HOSPITAL TRIES
TO CUT ON PAY
Retreat When Workers
Show Militancy

Last week, in line with the state
ment in the press that the Jewish
Federation was doing everything
within its power to reduce expendi-
lures, the Beth Israel Hospital ad-
ministration took up the question OF
reducing wages.
Word of these plans to cut the al
ready miserably low wages reached
the workers and in the laundry the
workers openly stated that they
would refuse to accept further re-
duction in their wages. The fore
man went to the administration and
protested that the workers had be-
come unmanagable.
The hospital management fright
ened by the fighting spirit of the
workers issued a statement that it
had never intended to cut wages and
that some "ungrateful" worker was
spreading malicious propaganda. The
management will, of course, now try
to disarm the militnat spirit of the
workers in one form or another and
then try to put over the wage cut
in more indirect form, if possible.
The first step in this line was taken
when the workers coming to break
fast Wednesday morning, found that
there was no butter on the table
The excuse being that it was Pass
over. The workers readily under
stood this maneuver and sent a COM
n1ittee to the dietician to demand not
only butter but in addition more
substantial food for breakfast, name
ly eggs. The demand was granted
and once more the workers had
shown that through their organized
efforts it was possible to precent a
reduction in their standard and even
with a small organization win certain
improvements.
This incident showed not only the
possibility but the most immediate
necessity for the organization of the
hospital workers. The wage cutting
plans of the Jewish Federation will
only be stopped by the organized ef-
forts of the workers in the hospitals
this wage cutting policy will take
place in every hospital in the city
unless the workers organize.
Resist wage cuts, organize against
long hours and rotten food! Join the

ical Workers Industrial League, 16 w

MILLER SHOE CO.
PLANS LOCKOUT
To Force A New Wage
Cut Upon Workers

NEW YORK.-The I. Miller Shoe
Co., employing over thousand work
ers, plans to lock out the whole crew
within few days. We obtained this
information from very reliable
sources. The fact is that the cutting
department is not working for almost
a week. The sudden slack" cannot
be attributed to lack of orders. 1t
is a fact that the 1. Miller orders
are made now at the j. T. Cousines,

the ! Miller factory in Carlisley, Pa
This lockout is d scheme of the /.
Miller Shoe Co. to force still lower
wages upon the workers. Only re-
Gently the firm with the help of its
company union machinery forced
upon the workers ten per cent cut,
Not being satisfied with only ten per
cent mad noticing the growing resist
ance of the workers TO these cnStant
wage cuts the firm plans this lock-
out in order to force upon the work
ers starvation wages.
The workers, however, are alert. A
movement is going on in the factory
to block this lockout attempt, and
for the restoration Of the wages. 1t
ts not at all unlikely that it will come
to clash. The condition in the fac
tory, the spy and rush system make
the workers lives miserable as hell
This threat Of totally depriving the
workers OF their mesger livelihood, is
carried through by the firm will I'M
doubtedly be met with determined
resistance on the part of the workers.

ment will be carried out in life.

ROLPH DECISION
Pledge F i G h t for
Release of Tom
Mooney

NEW YORK.-The Intellectual
Workers League, following a Specia,
meeting yesterday morning, wired q
protest to the California governor
characterizing his decision as "claSs
verdict" The League hkened the
Mooney case to the Sacco- Vanzetti
case, and issued call to intellectu-
ais to protest against the refusal OF
a pardon.
I'VE feel that this case illus
trates," said Winchell Taylor,
spokesman for the group, "what
many people have felt: that justice
is bought and paid for In our
courts, and flagrantly so in the
case of California. 1t Is high time
the intellectuals joined the workers
in fighting class issues"
The Leagues wire to Governor
Rolph follows:
I'VE charge you with deliberately
yielding to financial pressure in
keeping Tom Mooney in Jail. The
utilities crowd which engineered
the Mooney frame-up, plus the
other VIGOROUSLY anti-labor Cali
fornia induStrialiStS, have forced
you to call Mooney guilty despite
the fact that the trial Judge and
nine of the ten living jurors have
declared him innocent. This de-
cisiOn of your will do more than
anything since the Sacco-Yanzetti
case to convince the American peo-
pie that under the present econ
Omic system money power runs the
courts. We call upon intenectuals
the world over to join the workers
in protesting this class verdict"

HYDE 0. K.'SP[ANS
FOR RURAL CREDIT.
Regulations for Lending Ten
Millions Revealed by
Secretary.

Regulations for the lending by the
Agriculture Department of the $10,-
100000 allotted by Congress to help
finance agricultural credit corporations
and live stock loan companies, were ap-
proved yesterday by Secretary Hyde.
Setting up Of corporations Of at least
$50 900 900 capital or expansions OF OLD
organizations, which. after receiving
Federal loans. will in turn aid farm
credit by rediscounting farmers notes
at the intermediate credit banks are
provided by the regulations.
Indirect Benefit Seen.
The loans are not intended to finance
farm operations directly. but to expand
credit in rural communities.
USED as a part OF the capital OF
credit corporations, live stock loan
companies or similar organizations"
Secretary Hyde said, "this sppropri-
alton will be the means by which the
communities may borrow several times
the amount supplied by the Govern
rnent for loans to farmers, and Will
operate to supplement the regular
credit system"
Department officials did not expect
any immediate large demand for the
funds because of the simpler credit
facilities provided for in the $2,122.-
O0o, 900 relief act to be handled through
the Reconstruction Corporation. Under
this plan IL agricultural credit cor
porations would be set up, one in each
Federal Reserve district. with capital
OF $50, 900, 900, capable of rediscounting
to the extent of $360.000.000.
Loans Are Limited.
Under the Agriculture Department
allotment, a group needing credit may
organize an agricultural or live stock
corporation. Loans are limited TO in
dividuals and each borrower can obtain
not more than go per cent of the par
vsIue of the stock offered as security.
II so individuals each subscribe
$1,000 in stock, the maximum to each
borrower would be $500 with $1,000
stock as collateral security deposited
with the Secretary Of Agriculture.
Upon approval of these loans, which
would bear 515 per cent interest, the
proceeds would be sent to the Federal
intermediate credit bank serving the
district.
