Representing the International
Workers Order, Joseph Brcdsky
stated that the $4,000 Worker-mern-

be fooled by the illusion of pacifism
but would fight militantly against
imperialist war and for the defense
of the Soviet Union.
Challenges Hays
Challenging Hays remarks that
war was not caused by capitalism,
Brodsky said that capitalistic nations
are plotting war against the Soviet
Union for the purpose of bolstering
up their own system, crumbling under
the crisis.
"Mr. Hays is opposed to the sup
preston Of the right of free speech
and free assemblage," Brodsky said
"but who does the depressing and
the arresting Of those struggling for
the right to live? Are they not the
capitalists?" The audience applauded
vigorously when he called upon the
World Congress Against War to
come out unequivocally for a defense
of the Soviet Union.

GROUP REVOLTS
AGAINST HILLMAN
PAY-CUT PLANS
Buttonh0le Makers,
Filters, Turner's
Balk at Cut

NEW YCRK-F'itters buttonhole
makers and turner's revolted yester-
Gay against the wage-cut swindle
being put over by Sidney Hillrnan in
the mems garment trade.
The revolt of the workers in these
three sections affected chiefly the
children's Jacket makers. The work
ers refused to return to the shops
after Wage-cut deal was put over
by the Amalgamated clique. Workers
in the Wasserman, Gimbell, Kirfleld,
Rubin, JaQffman & Sussman and
other shops refused to accept the
cut.
Later in the day the committee of
workers leading the revolt were
called in by the Contractors Associa-
ton When the committee appeared
in the Office they were confronted by
Tony F'roise, an official of the union
Mr. Greeff of the Association told
the committee to send the workers
back to the shops and they would
settle ION an individual basis" and
not with the committee. This pro-
posal the committee fatty rejected.
Threatens to Use Scabs
Froise thereupon spoke to the
committee as follows: "If you will
not go back to work and accept
wage cuts like everyone else I will
send scabs on your jobs"
The statement of this traitor was
welcomed by the Contractors Asso-
ciaticn manager, who said, Go to
it, Tony. 1 am with you 100 per
cent"
The officials sent cutter to the
Gross shop on 25ht Street. He re-
fused to scab on his brother taiIors
and left the job. Workers in the
Kinmel shop refused to return to
work under the wage reductions.
More Cuts
Meanwhile Hillman continues to
aid the bosses put over new cuts.
Workers in the Walner and Smith
shop were told that they were to be
cut 10 per cent.
The Amalgamated Rank and File
Committee urged all tailors to "fol-
low the example of the filters, turn
ers and buttonhole makers by refus-
ing to return to the shops under wage
Said "Some VIII Suffer-
At a meeting in Brooklyn held
yesterday noon Mr.. TIillman said.
Some of the workers will gain and
some will suffer"
Socialist Lies
Mr.. Miller, secretary treasurer of
the union and leading socialist, stood
up and lied that the union would let
workers go back without a wage cut"
While the speeches were going on
the workers paid very little attention.
Following the speaking, when work
ers asked for the floor, the chairman
adjourned the meeting. A delegate
from Local 81 shouted that there
would be no discussion by the rank
and file.
Another shop hit by the HiIlman
pay-cut plan was the Davis shop at
56 Ainsley Street. The workers in
this shop were told by the Anal
gamated officials to return to work
at a "a per cent wage cut.

plants, it Is evident that such plants
cannot make a start if thick mat OF
grass is growing about them.
The important steps in maintaining
a vigorous stand of grass that will
prevent the inroad of weeds and will
tend to crowd out those already In
the lawn are as follows:
l. Feed the lawn at regular inter-
walls with a complete plant food.
2. Water the lawn whenever the
soil becomes dry. Soak it thoroughly
and do not water again until the need
becomes evident.
3. Cut grass regularly. Do not cut
the grass closer than one and one
half inches from the soil surface and
do not allow it to become more than
three inches in height.
Feeding encourages dandelions to
grow more upright. In this position
they are cut each time the lawn is
moved. Cutting greatly reduces their
vigor, while it encourages the grass.
This difference is due to the differ
ence in method of growth. The grow
ing area of the grass blade is located
at the base and is not removed when
the lawn is moved
On lawns relatively free of dande-
lions it is best to remove the dande-
lion plants with sharp implement
such as an asparagus knife. If the
dandelion root is cut at depth of
five inches it will not produce new
growth. When it is cut at this depth
by inserting an asparagus knife under
it and lifting the dandelion plant as
we'll as a portion of the sod, the en-
tire root of the dandelion is often
pulled from the soil. The small area
of sod should then be replaced.
