Furriers United Front Meet
Plans Campaign in Industry
Workers Protest LOvestOneite Proposal for
. Unity with Peace Maneuvers of Co. Union

y NEW YORK.-The United Front
Conference called at the initiative
OF the Rank and File Committee Of
100 at Irving Plaza last night ce-
mented the united front Of the fur
workers in the struggle for union
conditions.
215 elected shop delegates attended
the conference. OF those about 70
we're from shops controlled by the
Associated Fur Manufacturers.
Ben Gold reported on the cam
paign in the fur trade since the
first meeting at Cooper Union held
on June oath. He spoke in detail
on the shop strikes that are being
carried through in which the work
ers have secured increases in wages
ranging from IS to $40, and the sue
cessful strike in the dogskin line
where the workers after a two week
strike have returned to the shop vic
toTious.
A very interesting discussion de-
veloped on the question of the fake
peace maneuvers of the Stetsky-

Who decided to call a stoppage?
To us tailors they talked general
strike. We all voted for a real strike !
We all voted that demands be put
forth which would improve the con-
ditions Of the tailors in the shops.
AS on previous occasions, Hillman
and his clique have betrayed the de-
cisions, the will and the interests of
the tailors. Instead of real strike,
they called stoppage for, as they
themselves assure the bosses, only a
few days.
Every Amalgamated member can
see that this is a conspiracy on the
part of the bosses, the Hillman clique
and the police to strengthen the
bosses association and also to at
tempt to replenish the empty Golfers
Of the Hillman union.
Pointing out the series of wage
cuts in the industry Ito be published
later the declaration concludes:

Call on TaiIorS to Turn Hillman'S
StOppage Into Real Strike Struggle

to a real struggle of all clothing
workers for better conditions in the
shops.
1--WE must, in the most determined
manner, repudiate and reject Hill
mans hunger agreement. In this
way, we will demonstrate our deci-
sion for a real strike for the demand
of the rank and file, for a 40 hour
week, week work, minimum scale Of
wages, increase of unemployment in
surance to s per cent and all other
demands
Fellow Clothing Workers, when
The stoppage is called, when we are
on the streets, entire shops, all the
clothing workers, we must not per-
init ourselves TO be used by Hill
man to shear us like sheep. We
must use cur power for our own
interests. The stoppage can and
must be turned into a real struggle
for better conditions-in each shop.
"Tailors, when you stop, see to it
that your shop holds meeting. Put
forth demands to your boss. Elect a
shop strike committee Fight mill
family! Demand all reduction be re-
voked! Let no shop go back until the
demands are granted!
Don't allow inside shops to return
to work Immediately Don't heed the

officials in driving you back into the
shops on starvation conditions"

Whv Do Planes Crash?

The plane exploded in fight the wings came
of it caught fire in the air it caught fire on
the ground . it didn't catch fire at all .. the mo-
tors stopped or did they? 1t was flying
through rain and fog ice formed on the wings.
The reasons and theories put forward for the crash
in Kansas which killed Knute Rockne and seven
others are as numerous as the persons who saw the
accident So varied, so conflicting, muddled that
nothing remains except the fact that eight men mys
teriously dead
The commerce departu mt is supposed to find out
why these airpanes crash. But it will not tell. Its
attitude on making public its findings has not changed
since the rumpus raised in congress the last big
crash.
1t would like to tell, but it explains that its
clusions are based on hearay evidence only and that
public expression of its opinion would bring forth
storm of law suits, with its hearsay testimony
basis.
This is high tme-for the good of aviation If moth
ing else-that a different arrangement be made 1t is
high time the public is permitted to know why air
planes crash instead Of drawing hazy conclusions from

integration.

But the unexplained death of one national idol

Earthquake and Canal

The washington government is at its best in
meeting relief emergencies such as the Managua
earthquake With promptness and efficiency, state,
war and navy departments and the Red Cross are
co-operatine to speed the maximum of immediate
relief which money and organization can produce.
Carrying the heaviest burden is the marine corps,
whose officers and troops were stationed in the
devastated capital. They merit the highest praise.
Perhap this opportunity to befriend stricken
population will mitigate in part the Nicaraguan dis
trust of the United States because Of our repeated
imperalistc invasions of that country. We hope So
But already certain Washington officials are using
the earthquake an excuse to postpone again the
long delayed marine evacuation.
Postponement would be unjustifed. 1t would in
flame more hatred of us throughout Central and
South America According to the recently an
nounced plan, the present force OF 1900 marines
os to be cut to 500 by June l, and the evacuation
completed next year That time allowance is too
long rather than too short
Rebuilding Managua is not marine but civilian
Jop and it is a N'caraguan Job.
Naturally, this earthquake has revived doubts in
some quarters as to the feasibility Of the proposed
United States canal across Nicaragua, which now is
under army survey at direction Of congress.
1t too early yet to reach decision, but reports to
science Service stating that the route OF the pro-
posed canal lies almost directly across the point of
greatest violence of the earthquake that devastated
Managua indicate that this element Of gamble should
be considered very seriously before proceeding with
the canal project.
Though Panama also is in the earthquake area,
trenlors are more severe in Nicaragua. repetition
of this unusually severe earthquake along the proposed
route probably would destroy the canal and locks if
they we're built.
Army engineers now in Nicaragua, preparing a
canal report for submission to congress in December,
should include in their study exhaustive report on
the earthquake hazard.

Overthrowinp the Law

Laws may be destroyed by inactivity as
well as by overt act. The long delay Of the
Governor in filling certain appointments
amounts to notification of the safeguards
set up for the protection of the public.
This is true of the trustees of state insti-
tutions where the law, in theory, attempts
to provide for management by boards Of
nonpolitical nature, but with special quail
fications for the particular institution for
which they are named.
On large number Of these boards the
terms of trustees have expired and the mem
bers serve by sufferance of the Governor.
That means that these members, If they
choose to remain or escape humiliation, must
become rubber stamps for the Governor. The
nonpoltical boards become political.
When the practice is extended to Judge
ships of local courts, the matter becomes
serious The judge in that event must be
strongly tempted to walk warily among the
political friendships of the Governor and to
render decisions with one eye on the law
book and the other on the statehouse.
In the cases of other important offices,
such as fire marshal or purchasing agent the
effect is serious.
The practice of the Governor in refusing
to name officials when terms become vacant
establishes a dictatorship OF kind.
The practical results may be little differ
snt than would be obtained by selections of
the master minds who now run state affairs,
but the precedent is thoroughly bad and inde-
fensible.

Migraine Headaches Come Suddenly

Some merely complain of blurred
vision.
The pain usually begins around
one eye and then spreads over va
rious parts Of the head, even in
volving the entire head. Less COM
monty it begins at the back of the
head.
The pain is increased by bright
lights, noise, or by mental effort.
Sometimes the whole head seems
tender to the touch.
The pain and discomfort may in
crease until the person has nausea
and vomiting. after which there may
be relief.
One Of the facts which make
physicians believe that the condi-
ton is allergic is the association
with the headache Of such symp-
toms as diarrhea, chllliness, flush
ing, disturbances of vision, sweat
ing and nervousness, which disap-
pear when the headache subsidies.
The treatment Of migraine de-
nands the most careful possible
attention from every point of view,
to remove such exciting factors as
may be found in the specific case
When these exciting factors are
brought under control, and when the
hygiene of the individual Is placed
on a systematic basis which min
imizes these factors, there is likely
to be prompt Improvement.

KTIGRAINE headaches recur
Nl over long periods of time
and usually affect individuals whose
families have been susceptible to
headaches.
AS is the case with many other
disturbances Of the nervous system
women much more frequently are
affected by migraine than are men
The attacks usually come on sud-
denly and frequently are preceded
by periods of nervous strain. BY
nerve strain is meant emotional ex-
citement, such as is associated with
disagreements; with eyestrain, oc-
curing from long periods Of read
ing particularly in poor light; close
mental work, such as is involved in
mathematical calculations; insult
ficient sleep; digestive disturbances,
and excesses of all sorts, including
overeating, visual excess and other
forms Of immoderation.
Inc numerous JneOrleS JnaC exist
as to the cause Of migraine in
dicate the possibility that one Of
the theories is correct and the still
further possibility that there may
be several causes of the various
types of disturbances involved.
Studies Of the anatomy Of ne
tissues involved indicates to some

investigators that the onset of the
attack is associated with spasm of
the small blood vessels in the brain.
On the other hand the reason for
onset of the spasm may be some
anatomical deformity. some unusual
condition Of physiology, some chem
ical disturbance or perhaps a hy-
per-sensitivity to certain protein
substances.
Investigators have found that
there are remarkable changes in
the amount Of certain chemical con-
stituents in the blood during the
attack, and it may be that the
chemical changes in the cells are
the basic cause.
The attack of nigraine usually
begins in childhood or youth, but
rare cases are described in which
the attacks first come on after
thirty years of age.
Sometimes the attack stops spon-
taneously after 40 or so years Of
age, but cases are reported in which
the condition has persisted
throughout life.
The attack Of migraine is differ
ent from the ordinary headache. Be-
fore it begins the person may have
a sense Of fatigue or depression. be
slightly dizzy and be disturbed by
unusual visual disorders.
