Davis cautiously favored a
sales tax. The archbishop de-
nounced Communism, radical
ism in the colleges, and birth con-
troll.
Green Praises Davis and Prelate
President Green praised Davis as
one who has always remained loyal
and devoted to the trade union move
ment." Green promised the arch
bishop that his speech would be
printed and distributed, after the pre-
late had congratulated the delegates
that their sons were not exposed to
the poison of revolutionary doctrines
and told them that: ''Your own minds
are not degraded by radicalism." Re-
solute steps are needed, the arch
bishop said, to resist the drive of
Communism for world power.
The welcome to Davis did not ap-
pear to lack warmth even though he
is still under indictment, after one
mistrial, for a low form of lottery
racketeering in the Loyal Order Of
Moose at the expense of the workers
who make up the majority of its
membership.
Such perSonageS as Davis and the
archbishop always occupy a promi-
nent place on the speakers list of
A. F. of L. convention since they
help greatly to create the proper re-
dictionary atmosphere for its proceed
ings.
Low Status of Women Workers
An important revelation was made
by Mary Anderson of the Womens
Bureau of the Department of Labor
when she stated that there are two
and one-half million more women
working than ten years ago, and that
they receive on an average only two
thirds and one-half the wages of men
for the same kind of work.
Huge Official Salaries
The report of the auditing COM
mittee disclosed the fact that Pres
ident Green and Secretary Morrison
are still receiving their pre- crisis SAL
aries of $4,000 and $4,000 per year
respectively.
Resolutions before the convention
include proposals for a labor party,
government ownership of banking,
federal unemployment insurance (the
latter introduced by the delegation of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers., repeal of the
nrohibition laws. for union agreements
expiring on the same date, for Moo
ney's release, for independence of the
Philippine Islands, against the bank
er propaganda" against the school
budgets.
The convention holds no sessions
today and there will be little done
until Monday when it is expected
that reports on the various resolu-
tions will begin.

Large numbers of pamphlets are

MCKEE REFUSES
TO OPEN ARMORY
Says He Carried Out
Hoover Instructions

NEW YORK. K.-Mayor Mckee today
denied the demands of delegation
Of unemployed to provide one nights
food and shelter to the National Hun
ger Marchers passing through here.
He refused also to open unused arm
ories and hospitals for homeless men
and women Of this city.
The press, including the Daily
Worker reporter, was excluded from
the conference between the mayor
and the three delegates of the job
less. When the latter demanded to
have the press present during their
interview, the Mayor said: I'VE won't
permit the press into this room"
In his chamber, closely guarded by
detectives and policemen, the mayor
"glared like bulldog" one of the
delegates said. The Tammany mayor
Mckee said he was following Hoover's
instructions to discourage the hun
ger marchers. He, couched in evasive
language his refusal to provide hous-
ing and one meal to the marchers.
Don't quote me as promising any
thing" the mayor growled.
When informed that the mayors of
Boston, Baltimore and other cities
were providing food and lodging for
as many as 1000 marchers, Mayor
Mckee said: Il don't care what the
mayors of other cities have done"
The jobless delegates we're Richard
Sullivan, Secretary of the Greater
New York Committee for Winter Re-
lief; Sam Wiseman, Unemployed
Council organizer; and Craig Mark,
representing the Brooklyn committee
of the Winter Relief conference.
Asked by them to loan idle city
trucks to transport the marchers to
Washington. Mckee retorted: Il don't
know whether l can do it. and on
principle l would nos do it." Again
in fancy words, he refused to say
he would endorse the marchers' de-
mands for $50 immediate cash relief.
will you give an armory or not?"
Wiseman asked What will you do
when 200 marchers from New Eng
land arrive here and stand on the
streets here waiting for relief? Will
you send your representatives there to
see whether they need it?"
Tn Mayor said well see when the
situation arises"
Craig Mark, Negro, asked Mckee
what the city was doing about the
many instances Of discrimination a
gainst Negroes, especially at relief
buros. The mayor answered in his
oily way that he knew of no such
instances.
Craig. however, pointed to many
specific instances of discrimination
against Negroes. He also demanded
that the Y.WC.A. building in Har-
lem be opened to the iobless. The
Mayor refused.
