picket lines be united for more effec-
tive struggle. Laks, the misleader Of
the AFL picket line and renegade

chairman of the AFL settlements
committee which has been planning
all of the fake settlements drove the
delegation away. He did this despite
the fact that some of the workers on
his own picket Inc wanted to unite
both lines. One of the workers on
the AFL line joined the NTWU line.
The NTWU line gradually heightened
in order to bring about a real merg-
ing of the lines by direct contact and
by convincing the workers. This had
almost succeeded when Laks, fearing
that his workers would join the other
line, withdrew them from picketing

Immediate Demands
For All Workers

NEW YORK. - Rallying the en-
ployed and unemployed pocketbook-
makers, who by an overwhelming
vote ousted the right wing MuSteite
officialdom at a recent membership
meeting, the Rank and File Commit
tee and the Committee of rs of the
Unemployed have called mass
meeting today at $50 pm. at the
Irving Plaza, 18th st. and Irving Pl.
Telling the purpose of the meet
ing, leaflet issued by the Rank and
File Committee says:
''The membership of our union
has voted to GUST the present adj
ministYation. The cliques that now
dominate our Union will try to
stay In office against the wish of
the members. We must force them
to proceed Immediately with the
elections"
The corrupt officials, knowing that
the majority of the union stand SOL
idly against them, are now attempt
ing to hold the offices and collect
the high salaries for as long time
as they can hold on.
Rank and File Plans
Plans for an immediate election of
rank and file administration, res
ponsive to the needs of the workers
and unemployed in the trade, and
practical measures affording imme-
date relief of the jobless will be
discussed at the meeting. Tied up
with these immediate questions will
be the basic question of an organ
lied campaign against worsening
conditions in the shops and union
ization Of the open shops in the
trade.
Reduction of the large salaries of
the officials of the union to the level
of the average working wage will be
an immediate demand that will be
put into practice by the rank and
file committee.
"Only a Rank and File admin
istration can protect our union
standards in the shops and also
help the unemployed" the leaflet
issued states.
Warning against the renewed ac-
tivities of the Shiplacoff-socialist
clique was made by the rank and file
committee. The danger of this group
in using demagogic socialist talk to
swing the workers away from the
main task of the installation Of a
rank and file administration and
adoption of immediate practical de-
mands for both the working and job
less workers, was pointed out by the
committee.

Relative to prevention of fires,

a survey made some time ago it was
determined that FL factories OF mer-

From the same survey it was estlmat-
ed that of every hundred industrial
Establishments that burn, II suffer
extensive reductions in credit, II fail
to issue financial statements after the
fire, rs register large losses in bust
ness, and - never resume operations.
In other words, almost one-half OF the
business houses that burn never re-
open their doors, and their employees
must seek other jobs. That is why bus
mess men are interested in fire losses
American business men are not
only interested in safety from fife in
their business, but in their homes. be-
cause the loss of life is greatest there

ing President Hoover more concern
than any other is that which comes

The business depression has demon
strated to industry that many en-
ployes and types of activities hereto
fore considered absolutely necessary
can be eliminated without impairment
of efficiency. In some cases, the reduc-
ton of overhead and labor expense
has increased efficiency.
A revival of business, Government
authorities note, will result in an inn
mediate pickup in employment in
most industries. Other industries, how
ever, are expected to remain at their
present low levd indefinitely. They
are industries that have suffered a
gradual decline because substitutes for
their basic products have captured the
buying public's fancy.

development of the radio, airoplane

which are developing new types of
heating plants, which can also be used
in the summer for cooling.
