YUGOSLAV ORNAMENTS
ARE BEING INCREASED

BELGRADE U.P.S.)-The first
Yugoslavian aeroplane carrier, the
"Zmay," entered the Dalmatian port
of Thar a few days ago. The new
war ship was built at Hamburg
shipyard. It is the first unit of the
Yugoslavian war navy. The ship
is fitted with every up-to-date war
equipment.
Zagreb reports that secret trial
commenced in Sarajevo on II Sep
TENDER, of 25 persons charged with
offences against the Fascist law for
the protection of the state. The
names of the accused, and the de-
tails of the trial, are not allowed
to be published by the Yugoslavian
press.
The heroic strike of 1900 workers
of the wood working workshops of
Teslitsch, commenced on % August,
had to be broken off on II Septem-
Der. These workers, existing in the
utmost poverty, have been simply
starved into surrender by the en-
ployers, aided by the social fascist
trade unions. The cause of the
strike was the proposed reduction
of the wages of the unskilled work
ers by rs per cent. The social fas-
cist trade union leaders agreed to
accept a wage cut of s per cent, the
workers to pay their own social in
surance. Upon this the workers
went on strike, and have only sue
cumber to the combined forces of
the employers, the social fascists,
and state power. That this strike
could take place at all in the blood

ship of Europe is proof of the
growing revolutionary spirit of the

Judge Crater Alive; Disappeared to Avoid
Probe of MilGon-Dollar Hotel Libby Steal

inventosr were to be told that it was
a million and half dollar loan. The
insiders, including Mr.. Bernstein,
knew that actually only $975,000
was to be delivered for the con-
struction of the hotel. The remain
der of the loan, $525,O0O, was to be
kept by the mortgage company as
a bonus for its magnanimity in
dealing with lowly pushcart pedd-
lars.
Hotel Failure from Start
The hotel was completed in 1926
and was failure from the start.
Things went from bad to much
worse until last year, when the trus-
tees filed suit to foreclose and asked
for the appointment of receiver.
Joseph Force Crater, later to be ap-
pointed to the supreme court bench
and now taking a forced rest cure,
was appointed receiver by Justice
Levy, who is usually called in by
Tammany when really dirty work is
to be done.
1t was about this time that talk
of the Christie Forsythe st. widen
ing project began to be taken seri-
ously. If these STREETS were act
ually to be widened, it would mean
that the value Of nearby houses
the Hotel Libby included.
Consequently the lawyer for the
hotel asked Justice Mullen to stay
the sale. He argued, correctly, that
the American Bond and Mortgage
Co., the "philanthropic" bankers
who demanded and got $525,000 for
a $1,500,00O loan, would be able to
buy the property for $93,304.54 and
reap huge profit when the city
would condemn the hotel for the
street-widening project.
Judge Mullan denied the stay,
and the next day the hotel was
sold to the American Bond and
Mortgage Co. for $4,000. Although
the hotel was assessed at $1,330,00O
by the city's tax experts. Referee
Quillinan, law partner of Senator
Wagner, went so far as to waive
the cash deposit of 10 per cent
usually demanded of the successful
bidder.
Reforming" Judge Involved
The city formally took title to
the hotel on August s, 1929 and
condemnation proceedings were
started Immediately. The condemn
alton proceedings were held before
Judge McCook, who declared to the
Extraordinary Grand Jury only a
few weeks ago that he wants 1t
Ito go to the bottom" of the judge
buying system in New York.
Judge McCook awarded $3.50, 900
for the hotel which had been bought
at auction for $4,000. 1t is the diff
ference between this sum and ST.
$50, 000-minus some incidental ex-
penses--that is responsible for the
disappearance of Justice Crater.

New York City and Vicinity,
Workers Correspondents Conference
Dear Comrades:
Reading today about the Workers
Correspondents Conference which is
to be held, and recognizing it's great
Importance at this period of the
class struggle, we feel impelled tc
write you a few lines.
The world situation is rapidly
sharpening. The stupendous growth
of socialism in the Soviet Union, the
deepening antagonisms in all cap
italist and colonial countries, the re-
volutionization of the workers and
peasants in Germany, China and In
dia, the rehabilitation of the masses
the world over, with the interna-
tional conflicts becoming more acute
so that the imperialist war danger
becomes more imminent, make the
revolutionary working class press Of
ever greater Importance.
Heart of Workers Press.
The very foundation of the revo-
lutionary working class press, its
heart and soul, are the workers cor
respondents operating among the
masses of the workers in the indus
tries. They help most effectively to
root the revolutionary papers among
the masses and to draw them close
to the revolutionary organizations
This makes it imperative to build
up corps of workers correspondents
in all industries, in all sections OF
the country. In view of these facts.
among the important tasks con-
fronting the conference, we would
like to mention the following:
1. Establish workers cores
pondents in every important shop.
2. Establish them in every loo
atty.
8. Establish them in every local
union (also A. F. of L. and I'm

A. Form local organizations of

Cabinet Makers Back
Social Insurance Bill

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 6.-Cabinet
Makers and Millmen, Local 1865
A. F. of L., voted here tonight
unanimously to endorse the Work
ers' Unemployment Insurance Bill
and contributed financially for this
campaign.
Following the presentation of the
bill by George Powers, secretary of
the Trade Union Unity League, and
Nick Maxi, representing the Unem-
ployed Council and the Trade Union
Unity League, a lively discussion of
the membership took place.
A large number of the members
are unemployed and the 'Tnterna-
tional" Union is only interested to
demand more assessments and other
fees from the local, side-stepping
completely the growing question of
unemployment.
