This violence was long ago pre-

Of the Fusion administration basic
policy. An indication of what was
to come in the line of police sup
preston was to be seen less than
a month and half after LaGuar-

by Police Commissioner Organ"
Today, when the bloody results
of this reorganization are known to
all New York workers, when it be-
comes clear that LaGuardia and his
associates will stop at nothing to
victimize the masses of this city in
the interests of his Wall Street
banker-masters, it is more than
ever before necessary for these bru-

their FLOODED source, City Hall

Form Committee to
Gust OSip WOIinSky

NEW YORK-Socialists sn6
Communists, workers of all shade,
of political opinion in the Pocket
book Workers Union, have united
their forces against the appoint
ment of Osip Wolinsky as the lad
visor" of the union.
The various groups in the union
-Progressives, the Leather Work
ers' Society, the Rank and File
Committee and the Socialist League
realizing the dangerous position
into which the union was placed
through the appointment of Violin
sky, who was condemned by the en-
tire labor movement as a traitor to
the working class, held a confer
ence, where they united their forces
through the formation of a United
Anti-Wolinsky Committee.
The purpose of the committee
according to an official statement
issued yesterday, is:
"(D To conduct united strug-
gle against Wolinsky and his poll
cies, not to permit him to estab-
hsh reign of Hitlerism in our
union, and to see to It that our
union should get rid of Wolinsky
as quickly as possible.
"t2) To clean out from our
administration all dishonest and
irresponsible elements W h
dragged down our union into the
Wolinsky -mire and put it to
shame and scorn of the entire
labor movement.
"(3) To create such a united
force in our union, which should
be able to defeat the harmful
elements and to establish an ad-
ministration which will serve the
interest of all our members.
"At the same time we pledge
ourselves to help with all our
power to resist the attacks of our
bosses and to fight for our de-
mands both in New York and
out of town
The committee has issued an APP
peal to all class-conscious members
of the union mot to allow them
selves to be terrorized by our ad-
ministration, but with courage ano
determination to conduct fight for
a clean, honest, fighting union"

New Jersey Relief Strikes
Continue to Spread

PATERSON, N. 1.-THE strike of
relief workers here and throughout
New Jersey against the 10 cents an
hour wages continued to grow yes
terday when 100 men walked out in
Passaic and hundreds laid down
tools throughout Bergen County. In
Belleville, so relief workers walked
out on relief project in Ours Bog,
joining strikers in Bergen, Union,
Passaic and Essex Counties. Other
strikers are out in Elizabeth and in
Perth Amboy.
In all cases the men are strik-
ing against the June ruling of
the New Jersey Relief Commission
which provides that each relief
client must work five consecutive
eight-hour days each month in re-
turn for a grocery order and 81
cash for 40 hours work.

some other strategy, such as calling
union leaders to the White House,
may be successful in thwarting the
strike.
President Roosevelt cleared his
desk at 2:3o today to receive the fol-
lowing:
Secretary of Labor Frances Per-
kins; Chairman Wagner of the Ma
tional Labor Board; Senator Rob-
inson of Arkansas, Democratic
leader in the Senate; Representa-
tive Joseph Byrnes of Tennessee,
Democratic leader in the House;
Donald Richberg, chief lawyer of
the N. R. A, and Joseph Wyzanski,
solicitor of the Labor Department
The secret conference was still
in session two hours after it began.
Although all official sources with
held comment, it was generally re-
ported that the measure under con-
sideration is one to declare a broad
principle of arbitration in labor dis
putes = something less controver-
sial" than the Wagner Labor Dis
putes and the Wagner Industrial
Adjustment bills, in other words
something calling for arbitration
without demagogic trimmings again
promising protection of collective
bargaining and union recognition
johnson strongly indicated this
today when he was asked whether
it would be logical to suppose Presi-
dent Roosevelt might propose tc
make good his recent promise tc
hold elections" in steel johnson
said: CAS- far as the law now stands
tender of elections is just tender
of good offices-there is no statu-
tory authority for elections" Ir
other words, the government in
Johnson's view can only promise
good offices"
Nobody expects the law to be
strengthened with respect to the
promise Of collective bargaining
that would make it more instead of
less controversial.

Thomas Upton, the man who ale

self a silver loving cup as a re-
ward for his having always lost

what has happened to tIhe
cherished traditions Of our coun-
try?
IN CERTAIN periods of depression,
have believed even that the
constituents Of the sports page ex-
perts never pay attention to what
is exported about the yacht races.
These optimistic souls, know. are
capable of swallowing anything, but
there are two sports, I believe, with
which they are utterly out of any
thing but passing glances; and
these are yacht racing and polo.
have never seen the emblems Of
one muck-a-muck or another in
these sports on the lapel of any
man. They are sports only for the
descendants of those crowned with
Mayhowerhood. To the forgotten
man they can be of as much SER
vice as ar arbitration board or
Sunny Roosevelts smile.
When Sir Thomas was losing
with smile and filling the news
papers with his tea ads, his chal-
lenges were considered front page
stuff. Every time Sir Thomas came
over a special press chorus used
to meet him with hallelujas. But
Sir Thomas was a dog for publicity;
and the Tuxedo Park and Newport
crowd extends itself only in the
matter of divorces. They are
evidently not subject to heartburn
if the profanun yuIgus doesn't
follow their sporting exploits with
bated breaths; and the newspapers
give them only conservative chron-
icles. There is not a name among
them, anyhow, which has been
played up to any lustre. So that
is why, comrades, the racket of Sir
Thomas who used to lose with a
smile is now in the limbo.

sport as yacht-racing which, when
Sir Thomas walked the earth, used

The blue bloods still sail the seas

such a thing as the American Cup

Jimmy was the mandarin chief

races used to be pulled up as hot
exhibitions and the philosophers
who covered them for the news

1 REPUBLICAN OF IDAHO IS
 ON WAR PATH
Borah Demands Reorgani- zation of Party or
 New One Formed

WASHINGTON, Dec. B. The revolt of the young and liberal Republican clements will force a complete reorganization" of the Republican Party for the 1886 cam paign. This was prophesied Satur- day by United States Senator Will liam E. Borah, of Idaho
 He demands what could be called a revolution" unless the Conserv- atives, now in control, hold a meet ing at once to cooperate on the reorganization plan.
 Challenge Issued
 In a statement commenting on the proposal of Charles D. Hilles, Republican National Committee man of New York, that the Party guard against reorganization lest it result in factional chaos, Sena- tor Borah, in effect, challenged the Chairman Henry P. Fletcher and Hilles group to hold a plebe- scite if they believed the rank and file of the Party didn't desire reor- ganization.
 New Organization
 If these gentlemen are unwill- ing to do this, there is only one thing to do, as I see it, and that is to create new organization. Therefore Young Republican Clubs should be formed all over the country" said the Idaho Senator These clubs would form a nucle- us for the purpose of sending repre- sentatives to a common meeting place, elect a Chairman and com plete national organization"
 No Third Party
 Insisting that he did not want third party but a new Republi- can Party, Senator Borah said his stand will probably be interpreted as a revolution" He said if re- organization is not effected, the Party will drift along in the hands of those who have caused the Party to lose confidence from the rank and file until time for a Na- tional Convention.
 This situation ought to be dealt with at once," the Idaho Republi- can declared.
