ruin and chaos wrought by the Hill
man terror clique. sixteen years
ago we revolted against Rickert and
his gang in the United Garment
Workers and with untold sacrifices
began the building of a real union,
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers. The workers, by their heroic
struggles and sacrifices, built up
powerful union which now, under
the leadership of Hillman and his
corrupt henchmen, has been trans
formed into a company union. The
time has come when a new revolt
and a new struggle have become
necessary"
Big Drop in Membership.
Hourwitz discussed in detail the
frightful conditions in the shops and
the corruption that has permeated
every part of the union machinery.
He pointed out that from $4,000
dues-paying members in New York
City in 1923. the number has now
decreased to only 5000, thanks to
the class collaboration tactics and
the terror and expulsion campaign
of the Hillman machine.
Other speakers gave further de-
tails of the open alliance of the Hill
man clique with the bosses and
called on the workers to strike a
mighty blow for their emancipation
from these leeches. All the speak
ers were greeted with great enthusi-
assn.
Gold Brings Greetings.
Bringing a message of solidarity
from their brother needle trades
workers, those of the ladies' gar
rnent industry, Ben Gold, secretary
treasurer of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, was
given thunderous ovation. Gold
told of the preparations being made
by the fur workers to establish
union conditions by means of their
coming general strike and declared
that only by militant struggle will
the mems clothing workers be able
to emancipate themselves.
A resolution was adopted calling
for a consolidation of all progress
sive forces under the leadership of
the Trade Union Educational
League, for the launching of an en-
ergetic struggle against explosions
and for one industrial union to in
clude all needle trades workers.

COMMUNISTS Nit
BOXLEY LYNCHING
Negro Dept Calls for
Solidarity

A call to Negro and white work.
ers to answer the brutal lynching in
Tennessee last Wednesday of Joe
BoXley, a Negro farm laborer, by
mob helped and melted by white Of
ficers of the law, is contained in
statement issued by the National
Negro Department of the Commu-
mist Party of America. The state
ment follows:
The lynching of Joe Boxley, aged
IS, and a Negro, Alamo, in Tenn. by a
mob of more than 1000 is a direct
attack not only against the oppressed
Negro race but against the entire
working class.
Organized workers of America
must now take a decisive stand in
mobilizing their membership in mass
protest meetings turnout the coun-
try against such brutal acts against
member of their class.
The capitalist newspapers try to
justify the lynching of Boxley, stat
ing that he made an assault on the
magistrates wife "a white woman"
In order to justify the vanity of
white supremacy, Boxley, an inno-
cent Negro was lynched.
The events in Gastonia and Ten
ressee have shown that lynch law
has become a standard weapon
against the working class and it's
organizers.
Blame A. F. of L. Misleaders.
The lynching of this young Negro
is partly the fault of the A. F. of L.,
which as closed eyes for decades
while the Negro brothers were tor
tured, and burnt at the stake, by
such vicious organizations as the
Ku Klux Khan and the American
Legion.
Negro workers, along with their
class-conscious white brothers and
sisters in the new left wing trade
unions, and the Communist Party
of America, are fighting to put a
stop to these dastardly cold blooded
murders by organizing new militant
trade unions that will drive terror
into the hearts Of the exploiters.
The Communist Party, the histori-
cal leader of the American working
class, calls upon every class con-
scious worker, black and white, to
wage merciless campaign against
the A. F. of l.. bureaucracy for mill
tant industrial trade union in Ameri-
ca, that will be capable of rallying
the workers in militant struggle
against the present system of race
and class oppression.
The class conscious white workers
of America are once more put to
test to show their real class soli-
darity with the oppressed Negro
workers of America in their strug-
gle against race discrimination,
segregation, lynching, disfranchise-
=, ment, Jim Crowism and all forms of
capitalist exploitation. The Ameri-
can Negro Labor Congress, the mill
tant Negro organization also pledges
itself to fight shoulder to shoulder
with all militant trade unions in the
United States as well as along with
the Communist Party, the leader of
the American working class and the
oppressed Negroes of America
against capitalist imperialism.

used, on which the lives Of the men
depend.
Workers Complained.
Weak welding in the air pressure
line, which regulates the pressure
under which the "sandhogs" work
beneath the surface of the river,
was the cause of the explosion, which
buried the six workers alive in the
mud of the river bottom. The COM
pany must have known of the weak
welding, for the day crew, which
was relieved by the night crew less
than ten minutes before the blast,
had complained all day of a sizzling
noise, which could have been caused
only by a weakness in the air pres
sure line.
Nothing Criminal" Says Official.
"There was nothing criminal about
the accident" declared Inspector
John J. Underwood, of the Jersey
City police force, a lackey of the
democratic political car Frank
Hague, who has often been accused
of being in the pay of the construc-
ton companies. "There was no vio-
lation of the state CODE" Under
wood declared.
The weak welding was part of the
makeshift apparatus in the caisson,
which the construction company left
in disrepair in its haste to complete
the job quickly, to increase its prof
its.
Mother, Children, Left Helpless.
Her young body racked with sobs,
Mrs. Mary Headly, the 19-year-old
wife of Jack Headly, kept pacing up
and down in front of her home at
116 Tonnele Ave, pushing her 49,
months-old baby boy in a carriage.
Neighbors had tried to make her go
to bed all Thursday and Friday
night, but Mrs. Headly refused. She
told reporter that she is again
about to become mother, and said,
"What will we do now?" The young
couple were from Detroit, and had
been in Jersey City but two months.
Unemployment in Detroit had driven
them east, she stated.

in this state. These are the farce
probes of the State Labor Commits
sion and the State Highway Com
mission.
Over Is Deaths flushed Up.
In the course of the farce probes
by these lackeys of the construc-
ton bosses, it leaked out that at
least 10 "sandhogs" were killed in
the construction of the Holland
Vehicular Tunnel, completed last
year between Jersey City and Man
haitian, and that thus far several"
of these workers have been killed
on the construction OF the Fort Lee
to upper Manhattan Bridge. All
these murders have been white
washed.

Sen ator Walcott was reported to have approved of the choice of Alcorn or at least to have taken the stand that he knew of no reason why AL corn should not receive the berth.
 Roraback is believed to have turned his thumbs down on Alcorn because the latter opposed the ap- pointment to the same office sever- al years ago of the late Judge George W. Klett of this city, one of Roraback's favorite proteges. Church organizations supported the

WILSON SUGGESTS
 H|BBEN A HERETIC
Says Princeton Presidents Be-
 liefS Novel Affair

Philadelphia, Nov. 1 (UP) = A suggestion that he felt Dr. John Grier Hibben, president of Prince ton university, might be heretcal, was voiced by Prof. Robert Dick Wilson. former professor in the Princeton Theological seminary as quoted today by the Philadelphia Record.
 Prof. Wilson resigned from Princeton seminary to identify him self with the newly organized West minister Theological seminary of Philadelphia as a protest against al legged modernistic tendencies of the seminary. His charges against Dr. Hibben were called forth by the Princeton presidents speech before the centennial celebration of the Presbyterian Theological seminary at Chicago two days ago.
 "Dr, Hibben quotes the scripture when it pleases," Prof. Hibben was quoted as saying, but even the devil did that.
 If everyone is to make his own God, then the very idea of God is destroyed. God wouldn't have any power in His own universe. We get our idea of God from the scriptures President Hibben said man creat- ed his own God. He attacks the be- liefs of not only the Presbyterian church, but of all Trinitarian churches, whether Catholic or Pro- testant.

| touched on October ?. That was in ascribed more to use of funds for l financing undigested securities than l to market operations.
 Yesterday the federal reserve board at Washington reported a de- cline of s1,096, 100000, bringing the
 total down to s5,53S, 100000. the | lowest point since the week of June
 12 when it was $5,2S4,000.0 A year ago this week the figure was at | $4,907,164, ,00O.
 That drastic decline of more than billion dollars was the largest the figure has ever fallen in d single
 week. It indicated the enormous amount of liquidation in the stock 1 market. The interesting item in the loan report was the contraction of nearly two billion dollars by indi- viduals, corporations and out Of town banks and a sharp increase in loans by New York banks.
 This weeks decline in brokerage
 loans eliminates that figure as a
 market factor on the bear side and
 places it temporarily on the bull side
 of the ledger.
 Another contributing cause of the decline was wiped out also yester-
 day. On August the rediscount
 late was advanced to per cent
 from , per cent. That helped tight
 en credit, prevent gold shipments
 from London and started the selling
 ball rolling. Yesterday, the rate was
 set back to per cent following a
 decline in the Bank of England rate from 6 F to per cent.

of political parties from the con- alterations which will weigh with him in forming a cabinet.
 Any government which faces the French chamber is obliged to be @ government of parties. M. Daladier and M. Clementel failed to establish government based on the left and center of the chamber. M. Tardieu is now attempting to found one on the right and right center. Some newspapers have acused M Daladier of wrecking M. Clemen- tel's attempt yesterday by insisting on receiving the portfolio of the in terior. This ministry which holds l they key to the internal political situation in France. will be aban- ! doned by the radicals only after a very bitter fight. M. Tardieu himself | held the post in the resigned Briand ministry.
 M. Tardieu's friends envisaged the possibility that M. Clementel's fail ure will split the radical party and permit the formation of a union gov ernment with support from conserv- alive deputies.
 In any case, despite NJ. Tardieu' S statements that he will disregard party lines, he wants the support of the radicals. and especially of the right wing of the party. He plans to offer portfolios to a number of prominent members of this group.
 On the other hand, the groups in the center who voted against M Briand's ministry. have made it plain that they expect satisfaction on their demand for discussion of policy at the Hague conference be- fore they will support the new min- istry.
 Steering Difficult Course
 M. Tardieu is thus navigating be- tween Scylla and Charybdis. If he goes too far to the left, which would be against his own affiliations, the ce1ter will withdraw it's support, even by attacking M. Briand If he goes too far to the right, he will antagonize the radical socialists and lack sufficient votes to command the chamber.
 Should he fail. M. Maurice Sar- raut, radical leader who commands wide respect and confidence, is the most probable candidate for the premiership, in view of M. Briand's refusal to consider it. Maurice Sar- raut is the brother of Albert Sar- raut, M. Poincare's minister of the interior.

 Other heavy losers in the reaction included Consolidated Gas l.. S. Steel, Standard Oil of New Jersey, and Union Carbide. All these had more than half billion taken from market value.
 Issues Still Lower
 At the end of the trading Thurs day, the weekly table still showed nearly every issue lower. But losses had been cut down sharply. A few of those remaining ranged to 50 points. Hooking Valley lost 100 for the week and Detroit Edison lost 70. Elsewhere there were a few dozen down 25 or 30 points, but the major ity did not exceed 10 and many were under that. Hundreds of new lows for the year or longer were made in the decline early in the week.
 The causes of the decline and re- coyery are many and varied. Some date back a month or more to the Hatry failure in London and subse- quent selling of American securities by Europeans. The main difficulty lay in the reckless upbidding of our stocks, thus building a dizzy credit structure that bankers had warned would have to topple.
 Brokerage loans had been carried up to the almost unbelievable sum of s6,S04, 100000 mostly to carry stocks on margin.
