of bruised flesh and broken bones
because of a terrible, british beat
ing and mutilation with clubs.
There appeared evidence that the
limbs had been twisted. Both eyes
were blackened There was
also a bruise of an ugly and vi
cious nature on the left side of
the head and face Excessive
bleeding had taken place :"
What Barlow's body looked like
in the mortuary, overwhelmingly
invalidates the report Of the Grand
Jury. 1t is impossible that Bar
low received the sort of fractured
skull that permitted him to walk
around for "a hours and then to
present a body proving he had re-
ceived terrific clubbing while in
police custody. This points to the
third degree method" Police Cap
tain Dowell had reference to.
The international Labor Defense
protested the cynical police white
wash by the County Grand Jury in
the murder of this militant working
class leader.

TailOrs Condemn
Strike Agreement
OF A.C.W. Officials
Call Tailors to Join the
Fight for Real Gains

NEW YORK.-The Amalgamated
Clothing Workers officials settled
the strike of the custom tailors
which they called two weeks ago.
The settlement was engineered in
the usual manner, behind closed
doors and without taking a vote
by the strikers to determine their
satisfaction with the terms. The
strike settlement as announced is
supposed to provide 36-hour week
and 35 per cent increase in
wages. Since no minimum wage
is set, this will involve only a
slight increase for the majority
Of the workers.
Strong arm men threatened to
beat up a worker who protested
the settlement, demanding the es-
adjustment of week work, a 81
minimum wage, and then he de-
clared that the strike had been
called only in the interests of the
officials and the bosses. Only
$50 workers were involved in the
strike.
The overwhelming majority of
custom tailors now on strike un1er
the leadership of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union con-
demned the settlement announced
by the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers as an act of open strike
breaking and treachery to the in
terests of those who are out on
strike, in resolution adopted at
mass meeting at rving Plaza
Friday.
The strikers voted to continue the
strike for week work, minimum
wages and abolition of homework
and called upon the workers Of the
Amalgamate1 Clothing Workers not
to permit themselves to be used as
scabs to force down the living
standards of the workers, but rather
to join the strikers in the fight for
real improvements in their condi-
tons. The strikers declared their
determination to fight for the right
to belong to union of their own
choice.

|. Miller Strikers
Beaten in Jersey;
Held in $4,000 Bail

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 18.-Four
leaders of the I. Miller shoe strike,
which is now 100 per cent effective
with the last department, the cut
tiers, having struck this morning,
were assaulted and severely beaten
by gang of gun-thugs here yester-
day, with the result that John Ma
doxion, striker, and Patsy Gar
meni, foreman of the plant, are in
the hospital
Held on $4,000 bail, charged with
assault and intent to kill, are Alex
ander Ivanoff, Joseph Maglicano,
M d oxion and one other shoe
worker. Isserman of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense will defend
them in court.
The obvious frame-up character of
the charges is evident from the fact
that Ivanoff and the others were in
vited to discuss the situation with
the representatives of I. Miller. At
the meeting in the restaurant they
were set upon by a gang of cut-throats
with knives and bludgeons. 1t is OBJ
vious that this latest attack upon
the strike leaders is the elimination
of series of attempts to break the
strike Of 1000 workers,
The bosses are using every possible
maneuver to break the effectiveness
of the workers picket line. On Fri
day and again this morning pickets
were arrested. Also I. Miller has
proposed that they join the Boot and
Shoe Workers Association, which
would like to take the leadership out
Of the hands Of the rank and file
committee in order to behead it. The
men have contemptuously rejected
this proposal.

SWEEPING PLAN TO REVAMP

Dropping of Ag gencies Not Absolutely
Essential Contemplated Along With

Hewing its way with the economy ak
toward the goal of a balanced budget,
the Roosevelt administration Is pre-
pairing to announce soon details of q
sweeping departmental reorganization
program designed to bring governmental
economies to near the billion dollar
mark.
President Roosevelt is determined to
keep his campaign promises to slash
drastically the cost of running the Fed
eral Government. Despite developing
opposition to published reports of pro-
posed economies, he is understood to
have reiterated recently to members OF
his cabinet the urgent necessity for
further retrenchment
With Merger plans tagging because of
mounting pressure from inside and out
side the executive establishment, the
President is said to have made 1t plain
he wants concerted action toward a
thorough reorganization of departments

and bureaus-and that by reorganiza-
ton is meant not only consultations
and realignments but elimination OF all
services not absolutely essential to ef-
flcient conduct of the Government.
The President has blazed the way
more than half the distance toward the
billion dollar saving by executive or
ders reducing veterans payments by
$400 100000 and Federal salaries by

That leaves about $475. .000, 900 yet to
be cut from expenditures if the goal

arms of the Government some of the
Presidents advisers are said to feel,
and latest indications in reliable quar-
tiers are that the total economies dur
