Call Strike in Laundry
When ALL. Official
Approves Discharges

NEW York; strike WAS called
at the New Shore Road Laundry, 62i6
18th Ave, Brooklyn, when three
workers were fired by the boss with
the consent of A. Rosenzweig, busi-
ness agent of the A. F. of L. Local
$40 Of the Laundry Drivers, Chauf-
feurs and Helpers Union.
The agreeemnt to fire the workers
was made with the union official
after the boss complained that the
workers did not bring in enough
business.
The union forced the workers back
to work after promising that min
imum wage would be provided and
no further discharges permitted. The
case of the three discharged workers
is being considered by the union, but
no steps as yet have been taken to
reinstate them. The shop was for
merry under Industrial Union control
and the boss did not succeed in max
ing any such arrangements for firing
workers with its leaders.

against the fascist lynch orgies.
Mooney, Scottsboro, Angelo Hern-
don, are proof that official America
is not opposed to fascist violence.
The fourty-four lynchings Of Me-
groes, the aftermath of Princess
Anne, show that it Is not opposed
to lynchings. More and more will
1t resort to these means in an at
tempt to prevent unity Of the OPP
pressed white and Negro masses and
their organization for strIlggle-for
the liberation of the Negro people
and the emancipation Of all the
toilers.
How hypocritical is the position
Of those who rave against Hitler's
fascist lynchingS and dodge the
question Of their American c0un-
terpart! Those who refuse 10
fight against Iynching are aiding
the rise OF fascism In the United
States.
The alarm must be sounded which
will rouse the broad masses Of the
people to instant action. Against
this monstrous menace the entire
might Of the imperilled people
must be organized and arrayed. All
forces must be united-the Negro
people, the workers and poor farm
ers, the decent middle class elements
and honest intelle:tuals-to stop the
savage onslaught of fascist, ruling
class lynch violence.
The time has come for decisive
action. To work out a program for
this necessary united action, an
Emergency Conference Is hereby
called for Sunday, December 3, Q
p. m, at the International Workers
Order Hall, AIS Lenox Avenue, New
York City. All organizations are
urged to send delegates and to Join
in the fight to stop the rising, fas-
cist lynch fury.

Restaurant Owners
Ask Wage Reduction
at NRA Code Hearing
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By a Worker Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 80. -- The
VIGOROUSLY low minimum wages of
% cents per hour under the proposed
Restaurant Code of the N. r. A.
now under hearing in Washington
are being bitterly opposed by the
Restaurant Owners Association as
being too high.
At the hearing, Mr.. Miller of the
Restaurant Owners Association of
Indiana, said: eve employ a great
number Of students for their board
only, and to pay anything near the
wages demanded would be a terrible
hardship on US. We will have to ask
exemptions.
Administrator Whiteside, presid-
ing, after making the usual plea for
the widow and only son said, 81 am
not in favor of doing away with
child labor. l am opposed to a wage
so high that the industry would
commit suicide"
Apparently he too favors the In
diana idea of no wage at all.

Census Being Taken
for 81 Head Tax in
State of Michigan

IRONWCOD, Mich.--At the pre-
cent time a census Is being taken
Of all the population Of Michigan
over 81 years of age--to find out
how many are eligable to pay the
Head Tax" This tax which has
been passed by the State Of Michi-
gan, demands the payment of $200
a year by every one over 81 years
of age. This money Is supposed
to form a fund for the payment
of old age pensions.
A maze OF restrictions make only
a comparatively few workers over 10
eligible to this old age pension paid
for by unemployed and starving
workers Only Unemployment and
Social Insurance at the expense of
the bosses and the government can
adequately provide for an old age

bill, as presented to the House after
being written in conference, has yet
to be approved by the Senate. As
Stunning it will be approved, the Pres
ident is expected to sign at once, and
within few days the whole program
of control and revival of all indus
try, together with the plans for re-
employment through public works of
large variety, will be launched.
1t is a striking illustration, though,
of one of the glaring weaknesses OF
our legislative machinery. Time and
again in recent years there have been
instances of such practices; commit
tee work in House and Senate, debate
and amendment in both Houses, pains
takingly done, have all gone prac-
tically for naught. Recommendation
brought back to their respective
houses by the conference committees
are considered under very limited de-
bate, without opportunity to take
them up piecemeal, and they gener-
ally go through.
In the case of this bill, the result
is that loose and poorly-framed tax
law will stand at least until the next
session in January. At that time it
is reasonably certain that Congress
| will have for one of its first major
tasks the complete overhauling of the
revenue act, both as to kinds of taxes,
rates, and administrative provisions.
Revolt against the administration
| over the heartless application of the
| economy act to veterans and their de-
pendents was suddenly stemmed in
the House when the President was
able to convince majority of the
special committee selected to go over
the matter with him that his con-
ference deserved their support, even
though it did not satisfy them. So,
by submitting to another gag rule Of
the strictest sort, the House gave
away it's right to vote on the liberal
izing Senate amendments, and ap-
proved the Presidents compromise
after a brief but ugly fight
1t did grant some concessions.
true enough. 1t processes to place
the burden of proof upon the gov
eminent instead of upon the veteran
before service connection can be sew
cred. 1t promises the veteran the
benefit of reasonable doubt in evil
dence, something which he certainly
has not had during these last weeks
when these claims have been re-
viewed with such disastrous results.
But once again Congress has been
guilty of a broad grant of indefinite,
permissive authority to the President
and his administrative advisors and
assistants. Now Congress will stand
off to the side. powerless, and hoping
that for the second time it has not
been deceived into the vain belief that
the law will be operated justly and
fairly, without working hardships on
deserving men, women and children.
In the meantime, an awesOme and
terrifying record is being compiled
for which the budget-balancing ia
natics will some day have to answer.
