Coz he had some trouble with the
aforementioned cook about some
meat which had already made sew
ersl trips around the world and
down to Australia and back.
1t was revealed that this cook re-
fused to doctor the meat until it
could be served to the crew with
out them detecting it's state OF de-
terioration Consequently the crew
had no meat and all kinds of hell
was raised. The cook refused to
take it on the chin and told the
crew his reasons for not serving the
mcat, stating that even If they
wanted to eat it he would not cook
it.
Before the ship arrived in New
York the meat was jettisoned. The
cook was fired, not for refusing to
cook the meat, but for telling the
crew what the ships steward ex-
pected them to eat.

Conscious Anti-Semitic
Employment Policy
Followed
BY a Telegraph Worker
Correspondent

NEW YORK, N. Y. Nov. IS. -
About five years ago the execu-
tives Of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company were given a rude
shock An ambitious personnel
manager, with Y. M. c. A. back
ground, pointed out this concern
had comparatively large Jewish
personnel. This was very unusual
for a public utility. The electric,
gas and telephone companies were
notorious for their snti-semitic
employment policy. 1t was easier
for q Jew TO go through the eye
Of the proverbial needle than to
land on their payroll. This in spite
of the fact that over per cent OF
their customers were Of this despised
race.
The "seeping in" as it was Of
ficially termed, was originally due
to the fact the chief factor in the
bankers. Kuhn, Loeb 81 Co., who
financed this concern was the pious
Jew Jacob Schiff. He had insisted
upon a certain percentage of the
employees, at least in New York
City, being Jewish. The competitive
situation at the time required such
a latitude. The Jewish concerns
were naturally disposed to give their
business to this company in prefer
ence to the other company.
The company decided to correct
this situation. New York City was
to be the spearhead Of this purg-
ing. However, caution wxs to be
exercised so as not to expose its
hand. The present general man
ager was considered unreliable for
this task.
Away down South In Georgia a
fiery xxx. sy1npathizer Cif not
an active member) had made quite
a reputation for his high handed
mistreatment Of his employees. He
found himself propelled up the lad
der by his superiors into a super
intendency. He was just the man
to do the trick. He came to New
York.
He first started on the mes
sengers. Finding that about 10
per cent Of the messengers we're
Jewish he ordered the employment
department to hire Jewish mes
sengers on quota basis. The same
applied to the employment Of clerks,
operators and the filling of other
positions.
With the coming of the depres-
sion came looked for opportunity.
Under the guise Of economy, trans
fers Of Jewish managers and others
in the higher brackets could be
made. Others with short terms of
service were furloughed, and others
were placed on reduced time. Dur
ing all this time the Jewish en-
ployes with possibly few excep-
tons were unaware Of this prelim-
mary "readjuStment" that was to
end in a complete purge, sparing
only a few. These exceptions can
be always conveniently used as
proof" that there is no discrimina-
ton.
Of course these tactics not only
affected the Jewish personnel. It
was part and parcel of a general
plan to reduce the entire standard
Of wages and conditions. Other
higher compensated employees were
affected in the same manner. The
Jewish purge was the screen behind
which the full force of fascism was
to be hurled at the workers. The
company union association Of
Western Union Employees played
and still plays despicable role in
this serious situation.

the past year through organizing

gressional district. recommended today
that the seat be declared vacant.
Chairman Kerr of the committee
said the report had the unanimous
agreement of the committee and that
it would be made public later in the
day.
He said the report would be filed
with the House late today and that
the resolution would be introduced next
week. when it would be recommended
that neither Mrs Bolivar E Kemp nor
j. Y. Sanders. jr., be seated.
Mrs. Kemp, with the support of Sen
ator Huey P. Long. was elected Decem-
Der S last. in an election called by Gov.
Oscar Allen of Louisiana. after she
had been nominated by the District
Democratic Executive Committee, which
failed to call the primary.
Sanders protested the election as
illegal. and he in turn was named at
an election On December 81. which was
called by a citizens committee.
Both elections were declared illegal
by opposing witnesses at hearings last
week of House Elections Committee
No. 3.
The committee is expected to recon-
ment that another election-this time
providing for a primary-be called by

By the Associated Press.

Two mystery-tinted sheafs of official
correspondence bearing the name OF
Walter F. Brown reappeared in the files
Of the Post ONCE Department today,
marking the end of a cellar -garret
search.
The former Postmaster General hand
ed the letters to his successor, James A.
Farley, short time before, with an ex-
PLANTATION that despite testimony of
their burning beore Senate committee,
these particular files appeared 'un-
scathed by their fantastic experience in
the fiery furnace"
Expressing "amazement" that the
documents had appeared in his personal
belongings, Brown emphasized his be-
lief in the theory they had been placed
there in an attempt to discredit him by
some one who was engaged in a cam
paign Of character assassination" He
discounted theories that some one on
his staff had purposely or carelessly put
the papers where they were found.
Farley had Post Office inspectors
make an inventory of the letters early
today before placing them again on file.
He withheld all other public comment.
Hardly had Brown delivered the files
to Farley late yesterday before Chair
man Black of the Senate Airmail In
vestigating Committee said he hoped
there will be more miraculous diScov-
cries" adding, ut is regrettable that
we cannot find the correspondence that
was burned"
Black indicated he would not call
Brown before his committee. The
former Postmaster General said it
would be ''only fair" that he be al
lowed to testify.
In his letter, Brown explained he
found the official letters in a packing
box that had been moved about with
his personal belongings for months.
When got the box opened, the lid
of which had been held in place by
more than 20 long screws, was amazed
to find among the mass of books,
