The Story of a Strike and
Tyeachery by Right Wing
Needle Workers Industrial Union Calling Many
Important Meets; Cooper Union Rally Soon

I. L. G. W., joined with the three
right wing pressers in sympathy

weeks under right wing direction
with the following climax:
A Dirty Deal.
Breslau made deal with the boss
whereby the latter paid the sum of
$3.50, this money to be turned over
to the three pressers, who were to
waive all right to return to the
shop. But the most significant part
of the deal involved the exacting of
a promise from the boss that the
six militants would be fired. To this
he agreed.
AS an answer to this piece of
treachery, the Needle Workers In
dustrial Workers Union has called
a strike against the firm and picket

achieved.

A strike in a cloak shop has just
been called by the Needle Workers
Industrial Union which reveals in
all its hideousness the unspeakable
corruption and treachery of the COM
pany union known as the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union.
The strike, called in the firm of
Goldberg, Manley & Co., 266 W. 37th
St., resulted from the following cir
cumstances:

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Debate
in the house of representatives on
the new tariff bill dictated by Hoo
yer brought out the fact today that
part of Hoover's many phased drive
for absolute powers against the
workers is hidden in the "flexible
provisions" of the proposed law.
Even some of the congressman,
because of pressure from their cap
italist associates are taking offense
at the crudity and grasping nature
of Hoover's Capitalization policy.
The aspect of it which irritates the
congressman is mainly that which
enlarges Hoover's power to decide
tariff duties.
Giving Hoover More Power.
According to these provisions,
large class of goods can be given by
mere presidential order a variation
of duties amounting to fifty per
cent. ..
This is but one of the several
general measures which Hoover has
been quietly working out to make
the U. S. government more central
lied, and more despotic.
He has demanded the right to fix
salaries of a large number of COM
missioners newly provided for, thus
giving him an extended patronage
list which can be used in a form of
legalized bribery. ......-

These worthless are A. Cohen and

time they succeeded in obtaining a

operations in their shop. In an eff

in court here recently and sought
an injunction. Their request was
granted, of course, by the accommo-

made an end to the picketing.
Victory for the shoe workers is
now nearer than it has been since
the strike began over seven weeks

 Control Is Proposed

The first big appropriation bill of the present session of the Legis- lature was brought into the House yesterday afternoon by Chairman Winn of the Education Committee, carrying $167,035 for the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines This is a reduction of S64965 from the estimates submit ted in the budget, which called for S232 O00.
 This measure has been approved by the Committee on Education and was referred to the Ways and Means Committee Four other measures were introduced in the House, three by MT. Shattuck anG one by MT ziegler.
 Curb Radio Interference
 One of the Shattuck measures seeks to give City Councils power to curb by ordinance interference to radio reception, giving them the right to regulate the use of violet ray machines, X-ray machines, open or quenched spark machines, or machines using the Tesla coil or principle and any and all machines including or incorporating a de- vice producing high frequency os- cillation, and any and all machines and appliances that may interfere with radio reception and transmits sion; and to provide for the issu- ance of permits for the use of such machines and appliances"
 The other Shattuck bills are companionate measures. One seeks to repeal Chapter 66, Session Laws of 1917, providing for organization, operation, management and regula- tion of trust companies. The second provides for the operation of simi -r companies by banks and bank ing corporations and otherwise amending the banking laws. It fixes the minimum capitalization at S25000 for towns of 500 or more population and $15,000 for under 500. It seeks to change the pres ent reserve from a flat 20 per cent of all deposits to 20 per cent on demand and Is per cent on demand deposits.
 It also provides that no bank may own more than 10 per cent of the capital stock issue of any other bank. This provision is aimed at chain banks.
