TR|BUNALURGED
FOR FEDERAL
WORKERS
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

Creation of tribunal to which
employees of the Federal Govern
ment may appeal cases in which
they believe injuStices have been
done them by administrative Of
ficers will be urged forcefully at
the coming session of Congress, 1t
was learned authoritatively today.
Not only will organized Federal
employees groups press strongly
for the establishment of such an
appeals court for their workers,
but the proposition also will have
behind it the support of at least
one administrative official whose
word will WELD a powerful in.
fluence.
Movement Strengthened
The recent Donovan case, with
its ramifications, has increased
the desire of those interested for
an appeals court.
Added to this, the National
Labor Relations Board, which
rendered the decision in the Dono-
van case, apparently recognized
the necessity for some such ap-
peals agency, and this should have
a considerable effect in bringing
about the reform.
Those who insist that such a
court would be of incalculable
benefit point out that under the
present Set-up, or, at least until
the existence of the National
Labor Relations Board began, an
employe who had any valid griev.
ance against the administrative Of
ficer was afforded no recourse.
If the employe was dismissed,
all that the Civil Service regula-
tionS require is that the depart
ment head furnish a reason.
There are no specifications as to
what those reasons must be, thus
giving wide latitude that opens
the way to possible injustice.
No Appeal Possible
This point was brought out
convincingly in the decision of
the National Labor Relations
Board in the Donovan case as
follows:
"When Donovan was dis
charged, and until the case was
finally submitted to arbitration,
there existed no method by
which he could obtain redress.
Unlike the private emplOye pro-
tected by Sectional (the
collective bargaining guarantee
prOvisi0n), there was no tribu-
nal to which Donovan could re-
sort"

 JUNGLE FL M
 ENDS RUN HERE
Devil Tiger . Will Thrill Audiences at Coliseum
 for Last Times

When Clyde E. Elliott returned to Hollywood from the Malaysian wit- derness where he filmed Frank Bucks Bring Elm Back Alive" his mind was still teeming with impressions of jungle life. He had found the jungle more like a crea- ture than thing-an antagonist that constantly fights man. The Malay native, if he leaves his plan tation intended for year, returns to find that the jungle has swal- lowed his fields.
 Elliott had seen and learned a great deal about this green men ace with it's malarial swamps, it's leeehes, giant spiders and it's snake life. Little of it could be fitted ipto Bucks picture, which had it's own special thrill to be registered. But the director was determined to make another picture in which the jungle would be the villain.
 He told of his plan to James o. Spearing, scenarist and newspaper man Spearing was kindled by the idea. It was preached by the two men to Sidney Kent, President of Fox Film, and Winfield Sheehan, vice-president and general mana ger The result was the assignment to make the picture, Devil Tiger" which will be seen at the Coli scum Theatre for the last times tonight.
 Most Precious Thing In Life" with lovely Jean Arthur and fine supporting cast, is also on this interesting program with Devil Tiger"

 cellent Supporting Cast

A very modern problem in a rural setting provides the theme for Charles Chic" Sales latest War ner Bros. picture, Stranger In Town" which opens Sunday at the Uptown Theatre, with Ann Dvorak, David Manners, Noah Beery and Raymond Hatton.
 As the proprietor of the only grocery store in the town of Boils- vile, Nebraska, Chic is sud- denly faced in his old age with the competition of chain store branch This situation, and the fact that his granddaughter falls in love with the young manager of the chain store, provides a starting point for story which has all the elements of a real. down to earth human story presenting real folks.
 The audience will be given an opportunity to see the real Chic" Sale as he is off-screen. for the opening scenes of the picture show him in his youth at the time he starts the town which later serves as the setting for he bulk of the story. It is the first time in his screen career that Sale has ap- peared without his whiskers and white wig which have fooled many people into believing that he is really forty years older than his actual age.
 In addition to the leading play CTS, Maude Eburne, Lyle Talbot, John Larkin and Jessie Arnold are also seen to advantage.
 Itchy Scratchy" Is Hit
 Itchy Scratchy" one of the best shorts yet produced, almost stole the show at the Uptown last night in spite of the fac that From Hell to Heaven" is a far more in- teresting feature than the title would suggest.

MADRID, April 25.-Major class
battles are looming in Spain, with
the prospect that this May Day will
be day of sharp clashes between
the workers and the armed bands of
the reaction.
Widespread political strikes, grow
ing daily in protest at the amnesty
bill which frees 5000 reactionary
political prisoners but no worker
prisoners, is the Spanish workers
answer to a powerful effort Of the
Spanish ruling class to introduce a
more fascist-like regime.
The cabinet of Premier Alexandra
Lerroux resigned today, having been
pushed out by reactionary interests
who consider that Lerroux's ter
roristic methods against the work
ers have been inadequate.
An active campaign to replace
Lerroux with near-fascist govern
ment was spurred by a rush toward
Spain of hundreds of the most re-
dictionary elements, exiled after the
1881 revolution, and permitted to
return now under the terms of the
amnesty decree.

400 Strike
In Alabama
Steel Mill
Ore Miners Prepare for
Strike; 21,OOO Coal
Miners Still Out
Especial to the Daily WORKER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April U.s.
Four hundred steel workers in the
Thomas blast furnace of the Re-
public Steel Co. struck this morn
ing, while 5000 ore miners threaten
to strike and the $1,000 coal miners
remain out in the face of the N. r.
A. wage scale decision, with which
Roosevelt tried to force the coal
miners back to work.
The Republic steel strikers are
conducting militant picketing. They
demand recognition of the Interna-
tional Union of the Mine, Mill and
Shelter Workers. An election held
last week in the Republic blast fur
mace plant overwhelmingly voted
for labor union and against a
company union. The Republic Co.
refused to recognize this decision
of the workers and the strikers
walked out this morning.
The net result of the n. r. A.
order to the ore miners is a five
cents a day wage reduction because
of one hour less work day.
The officials of the International
Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers
Union CA. F. of L. are talking
about strike action if their demands
are not granted within ten days.
But these officials are delaying,
and meanwhile $4,000 tons of ore
have been stocked up and more is
piling up each day.
The Communist Party unit of the
Thomas blast furnace is distribut-
ing leaflets calling for the election
of rank and file strike commit
tee. The leaflets urge the shutting
down of all ore mines, coal mines
and all other enterprises of the Re-
public Co. and call for flat 20 per
cent wage increase and union rec
ignition.
The N. R. A. decision on the
q 900 striking coal miners called
for 81 day less wages to the
Southern miners than the Northern
scale. The miners refuse to accept
Roosevelt's plea that they go back
under this lower wage scale.

Auto W Orkers Union
Delegation Denied
the Floor
BY A. B. MAGn
Especial to the Daily Workerl

DETROIT, April 25.-Matthew
Smith, general secretary of the M.
E. S. A., independent union of tool
and die makers, has again run true
to form. Once again he has re-
vealed himself as an enemy of
united action of the workers to de-
fend their interests and as an agent
of the strikebreaking Regional La
bor Board, of which he is mem
Der.
At the meeting last night of the
Ford Local, M. E. S. A., Smith and
his clique refused to admit a dele
cation from the Auto Workers
Union, or even to read their letter,
and stifled the persistent demand
of the rank and file for action
against the firing of 300 tool and
die makers, members of the NJ. E.
S. A., by the Ford Co. last Satur-
day.
The A. w. u delegation, headed
by Phil Raymond, national secre-
tary, had come to propose immedi-
ate joint action of the A. w. U.
and the M. E. S. A. against this VIC
limitation for union activity. While
the delegation were allowed to cool
their heels outside the meeting
room. a rank and file M. E. S. A.
member got up and demanded that
the A. w. U. letter be read and the
delegation admitted. The Smith
machine, controlling the meeting,
using typical A. F. of L. tactics, re-
fused even to read the letter or to
put the question to a vote.
Men Demand Action
Throughout the meeting the men
were demanding action. Some of
those fired had been working at
Fords for IL years and wanted a
real fight against the blacklist.
Smith, however, while sprinkling
the workers with radical phrases,
to calm them down, steered every
thing in the direction of the
