MASTER BARRIERS
IN BRONX YIELD
POINTS TO UNION
Aggressive Picketing is
Carried On

Boss BARRIERS in the Bronx, amazed
by the almost complete stoppage of
work following the strike of 1000
BARRIERS and beauty shop girls, are
talking peace.
Conferences are being held with
union officials at headquarters on
Boston Road in which all demands
are conceded except for the p. m.
closing on Saturday. The union is
demanding that the Saturday workday
extend from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. with
the Master BARRIERS holding out for an
extra hour.
A few shops were running with
proprietors only on the job, while
some East Side barber colleges had
been raided for student BARRIERS" The
public, wary of these scabs' lack of
dexterity with the razor, carefully
avoided the open shops.
Cops Help Bosses.
Police were stationed in front of an
italian barber shop at 1S0th st. and
Boston Road yesterday where two
bosses were holding forth, one in front
and the other in the rear. No pickets
were allowed near the building.
At rs Featherbed Lane, the bosses
had induced some workers to stay on
the jobs, despite the good example CIV
en- by the girls, who walked out in a
body. At so w. Fremont Ave-, the
contrary was the case, with the bar
bers out but the girls on the job.
Crost Brothers, at 972 E. TIA st.
were rumored to be seeking an injunc-
ton against picketing. Two bosses
working together at this place have
made it necessary for the union to
take definite steps to maintain their
strike.
On the other hand the Mandell
brothers, operating shop on 173rd
St., went to the union hall and prom
Used to discontinue operating their
shop.
Criticize Policy.
Dissatisfaction is manifesting itself
among some of the striking BARRIERS
of the Bronx against the policy of
the union that compels the bosses to
join the Master BARRIERS Association
before the union will deal with them.
According to several strikers who
spoke to a representative of the
DAILY WORKER yesterday, the
union is encouraging the bosses to
form an organization that will be used
to fight against the workers.
"Why should we, the workers." said
one striker, "help the bosses strength
en- their own position, to fight us
when we go on strike. The present
struggle is good example, yet we
are continuing that policy which is
nothing less than acting as an organ
izer for the bosses interests"
Continue Picketing.
Spirited picketing continued yester-
day, all shops that have not yet joined
the strike being visited by committees
Of workers.

Panic gripped thousands Of work.
ers yesterday morning as a result of
a tie up due to a short circuit on a
southbound local near Grand Central
station.
In order to correct the trouble it
was necessary to shut off the power
on the southbound track in the Grand
Central block. Smoke from the short
circuit filled the first three cars Of
the train. Women began to scream
and men to curse. Several windows
were broken in the excitement. Many
passengers left the train and walked
on the tracks back to the station.

HATCH RAID ON
JOINT BOARD TO
FIND FORGERIES
Plan Small Imitation of
ARGOS Outrage

Evidently inspired by the same
bright idea which led Scotland Yard
to make its recent raid on ARGOS
in London, the reactionary officials
of the international Furriers' Union
and the A. F. of L. reorganization
committee have been Matching a raid
on the furriers' Joint Board so The
DAILY WORKER has learned from
three different sources.
The scheme is that someone from
the traitors band-or some clever
forger hired for the purpose-shall
manufacture a paper bearing "instruc-
tons from Moscow" as to the conduct
OF the present struggle against the
reaetionary forces of the Information
al. This document is to be carefully
planted" somewhere in the Joint
Board building, and then a raid is TO
be staged by the police-of whose CO.
operation Edward F. McGrady, A. f.
Of L. organizer, has frequently boast
ed-and the Moscow document will be
discovered.
No doubt it would be "found" Just
on the eve of the convention; or pos
sibly when the 100000 Union De-
Tense Fund had been completed and
the workers were fully organized to
resist every phase of the attack by
employers and right wing. But now
that the scheme has become known,
the traitors will have to think up
new one. Nothing like this one will
fool the workers, or stop the steady
activities which are go
ing on at the Joint Board headquar
tiers.
Expect Furrier Decision
While the Joint Board has been ex-
pecting each day this week to have
some word regarding the release of
the nine fur workers in Mineola, on
certificates of reasonable doubt, it is
confidently believed that the decision
of Judge Mitchell May will be made
known today. If the certificates are
granted, the men can be released on
bail pending an appeal of their case
to higher court.
Officials of the International were
given an unexpected reception on
Tuesday night when they went to
Newark to address meeting to which
they had invited only a very few of
the members of Local %. They had
carefully selected those members
whom they thot were right wing
sympathizers, and they had summoned
them by letter to come to Kruger's
Hall and begin the job of breaking up
Local rs.
Expected Small Meeting
To their surprise. several hundred
fur workers came to hear what the
reactionary leaders had to say, and
they were so upset they could not
give the speeches Of denunciation
which they had intended. Pietro Lucci,
whose ambition is to be the manager
Of Local %, and A. Sorkin, one of
those who wants to force Lucci on
the unwilling membership, came to
the meeting hall with a half dozen
scabs from various Jersey cities. Four
4 them had formerly belonged to the
Newark local but were put out for

1t may seem unbelievable when the
assertion is made, that the records
show that despite the fact that the
"levees only" system has failed to
prevent widespread inundation every
time the Mississippi flooded, that
nevertheless, the federal government
and local organizations have contin-
ued to dump tens of millions of dol
lars annually in such earthen walls.
Yet that is the absolute truth,
written in black and white on the
statute books of the land. Even now,
the Mississippi River Commission, a
federal agency that has been pro-
noting this contractors paradise
system, has a federal grant of $10,-
100000 with which to carry on its
operations beginning the new fiscal
year, July 1, 1927.
Millions For Graft.
Politics, crooked, nefarious, honey
combed with patronage and graft, is
responsible. The millions that have
been shoveled into these clay walls
that never hold, mean millions in fat
contracts. Fat, luscious contracts,
mean graft, mean political manipula-
tons and deals. For every dollar the
federal government puts into the
kitty, local levee politicians raise one
or two more by locals taxation, so
that vast system has been evolved
which up until the present has pre-
vented every effort made not only to
put an end to the stupendous waste
of the projects, but even to have an
independent investigation made Of
the problem.
Death Aided Gang.
When in 1917 the "levees only"
gang was under severe pressure in
it's effort to obtain the annual S10,-
100000 federal handout, it gave
ground to the extent of accepting as

city.
The note dispatched yesterday re-
calling Basil Newton, British repre-
sentative at Hankow, is understood to
have stated in no undecided terms
that in the future Great Britain will
confine its negotiations to Chang
Kai-shek and the Picking Govern
ment."
Newton has left Hankow for Shang-
hal where he will confer with the
British Minister.
Confab with Chang
That Sir Miles Lampson has left
for this city for the purpose of con-
ferring with Chang Kai-shek is not
unlikely in view of yesterdays note.
The note to the Hankow Government
stated that cit is useless and unde-
sirable to deal with regime so to-
tally incapable of the duties of civil
lied government.
Great Britain, having been forced
to abandon for the time being her
plans for open war against Nation
alist China, will support Chang Kali
shek in an effort to retard the Ma
tionalist movement, observers say.

Japanese Shell City.

SHANGHAI, May 1S.-The Japa-
nese destroyer Mono which was con-
veying Japanese Consul General Yada
to Hankow, vigorously shelled north
ern Chinese troop position at Chin
kiang last night when hit by stray
bullets, according to advices received
here today.
The warcraft opened fire, throwing
eight shells against the Chinese posi-
ton. About a thousand rounds were
fired from machine guns and small
arms.
Chinese papers are full of protests
against the American bombardment
of Kiang-Yon. Many lives and much
property were lost as result of the
Smelling.
