Suicide Correspondence
Reveals Graft

WASHINGTON, June Am ex-
haustive investigation of charges that
postmasterships have been bought
and sold in the south was promised
today by Senator Brookhart (R) of
Iowa, chairman of the special inves-
tigating committee named by the SEN
ate.
The committee will get under way
shortly after the republican national
convention and will continue its in
quiry all during the summer, Brook
hart said,
The investigation, resulting from
the joint demand of Senators Harris
and George, democrats, of Georgia,
will be the first ever conducted in this
field.
It was brought about largely by the
sensational suicide of L. S. Peterson
postmaster at Douglas, Ga, who left
correspondence on which the Georgia
senators based charges that the job
was bought and sold.
Republican national committeeman
especially will come under the scru-
tiny of the committee.
The first witness probably will be
Postmaster-General New. After q
conference with the postmaster-gen-
eral, Harris and George announced
that they had asked for full coopera-
ton in the inquiry and promised that
they would exert every effort to give
a square deal" to everyone involved
The Georgia senators will present
the Peterson and other cases, while
other southern senators and congress
men are expected to appear before
the committee. After a hearing at
Atlanta, the committee probably will
go to Nashville, Tenn, Brookhart

AS a member of Local 913 of tbs
BARRIERS union. located in Long Island
City, I would like to disclose the con-
ditions prevailing in this town.
About two years we were organized
with the slogan, "Only thru organi-
7ation can we stop the master BARRIERS
from doing injustice~.to the journey
men BARRIERS" Today, in my opinion,
it has become a joke, for the Master
BARRIERS Association has the upper
hand in every respect.
The only time the rank and file
knows the union exists is when dues
are to be paid. The last meeting was
held about eight months ago when 1
introduced a resolution forbidding the
display of union signs in non-union
shops. This was passed by the mem
bers and the officials promised to
send out delegate the next day to
remove the signs. But they never did
this and they never explained why
not.

(By a Worker Correspondent
The plumbers helpers of New York
City are not the only ones who have
been refused admittance into the
Plumbers Union. In Philadelphia the
same problem exists.
UnOrganized.
There are about 1000 plumbers and
helpers and steamfitters and their
helpers in Philadelphia. Only about
200 plumbers, steamfitters and steam
filters helpers are organized. The
plumbers helpers are not organized.
The officials of the Plumbers Union
there don't give a damn about organ
izing the plumbers helpers into a
union. The plumbers helpers, how
ever, think that they have a perfect
right to become union men.
A Plumbers Helpers Club has just
been organized in Philadelphia. The
club has at present about 80 mem
bers. More and more helpers are
joining the club.
They have asked the American As
ISOLATION of Plumbers Helpers, with
headquarters at Z E. 18th St., New
York City, for copies of their official
organ, "The American Plumbers
Helper" Their request was granted.
Aid Organization.
The American Association will help
all helpers to organize as much as it
possibly can.
News also comes from Boston,
Mass, that the plumbers helpers
there have organized a club.
The plumbers helpers in New
Haven are not behind in organizing
themselves. They, too, have organized
a Plumbers Helpers Club.
The various helpers organizations
should unite and fight together for
admittance into the U. A., our parent
body. In unity there is strength.
This is very good beginning. The
plumbers helpers of other cities and
towns should follow the example of
their brothers in New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston and New Haven.
Now is the time to organize. 1t is
never too late. For organized we will
be for all that.
