CALLS EXPERTS.
Stock Collapse Serious;
Want to Cut Wages

The seriousness of the collapse
in the stock market and the begin
ming of an industrial crisis was
further revealed yesterday by the
unprecedented action of President
Hoover in announcing at Washing
ton that he had been in secret con-
ference with the biggest New York
bankers and trust heads, important
business leaders," as to how to de-
lay the crisis now developing, and
that he was now calling for "the
middle of next week small prelimi-
nary conference \of representatives
of industry, agriculture and labor
to meet with the Secretaries of the
Treasury, Agriculture, Commerce
and Labor, together with the chair
man of the Federal Farm Board, to
develop certain definite steps"

StyikebngaRlng

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Greens
conference here of 105 international
and national union heads, after hear
ing Green's speech, began the real
business. The conference is osten-
sibly called as a result of the resolu-
tion in the A. F. L. convention at
Toronto, to Organize the South"
Actually it is a gigantic united front
of the misleaders of labor to try and
stop the organization of the south
ern textile workers into the militant
National Textile Workers Union,
and to break any strikes that start
by using the arbitration" machin-
cry of the U. T. w. which wrecked
the Elizabethton strike.
Others Corroborate.
Pres. Tom Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers, outlined a plan for
spending $4,000 a month in North
and South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee with rs to 100
organizers at $35 a week and ex-
penses, all under the direct control
of the A. T. of l.. committee that
would be appointed to control the
operations. He wanted jurisdiction
al questions waived and a general
educational and organizing drive
instituted.
Clear cut evidence of the nature
of the work the committee will do,
is the fact that Matthew Woll, chief
red batter, joint author with the
American Bar Association of the
proposed national anti-strike bill,
acting head of the National Civic
Federation, ETC., was made chairman
of it.
Sitting on it, with Mcmahon, is
President Mahon of the Amalga,
mated Association of Street anc
Electrical Railway Employees, the
bureaucrat who sold out the New
York subwaymen, the present New
Orleans street car strike, and signet

which he agreed with the car Of

Framed Needle Toiler
in Chicago Freed

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. IS. - John
Boichoff, left wing needle trades
worker, framed by the police with
the aid of the reactionary officials
of the international Ladies Garment
Workers Union, was today acquitted
on charges of assault with deadly
weapons, arising out Of an attack
made by the Van Buren, Street slug
gers of the bosses and right wing
on women members of the Needle
Trades Worwers Industrial Union
on Oct, 9.
So flimsy were the charges
against Boichoff that the acquittal
resulted despite all the Vaccinations
of the right wing cliques, the bosses,
and the state attorneys.
Defense attorneys smashed all the
periured evidence submitted by the
sluggers thru their attorney Richert,
notorious labor-baiter. Rickert was
prosecutor in place of the state pros
ecutor.
The cases of the four members of
the Industrial Union framed up on
the same charges as Boichoff in con-
nection with the same attack made
by the Van Buren Street sluggers
and two more assault charges
against Boichoff have been con-
tinued for Dec. 1.
All militant needle workers as
we'll as workers in other trades have
been called to rally in support of
