PAMPERED CRATER IN
MINORS HOSPITAL BED

NEW YORK.-The big sewer
CRATER, Queensborough President
Connolly, takes Robert Minors
place in the prison hospital at We'll
fare Island. He was transferred
there today in ceremony involving
Commissioner of Corrections Pat
terson, Warden johnson and prison
physician.
Connolly is supposed to have har-
dening of the arteries and some
thing wrong with his heart.
The prison authorities got hard
hearted toward Minor, ousted him
(although he is suffering greatly
from stomach ulcers) from the hos
pital and isolated him on Rikers
Island because the International La
Dor Defense exposed the graft on
Welfare and told of Connolly being
given a special apartment with
four servants there. Now Connolly,
since they have to make / fake
move to do away with his servants,
gets hospital bed, though ne suf-
fers from nothing but overeating,
on the special fare allowed him.

FOR STRUGGLE
Young Liberators" to
Fight Oppression

One hundred Negro and white
young workers attended the Youth
Conference of the American Negro
Labor Congress, called by its youth
committee and held last night, at
sos Lenox Avenue.
The conference heard a report
from Herbert Newton, National
Organizer of the A.N.L.C. on the
lynching terror against the Negro
workers, and decided to organize a
youth organization of young work
ers of all races to mobilize the
working youth in the fight against
lynching and Negro oppression.
The organization will be known as
the young Liberators." Its aim,
according to a resolution adopted by
the conference, will be to support
the struggle for full political, econ
omic and social equality for Neg
roes and for the right of self-deter-
mination for the Negro masses in
the south and for organized militant
struggle against lynching, JIM
crowism and all forms of discrimi-
nation against Negro workers"
The Conference received greet
ings from Joe Carr, one of the At
lanta defendants, and from the
Young Communist League, the
Trade Union Unity League, and the
Labor Sports Union. Sam Brown
was elected chairman of the confer
ence.

WAGE CUTS IN STEEL
INDUSTRY AIDED BY
A. F. OF L. LEADERSHIP
Fitch, Boss Statistcian, Says That A. F. of L.
Invites Wage Cuts and Speedup
Outlook For Steel Industry Is Very Gloomy
States Leading Organ of Steel Bosses

the bosses to cut wages and to
speed up all workers.
The crisis in the steel industry
is growing. There will be more I'M
employment and the inevitable
wage-cuts. Recent publications by
the bosses acknowledge this. Iron
Age, the leading mouthpiece Of the
steel bosses, paints black picture
for the future of the steel indus
try. They say:
Nothing within the present vision
of the steel industry indicates i'm
provement of the colorless market.
In fact, such adverse factors as
drought, a sluggish retail market
for automobiles, surplus railroad
equipment an declining foreign
trade are perhaps more accentu-
ated."
Another boss organ, which advo-
Gates wage-cuts for all workers,
speaking of the steel industry, says
journal of Commerce, Aug. 14):
Reviews of the steel situation
this week are tinged with a
deal of pessimism. One common
tator on market conditions states
bluntly that there are few develop
nients of an encouraging character,
that price weakness has broken out
afresh in a number of products"
price weakness" is always an
swered by the bosses by an attack
on wages.
The workers must have only one
answer. Organic and Strike
Against Wage Cuts" This can only
be done under the leadership of the
Metal Workers Industrial League
and the Trade Union Unity League.

CHIEF THUG LIES IN
YONKERS TRIAL
Seven Workers Face Court.

YONKERS, N. Y, Aug. 15.-Ad-
hitting that the charges on which
seven workers are being tried for
are faxed, Chief of Police Quirk to-
day testified that the only reason
the speakers were arrested was that
they were Communists. Those on
trial for holding an August LIST,
anti-war demonstration are Lillian
Perlman, Harry Shaw, Charlotte To-
dis, Alvin Roberts, Tony Valley,
Gertrude Werble and John P. Bar
rett.
"The only reason we won't give
them a permit to hold meetings. -
said chief slugger Quirk, sis because
the Communists are not a political
party. We will let any other party
speak. We do let any others hold
meetings, but not the Communists"
He admitted traffic was not being
blocked, nor were there any "disor-
ders" until the police attacked the
meeting and arrested the speakers.
Lieut.. Ford, gumshoe chief in
Yonkers, also testified. He lied
about the number of cops present.
He said there were only 20 uni
formed gunner and six plainclothes
thugs. There were, according to re-
ports of all workers present, at
least so cops and 10 or Is plain
clothes men. The police officers
testified that about 200 people gath
cred when the meeting opened and
that many were coming from all
sides when they rushed the meeting.

N.T.W.I.U. FIGHTS
HILLMAN TRICK
Makes Company Union Retreat;
Calls Meeting For Monday

NEW YORK.-Facing mass re-
bellion reused by the exposure of
their fake strike plans by the In
dustrial Union, the chiefs of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
have given up the general fake
strike, and are locking out the
workers in rs shops a day.
The following facts speak for
themselves:
In Gendzak's shop, Fifth Ave. and
18th st. the tailors were stopped
and reduction of 50 and So was
forced upon each and every worker.
In Jurick's shop Brownsville, the
company union made a present"
to the boss of 8 weeks wages
which was coming to the tailors.
In Fenzick's shop, Long Island,
there was cut of five per cent
in the wages of the workers.
The company union trembles be-
fore the attempts of the Industrial
Union ITO help the tailors turn the
fake strikes into real strike for
conditions. The present policy of
the clique is to make a general at
tack upon the conditions of the
tailors by attacking individual
shops.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union calls all locked out
and unemployed tailors to a mass
meeting Monday, at 1 p. M, at
Irving Plaza Hall. Irving Potash,
staff executive secretary of the
N.T.WI.U., and the Sam Liptin will
address the meeting on methods of
organizing shop committees and
fighting the cuts and unemployment
and sell out.
At 1 p. M, Saturday, August %,
at Manhattan Lyceum, there will be
a mass rank and file conference of
cloak makers to work out an ex-
tended program to fight the low

Wage-cuts have been going on
apace in the steel industry. In fact,
the first general wage-cut to take
place in any industry, after the IA
nous "scab" agreement between
Hoover and Green, took place in
the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.,
with the aid Of the A. F, of =. The
workers were given 10 per cent
reduction. In the tin mills of the
Bethlehem Steel Corp. wage-cuts
Of from 4 ~ per cent to 10 per cent
were given the workers. There are
''readiustments" of rates in all steel
plants-disguised wage-cuts. Other
wage-cuts have taken place in the
Sparrows Point plate mills and wire
mills. All of these cuts are helped
along by Green and his cohorts in
the A. F. of L.
In fact, John K. Fitch, president
of the Fitch Publishing Co., statis-
ticians, says that the A. F. of l..
officials invite wage-cuts. In a
speech of his, quoted in the New
York World of August IA, he says:
Labor organizations "a. F. of
L. have also shown disposition
to accept wage-cuts and to with
draw arbitrary and wasteful regu-
lations on production"
He admits that Green and Woll
not only invite wage-cuts, but urge
speed-up, so that the bosses profits
can be increased. In the steel in
dustry this tremendous speed-up
means more accidents and death for
the workers. With their strength
already taxed to the maximum, we
find the A. F. of L. actually urging

the corner of Ditmar Road and Sec

Franc Murray Defeats
Albert Foley AT Polls
For School Board Vacancy

Plentywood voters turned out
last Monday and buried under an
avalanche of votes the 20-mill
proposal for a new school build
ing and the 10-mills for school
maintenance, probably as a pro-
test against the judicial hanging
bee in the form of a special term
of court pulled off by County At
torney Blackwell and which cost
the county approximately $4,000.
In the contest for the vacancy
on the school board, Albert Foley
ran a close second to Frank J.
Murray, deputy sheriff. Foley did
not make a serious campaign, his
propaganda In his own behalf be-
ing confined to sundry observa-
tons between gulps of bean soup
in the bakery.

time, telling him what she intend

their contract; it explains what
Hugo meant when he said as ne
Law writhing In the bottom of the
grain tank 81 had it coming, l
forgive you, go across the line and
keep still, ETC." 1t explains why
he died without saying a word
for he would rather die than have
the story of the wronging of Wan
da Hass exposed.
Was 1t Insanity?
Bill Hass says Wanda is insane.
But was it insanity or the emo
tional urges of a wronged and
betrayed woman, driven mad by
Scorn and contempt, until in des-
peration she resorted to the only
recourse of a proud and defense
less wOman-primitive Justice?
Hugo's Bluff Called.
Hugo Hass when he STONED his
team to talk to Wanda, when he
saw the gun in her hand, when he
answered her demands to keep his
contract, with "If you feel that
way about it Wanda, shoot" did
not think that Wanda meant busi-
ness. he did not think she had the
nerve to pull the trigger, he knew
he would have to bluff her out
now or yield and pay what he had
agreed TO pay, but Wanda shot.
Then Hugo Hass came to his SEN
ses, as he saw his life blood ebb.
He was overwhelmed with the
wrongs he had heaped upon his
defenseless neice during all these
years, and died silent.
Jealousy Further Motive.
And Wanda HasS loved Hugo.
A little over year ago he wed
another woman. They saw he had
told Wanda he would marry her.
but the laws of this country do
not allow an uncle to marry a
neice. as they do in some German
states. And so jealousy also play
ed its part in driving Wanda Hass
to her desperate deed on the Out
look road.
And now Wanda wants to plead
guilty withut a trial, in order to
keep her story buried; she is will
ing to take punishment, if not for
longer than to her seems just
which she says is five years in the
penitentiary.
