TOiIers in Brownsville
Demonstrate for Relief
for Is Needy Families

/ NEW YORK-Tn support Of del
| egation of 100 from the Brownsville
Unemployed Council in which there
; were % registered needy families, 8
/ having disposSess notices, 500 workers
gathered at the Home Relief Buro, at
Public School $50, Christopher st. and
Belmont Ave to demand relief. One
Negro woman in the delegation had
been forced to use her furniture for
firewood to keep from freezing.
When a committee of IL demanded
to see the supervisor, Miss Wallace,
her receiving clerk called the police
and barricaded the entrance with
desks The workers protested and de-
manded that the supervisor see the
committee. Miss Wallace was finally
prevailed upon to admit a committee
of Two who demanded relief for the
% families. Her answer was that she
would look them up" but the work
ers acquainted with such tactics de-
manded immediate action.
Just then, Sam Gordon. an unem-
ploved teacher in need of relief, was
beaten and arrested by the arriving
police, who drove the delegation out
of the school. Despite the presence
of mounted police, a squad Of foot
police and also a patrol wogan,
an open air meeting was held to
demand the release of the arrested
worker. One member Of the delesa-
ton managed to evade the police
guard and see Miss Wallace to de-
mand that she withdraw the charge
She also threatened him with arrest
because of his "insolence."
The workers refused to accept this
action and proceeded to an indoor
meeting at the Workers Center, 1918
Pitkin Ave. where they decided to
go in a body to the court and de-
mand the release Of Sam Gordon.
Upon arriving there they learned that
Gordon was already sentenced to
three days in Jail The hearing and
trial was rushed through in Is min
utes to avoid the presence of the
workers.
Another mass meeting will be held
| tonight at pm. in the Brownsville
Youth Center, los Thatford Ave. of
all members of the Unemployed
Council and sympathizers. Steps will
be taken to continue the fight for re-
lief against starvation, cold and evic-
lions. The meeting will also rally
Brownsville workers to support the

Win Model Upholstery
Strike: Boss Has to
Pay Fine for Lockout

NEW YORK. A militant strike
against a lockout of the Model Up
holstering Shop, 1O45 Third Avenue,
resulted in a settlement Wednes-
day with the workers, under the
leadership of the Furniture Workers
Industrial Union, winning all de-
mands and compelling the boss to
pay a fine of $25 to the union for
breaking the agreement.
A one-day strike forced the bosses
of the SchifT Shop to reinstate two
workers that were fired two days
ago. The shop committee was re-
cognized and the complete crew of
Is workers joined the Industrial
Union.
The F.WIU. calls upon all up
holsterers in the open shops to follow
the example of the wo. kers in the
KosS Bros. Shop that won their strike
last week, and the two above shops
and organize their shops against
wage cuts and lay offs. The union

TWO DAYS HEAT RELIEF
PREDICTED FOR DISTRICT
Mercury Probably to Be Held in
SOs, With Humidity Remain
ing Fairly High.

Washington need not worry about
the heat-for a couple of days, at least.
The Weather Bureau said this morning
the mercury would probably be kept
down In the 80s by a northeasterly
breeze, although the humidity remains
high.
Yesterdays Temperatures, while lower
than the real hot days which preceded
them, were accompanied by high hui
Nudity, and shower which brought
about .20-inch of rain between 4 and
O'Clock did little to lower the mer-
curry.
The bureau said that practically all
States east Of the Mississippi today
were enjoying relief from the heat, and
that showers were falling, or about to
fall, in many spots where the heat Of
the past weeks has baked the ground
and burned crops. Southern Virginia,
where dry weather and heat have COM
bined to affect crops, was promised
rains today or tomorrow.

claim was fled against the estate of
the late Edward F. Swift, packer, in
Probate Court today by Sam Howard

probate last week.

ENDORSEMENT NEEDED
IF RECOVERY WORKERS KEEP JOBS
Work of Public Works Section Delayed Because Employees
Don't Have Proper Patronage Credentials.

Civil service employees who have OBJ
tanned temporary jobs with the National
Recovery Administration were informed
today by personnel officials they could
keep their jobs providing they obtain
proper ''itical Endorsement.
The ,,ers, all slated for separation
from til government service after hay
ing been employed for years in the Com
merce, Interior and other departments,
recently obtained temporary positions
with the Recovery Administration.
Many reported they were not able to
obtain the Endorsements because OF the
lack of political influence, and they are
now fearing, they said, they would again
be forced to search for work.
The order also affects all non-civil
service status employees now at work
either in the Industrial Control or
Public Works sections Of the admins
tration.
Recently, SO civil service clerks, tenn
porarily at work in the Public Works
section were dismissed. officials ex-
planned the separations were only tenn
porary to allow time for them to study
the employees qualifications. A small

only about per cent OF the clerks
now employed by the administration
have civil service status. Approximately
1000 civil service workers in Washing
ton are losing their places in the Gov

ting into effect the economy program.
Although both the industrial control
and public works sections have been
functioning for about 30 days, neither
has completed its personnel set-up.
Much administrative work has been re-
ported delayed because Of the lack of
help. Personnel officers explained to-
day they have been slowed down In the
selection of workers because Of the
political Endorsement requirements.
They further declared they were at
tempting to handle the job situation
on State quota basis similar to the
system now used by the Civil Service

MATTERN REQUESTS
PLANE FOR FLIGHT
Texan Wires Backers Ex-
pressing Desire to Continue
Solo Hop Around World.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A plan to enable Jimmie Mattern to
continue his flight around the world
despite the misfortune that apparently
wrecked his plane beyond repair in ST.
beria-was taking form today.
From Anadyr, Siberia, Mattern wire
lessed his Chicago hackers asking that
q plane be sent SO he could fly back
to New York solo.
The hackers said they would "do
everything" in their power to comply
Mattern's message, received last night,
asked that a rescue expedition plane
now in Alaska, be sent.
The Soviet government announced
that powerful seaplane would leave
Khabarovsk, Siberia, momentarily for
Anadyr.- and that it was ready to fly
from there to Nome, Alaska, to return
Mattern to American territory.
Plans to Fly Solo.
Mattern,s own plan was to fly solo
from Anadyr to Nome in the American
rescue expedition plane, and for the
members of the expedition, which Is
headed by william Alexander, to return
to Nome in the Russian plane.
His latest message, sent to H. B.
Jameson, one OF his hackers In Chicago,
said:
journal, New York, wires they will
send Nome airplane to Anadyr to fly
me to Nome. Contact them and ar
range for it to come Immediately for
me to fly solo to Nome. Pilot to return
to Nome in Russian airplane coming
to my aid"
Jameson relayed the message to the
New York Journal, hackers of Alex
ander, who Is now at Juneau, Alaska,
with two other members of the expedi-
ton. They expect to take off today to
fly to Anadyr by way of Fairbanks and
Nome and comply with Mattern's re-
quest.
Alexander and his companions few
several days ago from New York to
Terrace, British Columbia, where they
were forced down. Because the plane
carries heavy equipment, they expected
to use lighter one for the flight to
Siberia.
