Hartselle. The prosecutor will be
Wade Wright, the Negro and Jew
batting Ku Kluxer, whose appeal to
race and class prejudice in the Pat
terson re-trial was so open and in

Judge Horton was forced to make a
gesture of reprimand, though refus-
ing to declare a mistrial as demand
ed by the International Labor De-
Tense counsel.
The trial, scheduled to open Sep

'UphOlStererSDeCide
on Mass Picketing
Meeting Votes for Uni
ted Action With
Local 76
By del

NEW YORK.-At an enthusiast
tic mass meeting of striking up
holsterers under the auspices of the
Furniture Workers Industrial Union
held yesterday at Irving Plaza Hall !;
the strike situation was reviewed by
union leaders as well as workers
from the shops.
Nearly all speakers stressed the
essential effect of joint mass pick
etlng with local rs. Organizer M.
Pizer said that the loose negotia-
lions which are carried on between
the officials of local IS of the AFL
With the bosses tends to mislead
some workers into the belief that
the strike is about to be settled and
therefore permit scabbery in some
shops. This body, he said, must
constitute itself as a "body of
action"
Jack Stachel, of the Trade Union
Unity League deprecated the paper
agreements which the bosses sign.
What interests us is the improve
ment of the conditions of the work
ers and not the empty phrases of
the paper agreement" Stachel said.
a strong militant attitude of the
strikers is the only guarantee to
break the resistance of the bosses
TO- the workers demands"
Inc workers decided to go in a
body to local 76 in order to join
with them in one huge mass
plcketing demonstration.

Deportation of
Swedish Worker
Stopped by It'd
Maine Authorities Try
to Break Militancy
of Quarry Workers

ROCKLAND, Me, Sept. 1.-Severin
Carlson, Swedish worker, was freed
of the threat of deportation yester-
day through the efforts of the In
ternational Labor Defense.
Carlson was arrested July IL on
the word Of John H. Breen, local
bootlegger and stool-pigeon, who
himself has been arrested rs times
in the last ten years. Carlson was
held on charges Of advocating the
overthrow of the government"
Carlson was held on $1,000 bail to
hamper his defense and the hearing
for the case was heard at Z am. to
prevent his lawyer from being pres
ent. The immigration officials Sc
cured affidavits to show Carlson's
guilt" from officers on the English
boat Danoa, affidavits which they
later admitted were not true.
The LID engaged Attorney R. j
Milliken of Portland and conducted
a mass campaign among the workers
exposing the real reason for the i'm
migration officials wish to deport
Carlson by publishing their state
ment that they are expecting trouble
in the quarries' and that there is
a hotbed of Communists around
here"
The local branch of the LID points
out that this victory on the Carlson
case does not mean that the depor-
tation campaign will stop. Only BY

mood for struggle among the work
ers is very strong.
This morning Emil Rieve and the
hosiery manufacturers signed an
agreement which forces the workers
back to their jobs for % days more
on the basis of the old agreement
and hands over the wage issue to ar
bitration during this period. If the
A. F. of L. officials, the bosses and

operation" cannot arrive at compro-
mise the final decision will be left
to the National Labor Advisory Board
which will be final and binding on
all parties.
BY this action In which the work
ers were not consulted, the A. F. of
L. officials have again signed away
the right Of the workers to strike
and have betrayed their demands to
the government board which as in
the case of the coal miners strike
has only the interest of the owners
at heart and will not improve the
present conditions of the hosiery
workers.
Philadelphia hosiery workers were
fooled once before by the deceptive
promises of Rieve at the time of the
last wage cut of IS to 40 per cent.
They were told that the cut would
be restored later. It was never re-
stored. In fact another wage cut
for the benefit of the hosiery manu-
tacturers was proposed by the Of
tlcials which was decisively defeated
in the Philadelphia local by refer
endum vote.

Mrs. Burroughs
Hits Tammany's
New Wage Slash
.Denounces Cut in
Wages and Relief to
Pay Bankers

NEW YORK.-Williana ]. Bur-
roughS, Communist Party candidate
for Comptroller, denounced the de-
cision of the Tammany administra-
ton yesterday to use funds from the
city payrolls to satisfy the payment
of $8,746,oOO due yesterday to the
bankers.
Though the newspapers made a
great mystery Of the source from
which the city officials would get
the money, Mrs. Burroughs, who is
a former teacher ousted from the
school system by Tammany because
of her activities in behalf of the
workers, pointed out they admitted
that the city payrolls and relief
funds were the only available sources.
"The city treasury is bare because
of the immense graft, huge pension
salaries for the higher officials
waste and continual Borrowing of
immense sums from Wall Street at
high interest rates." said Mrs. Bur-
roughs.
"City employees who have already
had two wage-cuts," she continued,
"are now faced with the possibility
of deferred pay checks. 1t is almost
certainty that while the salaries
of the city officials will remain in
tact, those hardest hit will be the
school teachers. New York City is
taking the first step to follow the
lead of Chicago and Cleveland, in
stopping teachers salaries"
1.-THE sales tax, which Tammany
is Withholding until after the cleo
items, will bring an added wage-cut
to the city employees as we'll as all
other workers." she said.
only militant organization of all
city employees under their own rank
and file committees can force the
Tammany administration to stop
cutting wages to pay the bankers"
concluded Mrs. Burroughs.
Mrs. Burroughs will speak tonight
at an open air meeting at 47th St.
and Greenpoint Ave- in Long Island.
Tomorrow, Sunday, Burroughs, who
is herself Negro, will speak to the
Negro workers of Harlem at the Ur-
ban League Building, 200 West 136th
st. at 6 p. m. at meeting arranged
by the Harlem Liberator and the
LSNR on the election campaign and
what it means to the Negro masses.

The slight increase of nominal

The public printer had allowed the
entire force to be absent for two Sat-
urdays. April and April Q, since the
new law became effective, pending Nc
Carls decision. But the pay day due
yesterday brought the matter to head,
Carter explained, and 1t was found nee
essary to pay workers, subtracting not
only the is PEI cent cut ordered by the
new economy act, but also, for pur-
poses Of precaution, the pay for the
two Saturdays when the personnel did
not work.
