PICKET MULLER
AGENCY TODAY
Job Committee Wins
New Victories

NEW YORK.-The fight of the
Sixth Ave. Job Agency Grievance
COMMITTEE, So w. 39th St., against
the job agency sharks is spreading,
with more successes recorded every
day.
A militant worker named DeRuyter
and four other workers paid a call
at the Waldorf Employment Agency
to demand the rsturn of $40 for a
sick worker who could not appear
to defend himself. A big burIy cop
and a member of the License Bureau
were present to greet them. DeRuyter
was arrested.
DeRuyter was defended by an In
ternational Labor Defense attorney,
Blanche LAWN, who had the case
thrown out of court. She will now as
sist the Sixth Ave Council in get
ting financial satisfaction for the
robbed worker.
At the Publix Employment Agency,
1856 Sixth Ave, EStelle Keik paid
SO for a Job as house worker in a
private family She was supposed to
do light work but she found out
there was washing to do and other
heavy work.
The shark refused to return her
money. Picketing forced him to come
across. The worker is now an active
member of the Sixth Ave. Commit
tee.
1900 Workers Back Fight
The same agency sent Richard Lu-
pin, 400 Vermont St. Brooklyn to
work as soda man for Myers Lunch
eonette, 1919 Avenue J, Brooklyn. He
was fired because he refused 20 do
work not his own. The job shark re-
fused to return the $8.75 he had paid
for the Job, offering only SIS. The
Sixth Ave. Committee formed picket
lines. a crowd of 1000 workers gath
cred CO.'S answered a riot call but
could not move the crowd away, and
the Job shark had to fork over SO.
Reports also come in that many
workers get their fees returned the
minute they mention they will take
the case up with the Sixth Ave. Com
nlittee.
And now the committee calls on
every available worker to be down
this morning at 10 am. at the head
quarters, SO W. Saith ST, from where
q picket line will march to the Carl
Muller Employment Agency at 1173
Sixth Ave. to fight for the return OF
sac of which this job shark had
robbed a worker for a JOB that did
not exist.

SCHEME TO SPLIT
N. Y. UNEMPLOYED
Borders of Chicago
Moves to New Field

NEW YORK.-Karl Borders. the
Socialist leader Of the Chicago
Workers Committee on Unemploy-
ment has come to New York, and
Immediately the capitalist press
rushed to give him publicity. He
plans to start here a movement such
as he had in Chicago. He outlines
the program as:
Ito obtain adequate relief.
ITO provide the unemployed
with an active extravert opportunity
to do something.
$40 offer the unemployed edu-
cational opportunities.
Borders, in his newspaper publicity
here, unblushingly takes the full
credit for the splendid demonstra-
ton of $4,000 Chicago unemployed
a few weeks ago. which smashed the
so per cent relief cut proposed by
the authorities, and forced the Re-
construction Finance Corporation to
rush hundreds of thousands of dol
lars to Chicago to keep up the relief
payments.
Borders Sabotaged
This movement of the Chicago un-
employed was led by united front
committee, initiated by the Unem-
ployed Councils, and into which
Borders and his henchmen were
forced, much against their will, by
the response of the rank and file
OF the Workers Committee on IN
employment TO the call for united
militant action issued by the Unem-
ployed Councils.
Borders and his lieutenants. at ev-
cry meeting opposed. even to the
point OF threatening a split. all mo-
lions for militant action, all plans
for demonstrations at local relief
stations before the homes of CITY
councilmen. He was only defeated
by the response of the rank and file
delegates. including those from his
own organization, to the militant slo-
gans of the Unemployed Council.

Stockholders Of
Rio Grande Halt
Merger OF Firms

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18. U.P)-
Acquisition of the Rio Grande Oil
company by Consolidated Oil COM
pany, controlled by Harry F. Sim
clair, received setback today
with organization of a group of Rio
Grande stockholders to block the
merger on the ground the terms
offered were unfair.
The proposal of Consolidated was
submitted to stockholders three
weeks ago by Rio Grande directors
with a request for proxies author
izing acceptance. The offer was to
purchase the Rio Grande company
by exchanging two Consolidated
shares for five OF Rio Grande.
The new committee decided to
seek proxies in opposition to this
plan, at least until an independent
appraisal and accounting is secured.
No statement was made as to how
much stock is held to date by the
opposing group.
The proxy count is to take place
September IA. A meeting of all
stockholders has been called in FL
Paso, Tex, to consider the pur-
chase.
The opposition move Wss unex-
pected by Consolidated interests.
Several weeks ago Sinclair said he
expected to acquire the Rio Grande
as well as the Richfield Oil COM
pany of California, now in receiver
ship.
