullivan declared that defeat for the
subway men you'd mean defeat for
all New York workers. "They will
not fail" he said, "if they get our sup
port"
"The American Federation of La
bor," declared J. H. Coleman, organ
iZer for the Amalgamated, "has
pledged US its full support in our drive
to organize the workers on the I. R.
T."
The motion, finally introduced,
which scored the yellow dog contract
and the methods Of the 1. r. T. Of
ficials was cheered by the delegates
and passed unanimously.
Circumstances" it was said, made
the presence of William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, impossible. A number of dele
gates at the meeting wondered about
the nature of the circumstances.

ENABLES SEANEN
TO STAY IN U. S.

Foreign seamen cannot be deported
after they have resided here three
years. This is the decision handed
down by the Seventh Federal District
Court and sustained by the Court of
Appeals as the result of long fight
on the part of the International Labor
Defense.
The fight of Mauro LaRusso to
remain in the United States served
as the test case.
LaRusso, seaman, arrived on the
President Wilson on March IA, 1928.
On November IL, 1926 he was arrest
ed on the charge of entering the
United States illegally.
Fought Him AS "Agitator."
Declaring that he was an "agita-
tor" sent here to stir up trouble pat
rioteers began campaign to deport
him. A warrant was issued for his
arrest and on December 7 he was
taken to Ellis Island and scheduled
to be deported the following month.
AS the result Of long fight on
the part Of the International Labor
Defense, the case was brought be-
fore Federal Court, District 7, which
decided that seamen cannot be de-
ported after residing in this country
for three years.
The government carried the case to
the Second Court Of Appeals which
affirmed the decision Of the Federal
Court.

CAPITAL SCRAPB0OKS
INTEREST STUDENTS
Study of Civics Advanced by Re-
cording Clippings on
Washington.

The prosaic study of civics in
many of the grammar schools or the
country has been made a subject of
keen interest on the part of the chill
dren by the introduction of a sys-
tenn of preserving newspaper clip
pings, cartoons, magazine articles and
original essays on the City of Wash
fngton In scrapbooks devoted exclu-
siyely TO the subject.
This scrapbook study of Washing
ton was instigated by the American
Civic Association, which sent out
over 600 letters to schools over the
country, asking that in connection
with the pupils civic lessons they be
instructed to read the newspapers and
magazines, and to clip anything per-
tanning to Washington, it's present
condition, past history and future
planning.
Mrs. isabel Sewall Hunter, teacher
of drawing in Sidwell's Friends
School in the District of Columbia,
made the first scrapbook of the kind
with the cooperation of her pupils in
the seventh grade. She exhibited her
meeting of the department of superin-
tendence of the National Education
Association in Dallas, Tex, February
26 to March 3, and will exhibit that,
and other books made by children, in
Dallas. Toledo, Louisville and Pitts
burgh, and at the meeting of the In
stitute of Architects in Washington
the first week in May. She also will
exhibit them at the conference on
city planning at the Wardman Park
Hotel the following week and at the
general meeting of the National Ed
ucation Association in Seattle the
last of June.
Mrs. Hunter is commencing a FIVE.
year campaign In which she says she
hopes it will be possible to teach the
school children, through the use Of
the scrapbook method. to notice and
read whatever they see in the papers
and magazines concerning Washing
ton, so that the future voters will
know Washington, what it needs and
how to further the plans of the Park
and Planning Commission in its
Identification Of the Capital City.

RADIO FUND GIFTS
TOTAL ONLY $3.50.
Contributions for Repairing
Hospital Sets Fall
Far Short.

Additional contributions amount
ing to $3.50 were acknowledged to-
day by the Washington Radio
Hospital fund committee. Added to
the $1S522 previously acknowledged
this makes a total of $3.50 .72-far
short of the committees goal of
1900.
The committee needs approximately
$4,000 to recondition the radio re-
ceiving sets 1t installed several years
ago in 40 hospitals, charitable insti-
tutions and orphan asylums in the
District, in addition to $500 to meet
an urgent deficit, incurred when the
radio benefit performance it arranged
last month at the Washington Audi
forum had to be called off on account
of a snow storm.
The sets installed by the committee
serve 1000 bed patients when in
operating condition. Many of these
shut ms" however. are being denied
the radio entertainment because
some of the sets are disabled for
want of new tubes. batteries and
other accessories. The committee
has appealed to the public for the
necessary funds. Contributions
should be sent to Herbert T. Shan
non, treasurer, room 208, Colorado
Building.

the government is not supposed TO
