for No Foreclosures

NEW YORK. - Five hundred, a
majority of them small property
owners, meeting in the AStor booed
a speech by Joseph P. Day, largest
real estate auctioneer, and called for
moratorium on foreclosures on
property, demanding that Governor
Lehman call a special session to take
immediate action on this matter
The meeting decided in favor of
mo further tax exemption be grant
ed to real estate in New York City
for any purpose whatsoever" Out of
$22,500, 000,0 900 assessed property va
lue, $4,625 ,544, 604 is tax exempt. This
amounts to about 20 per cent. Most
of these properties, such as the Y
MICA, Salvation Army, Columbia
University. knights of Columbus,
hospitals and other institutions who
own these properties have consider
able profits as result.
A resolution was adopted calling
for reduction of 80 per cent in sal

Many big real estate owners were
unable to stem the movement among
the small property owners.

O'BRIEN TO RUN
AGAINFOR MAYOR
FAVORSSALES

NEW YORK, June 30.-After pay
ing a visit to the Tammany Boss
Curry, Mayor O'Brien announced
that he will be the Democratic can
didate for Mayor in the November
Mayoralty elections.
A letter which the Mayor sent to
the Wall Street bankers on the scent
fare has never been made public.
Reports that it contains a pledge to
raise the fare to or 8 cents after
the elections have never been denied
by the Mayor or any Tammany off,
cial The Mayor has consistently
refused to comment on this report.
OBrien has promised the bankers
that he will raise $30,000,000 before
December IL. This is the day on
which the next payments to the
bankers fall due, and it is safely
after the election campaigns will be
over.
O'Brien has publicly expressed his
wholehearted approval of some form
of sales tax, saying, Il think it is
the fairest tax" This foreshadows
that the city government is contem-
plating the imposition of such tax.
The subject of wage cuts for the
City's Civil Service employees is also
receiving constant consideration
among leading city and Tammany
officials.

DRAFT INDUSTRY
CODES WITHOUT
HEARING TOILERS

Employers groups are drafting
codes for adoption by the government
covering wages, hours and working
conditions without consultation with
the workers in the industry, exposing
the ballyhoo of the Roosevelt admin
istration which emphasized particu-
larry that the codes would be pre-
pared on the basis of united action
of labor and industry"
The tobacco industry is reported as
having virtually completed a code.
The code will cover conditions in the
cigar and cigarette factories, the
chewing tobacco and pipe manufac-
turing, and smokers supplies indus
tries. The code for the oil industry
is reported as ready. Carpet manu-
facturers are preparing to submit
code. A code covering woodworking
and cabinetmaking is being drafted,
and one has been drawn up for the
lime industry.
Retail Grocers Slash Union Scale
The Retail Grocers' Association has
drawn up a code providing a mini
mum wage scale of SIG week for
men in the North and SIS week in
the South; for women the wages are
cut to 81 in big cities and SO and $40
in smaller cities. Managers will re-
ceive $50 a week The minimum wage
for grocery clerks is practically so
per cent lower than the union scale
h1ic,al h.y fhn
Workers Industrial Union for its
grocery clerk section and it is chal-
lenge to the workers to organize to
prevent the establishment of this
starvation scale. Hours Of work are
set at 10 a day for men and day
for women.
Hosiery manufacturers are also re-
ported to have drafted a code.
What the Workers Must Do
The workers in these industries
must Immediately take steps to make
their demands heard regarding the
conditions to be imposed upon them.
They must Immediately arrange shop
and department meetings, sdiscuss
their wages, hours and working con-
ditions and organize committees to
draw up demands for higher wages,
shorter hours and better conditions
on the JOB. Committees OF workers
should be elected from each factory
involved to go to Washington with
these demands. But the administra-
ton of the Slavery Act cannot be re-
1iad ~, RI cain thnec conditions Tho
workers must themselves mobilize
their forces and prepare to strike to
win these demands.

The depot is being renovated to
employ 10000 workers. An army BAR

been warned by their case workers
at the relief station that next month
they will receive only So day and
later 81 a day, and that the relief
stations will be closed putting every

CUT IN RELIEF
TO AFFECT ONE
MILLION In n. Y.
Issuance of Food Tick
cts Already
Stopped

NEW WORKOUTS in relief and
removing thousands of families from
relief lists was discussed by the
Emergency Work and Relief Admin
istration at its meeting on Thursday.
The decision to cut relief affects a
million men, women and children
which is the approximate figure on
the relief lists at present. And thou
sands of families who are waiting to
get relief for the first timel
The Daily Worker received reports
from workers in many parts of the
city that their relief was already
stopped. 1t is stated that due to a
mistake of 100000 in relief disburse-
ments which must be corrected, Home
Relief Bureaus have temporarily dis
continued giving out food checks.
Next, Wednesday the relief budget
will be discussed by the Board of
Estimate. The relief budget undoubt-
edly will not exceed $2,500,000. The
minimum needed for relief is $0,000,-
O00 At the meeting of the Board of
Estimate on June 6, Commissioner
Taylor asked fer $5,0n0000 9s the
months needs. This will now be cut
to a third vi the minimum needed.
O'Brien's Figures
Mayor O'Brien states that besides
the city's appropriations, the state
may allot an additional $4,000,000.
At the meeting of the Board of Esti-
mate on June 6, where the United
Front Committee Against Relief Cuts
and Evictions appeared, the mayor
admitted that the state appropriates
40 per cent additional to the munich
pal appropriation.
When taking its budget, however,
it takes into consideration the states
40 per cent and adds it to its funds.
This means that the $2,500,000 of the
city obviously includes the sum ex-
pected from the state.
Mayor O'Brien a few weeks age
indicated that Home Relief Bureaus
will be shut down and relief will be
placed in the hands of private char
tiles. This at a time when the Glib
son Committee admits it's bankrupt
cy and will close down its Offices in
September.
Workers Ordinance
The demands raised in the Work
ers' Ordinance to be presented to
the Board of Aldermen is now the
only resort for the million and half
New York workers who are depend
ent on unemployment relief. The
ordinance containing IL demands has
as it's first point that "a minimum
base rate of $40 weekly cash relief
for every unemployed couple and 81
for each single unemployed worker,
plus So for each deperdent. shall he
provided by the city" To raise funds
for this purpose it proposes 10
per cent levy on all fortunes taxa
ton on tax exempt properties OF
Rockefeller, Morgan and other mil
lionaires, as well as a number of
other measures.

would benefit the working man.
Last week a committee was elected
by the workers of the local to inveS-
tigate Highlandtown and Canton ter
ritory to determine where public
works could start.
The most outstanding feature of
the committees proposals was the
recommendation that Hog Alley"
which is really Dean Street in High
landtown, be paved, and the buildings
be made fit for human beings to live
in.
The other proposals for street paw
ing, sidewalk paving, changing of lots
into parks and swimming pools, the
erection of comfort station in High

building that was formerly a YWCA
to be used as a recreation center for
the young workers, the minimum
