ITALIAN WORKERS
CONDEMN MINI 0,
MONDE"
Rally ClOakmakers to
n. Y. Joint Board

A meeting of Italian cloak and
dressmakers was held last night at
the headquarters of Local %, lowest
21st St., to start campaign of en-
rolling all Italian workers in support
of the New York Joint Board.
The meeting adopted two resolu-
tions. The first condemns Morris
Sigman and his ally, Salvatore Ninfo.
The second resolution protests against
the actions of the "Nuovo Monde"
Italian daily newspaper, that refuses
to publish the communications Of the
workers.
The resolution against "Nuovo
Monde" calls upon all Italians to boy
colt the "Nuovo Monde" 1t points
out that "the banner of anti-fascism
and liberalism which the "Nuovo
Monde" flies is fake banner because
in reality this paper is completely
under the control of the reactionary
fascist bureaucracy of Sigman, Ship
lacoff, Beckerman and the Forward
combination"
The resolution against Sigmanism
reads as follows:
Whereas, the Sigman clique is di-
rectly responsible for bringing about
the ten months destructive civil war
in our union, and
Whereas, the Joint Board has
courageously met and bravely with
stood all the attacks and provocations
of the Sigman, Ninfo and company
clique during the past ten months,
and
Whereas, after ten months of the
most vicious attacks on the part of
Sigman, in spite of all his maneuvres
with the bosses, the workers still
stand determined to defend their
rights to the end, and
Whereas, the Madison Square
Garden meeting was a mass demon
stration of the strength and solidarity
of the workers against the disruptive
Vaccinations of the bureaucratic ma
chine, and
Whereas, in order to regain con-
troll of the industry and re-establish
union conditions in the shops, the
rank and file of the workers must be
united, it is therefore
Resolved that we pledge to con-
tinue to support the Joint Board and
'Be it further resolved, that we
conduct an energetic and persistent
propaganda among the Italian ele-
ment of our trade for the purpose of
lining them up with the Joint Board
as decisive factor in the struggle to
re-establish unity in our organization
and union conditions in the shops"

Judge Lindsey Answers
Fake Charges; Records
His Personal Property

DENVER, Sept. 16.-Former Judge
Ben B. Lindsey Of the Denver Juven-
lie Court today answered charges
filed with the Denver Bar Associa-
ton by Philip S. Van Cise that Lind
sey had removed some of the Shame
records" of the court at the time he
was ousted, by publicly burning the
records in question.
II have not destroyed any court
records" declared Lindsey
"The records I have destroyed are
my private files" he said.
II have destroyed thousands of
such records before. The ones I have
retained on leaving the court were
preserved from destruction only long
enough to be sure that they had no
relation to any filed case in the court
There is no power that has any legal
right to take them away from me. I
will take no chances on their i'm
proper use"
According to Lindsey, the records
had to do with young girls and women
who had come to him and confided in
him their troubles so that he might
help them.
at has meant the saving of thous-
ands of homes that the records could
Destroy" said Lindsey.

Judge Regrets Law
Not Handy to Stow
Reds in ASyIums

CHICAGO, Sept. 16, (FP). - The
police drive to railroad radicals like
Aurora d'Angelo, the Sacco-Vanzetti
demonstration, to the lunatic asylum
is a good thing but unfortunately it
is not quite legal. When the law has
been changed, the police can go ahead
with their put-'em-away program.
These sentiments, oozing from the
lips of chief justice Harry Olson of
the criminal court, Chicago, indicate
that legislation enabling the authori-
ties to shut up native radicals in
asylums while they deport those of
foreign birth will be sought at the
first opportunity.
No Law Handy.
"The detective bureaus ambitious
program" says Judge Olson, sis in
some measure made impossible be-
cause we have neither the law nor
the institutional machinery to carry
it out. 1t is entirely possible, as some
have intimated, that psychopathic ex-
aminations could be abused as means
of political revenge. / do not say or
believe that it has been done or is
being done now but it might happen
sometime. That is reason why the
psychopathic laboratory should not
become a bureau under police control
and why the psychiatrist should de-
eide how the laboratory should be
used"
The judges whitewash of the city's
psychopathic laboratory suppresses
the fact that an assistant in the lab
oratory was responsible after a few
minutes casual observation for rail-
reading two men to the nut ward
who had been torn out of their home
at midnight. This was done on or
ders rubber stamped with a judges
signature by a clerk. The men were
released on habeas corpus

Chicago Girl Fined for
Part in SaccO-Vanzetti
Mass Protest Meetings

CHICAGO, H., Sept. 16.-Aurora
D'Angelo, eighteen-year-old high
school girl who was arrested by the
Chicago police three times during the
Sacco-Vanzetti protest meetings in
that city, was fined 500 and costs by
Judge William R. Fetzer in Chicago
municipal court last Tuesday.
Leading several demonstrations and
parades of protestants against the
killing of the two Italians, Aurora
was twice roughly handled by the po-
lice. At one time her clothes were
torn almost completely from her. On
her third arrest she was held for
some time in the psychopathic ward
of a municipal hospital, but the ex-
aiming physicians were forced to ad-
nit that she was normal and above
the average in intelligence and she
was released.
In assessing the fine against her,
the judge also placed her under six
months probation.

Auto Workers to Suffer

DETROIT, Sept. 16 (FP).-"Ford

a great automobile war;" declares The
Ford Worker, fortnightly paper is

erals sit back where it is safe and

JARDINE AGREES
NOT TO SMASH
COTTON AGAIN
Statement on Probable
Price Favor to Bears

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-Because
of the open scandal over wild spec
ulation in the New York and New
Orleans cotton markets yesterday,
the Department of Agriculture has
been forced to discontinue issuing its
cotton price trend statements, it was
announced today.
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
discussed the question at today's cab
met meeting.
Approximately $8O,00O,0OO was
wiped off the potential value of cot
ton when the departments statement
that prices are likely to decline in the
next few months, went over the
ticlcers.
1t is learned from New York that
this public tip from the department
went unnoticed on the stock market
for several hours by all except those
who knew about it beforehand, and
that these cleaned up handsomely by
selling short.
Whether the department Of agricul-
ture influences the market immedi-
ately and directly by reports calculat-
ed to raise or depress it, or only more
subtly by inside information of
changes in supply which always do
someway manage to leak out to
friends of the personnel in office, re-
cent events seem, in the opinion of
politician brokers here, to bear out
Mark Hanna's famous dictum: GA
senator who takes cash bride when
he can get tips on the market instead,
is fool"

Winter Of Suffering
100000 Unemployed

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-This city
faces the worst winter for unem-
ployment since 1918. More than
100000 workers are out of jobs

from the depressed agricultural
areas of the Middle West and other
places. Added to the many local
unemployed workers they make a

MILITANT GROUP
PLUMBERS union
HAS CANDIDATES
PrOgressives of Local
1853 Nominate Ticket

The progressive group Of Local 463
of the Plumbers Union is distribut-
ing a leaflet addressed to the mem
bers Of that organization appealing
for support of the slate in Sundays
election.
The program of the militant
plumbers, contained in the leaflet
calls for amalgamation of all build
ing trades unions into one depart
mentalized industrial union; a con-
solidated building trades council to
secure the standards Of all trades in
the building industry against the at
tacks of the bosses; a unified central
body of all plumbers locals in New
York; an organization drive to union
ize the trade and the establishment
of the 40-hour five day week.
The program reads in part as fol-
lows: "The cost of living is still ris-
ing and the workers need more mon
ey. Besides this, the bosses, with
their new production methods and
speed-up make much more profit.
Why should not the workers, who
perform all the labor get something
out of this speed-up and increased
production by reducing the hours of
labor, so that all should get employ
ment and high wages to cover the in
creased cost OF living?
Therefore, to improve conditions
Local struck. All the plumbers
bosses in Greater New York imme-
diately lined up against them and
even declared a lockout. More than
that, the entire Building Trades EN-
ployers' Association took the leader
ship of the plumbers bosses and
lined up all the building trades CAPT
talists against the plumbers.
what did the U. A. leaders do
Did they mobilize the entire strength
of the International union behind the
Brooklyn plumbers? No!
did they line up the rest of the
building trades unions so as not to
work with scabs on the jobs? No!
what did the U. A. leaders do?
They demoralized the strike. They
made the men surrender to arbitra-
ton and lobbied with the bosses
against the workers and thus prac-
tically betrayed the interests of the
rank and file plumbers.
"The fight of the Brooklyn plumb
ers was in the interests of all the
plumbers. A victory there would have
meant much for all building trades
workers. Local members lost be-
cause they were not supported, left in
the ditch and betrayed"
The progressive candidates are:
for president, Irving Weiss; for vice
president, Walter Detlefsen; for re-
cording secretary, Thomas De Lough-
ry; for general secretary, Joseph
Reich; for secretary treasurer, Rob
ert Lantier; for business agents,

HOOVER BRAGS HE
HAS ENDED MOST
or RELIEF WORK
Wants No Extra Session
to Balk Mortgages

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. Is. -
Even the aid rendered by the concen-
tration camps to victims of the Mis-
sissippi floods has now entirely
ceased Secretary Of Commerce Hoov-
er boasts in his report to the presi-
dent. The number of farmers thus
deprived Of any compensation from
the government whose levee policy
brot about their ruin, is estimated by
Hoover at $4,000.
The report admits that in Ill coun-
ties in the flooded region grave men
ace exists from spreading centers of
typhoid, malaria and pellagra.
Owing to the second flood and
other causes probably 100000 acres
of flooded land will have no money
crops this year." says Hoover.
Loans, Not Relief.
In spite of the extreme restitution,
and the lack so far of any actual
work towards prevention of new
flood next spring, Hoover did not
recommend an extra session of con-
gress, as is demanded by the voters
of the flooded region. An extra ses-
sion, the administration supporters
fear, might yield to popular clamor
and vote recompense to some of the
poorer victims for the damage done
them by government laxity in control,
and thus spoil the bankers plan to
mortgage the entire inundated region
thru the "relief corporations" Hoover
has organized.
