ACTIVE CLOAK
WORKERS Will
MEET TONIGHT
Fake Stoppage Call is
Expected Soon

A special meeting of all active
cloakmakers will be held tonight at
6 o'clock in Webster Hall, 18th st.
and Third Ave. The meeting is be-
ing called by the Joint Board of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union to consider the present sit
uation in the cloak trade, and par
ticularly the fake stoppage being en-
gineered by the cloak manufacturers
and its company union. Leaders of
the Industrial Union will speak.
The call for the "strike" is ex-
pected sometime this week-or as
soon as the samples and duplicates
for the manufacturers are COM
pleted. The stoppage was due to
come off last week, but suddenly all
propaganda for it ceased. What was
the reason? The bosses weren't
ready for it-they needed fore
samples and duplicates.
For the past few weeks, all the
trade journals of the bosses,
Women's Wear, Daily News Record,
and the generous New York Times
all were whooping it up for the
strike. The bosses, curiously, are
eager for this move, and Just as
soon as they are ready they will give
the signal to the chiefs of their com
pany union, Shlesinger, Dubinskv
and Breslau. The Scalp will then
be issued.
Meanwhile, the Industrial Union is
pointing out to the cloakmakers that
the stoppage is move for the col.
lection of thousands of dollars and
assessments and campaign on the
part OF the big manufacturers to cor
game" the small shops for their
own benefit. The Industrial Union
urges the cloakmakers to convert the
rase strike into real strike for
union conditions under its leadership.

WASHINGTON, June While
President Hoover went through the
formality of asserting that "he was
pleased at the approach of a new
arms limitation conference" the
causes and weapons of war con-
tinued to pile up over the week end.
The U. S. navy department issued
orders for the construction of two
new cruisers of 10000 tons each.
One is to be built by the Puget
Sound Navy Yard, and the other by
the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration, the combined cost to be
about $20,000,000.
The Washington administration
expressed considerable satisfaction
with the proposal in two British
papers that the British West In
dian Notifications, a direct threat
to U. S. Imperialism, be abandoned.
But it is noticed that the bulk of
the British press does not join in
this request, and that the Mac
Donald government makes no state
ment on it.
Meanwhile the most influential Of
London papers, the Times, in Sat-
urday's issue calls for tariff war
by England on the U. s., saying,
''The tariff bill as it left the House
probably is the most extreme mea-
sure of protection ever proposed by
a modern state" and emphasizes
that though 20 nations object to it,
it seems to be aimed especially at
England.

Mexican rebel headquarters al
Nogales, Sonora, expected another
federal air raid today. While plans
for defense were being made, re-
ports reached here that the adj

Sonora, had been ordered back to
aid in stemming the advance of
feGerals through Pulpito Pass from

Two skirmishes were said to have
taken place on the eastern slope
OF the Sierra Madre mountains,
presumably near the eastern end
CT the pass.
Preparations against further at
tacl-s on Nogales rebel headquar-

millimetre guns were mounted at
the highest point in the Mexican
town.
Sven bombs were dropped by a

SPUD PRICE IS
HIKE TO SITS
Association Officials Are
Pleased With Result OF
Control Efforts

With the boosting Of potato
prices early Friday to $2.75 per 100
pounds cash to growers, officials
of the Rio Grande Potato Grow
ers association began to say, Il
told you So"
The demand for Valley potatoes
is stroBA and in the face Of rec
ord breaking shipments the past
three days. buyers are reported to
have more orders than they can
I'LL. On Tuesday 1C2 cars Of VAL
ley potatoes were shipped. a record
number. The total for Wednesday
was 80 car and railroads report
81 rolled Thursday.
About three weeks ago when the
market on Valley potatoes was
badly demoralized, Fred Latham
and other association officials is
sued a statement that if the
growers would hold up on ship
ments and not sell under the asso-
citation price that the market would
be stabilized.
At that time Florida growers
were receiving much more for their
potatoes than was being paid VAL
ley growers, because they were
sticking by their association" Of
ficials here said.
Needing this warning, growers
slowed up on shipments and be-
gan refusing offers below the asSo-
citation prices. which was s. at that
time, the lowest price Of the sea-
son.
The price has been increased
three times since that and the
market still is absorbing all offer
ings.
About 1000 cars Of potatoes have
been shipped from the Valley this
season and it is estimated that the
1500-car total Of last year will be
approached very closely when the
crop all is moved. This yield has
been taken from an acreage esti-
mated to be about 1000 acres less
than last year.
