Boavder Me Weistock Tell Aims OF Cleveland Conference

NEW YORK-"Why are the
Communists supporting the united
front trade union conference in
Cleveland" Earl Browder, secre-
tary of the Communist Party and a
member of the arrangements COM
mittee, was asked in an interview
at 10 Fifth Ave. Monday after
noon. Present at the interview
were A. j. Music, chairman of the
Conference for Progressive Labor
Action, and Louis Weinstock, of
the A. F. of l.. Committee for I'm

"The Communists take part in
every action trying to organize the
workers to fight for an improve
ment of their conditions. We
haven't the slightest illusions
about the NRA codes and we know
that only by organizing and fight
ing will the workers be able to win
improved conditions.

been applied, definitely lower the

thing is being done to stop action

Commission Orders
6 Per Cent Cut in
n. Y. Utility Rates
Leaves Main Profits
Untouched; Companies
. Will Fight in Courts

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The
leading electric light companies
were ordered by the Public Service
Commission to reduce their rates
6 per cent on September 1. This
does not mean that the reduction
will go into effect on that day, since
the companies have the right to con-
test the ruling of the commission
in the courts. Such court action is
expected soon.
The electricity rates in New York
City have been extraordinarily high
for many years. The present pro-
posed reduction still leaves them
among the highest in the country.
The city's power companies, the
Consolidated Gas Company, Brook
Ign Edison, New York Edison, New
York and Queens Lighting Com
pany, are all controlled by Wall
Street banking interests. The sur
plus accounts Of these companies
have been swollen by enormous
profits. In addition, these compa-
mics have been paying enormous
dividends. The total surplus account
for these companies now totals
s167,000,000.
The Public Service Commission
does not attack the enormous prof
its of the utility companies. It
merely wishes to limit them to what
it calls reasonable profit"

ALL. for Unity
If Cleaners, Dyers
Union Disbands

NEW YORK.-A plan for unity
of the Cleaners, Dyers and Pres
sers Union with the A. F. of L.
union in the trade proposed at
meeting called on Saturday, Aug
ust IL was not accepted by the
A. F. of L. representatives. In
stead, the A. F. of L. demanded
that the Cleaners, Dyers and Pres
sers Union disband and that the
present officials of the A. F. of L..
take ever the consolidated local.
Proposals of the Cleaners, Dyers
and Pressers Union were as fol-
lows: that both locals merge i'm
mediately, that in case of strike
both locals work together for She
improvement of the conditions of
all workers; that the committee of
the A. F. of L. local appear at a
membership meeting and present
its demands. If the membership
of the local is unwilling to accept
the A. F. of L. leadership, the I'M
ion proposed that the officials step
aside and new election take place.
At a meeting of the membership
last Monday, a report of unity
negotiations was given but the A.
F. of L. committee failed to ap-
pear and have not been heard from
since then.

Deny Injunction
Against NTWIU
Refuse to Quash In
junction of Bosses

NEW YORK.-Supreme Court JUS
tice Hofstadter, former head of the
New York State Investigating Com
mittee of New York City affairs, to-
day denied a petition of injunction
against the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union. The motion, pre-
sented by the Joint Council of the
International Fur Workers Union,
was heard before the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, County Of
New York, Part One. Mr.. l.. w. Bou-
dine was the council for the de-
PENDANT.
AT the same time, Justice Hofstad-
ter denied a motion of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union to
remove temporary injunction
against the Associated Fur Manufac-
turers, Inc, requiring this association
to employ only members of the In
ternational Fur Workers Union and
to lock out members Of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union.
This temporary injunction had been
granted the International Fur Work
ers Union by default of the Asso-
ciated Fur Manufacturers, Inc. at the
hearing last May.
The final hearing on this injunc-
ton will be held in October. Justice
Hofstadter ruled that there was no
reason for removing the temporary
injunction, in as much as it was not
being enforced anyway.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union considers the refusal of
Justice Hofstadter to grant an In
junction against it a victory, in as
much as the International Fur Work
ers' Union and the Associated Fur
Manufacturers, Inc, unsuccessfully
sought to show that the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union was
intimidating the workers, whereas
the contention of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union was that
the workers abandoned the American
Federation of Labor union and vol
unfairly joined the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union.

Music, in explaining how the

ports from the South showing
that only few mills are actually
working under the code which has
been in existence for over a
month. "All Negro workers are be-
ing fired" he said. "In mills where
the code is applied wages are cut
by firing experienced workers and
re-hiring them as learners We

workers to mobilize for struggle

Metal, Wood Display
Fixture Workers Out
in Gen'l Metal Strike

NEW YORK.-Among the trades
organized by the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union in it's
drive to establish union conditions
in the industry are the Metal and
Wood Display Fixtures and Figure
Makers Union which came out on
strike nearly one hundred per cent
last Tuesday when the, general
metal strike was called. At last
Fridays meeting of the strikers,
the committee of the union re-
ported the conference with the
bosses failed to bring results on
the question Of wage increases and
the demand that all hiring and fir
ing should be done by the union.
On hearing the report the work
ers decided to continue the fight
until the demands for which they're
striking are won. Individual shop
settlements are being concluded
with the approval Of the workers.
A call has been issued by the
strike committee of the Union to
workers of the trade especially the
Palmerberg workers to Join the
struggle for better conditions.

mental and physical energies into the
channel of an occupation that should
at most be a passionate hobby.
Vines life is based on tennis. OBJ
vio:.sly, his outlook is predominantly
colored by it. Champions don't know
when they're through. How a sudden
fall from the pinnacle will affect him
is problematical. Tilden's elimination
came as matter of course. His
game declined naturally with his age
and he passed out Of the amateur
picture in time to cash in on his
fame. But Vines is % and he may
regard the beatings he took in the
light of catastrophes. Further set
backs may embitter him for good.
BY the nature of the associations
tennis players form, Vines will never
be in the predicament of Eddie Tolan,
whose family was starving just
few months after his double tri-
umph in the Olympics, or of Jimmy
Hennigan, the Olympic marathoner,
who has just one day left before he's
evicted from his Medford home. All
the same, thunderous ovations in
Roland Garros Stadium and royal
receptions at Wimbledon are hardly
proper fundamental training for bond
statesmen and book photographers.
At that, book-autographing can no
longer be looked upon as a reliable
source of income Big Bill Tilden's
native literary gift and fertility seem
to have waned in proportion to the
snap behind his cannonpall service.

Slipper Workers in
Big Mass Picketing
NRA Puts Industry
Under Blanket Code

NEW YORK.-A downpour of rain
did not stop the big mass picksting
demonstration Of striking slipper
workers at the Broadway shops yes
terday morning. Following the mass
picketing the workers marched to
Manhattan Lyceum where an entlus-
iastic strike meeting was held at
which Fred Biedenkapp, secretary OF
the Shoe and Leather Workers IN
dustrial Union reported on the code
hearings at Washington.
The NRA administration referred
the shoe bosses code back to them
for revision and placed the shoe in
dustry under the blanket code pend
ing the new code. The shoe bosses
are demanding 1o4o hours of work a
year to be divided at their discretion
and minimum wage OF $14 for skill
led and $40 for unskilled workers.
The union representative demanded a
35 hour week. $1O5 an hour for skill
led workers and so cents an hour for
unskilled workers. Biedenkapp stres-
sed the Importance Of continuing the
strike as the only guarantee that the
bosses slave code will be defeated.
THE strike is thus far decisively
in cur favor, declared A Rosenberg,
the organizer of the slipper strike.
When an employer signs an agree
ment with the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union, the crew
will immediately go back to work,
said Rosenberg branding all remarks
TO the contrary as lies issued by the
b"~~es TO discredit the union.
The big manufacturers have threat
ensd to terrorizs the small ones, il
they fail to meet the obligations pre-
scribed and are determined to ex-
terminate the smaller manufacturers
according to reports. The strikers
are firm for their demands for union
conditions.

5 More Shops Settle
in Bathrobe Strike

NEW YORK.-New settlements
in the strike of the bathrobe work
ers were made on Saturday when
five more bosses signed up. The
season is now in full swing and
manufacturers are pressing for de-
liveries. AS a result Of the deter
mination of the strikers, the bosses
are forced to settle with the union
and grant substantial increases
amounting to from 80 to 40 per
cent and in some instances 80 per
cent.
The workers Of the Catalano
shop, whom the bosses had sue
ceeded in inducing to return to
work under company union,
