DRESSMAKERS
ARE FOR STRIKE
Overflow Meeting, in
Irving Plaza

NEW YORK.-Irving Plaza Hall
last night was overlooked by dress
makers summoned by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union to
discuss the coming dress strike and
demands.
They were practically unanimous
for strike, enthusiastic and eager
to battle for week work, seven hours
day and five-day week, unem-
ployment insurance, and other points
outlined.
A committee of 200 was elected to
arrange a conference of shop dele
gates from industrial union, COM
pany union and open shops, to meet
in the same hall Friday, October 81
and form strike machinery.
With Weisberg in the chair, Irv-
ing Potash made the main report,
showing how since 1925 the value of
the product in the dress trades had
increased from $3.50, 100000 to over
$1,000,000,000 while the number of
workers had fallen through speed-up
naturalization and unemployment
from $4,000 to $4,000. More than
half the dressmakers are Nunemploy-
ed and average wages are less than
$40 a week.

2 MORE SUICIDES; One
KILLED OVER CRISIS

NEW YORK.-The crisis killed
three more yesterday. One was an
unidentified workman down to his
last 80 cents. He leaped from the
upper floor of the Equitable Bldg,
Cedar and Broadway, and struck on
the head of truck driver, Alfred
Korndorfer. Both were instantly
killed.
The other was Austin Adams,
president of a wheelbarsow manu-
featuring company. The slump in
industry had put him nearly out
of business. He jumped to death
-out of the Singer Building, 14e
Broadway.

100000 WORKERS
OUT ON STRIKE
IN GER MANY
Metal Workers Fight
Against Wage Cuts;
Socialists Betray
Form a Strike Guard
Union Leaders Tried to
Prevent Strike
Gable BY Inprecorrl

BERLIN, Oct. 15.-The sritke of
100000 metal workers is complete.
The revolutionary strike leadership
issued an appeal of warning to the
workers against the yellow trade
union leaders who are attempting
to throttle the strike like the social
list Ebert did in 1918.
Yesterday evening delegate con-
ference of revolutionary metal'work-
ers decided on mass picketing, and
the formation of a strike guard
against the fascist scabs.
The metal workeors are striking
against wage cut, and the arbit-
ration decision between the socialist
trade union leaders and the bosses
which compromised on six to eight
per cent wage cut. All attempts
of the misleaders to keep the work.
ers from striking failed. Very early
in the proceedings, the revolutionary
union leaders called on the workers
to prepare for strike. The strike
actually was effected before the of
ficials set the date for it, and was
carried out despite their wishes. The
aclling of the strike at the present
time, with the socialists bolstering
up the Bruening regime, is of great
political significance and shows the
growing militancy of the German
workers. Sharp clashes are expect
ed. Not long ago, the Socialists at
tempted to effect wage cut for all
workers. The present strike shows
the mood of the workers and their
willingness to struggle against any
attempt to cut wages, as well as
against the socialist betrayers. y,
The few fascists who were arrest
ed at the anti-Jewish riots were SEN
fenced to imprisonment for terms
ranging from three to six weeks.
Yesterday evening a fascist meet
ing in Schwerin ended in a general
fight. Fascists attacked workers
with knives, clubs, etc. The work
ers defended themselves with chair
legs. The hall was wrecked and
fifteen were injured.

Sometime this afternoon, Direc-

many district leader who sold a
judgeship to Amadeo Bertini for
100000, will move for the accep-
tances of the budget which he drew

to all workers, for almost all city
income is derived from taxes, and
ultimately the rent payer is always
the tax payer.
The budget so constructed that
no accountant alive can understand
all of it. This is done deliberately,
because if every item were TO be
explained it would be evident that
literally hundreds of millions of dol

into the bank accounts of Tammany

Besides serving capitalism's
purpose of stunning response
bility for this systematic MUIR
der of unemployed workers,
the story serves as a stronger
veil for the prohibition tissue" in
the election campaign. These %
deaths have occurred in the last few
days and the places where most of
the bodies were found are proof
conclusive that they were unem-
ployed workers.
Found On Dumps.
One white unidentified worker
was found at 2 a. m. Saturday morn
in Military Park, Newark, and altho
ing under a temporary band stand
known to other unemployed habitues
of the park as one who did not drink,
his death is attributed to alcohol.
Four Negro unemployed workers
were found dead on the city dumps,
undoubtedly from rotten and pois-
oned food gathered from the dumps,
but, not being DESTROYS of letting the
truth be known death from starva-
tom and needing bolsterer for the
prohibition issue in the election CAM
paign the newspapers tell of finding
an empty bottle by the dead bodies
as tho they could not have round
hundreds of similar bottles on the
dump. But, regardless of these at
tempts to blind the workers, both
mentally and physically, the truth
concerning these things is being told
to all workers who gather at our
meetings.
The quarter million unemployed
workers in New Jersey and the eight
million elsewhere must help the
Communist Party show up this cap
italist class that cuts wages so that
when they starve to death they are
still used as a shield for fake cleo
ton issues. Workers, go to the polls,
but vote for fight against the
starvation system of capitalism.

bition cases, it appeared today.
The high courts decision came
as the House Judiciary Committee
was reported about to bury the
WickerSham commisSion's court re-
form program, and create new
Federal judgeships instead.
The decision written by Justice
Sutherland in the. case OF three
Oklahomans convicted by jury
of IL men, which they consented
to. of conspiracy to bribe a pro.
l1ibition officer, and sentenced to
eight years imprisonment, appar.
emily left no doubt of the legality
of the principle Of the Wicker

Justice Sutherland pointed out
that the court had specifically per-
mitted waiver of jury trials in
petty cases. and in yesterdays de-
cision extended the principle to
embrace the most serious Federal
crimes.
The high court, however, warned
all courts to use the waiver power
with discretion, the decision say
ing: -
"In affirming the power of
the defendant i'm any criminal
case to waive trial by a con-
stitutiOnal jury and submit to
trial by q jury of less than IL
persons, or by the court, we do
not mean to hold that the
waiver must be put into effect at
all events.
"Trial by jury is the normal
and, with occasional exceptions,
the preferable mode of dispOSing
of issues of facts in criminal
cases above the grade Of petty
Offenses. In such cases the
value and appropriateness of
jury trial have been established
by long experience, and are not
now to be denied"
