BROOKLYN, N. VI am a shoe
worker working in I. Miller's Shoe
factory. I have worked here over
two years. We have received so many
wage cuts that it is hard to keep
track of them all.
We have just been told that we
are going to have another cut. The
workers in Haverhill refused to take
the Miller cut, so in order to scare
the workers the Miller bosses are
closing the Haverhill shop and are
bringing the work here to have us
scab on our fellow workers.

MUNICIPAL AIRPORT
MEASURE TABLED
House Buildings and Grounds
Group to Conduct Two
Hearings Tomorrow.

The municipal airport bill was
brought up in executive session of the
House Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds today by Chairman FL
lott and tabled by unanimous vote.
The committee tomorrow will conduct
a hearing on two measures. One Of
these provides for an underpass for the
Rcsslyn connecting railroad. instead of
a grade crossing at the boulevard from
the Arlington Memorial Bridge into Ar
lington National Cemetery.
The committee also will conduct a
hearing on the Elliott bill, which au-
thorizes an appropriation of an adj
ditional 100000 600 for the Federal
building program outside of Washing
ton, bringing the total authorized
amount for construction in the States
up to $415,000 900.
A week from tomorrow this commit
tee will take up the Elliott bill, which
authorizes the purchase of the site be-
tween First and Second, B and C
streets northeast, directly east of the
Senate Office Building, at limited cost
of $950,000 as site for the General
Accounting Office Building.
The only opposition thus far against
this proposal comes from the National
Woman's Party, which has its national
headquarters on the southeast corner of
this square in the house formerly owned
by Senator Dale of Vermont. This
organization had previously opposed
the taking of their national headquar-
ters in the historic building, known as
the Old Brick Capitol at the corner of
First and A streets, which has since
been demolished to make way for the
new Supreme Court Building.
