New York, June 29--For some
time now there has been talk along
Broadway Of doing something for
FRITZ Scheff. In theatrical clubs
ana managers ofiices and radio
speakeasies, wherever old-tiners
meet, the conversation usually gets
around to her.
Dear old FRITZ Scheff is broke,
I hear. -. Yes; fnortgaged her
home up in Waterbury. Conn.,, and

for her; one that would save her
home, anyway. Eyes, some.
thing certainly ought to be DONE"
But somehow, nothing has been
done. And maybe this ID partly be-
cause, on seeing the FRITZ Scheff
of 1888, it's so difficult to realize
that she was making musical COM

fits. And she still sings, by unani-
nous demand, the song that has
been hers for all time: kiss Me
Again."
She still speaks with an accent
that is relic Of her girlhood in
Vienna, where she was discovered
by Maurice Grau when he was
scouting the continent for talent.
She still displays flashes of the
temperament that won her the

The conference will elect-a delega-
ton to go to Washington to protest
against the continued attacks by the
MIRA. against the workers rights to
strike, to picket, and to join union
of their own choice.
Emil Nygard, Communist Mayor of
Crosby, Minnesota, will be one of the
speakers to address the needle shops
conference.
In the needle and dress trades
where the workers have gained I'M
provementS in their working condi-
tons as a result of their militant
struggle, backed up by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union, the
standards won are seriously threat
ened by the recent refusal of the
jobbers to comply with points on the
agreement. Compelled to grant these
concessions during the strikes, the
dress and cloak bosses are soon to
initiate a wage slashing campaign
to smash the standards won by the
workers. In this they will be aided
by the MIRA. and the ILG.W. Of
ficials. The latter are taking no
steps at present to mobilize the work.
erS for struggle against the bosses
and are indifferent to conditions pre-
vailing in the shops.
In the white goods, ladies' tailors
and other trades where strikes have
been waged, the IL.G.W. officials
have concluded agreements without
any gains for the workers.
The abolition of the sweatshop, y
a burning demand in these strikes
has not been achieved, but instead
sweatshops threaten to increase. In
the dress and cloak trades bosses are
already sending work out OF town
to non-union shops.
The issues of maintaining the STAN
dards won through struggle and OF
mobilizing to defeat any drive to cut
wages and lengthen hours will be
among the most important to be TAX
en- up In the conference.
That needle workers will be facec
with greater unemployment in the
coming fifth winter of crisis, is indi.
Gated by the great "overproduction'
in the trade. Preparations for the
fight for relief for the thousands oil
needle workers who will be iobless
this winter will be an important ques-
ton at the conference.
Shops which have not yet elected
delegates are urged to be represented
at this broad united front meeting
to prepare for the struggle against
the employers, and their allies, the
MIRA. and the I.L.G.W. officials.

Shoe Delegation
Challenges ALL.
At N.R.A, Meeting
Boot and Shoe Off
Gals Are Silent on
Referendum

NEW YORK.-A challenge to take
a referendum of the workers in both
the Boot and Shoe Union and the In
dustrial Union to determine which
union the shoe workers choose to join
was flung at Grover Whalen, local
MIRA. administrator, and the repre-
Sentatives of the Shoe Board of Trade
and the Boot and Shoe officialdom at
a conference Wednesday by a delega-
ton of As shop chairmen of shoe
shops on strike, headed by Fred
Biedenkapp./ general secretary of the
Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial
Union.
Representing the Shoe Board of
Trade was the notorious attorney, S.
Markowitz, who has obtained many
injunctions against the workers, and
A. Carlin of the Boot and Shoe GEN
eral office. Carlin had stated at the
conference that he could speak for
the shoe workers in the present strike
since his organization represented the
shoe workers. He was silent, however,
when Biedenkapp made the chal-
lenge, fearing to take it up.
Grover Whalen was forced to admit
that the employers were denying
the workers the right to organize. He
was compelled to agree to send a tele-
gram to the National Labor Advisory
Board that the employers had refused
to meet committees of striking shoe
workers to settle the strike.
Hearings on the shoe strike are
scheduled to take place before the
National Labor Advisory Board today
