TAMMANY DODGE:S
CRAFT CONTRACT
AS PROBE is OFF
Investigator Again
Postpones Hearing

The expected attempt to cover up
the details Of the St6,O0O.00o "barz
gainR contract With the. Brooklyn Ash
Removal Company took place yester-
day before Commissioner of Accounts
James "A: Higgins, who is doing the
withdrawing" act for Mayor jim
ME Walker.
In. the so-called Investigation which
has already been postponed three
times. everything depends upon how
nearly the real nature of the contract
is disclosed. Commissioner Higgins
yesterday again let it be known that
the contract would receive his atten-
ton Sin the near future"
Tammany Breaks Ranks.
The contract was opposed by AL
dermanic President Mckee when it
came before the Board of Estimate
last spring and for reasons of his own
he has sought to separate himself
from the several millions of graft
which the Tammany politicians are
said to have put over in this instance.
Controller Berry, who has been
holding up 100000 of payments due
the company in the terms of the con-
tract withs the city yesterday an
nounced that the amounts had been
paid and that he had become salts
fled with the terms of the contract.
Just what brought about this unusual
expression of confidence at this mo-
ment was not indicated.
Under the terms of the contract,
which became operative on April /,
the Brooklyn Ash Removal Company
is to build three incinerators at a
cost of $1,000,000. These will be sub
ject to recapture by the city on ex-
piration of the five-year contract. and
payment by the city of seventy-five
per cent of the original cost-that is,
if by that time legal action does not
prevent.
When it was developed through
evidence taken at Commissioner of
Accounts Higgins open hearings
that work on these disposal plants
had not been begun, Comptroller Ber-
ry held up payment of $260,000 due
on last years contract and approx
mately $4,000 due for work per-
formed this year.

TAILORS LOCKED
OUT, betrayed
Hillman Is Jeered at
Local Meeting

make a general reduction in wages.
This, they said, was due them because
the union officials had allowed wage
cuts in all other crafts of the industry.
''Piece Work For Contractors"
The representatives of the New
York Clothing Manufacturers Ex-
change yesterday made a demand at
the conferences for a new agreement
that Hillman and the other leaders
of the corrupted Amalgamated, grant
the contractors of the large manu-
facturers the privileges of introducing
the sweat-shop system of piece-work
The union officials had voluntarily
granted this, hated system of produc-
ton to the larger bosses despite the
vehement opposition of the entire
membership.
AS a result of the lockout another
section of the membership of the
Amalgamated, according to the senti-
ment bitterly expressed by many
tailors. yesterday, now have the OPP
portunity to enjoy the fruits of the
policy of the graft systems leaders,
in allowing bosses, individually and
collectively to put over wage cuts
and other such privileges = for a
consideration"
Jeer Hillman.
This, and far franker sentiments
were expressed at a meeting of the
locked-out workers held Tuesday
night, and which also went on record
as having greeted the entrance of
their President Hillman Awith jeers
and catcalls. At this meeting, rank
and filters openly declared that not
only was it the bosses who were re-
sponsible for the lockout, but also
the machine in control of the union
here, which has granted boss after
boss permission to reduce the work
ers' wages.
Where is was too difficult to put
over wage cut, or GOO OBVIOUSLY a
sell-out, the graft ring, members
charge, would see to it that lock
out was made. In this manner the
officials would receive less blame fol-
captivating to the bosses demand
for wage reduction.
Know of Graft,
As to the demand of the employers
agents at the negotiations for a new
contract, workers in discussions SCI
themselves between the devil anc
the deep sea-" Even if Hillman viii
not grant the bosses demand fol
piece work in the contractors shops
they argue. they will get that per.
mission individually. In support OF
this, they refer to the statement:
made public yesterday that Hillmar
knows of the fact that there are
agents. of the graft ring already or
the payroll of the bosses associations
and individual firms who want piece
work privileges.

Four Thugs Released.


Four of the six thugs employed by
the right wing Joint Council, who
were on trial in General Sessions,
Part 6, for knitting Meyer Fmeman,
a fur worker, had the charges against
them quashed by Judge Collins before
the case went to the jury. The trial
of "Big Alex" Fried, ex-burglar and
A.. F. of L. agent in the destructive
attacks against the furriers union,
and Harry Pitt. Fried's assistant in
assaults on workers, is to be continued
today.
Fried spent a few uncomfortable
moments on the witness stand yester-
day, when he was compelled to admit
under cross-examination that he had
served three years and six months in
prison for burglarizing a jewelry
store in Boston. Otherwise he came
well provided with witnesses as to his
good character" Harry Weckstein
and M. Bader of Bader and Eisenberg,
fur manufacturers, obligingly testi-
fled to that. Two cloak manufacture
ers came to testify that the eye-wit-
nesses of Fried's brutal assault were
mistaken" They said that Fried
was in their shop at the time, making
a 'loan" of $100.

place Grand Duke Cyril on "his right
full throne in Russia" and of making
gasoline from garbage, is-reported to
have been taken to the Bellevue
hospital last night in serious con-

been convicted by a jury in federal
court on all four counts of an indict-
ment charging the use Of the mails
to defraud.
His private physicians announced
that he was suffering from gastritis

Tins, who hale become rather skep-
teal of these sudden illnesses that in
variably attack wealthy criminals

POSTPONE CASES
OF TWO STUDENTS
Both Are Members of
Young Workers League

The cases of Jonas Schiffman, IS
years old, of "a East 18th ST., and
Nathan R. Adler, 10 years old, Of
1904 Moynton Ave-, the Bronx, both
of whom are members of the Young
Workers (Communist) League, were
postponed yesterday by Magistrate
Stern, of the Morrisania Court. They
were arrested last Friday in demon
stration held on the campus of the
College of the City of New York to
protest against the expulsion of Simon
w. Gerson, member of the Young
Workers (Communist) League, presi-
dent of the Social Problems Club of
the college, and leader for several
years in the fight against military
training in the college. Magistrate
Stern said that the court decision
concerning their guilt, had not yet
been "arrived at" The youths are
both former students of the college.
The actual reason for their arrests
was that both of them were members
of the Young Workers (Communist)
League and carried placards during
the protest meeting calling upon the
students to fight the teaching of i'm
-perialism in the schools. The "effi-
cial" charge against them, as made
by Professor Frederick Skene, one of
the most persistent jingoes of the
City College Faculty, is disorderly
conduct, and the fact that they took
part in the demonstration on the cam,
pus when they were not enrolled as
students in the school.

Two MORE CLOAK
SHOPS ON STRIKE
Cloak Picket Arrested;
Held in $500 Bail :

The newly inaugurated offensive of
the cloak and dressmakers for the re-
establishment of union over the
heads of the sSigman lcrew gathers
momentum daily, as more shops are
declared on strike by the left wing
Joint Board Cloakmakers' Union. In
addition to the two already tied up
by strikes, the Classy Cloak Company,
553 Eighth Ave-, and the Coat Craft
Company, BAT W. 9th St., were also
declared ON strike.
At the buildings where all these
shops are located, large picket lines
marched back and forth despite the
concentration of police who have
made many arrests. The other two
shops are Shapiro and Sons, 1888
Broadway, and Dressler and Freed
man, 104 w. 9th st.
J. Benkal, a cloakmaker, was ar
rested while picketing the latter shop.
He was later freed on $500 bail pend
ing trial in the Jefferson Market
Court later.
The Classy Cloak Co. had locked
out its entire shop of 40 workers, in
an effort to escape Joint Board con-
troll. The Coat Craft Co. had dis
charged eight workers for refusal to
register in the Sigman scab union.
The Joint Board appeals to all
workers, realizing the necessity for
struggle in order to regain the union
standards destroyed by the right
wing and the employers, to join in
