Eyes" said Lag, ''this used to be
the private mansion of a ship owner
before the revolution"
"And where does HE live now?"
Huh, he's either living like the
rest of the workers here, or else
he's pushing up daisies
The dance hadn't started yet. The
fellers went down into The restau-
rant, where a big stuffed bear
greeted them at the door. Slim
hunted around for the American
section. Upstairs, there were sepa-
rate sections for Scandinavian sea-
men, for German, French, Colonial,
Italian, for seamen of al nations.
Finally, alongside the reading room,
he found the Anglo-American sec
ton.
Pm a member of the M.WI.U.,"
he introduced himself.
Welcome, comrade. How's things
in the States?" !.
Awful, and getting worse all the
time. Increasing unemployment,
wage-cuts, speed-up starvation,
evictions. Hear about how they shot
down the veterans in cold blood, at
night, in Washington? Car Nicho-
las had nothing on Hooverw
The Leningrad delegate nodded.
And how's the union getting
along?"
Pretty fair. l suppose you heard
about the strike we won for the
200 Stockton riyermen. They came
out 100 per cent solid, and under
our leadership the wage-cut was
taken back. We also won other de-
mands. But generally speaking, it's
tough shedding building up sea-
mans union in the States. The
country's 50 damn big, it takes a
lot of money to send organizers
around to tn different ports. And
now with over $4,000 seamen out
of jobs and lots of our members un-
able to pay dues, it's hell. The dele
gates live on coffee, and's' if and
when they get that"
THE delegate nodded understands
ingly. He had been through the
mill too. ''How do the men on the
e. Utah" feel towards the union?"
We'll, the oldtimers have had
their fingers burnt by the yellow
A. F. of L. and Wobbly unions. and
some OF them have lost confidence
in all unions for the time being.
They agree with our principles, but
are not convinced that we are
strong enough, or have the ability.
to win better working conditions
for them"
Eyes, that's what we have to
prove"
Slim nodded in agreement.
What would you fellows like to
see here? We can arrange excur-
sions to factories, or a Soviet ship,
or workers rest homes, or parks of
culture"
Slim promised to ask the men and
let him know. On the way down, he
looked into the reading room. News

library. Also a mail desk, where

Today we surrender the floor TO
Seymour Stern, editor of Expert
mental Cinema. Comrade Stern,
at present in New York, has been
working in Hollywood for several
years, where he has gained renown
as stormy petrol through his con-
sistent unmasking of the artistic
bankruptcy of the bourgeois film
and his relentless champiOning of
the revolutionary Soviet movie.

Bomb Becomes

Cunningham

A bombing scare arose today
in the office of Frank E. Gun
ningham, clerk of District
Supreme Court, when a pack
age was received addressed to
Mr.. Cunningham. One of his
assistants thought it gave off a
suspicious metallic ticking when
shaken.
The package was carried to
Lieut.. John Fowler, Police De-
partment explosives expert.
Fowler immersed it in water,
kept it there several minutes
and opened it.
The box contained a gift, a
silver cigarette case. No name
accompanied it, but it was be-
lieved a naturalized citizen, one
of a group who took an oath
before Cunningham recently,

MERGER DATES
CAUSE M|XUP

Discrepancies in the dates for
merging of Government bureaus,
some of which are to become ef-
fective August 10 and others De-
cember 81, are causing no little
disturbance in the Department of
Justice.
It was revealed today that the
big job of issuing liquor permits,
which was to have been trans
ferred to the merged Department
of Internal Revenue, will con-
tinue to be a function of the Pro
hibition Bureau.
The Prohibition Bureau will be-
come a unit in the Bureau OF
Investigation. Department of JUS
tice, Thursday and at that time
was to cede the function of is
Suance of permits to the Internal
Revenue division, which was to
merge with the Bureau of In
dustrial Alcohol.
BY a recent executive order,
however, the Internal Revenue
merger will not become effective
until the end of the year.
According to John S. Hurley,
who will head the new prohibi-
tion unit, the function will con-
tinue in it's present status for an
indefinite period.

FURLOUGH HITS
ARCHITECTS

Approximately dozen archi-
tects and engineers in the office
of the supervising architect.

placed on indefinite furlough
August IS and numerous others
will follow, it was learned at the
Treasury Department today.
This is the second blow that has
fallen on the technical men in
that office within the past week,
the first being notice of a four-day
furlough for all employees effective
August Is.
It was stated that many build
ingS now under construction are
completed, architects and engi-
neers will be Of no further use to
the department and will therefore
be indefinitely furloughed.

COURT RECORD

A new record was set in Police
Court today when a total of $50
persons were arraigned on various
minor charges.
This number did not include
the many arrested over the week
end and released on collateral.
Judge Isaac R. Hit, who today
exchanged places with Judge
Ralph Given in the District
branch of the court, raised the
fines for drunks to $40. Judge
Given's usual fine for first Of

CODE NOT YET
ABANDONED
Labor Federation Officials
Expect Conference As Soon
As Green Has Time

Although calling of the joint
conference for formulation Of a
code of hours and working con-
ditions for Government workers
has been somewhat delayed, the
conference will nevertheless be
called, it was emphatically as
serted today by officials of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees.
The delay, it was explained,
has been due to the presence Of
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, at
hearings on the steel industry
code. Green promised some time
ago to sponsor the joint confer
ence as soon as the pressure OF
these hearings was relieved.
Support Is Important
Backing of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor in the venture is
important not only to the Ameri-
can Federation of Government
Employees, which is affiliated with
that organization, but to numer-
GUS other unions in the labor
movement of which Government
workers are members, including
the metal trades department. and
other organizations.
Meanwhile, an appeal is being
made to President Roosevelt on
behalf of navy yard workers
throughout the country, who are
protesting a five-day week that
means four hours less work and
eight hours less pay.
Labor officials felt that their
case had been strengthened by
President Roosevelt'S statement
to the effect that the Government
would revise contracts where
strict enforcement under NRA
provisions would mean hardship
to contractors.
Deserve Revision, Belief
The theory is that contractors
who entered into agreements
with the Government in good
faith, to supply certain goods,
deserve a revision of their agree
ments in view of the added ex-
pense to which they may be put
by the institution of NRA codes.
If such revision applies to en-
ployers, the labor men contend,
it also should apply to navy
yard employees, and they should
not be expected to accept less
compensation from the Govern
ment than they have received
heretofore.

Lynched

There was a lynching in
Washington yesterday, but the
homicide squad hasn't been
called in on the case, and there
is grave doubt if police will
make any attempt to trap the
lyncherS.
For the victim was probably
the most unpopular individual
in the nation, Old Man Eight

CARRIED in stove pipe hat and
long tailed coat, an effigy Of
the dry law was hanged by the
neck at the base of the Gar
field statue at First Street and
Maryland Avenue Southwest,
while placards assailing the dry
law decorated the gallows.
A large crowd was amused
by the lynching until park po-
lice removed the body.

No DC. Cash Being Handled
At Institution

A report on the shortage Of
funds discovered at Lorton Re-
formatory will be submitted to
the District Commissioners today
by Major Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict Auditor.
The report is the outgrowth of

books by George A. Kidwell, Of
the Auditors office, and Paul L.
Kirby. assistant director OF Pub
lie Welfare. It will be accom-
panied, when submitted to the
Commissioners. by recommended
tions from Donovan and George
S. Wilson, director of Public
Welfare.
Shortage Is Small
Donovan refused to reveal the
amount of the shortage but Will
son said he expected it to be less
than $1,000. Kirby likewise re-
fused to state the amount but
declared reports that the missing
funds might total as much as
$4,000 or $4,000 were consider
ably exaggerated"
Both Donovan and Wilson said
the shortage was in the welfare
fund" at the prison, which is
made up of gifts to the athletic
fund and other contributions and
profits from the prison canteen.
