Says 5000 May Join
Calvary Gravediggers
In Sympathy WalkOut

A sympathetic walkout of 5000
members of the Cemetery Workers
Union looms in Brooklyn and Queens
as attempts failed to "arbitrate"
the strike of the $50 grave diggers
of Calvary cemetery.
Joseph Di Fiore, vice-president of
the union said yesterday this walk
out would come soon unless the
workers demands for a wage scale
of S42 for six-day week were met.
Meanwhile, funerals at Cavalry
cemetery yesterday brought the
number of unburied to about 25O.
Through special dispensation from
the Board of Health coffins here
after will be inferred temporarily in
two large trenches dug by strike
breakers for the emergency.

OVER CRUISERS
Hoover Quiet While
Senate Advises More

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-Presi-
dent Hoover, having made his grand
stand play about reducing the navy,
and having reaped the plaudits of
the pacifists, now watches cynically
while the senate and house naval
committees proceed to demonstrate
how he will mot be allowed" to re-
duce the navy any. Nobody who
knew that this peace offensive was
but a prelude to organization of a
more efficient war machine ever ex-
pected the reduction to take place,
though some of the money approprip
ated might be shifted from cruisers
to the more modern and more de-
structive airplanes.
To Build Cruisers, Too.
But no official interferes either
with the naval committees propa-
ganda for bigger and better cruiser
fleets.
The ranking democrat on the SEN
ate naval committee, Swanson of
Virginia, chairman of that powerful
committee during the war, has join
ed the republican chairmen of the
house and senate naval committees
in opposing the Presidents order on
the ground that he has exceeded
his authority"

ASSAULT VICTIM

Responsibility for the lnurderous
assault upon Jack Jacobs. a cloak

at the door of the Intern ational La

"The cold-blooded assault On an
innocent worker" the statement
says, Twill bring to further light the
entire conspiracy of the Schlesinger-
Dubinsky and the A. F. of L. clique
to force their rule on the workers
at the point of guns and black
jacks. The fact that they have to
resort to these methods only ex-
poses the fraud of their statements
that the workers are flocking to
their ranks and that they control
all the workers in the industry"
The statement follows:
"The murderous attack on one of
our members, Jack Jacobs, near the
firm of Schwartz & Saltzberg, 131

PLAN TO HOC-TIE
BUILDING UNIONS
Class peace" Scheme
AS Lockout Looms

BUILDINGS & & & "A
The creation of an economic
straitjacket-in the form of So
called machinery for settling dis
putes in the building trades-this is
proposed in a preliminary report
made public today by the Conference
Committee of the Building Industry.
This apparatus would be COM
posed of representatives of the "in-
vestors, employers and labor" and
is compared with the apparatus in
the cloak industry by which the
manufacturers have just about their
own way by the existence of COM
pany unions, impartial chairmen
who pull down $4,000 a year, and
the gracious services of Governors
Commissions who, at periodic inter-
walls, strip the workers of whatever
concessions they may have won over
long years of struggle.
Lockout Looms.
The present proposal is made on
the heels of the announcement by
the Building Trades Employers AS
sociation that they have called off
the five-hour day ostensibly granted
the building trades workers in May
just before the threat of a lockout
hung for nearly two weeks over the
heads of $4,000 workers in the trade.
Following injunction proceedings on
the part of one of the building
trades unions, the builders agreed
to arbitration" on the part of JUS
tice Crain-proceedings which looked
suspiciously staged.
Just now the lockout looms once
more. With the building season
waning, and with thousands of
workers unemployed, the revival of
the lockout threat is quite possible.
The building trades section of the
Trade Union Educational League
has repeatedly warned of this pos
sibiity, and .ss urged the immediate

Conference w Wednesday
at St. Luke's Hall

The masses of Harlem, compelled
to exist in ill-ventilated, disease
breeding, unsanitary buildings and
endure the most horrible crowding
conditions because of the exorbitant
rents of the landlords are preparing
to Immediately open a militant
fight against housing and rent
denominations.
Will Discuss Tenants Strike.
A conference of the Harlem Ten
ants League called to meet .Wednes-
day evening in st. Luke's Hall, 125
w. 130th St., will discuss the hous-
ing condition, with especial refer
ence to the living conditions of the
Negro and Latin American popula-
ton and will raise the question OF
the ACCESSIBILITY of rent strike.
This is of special significance now
because of the approach of winter
when suffering is intense and the
death rate mounts rapidly. At the
same time the greedy and avaricious
landlords have taken advantage Of
the abolition of the emerge ncy rent
laws to boost prices up $i0, $50, $50
and even as high as $50 above the
price formerly paid.

GASTONIA, NC, Aug. 4.-There
was a total attendance of over

meetings of the National Textile
Workers Union, held in Belmont.
Bessemer City, Kings Mountain and
Gastonia.
The Saturday night meeting in the
tent colony at Gastonia was very
successful. 1t was under the joint
auspices of the union, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense and the Work
ers international Relief.
Amy Schechter, Vera Bush and
Sophie Melvin, recently released on
bail and still charged with murder
in the second degree, appeared and
were given a great reception at this,
as at the other meetings they at
tended.
The campaign for a huge repre-
sentation at the General Southern
Textile Conference at Charlotte Oc-
tober II goes on during the drive
of the union for larger membership.
Headquarters of the N. 7. w. are
now established in Kings Mountain
and at Belmont, where a clearing
in the center of the woods has been
leased. The owner stated he would
rot be intimidated into refusing the
union the use of the land.
Organizing is revived at the Ark
lay mill, Gastonia. In South Gas
tonia the union leased lot near
five mills owned by Mayor Rankin,
one of the largest enemies of the
union and of the 90 scheduled for
electrocution or penitentiary by the
mill bosses.
Rex Boss Checked.
The boss at the Rex mill has
backed down in the face of the or
ganized opposition to his eviction
policy, and has stopped turning
workers out of his company houses
because of membership in the union.
The workers will go back Monday
at the Rex mill with stronger and
better organized union. The at
tempt of the management to precipi-
tate premature strike and create
dissension has failed.
