A resolution, introduced by the

local to the members. which called
for the utilization Of the locals
funds in The interest OF the unem-
ployed A special meeting was
called to consider it. However the
International CLIQUE sent letter to
the officers of the local. informing
them that if this resolution would be
permitted to pass, the local officers
would be held responsible. The
same clique called upon the locals
bondirg company. and informed
them that the officers intended to
misuse the locals funds. The presi-
dent of the LEGAL closed the meeting
the minute the letter was read
These two gentlemen, Twin end
Gerber received a copy of this re-
sc'ution and a notice Of the meet

The reason was obvious. They
would have to take stand with the
International. clique which would
expose them still more.
The rank and file however, raised
another petition immediately, for
another meeting, before the month
expired, in order to prevent the
suspension Of the unemployed. Again.

Julius Gerber Rakes Large Commissions for Union Printing Joe
TWIN Heads Bosses Association; $4,000 Misused

While being member of Local
No. %, he became the General
Manager Of the Brooklyn Bosses
Association OF Roofers and Tin
smiths. Every boss who joined this
new racket, had to pay $40 imitation.
Being the General Manager and
''--"- c. t''n hc~ses. he controlled
the jobs. This in turn gave him a
chance to control local votes. The
Jewish members who worked in
Brooklyn feared him. Some OF them
fear him even now, although he is
looked upon at present as the
meanest creatures on two legs and
has no power.
Tho-e is 81 limit to everything.
And the members of Local No. %,
demanded from the officials that
Tuvin--be either the manager of the
Brooklyn Bosses Association and
leave the local or remain in the
local and stop organizing the bosses
against the Union. He resigned his
job officially. But nobody Knows
how this fellow made living since
then.
The latest actions Of these two
gentlemen prove Furthermore how
closely they are connected with the
Internationais policy of Wholesale
suspension of the unemployed from
Local No. %.

How NRA Works In
Omaha Meat Plants

OMAHA, Neb.-Here is an example
Of how the NRA works in the pack
ing plants in Omaha, Neb The local
press said about 300 workers were be-
ing hired by the packers last week.
After careful checking up, we es-
innate that $50 workers have been
hired during the last week by all
plants combined.
Swift Co. laid off 20 men in the
sheep kill two weeks ago. A weeI,
later 10 of these were rehired, not
for work in the sheep kill, but for
miscellaneous work. On August IL
these 10 men were laid off again
The sheep kill had a gang that killed
$50 sheep an hour two weeks ago.
Now only 210 sheep are killed per
hour.
Armour'S started week ago with
two shifts in the beef kill. The first
shift kills 119 cattle per hour, and
work 8 hours. The second shift kills
So per hour and work hours. Be-
fore this Encouragement the beef kill
worked 9 hours and killed 1900 to
1880 a day; now the work is going
on 16 hours a day and only little
more than 1900 are killed. The op-
inion by the fellows in the beef kill
is that this is only a temporary ar
rangement and that in few DAYS
the company will go back to one
shift.
The fellows working the second
shift are grumbling because of the
night work. The company is not
making as much profit as when
working one shift.
The wages have been raised 171a
per cent. This does not mean any
real raise, since the wages have been
cut about rs to 80 per cent in addi-
ton to the bonus since two years
ago.
Preparations are now under way
for a struggle against the speed-up,
and for minimum weekly wage.

BY WILLIAM L. BELL

There are two secretaries Of the
Socialist" Party in Local No. % of
the Sheet Metal Workers Industrial
Union of New York. They are j.
Gerber, Secretary of the Socialist"
City Committee and Joe TWIN. the
Secretary of the Labor Committee
OF the Socialist Party. 1t would be
OF great Importance to evaluate the
activities of these two gentlemen in
this local union.
Gerber was once the secretary of
Local No. %. That was long before
the war. Since then, he substituted
his trade for Socialist Party poll
tics, and lost his standing as a
leader in the union. But politics
does not fill ones stomach. Gerber
became an agent of the Malvin
Press, where Hillquit has majority
of shares. The Malvin Press charges
the A. F. of L. locals from 80 per
cent to 40 per cent more than other
union printing companies. And Ger
Der gets IS per cent commission for
every job he brings in.
What they were doing in the
union is seen by the following event.
At a meeting in Cooper Union on
October LIST, 1881 it was decided by
$500 out of 1890 members to as
sess the working members 10 percent,
and the two officials who receive
$66 and $110 respectively and the
administration 80 per cent. The
international burocrats declared it
illegal and had the backing Of
Julius Gerber. He told them how
to maneuver with the vote, but

failed together with them.
What bhe membership war

failed together with them.
What bhe membership wanted
was:
To maintain the unemployed;
yearly elections = instead of the
three year term; to have quarterly
financial reports; to take care of
the old members; to have the right
to use the locals funds as the local
desires; local autonomy.
When Stuart Chase investigated
the financial status of the local,
after the old clique was defeated,
the membership found that nine
financial boolss-reteipts and dis
bursements - were missing; that
about 100000 was misused. The
local brought these old grafters to
trial, and found them guilty, but
julius Gerber fought that they get
a square deal" 1t was at Z E. 18th
st. that Gerber worked out their
defense with them. The members
accepted the report of the trial
unanimously but julius Gerber is
still defending his partners.
Tuvim, the secretary of the so
cialist Labor Committee received
his labor education in the Hebrew
Trades, as an errand boy. At the
beginning he started out as a
fighter" against corruption in the
local and the International.

Prick Co. Starves
Miners; Get 2 Days
WOrkat S6.9SaWeek
Men Return OnlyWhen
Own Checkweighmen
Are Accepted

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. Is
The Prick mines are on two-days
a week operation since the miners
were sent back to work at the order
Of Roosevelt, the coal bosses and
John L. Lewis. This reflects the
decline in steel production also, and
the determination to maintain
starvation level of wages.
With such an operating schedule
the miners wages will not exceed
S6.9S week. thus putting into ef-
feet the wage scale proposed by
Mcneil, spokesman for the Mellon,
Morgan and Rockefeller group, and
the Appalachian coal operators at
the Washington code hearings.
Pagan, district president of the
UMWA, is issuing fake statements
to the United Press about miners
returning to work, when the fact
is, the miners are returning only in
those mines where checkweighmen
have been elected and accepted.
Strikes follow wherever the COM
peny refuses to recognize the elect
cd checkweighmen.
The miners, with almost no ex-
ceptions, are electing local strike
leaders rs checkweighmen. This
naturally makes for sharpening
Of the whole situation.

One Third Removed
from Relief Lists,
Investig atorS Say
Relief Conference on
Saturday Called to
Fight Starvation

NEW YORK.-When a Home Re-
lief Bureau investigator reported OF
threats to commit suicide among her
clients who can no longer bear starry
alton, the supervisor cynicaIly re-
marked, Let them do it, it will mean
less on the food tickets" These re-
marks and reports of wholesale re-
moval of families from relief have
been reported to the Daily Worker
by investigators in all boroughs.
One investigator reports that out
Of 100 cases in her charge, 40 have
been removed. From similar reports
it can be estimated that about one
third Of the 250,0oo families have
been taken off home or work relief.
This is done in such quiet manner
as not to arouse general resentment.
Investigators are instructed to re-
move families from relief if there is
suspicion Of concealed resources. -
Any family having an insurance po-
Icy or if there is only suspicion"
that relative has any resources
may Immediately be suspended from
relief Even in cases where there is
suspicion of concealed income
the persons are summarily stricken
from relief lists. That is if men,
Der of the family sells ice cream or
shoe laces and augments the Gin
come" by so cents or dollar week
the family Losses its relief entirely.
Grover Whalen, city chairman OF
the MIRA and Welfare Commissioner
Taylor gloat over the fact that ap-
plicationS for relief have dropped
According to an investigator in
Brooklyn NEEDY families are kept
away from the Offices and told to
wait at home" In this way the num-
Der of applicants are kept low. In
some offices as In Brownsville, one
must wait days before they can gain
even admittance. One case was re-
ported OF family of 5 which ap-
piled in the early part of April and
was visited by an investigator only
in the first week of August.
The number of eYictions are con-
tinuously rising. A Brooklyn inves-
tigator who cares for some rs cases
brought at the end of the day %
eviction notices. Approximately one
third of her clients will be thrown
on the streets within a week. This
picture exists in other parts of the
city as we'll.
To plan fight against the in
creasing cuts in relief, and evictions
a conference has been called for Sat
urday 10 am. at Irving Plaza. Or
carnations will gather to draft a
Workers Ordinance containing de-
mands to the city government to as
sure every worker the necessary re-
lief and stopping of evictions. 1t will
map a program to mobilize the work
ers of this citv in the roticr-v'Ie
campaign for the adoption of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill.

JObleSs Councils
Ask Compensation
for Camp Deaths

NEW YORK. - Answering Robert
Fechner's letter received yesterday by
the National Committee of Unem-
ployed Councils, in which the Ma
tional Administrator Of the forced
labor camps absolves officials from
any blame in the death of BENJAMIN
De Noia, the Committee issued the
following statement: \
Neither the destitute parents of
Benjamin de Noia, nor the parents of
the more than 100000 unemployed
youths who have been lured and
driven into the Reforestation Camps
can accept the anbi of President
Roosevelt's forced-1abor camp admin
istrator.
"Fechner declares that this fatal
accident was one for which no blame
could be attached to anyone con-
nected with the camp We say, In
the name of the unemployed and
employed workers of this country,
that the blame is to be attached to
those responsible for driving mex
perienced youths into hazardous occu-
pations for which they have not been
equipped by training and experience.
Roosevelt, Fechner, Perkins and
their willing agent, William Green,
know full well that these youths are
being exposed to the danger of fatal
accidents. They are, however, indif-
ferent because these youths whose
lives are placed in peril are unem-
ployed workers.
Furthermore, the President and
Mr.. Fechner are directly responsible
Tor the fact that the families of such
youths are left desolate and burdened
With additional debts at the very mo-
ment when they lose what is in most
instances their sole bread winner.
I'VE hold the Roosevelt administra-
ton directly responsible for what
amounts to the murder of these
youths. We demand and will fight to
force the government to provide ade-
quate compensation for the immedi-
ate victims and for all other youths
who are injured in the course of
their forced labor in these camps"
