HOOVER silent
ON HIS PART IN
SUGAR CRAFT
Unfortunate Incident ,
Pleads Wood for Pres.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Hoover
remains silent on his part in help
ing his friend and personal attor-
ney, Edwin Shattuck, earn $4,000
graft from the Cuba Co. because of
the strings he could pull with the
imperialist chief.
The Cuba Co. owns $170,000,000
worth of sugar properties in Cuba,
and is one of the leading imperial
ist powers in that country. Bloody
Machado, the murderer of Mella,
and hundreds of other militant
workers, co-operates very closely
with the Cuba Co. lobby.
Representatives. of the rich farm
.ers i'm Congress, whose interests
conflict with the sugar trusts, have
been criticizing Hoover's open con-
nection with the sugar trust. While
several republican leaders have
made lame answers for Hoover's
outright aid to the sugar grafters,
the Wall Street president, remains
shy and silent about his part in the
graft ring.
viii r. Wood, chairman of the ma
tional republican congressional COM
mittee, is trying to whitewash
Hoover's implication in the sugar
lobby graft ring. Trying to explain
Hoover's shyness in the face of a
bombaEdment of criticism and ex-
posure, Wood says
"The president has no defense
against these unfortunate incidents,
except to close the doors to all
comers and become a political re-
cluse."
"These unfortunate Incidents" is
the exposure of documents showing
the presidents aid to the lobby
grafters. Wood does not deny that
the sugar imperialists and their
grating crew had an open door to
the presidential chambers, and that
Hoover used his legal and illegal
influence in pressing the demands
of the sugar robbers.

BULLETIN.

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 23.--
The National executive board of
the National Textile Workers
Union today discussed and planned
the immediate struggles in the
Southern, Paterson and New Bed
ford fields. 1t was decided to rush
more organizers into the South.
A bureau of the board, consisting
of five members. to be ready for
call between the sessions of the
executive board, was elected. 1t
consists of James Reid, Clarence
Miller, Sophie Melvin, Rappoport
and Lieb. The board will issue a
statement and program tomorrow.
PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 23.-
While the bulk Of the more than 200
delegates to the Second National
Convention of the National Textile
Workers Union are streaming back,
too, as one Georgia delegate said,
represent this convention to the
workers." and plunge into the storm
of organization work the convention
decided upon, the executive board of
the union is in session here today.
1t is arranging details and finding
ways and means for a united drive
into both the Southern cotton in
dustry and the silk industry. 1t is
not neglecting other fields, but these
two are the central points of attack
at present.
The national executive board is a
body of rank and filers, the product
of a number of changes in the cons
titution of the union, all deliberately
intended to base the entire union on
mill locals, with rank and file con-
troll throughout. The city organiza-
tions are for the most part abol-
ished, and the "area," an organiZa-
ton based on mill groups in the
same industry, is substituted.
Negro Department.
Other important decisions of the
convention are that a special Negro
organizational department is to be
created, and youth department.
This does not mean that Negro work
ers will be placed in separate locals.
1t means that special organizers
and special leaflets, ETC., will be got
out for them, and the fact recog-
nized that Negro workers are pecu-
liarly exploited and oppressed, par
ticularly in the South, and need
special attention.
The national officers of the union
elected at the convention are simply
a broad, representative council of Al.

all branches of the industrys and
from all parts of the field. This

Says Shoe Toilers Must

Bigger Picket Lines Is
the Answer

The u. S. labor department
started the lockout of % shoe shops
in the New York area by sending
through U. S. Commission of "COn-
citation" Charles G. Wood, letter
to the bosses advising them to
break their contracts with the In
dependent Shoe Workers Union.
On Dec. II, it was announced yes
terday by the union, Wood sent an
other letter to the bosses, for the
purpose of having them print it in
the italian capitalist and right wing
newspapers, in which he repeats
his former attacks on the union, and
and further tries to convince the
workers that their strike is lost,
and still further, threatens with
deportation to death in fascist Italy
all who dare to strike under the
leadership of the union.
This direct rike-breaking action
of the U. S. government comes i'm
mediately after the organization by
President Hoover of his Grand Fas-
cist Council, participated in by A.
F. L. bureaucrats, like William
Green. Green promises not to al
low any movements among the
workers for wage increases during
the present period of crisis, ration
alization, speed-up and wage cuts
and unemployment.
Commissioner Wood in his letter
of Dec. II, declares in horror that
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union is mot labor movement like

tects the rights of all law-abiding
citizens and movements"

of the fascist council will have
trouble convincing the shoe work
ers who see the government, from

they mean added misery for the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Wo-
mems wages in chain stores aver
age $12 to SIS a week, according
to a report of the Women's Bureau
of the Department of Labor.
For these miserably low wages
the women work as high as go hours
per week. The Women's Bureau
made a study of 5000 women en-
ployed in chain department stores
in 18 states and reported that so
per cent of the women received SIS
a week and 40 per cent $12.
The average wage in many states
was So a week. In its figures the
Department of Labor always colors
the facts to give the bosses the
best end of it, and to make the
workers conditions appear as rosy
as possible.
Another report by the same de-
partment of women workers in Flo
rida showed that Negro women were
being exploited under the worst
conditions. Of 1896 Negro working
women studied, the average wage
was $6.65 per week for 60 hour
week.
The survey covered nearly 5000
working women in Florida. The
average hours of work for all wo-
men employed in Florida was more
than nine hours per day. The wages
for all women workers is very low,
averaging about $15.sO .per week,
with good many receiving $500
per week for 60 hours of work.
