didate received a refereeship from
Republican Judge James G. Cropsey
at the Brooklyn Supreme Court on
January 3, 1880.
Five months later, in May, Tam
many Judge John B. johnson ap-
pointed a referee in similar case,
a foreclosure action, in the same
court. Again the man appointed was
Charles H. Solomon.
These two appointments to referee
ships should be of peculiar interest
to the workers of New York. One of
the most effective methods by which
the Democratic and Republican par
ties build up and maintain their ma
chimes is to reward their hangers
on, ward-heelers, supporters and al
Les, by giving them appointments as
referees, receivers, trustees, etc. The
appointments spell fat fees for very
little work. The fees are usually
shared with the judge who makes
the appointment or go as "contribu-
lions" to the party treasury, as was
revealed in the recent Seabury in
designations. The corrupt practice is
SO Shiny that it has even gained the
condemnation of the lawyers asso-
Citations whose own ethical standards
are not any too high.

publican Judge Cropsey, on Janu-

Spanish Bakers
Strike Win Demands
in Eight Baker Shops

NEW YORK. = Eight of the
largest shops baking Spanish bread
were organized last week as re-
suit of a strike in which nearly all
the demands of the workers were
won. The Spanish and Italian
bakers who struck followed the
leadership of the Spanish-American
Bakers Industrial Union affiliated
to the Food Workers Industrial
Union. Working hours prevailing
at the time of the strike in these
bakeries ranged from so to 81 and
pay was as low as SIP.
Soon after the strike was called
the bosses agreed to settle granting
wage increases from 81 to $40 for
the bakers; 48 hour week; rec
ignition of the union and time and
half for overtime. The drivers
who joined the strike received
raises amounting to 81 a week.
The victory was due to careful
preparation prior to the strike. The
union is planning to spread its
organization to other shops.

S. P. Candid a tie for

Refereeships
BY DAN DAVIS

"The City Government is in the
hands Of a corrupt and incompe-
tent political machine. The legis-
lative investigation forced by So

hiit the charges made by the So

corruption. Public officials were
shown to be faithless to their trust,

the above reply something as follows:

Painters Begin
General Strike

NEW YORK.-A general strike of
all alteration painters, paperhangers
and decorators is called for this
morning by the Alteration Painters
Paperhangers' and Decorators Union
to demand higher wages.
It was voted unanimously at mass
meeting Friday night in Irving Pliza
Hall.
Here it was brought out that the
improvements which the union gained
for the workers, after many strug-
giles, were nullified by the constant
rise in the cost of living. The fol-
lowing demands were approved unani-
mously:
An 8-hour day, $165 an hour, rec
ignition of the union and shop COM
nittees, all hiring to be done
through the union, and the estab-
lishment of an unemployment fund
by 2 per cent levy on the employ
er's payroll.
The mass meeting elected a dele
cation to visit the Brotherhood of
Painters of Brooklyn to persuade it
to join in the general strike.
When the delegation arrived, Jake
the Bum the organizer of the
Brotherhood, refused to admit them
to the meeting. The mass meeting
condemned this action of the labor
faker.
An organization and strike commit
tee of $50 workers was elected.
Thirty Negro workers of a Har-
lem shop, now admitted into the
union, had already been on a spon-
taneous strike, reported to the union
and asked to be organized. They
had worked for white boss at So a
day.
The Alteration Painters, Paper
hangers and Decorators Union calls
upon all workers to down tools this
morning regardless of their union af-
filiations.
Workers are asked to stop promptly
at 10 o'clock and march to the strike
halls.
The Brownsville workers will
gather at 1440 East New York Ave.
AT Coney Island and Brighton Beach
they will gather at 129 Brighton
Beach Ave Flatbush workers will
assemble at 629 Rogers Ave. The
Williamsburg strike hall is at 691
Broadway. The lower Manhattan
workers will march to 90 East 10th
ST.; 1872 Boston Road is the meet
ing place for the Bronx workers.
On Wednesday evening at 8 pm.
there will be general mass meeting
of all the painters at Manhattan

NEW YORK.-The Daily Worker
Volunteers, organized but recently

The affair was huge success.

PEAKING of the girl who thought that
car with good pickup meant
roadster with handsome male driver,
how has all this stuff about the gold
standard affected your family? Up to
- our house it has become the popular
alibi for everything our family does, on account
the gold standard and whether we are on 1t or
off it for life is one Of them things that are
every bit as clear as the Einstein theory: Every
body talks about it but nobody knows what
they are talking about.
For sample, Pa come home from the dem
tist the other day with his gold tooth missing,
and when I asked him why, he claimed he
was off the gold standard and, besides. the
darned thing hurt him so bad he'd decided 10
have it out and mailed to President Roosevelt
afore he was pinched for boarding 1 tried to
point out to Pa where We was already pinched
for money and that one gold tooth more or
less wouldn't worry the President
However, Pa is nothing if not patriotic, espe-
cially when patriotism gives him chance to
do something he wants. like celebrating election
day or staying down in Kelleys pool room all
night campaigning. But II going OIL the gold
standard means getting rid of perfectly good
gold tooth and putting an expensive porcelain
one in its place. I can't see where It's conner
make our family any richer.
Last night Sister Anne, who has been blond
for years, come home with red hair, and all
the reason I could get out of her was that 1t
was the latest thing to 60 OIL the golC Stanoaro
Though where she got that standard idea
is more than can say on account that bleach
of hers never took the same shade twice in
10 years.

the other day with engagement ring for
Sister Anne I'll be darned if the ring wasn't
one of them arty affairs made out of pounded
silver! And when she put up kick he merely
pointed out that was off the gold standard.
1 noticed he didn't mention anything about be-
ing afraid somebody'd think he boarding.
That guy is so generous he'd take you out to
dinner any time you'd pay the check Also,
he's a type that would think down to silver
instead of up to platinum in a crisis like this.

what can you do with an intelligent child like
that?
