BRONX PAINTERS
OUT ON STRIKE
Urge Workers to Help
on Picket Line

NEW YORK.-The workers OF the
Hunts Point Decorating Co., of 1872
Hunts Point Ave, Bronx, and the
Art Craft Decorating Co. of Bronx
vile are all out on strike and show
wonderful spirit. All of the men were
out on the picket line this morning.
The bosses were running around to
inspect the jobs to see whether the
men really mean to carry out their
decision to strike until they win their
demands. This assurance they found
when they came to the jobs and
found the men picketing there in
good numbers. One of the bosses is
beginning to weaken already.
He is trying to convince the work
ers that by picketing his jobs they
will ruin" him. The workers told
him that this will be his hard luck"
The same boss, Max Nichtenberg, is
member of the Krakauer branch
OF the Workmen's Circle.
Mr.. Smith, of the Aircraft Co.,
thinks that he can break the strike
by seeking help from the AT. of L.
local Of Mt. Vernon. We are sure
that the rank and file members of
the A. F. of L. local unions will not
be niSled by the same officials who
are today cooperating with the
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton in putting over a general wage
cut of Is to 40 per cent thruout the
building industry. On the contrary,
we are sure that the rank and file
Of the A. F. of L. workers will sup
port this strike and refuse to scab
on us.
We urge every painter to come to
the strike headquarters, 1925 South
ern Boulevard, Bronx, and help us
to picket the jobs on strike.
The Alteration Painters will hold
a general membership meeting We'd
nesday, March %, at pm. at Irving
Plaza Hall.
At this meeting there will be a
general report on the activity on how
far we got with the organization of
the union. There also will be a re-
port on the strike we are conducting
at the present tine. One of the
strikers will report on the strike. A
report of the coming wage cut and
the situation Of the workers in the
A. F. of L. building trades unions will
be given by George E. Powers, sec
rotary of the Building Trades League.
1t is very important for every mem
Der to come to this meeting and all
other painters, organized and unor-
ganized, are urged to come and line
up in the organization.

COUNCIL WINS
RELIEF FOR TWO
Mass Pressure Wins /:
Lone Action Failure

NEW YORK. - The DoWtoWn I'm
employed Council continues its record
Of unemployed victories every day.
Five cases came to the council to-
day. In each case the council mob
ilized committee and went with the
destitute workers to the Home Relief
Bureau. In two cases relief was Sc
cured Immediately, the remaining
three were promised relief for today.
Benny Warren. one of the workers
who won relief, had been registered
at the burtau. for some time. He
had gone to the bureau individually
asking when his needs would be cared
for. each time the officials postponed
the case. FINALLY he was evicted
waiting for aid and had to live in
cellar The organized action of the
council forced the bureau to pay
months rent and give him a food
card.
v. Friedman, PSI E. 7th, had also
been registered for some time and as
in the case of Warren could get no
satisfaction as an individual but
when she went with a committee of
workers, she was Immediately helped
Ironically enough, this worker lives
next door to Sol Fassler, Tammany
alderman Of the district, who pro-
missed so much for the workers when
he was elected.
The pressure and nlilitancy of the
workers is so great that the bureau
give in to their demands with little
resistance.
New workers form the committee
each day, thus broadening the ex-
perience in the tactics of winning re-
lief and educating greater numbers
in the class struggle.

On Saturday afternoon, 3S12
hours later, the country was in
wild turmoil when the extras
announced that Lindbergh had
landed in Paris, completing one
of the greatest exploits in avia-
tiCn history.
He had become a national
idol overnight,
In the ensuing five years,
Lindbergh became one of the
worlds greatest celebrities. His
flights over the United States
and through Central and South
America were followed with abb
s0rbed interest.
On May ~, 1929, he was
married TO the daughter of the
wealthy United States ambassa-
dor to Mexico. In the following
year, their baby, Charles Au-
gustus, Jr., was born. Both
events were followed with world
wide interest.
The flight of Colonel and
Mrs. Lindbergh to the Orient
last year aroused further world
wide enthusiasm.
Then on March l last, the
terrible tragedy fell on the fly
ing idol and his wife, and the
world was stunned by the kid
naping of their child.

LINDBERGH BEGAN HIS FAMOUS
FLIGHT FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY

NEW YORK, May 20. UP
Five years ago, in February and
March of 1927, small items ap-
peared in the papers about an
unheard-Of mail pilot who was
going TO fly the Atlantic for
the $4,000 Ortig prize.
No one paid much attention
and the mail flyer was not con-
ceded much chance against
such aviation stars as Byrd,
Floyd Bennett, FOnck and
others.
Mail pilot files entry for
Paris flight; C. A. Lindbergh
will fly a Ryan monOpiane,"
read the heading over his for
NAL entry in the race.
Then, on May 20, five years
ago today the country was cleo
trified to read that the young
pilot, finding the weather un-
expectedly right, had casually
climbed into his plane and
started for Paris.
1t was Friday morning, just
as today, when Lindbergh start
ed down the Roosevelt Field
runway, in the spirit of st.
Louis" The heavily loaded
plane hardly got off in safe
ty, and watchers turned their
heads when it SKINNED the
wires and roofs near the field,
apparently doomed to disaster.

country has his eyes on us and
asks us to balance the budget"
Tydings shouted, after blocking
another attempt at a vote on the

bated two days without progress.
Not as a Republican or as
Democrat, but as leader of the
country, if the President gives out
statement against these items he
will gain a million votes over

THE Democrats are kicking

Navy VIII Keep
Fleet On Coast

WASHINGTON, May 20. W.R)-
Admiral William V. Pratt, chief of
naval operations, today announced
that ships of the scouting force
would remain on the west coast
until October l.
Pratt said the decision to keep
the Atlantic fleet in Pacific waters
was based upon the desire of the
navy department to have the entire
United States fleet operate as a
single unit. He said such a move
would result in economies and in
creased efficiency.
1t was said that Secretary of
State Stimson desired the presence
of the combined fleet in the Pa
cific because of unrest in the Far
East.
The scouting force was to have
returned to New York by June Is
