PUT SEWER CRAFT
open HEARING OFF

The public hearing on the Queens
sewer scandal will not be held before
the first week in April, it was de-
cided today at a conference between
special Commissioner Clarence j.
Shearn and Emory Buekner, his at
torney. Shearn was recently appoint
ed by Governor Smith as special COM
missioner TO succeed Justice Scudder
in the prosecution of sewer graft
charges against Maurice E. Connolly,
Queens Boro president.
The delay in the public hearing
was decided upon to enable Shearn
to make a trip to Florida at public
expense, it was said, in order to serve
dispositions on material witnesses
who fled New York state when the
Queens scandal broke out.
Private hearings which Shearn has
been conducting have been going on
for several weeks with no resulting
action.

MANY EXAMPLES
Shipping Clerks Assail
Hllman at Meet


Each day brings forth new exam
pies of the wreck made of the once
powerful Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union by the right wing
machine in control of the organiza-
ton. Several incidents, occurring in
New York mems clothing shops are
now the subjects of bitter discussion
among the rank and file members of
the union.
The owners OF the firm Of Perlman
and Levine, 81 Canal ST., after an
agreement arrived at with the union
efficialdom, slashed wages of all
workers in the shop from SIS to $3.50
a week.
Workers Fired.
Thirty five workers from all crafts
in the large factory Of Simon and
Alderman were thrown from their
Jobs without even an attempt being
made by the union heads to obtain re-
instatement or division of work.
The Witty Brothers shop on Ell
bridge st. obtained the consent of the
New York Joint Board to discharge
20 workers for the good of the in
dustry" according to statement pre-
viously made by A. Beckerman, man
ager of the union.
What seems to be the prize event of
the week, however, took place in the
shop Of Brown Bros. and Kalky, on
Atlantic ATe., Brooklyn One of the
employers in the above firm assault
ed an operator while he was work
ing at his machine, for being too out
spoken in his objections to the slave
driving of the bosses.
The shop chairman Immediately or
dered the whole factory to stop work
This was done. The boss then threat
ened that those stopping work would
be. discharged at the end of the week
Remembering the uselessness Of pro-
testing to the union, the workers re-
turned to their machines. After wip-
ing the blood from his face, the as
saulted worker also went back to
work.
The feeling of the workers that
protests to the union would be use
less was justified later by the action
of A. Hollander, trade manager of the
Joint Board who squashed the matter
entirely.
Denounce Officials.
More than 100 shipping clerks,
members of Local 15S, A. C. w. and
working in the mems clothing shops
having agreements with the Anlalga-
mated Clothing Workers Union, met
late Tuesday night to protest against
The action of President Sidney Hill
man, who made a public declaration
that there is no such local.
Displaying on table the locals
original charter with the signatures
Of Hillman and other national off
cials, the workers assembled denounc-
ed the union officialdom's denial to
them of the right to organization.
The shipping clerks local, it was
learned, had lost heavily in member
ship when they were left out of the
agreement with the employers asso-
citation during the last general strike.
Lately, however, an individual for
nerly in the employ of Hillman and
Beckerman, as head of the "Educa-
tional Squads" (whose duty it was to
,,terrorize left wing workers) decided
to go into the "union business" him
self and annexed the title Manager
of the Shipping Clerks Union"
