Especial 10 The Daily YORKER
+ CINCINNATI, O., May 18.-Yes-
terday's morning session of the con-
'vention of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Union here was virtually
turned into a madhouse by the con-
tinued organization of artificial
demonstrations for one or another Of
fetal Of the union.
Since the convention opened three
days ago the lieutenants of Abraham
Beckerman, A. Hollander and Morris
Blumenreich have been frantically or
ganizing the New York Delegation
TO stage a demonstration for the
fascist manager of the New York
Joint Board. They also tried to get
the delegation from Local to join
in on the noise-making. The decision
of this local, however, reached the
night before, was to walk out Of the
h.ll when the demonstration of af-
lection" took place.
1t started after the convention had
listened to representatives of the New
Bedford strikers and of the miners.
After they had finished, the signal
was given that Beckernan was about
to be introduced. The New York
delegation started to parade around
and around the hall, to the melodious
strains Of the American national an
them, "The Star Spangled Banner"
repeated again and again.
Sidney Hillman, president, then in
Produced Blumenreich, who launched
into a long drawn out eulogy of
Beckerman and his heroic attempts to
save the union from the Communists
by the strength of his fists. He
ended by introducing Beckerman him
self. The demonstration then began.
Every delegate was supplied with
horns, hammers, whistles, rattles,
confetti and steamers. Under the
direction of the impressarios the
racket grew so loud that the reporters
from several local newspapers jumped
up and ran out of the hall. Similar
demonstration were arranged for
Miller, treasurer of the Joint Board,
and like amount Of noise was later
made for Hillman.
Leo Wolman, Of the Amalgamated
Bank, spoke Of the great financial ac-
accomplishments Of the union. HilIman
then followed with an impassioned
speech in which he pleaded for the
delegates to discuss the questions re-
ported on. Several finally got up to
discuss the serious problem of ulI-
employment in New York, due to tEe
lack of union control. Beckerman I'M
mediately eountered by calling them
all fools, singing out one who Won
deringly questioned whether the
Amalgamated was a business organi-
zation or union.
Another resolution offered against
the piece work system was defeated
here yesterday. A resolution was
voted asking the general executive
board to bring in the 40 hour week as
soon as they found it practicable.
B. Charney Vladeck, manager of
the Socialist" Jewish Daily Forward,
reached the climax of his speech
when he declared that zone Anal
gamated Bank is worth more than all
that Marx and Lenin have ever writ
ten" Following this brilliant con-
clusion, the leader of the Socialist"
party began attacks on the Commu-
nists.

 Cuban Aviation
 The future growth of aviation in Cuba was pictured in "a most en- couraging light" in paper prepared by Captain Eduardo Laborde of the Cuban army. Two other reports by foreign countries included the de- scription of the flights before the World war of the Swiss aviators over the Alps and the development of air transport in the Belgian Con- go.
 The United States was said in paper by Charles N. Montieth, chief engineer of the Booming airplane company, to have learned lesson of
 
 the economic value of air transpor- tation from the military aerial ac- tivities of the World war.
 "The airplanes attains speed double that of our fastest means Of land transportation he said, and therefore has naturally taken Its place in carrying mail, valuable ex- press and passengers. The outstand- ing problem to be solved is that of reducing the time it now taxes to reach the business sections of our cities from the airnorts.'
