HOME BUILDING 'FURLOUCH NOW,
SHOWS GAIN URGES M'CARL

If deral establishments
would work off their compulsory
legislative time of "a days at the
rats of five days a month, the
maximum permitted unless en-
ployes consent to more, and thus
finish the furlough within five
months, it would simplify matters
all around, Comptroller General
j. R. McCarl emphasized this
week.
In more than one letter to a
perplexed departmental executive,
he pointed out that emergencies
may later develop, that Congress
will resume soon, and that after
January l unforeseen expenses
and rush work may make
furloughing of employees difficult.
Offices which can spare en-
ployes for a full month, may
wisely let those employees who are
willing take full calendar
month off this summer, it is
contended.
To Brigadier General Hines,
director of the Veterans Admin
istration, he was particularly
urgent on this point this week.
General Hines had reminded that
his staff already is overworked,
and that when Congress recon
venes work will be increased.
McCarl repeated his suggestion to
work off the necessary 24-day
furlough now if possible.

4 PROTEST MEETS
TODAY AGAINST
FAKE PEACE CONF.

-Four meetings of working women
will be held today in New York and
Brooklyn in protest against the Con-
ference for the Cause and Cure of
War which starts today in Washing
ton. This conference is an instru-
ment of the borgeoisie in hiding
from working women the real cause
for war, the capitalist system; and it
also seeks to hide the fact that only
the proletarian revolution will put an
end to imperialist war.
Three of the protest meetings are
open air meetings and will be held
at IL o'clock noon at the following
points: 36th st. and 9th Ave, New
York City Pauline Rogers, speaker !;
38th st. and 9Th Ave, New York
City Rose Nelson, speaker; Fulton
and Court Sts,, Brooklyn (Sadie Van
Veen, speaker.
Tonight at p. m, In the Board
walk Hotel, Coney Island, an indoor
mass meeting will be held. Pauline
Rogers will be the speaker.
Readers of the Daily Worker are
referred to page 4 of today's issue,
on which is printed an article giving
forth more fully the organizations
represented at this conference in
Washington and the working
class character of the whole affair.

Militant Mass Demonstrations
Force Announcement That
Relief Stations Will REOPEN
Workers Must Continue Struggle for AIDE
quate Relief; Prepare Feb. Demonstrations!

NEW YORK-Announcement was
made yesterday that the 70 relief
stations closed down by the city are
to be re-opened today. The stations
were shut down following an ulti-
matum -to the city by the House of
Morgan to stop any relief whatever
to the starving, unemployed workers
and their families. The announce
ment of re-opening of the stations
comes as result of the tremendous
mass reports organized and led by
the Communist Party, especially the
demonstration at City Hall on Fri
day.
In making the announcement,
Frank j. Taylor, Welfare Commits
sioner, admitted that only million
dollars would be available for relief,
and even this is dependent upon
negotiations still going on for loan
to the city by the banking interests.
The unemployed workers should
not be deceived by the mere promise
to reopen the relief stations, but

keep the unemployed from fighting
for real relief.
Cox's latest move was a huge mass
meeting at Pitt Stadium, Pittsburgh,
attended, according to capitalist press
estimates, by $4,000, among whom
we're many rich business men. Most
OF those present, however, we're
workers and unemployed.
AT this meeting Father Cox put
himself forward as a presidential
candidate, receiving the support OF
John M. Phillips, president of the
Pennsylvania State Federation OF
Labor, in theis effort to direct the
mass discomfort of the workers into
the channels OF working for Father

Father Cox said that national
convention Of jobless was planned
for St. Louis on Labor Day unless
nationwide unemployment relief is
provided in the meanwhile" and
that a third party of the unem-

many phrases about Wall Street and
the necessity of organizing against
