NEW YORK. = Delegates of the
various teachers associations will go
to City Hall Monday to protest May
or McKee's orders for flat six per
cent voluntary" wage cut. A meet
ing of 1000 teachers at Public School
q called together by the Kindergar-
ten 6-B Teachers Association, and
other organizations, voted practically
unanimously against accepting any
wage cut at all.
1t has developed that if the teach
ers, who are on civil service rates,
do accept the wage cut, it becomes
a permanent cut and besides that, it
cuts their pensions they are supposed
to get on retiring from the service.
Furthermore. McKee's pet advis-

LONGSHORE WAGE
CUT OF II PER
CENT ORDERED
Dock Workers Must
Rush Preparations
For Struggle

NEW YORK.-The longshoremen's
wage cut is here. The deep water
steamship companies, through their
joint committee headed by Oakley
Wood and President Joseph Ryan of
the International Longshoremen's
Association, have announced their
agreement on r. per cent wage
cut on straight time, from IS cents
per hour to rs cents per hour. They
have announced the wage cut on
overtime to be 10 cents, from $1.20 to
$1.10.
The contracts will probably be
signed today. Yesterday Ryan and
Wood met to discuss the checkers
scale and both state that even these
negotiations are practically finished.
Never Agreed to Cut
The longshoremen were not con-
suited and have not agreed to the
cut. Ryan during the last few days
has ordered r,unp fake meetings OF
various locals, to which the long
shoremen were not invited, which
were packed with his henchmen, and
which put over the fraud of accept
ing the wage cut in the name of the
longshoremen. For example, the
meetings in New York had only $50
present out of the thousands of long
shoremen. In Philadelphia, no one
was allowed to answer the proposal
for cut, and when protests began
the meeting was arbitrarily ad-
journed.
No delegates elected by the long
shoremen took part in the negotia-
tons of the new scale, which is to
go into effect on Oct. l.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union has repeatedly pointed out tc
the longshoremen what a Swindle
Ryan was putting over on them, and
urged them to elect their own dock
committees to lead a fight against the
cut. 1t has urged them to organize
the rank and file in anti-wage cut
mand representation at the confer
ence with the employers, also no wage
cut.
Revolt in Philadelphia
The opposition has been best Or
ganized in Philadelphia, where prac-
tical revolt against Ryan's wage cut
is going on.
But now the cut is fact, as far as
Ryan can make it so. His plan, and
the company's plan is to jam it down
the Threats of the <longshoremen
whether they like it or not. Now the
longshoremen must decide whether
they will take this IL per cent slash
of their already low wages, wage
cut on the few hours work week
/ they get-or whether they will fight
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union pledges full support to any
struggle against the cut the long
shoremen will make.

RED CROSS SHAM
RELIEF GESTURE
Promises Nightgowns
For Winter

NEW YORK.--A new prediction
gesture of relief made by the Hoover
government, in New York State, Of
which Roosevelt is governor, was an
nounced yesterday. The announce
ment stated that the strike breaking
Red Cross and the Harvey D. Gibson
Unemployment "Relief" Committee
plan to turn 100000 yards of cot
ton cloth into clothing for the I'M
employed.
1t is admitted that last year it
took 700 women, working six days a
week 10 full months to turn $4,000
yards of material into clothing. This
means that by the time any appre-
ciable amount of clothing is ready
the winter will be entirely over, and
the unemployed will be left to freeze.
And even if the clothing would be
prepared lin time, which it will not,
it would, according to the announce
ment, consist almost entirely of cot
ton nightgowns, slips for women and
girls, dresses and wash suits, and
mems and boys shirts, not stitch
of which is protection against the
cold. Unemployed workers who have
to sleep on park benches will surely
be grateful for the nightgowns.
The Red Cross also announces this
will be "war time operation" Sol
diers in the trenches who received
impossible socks and other silly
knick knacks will agree with this.
Workers will not fall for this gro
tesque method of playing politics with
their misery, but will organize under
the Leadership of the Unemployed
Councils and the Trade Union Unity
League for an organized mass fight
for real relief for the coming winter.

STILL HOLD CARL

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 29.-In
spite of the reports in the capitalist
press that Carl Sklar has been
granted parole, he is still being held
IN Folsom State Prison. Carl Sklar
has been granted parole pending in
vestigation of the jobs obtained for
him in New York. Three lengthy
reports on these jobs have come
from New York to Mr.. Whyte of the
State Parole Board. Usually Mr..
Whyte is the final one to pass on
jobs obtained for paroled prisoners.
In the case Of Carl Sklar, he states
that he has seen the reports of the
jobs but that he will not act on
them, or take any responsibility in
making the decision, and that he is
going to turn this matter over to
the State Parole Board and have
them pass on the jobs.
In other words, the state authori-
ties are again passing the buck to
each other. We call upon all indi-
viduals and workers organizations to
Immediately send their protests to
Mr.. Whyte, Room 8, Ferry Building,
and to the State Parole Board, Re-
presa, California, demanding the i'm
mediate release of Carl Sklar as per
decision of the Parole Board. Send

warrant that is being held against
him. This delegation will be headed
