and said they would not 60 back to

q petition to be presented to Mayor
OBrien, the Board Of Estimate and
Commissioner of welfare, Frank Tay-
lor.
The demands to the city officials
are:
Immediate cancellation of wage cuts
and reduction in working days; a
minimum of II days work a month
at IS day; full compensation in
case of accidents; and no staggering
of working days and shifts.
AS soon as the city announced its
"retrenehment" drive Of cutting the
pay of the jobleSs workers the prices
of city bonds on Wall Street rose a
quarter of a point to one and a quar-
ter points. Brokers reported an in
creased number of buyers than at
any time in previous weeks.
The capitalist press limited that the
assembly which is controlled by the
republicans will not back Mayor
OBrien's and Governor Lehman'S
program for an increased sales tax
But after numerous conferences OF
speaker Joseph A. Mechanics with
republican leaders it is generally ac-
cepted that the republican machine
will give full support to a two per
cent sales tax Governor Lehman
called the special session of Legisla-
ture for next Wednesday.
Mayor O'Brien stated yesterday
that 81 cities are in the same posi-
ton as New York concerning the
relief situation. Among them are
such important cities as Rochester
Schenectady and Albany, the state
capital.
The Greater New York Unemployed
Council announced that many up
state cities have already indicated
that they will send delegations to
Albany when the special session be-
gins. The demands Of the mass
workers delegations include an in
crease in relief and the adoption Of a
state unemployment insurance pend
ing its adoption by the federal gov
eminent.

Wage-cut to Employees
Follows Charity Gift
BY the Plaza Hotel
(By a Worker Correspondent

by 4 Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK.-Here are two Incl
dents which will be of interest to
your readers and should get wide
publicity so that the people who
still have faith in the system will
transfer their allegiance to the
united masses.
Shortly before the O'Brien elec-
tions, all the employees in the Ho-
tel New Yorker we're given q slip
OF paper on which we're written or
ders to appear at an appointed
place on a certain day and hour
ali. bring two friends with them
Failure to do this meant loss OF their
jobs. When they got to the place,
they found a crowd of people all
whooping 1t up ;or O'B@ien.
Number Two: Sometime ago the
Gibson Charity gang got big
check from the Plaza Hotel There
was great salvo in the press about
the big generous act Of the Plaza.
The next day all the employees Of
the hotel got wage cut to make
up for the generosity" One old
man there used to get $14. Now he
gets $3.50.

in getting $50 weekly subs, and the
units are ordering the paper regu-
larly.
Two months ago the weekly order
used to be from 480 to 485 copies.
Now our total rovers between $50
and LOTS weekly We had two Red
Sundays recently during which we
sold 1900 to l,7o0 copies of the
Daily, and on May 1, $500 copies
we're sold. We also had great sue
cess with the Scottsboro edition of
April 20.
Make Special Efforts.
1t must be said that the comrades
in this section understand the i'm
portance of increasing the Influence
among the masses. 1t is up to
members of all sections and units
to make special efforts, through can
wasting each house, each apartment
in their territories, to convince
workers of the Importance OF read
ing the Daily regularly.
I want to report here some good
methods used by certain comrades
in the different units of Section Is.
Visits Apartments.
Comrade Weiss, of unit 80, made
it her business to become acquain-
- With tI'e workers in her neigh
borhood For two or three weeks
size went around to one apartment
after another. talkirc to workers on
the local situation. She succeeded in
enlisting several jobless workers for
the Unemployed Council. Through
this, these workers received relief.
She also formed personal friendships
with these workers, and since then
Comrade Weiss has secured six week
ly subs. Her unit as whole sells
30 Daily Workers every week.
Organizes Janitors.
Comrade Badate, of unit 1, is
janitor. For ten days he spoke to
all the janitors in his neighborhood,
explained to them the necessity Of
organizing their own union. and
brought number of them to meet
ings Of the Trade Union Unity League
and to local demonstrations. Com
rade Badate has succeeded in this
way in getting eight weekly subs, and
his unit sells between IS and rs pa
pers every week.
Sales at Meetings.
Comrades Kaplan and Cohen Of
unit make contacts in the parks
and at open air meetings every Sat-
urday and Sunday Wherever they
see a group Of workers congregated
they make it their business to be
on hand with the Daily Worker, as
well as language papers, the Liber-
ator, and one or two-cent pamph-
lets. Through this method they have
obtained Is weekly subs. These two
comrades alone sell from 30 to 40
'Daily's' every week.
Many excuses are often made by
Party members who for various rea-
sons underestimate the possibilities Of
spreading the Daily Worker. We
cannot go into them here, but we
can state that our experience In our
section proves that no excuse Is val
Id, that the Daily CAN be sold
wherever and whenever It is pushed
sufficiently.

NEWS BRIEFS
Alabama. Arkansas, Wet.

BY vote of three to two Alabama
and Arkansas voters on Tuesday reg
istered their approval of the aboli-
ton Of the Eighteenth (Prohibition)
amendment to the constitution OF the
United States. This represents the
heaviest blow yet given the prohibi-
ton forces, as both these states were
included by them in the list Of 10
that they claimed would refuse to vote
against prohibition. The vote of these
two states represents half the num-
Der necessary to affect repeal. Not,
one state thus far has voted to re-
tain the prohibition amendment.

DUCKS, QUAIL AND PH[AsANTS. WILL BE
 PRoPOGATED LOCALLY

Combining artistic landscape embellishments with a purely utili- tarian idea, Dr. A. D. Haverstock has workmen engaged in creating an ar tcfiiillaahetiohavtTAOINN an artificial lake adjoining his beautiful rustic cottage smuggling away amidst the towering spruce, near Woodrow.
 The lake will be the habitat of flock of ducks which Dr. Haver- stock will introduce as soon as the lake is completed. When complet- ed, the addition to the rustic home will make of it the prettiest re- treat in this portion of Alaska.
 Quail and pheasant eggs will also be imported and, if propoga- tion is successful, the birds will be released in the ajacent wilderness.
 In addition to the artistic fur nishings of the bungalow Dr. and Mrs. Haverstock have recently turned to historic relics. Among the most prized is the wooden pro- pellor of Pilot Russell Merrill, the aviator who flew into oblivion several years ago; another high ly prized possession is an ancient Russian gun, dating from the early 18th century, a rare curiosity and a reminder of the. crudities of breech-loading firearms of the day.
 Workmen are also carrying the Japanese landscape idea turnout the spacious grounds surrounding the bungalow by cutting out un- slightly brush and creating a park, which retains all of it's rustic beauty while giving access to all portions.
