DARTS, May 22.-The marriage
Il Of Barbara Hutton, New York
heiress, to Prince Alexis Mdivani,
the romantic Russian who followed
her around the world, was up in
the air again today with no date
set, and a new family discussion
under way
Miss Hutton and her parents
went over the situation fairly
thoroughly, it was indicated, after
which she declared her marriage
was far from decided, although
Sunday, June 20, was said to be
the date set.
Il won't admit it, and I won't
deny anything" she said. Il
haven't definitely made up my
mind-but I may be driven into
marriage just to end the flood of
proposing letters, and to give the
public something to talk about be-
sides my fortune. That should be
heavenly"
Her father again said the family
had no objection to Prin e
Mdivani and that they would not
insist she marry an American.
Miss Hutton, heiress to a large
share of the Woolworth millions,
is reputed to be one of the richest
young women in the world.

said in an open hearing before the
National Labor Board: 81 think we'll
settle the dyers strike in camera (be-
hind closed doors)."
And that is just what the N. R. A.
proposes to do, not only with respect
to the dyers, but with respect to all
of the $1,000 striking textile workers.
The militant N. T. w. U. leaders,
excluded from secret conferences yes
terday while Panken trotted from
one confab to another, finally were
heard in the open. 1t was learned
today, however, that after this pro-
ceedure, there was another secret
get-together in the Office of General
johnson.
This conference was devoted to at
tempts by johnson, Chairman Wag-
ner of the National Labor Board,
Sidney Hillman of the Labor Ad-
yisory Board, and Deputy Whiteside
to obtain the promise of struck mill
manufacturers, who also were pre-
sent, to agree to a $27-a-week aver
age wage for weavers IF an average
wage of $22-a-week is paid by manu-
facturers whose workers have not
struck.
The proposal in itself was booed
and laughed at in the open hearing,
workers mumbling throughout the
vast, magnificent government hall,
"That would only bring out the mills
not yet struck"
johnson had been telegraphed by
local unions in Paterson that the
slaughter of their leaders would not
drive them back to work. Never
theless the N. R. A. Administrator
left this matter of the terror out OF
the discussion. The manufacturers
declined to agree even to the $27-a-
week average for striking weavars.
To this Johnson responded, the

showed. At the same time production
has sunk to still lower level again,
especially in the needle trades.
The workers attention was called
to the A. F. of L. bureaucrats, who,
in conjunction with the MIRA, use
all possible SANDER in order to stifle
rank and file activity Of the workers.
Plan Actions
A number of measures were adopt
ed to be taken in the immediate fu-
ture: the struggle for the 30-hour
week, the demand for unemployment
insurance and more adequate relief,
the creation of united front commit
tees in the shop to uphold union con-
ditions and a declaration by the
conference clarifying the serious
need of a united front.
The conference elected commit
tee of 10, representing all depart
ments. They will appear before the

test against the strike breaking tao
tics of many N.R.A. officials and de-
mand the right of the workers to
belong to the union Of their own
choosing.

serve as the executive committee of

decisions. Another conference will be

Jim Crow Drive Is
Renewed in Harlem
Foil Arrest of White
Worker Walking
With Negroes

NEW YORK.-Tammany police
on Saturday night renewed their
attempts to prevent Negro and
white workers from mingling on
the streets of Harlem.
A group of workers, walking
home from a dance given by Unit
422 of the Harlem Section of the
Communist Party to raise funds
for the Communist election cam
paign, was accosted by a Negro
policeman, who arrested a white
worker. Isidore Dorfman, recently
beaten up by Tammany's uniformed
thugs for taking part in a protest
meeting on West 138th Street
against the lynch murder of James
Matthews, Negro prisoner, on We'll
fare Island.
To the protests of Louis Camp
bell and Snipes, Negro leaders OF
the Unemployed Council of Harlem,
the cop said he had orders to stop
any Negro and white workers he
found walking the streets together.
A crowd of workers gathered dur
ing the argument, and waxing in
dignant wrested Dorfman from the
policeman who was forced to beat
hasty retreat before the anger
of the Harlem workers.
The first exposure of the Tam
many police order against associa-
ton of white and Negro workers
occurred about two months ago
with the arrest of Cyril Briggs,
then editor of the Harlem Liberia
tor, while accompanying a Negro
woman member of the Liberator
staff to her home. Briggs, who is
prominent Negro leader, was mis-
taken for white by the arresting
officer. In court he was charged
with resisting an officer. The case
was finally dismissed as a direct
result of the thunder Of protest
from white and Negro workers and
intellectuals throughout the city.
