Call Mass Picketing
(Coatinaed from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
break up the mass picketing demon
stration which have proven as the
most effective weapon in fighting
all the enemies Of labor. therefore.
BE 1T RESOLVED, that we, the
shop chairmen and shop committees
Of the cloak and dress industry. as
sembled at Manhattan Lyceum on
June 20, express our most vigorous
protest and condemnation against
these outrageous methods EMPLOYED
by the trade union bureaucracy;
methods that will have a far reach
ing effect not only upon the work
ers Immediately involved in this
struggle, but upon the struggles Of
the entire labor movement and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that we
call upon all the members of our
union as well as upon organized
labor of this city to join us on the
picket line in the mass picketing
demonstrations that we are carrying

New Right Wing Trick.
How the right wing group in the
international Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union is attempting to make the
bosses come across with funds to
pay for gangsters to cut up and bru-
tally beat militant members of that
organization, has come to light in
the form of letter sent to the manu-
facturers by Morris Hillquit, attorney
for the Sigman machine.
The bosses are told to Immediately
pay to the right wing gang their
contribution to the unemployment
fund, even tho in the next paragraph
they are told that the fund has been
suspended.
Money Not for Workers.
That the money will not be given
to unemployed cloakmakers is self
evident, as Hillquit himself admits
"the fund has been temporarily sus-
pended"
When informed of this latest move
on the part of the right wing, cloak
makers were heard to comment on
the audacity displayed by the union
disrupters.
Hillquit's Letter.
The letter sent by Hillquit reads
as follows:
81 have been retained by the trus-
tees of the Unemployment Insurance
Fund to collect from you the contri-
buttons which you owe to the Fund
under the terms Of your agreement
with the Joint Board of Cloak Max
ers' Union.
"The Fund has temporarily sus-
pended its operations and you will
not be required to continue your con-
tributions to it from the 1st day of
January, 1927. But all amounts due
from employers up to that date must
be paid.
May | request you to send me an
itemized and complete statement of
your pay rolls since the date of your
last report. together with your check
to cover the contributions due from
you since such date, within ten days
from the receipt of this letter so as
to obviate the unpleasant necessity
of court proceedings"

to make clear was that Commissioner
Coler was the cause of all the trouble
now come to head at the county
hospital
The mayor taking his cue from his
political boss, Gov. Smith soft ped
aled the religious question as much as
he could.
Orders From Smith.
Instead of getting to the root of
religious discrimination in city insti-
buttons, unimportant and irrelevant
questions were asked and answered.
1t was pointed out that at times there
was only one nurse on duty for every
70 patients in ward and that the
"god-fearing" doctors and internes
were often guilty Of neglect and some
times Of downright cruelty.
Looks Sore.
Although the mayor acted as
though he was very indignant with
conditions as they existed at the hos
pital, it seemed very clear that he was
merely playing up the horrible details
to dispose Of his political enemy in
charge Of the department of public
welfare Hizzoner took his glasses
off and put them on repeatedly, he
pursed his lips and looked shocked,
but nobody was fooled.
Very Respectable.
The hearing was well attended by
allrightnikes who took great
delight in watching the mayors fire
works. A group of New York rabbis
heard the proceedings and congratu-
lated themselves afterwards on the
fairness"
There was nothing in the whole af-
fair which was not painted by the
brush of Tammany politics. The hear
ing was adjourned until Friday. Oh,
yes. The hazed internes are still

WALKER USES CITY
HOSPITAL HAzINC
QUIZ TO HIT FOE
Avoids any Technology
Shocking to Pogromists

Mayor Walker played hide and go
seek with the word Jew" for two
hours yesterday during his inquiry
into the charges Of religious and ra-
cial discrimination which exists at the
'Kings County Hospital. Whenever
there was a possibility of calling
spade, his honor said "er-er certain
citizens of this city" or "a certain re-
ligious domination" At the end Of
the hearing the word "Jew" remained
unuttered. Such verbal dexterity must
be trying, for, it must be conceded
that to inquire into an anti-Jewish
lynching party without once mention
ing the word is a great political feat
Shortly after the hearing started it
was quite obvious that this so-called
investigation was merely a move On
the part of the majority faction with
in the Tammany organization to rail-
road Commissioner of Public Welfare
Coler out of office.
Hearing Fixed.
The hearing started with the usual
fanfare announcing the mayor and the
first witness called was DR.. Mortimer
Jones, the superintendent of the hos
pital in which the three Jewish in
ternes were semi-lynched two weeks
ago Monday. He was the only off
cial called during the session yester-
day and his testimony was to all APP
pearances previously prepared with
the cooperation of the mayor, who in
spected the Brooklyn hospital last
week under Jones chaperonage.
Politics.
During his examination Jones de-
MED that he had knowledge that any
anti-Jewish feeling existed in the in
stitution under his care, although he
was aware of the fact that previous
to the present batch of Jewish in
ternes there has not been a Jewish
inferno attached to Kings County
Hospital for the past eleven years.
The mayors questions were so
framed as to call for answers which
would incriminate Commissioner Coler
who is in charge of all city hospitals.
Coler is a Hearst-Hylan man and the
present Tammany regime is doing all
in its power to GUST all non-Smith Of
from power.
One In Nine Dies.
In reply to the question asked by
Walker as to why the application
blank which all prospective internes
must sign had the question regarding
the applicants religion, if any; Jones
replied that in view of the fact one
patient in nine admitted to the hos
pital died, it was necessary to have
"god-fearing" medical men on hand,
as very often the attending clergy
were not present.
He further pointed out that the dy-
ing patients died easier when a re-
ligious doctor was present than other
wise. Stress was also laid upon the
fact that the attending clergy wanted
"god-fearing" doctors on the staff.
The question which should have fol-
lowed was obviously that there was no
clause in the city's constitution that
religion was requisite to the prac-
tice of medicine in a city hospital
But the mayor did not ask the ques-
ton. The point that he was trying

San Francisco showed insufficient
strength.
The California city, meanwhile
opened its campaign in earnest with
gle arrival of committeeman William
H. Crocker and Detroit increased it's
efforts to hold the early advantage
it seemed to have gained. In the
opinion of large share of the early
arriving committee members, the final
selection lies between Detroit, San
Francisco and Kansas City, although
Cleveland and Philadelphia still figure
in the speculation.
The committee sessions will be
opened Monday with an executive

dozen cities seeking the convention

by President Coolidge at the White

departed TO Alaska he had begun to
suspect wnat these men had done to
him and to the country, and that this
suspicion contributed to his untimely

At the outset of his story, Forbes
denies that Harry Daugherty, whom he
calls "the evil genius of the admins
tration' was responsible for President
Harding's nomination by the republl-
can party in 1920. AS early as 1915,
Harding had been discussed as presi-
Dental possibility by Theodore Roose-
velt, at New York conference which
Forbes attended, he asserts.
Sketching the "Ohio gang that
Daugherty. had brought to Washing
ton," Forbes tells of many of Daugh-
erty's transactions in the Little Green
House on K Street" Apparently there
was friction between Forbes and
Daugherty for the former veterans bu-
reau executive asserts that when he
wished to do something to check mar
cotic traffic in federal prisons Daugh-
erty blocked him.
"From my own recent experience in
the penitentiary at LeavenWorth," !"
Forbes continues, II know that the.
appalling evil which described to
him (Daugherty) still exists in our
penal institutions. Narcotics can be
had by any prisoner if he has the
money to buy them"

says, "I saw in Jess Smiths office in
