BOSSES BREAK
PROMISE TO PAY
CAPMAKERS MORE
Rank and File Pressure
Forcing Official Action

Fifteen hundred New York capmak-
ers may go on strike in the near fu-
ture as a result of the bosses associa-
ton refusing to give the workers the
one dollar week increase on Febru-
airy LIST, as agreed upon in the con-
tract signed last July.
At that time after a four weeks
strike the Capmakers' union signed
a three-year contract for an immediate
two dollar week increase and an adj
ditional one dollar on the first of Feb
ruary.
When the date for the one dollar
increase came, the bosses flatly re-
fused to live up to their contract, I'M
doubtedly under the impression that
the right wingers in control of the
union would not make any fight for
it. In this they were correct. At first
the right wing administration was
quiet, but due to pressure from the
rank and file of the union it has been
forced to take a position of leading
the struggle for the fullfilment of the
contract signed by the cap bosses.

pie. Fifty booths is the aim of the
committeeman that aim has every
appearance Of being realized. To meet
the anticipated increased attendance
a larger hall has been engaged.
At Star Casino.
The Star Casino, l07th Street and
Park Avenue, is the place; Thursday,
10th; Friday, 18th; Saturday, 18th,
and Sunday, 18th of March, are the
Gays.
Everything points to this being the
most successful bazaar yet held.
Scores of working class organizations
embracing thousands or workers are
preparing now for the affair. It is
expected that over $4,000 will be
raised. The International Labor De-
Tense is depending upon the bazaar
to finance the many cases on hand
and to insure support for what is ex-
pected to be the most bitter year of
class struggle yet experienced in
America.

SICMAN PROVIDES
BAIL FOR GUNNER
WHO SHOT COHEN

The appearance of the attorneys
of the international in court yester-
day morning to defend four gang
sters, members of the notorious
"Frenchy" gang which shot and
wounded Samuel Cohen as he was
leaving a picket line last Monday, de
finitely places responsibility upon the
International for the activities Of
these gunner and thugs.
The four gaDgsters were arraigned
in the 54th street court where they
we're represented by counsel of the
International. They were fully iden-
titled as the men who jumped out of
sedan ON Fifty Seventh street and
Broadway and fired three shots at
pickets who were returning fom the
Reisman, Rothman, and Beaver shop
where the Joint Board has called a
strike for discharge Of workers who
refused to register with the Inter-
national.
Three of the men, who gave their
names as Max Richter, Michael Fried
man, Harry Goldman were released
on $4,000 bail and Samuel Ober was
released on $1,000 bail, the Inter
national furnishing bail in all cases.

Last year twenty-five thousand
workers turned out to pay tribute to
their courageous, martyred brothers
in Jail. The bazaar was not only a
demonstration of solidarity, it was
also glorious revel for all who took
part and was voted red letter event
never to be missed in the future.
For four short days twenty-five
booths did capacity business. 1t was
2 pleasure to see the efficiency with
which the attendants catered to the
neels Of the customers-who secured
many cherished mementos of the
great event.
More This Year.
Ten thousand dollars were realized
fcr the glorious purpose of defend
ing prisoners and maintaining their
dependents. Without that splendid
sum much Of the work of the /. l.. d.

HOUSE BILL TO
PREVENT Third
COOLIDGE TERM

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. - The
question Of President Coolidge's moral
right to seek another term in the
White House will not be settled on
the floor of either house OF congress,
it appeared today.
While administration leaders in the
house were taking prompt steps to
block consideration of the anti-third
term resolution offered by Rep. Beck
(R) of Wisconsin, democratic leaders
in the senate rejected overtures to
raise the issue in that body.

PAINTERS UNIONS
seek ARREST OF
OUSTED GRAFTERS
Instruct Secretary to
File Claims

The New York Painters District
Council at it's last meeting instructed
its secretary. Thomas Wright, to file
claim of $4,000 against the Bond
ing Company of the councils deposed
officers.
Huge Funds Stolen.
This action was taken following
the publication of Organizer Doyle's
report, which charges that the treas
ury of the council has been robbed
to the amount Of $4,000. Of this
sum $4,000 has been traced. it is
claimed, to Charles Koenig, former
finance secretary Of that body, who
has ever since the discovery Of his
alleged misappropriation Of funds,
been in hiding.
VIII Arrest Grafters. 4.
Mr.. Wright, the present secretary
Of the council, stated: "Koenig is not
the only one involved in this robbery,
hut was working together with at
least three others. with former Sec
rotary Philip Zausner playing the
leading role.
owe are determined that every
one Of these men be brought to trial.
We have the information and the
facts which viii convict them and
will certainly not rest until punish
ment is melted out"
Ignores Balance On Hand.
The report of Doyle does not give
a correct account of the councils
finances during the last 10 months,
the period under dispute and COM
pletely ignores that at the time of
January 1925, date his report started
from, the council had a balance of
cash on hand of 100000. If this be
added to the figure of Doyle's re-
port, the total is then brought up to
$4,000.
Shields Zausner.
The council by a majority vote re-
jected Koenig's proposition, pretend
ed thru Organizer Doyle, that he
would reimburse the council 80 cents
on the dollar on the amount of $3.50
GOO, which can be traced, it is said,
to have been stolen by him.
Doyle's report is prepared in such
a way that Philip Zausner is not i'm
plieated.
Altho he had instructions to in
vestigate the councils books up to
the date Of Oct. 81, Doyle,s report
ends with August 81. Wright stated
that Doyle had not dared to give
information for the period between
August and November because Of
the alleged discriminating evidence
against Zausner in this period.
Treasurer Also Involved.
Latest developments show, it is
claimed, that the treasurer Of the
council, William Hartley, has been
directly working together with the
machine.
Checks which he received and
cashed were not credited in the ac-
counts, it is said. Wright said that
the claim for $4,000 against the
bonding company will be filed with
the district attorneys office, and
that he will press for immediate ac-
ton.
Demand Conviction.
Doyle's report and recommends
ton had been sent to all local
unions, the majority of whom re-
jected his proposition that the or
ganization accept part reimburse
ment. A unanimous demand for the
immediate arrest and conviction Of
Zausner, Koenig and Hartley was
their answer.

FAKERS' PRESS
CAMP ACHING TO
JAIL GORETzKY
Out on High Bail, But
Workers Reflect, Him

Another instance Of frame-up on the
part of officials of the International
Ladies' Garment Workers union is
indicated in the re-arrest of Joseph
GOretzky, manager of Local 35, who
was just released on $4,000 bail yes
terday morning after spending the
night in the TOmbs.
All last week the Jewish newspaper
which is spokesman for the fright
wing" had daily articles on the fact
that Goretzky, who had been chair
man of the picket committee during
the strike, was still free while other
cloakmakers were behind prison bars
because of their strike activities. The
fact that this paper, and the officials
it represents, had helped to put these
men in Jail was not mentioned.
Extra High Bail.
On Thursday Goretzky was called
for trial on assault charges for which
he had been indicted several weeks
ago and been held in jail for two
weeks on exhorbitant bail. When he
arrived at the court on Thursday, he
was Immediately re-arested by mem
bers Of the Industrial Squad on new
charges growing out of alleged GIN
formation" given to the grand jury
early this week.
Right Wing Provoked.
Goretzky is convinced that his ar
rest is the direct result Of the pro-
vocative agitation carried on against
him by the fright wing"
1t is certainly in line with the state
ment of President Sigman of the /.
L. G. w. u. to members of the shop
chairmen's council who visited him
several weeks ago, that the best way
to settle the internal dissention in the
union was to put a few of the cleft
wing" leaders in Jail. Apparently he
is attempting by every possible trick
to bring this about.
Install Goretzky.

reelected manager Of Local 80 by an
overwhelming majority, is to be one

Hard Day For Right Wing.

Il
On the whole the fright wing"
spokesman had hard day yester-
day, denying this conference and an
swering Mr.. Notify Eitingon's state
ment about the attempted bribery in
connection with the report on the in
vestigation of the fur strike.
Mr.. Hugh Frayne, in addition to
lying about the conference with the
! Greeks, expressed himself as much
aggrieved and surprised that when
Mr.. Eitingon was approached for a
bride he did not go right down to the
New York headquarters of the A. F..
of l.. and report the matter instead
of waiting until now to make it public.
He added that he would leave fur
ther comment to President Green; and
this dignitary, from Washington,
said:
Il am satisfied that each member
of the committee (the special inves-
tigating committee headed by Mat
thew WOLF will say that the charges
are unfounded and there is no word
of truth in them"
Amazing Reaction of The Forward.
Probably the most amazing reac-
ton to the bride revelations made by
Mr.. Eitingon was that of the Jewish
Daily Forward, the organ Of the
fright wing" in the garment unions.
Mr.. Eitingon, it will be remem-
bered, stated that man came to him
saying that he knew what hte A. T.
of L. committee had inserted in it's
report and that the portion concern
ing the fur manufacturer could be
stopped for consideration.
The Forwards Interpretation of
this statement is Communists Try to
Suppress Report of A. F. of l.. by
Means Of Graft" "Eitingon the fur
dealer, who forced the Communist to
accept his settlement says that there
was also an attempt to get graft
from him for the report"
The account goes on to say that the
Communists tried to offer thousands
of dollars graft to suppress details of
the strike. First this paper has Mr..
Eitingon being asked for money to
keep his name out of the report.
Then they have him being offered
to suppress the report.
This is a shining example of the
fright wings" method of distorting
the truth. Nothing could be simpler
than Mr.. Eitingon's story of the in
cident, yet the Forward manages to
twist it out of any semblance to the
facts given.
Their story constantly brings in
mention of Tammany politicians as
being aligned with the Communist"
in this matter, and tries to imply
once more Mr.. Eitingon's Commun-
istic affiliations by stating that he
forced the left wing Ito accept his
terms of settlement of the fur strike
and "only afterward the bosses ac-
cepted it."
Expose Is Severe Blow.
The fright wing by this brief
news" story on Mr.. Eitingon's SEN
sational statement shows how severe
blow this expose has proved. Ger
tain capitalist papers talk openly now
of the coming war of the fright wing"
line-up-A. F. of L. and International
Fur Workers union officials-upon
the New York Joint Board. Just be-
fore the battle, it must be bit dis
turbing to the right wing" to have
its dishonorable methods of attack so
frankly disclosed.

FUND FOR SCHOLARSHIP
ESTABLISHED BY CLASSES
Lewis Hotel Training School Plans
Conference With Hotel Man
ayers on Suggestions.

1t is not unusual for the various
classes in hotel management at the
Lewis Hotel Training School to pre-.
sent their Alma Mater with some
token of appreciation to show their
loyalty when they graduate.
Hanging in the lobby of that insti-
tuition are several beautiful tablets
bearing suitable inscriptions express
ing the sentiments of the students.
Two recent classes presented the
school with a pair of torcheres which
have been installed in the large
second floor auditorium. But it re-
mained for the two last classes, Nos.
26 and 27, to do something out of the
ordinary. These graduates, realizing
that there might be others less for
tunate than themselves who were
financially unable to pay their tuition,
started scholarship fund to give
some one an opportunity to take the
course in hotel management gratis.
When there is enough money in
this fund to cover tuition charges,
Clifford Lewis, president of this insti.
tuition, will confer with local hotel
managers for suggestions. The stu.
dent who is selected will then be en-
rolled in one of the regular evening
classes and will have all the privileges
of the free employment bureau, which
is available to all graduates. The eff.
fects of such 81 scholarship are far
reaching and will ever reflect the
thoughtful generosity of the students
who contributed to it.
