Birth Control Case Is

All charges were dismissed yes

The attempt of the Catholic ad-

in New York, and the big employers
interested in having huge poverty

to stop the Birth Control Clinic is a

EvICTED AGAIN

GASTONIA, N. c., May 14.-For
the third time, the Workers Inter

evicted, being driven out of its dis
tribution center at 1852 West Frank

that the w. /. R. Immediately vacate
the shack, but it did not leave until
it had dispensed the daily rations to
the strikers.
Police yesterday searched the

The state militia of Tennessee

The arrests followed a sharp clash
between the scabs, organized into a

them from strikebreaking.

Several were injured in the clash

AS fast as arrests were made the

Senate ADOPTS
DEBENTURE BILL
Tariff Duties Rise in
Bargaining Spree

WASHINGTON, May 14.-The
senate late today passed by 4 vote
of 81 to SO it's farm bill, containing
the debenture clause, opposed by the
majority in the house of represen-
tatives and by President Hoover.
The debentures are form of fake
farm "relief" designed to fool the
farmers by promoting export of
grain. Exporters will get credit
slips, "debentures," which can be
used to pay tariff dues, on any
thing, for one half of the amount
of the tariff duty on the grain ex-
ported, had the grain been imported
instead of exported. The farmers
get nothing from the debentures, the
exporters profit, and probably the
price of food in the cities will go
up.
Senator Brookhart and several
others vigorously condemned the
proposal of the house republican
leaders to simply declare the deben-
ture clause unconstitutional and re-
fuse to consider It, on the grounds
that it was revenue measure, and
must originate in the house, not the
senate.
"Anarchy."
Brookhart stated that such ac-
ton by the house would lead to
anarchy in legislation" but the
most of the senators simply smiled
cynically. They know that such ac-
ton by the house will put the farm
bill into conference for a good long
time, and perhaps relieve them of
responsibility in the eyes of their
farmer constituents. And everybody
can see now that the farmers, when
they wake up to the fact that the

VITAL DECISIONS
BY CAP WORKERS
Laud Needle Union at
Enthusiastic Meet

A series of decisions of the great
est Importance to thousands of cap
and millinery workers have just been
made public by the Conference Of
Representatives of Organized and
Unorganized Cap and Millinery
Workers which yesterday concluded
a four-day session in New York.
Choose National Committee.
Just before the conference closed
a National Committee of 9 was
elected, which included one youth
member. The committee is expected
to act on the group of decisions made
at the conference.
First and foremost of the de-
cisions is a call to all expelled cap
and millinery locals urging them to
affiliate at once with the growing,
Needle Workers Industrial
Union. At the same time a call is
addressed to all members of the
millinery International urging them
to begin an energetic campaign
among all members, advocating that
the union affiliate with the Needle
Workers Industrial Union.
One of the decisions also called
for an immediate appeal to all un-
organized cap and millinery workers
urging them to begin at once the
formation of shop committees, which
together with the National Commit

of Over 1000 Held
Last Night
For the 44-HOur Week

Union Recognition

Over 1000 members of the Iron
and Bronze Workers Union, enthu-
siastically crowding Webster Hall
last night, voted unanimously that
the general strike involving over
1000 iron and bronze workers in
Greater New York City go into eff
feet today.
The general strike, which had
been voted by the union member
ship few weeks ago, was called for
today, when the workers heard the
report last night of the committee
to the effect that the union bosses
had refused to concede any of their
demands.
Strike Machinery Organized.
The strike machinery was per-
fected and the various committees
appointed at the mobilization meet
ing. The strike chairman is Alex
ander Korin: George Powers, or
ganizer of the union, is chairman of
the picket committee, and Leo Hoff-
bauer, president of the union, was
made chairman of the hall commit
tee.
The largest plants which will be
struck this morning are the three
plants Of the General Bronze Cor
poration on Long Island, employing
over 1,500 men. The corporation is
the result of the combine of three
companies with total capitaliza-
tion of about $7,O00,OO0.
Special attention will be given by
the union to the plants of the Allied
Building Metal Industries, a notori-
Gus open-shop association which per-
mits none of its members to negoti-
ate with the union. The association
makes speciality of exploiting
young German workers recently ar
rived in this country, taking advan-
tage Of their newness by paying
them low wages and making them
work long hours.
The union demands are recogni-
tion of the union, the 44-hour week
in all shops and minimum wage
scale of $40 per week for helpers,
$50 for finisher5 and bronze filters
and $50 for layout men and bronze
finishers.
The present scale is $50 a week
for helpers and SAG for finishers in
organized shops, and in non-union
shops $25 to $50 week for helpers
and $40 to $44 a week for finish
ers, on $4S a week basis. During
the strike all workers walking out
will be recruited into the union.
The following strike headquarters
have been designated: For all iron
end bronze workers who live in New
York, Laurel Garden, rs E. 10th
St., N. Y. c.; for all those who work
in Brooklyn and East New York,
Polizzi Mansion, 780-S00 Flushing

all those who work in Long Island
and Greenpoint, 1041 Eighth St.,

A complete betrayal of the
interests of thousands of build
ing trades workers is seen in
the announcement last night
by H. H. Broach, international
vice president of the Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, and the
"little czar" of New York Local
of the Electrical Workers Union,
that he would call off the strikes
of three large building concerns in
conformity with the demands of the
Building Trades Employers Asso-
citation that issued an ultimatum of
a lockout OF 5000 workers to go
into effect today at p. m.
In return for Broach's surrender,
the bosses association late last
night announced that they had post
poned the lockout following the SER
vice of temporary injunction issued
by Supreme Court Justice Gavegan,
restraining it from making the or
der issued Monday afternoon effec-
tive.
This move is seen as clever
maneuver on the part of the Build
ing Trades Employers Association
to call off the lockout order, now
that they have won all along the
line, and at the same time piously
announce that they are doing so in
Difference to the law.

governing board Of the association,

cut order was not permanently off.

until the order of Justice Gavegan,
which is returnable Friday, is dis

Gated, the lockout order will stand"

Broach explained when he made the
announcement of the decision to call
off the electrical strikes at a meet

Trades Council at 154 Third Ave,
yesterday afternoon.

This means that the "job trust"

the entire international by which the
