BETTER CAUCUS
 PLAN CONSIDERED Republicans Investigate New
 Method for Party Meeting SAID TO HASTEN VOTING
Womens Auxiliary of American Le- zion Will Hold Its Postponed Meeting Friday Night to Arrange For Celebration Supper.

The republican town committee appointed at the last republican caucus held a joint meeting last night with the view of investigating possibilities of bettering the caucus system as it has been conducted to date. An unusually large vote IS expected at the caucus to be held October 9th when a candidate will be nominated for representative in the state assembly.
 At the meeting last night resolu- tions were adopted which will not funk the caucus system for some thing else, but which will modify the existing mode of choosing can- didates As result of last nights resolutions the next caucus, as modified, will be opened at the evening of October 9th instead Of the former hour at 8 o'clock. The ballot boxes will be accessible to re- publican voters from till 9:3O, or until all voters present have cast their ballots. This modified caucus will enable voters to make their de- cisions and leave when they want 10 instead of having to wait around as they formerly did.
 The timeliness of the improved method of balIoting may easily be seen when nearly 1900 voters are expected at the caucus October 9th.
 Besides the business of revising the caucus system, a general urge was expressed at the meeting last night to get out the voters as well as possible. both for the town meet ing Monday night and for the caucus.

Special Need to Send
Delegates March |

Two calls have been issued by
the Metropolitan Area Trade Union
Unity League, one to women work
ars and the other to Negro work,
ers, pointing out their present UNI
bearable conditions and urging
them to elect delegates to the con-
vention of the T.U.U.L. this Sat-
urday and Sunday, March AMI

The call from the Negro organ
izer of the T.U.U.L. to the Negro
workers declares in part:
"We Negro workers especially
are made to suffer from the de-
veloping crisis and. the drive of the
bosses. Hundreds of thousands of
US in New York and New Jersey
are forced to do the hardest and
dirtiest work for the lowest wages.
We are always the last to be hired.
We are the first to be fired and
suffer most from the growing I'M

speeded up and are the first to
have our miserable wages cut. We
are Disseminated against not only
by the bosses and their government

takers of the A. F. of L.
"More and more Negro workers
are beginning to realize that their
only salvation from slavery, unem-

LAUNDRY LEAGUE
DEF|ES ARREST
Workers Get Leaflets;
Boss RACES and Fumes

A committee went yesterday to
distribute an organization call to
the workers of the National Laun-
dries, wilkins Av. & Boston Road.
The bosses of this laundry, which
is part of great trust, have a
reputation of being rough. They
threatened the committee with their
lives which refused to leave. They
called a few huskies, but the latter,
badly exl oited workers themselves,
did not like the job. They let the
boss do all the threatening, while
they merely looked on. The neigh
bors, who are practically all work.
ers, showed their sympathy for the
committee and told the boss to keep
his hands off. The boss got cold feet
and retreated.
Despite the fact that two police
men appeared on the scene, all the
workers came out of the shop,
everyone receiving leaflets. Many
gave their addresses, and expressed
to organize.
70 Hours A Week
The laundry workers are very
enthusiastic for organization. They
work under the most miserable con-
ditions. Their hours are anywhere
from so to 70 week. Pay for over
time is not known. The wages
range from II to IA for women and
Is to 25 for men for the most ex-
hausting labor. Sixteen dollars a
week is considered a very high wage
for laundry workers. In many
shops the foreladies receive this
enormous sum. For this they slave
hard themselves and keep on nag
cling the rest of the workers to speed
it up.
The laundry industry employs
Negro women predominantly. In
many laundries the bosses discrim-
mate against Negroes, giving them
the worst jobs and the lowest pay.

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 24.-The
gangsters imported from New York
or recruited in the Boston under
world by the company union today
shirked their job of attacking one
OF the most militant and largest
picketing demonstrations ever held
here. The police were sent in in
stead, and tried by mass arrests to
break up the striking cloakmakers
and dressmakers picket line. They
made 40 arrests, but the pickets put
up such a battle that their line re-
NAMED intact.
The afternoon mass meeting here
today, after the battle in the streets
was the most enthusiastic since the
strike started. The cloak and dress
pledged anew, amidst cheers,
to carry on to victory. The situa-
ton is very good. More and more
shops split with the b,sses' asso-
citation and the International Ladies
Garment Workers (the company
lnion) and capitulate to the demands
of the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union, which is leading the
strike. Today several of the most
shops settled on union
conditions, which include the 40

Tomorrow, at 6 there will be an
other big mass meeting of all cloak
