NEW YORK-At a we'll attended
meeting of the Retail Dry Goods
Salesmen's Union on Thursday night
after a thorough discussion, the mem
bership unanimously decided to af-
filiate to the Trade Union Unity
Council.
The union, which has been in ex-
istence since 1905, decided also to
extend its activities and mapped a
program for drive to organize vari-
Gus retail stores in New York City
Support for this drive will be sought
from working class organizations
since the large majority Of those buy
ing goods in dry goods establishments
are working class customers
Two delegates were elected by the
Union to the Trade Union Unity
Council which together with the Of
flee Workers Union will help in the
work Of recognizing the Union on q
functioning basis.
The organization, which for years
was affiliated to the United Hebrew
Trades never received any guidance
from them. The workers are now
convinced that only through mill
tant policy will they be able to ex-
tend their influence over the work
erS within their trade.

JAIL BLUM AT
ORDER OF THE
LAUNDRY BOSS

NEW YORK -Leon Blum. General
Secretary of the Laundry Workers
Industrial Union, was railroaded to
years term in the penitentiary yes
terday after hearing before the
State Parole Commission, on the pre-
text that it would keep him out of
trouble 1t is well known that the
State Parole Commission is acting at
the behest Of the laundry bosses and
the racketeers who are tied up close
ly with politics, to prevent Blum
from organizing and leading the
struggles of the laundry workers for
decent living conditions. Blum's
frame-up comes as a result of re-
peated attempts by laundry racket
GERS and bosses to smash the union
through terror and intimidation.
Blum was sent to prison several
weeks ago by order of the State
Parole Commission which revoked his
parole in another case, on the basis
of false afidavits submitted by a
Scab. Blum had been previously
warned by the Parole Board that he
would be sent back to prison if he
did not give up his activities in the
Laundry Workers Union. Both the
City and State Parole Boards de-
clared that while they could not
hold him legally, they could hold him
morally" and pronounced the vicious
sentence of one year in state prison.
The Laundry Workers Industrial
Union issues an appeal to all work
ers organizations to protest this
frame up by sending wires to Gov
ernor Lehman demanding that he
give Blum hearing and grant him
an immediate, unconditional release.
Laundry workers are called to pro-
test this frame-up by participating
in the monster Union Square demon
stration on Saturday at p. m.
against racketeering and gangster-
ism.

hard and fast rules that are brought
here for acceptance and that no addi-
tional proposals or changes will be
accepted On the contrary, we desire
any additional proposals which will
help to strengthen both the commit
tee and the work generally.
eve propose to have on the Ad-
visory Committee representatives of
the following trade unions and organ
izationS:
1. The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union; 2. The Marine Work
ers Industrial Union; 8. The Unem-
ployed Councils; 4. A veteran who
should represent the veterans move
ment.
IS. We believe it would be advisable
to have a member on the Committee
selected from Harlem, because of the
special problem Of t-.c Negro workers.
And this is the most important Negro
center. Someone who will write on
the struggles in Harlem for the city
edition. The struggle against jim
crowism, against discrimination,
against Scottsboros which take place
right in the city of New York.
These, comrades, are proposals
that we make here for the formation
of such committee. There should
be additional proposals made here"

Bronx Unemployed Council sent a
letter to the bakers Of Local 507, A. F.

the struggles of the unemployed are
closely bound up with the battles Of

ployed must fight side by side with
the unemployed for relief, against
eYictions and for unemployment
insurance at the same time the un-
employed must join hands with the
employed in their fight against wage
cuts, long hours discrimination, for
the right to live"
The council called on all workers in
the Bronx to support the bakers in
their fight for better conditions and
urged unemployed and unorganized
bakers not to take jobs where workers

Highest ON Record

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
capitalist class collected more
interest payments during the
first four months Of this year
than in the same period last
year, when payments were the
highest on record, according to
figures issued by the United

The amount paid out as interest
so far this year was $1,125,7O7 900.
During the month of March
this year, interest payments
amounted to S290,S5I, 900, an in
crease of more than $4,000, 600

and by drawing on accumulated
SURPRISES piled up from the
enormous profits of the last de-
cade.

and through cutting the wages Of
those he employs.

of the workers by getting them to
subcontract and in this way to draw
them away from the union.

this strike which is being led by the
Alteration Painters Union. Painters
are asked by the union to come to
