BENJAMIN SHOWS
UP RELIEF BILLS
Demands 81, 200, 900, 900
Winter Aid in Capital

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. g.
The Senate Subcommittee Of the
Manufacturers Committee, which is
holding hearings on the fake relief
bill sponsored by LaFollette and Cos
tigan, heard this and other dema-
gogic measures denounced by Her
bert Benjamin, representing the IN
employed Councils OF the U. S.
Opening with sharp protest
against the failure of Congress to act
on the demands presented by the
National Hunger March during the
80 days that have elapsed, Benja-
min spoke for two hours on the hun
ger conditions that prevailed in all
parts of the United States. He at
tackled the abuse, deceit and terror
to which millions of jobless and
part-time workers had been sub
jected. Although he arrived at 2
pm. when he was scheduled to
speak, the representative of the I'M
employed was not given the floor
until two hours later. This was done
in an effort to tire out those who
attended. A large number of work
ers, especially veterans who are in
Washington in connection with dis
ability claims, came to the hearing,
however, when they learned that

LR.T CUT RESULT OF COMPANY BANKER PLOT


Railway Employees of America, or
with any other association of street
railway or other employees, with the
exception of the Brotherhood, and
the Voluntary Relief Department
of the Company while member
of the Brotherhood or i'm the en-
ploy of the company, and that q
violation of this agreement or the
interference with any member of
the Brotherhood in the discharge
of his duties or disturbing him in
any manner for the purpose of
breaking up or interfering with the
Brotherhood shall of itself con-
stitute cause for dismissal from the
employ of the Company"
Incidentally, in 1926, as further
proof of the relations of Tammany
judges to the case, an injunction was
granted the l. r. t. denying the
right of any other union than the
Brotherhood to organize the I. r. T.
employees. The Amalgamated officials
agreed not to try to call strike
unless the injunction was withdrawn.
The Brotherhood itself is made up
of 33 locals, which are more or less
based on crafts. Each has a presi-
dent and these 80 presidents form a
general committee. These officials
draw their wages from the company,
and have constitutional power to
make and enforce contracts up to
five years without consulting the
men. They have power to disfran-
chise any local or number Of locals,
and under the constitution are pro-
hibited from considering any COM
plant against the company by any
member of the union. The presi-
dents of the locals hold Office for
two years, and are called delegates
while attending the general commit
tee. Only the general committee can
change the constitution of the Broth
erhood, and not even then II the
company objects, for the constitu-
ton itself is made part Of contract
with the company.
BY it's form of constitution the
Brotherhood is not in any sense of
the word a labor union, but is a COM
pany union.
Officials Are Company Spies
In actual fact, the officials of the
brotherhood are all company spies,
reporting regularly to the company
any attractions of its orders that
may take place in their locals.
Fear the Workers
1t is an interesting fact that the
company is always little afraid of
the employees actually coming togeth-
er IN large numbers even in the meet
ings of this company union. Every
effort G made to discourage them
from attending. Robert w. Dunn, in
his book Company Unions cites a
case where one local meeting was
attended very well because a crap
game was run there. The company
made the officials stop the game,

the Cemetery

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 8.
Three thousand workers, in
GLIDING $50 whites, attended
the mass funeral yesterday of
Cliff James and Milo Bentley,
two of the leaders of the
Sharecroppers Union murdered
by the Tallapoosa County land
lords, their police and Negro reform
ist agents following the Battle of
Reeltown, Dec. 10, when $50 Negro
choppers and exploited farmers hero
ically defended themselves against
the armed attacks of landlord police
lynch gangs. y
Prevent jim Crow.
An additional thousand workers
crowded the sidewalks along the
route of the funeral procession, dem
onstrating their sympathy with the
struggles of the troopers and ex-
plotted farmers of Tallapoosa County,
Ala, against landlord robbery and
terror and national oppression. An
attempt by the authorities to separate
the white and Negro marchers was
successfully resisted.
Large forces of police were on the
streets in an attempt to intimidate
Negro and white workers from
marching in the funeral procession.
This attempt failing, the bodies of the
murdered cropper leaders were
rushed from the funeral home under
police escort and hurriedly placed in
the graves to prevent funeral ora
tions at the cemetery. Negro and
white speakers were then forcibIy
elected from the cemetery by the
police.
The I. L. D. is continuing the fight
for the release of the troopers still
held in jail. Mass pressure already
has forced the courts to release seven
of the defendants. Working class
and sympathetic organizations are
urged to rush resolutions and tele-
grams to Gov B. M. Miller, Mont
gonnery, Ala, demanding the imme-
date, unconditional release of all ar
rested troopers and exploited farm
ers, and Of the nine Scottsboro boys.

And what will the weiI-dressed man
be wearing Easter. Here's the answer
in the seventh article of a series de-
scribing spring fashions for the whole
family.
BY JULIA BLANCHARD
NEA Service Writer
NEW YORK, April 13.-Clothes
~ may or may not make the
man this Easter, but the right
suit, topcoat and hat will do a
lot to inspire confidence this
spring.
The better new suits are hand
somely tailored, with those we'll
fitted shoulders that set man
up. Double breasted suits are the
suits CT the moment, but there al
ways are men who feel better in
single-breasted ones, so these
absurd.
Cheviots, fine imported tweeds,
finely striped mems suitings, Glen
Urguhardt plaids and other wor-
steds go into these suits.
Gray is a good spring color this
year, so are the slightly lighter
navy blues Tans also are good,
with some of the novelty fabrics
having brown undertones.
With the single breasted suits,
trousers are apt to be the high,
English cut, pleated, to be worn
with suspenders. Double breasted
suits may have plain trousers,
wearable with either belts or sus-
penders.
One of the outstanding new
suits that will appear in numbers
about Easter time is double
breasted Glen Urquhardt plaid
suit, in gray tones. particularly

Manners and Morals
BY JANE JORDAN

Words decent? I do not smoke,
drink, or do very much petting. I
was raised up in a home where
there wasn't any cussing and
swearing and that is the reason
that the boys will not go around
with me.
Tell me, please, how T could
meet some boy who is decent or
give me his address. Tell Stupid
Bud and any others to give me
their opinion on what I have
asked. I would like to meet some
fellow who has some respect for a
decent, respectable girl.
MISS B. B.
AnsWer-Since I do not know the
people who write to me, can not
guarantee their decency. I have no
addresses. The boys of whom you
complain probably are not bad at
all, but fancy the post of mild wick
edness. For the present they re-
gard all girls as their natural prey
but when older, they'll howl as hard
as you do for decent, respectable
girl"
In the meantime, cultivate as
many friends as you can. 1t will
help you to find somebody.
Dear Jane JOrdan-I am a girl
of is going with boy %. I'm
very much in love with him. He
is sort of self-centered. I'm sure
he cares for me, but could you tell
me how to find out whether he
really loves me as much as he says
he does? He never has gone with
many girls and insists he never
loved any one but me.
However, his mother does not
approve very strongly of me. He
has asked me to go to his home
and meet his mother. Should 1 go.
knowing that she dislikes me?
Should girl as young as I give
up dancing because her boy friend
doesn't like to dance, and give up
all her girl friends and boy friends
just because he is so selfish and
Jealous? BEWILDERED c. M.
Answer-It sounds to me as If you
had drawn one of those 'Mama's
Boys" who are so hard to get along
with. Too much mother spoils the
boy as surely as too many cooks
spoil the broth. He wants you to
give him the exclusive attention
which he demanded from his moth
er when he was a babe in arms.
If you were older and wiser, you
would run for your life. If you cut
yourself off from all your other
friends to satisfy the infantile at
titude of your boy friend, you will
live to regret it.
