Smith and Boulder

His various and changing statements of policy
on the Boulder Dam project indicate that Gov
ernor Smith has definite knowledge On this
great enterprise That is not surprising No
man, however able, could become familiar with
great and complicated matter without months
of study.
But it is a matter of little concern to us
that Governor Smith gave nearly half day of
his valuable time last spring to conference with
Messrs. Maddox, McCluskey and other members
of the Arizona Colorado River Commission who
have long been the chief obstacles in the way of
the Boulder Dam project.
Mr.. Maddox, when in Vegas several weeks ago.
was much elated at the approval by Governor
Smith of the Arizona policies. Whether this
elation was justified or not, we cannot avoid the
suspicion that Governor Smiths pronouncements
as to Boulder Dam are based upon the ideas ihl-
planted in him by Governor Hunts representa-
tives, who are bitterly opposed to the Boulder
Canyon project.

PLAN
is MADE PUBLIC
Untermeyer Has New
Bridge to 7c Fare

Plans for the acquisition of the
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Cor
poration at a price still to be de-
termined, for the organization of
so-called quasi-public corporation
which will finance the newly reor-
gained subway lines, and for the
possible recapture of the INTERIOR
ough in the event that road does
not 'concede" to the plan was made
public yesterday by Samuel Inter
myer, special counsel to the Tran
sit Commission who for the past
nine months has been working on
the scheme.
The five cent fare, according to
Untermyer, will be retained. This
is the same announcement made by
him last year on first making pub
lie his proposal which the present
one resembles in practically every
respect. 1t is known, however, that
Untermyer insists that the subways
must be "self-supporting" The
newly constructed lines are in fact
compelled by law to pay their way
out of fare charges, which under
the enormously overcapitalized val
uations of the lines can never be
accomplished 1t is believed there
fore that the Untermyer plan is
merely bridge" leading to fare
increase and the eventual turning
over of the old lines together with
the billion dollar new ones, normal
ly to be under public control, to the
operation and profit of "a private
company.
Another provision contemplated
by the plan is the allowance to the
present lines of enormous sums in
the event of "recapture" for lines
which have been allowed to depre-
ciate and are now worth only
fraction of their recapture cost.
1t is believed that the present
willingness of BIN. T. to do bust
ness is the confirmation of the
charge that the Tammany Hall city
administration and the state repub-
lican organization have fully re-
conciled whatever differences they
may have previously had
The time for the fare increase
and for the billion dollar traction
steal is said to be set for after
election.

Defies international

Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
CHICAGO, July 16.-Delegates of
the Chicago Joint Board of the

ing held here July II, defeated the
motion forced upon them by the
general executive boards emissary
]. Roberts, that the union wreck
ing policies of President Zaritsky
and Co. be endorsed, it was learned
today.
Roberts insisted on a vote for this
motion in a speech to the Joint
Board made on the eve of his de-
parture from Chicago, in which he
openly threatened to cut off finan-
cial assistance from the Interna-
tional for the Chicago unions or
ganizational work, and demanded
that Zaritsky's policies and tactics
be endorsed.
The Joint Board members, re-
fusing to aid Zaritsky in his cam
paign to introduce piece-work, the
44-hour week and expulsion of pro-
gressives, voted down this proposal.
Roberts, it was learned threatened
the expulsion of Millinery Workers

button against the Joint Board if it

When local So representatives
proposed to reorganize the Joint
Board organization committee, which
had atrophied during Roberts stay
as Joint Board manager, the propo-
sal was carried despite Roberts
strenuous opposition. After failing
in an attempt to break up the meet
ing, Roberts left, followed by few
of his henchmen.
Before leaving Roberts announced
the imminent arrival of another
Zaritsky appointee called Gerther.
a Chicago manager. The Joint Board
declared that he would meet the
same fate as Roberts.

CONCERT PUT OFF
UNTIL SATURDAY
Theremin Volpe and
Ballet to Perform

Since the weather on Saturday
took such a counter-revolutiona
turn, the great DAILY WORKER
concert at Coney Island Stadium has
been postponed until next Saturday
evening. This postponement is ex-
pected to prove an advantage in
several ways. The participating ar
lists will have an opportunity to per-
feet their programs in greater de-
tail during the coming week, while
many workers who were for some
reason unable to purchase tickets
will be able to do so for next Satur-
day.
The committee in charge an
nounces that all tickets bought for
the concert will be good next Sat
urday. The concert will be the same
as previously announced, that is,
the greatest proletarian musical
event ever held in the United States.
The entire program will be put on
without change. Arnold Volpe and
his orchestra will present pro-
gram of symphonic favorites; the
famous Roxy Ballet, under the
direction of A. nellie, former dance
partner of Pavlova, will perform
their unique dances; and Prof. Leon
Theremin, the great Soviet scientist,
who is the "star" of the concert,
will draw his remarkable new ether
music out of the air in a program
of unusual distinction.
Tickets for this great concert can
still be secured, but they are not
likely to last much longer. All
those who want to make sure of
being at Coney Island Stadium next
Saturday should buy these tickets

YOUNG WORKERS
LEAGUE HOLDS
BIG CONFEREN
100 Delegates Present
From Many Shops

More than 100 delegates from all
of the units of the Communist Youth
League were present at an organiza-
tlonal conference that was held yes
terday in the Workers Center.
The question of organization of
shop nuclei was the main point on
the order of business and many were
present from large shops and from
New Jersey.
Yusem, representative of the Ma
tional Executive Committee, the
first reporter, spoke on the letter
sent by the Young Communist, In
ternational to the American Leauge.
He analysed the reasons for the
leagues failure to establish more
shop nuclei in the large factories
and pointed out that the shop nu-
cleus was the basis of organization
of every Communist Youth League.
Frankfeld, acting district organ
izer, reported for the District Elk
ecutive Committee on the general
situation in New York and New
Jersey. The workers, and especially
the young workers, show greater
willingness to struggle, he said.
After a detailed report on the So
cial composition of the New York
membership, the various leaflets and
bulletins issued in the past six
months, he reported dues paying
membership of over 600 in the New
York League.
Jack Perrila, reporting on the
Working Youth Conference to be
held in September, pointed out that
the two so-called Broolwood youth
conferences had succeeded in expos
ing the inability OF the progressives
in organizing the young workers
and showed that in this period of
greater fighting powers on the part
of the workers the youth will and
must play an important role.
The league set minimum of 10
shop nuclei as the aim of its present
factory work.
One active worker in the Perth
Amboy strike reported on the de-
velopments in the shop, the spirit of
the workers and the militancy of
the shirt makers. 1t is the aim of
the strikers, she said, to spread the
strike to all 1900 shirt makers in
Perth Amboy.
A general discussion lasting sew
eral hours followed. Representa-
tives from the International Hand
kerchief Company, from Klein's De-
partment Store, from Wasserman
Clothing Company, shoe factories,
fur pointing shops, millinery shops,
radio factory and many other fac
tories reported. All pledged them
selves to work for the organization
of shop nuclei and of the masses of
young workers in the factories into
unions.
The conference, it was declared,
marked a great step forward in the
work Of the New York League and
will serve to mobilize the entire
league membership in the campaign
to organize the working youth of
the city and to build the Communist
Youth movement on the basis of
shop nuclei.
