NEEDLE UNION
SUBMITS CODE
FOR FURRIERS

NEW YORK.-The Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union yesterday
submitted its code for the fur workers
to the Recovery Administrator Earl
Dean Howard after it had been dis
cussed and adopted by the members
of the union The code includes the
demands of the fur workers for wages,
hours and working conditions. Point
ing out that the Needle Trades Union
represents 1000 workers in the four
departments of the fur industry and
speaks for 85 per cent of the workers
in the industry, the Union declares
that the coda has been formulated
in consideration of the highly sea-
sonal nature of the fur industry
which allows not more than IS weeks
OF work a year and of the fact that
in the height of the season about 40
per cent of the workers are unern-
ployed.
Wages 10 Go Up With Prices
The Union, in its contractual rela-
tions with about 95 per cent of the fur
establishments in the industry has in
cluded in its agreement the condition
that wages shall 60 up with the rising
cost of living.
Not ONLY is the present fur workers
income as low as S700 a year but, the
Union points out, this income is spent
to considerable extent on the health
needs of the workers as a result of
the effect OF their dangerous working
conditions.
The code therefore calls for no
more than hour day and 5 day
week in busy season and no more
than a 80 hour week in slack periods.
According to the code the fur in
dustry is to pay fixed weekly minimum
wages now included in the collective
agreements of $50 for cutters, SAL 80
for operators, 1880 for nailers, $3.50
for finishers. $40 for floor boys and
shipping clerks. In seasonal months
these wages shall be increased 20 per
cent in line with the customary prac-
tice. The minimum wage scales shall
be regularly adjusted as the cost of
living rises
For the Unemployed
The fur manufacturers are to as
sumo responsibility for payment OF an
unemployment insurance fund of 2
per cent of the total payroll, an in
crease of l per cent over the present
fund.
The practice of contracting and
subcontracting shall be abolished
Only two employers of the firm
shall be permitted to work as crafts
men at the same number of hours
applying to the workers. Work shall
be divided equally among all workers.
All other provisions of the agreement
shall remain operative. The code de-
mands that the workers have the
right to belong to the union Of their
own choice and be represented by
their duly elected and authorized of
ficers. A demand for the immediate
elimination of gangster and racket
eering practices in the industry is in
cluded
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union demands the right to pre-
sent the arguments for this code at
the hearings on the employers code.

without a prospect that aid is
forthcoming.
The announcement that the
State Emergency Relief Ad-
ministrstion can supply 100000 in
cash in one hour to the city. re-
ceiyed the prompt reply from Dep
uty Controller Frank j. Pnal that
the money from the state is already
spent even before it arrives. It is
clear from this that city officials are
determined not to take steps to give
immediate relief.
Yesterday the Board of Estimate
held ANOTHER special meeting and
voted to ask Governor Lehman to
call q special session of the Legisls-
ture to enact emergency laws to
meet the present conditions. The
emergency laws desired by the Of
ficials is an additional per cent
sales tax. Such tax will yield the
state $60,ooo,0oo, which will come
mainly from food and other workers
needs
At the board meeting yesterday
Norman Thomas, leader of the So
cialist Party, and Paul Blanshard

munist Party asked again for the
right to speak, but was refused.

Other times he was addicted to
dope, according to testimony of Ev-
ans Hughes, former private secre-
tary to the banker. Hughes said
his former chief wore "a peculiar
expression, sort of glassy-eyed and
moved as though he were in
trance" He began to notice this in
1881 at about the time money be-
gan to disappear from deposits into
Harriman's pocket, which resulted
in closing of his bank-the Harri-
man National last March.
All those who testified TO try to
prove Hartman insane refrained
from making any comment upon his
actions and never questioned his
ability TO head the bank. 1t is

new wage cut proposed by the Pres
ident of the Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers in Philadelphia. In con-
nection with the activity of the A.
FL. and the attempt of the bosses
to force the workers into company
unions it was stressed that the T.U.
U.L. unions are not taking advant-
age of the tremendous desire of the
workers to organize. Where this
was done as among the miners of
Utah some 800 miners joined the
National Miners Union.
Independent unions spring up
first because the workers wish to or
ganize and are already clear on the
role of the A.F.L. leaders, and sec
ondly because we are isolated from
these workers. Often these inde-
pendent unions are led by honest
workers but do not know how to
carry on their work. The union
suffers from being isolated from the
rest of the labor movement. Such
examples we see in Jamestown,
where some 500 workers formed an
Independent union in the Art Metal,
also among auto workers in Cleve-
land, etc. But more often as was
the case among the Illinois miners,
and the New England shoe workers

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 13.-
The Governor of Alaska today gave
permission for Soviet plane to land
in tlas,:s with Jimmie Mattern,
round the world aviator who was
forced down in Siberia.
Because the American government
does not recognize the existence Of
the Soviet Union, the process of ne
gotiations with the U. s. S. r. are
needlessly complicated. In this case
the Department of the Interior noti-
fled acting Secretary of State Phil
lips that the Soviet plane would bs

QUICK SLAVE

Morgan Electric Head
to Pass on New Code

WASHINGTON, July 13. =
Roosevelt is moving to quicker
and more drastic action under
the industrial recovery act.
Not satisfied with the slow
pace in slave code-making,
Roosevelt yesterday declared
he would issue blanket order
for all industries. This would
fasten low wage level on the entire
working population without even the
pretense at hearings.
The proposed blanket code idea.
previously announced by Gen. John
son, would set q minimum wage of
sl400 week for all "unskilled"
workers and a maximum week of 40
hours The present average weekly
wage rate, as reported by the Depart
ment Of Commerce in all factories,
where most of the workers are un-
skilled, is S16.71 The minimum blan-
ket wage, because of the great num-
Der of exceptions it makes who would
get less than the S1400, would ac-
tually act as wage cut bringing
down the average from s16.71 to
around S1400.
Have so or 20 Codes
General johnson, administrator of
the act, said he has on hand around
60 or 10 codes, and that dozens more
are in the making. But they are most
codes in smaller Or secondary indus
tries, while the big five (steel, coal,
auto, oil, building) which employ the
great majority of the workers in the
United States have not turned over
their codes
AS it would take months to hold
hearings on these codes in order to
keep up the pretense Of considering
the workers views the plan of the
Roosevelt administration is first to
rush through the blanket code to do

STRONG DEFENSE PLANNED BY FOLEY
 FOR HARDING GO
Stellar High School Game on Saturday at Rec-
 reatiOn Field
(speciaI to Tlle Democratl


 Naugatuck, Oct. 25-Nangatuck high school will play a defensive game against Harding high most of the time, Coach Peter J. Foley said today in discussing the contest scheduled for Recreation field Sat- urday and which may have an im- portant influence on the ultimate state championship issue.
 The Harding team has one of the best attacks in the state, Coach Foley said and for that reason he thinks his team will have to play its best game Saturday. However, despite the fact that he holds Har- ding highly. he is not gloomy over the result. He believes Central high was underrated locally and is glad to have won. Central high has the strongest line have seen in years," he asserted.
 Take It Easy
 He will not put his team through any intensive drill for the contest. He said although none of the team was seriously hurt, most of them received severe bruises and he wants them to fully recover from the effects of the Central game.
 He believes Harding will be the best team Naugatuck has yet met, but, although he did not make any predictions, his mannir indicated he wasn't losing any sleep over the contest.
 Many fans are inclined to doubt the idea that Naugatuck will play defensively most of the game. They remember last year when Harding was rated highly but could not solve Naugy's bewildering passing game and lost by a one-sided score.
