against the strikers, as we'll as the
other workers in the industry. The
strikers, militant members of the
union point out, should at once de-
mand that a large strike committee
be formed representing the workers
on the job.
The demands of the strikers are
an increase in wages which will
bring them up to the prevailing
scale as set by the city administra-
ton.
The strikers also demand wash
wagons or other places where the
workers can change from their
working clothes and take a bath be-
] fore going home; hot coffee for the
men who are working hundreds of
feet underground; safety devices
and provisions to prevent drowning
should the pumps clog or break.
Demand More Pay.
At present the rock drillers are
paid 81 an hour; helpers, 80 cents
an hour, and laborers 65 cents an
hour. The drillers want S1.37 an
hour and helpers and laborers ST..
an hour.
An attempt is being made to have
the engineers and blasters' unions
join the strike and tie up the con-
struction work completely. The
strikers were working on a tunnel
being built from Croton to Brook
Ign.
Aligned With Tammany Hall.
The Patrick McGovern Construc-
ton Co., against whom the workers
are striking, is not giving the pre-
vailing rates of wages, although the
Tammany Hall administration is
paying the contractors more than
100000 for the job. The Tam.
many Hall politicians are also pay
ing the company bonus for speed
ing up the workers. Out of 1,469
paid the contractor as a bonus, only
S201 is given to the workers, to be
divided between "a drillers. Nc
bonus is given to the other work
ers.
1t is rumored that former Gov
ernor Smith and Mayor Walker are
shareholders in the McGovern Cor
poration, which is making huge
profits for it's owners at the ex-
pense of the workers.

Philadelphia
at Mansfield

The designation of philadelphia"
the S. John Park play now running
at the Mansfield Theatre, as a
"melodramatic farce" is a bit mis-
leading, perhaps made purposely so.
For while a broad streak of melo-
drama is there, and the rib-racking
humor is guaranteed to send the
customers out into the night with
virulent hic-cups, it's theme is too
close to home for either melodrama
or farce.
But it is only afterward that this
is borne in upon you-rolling in the
aisles of the Mansfield, there is
little enough chance to give the
matter thought. Also, philadelphia"
by any other name would be as up
roarous, and as true. 1t may have
been suggested by the disclosures
of the August Grand Jury in the
sleepy city last year, but corrup-
ton in high places is the marrow
of the capitalist system everywhere.
The plot gets under way with
Crawford, Harvard graduate,
whose head is stuffed with such
blowsy ideals as abstract "justice"
and equity" having his eyes opened
to the real character of Bradford,
the senior member of the law firm
in which he has bought partner
ship. Immediately after giving the
young idealist spiel on the value
of honesty and integrity, and spout
ing to high heaven that the firm

Plan Organization of
Metal Trades at Meet

Plans for the organization of the
workers in the basic metal indus
tries in New York and New Jer-
sey were outlined at a successful
meeting held Tuesday night, under
the auspices of the Metal Workers
Industrial League, at Irving Plaza,
18th st. and Irving Pl.
Delegates from many of the big
basic industries in the New York
area were present. The program
adopted at the Cleveland Trade
Union Unity Convention was out
lined by John Schmies, assistant
secretary of the Trade Union Unity
League, and Andrew Overgaard,
national secretary of the Metal
Workers Industrial League. The
workers present discussed the con-
ditions in the shops and program
for New York and New Jersey.
About fifty workers signed appll-
cations for membership in the

the Lovestone group, did not dare
to get up and speak about excep-

Referring to Palestine, Weinstone
stated that the recent attacks on
the Party for it's exposure of the
imperialist aims of the Zionists and
its support of the Arabian and
Jewish toiling masses, is an indica-
ton of what the Party will face

turing stories on Gastonia. The
Pittsburgh Courier, another large
weekly, has displayed considerable
interest in the case. Smaller news
papers, outside the metropolitan

with the fate of the 16 unionists,

BROOKHART SAYS
SMOOT ATTENDED
DRINKING PARTY
Prohibition Dept Pro
tects Hotels

WASHINGTON, Sept, %. -
story of a sensational dinner at
which some of the distinguished
guests inbibed from pocket TASKS
was told the senate today by Sem
ator Bookhart, republican, Iowa.
He named Senator Smoot, Utah,
chairman of the finance committee,
as having been present.
Senator Howell, republican, Neb.,
had been replying to President
Hoover's request for specific in
formation of liquor law violations
here when the dinner incident was
related.
Howell read a secret prohibition
report, submitted in 1927 but not
acted upon by officials, to show that
at one hotel at least guests drank
from TASKS.
Claimed Protection.
The report said that an official
of the hotel company Dragged that
Lincoln C. Andrews, then in charge
of prohibition, and other officials
were friends of his.
A verbose discussion ensued
among senator's. Smoot asked
Howell if such friendships existed.
Brookhart asked Smoot if he had
seen any bootleggers Eat dinners
given by Wall Street men" for new
senators. Smoot said he had not,
Brookhart. said he had seen them,
and that Smoot had been present
at the time. give never seen any
drinking any place." said Smoot.
Perhaps Smoot was so busy he
couldn't see the others drinking.
Brookhart named a prominent
hotel at which, he said, New York
er, named Fahey, gave a get to-
gether" senatorial dinner.
Howell said he thought President
Hoover had been "little unfair" in
asking for specific facts on liquor
law violations. What he had re-
peated, he said, was common in
formation about conditions. How
ever, he said, he had unearthed the
secret report. 1t was not very
exciting description of a scene at
hotel night club where liquor was
consumed by quests, and where a
head waiter assisted in removing a
stubborn flask-top. The agent said
an official of the hotel called him
aside, accused him of being a pro-
hibition agent, ad warned him of the
officials friendship with prohibition
officials.

touch a case in which the fright"
is not on its side, the sly hound I'M
dertakes to wangle divorce for a
beautiful blonde whose husband OBJ
jects to her having boy friend.
1t soon transpires that the office
is the pay-off, the go-between for
the city's racketeers and its political
powers. Bradford pockets twenty
grand given him to fix the prosecut-
ing attorney and obtain the freedom
of one of the gangs gunner who
is up for murder. Another gunman
is sent to get the graft back when
the murderer is found guilty. Brad
ford tricks the receipt for the $780,
900 away from the envoy, then tells
him to chase himself. The gunman
pulls a rod and fires.
Crawford, who has apparently
seen the light, rushes in, takes the
case, grabs the twenty grand, splits
it with the police inspector and the
coroner, and Bradford comes to.
The younger lawyer plays the
others game in order to get his
hands on the discriminating records
and bring his crooked partner to
book, but as it turns out-well, the
management has requested its pat
rons to keep secret the surprise end
ing, which involves the identity of
the mysterious "X," head of the
racketeer ring.
