W EINSTONE TO
Lecture ATFORUM
Speaks on New Tam
many Hall" Sunday

( William W. Weinstone, New York
district organizer of the Workers
(Communist) Party of America, will
speak Sunday evening at p. m. at
the Workers School Forum, 108 E.
14th St., on "The New Tammany
Hail." Weinstone has just written an
article for the Communist" on this
subject and is at present preparing
a pamphlet on Al Smith as a presi-
Dental candidate.
Commenting on the forthcoming
lecture, D. Benjamin, assistant direc-
tor % the Workers School, said:
"The New Tammany Hall is an es-
pecially significant subject at the
present time, with the presidential
election campaign not far off and
with Al Smith, the leader of Tam
many Hall, as the most prominent
democratic candidate for the presi-
dency. The important change of
Tammany Hall from the days of
Tweed and Croker, when it repre-
sented the petty bourgeoisie, to the
present time, when it is closely con-
nected with the Morgan banking in
terests and with finance capital in
general, makes this subject impor-
tant at this time when the workers
of this country will be called upon to
elect the future rulers of this coun-
try.
"The program of Capitalization of
government that has been proposed
and been put thru by Smith; the at
tack on the needle trades workers
chat has received the full support of
the Tammany Hall judges and po-
lice; the various flying trips to the
South, the heart of democracy, by
Olvany, Walker and Smith; the real
meaning Of Tammany Hall today
these topics will be analysed by Vein
stone in the lecture"
On the following Sunday evening,
Joseph Freeman will speak on "Some
Recent Aspects of American Litera-
ture."

HOUSEWREGKERS
CAIN In Strike
Refute N. Y. American
About Compromise

An inaccurate report in yesterday
Hearst's american stated that the
strike of the Housewreckers Union
against the attempt of the associated
boss wreckers of the city to force
reduction of wages by 80 per cent
as well as lergthen the workday by
an hour was settled by a compromise,
has created some confusion.
Officials of Local 95 Of the House
wreckers Union, through their Pres
ideat Leon B. Roze and Business
Acens Larry Truhan, denied that
there has been any compromise and
stated that the strike is going strong
Efforts by the state department Of
labor at a conference yesterday to
end the strike have been rendered
futile thru the tactics of the bosses
and their clubbing as to what con-
stitutes an 8-hour day and what time
the men should go to work and
whether they would be allowed to
work overtime. Last nights session
of the mediation conference broke up
in disorder and confusion: James
Brady, chairman of the conference
stated he will try once more to "rea-
son" with the bosses.
20 Bosses Yield.
A big break was made in the ranks
of the bosses last night when Edward
R. Walsh, one of the largest con-
tractor wreckers in the city, signed
up with the union and agreed to pay
last years scale of wages and respect
the conditions laid down in the con-
tract Harvey and others followed
suit and now over twenty boss wreck
ers have come to the union office
and signed on the dotted line.
Two boss contractors named Nor
ris and Benjamin Rozen were ar
rested by detective McHugh at the
subway job at Myrtle and Jay St,
Brooklyn. They were taken to the
Adams Street Court and released on
$1,000 bail each
John H. Delany, chief engineer and
head of the city's transportation de-
partment, admitted to representa-
tives of the union that the Rozens
were not obeying the prevailing rate
of wages law. Delaney said that all
contracts bear that clause but that
the contract in order to have the
proper force and standing must be
filed with the proper city authorities.
The strikers are holding mass
meetings every day at the Manhattan
Lyceum and are addressed by the
executive officers.

the class.conscious workers of this
