Divided on Way
to Brew Coffee
Cooks Not in Accord as to
Proper Formula.

In the old days when coffee was
expensive and hard to get, cooks
kept their methods of brewing 1t
deep dark secret. Coffee brewers
fell into two schools: The boiling
point advocates. and the below boil
Ing point advocates. The boiling
point group was composed of those
who drank coffee for the stimulation
1t imparts. This method, includes
the old-fashIoned boiling formulas
where the water Is kept bubblfng a
few seconds or minutes after the adj
dItIon of the coffee, after which 1t
is set on the back of the stove to
steep for fifteen minutes or so. This
procedure gives stronger flavor and
extracts larger amount of caffein.
The below boiling point advocates
were composed of those who drank
coffee chiefly for Its aroma and fla
vor. Taste and smell are more close
ly connected than the average per-
son suspects You easily can prove
1t for yourself by holding your nose
when you eat or drink. The only fla
vors you can taste without the help
of your nose are sour, sweet, bitter
and salt. Every other flavor Is not
tasted, but smelled. Try holding your
nose when you drink cup of cof-
fee, and you will be surprised to find
that you can taste nothing, unless.
of course, you use sugar. Then YOU
can taste the sweet, but not the cof-
fee flavor. Now release your nose
and see how quickly you recognize
the taste of coffee.
The below boiling point method
gives a liquid with more OF the nat
ural aroma and flavor of the roasted
coffee bean. These cooks bring the
water to full boil, but take It Oft
the fire moment or two to stop Its
hubbllng before the coffee is added.
The beverage Is then kept hot until
1t has acquired the right flavor, but
1t Is not allowed to come to the boil.
Coffee made by either method had to
be cleared with dash Of cold water
or the addition OF egg shells.
Today the best coffee cooks have
turned their backs on old-fashloned
methods because Of the difficulty of
extracting just the proper amount Of
flavor from the elusive bean. Again
they divide into schools: The perc0-
lator advocates and the drip coffee
advocates. The former make their
coffee by d device that passes the
water up central tube to descend
through the coffee, the main body OF
which never comes to boil. The
drip coffee lovers use the French
method of pouring boiling water
through finely ground coffee placed
In receptacle lined with filter pa
per.
Some people insist that coffee MAX
Ing lis lost art. Since 1t has become
inexpensive and easy to get, people
take coffee drinking for granted in
stead Of making 1t rite. Whatever
the truth may be, coffee has survived
its critics, outlived Its restrictions,
and holds an enviable record OF long

development of the struggle that is

to encourage the workers of other

who called a general strike, and
when he wanted to sell out the strike
at a membership meeting in Mecca
Temple, had first to send three paint
ers to the hospital because he was
afraid the enthusiastic spirit Of the
members would be too much for the
wonderful settlement he mad for
them.
When zausner called the general
strike, although the Alteration Paint
ers Union knew the need for prepar-
ing the painters for this strike, such
as issuing thousands of leaflets, with
demands, the necessity for organic
ing the necessary committees; al
though the strike came as a surprise,
the Alteration Painters Union at
once isued statement for the nee
e5sity of a general strike. They de-
clared a stoppago in all the union
shops at once. A General member
ship meeting was c7lled in irving
Plaza and vote taken and plans
laid for a real general strike. But
instead of setting up a united front
committee from both unions to con-
duct the strike, as demanded by the
Alteration Painters Union, Zausner
declared the strike settled with only
the master painter bosses, only a very
small minority Of the shops in the
trade. The wage scale at first adopted
of $165 an hour for a six-hour day,
should never have been bargained
away to the bosses. First because
~ ha low,
exists in the trade, the working day
must be cut to six hours to give
more painters chance to get work.
If a painter is to supply his family
with the necessities of life, taking
in the rising cost Of living in the
past two years, the 1890 of today
is really only S7.00. This demand
| could have easily been won if fight
had been put up. But ZauSner bar
gained away this demand and the
$500 seven hour day was established.
But even these wages and hours re-
main on paper if preparations are
not made to see that these condi-
tons are lived up to.

Space does not permit giving many
more examples that could be cited
However, we can say that 1t is just
such a situation as expressed in the
above examples that prompted the
writer's of the Trade Union Unity
League National Board Resolution
on the Role and Work of the Revolu-
tionary Unions in the Movement and
Struggle of the Unemployed to state
that "such an attitude is inconsistent
with the most elementary duties Of a
revolutionary economic organization,
and If persisted in, would prove dis
astrous for the workers who are de-
pendent upon the revolutionary trade
union movement for leadership and
for these organizations as SUCH"
The unemployed movement in
New York has certainly been de-
prived of the conscious experienced
leadership that the revolutionary
unions can provide. To say the
unions are busy defending the con-
ditions of the workers in the shop
is no excuse since the maintenance

depends to a large extent on the de-
velopment Of the struggle for Unem-

this is true, but continues to do
nothing about it and 1t is high time
that they stop giving lip-service to

their resolutions on unemployed work
into practice.

BY RICHARD SULLIVAN
(Organizer, Unemployed Council
Greater New York;

The revolutionary trade unions in
New York City have long ago ac-
cepted the decision of the 9th Red
International Of Labor Unions PIE
mum, which states that "the organ
ization of the every day struggles Of
the unemployed for their immediate
needs is central task of the revolu-
tionary trade union movement" This
task becomes more and more i'm
portant with the growth of forced
labor and the increasing use of the
relief machinery as strike-brealSing
agency.
How have the trade unions in New
York applied this decision in their
daily work? With the exception of
the Marine Workers Industrial Union
which has made some attempts to
organize the struggle of the unem-
ployed seamen and longshoremen for
relief, there is not one union in New
York that can state that it is at
tempting to organize the unemployed
or even to involve it's membership
in the struggles of the unemployed
that are taking place. This in spite
OF the fact that in each industry
there Is tremendous field for build
ing a movement among the unem-
ployed, and for building the unions
in the struggle for the needs of the
unemployed. For example;

now union men and demand the
boss sign with the union. Then the
Som Leasing Co. had to look around
for some strike breakers, md the
boss knew where to go for these.
He got in touch with the District
Council official and they sent him an
official union strike-breaker. The
Amsterdam Paint Supply Co. At 1852
University Ave. one of the houses on
strike, eight Brotherhood Painters
went off the JOB when told about
the strike. and when they called the
District Council were told to go to
work there or they would never get
a Job from the union. At 129th st.
and Convent Ave, six Brotherhood
Painters were eating lunch and when
told about the strike, at once took
of their overalls even though the
foreman told them to finish the day.
But six painters arrived in the same
scab Amsterdam Paint Supply truck,
and although the strikers pleaded
with them about the strike, and tell
ing them if they went to work they
would be scabs, they answered they
were going to work even if there was
strike in the building.
But all the yelling Of the zausner
gangStsrS is for a purpose. If the
Alteration Painters Union were wiped
out he could give the bosses better
bargains. The brotherhood members
must realize that existence of the
Alteration Painters Union is of vital
Importance to them and to the trade.
Raise the question at your local
meeting. Ask zausner why the
gangste-s spend their time coming
to union shops instead of organizing
the open shops? Why three Brother
| hood Painters had to be beaten at
the Mecca Temple meeting? Why
was not united front committee
established Of both unions to con
duct real militant strike? Why
was the six-hour day bargained away
to the bosses? Why was John Svire.
a Negro picket together with two
/ other pickets brutally attacked By
Zausner's gangsters on the picket
line?
But the time is not far off when
the members of the brotherhood will
throw out these rotten officials and
elect real leaders who will put up
a real fight in the trade, then there
will be no need Of two unions, and
the painters will see this.
Raise the question at your local
meeting Of "hands off the Altera-
ton Painters Union" which is con-

uever to put third turn and stimuli
taneously visit most Of the clippers at
their homes telling them that the
strike was over and there was work
for all the clippers, had been quite
successful. Continuation Of the eff
fort to turn the lockout into a strike
would only have meant sharp clashes
between the locked-out clippers and
honest clippers who never had
chance to vote on the question of
strike.
In the meantime, in addition to
work on the inside, and a fight for
relief from the city, the clippers are
preparing to send a delegation to
Washington to protest his failure to
answer their telegram demanding
that the NRA support them and to
