the standards of the organized work
ers The union wage scale in mems
clothing is about $45 a week.
1t is already clear that with the
$40 minimum wage to be established
for the textile industry, all other codes
will be determined by this standard.
The employers are bent on making
present low levels of wages the per-
manent standard for the American
working class, making the minimum
wage actually the maximum wage.
Mcmahon For Textile Code
President Mcmahon of the United
Textile Workers declared today that
he considered the cotton textile code
represented "a pretty good job" BY
this utterance he climaxes the series
of betrayals of the textile workers
which has steadily driven down their
living and working conditions.
I.L.G. Heads For Roosevelt Slave
Scale
An unnamed official of the Inter
national Ladies Garment Workers is
reported as having declared in the
capitalist press today that a SIS min
imum wage for the garment industry
such as proposed by the clothing
manufacturers would be 400 per cent
better than today. Yet Dubinsky
face to face with the workers at a
mass meeting last night when ques-
toned about the proposed minimum
wage evaded the issue and is report
ed to have answered that the ladies
garment industry was independent Of
the mems clothing industry. He
would not dare face the indignation
of the workers with the proposal to
slash the union scale of wages and
set a SIS wage level The officials Of
the union knew that the sentiment
of the workers is to raise their wages
as the cost of living mounts.

ers organize and strike to defeat the
menace of the Recovery Law and the
treachery of the officialdom will this
new low level of wages be fastened
upon the workers be smashed. In
every shop the workers should at
once begin the election of their own
shop committees, to formulate their
demands for decent living wage
instead of the Roosevelt Starvation
Scale, and prepare for struggle for
better conditions. BY strengthening
the militant unions and the opposi-
ton groups of the A. F. Of l.. the
workers will carry through struggles
to force the bosses to grant higher
wages, improve their conditions and
to maintain the right to strike and
to join the unions of their own choos-
ing.

"The International Labor Defense
has received an appeal from the Elk
ecutive Committee of the Information
al Red Aid at Moscow, calling on all
American workers to join in carrying
on the great work of Clara zetkin in
the struggle against Fascisrn and
White Terror, against imperialist war,
for the defense Of the Soviet Union,
and for the international solidarity of
all the oppressed and exploited.
'The text of the appeal follows:

Workers, toilers in town and VIII
'lage.
Millions of toilers Of the whole
world stand with head bowed at the
grave Of Clara Zetkin.
"a full life of revolutionary strug-

sionate hatred against the capitalist
system of exploitation, full of I'M
limited love for the faithfulness to
the working class and all the OPP
pressed, has stopped beating.
"As Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the International Red
Aid, Clara had since 1914 constantly
led the struggle against terror, fas-
cism and bourgeois class justice. She
collaborated theoretically in the great
worldwide solidarity work of the
IRA. The resounding appeals and
manifestoes Of our old but always
young Clara inspired the hearts Of
millions Of members of the Red Aid
and gave them new impetus and
strength in their struggle.
"In the spirit of Clara, our presi-
dent, the Executive Committee of the
Ira. calls upon all its millions OF
members to close the ranks, fulfil
the legacy Of our great dead, inten-
sify the struggle against German Fas-
cism and the White Terror in all

White Terror.

by the strikers as follows:
1. Minimum wage for operators, rs

2. Minimum for pressers, IS cents

3. The 44-hour week.
4. Equal pay for equal work for

8. Recognition of shop committee

AS soon as the shops were organ
lied Sopkin promised the women a
10 per cent increase in wages. The
women laughed at that because it
meant an increase Of from but 20 to
40 cents per week. The bosses then
tried to split the workers on racial

and Negro and white workers are
fighting in solid ranks.

A hush fell over the square when

A military guard from the Red
Army lined the route from the Hall
of Columns to Red Square, adding
to the solemnity of the scene.
Resting the bier near Lenin's maui

THROAT"
FOUND SECRET
OF COUGH RELIEF

Your throat and bronchial tubes are
lined with millions OF pores like tiny
bottles continually supplying moisture
to the delicate tissues until you
"cdtch cold."
Then these ''bottles" get plugged up,
phlegm accumulates, affording danger
Gus germs breeding place. Your throat
feels hot and dry. Tickling, irritation
and coughing set in.
Your cough will be cured only when
the fiowof the natural fluid is increased,
loosening the phlegm SO that it can
be expelled. Many cough remedies"
contain numbing drugs which merely
deaden the nerves but don't get at
the root of the trouble.
PERTUssIN, a scientific remedy,
which doctors have prescribed for
many years, is the extract of a famous
herb which opens the tiny glands,
stimulates the flow of the throat's
ndtatral moisture and brings quick re-
lie1. 1t helps nature heal that
cough from the inside out.
When you feel that warning dryness
take a few spoons of PERTUSsIN. It's abb

For Hard Coughs or
Colds That WorryYou

Creomulsion is made to give supreme
help for coughs or colds that worry you.
1t combines seven helps in one-the best
helps known to science. It is for quick
relief, for safety.
But careful people, more and more,
use it for every cough that starts. No
one knows where a cough may lead. No
one can tell which factor will do most.
That depends on the type of cold.
Creomulsion costs little more than
lesser helps. But it means the utmost
help. And it costs you nothing if it fails
to bring the quick relief you seek. Your
druggist guaranteesit. Useit for safety's
sake.
