/ PRINTERS REUSED
BY BOSS THREATS
But Officials Hurry to
Disclaim Strike

NEW YORK.-The Amalgamation
Party, the organized rank and file
group in the International Typogra-
phical Union No sharply criticizes
the officials of big 6" for sitting
idly by while notices of the employ
ers appear in the shops announcing
the abolition of priority and a wage
cut from $135 to SLIP and a half
cents after Oct. l. Abolition of pri-
Gritty breaks even an international
law Of the union. 1t means that the
foreman can hire and fire as they
like, it establishes a kind of terror
in the shops, it helps the union off,
Gals to build a stronger machine
and it WILL by admission of some of
the employers, increase the number
of jobless.
Instead of putting the workers on
q strike basis, preparing for struggle,
the officials of Big g. have sent a
slavish, cringing letter to the en-
ployers, assuring them that: "Those
employers who fear a stoppage of
their work without cause on their
part can be treasured that no such
action is contemplated by the union"
and begging that the wage scale go
to arbitration" as once agreed on
and that International President
Howard be asked first before priority
is definitely abandoned. Howard is
to be in New York to take up the
matter during this week.

SOCIALIST" HOAN
IN TERROR
Homes Raided, Arrest
Many in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, Sept, 26.-The Mil
wauke section Of the I. L. D. has
issued the following account of the
terror now raging in this "socialist"
conroled town:
"Relief is being cut in milwaukee
County. Both the old Party politi-
clans and Socialists are wing in their
economy" measures at the expense
of the unemployed and part time
workes.
when, under the leadership of the
Unemployed Council, thousands Of
workes gathered at South Side re-
lief station to win relief for starving
families, the police dubbed the
workers and jailed fourteen. Bail is
refused upon every paltry excuse.
Workers homes were raided in the
night, and the women and Children
knocked around by the police. This
happened to the homes of Ben Fifer
and Carl Lester, among others. Re-
personalities of the I. L. d. who
went to the jail to see these workers,
were fingerprinted and mugged like
criminals known leaders of the
unemployed are daily being picked off
the streets and put through the Bu-
reau of identification then released
with no charges against them. At
every workes' meetings, dozens of
police, dicks and provocateurs are
presnt.
when the Unemployed Council
committees come with workers denied
relief, they are subjected to intirni-
dalton and provocation upon an I'M
heard of scale. Attempts are being
made to disfranchise workers on the
relief list. Other workers are being
shipped out of the city because they
ask for relief, even though some OF
them have lived here for years.
"At all of Hoans meetings during
his present tour, he should be forced
to answer why he is having the I'M
employed dubbed for demanding re-
lief"

,place today at 8 pm.
Meetings last night of other locals
were expected to do likewise.
Conference Program
The program adopted by the con-
ference last week was for the mem
bership of all locals to:
/, Restrict the council delegates
from participating in any way with
the Ackerly -zausner machine.
2. Conduct a referendum in the
local unions to withdraw all power
from Ackerly. +
3. Arrange mass meeting and
elect delegates to the conference
today.
Locals 261 and 905 at their regular
meetings Friday refused to hear the
minutes sent by Ackerly and also re
jected the new wage cut agreement
Both elected delegations to the
meeting today.
Be Careful!
The left wing, which alone fought
firmly against the wage cuts from the
beginning, urges the membership to
remember that many of the local
union politicians were guilty of
giving Ackerly power which he used
to set up the notorious crater zausner
as dictator here.
Some of Zausner's friends who were
double crossed by Ackerly are now in
opposition" to Zausner, but cannot
be relied on to stay there. Be care
full who your leaders are in this new
fight that is developing.
NuIlify Agreement!
The Rank and File, under the left
wing leadership, must fight for the
following:
1. Nullify and void the agreement
made between the employers and
Ackerly;
2. Abolish the alteration depart
ment;
8. One scale of wages for all paint
ers;
4. Reorganize the District Council;
5. Elect new delegates who are hon
est representatives Of the rank and
file;
6. Elect a new agreement commit
tee, which shall negotiate with the
employers for one-scale wage and
conditions on the jobs;
7. All agreements must be ratified
by the membership by a referendum
vote before it is signed.

Call for Support to
Natl Students League

A call for the support of the Ma
tional Students League has just been
issued by prominent intellectuals and
men of letters.
"The new student movement" says
the statement, "has crystalized around
the alert organization known as the
National Student League. The League
has affiliations now in more than
100 campuses. 1t has shown infecti-
Gus vitality; it has galvanized many
inactive liberal clubs into new life
and drawn them into its ranks.
1.-THE League organized the Ken
lucky expedition, its Columbia branch
led the free speech fight, its groups
at the city colleges led the fees fight.
The League sent a delegate to the
International Student Conference
and the World Congress Against War,
which took place at Amsterdam. The
League publishes an excellent MONTH
ly magazine, the Student Review.
$50 far the League has been sup
ported by the students themselves.
But student purses are slim, and the
rapid growth of the League and the
manifold activities it has to carry on,
have overwhelmed its resources. At
the moment it needs money badly if
it is to consolidate the position it
has won and realize its extraordinary
promise.
80 far the students have done all
we older men and women off the
campus could have expected and
more. Let us now do our part"

MARRIED WOMEN
Dismissal Held No Unem.
ployment Remedy

Washington, D. C. GLNS)-"The
dismissal of married women would
not remedy unemployment 1t would
scarcely make dent in the situation,
even were it not too unjust and i'm
practicable to consider" says the ex-
ecutive board of the National Trade
Union League of America in letter
sent to Walter S. Clifford, director of
the Presidents Organization on I'm
employment Research.
"The married-woman question must
not become a smoke SCREEN" the let
ter urges, "to hide the real unem-
ployment problems of providing work
by shortening hours, and increasing
the consumers purchasing power by
sharing the earnings of industry.
"The only fair dismissal policy
with reference to women, as to men, y
the league contends, "is to consider
each case on its merits. Not the mar
riage status, but economic status OF
the worker, the need the number OF
dependents, the service given, etc.
should determine the preference, pro.
viding, of course, that all possible
means of spreading work have beer
exhausted. Even if the married wom
an has not dependents, three is NJ
more reason for dismissing her thar
for dismissing the young man wht
has no dependents, or the young mar
or young woman who is living a
home Married or unmarried, it il
safe to assume that most people worl
for their living because they have n,
other means of support for them
selves or Others"
The National Women's Trade Tn
ion League letter was prompted, ac
cording to Miss Elisabeth Christman
secretary treasurer of the organiza
ton, by the persistent cropping up o
recommendations to dismiss married
women in public service and in othel
occupations, here and throughout th
country.

NEGRO LANDLORD
Turns B0otlegger Rather
Than Gust JObless
Tenants

Cincinnati, O. (ILNS)-An unusual
story of reciprocal charity and mu-
tual understanding was revealed in
the trial here Of Isham Bryant, TO-
year-old negro landloard, who risked
Jail sentence rather than squeeze his
poor tenants for their rent.
Bryant was arraigned before Judge
Robert Nevin in federal court here
on charge Of violating the dry laws.
His counsel then revealed that the
aged negro's sole support was the
income from several houses he own
ed. These were of course inhabited
by poor negroes like himself. all
without work for almost a year.
When tax-paying time approached
Byrant found that he was without
