(By a Worker Correspondent
In the building trades in New York
and Brooklyn a division of work takes
place which is unheard of in any 9TH
er large city in the country We are
confronted with situation where one
section of the building trades is I'M
ionized while the other part is hardly
touched.
Unorganized Decorators.
What actually takes place in New
York? Let US consider the painters
of New York and Brooklyn. There
are some 10000 organized in the
Brotherhood of Painters and Decor
ators who are employed mainly in new
buildings. These are to certain per-
cent organized Those who are en-
gagged in alteration work are abso-
lutely unorganized and are facing a
grave situation at the present time
There are approximately 10000
painters who are working on altera-
ton work whom the Brotherhood has
entirely neglected The painters are
subjected to conditions which can
hardly be described. There ia no scale
of wages or hours. The wages are
hardly above SIS per day and with the
unemployment crisis affecting the
building trades so greatly, many
painters work for as low as even 81
per day. While the organized paint
ers receive from SIP to $14 a day,
these work on a starvation scale.
Officials Dent Care.
Has the Brotherhood officialdom
done anything to remedy this condi-
ton? Neither by word nor by deed
did they try. They are satisfied with
themselves as they are; their policy
is not to organize those fields where
there is sound situation but, quite
the contrary, they discourage these
workers from any attempt to organ
ize themselves. As long as there are
enough in the organization to keep
their high salaried bureaucrat Off
Gals in office, the rest may remain
where they are. For the past few
years. during the so-called prosperity
in the building trades, the Brother
hood gained a few members due to
the demand on the painters market.
Many painters were eager to join the
union because they knew that there
was enough work and that by becom-
ing members of the union they could
hold on to their jobs for number
of months.
Today, however, the situation is
radically different to that of several
years ago. Thousands of painters are
forgetting that they are union mem
bers and are switching from old work
to new work, thereby flooding the al
ready overloaded market of painters
and lowering considerably the already
miserable wages OF the unorganized.
1t may be said without exaggera-
ton that from $4,000 painters apply
for each job advertising for. This
holds true not only for the winter
slack period, but also for the autumn
and summer as well when the season
is busy. The two most important rea-
sons for this situation are, one, the
continued refusal or the part of the
A. F. Of L. to take definite stand
on the matter and, two, the condition
ct the alteration employers.
Low Wages.
The alteration trade is spread
among thousands of small bosses
who, at most, employ from four to
ten men, while many of them work

MACHADO TO Be
SOLE CANDIDATE
TO CRUSH LABOR
Persecution of Workers
Continues

HAVANA, Cuba, July 3.-Simu-
taneously with the announcement that
the iberal," Conservative and
Popular parties will support Ger
aldo Machado, enemy of the Cuban
working class and friend of American
invested interests as their common
candidate to succeed himself in the
forthcoming elections, has come the
statement that no other parties will
be permitted to nominate candidates.
This is a direct attempt on the part
of the government to eliminate the
Communist Party from the election
campaign
The move is also calculated to elm
mate such candidates as General
Mendeita, who it is feared by the
Machadists might form new party
with the support of certain reac-
tionary labor elements, and the former
war minister Iturralde, who was
suddenly dismissed by Machado when
it was learned that he was secretly
preparing his own candidacy for
president.
Widespread Protest
ut is no secret that most European
and American governments are justly
alarmed at the proportions which the
militant labor movement has assumed,
Machado yesterday stated to repre-
sentatives of the press. II limit my
self to eXpelling the agitators," de-
clared Machado whose police and
troops have repeatedly used force
against the Cuban workers.
Machado's denial follows by several
days the secret meeting recently held
in his office between him and the
heads of the secret service and police
bureaus and a number of secret
agents. The purpose of the confer
ence was to elaborate plans for the
nationwide persecution of workers
and workers organizations. 1t is in
timated that number of forged docu-
ments which have been prepared for
the occasion were for use against OUT
standing figures in the Cuban labor
movement.
Cuban police have been unusually
active in preparing the new campaign
and numbers OF workers are known
to be under arrest at present. Some
of them are already awaiting deporta-
ton on government vessels.

CITIZENS PROTEST
CLOSING OF STREET.
Otis Place Proposal 10 Pro-
vide for School Addition Is
Vigorously Opposed.

An alternative proposition to close
Otis place in order to secure land for
an eight-room addition to the Park
View School has raised a storm of pro-
test among residents of the vicinity,
who contend that closing the street
would be detrimental to their property
interests.
School and District government oftl-
Gals for some time have been discuss
ing the relative merits of closing GUS
place or buying a strip of land immedl-
ately to the west of the school, now oc-
cupied by row houses.
One hundred and forty-SeVen resi-
dents of the vicinity affected signed a
petition, which came before the DIS
trict Commissioners yesterday, protest
ing vigorously against the closing OF OTIS
place either for the school addition or
for any other reason.
M. r. Wilson, attorney for the red
eral Trade Commission, filed sep
arate protest on the ground that the
closing of Otis place would be "a serl-
Gus handicap" to him and "a serious IN
jury" to his property interests.
The issue is due to come before the

ing tonight.

The speaker declared that in no city

Mr. O'ShaughneSSy described adver-
tising as "a sound, concrete thing" that
must bring results and that has sta

No better proof of its success is Of

that it will reach peak in 1929 which
