Start Mass Lay-0ff
on Wisconsin C.W.A.
Wages SIashed on Many
Jobs

SUPERIOR, Wise, Jan. is. = All
workers were laid off at the Gordon
C.W.A. job here last Wednesday. The
project has at times employed as
many as $50 men.
In the past the men had many
grievances on the job and had started
to take organizational steps. To coun-
teract any militant steps taken by
the men, the project was completely
shut down.
OSHKOSH, Wise, Jan. 16.-After
the recent pronouncement by Harry
Hopkins, federal relief administrator,
that C.W.A. projects in Kentucky,
Michigan, and Wisconsin would be
greatly curtailed, C.W.A. workers here
are being laid of wholesale.
In the face of mass lay-offs, wages
are being slashed. Truck drivers who
formerly were paid 10 cents an hour,
have been cut to SIS cents. Workers
who live outside the city limits are
being cut five cents an hour, and in
most cases, skilled workers are being
paid unskilled rates of pay for skilled
work.

Shoe Workers Gust
Official from Post
in HaVerhiII, Mass.
Protective Union Agent
Refuses to Give Up
Union Office

HAVERHILL, Mass, Jan. 17-Fol-
lowing the decision Of local after local
Of shoe workers here to Gust District
Agent Keleher for his action in him
daring amalgamation into the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union, the
District Council Of the Shoe Workers
Protective Union decided to Gust him
from office.
The locals have also gone on record
to reject the proposal for arbitration,
made by the MIRA. and supported
by Keleher, on the question of re-
garding prices in the Holtz and Gold
berg shops involving a wage cut to the
workers.
Keleher, informed Of the action OF
the District Council refused to vacate
his office on Monday when the Dis
trict Council, in accordance with its
decision came to take over the union
apparatus Instead he barricaded
himself behind steel safe and called
police to aid him to keep the workers
cut Of the office.
The 200 workers who came TO back
up the District Council in its action
battled for an hour to open the door
after having scorned a letter from the
general office signed by j. Nolan,
president of the Shoe Workers Pro-
tective and Hamilton, secretary, that
the charter Of the District Council
had been revoked. The shoe workers
were determined to have their own
building and apparatus. Police did
not dare to dispense them.
The workers later withdrew and
decided to hold a meeting on Thurs
day night with the eoordinating COM
mittee which is now the only national
body the rank and file members rec
ognize.
The District Council is backed by
the entire rank and file at its last
meeting 1t also voted to uphold its
previous stand for strike against
the Holtz and Goldberg shops to stop
wage cutting, and defeat the regrad-
ing scheme.
On Tuesday night, Stitchers Local
10 decided to support the District
Councils action. During the meeting
a squad Of police entered the hall
protecting Hamilton, secretary Of the
Protective.
Hamilton and Nolan are concen-
trating their activity to prevent
analgamation in this important shoe
cented which is the stronghold Of the
Protective, with membership Of over
1000.
Here the militant rank and file,
many Of whom are members Of the
Communist Party and playing the
leading part in cleaning out the clique
Of corrupt office holders and estab-
fishing rank and file control and
amalgamation. Joe Costello, militant
leader of the movement to Gust Kele-
her is now pressing charges for his
expulsion from the union, which viii
be heard on Friday night.

the C.WA. officials of Hunterdon
County, New Jersey, was won today.

A delegation Of fighting farmers
from the local quickly caused Major

grant their demands.
Too Old"
One 80-year-oId farmer Of old
American stock had never missed
paying his taxes. Even this year,
when his life savings to tide himself
and wife over their declining years
have been swallowed by a bank fail
ure, he met his taxes. But that took
his last cent and poor farmers have
no income. He applied to the gov
eminent he has supported all his life
for a C.W.A, job. They told him he
was too old. The farmers demanded
that he get relief and told Major
Allen the man was not too old to
starve.
In the other case, the father OF a
farm family Of eleven had been
granted work, but his oldest son was
refused by the Major himself, with
the words, zone in q family is all
that can have a job" Fifteen dol
lars week will not support eleven.
The farmers demanded that one of
the older sons be given a job. Major
Allen called in a clerk and signed up

AS the delegation could not be

Release of Leaders
Workers, Farmers Hold
Demonstration

WAYNE, w. Va, Jan. 16.-One
thousand unemployed workers and
farmers gathered at the Wayne
County Court House here recently to
protest the arrest of four of their
leaders. The four, arrested on charges
Of conspiracy to incite to riot, were
released on $500 bond each, pending
action of the March grand jury.
The charges grew out of an unem-
ployed march on the C.WA. head
quarters in December. At that time
the unemployed stated they would
picket all work projects if they were
not given jobs.
Sheriff J. Fox Frey. Of Wayne
County, called in State Police to as

Neglected in Prison

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 17.--William
Wollertz, leader of Anacortes unem-
ployed workers, recently framed on
riot charge, is dying at the home
Of his father after Monroe Refor-
matory authorities, convinced that he
could not recover, had him removed

The action Of the reformatory
authorities who subjected Wollertz to
the same priyations as the other
prisoners though they knew Of his
very weak physical condition and
sent MIN to the prison hospital after
it was too late to help him, is char
acterized by the International Labor

ate murder.

paign to expose the Monroe Refor-
matory authorities, and to win the
freedom Of Ray Traitor, still in Mon
