Betty Cow, nurse in the Lind
bergh home, is scheduled to take
the stand today in the trial Of
John H. Curtis, Norfolk, Va,

Lindbergh himself took the stand

relations with Curtis who claimed
to have contacts" with the kid
nappers and later under police
pressure declared that the whole
thing was hoax.
The nurse, when she takes the
stand, will be questioned about
each move she has made since
March /, the prosecutor an
nounced today. Newspapermen
say it will be a terrific strain
for her.

FORD CALLS
TO FIGHT ON
WAGE CUTS
Talks in New Bedford
on Day Mill Workers
Take Big. Slash
FORM UNITED FRONT
Democrats Offer No
Relief to Jobless

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 3D.
Yesterday 300 Gosnold mill workers
here got a II per cent wage cut, and
James w. Ford, Communist candi-
date for vice-president spoke in
Bristol Arena the same night. He
assailed the wage cut as another ex-
ample Of the Hoover starvation pro-
gram. He pointed to the plank in
the Communist Party election plat
form which calls for fight against
Hoover's wage cutting policy.
"The workers must organize anti
wage cut committees to defnd them
selves from starvation" Ford de-
clared, amidst cheers of the 800 work
ers in the hall. Ford proved by the
examples of scores of strikes won in
New York needle shops and else
where recently, that workers, if they
organize their strikes properly, can
win them right in the midst of the
industrial crisis. workers must re-
sist now, or die" Ford said.
Jim Reid Speaks.
Speaking with the Communist can
didate for president, a Negro
worker, was a white worker grown
old in the struggle of the textile
workers. This was Jim Reid, presi-
dent of the National Textile Workers
Union, and Communist candidate for
governor of Rhode Island. Reid called
on the textile workers to remember
the lessons of the last strikes, when
the United Textile Workers sold them
out. He warned them to beware of
takers and urged formation of united
front shop committees and strike
committees to fight wage cuts.
No Relief from Democrats
Ford dashed into the Democratic
Party draft platform now before its
national convention in Chicago. The
platform provides not one thing for
the jobless. Disguised as unemploy-
ment relief is the Wagner Bill with
its billions for capitalist building
contractors, and the proposal in the
Democratic Party Convention key
note speech, for five days week with
wage cuts, of course. New Bedford
workers are $4,000 of them on no
days week, and practically no re-
lief either.
The city government, rnill-con-
troled, is carrying on a campaign of
intimidation and stool pigeons are
everywhere.
The Ford meeting was announced
over the radio.

JOBLESS PROTEST
DONKEY PROGRAM
1000 Demonstrate for
Insurance, Chicago

CHICAGO, Ill, June 2S.-Two
thousand Chicago workers and I'M
employed workers demonstrated at
Honore and Jackson Blvd, near the
Stadium where the Democratic Party
National Convention was just then
getting into session, yesterday.
Speakers of the Unemployed Coun-
Gil, of the Communist Party, and the
Trade Union Unity League reused en-
thusiastic cheering as they called on
the masses Of part time and jobless
workers to demand unemployment in
surance, to fight against forced labor
and to organize and fight against the
wage cuts.
A struggle, which involves an or
ganized picketing of flop houses in
Chicago, is now going on, against
forced labor.
Chicago has a Democratic Party
man for mayor. And it has one of
the largest populations of unem-
ployed workers in the country. Wage
cuts are increasing, all the stockyard
companies have now cut from 10 to
80 per cent. City workers are not
paid at all, and have not been for
months. A strike of $500 street
cleaners demanding their back pay
and some promises of pay in the flu
ture, is going on.
A. F. of L. for Mayor Walker. -.
Joe Weber, secretary of the Trade
Union Unity League sharply con-
demned the Chicago Federation of
Labor officials, Nockles and Fitzpat-
rick, who greeted Mayor Walker, no
torious for having the jobless dubbed,
with brass band at the station and
who hail him as Our Jimmy
Walker is here as leading delegate
TO the convention.
The capitalist press reports that
whenever delegates considered prom
inent enough by Mayor Cermak's ad-
ministration to deserve police es-
cort came along, the jobless lined
the sidewalks and booed them.
Communist Candidates Speak.
Among the speakers were leading
Communist candidates for state Of
flee: Leonides Mcdonald, Negro
worker and candidate for governor of
Illinois; Herbert Newton, Negro wor-
ker and candidate for congress in the
district which is, now represented
congress by Oscar DePriest; Osby,
candidate for state assembly and
Lamson, an active member of the
unemployed council and candidate
for congress from the ninth district.
The crowd enthusiastically pledged
to carry on the fight for unemploy-
ment insurance.

MOVE TO ADOPT
WAGE-CUT BILL
Senate Recalls Report
On Economy Bill

WASHINGTON, June 28.-Enact-
ment of the economy" bill drastic
ally cutting the wages of Federal en-
ployees by about II per cent was
predicted as the Senate recalled the
report CT the Congressional confer
ees which had been previously re-
jected
Senators and Representatives con-
ferring on the economy bill had de-
cided to report favorably on q COM
promise striking of the differences
between the Senate and the House.
The report however was rejected by
the Senate, and today it was called
back by a vote of 90 against II.
If the bill is enacted, as it is as
sured, the major part of the econo-
mics called for will be realized at
the expense of the federal employees
who will be forced to accept fur
loughs of one month without pay
which will cut their wages by more
than per cent. AS all leaves of abb
sence with pay will be suspended
during the next fiscal year, the real
extent of the wage-cut for those en-
ployees entitled to a month vacation
will be still larger, it will amount to
II per cent.
Agreement on Relief" Bill Predicted
AS the designated Senators and
Representatives met again to confer
on the Wagner bill for the purpose
OF harmonizing it with the Garner
bill, it appeared that an early agree
n1ent will be reached. 1t was dis
closed that the Finance Reconstruc-
ton Corporation will receive discre-
tionary powers to make loans, out Of
its increased holdings, to bankers
and industrialists for profit yielding
projects and to the state and NUM-
cipal governments for "relief."
The Wagner bill as it stands calls
for s5oo,0ooOoo of public works which
would give employment to hand
full of workers in the future. Hoover
opposed this, but now he seems to
favor about s13o,ooo,ooO for such
works. The number of workers who
in the distant future may be bene-
fitted will thus be still further.

FAIRMONT, w Va June Is

one striker and wounding seven
more. James Shaffer, aged 80 and

miners may die al any time. The
company gun thugs who did the kill
ing are Herbert Vance, j. r. Thomp-
son and G. w. Golf. They await
white washing in the Monongah
County Jail. Intense resentment is
shown among the miners.
From the best accounts, the pick
cts were standing rs yards from two
scabs loading sand on car to take
down in the mine. Apparently irri-
tated at the pickets' shouted argu-
ment with the scabs, the gun thugs
suddenly began shooting right into
the picket line. 1t was plain MUIR
