City Paid Graft to Big

Slogan: 'BuyAmerican'

NEW YORK. K.-Revelation that the
city authorities were making heavy
contributions to the American cement
manufacturers under the patriotic
slogan of Buy American" came out
in hearings before the Board of Esti-
mate yesterday.
On May 26 a resolution was adopted
providing that only contractors using
American cement could bid for city
work. At the hearings yesterday it
was decided to eliminate this clause.
in order to save some money for the
Tammany authorities
Samuel Untermyer. lawyer. who
brought out this gouging by cement
contractors, said that on one contract
the extra-cost for patriotic reasons
would amount to $4,000, but Inter
meyer. who is closely connected with
the city subway deals, did not reveal
the millions of graft that went into
subway construction.
The hullabaloo about high cement
prices for local products is made to
give the appearance that the city Off

AIM OF SLAVERY
ACT IS TO SUSTAIN
PROFIT SYSTEM
Lawyer forActAdmits
Capitalism Shaky

NEW YORK.-It is not the aim OF
the industrial recovery act to union
ize labor. but to save capitalism from
entering deeper crisis, declared DON
aid r. Richberg general counsel for
the advisory board of the National
Industrial Recovery Act in a speech
Thursday before the Merchants AS
sociation Luncheon.
Richberg, an attorney for the rail-
road. labor unions, was one OF the
leading collaborators with Roosevelt
in drawing up the slavery act.
Richberg's speech was warning
to the bosses that capitalism faces
complete collapse 'If this adventure
should fail' he said ''it will be the
failure of an industrial system. E.
It will mean. either that the system
is fundamentally unsound, or that
the present MANAGERS of private in
dustry are incapable of operating it
successfully"
He told the exploiters they should
waste no time in putting the slave
codes into effect.
Richberg was in favor of immedl-
ate adoption of the. slave code in the
cotton industry providing a sl2-sl3
weekly wage, saying: "If the cotton
textile code were approved as written,
it would mark great forward step
in this industry"
He told the bosses that the indus
trial recovery act was not government
control of industry as the bosses were
free to use their own methods of ex-
ploitation, but it modified the sup
port of the government behind the
bosses in this critical period.

ings were not held because the Off
cials fear that the workers will raise
demands, will take matters into their
own hands and organize real strike
The action Of the officials in max
ing the stoppage a sort of holiday is
causing many workers to suspect that
deal is being made behind closed
doors in which the officials will put
over some plan which will not bene-
fit any one but the manufacturers
and the officials. The 20 per cent
loan" wage cut effected by Hillman
in Rochester and Chicago is still
fresh in the memory of the clothing
workers.
While some workers may receive
rangements between the bosses and
the officials it will be taken from the
workers by the plan proposed by
Hillnan to obtain payment OF back
dues.
Back Dues TO Come from Increases
Hillman has proposed that workers
owing back dues since 1928 may re-
turn to the union with the payment
of $40. This will mean thousands of
dollars in the Golfers of the labor
racketeers. The increase given the
workers will be taken away to fill
the pockets Of the racketeering Of
ficials.
For a Real Strike
The rank and file committee Of
the union is calling upon the workers
to turn the strike into real struggle
for week work and for more wages.
At the strike halls today, the work
ers raised the slogan OF week work.
The italian workers who are blamed
by the officials for the existence OF
piece work were among the most out
spoken in demanding that the week
work system. be established. Leaflets
of the rank and file committee were
spread by many workers. and read
with great interest.
Rank and File Program
The rank and file committee in
their leaflet to the workers point out
that the small increase promised by
Hillman will not offset the raise in
prices which reduces the value Of the
dollar. 1t points out that Hillman
has supported the Industrial Recov-
cry Bill yet he has been responsible
for many wage cuts, for production
standards and other methods which
have been put over by the same fake
stoppages. The rank and file COM
mittee call on the workers to wage
a real struggle to abolish piece work,
to reduce the hours of work with a
Is per cent increase in wages, to
abolish the checkoff system, and
compulsory arbitration and to estab-
lish an unemployment insurance sys-
tenn paid by the bosses and given to
the tailors.
The rank and file committee at
126 University Place is preparing a
series of open air meetings and To-
runs to expose Hillman's role under
the Recovery Act and to rally the
workers around rank and file pro-
gram.
