Although the shipping of scabs into
the hotels has been done with the
utmost secrecy, it was revealed yes
terday that one of the chief agen-
cies for herding scabs is an office at
352 w. 57th st. This agency adver-
tised openly in the press, stating that,
due to the fact that a strike situa-

needed "for permanent jobs with
good pay"
C. w. A. Attempts To Break Strike
Information was also received
which pointed to the fact that the
G. w. A. Office had sent 8 worker

worker, however, refused to take the
job.
A girl striker from the Waldorf re-
ported today that a number of girls
we're being held in hotel rooms for
scab work.
These girls would come out if we
urge them little" said the young
striker.

Walters Strike Reveals
Vicious ''Kick-Back'' Racket

"On our pay envelopes" the wait

S. week in tips, no matter whether
we made that much or not. They
do this in order to make it appear
that they are abiding by the N.R.A.
We are supposed to get, according to
N.R.A., SIS q week. Deducting the
S6 we are supposed to be getting, they
have been paying us $940 week,
and nov $40. Out of the $40. we
have to kick-back an average of Sc
a week, leaving us "a in wages, or
less.
In addition, most of the walters
spend an average of $3.50 a week
for food This is not only true of the
st. George, but is general, as revealed
by many striking walters The food
given the walters at the ST. George
is the left overs from banquets, par

NEW YORK.-The surge of wait
RS striking for higher wages has re-
vealed the existence Of vicious
''kick-back" racket that forces from
IS to 81 out Of the walters $40 weekly
wages.
Walters in all the hotels of the
city have to make some payment in
order to hold their jobs, and i'll the
st. George Hotel, the waiter is forced
to hand over IS cents 20 $125 every
day to Manager Fuller. Every morn
ing, between 10 and IL, Fuller makes
the rounds and says: Lets have the
fish" This has been going on every
day for the last three and q half
years.
Fuller is paid no salary by the hotel
owners; he is told to collect his wages
by extorting money from the walters.
Up until two weeks ago, the wages
were S9.40 and tips. The walters had
to pay go cents weekly for laundry.
When word Of organizational activi-
ties get around to the management
this was abolished to ease the anger
OF the walters.

Dismissal Motion
Denied By Judge
In Powers Trial
Labor Defense Calls for
Workers To Pack
Court

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-In the clos
ing minutes of the trial of George
Powers, charged with 'inciting to
riot" when he led an unemployed
demonstration at City Hall in April
1892, it was clearly indicated by the
actions of the court that it is deter
mined to railroad Powers to a long
prison term. Joseph Tauber, Attor-
ney for Powers, showed concluSive-y Y
that there are no sufficient grounds
for holding the defendant and asked
for a dismissal of the case. But,
despite this fact, the motion was de-
MED. The case will go to the jury
tomorrow after the Summations are
made by both sides.
Irving Axelrod of the Alteration
Painters Union and Thomas Ormsby
Of the Irish Workers Club, both of
whom were members Of the delega-
ton to present the petition for the
reopening of the Home Relief Bu-
reaus, testified today, bringing out the
brutal attacks made by tho police
against the unemployed workers at
the demonstration.
Deputy Chief Inspector dcAuliffe
was put on the stand again today in
an attempt by the prosecution to
modify the perjured statements made
by him last week. McAuliffe, how
ever, only succeeded in adding to the
mass of contradictions he has already
made.
The Powers trial must be sup
ported by every class conscious
worker since it was Powers who led
the demonstration for unemployed
workers in April, 1892. Every work
er is urged to come to the court

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 29.-There
is a temporary truce in the strike Of
700 employees of the Book Cadillac
Hotel, as strikers we're tricked back
to work Wednesday by Frank Martel,
President Of the Detroit Federation
Of Labor with the promise Of arbitra-
ton OF the main demand.
The strikers are demanding the re-
instaUement Of six workers fired for
union activity. The strike won con-
cessions for cooks and walters whose
wages were raised to the union scale,
The hotel was also forced to take
back all the strikers without dis
elimination. The strikers elected
rank and file strike committees de-
spite the A. F. Of L. leaders resist
ance.
The workers are sore because Mar

grievances is provided for in the
agreement with the hotel.

not reinstated. CONSERVATION grippeo

countries and waters; and creation
of a National system of unampIoy-
ment and social insurance from

Dorothy Detzer told Rainey that in
nine yea-s of Washington work for
the w. I. l.. she had never seen
legislation rushed through as the
current military program is beinq
speeded; that its object of aiding
war-profit makers is evident from the
fact that Wright Aeronautic stock
jumped from 33 to rs when another
building program was announced last
Saturday.
War Against q. S S. r.
Il say to you, ladies and gentlemen.

the Spring" Rainay responded. Then
he elaborated, saying, Russia ap-
pears to be the great peace-loving
Nation in the East" but that Japan's
refusal to enter a ncn-aggression
pact and other factors justified his
fear of war. He stated fatty that

to keep them (Russia and Japan
from fighting and will be able to
Keep cut Of it itself"
BY "Clasping hands in fellowship +"
he added, "the two great peace loy-
ing nations" can retard war. He
pointed out also that before 1914 huge
peace societies in the United States
were hampering all efforts to pre-
pare this nation for war. But when
1917 came and the United States
couldn't remain out of It," the same
pacifiSts severely criticized the gov
ernment for having to train it's men
with broom-sticks.
War Preparedness
II think that if we had been pre-
)ared then, there would have been
40 war," he said.
But France and Germany and all
the countries OF Europe were ade-
quately prepared for war and it didn't
prevent war;" another delegate in
terjected.
"Yes, they we're prepared said
Rainey, "and they got what they
prepared for"
In response to demands for social
insurance, the Speaker declared: {:
THE time will come when we must
do some of the things that Russia
is doing it we are to remain a capi-
talistic nation"
The indication that the dominant
powers are keenly aware of the fight
for genuine unemployment insurance
and are deviSing substitute schemes
came also from Rechner, who point
cd out that Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
velt is going to speak on the sub
]ect. None OF the officials pointed
out of course, that these schemes
are makeshift sops to quiet demands
for real insurance.
Capitalist Press Ignores Delegation
Dozens of reporters in the White
House executive offices stood by, but
ieW paid any attention to the dele
cations interview with Secretary Nc
lntyre. The delegation, though,
pressed its case. When Matthews
had declared that the acts of the
administration as a whole seem to
us most colossal preparation for war
ever undertaken by q 'peace-time'
administration" the Secretary sug-
gested that they should leave q
statement" about it. Then Mother
Bloor spoke up warming that the
impoverished farmers, 10000 in her
organization, are disillusioned.
Il think the farmers have been
treated pretty WELL" Mcintyre re-
turned.
Quotes Green's Approval
In response to repeated pleas that
the C.C.C. be removed from military
control, Fechner stood at his desk
and declared, there is no discussion
OF any such thing" He complained
about fool letters" which, he said,
often come to him with complaints
against militarization of the C.C.C.
youth. Asked why the camps must
be under army domination, he re-
ported that he talked the matter over
With WiT-"'n C-een Of the A. F. of L.
d that eve agreed that the way
to handle it was to let the Army
take charge"
Are you satisfied with the present
C.C.C. set-up?" Matthews asked.
I think it is as efficient as il
could be-" said Fechner.

O1 CIle capitalist dCnIeClc move
ment in this country just lister
to this:
The Metropolitan A. A. U. recently
issued a call for amateur boxers to
enter their tournament held at 8
hotel in New York on Jan. 10. Among
the aSpirantS who answered was one
Joe Barth, young featherweight, who
was accompanied by his father and
a handler. Barth didn't sign an entry
bank, and SO, even according to A.
A.U. rules, wasn't committed to box
anybody chosen as an opponent.
THE young hopeful was soon de-
luded. He arrived early in the
evening and was sent down to q sub
basement, Stuffy darkened, crowded
room filled with 40 boxers and han
dlers and important looking, domin-
eering A. A. U. officials. After watt
ing around for an hour and a half
standing up all the time, the Barths
and their handler decided to go home
and quit wasting their time since
there didn't. seem to be a fighter at
Joe's weight anyway.
They walked through the door
Of the cellar and were about half
way up the steps when they were
showed back roughly by big, tough
guard dressed, appropriately, in
tuxedo.
"0ut da back way for youse
guys" he beloved gently.
So the Barths went down again
and spent some futile minutes lock-
ing for a back exit. They were
stuck. The only way out was
guarded by that big bruiser.
A 7 $3.50 they were permitted to leave
II but Joe was refused his registra-
t1on ticket without which a boxer
can't compete. The handler remained
and noticed that the classes of
weights looked funny. In the light
heavy class Mark Hough, a Negro
boxer who usually boxes as a mid
dleTeight, was paired with q light
heavy, class some pounds higher.
Attention Of this was called to Tom
Lockhart, chairman of the A. A. u.
but that pompous official merely
shrugged.

PittSburgher Charges Pro.
fession Must Demand
Higher Standards.

Charging that architects as q group
have failed to coordinate themselves
with other factors in the construction
industry, Harvey A. schwab, member
American Institute Of Architects, de-
clares that in the future the pro-
fession must demand higher stand
ards Of performance.
The new order in architecture will
be built on whatever foundations are
designed by the small group strug-
Cling to correct past errors, Mr..
Schwsb says. This group, he asserts,
has an importance out Of all pro-
portion to its numbers.
Will Need Greater Skill.
I'VE believe that the future will
require architects to be equipped with
far greater artistic and technical skill
than ever before" states Mr.. Schwab.
Their ethical standards must be
beyond question and their economic,
social and cultural background suf-
f1ciently broad as to enable them to
think clearly through difncult prob
lens and arrive at conclusions Of
value both to their clients and the
community at large.
They must demand from them
selves and their organizations. as
we'll as from those agencies which
execute their work, far higher
standard of performance. Finally,
they must demand, and be worthy
Of, leadership in the construction IN
dustry, and earn that recognition
from the public at large which Is
rightly due the profession Of archi-
lecture.
Practice Disappearing.
"At present the practice of archi-
lecture, as we have known it, Is
disappearing. Building activity re-
quiring architectural services is at
so low an ebb that the private prac-
titioner has joined the ranks Of the
unemployed or has been forced to
enter the service Of some govern
mental agency as a craftsman or, as
last extremity, obtain what he can
under the Civil Works Administration.
"A fraction of the profession is
thoroughly aware of the situation
and is making a determined effort to
overcome past errors Of omission and
commission and clear the path for
the future. This small group has
an importance out Of all proportion
to its members, since the new order
will be built upon whatever founda.
tions they design.
Do Not Enjoy Confidence. =

nationwide PAINT
MOVE IS PREDICTED
Expected to Fall in Line With
Governments Renovizing
Drive.

A Nationwide painting movement,
in line with the Governments present
renovizing drive. is predicted for the
Spring and Summer months of this
year by the scientific section Of the
National Paint, varnish and Lacquer
Association here.
Declaring that buildings all over the
country are thirsty for paint" and
have been suffering from paint
drought for long period. DR.. Henry
A. Gardner. research authority for
the association, believes "a lot OF
painting will soon be done on surfaces
which have not been repainted fol-
several years"
Long neglected surfaces" he says
further, ARE extremely dry and
porous, as rule, and when paint Is
applied to them, act like sponges and
soak up the oil from the priming coat
The oil, being absorbed by the wood
in localized areas, presents surfaces
which are rather dry and chalky
Spotting Of the film becomes evident
some areas being glossy but most Of
them dull and flat. This condition Is
especially noticeable wherever a sim
gle coat of paint is applied" The
situation, DR.. Gardner says, demands
special attention by the paint user
and points out the necessity Of at
least two and preferably three coats
Of paint to present q pleasing surface
that will last for years.
"A liberal use Of linseed OIL" he re-
ports, "is usually necessary in the
primer to overcome the porosity Of a
badly weathered surface. Sufficient
oil should be employed to penetrate
into the porous under stratum, giving
new life to the old film, and at the
same time increasing its adhesion to
the underlying surface"
