was nothing to be heard. Petrowski
appeared in his soiled white jacket.
When he saw Anna, q friendly grin
appeared on his pock-marked face.
Good afternoon, Mrs, thinner

down over the counter towards the
little boy.
well, little man - what will you
haYe?"
Petrowski spoke German excellent
ly, though his hard gutturals be-
trsyed him as foreigner.
"A penny wafer" Anna said sharp
ly, taking no notice of his disagree
able friendlineSS. She was annoyed
with herself for having come. After
all, what could she find out? Per-
haps the man was relative Of the
iceman on a Sunday afternoon visit.
Waste OF money! The boy might
even catch cold in his inside from
eating the wafer in damp weather.
Petrowski handed the wafer to the
boy with an exaggerated politeness.
Anna paid quickly and took Fritz
into the street, sucking at his wafer,

NEEDLE TRADES INDUSTRIAL
UNION PROPOSES UNITY

The following is the statement
(in part) of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union defega-
ton:
The General Executive Board of
the International Ladies Garment
Workers meeting at the Hotel Dun
can in New Haven rejected the de-
nland of the delegation of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
which included Ben Gold, Louis Hy-
man and Joseph Boruchowitz to pre-
sent proposals for joint action in the
struggle for improving the conditions
of the workers in the garment indus
try. The G.E.B. refused to hear the
delegation.
1.-THE recent strikes Of the cloak
makers and dresSmakers failed to
bring about any improvements for
the workers. Following every strike
the conditions grew worse, still. These
strikes as well as the daily exper-
fences have proven that the policy

policy pursued by your GEB.-has
served to wipe out every vestige OF

vision in the ranks Of the workers
The ladies garment workers have paid
a bloody price for the disunity in
their ranks.

stubborn fight against every attack
of the bosses on the workers condi-
tons We have recognized at all
times the imperative necessity OF
uniting the workers in struggle
against their common enemy, and
our union has made repeated efforts
towards this direction.
Our union has also time and
again proposed to the leaders of the

effort to bring about united resist

proposed to your local executives and

rejected.
In spite Of these refusals, how
ever, fully conscious OF the vita
necessity for united struggle in face
OF the vicious attacks on the work

you to join with US in an effort to

MEET SUNDAY TO
DEMAND U.S.S.R.
RECOGNITION

The Patriotic Order of Women of
Philadelphia issued the slogan, war
Against Recognition of the Soviet
Union. This is a new addition to
the ranks Of the enemies against the
Soviet Union, who set themselves the
task to fight against recognition by
the United States, which imposes a
greater duty upon workers and all
friends of the Soviet Union to rally
behind the recognition campaign and
try to counteract the vicious anti
Soviet activity now disseminated in
such a thoroughly organized manner
by all the enemies of the working
class.
The mass meeting for recognition
arranged by the Friends of the Sow
let Union, for Sunday, April 10th, at
2 P. M, at Webster Hall, 119 E. 18th
Street, should rally many thousands
Of workers and other friends of the
Soviet Union TO demonstrate the great
number Of friends who demand that
the United States recognize the Sow
let government.
Some OF the speakers at this mass
meeting are Prof. H. w. L. Dana
Malcolm Cowley, associate editor OF
THE New Republic" and James w
Ford, head Of the Workers Ex-Serv-
icemen'S League. Others will be an
nounced later.
All workers, working class organi-
cations and all friends of the Soviet
Union are urged by the F. s. U. to
make 1t their business not only to
attend this mass meeting, but also to
mobilize everybody they come in con-
tact with, bring them to this meeting
and turn it into tremendous demon
Stration for the recognition of the
Soviet Union.

Victory Won on Coal Code
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times SpeciaI Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt emerged VIGOROUSLY
today from the final battle over in
dustrial codes, as he whipped the
bituminous coal industry into line
after weeks of negotiations that
came perilously near an upset sew
eral times.
General johnson today will hand
the operators the code that he has
drafted, which was agreed to
Wednesday night at a three-hour
White House conference. The NRA
administrator is giving the operators
until p. m. Friday to file objec-
tions, an ultimatum backed by
President Roosevelt. Then the code
will become effective.
There is going on here perhaps
the most momentous capital-labor
arbitration experiment in the coun-
try's history. Under the very shadow
of the White House, coal operators
and labor leaders are writing wage
agreements for the whole industry
with the United Mine Workers. now
securely established by the domi-
mating John L. Lewis, recognized as
the organization with which the in
dustry must deal.
The contracts for the various dis
tricts are being drafted on the basis
of general principles to be enun-
ciated today by Johnson. These
have formed the storm center of the
negotiations, which so often have
been broken off and resumed again,
and which finally were concluded
Wednesday night by President
Roosevelt's intercession, following
General Johnson's long wearing
down" process.

NATIONS BANKS
DRAW UP CODE
Minor Changes Are Made
in Wages, Hours of
Temporary Pact.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. THE banks
of the nation, as represented by the
American Bankers Association,
adopted a "code of fair competi-
ton" today.
The permanent code made some
exceptions to and minor changes in
minimum wages and maximum
hours as provided in the temporary
code under which the banks have
been operating.
The association was told today
that the administration is deter
mined to carry out the provisions
of the Glass -Steagall banking act
providing for insurance of deposits
on Jan. l, despite opposition.
Bank insurance is part of the
federal law" j. F. T. O'Connor, con-
troller of the currency, declared in
aan address at the convention.
Wednesday the convention adopted
a resolution pleading that means be
found to postpone the insurance
provisions and contending that I'M
der it thousands of banks unable to
qualify would be forced to close.
O'Connor made a spirited defense
of the insurance provision.
The banks themselves will save
many millions of dollars" he said,
through the elimination of inter
est on demand deposits.
rs there any depositor who would
not accept one-half of per cent
less interest and know his deposit
was insured, if such step were
necessary to save the insurance
provision?" O'Connor asked.

BIG BAY, Mich, Sept. Henry

the NRA as far as possible, but
hesitates to sign the automobile
code for fear that it may "injure

Ford's attitude toward NRA was
presented unoficially today by tel-
low members of the exclusive Huron
Mountain club, where the automo-
bile manufacturer is vacationing.
They represented him as being in
sympathy with the recovery pro-
gram as a generality, but said he OBJ
iected to certain technical features.
He was quoted by these sources as
saying he had promised Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. Johnson that
he would work as far as possible
with the recovery program.
Ford boarded his private tug
Wednesday and together with Fred
J. johnson, manager of his upper
peninsula properties, sailed to Pc
quaming, Mich, where he inspected
the Ford lumber mills. Later he
sailed back to the Huron Mountain
Club here.
He has given no indication as to
when he plans to return, but those
familiar with his habits said he had
not definitely fixed a date for the
trip back to Detroit.
