.A.F.L. BricklayerS
Elect New Officials
Severino Runs on Rank
and File Program

NEW YORK-A. F. of l.. bricklay-
ers will elect new city officials today
in one of the most important cleo
tions ever held by the membership.
Candidates for the city executive are
the present chairman, Thomas Muir
ray, a discredited tool of the Inter
national Union Executive Board,
Thomas Cleland, who was defeated
last year after having failed to make
good his many promises and Angelo
Severio, president of Local 81, Who
Is supported by large section of the
rank and file in the unions in the city
and is known to be militant fighter
for the workers interests.
Severino is running on rank and
file program Of establishing equal dis
tribution of work to eliminate favor
itism and kick-back of wages, democ-
racy and freedom of expression in the
unions and elimination of the waiver
system. The program includes also
the consolidation Of all New York
Bricklayers' locals to eliminate un-
necessary expense and enable the I'M
ion to function efficiently, the fight
for the 6-hour day and improvement
of working conditions.
Sentiment for the rank and file
program is high and the general
sentiment of the workers is to trans
form the reactionary unions into a
tool of the workers for lettering their
conditions.

80 .Y.DelegateS Go
To Shoe Convention

NEW YORK. - Thirty delegates
have been elected from the Shoe

Union to attend the amalgamation
convention, which opens in Boston
on Sunday. The convention is to
take up the question of merging
four unions of shoe workers into
one big union under rank and file
control.
he Shoe and Leather Workers
Industrial Union, in a statement to-
day branded as falsehoods the re-
ports in the fascist italian press
and the Jewish Socialist Forward
announcing that the strike at the
Meyer Brothers and Breslau shops
has been settled. The reports
state that the workers have re-
ceived IS per cent increase as a
result Of the efforts of the A. F. Of
L. Boot and Shoe Union.
The Industrial Union declared
that these statements are merely
another attempt to break the strike
which are still on in these shops
and to aid the bosses to bolster up
the A. F. of L. union.
The union reports the following
shops still on strike: Meyer Broth
erS, Breslau, Cornell, Dan Potter, I.

Carefully analysing the fascist

demagogic promises of prosperity
to all sections of the population,
Hathaway compared these trends
and demagogic promises to the
similar methods used by the Ger

of the German masses. He clearly
showed that the victory Of the Ger

the misery of the German toilers
but had likewise sharpened the bour-
geoiS crisis. The fight for the Scots

the toiling masses and win uncon-

The victory of the workers, he
said, is dependent on the effective
ness of the work of the Communist
Party, the revolutionary unions and
mass organizations at the present
time. Activities in the first place
in the shops and factories, and also
in the neighborhoods, among the
Negro masses and among the farm

Plan Fight to End
ZauSner Control at
Painters Meeting
Tax Collections Fall to
$1,000 as Members
Stop Payments

NEW YORK.-More than 1000
painters are expected to attend the
joint membership meeting called by
Painters Locals 499 and 84s to de-
mand the resignation of the Zausner
machine in control OF the District
Council.
Zausner has been responsible for
putting over a daily tax of so cents
on the membership which, although
said to be for organization purposes,
has been used to build up his ma
chine control.
The revolt of the rank and file
against the tax and the members
refusal to continue payment has re-
suited in decline in the weekly tax
receipts from $4,000 to $1,000, it was
learned today. This is a victory for
the rank and file.
Louis Weinstock and Bruno Wag-
ner, newly elected delegates from
Local 499 to the District Council were
not seated at the meeting last Thurs
day night. Fearing the results of the
membership meeting today, zausner
failed to put in an appearance. The
meeting was hastily adjourned after
the reading of a few brief reports.
Harry Rosen, strong arm man of the
ZauSner clique again threatened
Weinstocl, leader of the rank and
file forces, with violence, in an eff
fort to keep him out of the meeting.
Among the important developments
in the Painters revolt against the
tax was the granting of an order in
the Bronx Supreme Court yesterday
for officials to appear at a hearing
at which a decision will be made as
to whether they could be restrained
from collecting the tax. The restrain
ing order has been applied for by Lo-
Gals 348 and 400. A demonstration by
the A. F. of L. painters in the court
room occurred when Null, attorney
for the zausner clique, falsely de-
clared that 20 per cent Of the fund
had gone to the unemployed.
So great was this pressure that
Judge Gothic was compelled to admit
that the time had come when min
critics in the union should express"
themselves. This movement, however,
will soon embrace a majority of the
workers.
The meeting today will be addressed
by Roger Baldwin, of the Civil Lib
critics Union, and Harry Sacher, labor
attorney. The rank and file are de-
termined to hold their meeting, re-
gardless of the rumors and threats
Of the zausner clique to break it up.
The meeting is called at the Central
Opera House at 1 pm. today,

ing challenge that constitution or
no constitution will always fight in
the interests of the workers"
Cooper'S answer came after he had
been asked by the prosecution to de-
Tend himself against charges of hav-
ing violated the constitution, by call
ing shop strikes.
k Cooper in his testimony exposed the
attitude of the International officials
i. in eliminating the left wing admin
iStration from deliberations of the
General Executive Board. He quoted
the case of the code conferences
which were attended by other general
managers, but to which he was not
called in. When he asked Nagler
about the conferences Nagler denied
any knowledge of the conferences. He
went to Washington on his own ac-
a.. cord after learning that the confer
ellees were being held.

large sums to the Joint Board for
~. assessments. Ashbttz is general
SECRETARY treasurer of the Joint
BOARD.

that most OF the signers of the

3 former business men. Osofsky and
Meltz, signers, had been found guilty
by previous administrations of TAX
ing-graft.
Full responsibility for the forrna-
~ ton OF the Committee of 100 which
afais considered by the officials as an
act Of 'disloyalty" was placed at the
doors Of the International officials by
IN. Kaplan who declared that they
had done nothing to uphold condi-
tons in the shops and enforce the
agreement. Members of the union
