Byron Gay were the visitors to give
short talks. All expressed great
admiration for the valley and mar
yelled at its possibilities, both in
agricultural as we'll as in industrial
lines. They declared themselves
greatly amazed at the industrial
achievements in Mexicali, declaring
that they had always believed the
border town to be nothing more than
resort city on the scale of Tijuana
and never realizing its actual worth.

This affair is going to be reminis-

5000 workers came to Daily Work

Boss Builders Nav
Not Run Both Open
And Closed Shops

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 3.-Ac-
cording to decision of the Building
Trades Department of the American
Federation of Labor, contractors
throughout the country will no lon
ger be permitted to operate closed
shops in one locality and open shops
in another.
The decision states that the policy
would be put into effect gradually,
so as not to interfere with work now
under way. The plan will be to call
a strike in closed shop if the con-
Germ refuses to give up it's open shop.
The declaration was adopted at a
meeting of sixteen presidents of
building trades international unions,
presided over by William j. McSorley
of Washington, president of the
building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor in the

Long Island Cityites to
Assure the Grand Jury

More than $50 prominent residents
of City Island were waiting on hand
ready to testify to the Bronx Grand
Jury, meeting in the Bronx Supreme
Court, that the waters around City
Island are not polluted and unsafe
for bathing, contrary to the opinion
held by Health Commissioner Harris.
1t was also argued that the order
from the health department to con-
struct cesspools for the buildings on
City Island was Oppressive and need
less"
At the close of the investigation
the Grand Jury adjourned the case
until week from then in order that
Commissioner Harris may appear as
a witness to defend the departments
stand in condemning the waters.
1t is the opinion of the health de-
partment that the present means Of
disposing of the waste in City Island
is largely responsible for the CON
tamination Of the waters. The resi-
dents of the island, however, reply
that their drainage system is the
best in the getty and the waters are
not unhealthful.

Wicks Talks to Newark
Open Air Meeting; Cop
Wants Permit; Gets 1t

The open air meetings of the New
ark section are held every Friday
evening at the Market Plaza, New
ark, N. j., are very interesting and
successful.
So far we have avoided any serious
trouble either from the police or from
anyone in the audience. At the last
meeting July 20, 1927, at which Com
rade Wicks spoke, he mentioned the
word Revolution" just as squad of
seven policemen passed and the SER
,geant stopped his speech and asked
for the permit. One of our comrades
showed the permit and the cops after
seeing that the permit was all right,
drew aside and held a short confer
ence after which the speaker was al
lowed to go on.
After Comrade Wicks had finished
speaking some very foolish questions
were asked him by a group in the
crowd. Ones of the group asked this
question: eff you don't like this
country, why don't you get QUIT"

Paper Box Makers Form
Union; Friedman, Hurt
By Cop, Not Well Yet

The Paper Box Makers Union of
Greater New York, which conducted
the four and one-half months strike
of last winter, is now Local 1852
of the American Federation of Labor
and is duly received as a federal
union.
With the reorganization of the
union the following officers have been
elected: George Bridgeman, presi-
dent; Jacob Merritt, treasurer; B.
Friedman, manager; Clarina Michel
son, secretary.
An organization campaign is under
way in the trade. Workers have
turned out well at two recent mass
meetings. Unions in other trades US
ing paper boxes are giving active
support and have formed a committee
that is broadcasting a letter of sup
port to the new A. F. of L. local.
The bosses association, which broke
the 19 weeks strike, has been weak
ened by the competition of outside
employers in the industry. Only a
collective agreement with the union
can reestablish the industry.
Friedman Still Recuperating.
B. Friedman, manager of the paper
box makers union, who was kicked
and trampled upon by mounted cop
during the long strike of last winter,
is still suffering from the effects,
seven months after the attack. His
spinal cord was injured by the kick
ing.
Wolf, the guilty cop, rode over the
sidewalk and kicked Friedman in the
back. His only punishment was a
change Of beat, but he was soon sent
back on the old round.

Religion Head Smirched
Name of Woman to Stop
Credence in Evidence

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Aug. 8. -
Reverend Ben Purnell's House of
David cult put through a fraudulent
divorce decree here in 1920 to be-
smirch the name Of Mrs. Esther Han
sci, 35, of Detroit with false adult
cry charge according to evidence in
troduced by the state today in the
dissolution suit against the cult.
Mrs. Hansel, Ben's former private
secretary and now star witness for
the state, was divorced by her beard
ed cult husband Horace Hannaford
on grounds of adultery after she and
Hannaford had agreed to the divorce
on charge of desertion, it was de-
veloped today by special prosecutor
George E. Nichols in cross-examining
Hannaford.
Two days after Ben elected Mrs.
Hansel and members of the John
Hansel family from the cult after in
timidating them with fake warrants,
according to Mrs. Hansel, Hanna
ford was called off of vaudeville
tour with the cult band and filed the
amended divorce bill with the adult
cry charge. Hannaford admitted this
on cross-examination today. Soon
after Mrs. Hansel received copy of,
the decree in House of David en-
velope.

the Spells; End Fight

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 (FP). -
Strained relations between the Pan
American Federation of Labor and
the International Federation Of Trade
Unions is seen in an l. F. 7. U. press
report, just. received in Washington,
which reads:
"A letter sent by the Argentine
Labor Socialist Party to the P. A. F.
of L. gave additional reasons for the
refusal of the Argentine comrades to
attend the Pan-American congress;
it was explained that Iglesias, the
secretary of the P. A. F. of L. had
made use of the Argentina ambassa-
dor in Washington as an intermediary
between the P. A. F. of L. and the
Argentine Federation of Labor. we
see,' they wrote, that it was mis-
take on our part to accept your in
vitation, because we are not accus-
toned to participating in labor con-
ventions organized with the help of
foreign ministers and ambassadors. !"
Matthew Vol, who holds high po-
sion in the A. F.7L. ard the p. A. F.
of L, and is sponsor for the Labor
Monroe Doctrine that European labor
organizations should keep out of
America, is trying to compose the in
Iternational jurisdictional quarrel
through compromise He proposes
that the A. F. of L. again join the
i. F. T. U. if the latter organization
will agree to cease its activities on
American soil.
The recent Pan-American labor
congress sent greetings to the I. F.
T. U. and a Mexican delegate de-
parted directly for Paris to attend the
l. F. r. U. congress there. The Mex
lean Federation of Labor is negotiat-
ing with the 1. F. 7. U. preparatory
to affiliating. An Amsterdam dele
cation visited Mexico City recently
to urge that step.
