TIRE ASURY HIT
IN BUILDING
DELAYS
Democrat FIare-up Cites Tardy
Work as "POIitics";; May Ask
Transfer of Supervision

The Treasury Department and
Democratic critics Of the Admin
istration were in a controversy to-
day over delay in the Govern
Hnent's9 new Federal construction
program.
Treasury officials smarted un-
der charges that projects author
lied by Congress a year ago have
not yet been started, even though
appropriations we're enacted as
emergency measures to relieve
unemployment.
Sees Politics Busy
Senator Fletcher Cd Of Flor
ida, said:
'Tt is q common impression
here that public building con-
structiOn in virtually all the
States has been and Is now
being held back by n faltering
policy on the part of response
BE Administration officials.
Another seemingly well estab-
lished opinion here Is that
these delays in the main may
have some political significance
and are not unrelated to the
1882 campaign in which the
Administration expects to ad-
vantage its cause by show Of
s labor employing activities
throughout the country ut that
time"
Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury Ferry K. Heath, blamed
the delays on the time required
to secure plans from Federal and
private architects.
Walsh Also Criticizes
Just recently, Senator Walsh
fD0 of Montana charged tnat
two projects authorized in his
State more than a year ago had
not yet been started.
It would not be surprising If
the Democrats initiated an in
Quiry into the delay, and they
may even try to take the con-
struction program out Of the
Treasury's hands to turn it over
to b special commission.

MANY GROUPS TO
BE REPRESENTED
AT |. |. D. PLENUM
Mobilize for Struggle
and Clarity Character
Of Organization

NEW YORK.-Representatives of
over so working class organizations
will take part in the Plenum of the
National Executive Committee of the
International Labor Defense in New
York City october 31-November 1, it
was announced today by j. Louis
Engdahl, general secretary.
Working class groups which will
take part include the Trade Union
Unity League, the National Textile
Workers Union, the Needle Trade
Workers Industrial Union, the Shoe
and Leather Goods Workers Indus
trial Union; many fraternal orders,
such as the International Workers
Order, the Ukrainian and Lithuanian
Literary Societies, and the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, the Work
mans Sick and Death Societies, and
many others.
Inviting these organizations in line
with the International Labor Defense
policy of clarifying the character of
the LID. as an independent mass
of militant class strue-
gle fighting for the rights of the OPP
pressed toiling masses. Too often,
Engdahl states, the LID. is looked
upon as a sort of legal aid society"
distinct from the mass of militant
workers, to be called upon for law
yers only in time of arrests.
"This is the most important ma
tional gathering of our organization,
says Engdahl, especially coming as
it does at this time with growing
mass persecution and arrests result
ing from strikes against wage cuts
and the struggles of the unemployed.
The international crisis and the war
danger make the Plenum vital to all
worker groups"
The agenda Of the Plenum, opening
in Irving Plaza Hall, Irving Place and
East 18th St., at 10 am. this Satur-
day, follows:
y Report on the International
Plenum and the immediate tasks of

PAINTERS UNION
PLAN TO FORCE
THRU WAGE CUT
Painters Must Figh t
Against Betrayal
By Leaders

Under the guise of "stabilizing" the
building industry in the City of New
York the officials of the Painters
Union of the District Council No. 9
are now going in conference with the
bosses in order to consider wage
cut for the painters.
About three months ago or more
she president of the Painters Union,
Mr.. Lindeloff, at a meeting of the
81 District Council No. 9 of the painters
IN his speech to the delegates of the
district council pointed out that
sooner or later the painters as well
as other workers will have to consider
the acceptance of the so-called
American standard of wages and he
also pointed out that the painters
would be fools to expect a wage scale
of 1920 per day whether the indus
try permits it or not.
Mr.. Lindeloff did not hide or try
to hide the fact that the leadership
Of the union is ready to fight for the
acceptance Of the wage cut and that
they will do everything possible in
order to effect this wage cut.
The general Executive Board
headed by Mr.. Lindeloff proposed on
a National Scale that the lower wage
scale shall prevail on all out of town
Jobs going as far as changing the
constitution in order to please the
bosses, which calls for that the high
er wage scale shall prevail.
That the leaders of the painters
union are working hand in hand with
bosses is exemplified by letter which
was sent from the Building Trades
Employers Assn. to the painters
union inviting them to conference in
order to consider readjustment OF
the wage scale.
The District Council of New York
No. 9 has acted in accord with the
wishes of the G. e. B. and the bosses
and has selected a committee of 5 to
meet the bosses as specified in the
above mentioned letter.
The wage cut is sure thing I'M
less the painters organize themselves
under the leadership of the left wing
opposition and carry on a struggle
against not only the bosses but the
leadership Of the union who are able
partners in order to effect this wage
cut.
In New Jersey the painters have
already been forced to accept a wage
cut from IL to 10 dollars; this wage
cut affects 1000 painters. The New
York painters must learn from the
lesson Of the Jersey painters and
fight Of the attempts of the bosses
to cut the wages.
