ROOSEVELT STAND
ASSA|LED BY FISH
His Plea for Separation of
State and Business Draws
Attack on Tammany.
BY the Associated Press.


CARMEL, N. Y, July 6.-Representa-
tive Hamilton Fish, jr., of the twenty
sixth New York district, in an address
before the Putnam County Republican
committee today attacked the indie
pendence day address of Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt at Tammany Hall In
New York City.
1T certainly was a curious and I'M
happy place to select for advocating
such a cause" he said, referring to the
governors plea for separation OF gov
eminent and business, for II there Is
one organization in the country that
has been inextricably mixed up with
all kinds of business, big and little,
from building sewers to licenses for
push-cart peddlerS, it Is Tammany Hall.
Quotes Recent Report.
1.-THE recent report of Tammanys
own investigator, Commissioner of Ac-
counts James A. Higgins, disclosed q
sorry spectacle of graft, corruption and
padded pay rolls in the street cleaning
department, which extended into most
of the other departments Of the city
government. The slogan OF Tammany
is more politics in business and more
business for Tammany Hall and deServ-
ing Democrats"
The governor specifically had at
tackled recent water power mergers in
New York State and to this Fish re-
piled:
IF the Democratic policy of criticism
Of private enterprise means anything,
it means State ownership, and 1t also
means that instead of having less
partnership between business and gov
ernment there would manifestly be
more"
The Representative referred to the
collapse of the City Trust Co. in New
York City and the arrest OF Frank II.

to draw q red herring across the trail
of the City Trust scandal by his attacks

Thousands of poor people were

failure of Democratic State officials to
protect them but through the down.
right dishonesty and crookedness OF
these officials, who actually helped to
plumber them.

WOMEN URGED TO
BACK BIG STRIKE
Party Women's Dept.
Issues Statement

A stirring statement, addressed
to all women workers, urging them
to rally to the support of the New
York dressmakers who are now
courageously battling under the
leadership of the new Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, has been
issued by the National Women's de-
partment of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party.
'Rally to the support of the
striking dressmakers! Their strug-
gle is your struggle! Come out in
masses on the picket line! Give
aid and relief" These are the slo-
gans put forth in the statement
which follows:
The dressmakers strike is a de-
cisive conflict, not only for the ex-
plotted workers in the needle trades,
but for the American working class
as whole, in whose struggles the
needle trades workers are fighting
in the vanguard. But it is for the
women workers in the needle trades
and in all other industries that the
dressmakers' strike has a special
significance. Women workers consti-
tute large proportion of the work
ers in the dress industry and are
the worst paid and most exploited
section of the trade.
Conditions Today.
Toiling long hours under worse
than sweatshop conditions, working
piece work under an intolerable
speed up system that saps the whole
strength of the workers, irregularly
employed, wandering from shop to

CRIME, SAYS GIL
Pressure From Masses
Forces left" Talk

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 12.-Declar-
ing that Catholics We're responsible
for the attempt on his life last Sun
day, when his train was dynamited,
President Portes Gil warned the
Catholics that sin the future" those
responsible would have their prop
erty confiscated. The only step he
took at present was the order to all
Catholic priests to register their
name and address within two weeks.
The announcement of Gil was
given to the newspapers, and its
language indicates how the rapidly
growing revolutionary sentiment of
the masses is affecting Gil by fore
ing him, in order to maintain popu-
lar support, to talk with revolution
ary phrases designed to delude the
masses.
Gil Talks LIEF" Acts Right"
Investigators of the recent ex-
cesses are not sincere Catholics, but
bourgeois elements seeking to save
the remains of that which was taken
from them by revolution. This is
shown by the murders of peasants
committed in the name of Christ the
King, and also by pseudo Mexican
aristocracy's protection of Catholic
rebels. The government will seize
the holdings of authors and accom-
plices involved in revolutionary
work. Such lands and factories will
be given to peasants and workers
to be managed comparatively"
Lands Not Taken Away"
Gil does not mention that the
lands supposed "taken from" the re-
action by revolution, largely re-
main in the hands of reaction yet,
as the law has never been carried
into effect, and the threat is ac-
companied with modifying talk that
those who commit crimes are mot

The pressure of the masses on
Gil is indicated by his lower sub
ordinate authorities here, who are
claiming that the presidential can

they call Communist, is stirring
