3 SHOPS OUT IN
LEATHER STRIKE

GLOVERSVILLE. Workers in
three firms here and in Johnstown
are out on strike for a Is per cent
pay increase, which was taken from
them last year These three firms
comprise practically the whole leather
industry in Fulton County.
About 1870 men have been on strike
since last Monday, following the re-
fusal to grant the wage demands of
the workers. At a meeting where a
strike vote was taken, despite the
attempts of Slovak priest, zadzora,
to disrupt the meeting, the workers
voted unanimously for the strike.
The bosses are anxious to settle the
strike, for thousands of dollars of
furs are left in the lining process,
and they are afraid that they will
rot If the strike is prolonged.
At meeting held last Saturday a
strong strike committee was set UP,
and demands were made that no
one be Disseminated against after
the strike. 1t is expected that strong
shop committees and a rank-and file
controlled leather workers union will
be built up.

PUBLIC WORKS
PROGRAM SEEN
AS BIG FRAUD
To Spend 100000, 600
And Give Work To
Some $4,000

WASHINGTON, June Io.-The
Roosevelt ballyhoo proceeds as usual
even though congress is not now IN
session, and Roosevelt is now on his
all-Sumrner vacation. Accompanying
the emergency legislation that the
administration admits is based upon
wartime presidents is a wartime
publicity bureau. The job OF the
publicity agents Of the adrninfstra-
ton is to make it appear that re-
covery is generally under way.
Report Expenditure of $500, 900 600
1t was reported yesterday that
there was to be an expenditure OF
some $500, 100000 for public works,
under the national recovery act"
OF this s75,000,0o0 is to go for ono
project in New York City-a new
toll tunnel under the Hudson. This
would employ $500 men for three
years. If workers are employed at
such ratio for the balance of the
300 million, it only means that from
$4,000 to $4,000 will be employed for
the total amount. The rest will go
to the contractors, the suppliers Of
material, ETC.
Give Lie to Publicity on Jobs
The capitalist press reported that
the 300 million would give jobs to
$4,000, but the facts furnished by
each city and state named as pro-
bable beneficiaries show that not
much more than one tenth the num-
Der will be employed
Even if there were $4,000 en-
ployed at hunger wages on the basis
Of Roosevelt's public works" and
"reforestration' forced labor schemes
there would still be more than six

AT SIMMONS BED
Is Percent Increase in
Price Rates; Company
Fears Union

KENOSHA, Wis, June 19.-After
sn elected committee of the workers
had presented their demands, the
superintendent of the rolling mill of
the Simmons Bed Co, conceded a
Is per cent raise in piece work rates
for the 80 men employed here. The
company, which granted the de-
mands of the closers ia the mattress
department following walk out
some weeks ago, fears the spread of
the militant FlHnitures Workers In
dustrial Union. The yassosy fcss aal4e
men working on the hot rolls means
an increase from 40 cents to IS and
70 cents an hour.
The workers in the rolling mill
were organized during the 1919 steel
strike by the A. F. of L. The COM
pany was able to break the union in
1928 after a shutdown of six months
and because of the failure of the
union to organize the entire plant.
In 1924 when the men spontaneously
walked out against wage cuts the
company hastily granted their de-
mands fearing the return Of the
union which would demand higher
wages and less hours
Company Spreads False Rumors
TIL company is deliberately
spreading a rumor of a general wage
increase of is per cent on July 1st
TO prevent the men from organizing
to demand wage increases and
shorter hours. At the same time
the spring temperers were given a
cut of 4 cents per hundred on their
wage rate two weeks ago.
Repair men on the kilns recently
won raise from 40 cents to so cents
after refusing to work at the pre-
vious low rate.

that they should organize militant
grievance committees to demand bet

ROOSEVELT CUTS
WAGES OF POST
OFFICE WORKERS
PostalW Workers to Lose
SO, 5000 Thru Forced
Vacations Without Pay

WASHINGTON, June 19. = Postal
workers will get another wage cut Of
$500, 600, Roosevelt's Postmaster
General Farley announced today. He
has ordered that all postal employees
must take off nine days without pay.
In the cases where the rural mail
III pay without the nine day furlough
they will be forced to take reductions
III pay without the furlough nine day
furlough.
These orders are part Of Roosevelt S
program embodied in tpe Independ-
ent Offices Bill to cut the wages Of
all Federal employees by about $780,
100000.
It is reported that in Chicago the
lers~from Washington will reduce
the buying power of the Federal en-
ployees in the postal and other Fed
eral departments by 25 per cent.
Permanent Wage Cut
Postmaster Farley. who was one OF
Roosevelt's leading campaign man
ayers. and who is now one of Roose-
yelt's closest advisers. also announced
that if business did not improve by
September 1. the forced vacations
without pay would be extended indie
finitely.
This sharp reduction in the already
meagre wages of the Postal employees
was announced at the same time that
Poosyelts administrator of the IN
dustrial Control Bill asked employers
TO increase wages.

autos, it was reported today.
The final decisions of the
committee have not been made
public. But it is widely con-
coded that instead of the auto taxes
the main taxes will be raised by a
sales tax, an increase in subway
fares, and more wage-cuts.
The $15,000,000 of proposed taxes
on various city inspection services
licensing, etc, will, in all probability
be retained.
The city must raise $30,00o.00 be-
fore Dec. IL, the day when the next
payments to the bankers fall due
This gives the city government the
opportunity to withhold its main
blows against the masses until after
the elections. This was arranged
with the bankers.

that the teachers of Chicago, who
have been deprived of pay for ovei
two years, were also told that the
continuation Of their salaries would
be dependent upon their buying OF
city bonds
Cut All Relief.
To guarantee the interest pay
ments to the bankers, the city ha:
cut all relief payments. Thousands
of workers families face immediate
eviction because relief rent pay
nnents have been stopped. The
Board of Estimate, in flat contradic-
skaon to the statements of the Mayor
has declared that the new funds te
be raised will not be allocated fol
relief purposes.
Meanwhile, the city is paying
81 ,0000 month in extra interest
payments to the bankers for the
privilege of having the $225 DOC, o0c
loan, which fell due on June 10, re-
newed to December IL.

basis OF exchange. he also
proposed that the governments
agree to abandon the practice
of debasing or melting silver coins
and urged the substitution of silver
coins for money of small denomina-
tions.
No Return to Gold Standard
Pittman briefly explained that the
United States did not contemplate
returning to the gold standard in
order to avoid giving the impression
That it might do so. He said there
must be distinction between his
advocacy Of gold as an exchange
yardstick in the international field
and the gold standard as it existed
i'll the United States before March
4th
He urges that the use of gold be
confined to its employment as a
cover for circulation and as a me-
dunn of settling international ball
ances and payment. This means, +"
said Pittman, that gold, either in
coin or bullion, will be withdrawn
from circulation
Pittman dealt at considerable
length with the question of silver,
urging a dual backing Of gold and
silver for currency issues Of central
banks.
Sees Old Free Silver Illusion
The capitalist economists here are
sufficiently familiar with such ex-
periments to recognize this as a sill
yer plea and urged it as revival of
the old free silver quackery so long
popular in the United States.
French Assail Initiation.
In the monetary commissions sub

net of France vigorously denounced
what he termed an artificial sys-
tenn" of devaluation of currency as a
means of raising price levels. He
said that initiation, far from pro-
ducing beneficial results, only made
matters worse by throwing every
thing out of gear, reducing purchas-
ing power and generally increasing
all the evils from which the world
is suffering.
