u. S. War Labor Board
to Hold Reunion Here;
Sessions to Be Secret

To keep alive both the spirit and
the form of the World War agency
which President Wilson called his
fright arm and his right eye," in
the last war and which will un-
doubtedly be used in the coming
slaughter, members of the United
States War Industries Board will
hold their biennial reunion in this
city tomorrow.
There will be a morning session
followed by a luncheon in the Ritz
Carlton. Bernard M. Baruch, well
known banker, who was chairman of
the Board, will preside. The whole
proceedings of the reunion, it was
announced, will be private" The
announcement did not say Secret"
but it is quite certain that many
things will be discussed at the meet
ings which it would not be "diplo-
matte" to disclose.

SILK WORKERS
WIN VICTORY
Force Officials to Call
Member Meet

(Snorin7 to the Doilp WorEer)
PATERSON, N. J. Nov. PA
decisive victory was registered for
the membership of the Associated
Silk Workers Union, when thev
compelled their officialdom to capi-
tulate to their demand for a MEM
bership meeting, which will be held
this Saturday afternoon in hall
as yet to be announced.
Condemn Right Wing.
Declaring as their indisputable
contention that the Overwhelming
majority of the membership stands
behind there ~ their condemnation
of the right wing Joint Board for
the strikebreakino act of dissolvine
the militant Strike Committee, left
wing leaders of that Strike Com
mittee yesterday announced that
since one of their demands had
been for a chance to let the mem
bership act on the question at issue,
they decided to call off the mem
bership meeting originally called by
them for Thursday.
This statement was made by the
left wing leaders at the strikers
meeting, right after the officials
announced the calling of a mass
meeting.
When Organizer Yanerelli made
the announcement, scores of work
ers thruout the hall shouted ella
ton at thus forcing the officials to
concede the membership their right
to determine for themselves wheth-
er the act of dissolving a strike
committee in midst of a bitter
struggle against the employers was
an act of smashing the strike or
not. No amount of questioning from
the floor as to why the Joint Board
had suddenly changed its former
stand-that of not calling mem
bership meeting-could make the
officials on the platform answer.
Victory For Membership.

Harlem, was packed last night with
an enthusiastic audience of some
1900 people at the meeting called
by the Negro Labor Congress to
protest against the frame-up against
the Negro crew of the sunken Yes

Otto Huiswood, who opened the
meeting as chairman, declared that
the Negro crew of the Vestris, many
of whom were present at the meet
ing, were being made the scape-
goats to cover up the criminal negli-

Joe Bauxill, Negro fireman from
the Vestris, addressed the audience.
He told how he had worked on the
Vestris as fireman since 1926.
When the ship went down he had
had nothing to eat for two days,
because of the disorganization
chargeable to the officers. Yet he
was tied in the stokehold the day
the ship sank.
He waited for orders, but no or
ders came. The officers were not
carrying out their duties. When he
went on deck to see what was the
matter, the officers ordered him be-
low again and threatened to beat
him and the other firemen up-a
habit they have.
Only five minutes before the ship
went down did the Negroes from

Along the waterfront, where sail
ors gather to exchange experiences
at the International Seamen's Club,
% South St., the sinking of the
Vestris alternates with the need for
a real union as topics of conversa-
ton. Members of the Vestris crew
are found enjoying the shelter of
the club, the one real workers CEN

parently from some worker who

declared the inspectors were drunk.
Hoover's Efficiency" Inspectors
1t must be remembered that the
Steamboat Inspection Service is a
part of the Department of Com
merce, and that a fellow who is
touted as the most efficient" of all
efficiency experts, Herbert Hoover,
is and has been head Of that de-
partment since Harding and the Ohio
gang went into power.
"Drunk?" say the sailors, "Of
course they were drunk. That is one
of the requirements, so to speak, of
a government inspector. A man
would have to be drunk to pass such
old tubs as the Vestris and a lot
more boats like her."
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry"
"You see, the inspectors stay on
the boat fo rthree or four days. Do
you think they pay for their meals ?
Not on your life! They get the best
grub there is, at company expense.
Do you think that the captain and
first mate and the rest don't make
them feel at home and among friends
"a few bottles of the real stuff
is not to be sneezed at, you know?
OF course they are all keyed up,
and would pass any old ship that
would stay above water long enough
for them to sign the inspection

The motto of the inspectors is
Eat, drink and be merry, tomorrow

To Confer With Mccoy.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Nov. 81.
With the battleship Maryland
speeding towards Corinto the
United States military authorities
here are preparing to go thoroughly
into the situation in Nicaragua with
President-elect Hoover. 1t is ex-
pected that General Frank R. Nc
Coy, commanding the United States
forces in Nicaragua, will travel to
Corinto to meet the president-elect.
Special significance is attached to
Hoover's intention of making his
first stop in the Gulf of Fonseca,
the Pacific terminus of the pro-
jected Nicaragua Canal.
The gulf is in the conflicting
point of claims of Nicaragua, Sal
vador and Honduras and has caused
6 protracted dispute over the right
Of Nicaragua to cede it to the
United States as the canal terminus.
Representatives of the Honduran
government will meet Hoover at
Amapala on the Honduran side of
the gulf. while the representatives
of Salvador will meet the president
elect at La Union, on the opposite
shore.
Meets Protesting Officials.
1t is understood that, next to the
negotiations which the president
elect is planning to make with
Nicaraguan officials and financiers,
his conversations with the Hondu-
ran and Salvadoran representatives
are the most important task he has
set himself in Latin America.
Liberal satisfaction to the pro-
testing governments to withdraw
their opposition to the building of
a Nicaraguan canal is expected to
be offered by Hoover during the
Fonseca conferences.
The itinerary of the Hoover tour,
complete up to the arrival at VAL
paraiso, Chile, has been issued from
the Maryland. 1t is as follows:
"Arrive Amapala early Nov. 25,
to visit Amapala and La Union; ar
rive Corinto early Nov. 26; thence
to Punia Arenas, Guayaquil, Callao
and Valparaiso. Panama will not
be visited. If necessary to fuel,
can do SO at Panama on return voy-
age. Further details will be re-
ported when determined"
Following additional information
released: Arrive Punta Arenas, Nov.
27; Guayaquil, Nov. 30; Callao, Dec.
8, and Valparaiso, Dec. e."
