HOOVER GREEN
FOR WAGE CUT
FURL0UGH PLAN
House Expe ct e d to
Pass Blow at Govt
Employees

WASHINGTON. June 2o-The &C
ceotance by the House of Represen-
tatives of the plan to furlough all
governmental employees for one
month without paw, was indicated
here today. President Hoover in
sisted thet this plan is supported by
William Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor as being sin keep
ing with his suggestion for FIVE
day week
This plan is more vicious than the
direct wage-cut of II per cent orig
inally Incorporated by the House of
REPRESENTATIVE in the economy
bill. Not only does it mean that all
governmental employees will be de-
prived of their pay for one month,
which in itself amounts a drastic
wage-cut, but it calls for increased
soeed-up resulting undoubtedly in
the displacement of many workers
The Green slogan OF the five day
week" is with consequent wage re-
auctions in them welcomed by the
capitalists and their government. II
is a wage cutting measure.
Representative LaGuardia approves
of this stagger system but pretends
to be fighting for half-month fur
Tough instead Of a whole month fur
Tough. His stand, which is the stand
of the so-called progressives, indi-
Gates therefore that the House Of
Representative is now almost unan-
imously in favor of the plan which
will be incorporated in the economy
bill instead of the direct II per cent
> wage cut.
The only controversial point is the
extent of the furlough and it is clear
that this point will be cleared out by
compromise. The prevailing opinion
here is that the House will pass the
plan with slight notifications

SHOE WORKERS
REFUSE TO SCAB
Four Brought from
Mass. by /. Miller


NEW YORK.-A very interesting
story was told to the I. Miller Shoe
strikers yesterday morning by four
shoe workers from Haverfill Mass.
One of them was notified by Watson,
a Board of Trade agent. to come to
work for l. Miller and bring alone as
many lasters as he could reach. This
worker came to New York with three
more lasters, When they reported
for the job they asked the boss what
sort of tricks he was up to, by call
ing workers from out of town to come
scabbing in New York.
LAS long as there is picket line,
we shall not work. " one worker said.
"I am 30 years in the trade and never
took somebody's job away and never

of theUnion, rousing welcome on
his return from Long Island Jail for
strike duty. Rosenberg and Plecan
served a ten-day sentence, He was
sentenced by Judge Georgia of Long
Island Magistrates Court for his
strike activity.
Miller is now resorting to another
scheme of fooling the workers. Spe-
cial deliveries are being sent out to
the strikers to report to the Office Of
the firm. The purpose is to make
them sign statements that they want
to go to work, but they are kept out
against their will The strikers are
